I'm typing on it as we speak, but I dropped it last night pretty hard and now the cd thing won't open!!! Dammit! I think its jammed, b/c I press the button and no light turns on and it doesn't pop open!
Anyone know any ways to get it open or should I just take it to get it fixed?
To get it open, there is a little hole on the CD drive next to the button to open it, take a paper clip and bend it a little and push it in there, it will hit a little switch and manually push open the CD drive.
CD drives on some laptops are very easy to replace. You can look on the bottom of the laptop and may see a switch that you can push aside and then pull the CD drive out. You can try removing it that way if you can and putting it back in to see if your computer will recognize it.
Thanks guys! Its a Toshiba Satellite, I saw that little hole, but was worried about something happening. I am a klutz and punched my last laptop's keyboard and had to put it to rest...or is that anger management issues? :IDK
No! Not the wooden spoon.:eyebug :bigeyes :rant hno
My mama use to hit me with one of those. She stop after she broke it hitting me. I was laughing so hard when that happened that she never hit me again after that.
Sally Leiber is the biggest bleeding heart liberal in California. She was interviewed for this ridiculous legislation that she brought to the California Assembly. First question she was asked was, "by the way, do you have any children Assemblywoman Lieber?" Her reply was, "no I do not and I don't see what that has anything to do with landmark legislation."
DUH???
Keep this up and I'm moving east to bug mountaineer's wife cuz she likes me but she just can't get herself to admit it.
LOL. If Sally Leiber was at the beach with us, she would have already beat the shit out of all 4 boys! I think before any human is allowed to propose such ridiculous bullshit, they should have children.
gee, that sounds like a great idea- let's throw more people in overcrowded, drug/disease infested, ineffective prisons because they wish to discipline their children in the manner they see fit. doesn't this woman have better things to legislate about? maybe like providing insurance for said children, how about that?
and for the record, i was never spanked, but i know plenty of people who were. and they turned out much better than those children who were allowed to run amok...
I see both ends of the spectrum in juvenile court. I see the parents who DO NOTHING to discipline their kids and the PARENTS sign warrants on their own kids for being UNGOVERNABLE.:shake
I also see the ones who do use the buckle end of the belt and the kids have welts and the deep cuts from the beatings. :madbeating :headspin :madbeating :headspin Now, those people should be in jail. And, most are.:magwink

Oh, Lord have mercy! I can't believe this has happened again! I rarely use the wooden spoon to spank Foster, but when he needs it (like when he threw the laptop), I spank him. But usually the threat of the spoon works. Time out does not work for this child; therefore, I spank him.
Yes, I spank my child. And he is the most precious thing in the world to me, but I have no intention of raising a child that does not respect his parents, does not follow rules, and does not understand actions/consequences! If time out worked with him, of course I would do that instead. But it doesn't. HOORAY for those people that can utilize time out.
Good grief, I thought this discussion was hashed out months ago.
^^Me too! I would never beat my child! But he's very strongwilled and I don't want to lose control of him while I can still physically control him. He already weighs 45 pounds at 3 years old; I must teach him boundries and rules while I still can!
It definitely depends on the brand! A Teva flop is too soft to hurt and that is what my sister used. A havianaia would be a good choice. If nothing else, it will make a LOUD noise and sometimes that is better for getting your point across anyway!!:rofl
Was your mom partially or fully impaired at the time?:eyebug
Big difference...fork throwing..and a behind swat..:eyebug
Of course its good to be thankful she didn't grab from the knife collection..:roll
^^Mike, although I don't doubt that you deserved SOMETHING being thrown at you, I do not believe in using RANDOM kitchen utinsels to discipline children!
My son is a wonderful child and I can assure you he has never been abused. Sometimes, when Foster acts like an ass, he gets a pop with a wooden spoon. The end.

^^For real! I think parents have a responsibility to do WHATEVER it takes to make their children behave! I can tell that so many of my students have not been disciplined at home, most likely because their parents weren't either. Like I have said, I wasn't spanked much because I was a good kid. However, some kids just need it. My headstrong red-headed kid needs a POP when he does things like throwing my laptop across the room during a tantrum. Time out? Yeah, right. . .
At camp I had one kid that was a devil child. He was 4, and when he didn't get what he wanted he would throw a huge tantrum, he had no fucking respect for any any authority figures. And this was in response to the most trivial things imaginable, like not getting the right ice pop, or sometimes for no reason at all.
In response to not getting a cookie he tried to climb out the window. The window was several feet above him, so it was more stupid than rebellious, but ridiculous nonetheless.
He ran away on a daily basis, and would attempt to kick and hit me whenever I caught him. If I had to hold his hand to keep him from getting away he would try to hit my hand until i let him go. I was like 3 times his size though so I could solve that by holding his hand above his head, way out of his reach. He would persist though, which was rather entertaining as he couldn't actually do anything :devil
On parents day his father visited, and it was obvious he knew about the problem. We asked him what he did when he acted up at home, and he said he would count down from 3 and threaten that he would be in big trouble if he didn't dome immediately. This would be followed by a time out. This was surprisingly effective in the short run, but did nothing in the long term. 10 minutes later he would dry his tears and throw another fit
Oh yeah, he also locked himself in the bathroom for 4 hours. We pretty much had to wait that out. No fucking way I was going to crawl on the disgusting floor to go in and get the little bastard out of the stall, don't get payed nearly enough for that. Or for any of his other bullshit for that matter
