I talked to our beloved KitchenWitch today....and here's the scoop...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

She hasn't been online since Friday, and she won't be able to return until (hopefully no later than) Tuesday evening...

What happened? Friday, a power surge hit her house, and burned up her cable modem.....

And the company can't fix it till Tuesday afternoon.....

She is computer-less......:cry:

She just wanted to let all of you know what the deal was......

I will bookmark this thread and give it to her when she returns!

I miss her bunches......:cry:

[SeattleGirl]

1. Thanks Peggy

I was wondering where Kitchey was!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. My dear SeattleGirl!

I know she will appreciate your comments! She is climbing the walls...

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

5. I bet she is!

I'd be doing the same thing.

Kitchey, when you're able to get back on DU, I missed you, and welcome back! :loveya:

[DainBramaged]

2. The Lady KitchenWitch always makes me smile

I wondered why she hadn't posted. All my best till her compy can talk again. And I hope her house heals up real soon. Surges are terrible.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Hi there, my dear DainBramaged!

Now you know.....She knows relief is coming, but it is hard on her...

She told me they always have surges....but maybe this one was really BAD...

[DainBramaged]

29. Battery back up (UPS) would protect her system

and if it failed, the companies reimburse for damage too

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. Turns out that wasn't her problem.....

It seems that her son unplugged something.......

All is again well!

She has a thread around here someplace where she explains it.....

:hi:

[Shine]

6. Thanks for the newsflash. Bummer on the power surge.

Dang technology. IT's a LOVE/HATE relationship, ain't it?

Glad to know she'll get back on soon. I haven't been on as much myself, lately, so I hadn't had the chance to miss her yet.

I'm sure we'll get all the gory details later. :)

:hi: Peggy!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. My dear Shine!

I hear ya on the love/hate relationship with technology! We LOVE our toys...

Till they turn on us, and bite us ....*um* someplace tender!

These are all the gory details as of right now, anyhow...

:hi: back atcha, Shine!

[Floogeldy]

7. Tell the Queen Witch that we miss her.

:cry:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. My dear Floog......

If I talk to her before Tuesday, I certainly will....

But when she comes back, and trust me, she will....she will get this thread!

And then you will have told her yourself!

:hug:

[NMMNG]

8. I don't know if I can live without snark until Tuesday

But I guess I have no choice. :cry:

Tell her I miss her, and give her a :hug: for me.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. Oh, I hear you, my dear Buffy!

I miss the snark too....:cry:

But she will return, and that's the good news!

We'll just have to console each other, and hang on, till she does...

Your hug will be delivered, one way or the other! :hug:

[Whoa_Nelly]

12. Oh, poor KW!

It's like having your right arm cut off!

Will be sure to look for her return!

Thanks, CP!


For KitchenWitch

May you return more powerful than ever!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. My dear Whoa_Nelly!

I'm sure she will appreciate this wonderful image!

She will hopefully be back this coming Tuesday late afternoon/evening...

I'm hoping so much!

:hi:

[BikeWriter]

14. Oh, ####, Doll! That's a bummer. KW is A-freak'n-1.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. My dear BikeWriter!

It is definitely a bummer, big time...and she misses us bunches!

She will be happy to have heard from you, I can tell you.....

:hug:

[BikeWriter]

16. Well, she knows we love her, Sweety. I hope she's back soon!

:(

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. If all goes according to plan.....

And the cable people do fix her cable modem Tuesday PM.....

She will be back Tuesday late afternoon/early evening!

I can tell you that she is champing at the bit......

[BikeWriter]

18. Okay, Doll. Thank you. I hope everything works as planned. :-)

[Fleshdancer]

19. can the lounge vote on how she should spend her time until Tuesday?

If anything I bet you could make a fun poll in her honor. The funnier the selection the better.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. Now that 's a terrific idea......

But I have no imagination! :rofl:

You go ahead!



:applause:

[Fleshdancer]

23. I just don't know her very well....

so I don't know if my ideas will come across as insulting or hilarious. If she ends up offended for any reason, it will be up to you to convince her that it was all innocent fun.

ok let's see...

well if she knows how to knit or learns how to knit, I bet matcom could use some wool chaps for when he's on his scooter thing. Or we could vote on having her prank call certain people every hour on the hour. Stealing garden gnomes and taking "absence of color" photos of them for the next photo contest...I don't know. This is all I can come up with for now. :( I have a feeling many of the lounge regulars will be able to come up with better ideas.

[KitchenWitch]

25. I am not easily offended!

:hi:

[Fleshdancer]

28. hey, you're back!

are you posting from work or something? I can't imagine you got your cable modem fixed over night. If you did, that was incredible customer service in a creepy, they come at night sort of way.

We didn't even have time to figure out what to tell you to do while you were gone. I'm sure we would have thought of something extra funny though. :hi:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

20. Awww. How sad! I miss her.

:popcorn: :cry:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. My dear Crazy.......

So do I.....:cry:

There will be much rejoicing when she returns! :bounce: :bounce:

[KitchenWitch]

24. I am here

My son accidentally unplugged it when he was plugging something else in, and he just discovered it.

:rofl:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

26. And the rejoicing has commenced!

:yourock: :loveya: :hug:

[DainBramaged]

31. Happy Days are here again

:party: :party: :party: :party: :party:

[GalleryGod]

27. It happens.
