Al, I don't think those hotspot dongles need to satisfy the same criteria as cellphones when it comes to radiation. I wouldn't keep it on my person.

alaskan already has five kids

Good point, Oz. Al, maybe get a couple more of those, perhaps even a cell tower in your living room.

This was a fun article, "Why Finnish babies sleep in cardboard boxes"

Some more Finnish propaganda for you.

Funny.

My chick made it through the night. There was much screaming to be had until I got it mostly right. I felt like Goldilocks and the Three Chick Hospitals. The first one I tried was tooooo short and chick had immediate friends and no protection. The second one I tried was tooooooo unfriendly. Tom didn't enjoy not being able to see his friends and strenuously voiced his displeasure. The third I tried was just about right - tall sides that were see through from a failed attempt at meal worm farming a number of years ago. Before I remembered I had those plastic containers I thought I'd have to hold it all night so it would shut up. I was going so insane I contemplated taking it to bed with me, but I knew I'd wake up to a squished chick or devious looking kitties.

I'm assuming it's a slipped tendon but I'm not sure what to do to fix it. I've stretched the leg out and played with the joint a little bit, gently of course. The chick can retract the leg no problem but won't put weight on it. This weekend I might try to vet wrap it to straighten it out like we did with the last chick that had a similar issue (my beloved Hoppy).

I have to use AOL dialup when I go visit my mother-in-law. AOL dialup isn't too bad at all. It's not like it used to be years ago. I was initially going to suggest a new modem, however, after reading that the mouse is glitching too, I would suggest making sure all the drivers are up to date, then update all the rest of the programs. Malware is a possibility too. What anti-virus, anti-malware programs are you running? CCleaner is a great program for cleaning the browser, and registry.

SCG, hope you get it back on it's feet, literally. Nice call with the see through box.

Mcfee is the antivirus program.

Ya, sounds like this old rebuilt is not up to date. SLower than my old ancient pc.

Morning all.
Cold, snowy, windy and I'm trying to stall going out to the coop. Oh look! Coffee!!!

BTW-I too am totally happy with my tracfone. My new one has all the touchscreen, bluetooth, wifi, etc. and I have no idea how to use any of it. Guess I need to actually go to town one of these days, sit in the coffee shop and play with the thing.
As for virus software, I am paying my phone company/ISP a monthly for theirs. I know, but it's easier. I use CCcleaner too. Have for many years. Gets the job done.

Ok, stalled long enough. Got to go give the girls breakfast.
