I lost one of my monitors this afternoon. I'm bummed as I now have to have everything opened on top of each other on one screen. What a PITA! It's the older of the two and must be approaching 10 years, so I guess I shouldn't complain, but I hate the idea of having to go spend a hundred bucks on a new monitor right now. I really don't see how folks can work comfortably with only one monitor... I sometimes wish I could have three. Gotta have something to b#tch about right? <sigh>

Glad the new cream is working for you Micro. Pain is a devil of an enemy to fight with. Seems you might could win the battle, the trick is winning the war. Won't go there thanks.

Penny, I hope your new mixer works perfectly for you and out lasts you. Not common with most present day machines, planned obsolescence and all that good manufacturing stuff, but there's always a slim chance.

Good luck with PT Cynthia. If you have a good Therapist, follow the directions given and it can (we hope) make a world of difference.

Cap, I wish I had a fraction of your willpower/energy. Frankly, I don't know how you manage to keep up.

You have to have the right batteries! And i sleep in mornings as well as take lots of breaks.

His left hind leg barely works anymore. He's devised a way of getting around the house by sitting on his left hip and scooting around like a baby does before they learn to walk.

They make scooter like things that would help immensely!

It's supposed to MELLOW them, not turn them into battle cats...

Um, you don't have cats do you @Latestarter! Cats get all weirded out when they start into the catnip.

I really don't see how folks can work comfortably with only one monitor

I couldn't at work because I needed to be able to see two things full screen at once. I currently have 9 virtual desktops on my IMac and know what is on each one. For instance #1 has weather and solar panel tabs in 1 window. #2 has VPR audio feed in one small window, AOL and GMail in a second window. Forums are on #3, etc. Control (number) takes me to the desired virtual desktop.

but I hate the idea of having to go spend a hundred bucks on a new monitor right now.

I have a 17" I'm not using, wonder if it wouldn't be too expensive to ship to TX.

What is a woman to do when she over hears her husband is divorcing her next year?

Oh my. Looks like you need to change that signature. You've gotten good advice.

(And be uber-sweet to him so he hasn't a clue that you're taking actions not to put up with being second best.)

That would likely make him suspicious unless uber-sweet is normal.
