A handy hint for married life. Don't try to understand them. You'll give yourself grey hairs!

The same goes in reverse, if I may say


BTW, why is it when there is a mechanical issue of some sort, it doesn't matter what time of day or night, at least four males will appear, fold their arms in front of their chest, chins lowered, circle the device and stare at the thing with an occasional point/nod/grunt? I find it fascinating, really. I have actually considered applying for a grant to do a study....

They're practicing for every guy's hopeful job... field work for a city, where you get to stand around for HOURS and watch the new guy dig.

*sigh* Things are really tight here. I will need to live vicariously through everyones purchases for awhile.
If anyone can suggest a good but inexpensive monitor or has a used one they want to sell I really need to get one. Even with brightness cranked up all the way my monitor is too dark to see the fingers in the picture with the ring posted earlier.

Somebody recently said they were selling a monitor. I wonder if it was the chief...hmmm....

edit: wait, that was a laptop

I am liking it I haven't had a chance to look closely yet at the mt. men stuff, or the hike to the estuary on Sunday, but it handles well
Thank you again for letting me play with it! I plan on using it tonight at the fair, too
