*Ah, shoot, I can play, but I can't win......Not fair, not fair......Hey, tonight, I'm listening to the Beatles......Watch out.......Norwegian Wood........
*Wolvie, I've been thinking about that mouse pad idea. I'm not sure mine is dirty. If it is, I'd have to beat my wife. I think it's just old. I have to press down hard. I think it's time to buy a new mouse, attached to a new computer, attached to a new cable internet feed! You can scratch me off the toilet seat paranoia list. I finally plantd my cheeks on one of those orange thrones. It wasn't bad. At first I felt a very strong compulsion to run out into the street, but I forced myself to "sit it out". It helped that the cleaing truck had just left and everything was sanitized and smelling like roses. I still worried about the splash possibility. Finally, I decided that I like it and will probably start taking a newspaper and cigar into the little poop palace. Big journeys start with one small step. I'm feeling quite proud of myself today. I'm getting creeped out...gotta go shower!blue
*LOL, blue - you are a treat!
*>I think it's just old. I have to press down hard. I think it's time to buy a new mouse, attached to a new computer, attached to a new cable internet feed! Get an optical mouse--new Macs have em. No roller balls. No moving parts. Easy to sanitize. Just a beam of infrared light. Of course, if UV can be used to sanitize stuff, and IR's at the other end of the spectrum, does that mean IR can transport germs? Gotta think about that one...
*Can't trust UV rays. They can penetrate into your skin and injest spores....blue
*...might have to wear a tin foil glove.
*Yeah, it'll help keep out the spiders too.They're everywhereeVeRyWhErEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
*Owch !!!Sorry 'bout dat, Pi. Quicktime killed my browser, and I have been unable to get a browser going until now.I didn't mean to insult you. I was not thinking of you when I made the crack about mathmagicians. I was thinking of a guy. Now what would a guy mathmagician have to 'work out' with a pencil, because he didn't have tweezers to do the job with ?; )
*Blue,Make a deal with the Post Office.I hear they are getting some neat new machines that will irradiate and kill nasties. A daily walk-thru ought to keep you germ free.How about developing a personal model? Think of the market potential. Mounted at your front door it makes sure that neither you nor your guests are ever plagued again by harmful airborne spores and germs.
*James Du HamelSexiest shower partner, from a cat's point of view.
*I wasn't insulted.....It was just my poor attempt at humor....I wasn't exactly thinking of tweezers......
*Aha ! I get it !!Female mathmagician humor. As in, what other purpose can a pencil be put to...b : )One part I don't quite understand, though. Woudn't it take a small bundle of pencils ?; )
*Depends.......
*You wear diapers ???Now I know why Jim called you stinky.
*Not yet.......Man, every time I sneeze is an adventure......Luka, put on your dirty ol man glasses and read between the lines......
*How you do that?
*Yeah, that was very luka-cool...How DID you do that?
*With paint shop pro.Screen capture. Then I add the text.b : )I'm good at other stuff too.; )
*Hey, we have Paint Shop Pro, husband uses it all the time.....I've never even thought about using it.....I know you're good at other stuff........Ooops, better leave that one alone.....Have a good day, Luka......
