It is basically an electric field. So things that can conduct electricity moving through that field are detected. And it is a very tiny flat field. So if your finger is almost but not quite touching it might still detect it. And some objects will move it and most will not. I think the newer ones are smart enough that only fingers (skin) really triggers them.
Oh, and you can set it to use taping your finger on it as a ‘click’ or turn that off. Lots of people like that but I don’t so I turn it off in the control panel. Need to get you a nice small mouse, maybe a wireless one, to carry around and use instead.

Well, I just told the other guy I’m done with him, so my wittiness has probably peaked for the day.

Well, I didn’t get paid. At least not yet. Likely it’ll go into the bank sometime overnight and I’ll get the paperwork in the mail tomorrow.

So hopefully tomorrow will be a very good day and I will probably need it since I have to work this evening.

It's too quiet in here. We must have done all of our talking yesterday. I'll leave a night light on in case anyone wanders by later...

How’s your stepdad?

I just got in from work. Monday was so hard that my hands shook all day yesterday and were still shaking this morning and I dropped the bacon bits I was sprinkling on Matthew’s egg taco all over the floor.

Today was much much better. I really believe it’s the nurses I work with. The ones on Monday were hideous. I’ve had bad times with them before.

I hate co-workers that are hard to work with. It’s stupid. What do they think? Life is a Jerry Springer Show?

OMG... want! Want! Wantwantwant! Just something small - a frame for the desk, maybe to set next to the cup that holds my pens. Oh want.

Save the image from Military Motivator, then send it to some photo place to make whatever you want.

He's doing okay. The treatments are wearing him out. The whole process is taking 3 hrs. a day. But he doesn't seem to be having any additional problems from the infection.

We're supposed to go there week after next, and Luke is supposed to spend the weekend with my mom. We think it will be okay, but we haven't make a final decision.
