Don't get me started! :O)
Okay, Let me do my geek check. . .
The monitor in front of me has one window with FR's Latest Posts, one window with the current thread, my Notifier, a window with our Chapter forum and my email.
Above and to my right is the external monitor for the laptop with the current conditions and Doppler radar. It runs the webcam sometimes, too.
Across the room is the computer running Opera set to auto-reload our Chapter forum so I can glance and check for new posts. It is checking email, too (my junk accounts)
Fox News is muted on the TV and the radio has local talk host Pat Gray.
Whadda mean get a life? THIS is life!
Nah ! When I'm NOT on a roll, I need to quit while I'm still behind! :O)
And that's hard to do at work! :O)
Do you have your coffe there too?
Considering I drive for work, yes, VERY difficult! (There's no place like home)
Wife-Subduing Air Raid Siren Confiscated

BERLIN (Reuters) - A 73-year-old man who used an air raid siren to stun his wife into submission has had it confiscated by German police.
"My wife never lets me get a word in edgeways," the man identified as Vladimir R. told Mannheim police. "So I crank up the siren and let it rip for a few minutes. It works every time. Afterwards, it's real quiet again."
A police spokesman said neighbors had complained at the noise from the 220-volt rooftop device, believed to be an old-fashioned air raid siren.
Rosina, Vladimir's wife of 32 years, said she sometimes had to yell to get his attention. "My husband is a stubborn mule so I have to get loud."
Da**it to he** Ethel...I saaaaaid shud up already!
Yeah, but I have to step away from the computer(s) to get it.
Can't have everything!
:O)
