Nebbermind. Figured it out. It's the Page Up Document Holder: [link] I need one or five.

They say *some* is ok, but try to limit it.

My OB said I could have the equivalent of two cups of coffee a day, and made a point to say, "I said cups, not mugs." I probably limited it to two mugs a day.

When I was pregnant with Ben, they weren't worried about people drinking diet sodas, but when it came to a choice between coffee and Diet Coke (which I'd been drinking since it was introduced to the market, and long before I fell for coffee), it was no contest.

Once I stopped drinking Diet Coke, I found I didn't miss it or any soda, at all. I never really went back to it. Poor Diet Coke. I probably should have sent it a Dear John letter. I imagine it sitting there, thinking:

How did this happen. I thought we had the Real ThingTM or as good as it gets with aspartame. For sixteen years, we were perfectly content to be together. We didn't need anyone or anything else. She wanted me at breakfast. She wanted me at lunch. She wanted me at supper. She was unquenchable. And then BOOM! Gone. No. No. Don't touch my cap. I'm still all shook up. I might explode.

If you feel like crap, you feel like crap.

I can't picture this circular thing, vw. Does it sit on your desk, attach to the monitor? (eta: Oh, those. Okay)

I always liked Tab better than Diet Coke, but I think they've gone and sweetened Tab up. Alas.

I just tried the Diet Coke with Splenda last night and I about choked on it. It tastes too much like regular coke (sugary and gritty). I like the regular stuff.

Does it sit on your desk, attach to the monitor?

It sits on the desk. Did you see the link I posted? I found it here: [link] (or this is a different link, but same thing)

Those Page Up thingies are wondrous. I have one here at work and two at home. The little ones are a bit too little and really do need the velcro stuck to a place on the desk, but the big ones are perfect.

Yeah, I got it pictured now, vw. And I think I've had them and didn't know what they were for...or didn't use them, anyway.

I really like Diet Coke with Splenda. I only tried it once, but I thought it was really good.

I really need one for work, and would love a couple for home too. I just have a hard time looking down while I type.

I just have a hard time looking down while I type.

Oh, me too. I got in the habit of typing with one hand and holding up what I was typing from with the other when I was in grad school the first time. I have this giant page holder attached to my monitor at work, now. one of those Page Up things would work well at home, though...

Oh . . . my god.

Just rechecked Billy Idol's site. Saw Salt Lake City on July 16, remembered he's doing the Vans Warped Tour.

I don't want to see the whole tour, blah, 95% of those bands mean nothing to me.

But . . . I am now the soon-to-be-proud owner of a ticket to the Warped Tour. Oh, god. I'm going to see Billy Idol. I have no idea if I'm going to be able to get close enough to even shriek Hi at him or to try for an autograph, but--I'm going to see Billy Idol.

Flogging Molly's in the show, too! Bonus!
