Gris, I still cannot get over your bidet purchase. I just don't know.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
A few of our British homes had bidets. I couldn't work out without looking what Gris could buy for $30. I think my mother finally had the one in her bathroom in Jamaica replaced by something more useful, so now she has a jacuzzi and a shower stall.

I would love a bidet. They had tem in all the hotel rooms in Italy, and I was a big fan.

We had a bidet in our villa in Saudi Arabia. Most people used it as an ashtray when they were doing their business.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
There is a "blowing smoke up your ass" joke to be made there.
So, a kid (I won't name name because I'm related and trying not to want to strangle him in the future) doused me and the MacBook Pro with water the other day. Mostly the laptop survived. But a few keys aren't working and so, yay, repair.
Any ballparks on what I am looking at? Am I replacing the whole keyboard? Can they replace the two clumps of keys that don't work? The nearest Genius Bar is not actually near at all so I'd like to walk in with some idea if possible.
I've got a USB keyboard plugged in currently but it's not a long-term solution.

Well that is less than a new laptop. And hopefully my sister picks up the tab. Thanks, le n.
Time to see when I can make an appt.
People, appreciate your t and r keys while you have them. Among others.

have you installed Smart Reporter 3? I think it would be a good idea. It gives you an early warning system for when your motherboard, etc. starts failing. It told me about my motherboard failing before it went kaput.

Just grabbed a trial version to, well, try. Thanks! An early warning would have been nice when the last laptop suddenly lost its motherboard.
Laptop goes in Friday afternoon. Hopefully there is a quick, "This is how much money we want and this is when we will give you your computer back."
