Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just had a really close call with my computer! Like a jackass, I spilled a little soup on the touchpad area, and I was pretty sure I kept it from getting in any of the crevises, but then the touchpad wasn't working! I restarted, and it seems to be OK now, if a little sticky, but that must be because of leftover shmutz, right?

Sticky in response, or sticky to the touch? Either way, leftover shmutz. Maybe wipe again with a bit of alcohol.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Mac talked about stuff with the therapist. TALKED! It probably wasn't much, but we are trying to push him into doing more with the therapy and this shows good progress.

Sticky in response. Alcohol -- thanks! I was scared to clean it too much with water. That will also clean remaining schmutz off my fingers, which may also be a factor -- of course I had to post here before washing my hands....

When universal health care kicks in, where are we going to get enough doctors to treat them all?"
OK one difference between us and the UK in 1948 is the huge time sink handling insurance company bullshit is for doctors. Get single payer health care or something that saves a comparable amount of red tape, and the admin time saved can make up for the increase number of patients.

Crap, now the buttons are sporadically acting up -- not responding or sticking down. And the pointer is flying around some on its own. I realize I should be doing this in Tech, but is there anything I can do about this?

Since my secret identity is "Keyboard Killer," I don't have much to offer, except that all you can do is let it dry and that does often work. From my own experience, I can tell you that using a hairdryer can help, unless you let it get too hot (How I killed one keyboard). You can use rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip to clean and dry it out, unless you start congratulating yourself for saving the keyboard and then hit the alcohol bottle with your elbow and drench the keyboard. (Another one bites the dust.) It is easy to pop the keys to clean under them, except that I have broken bits of keys doing that. I've also fixed keyboards doing that.
The moral of this story: Don't let me near your keyboard.

President Obama is just so happy! And comfortable! In all the photos, you get the feeling he's pretty unselfconscious, and wouldn't care if you caught him making a goofy face.
