Finn's trick is rotating the display 90 degrees. It takes him one pass across the keyboard, but it takes me 5 minutes to remember how to get to the menu that lets me turn it back.

Natter 73: Chuck Norris only wishes he could Natter
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My next-cube-over neighbor stopped by my cube yesterday to let me know that due to wrist issues he dictates to his computer. He thought it was best to let me know, because there are "words" he uses that the computer understands that aren't actually words. He didn't want me to think he was just muttering off in lala land.
Thanks Hil and Dad! I will confirm one more time with HR.
I think being an English major and reading contracts do not go together. The way sentences are written seems so unclear.
My brother is in Egypt for a conference and is, um, taken aback by the driving. Which, knowing my brother, is pretty funny.
Timelies people!
So I swear I heard Hazel puking in the night, but then I couldn't find it this morning. Maybe it was a post-traumatic dream about Homer, brought on by going to the vet yesterday???
Sometimes my cats will get hairball heave spasms but never cough anything out. And then walk off apparently feeling fine. IDK
Phantom puking is a feline talent.
Don't worry - you'll find it someday. Possibly in the worst possible way.
Was so far behind on Natter that I just hit recent- then I went back to Saturday to read the Triple Crown posts.
David - thank you so much for posting Laura Hillendbrand's comment. That was lovely.
(I would have felt worse about Smarty Jones - except that I love Birdstone so much. And I felt so bad that Nick Zito felt he had to apologize for winning the Belmont. Well, Birdstone sired a Derby winner and a Belmont Stakes winner in his first crop and what has Smarty done for us lately?)
The ones I regret the most are Spectacular Bid and Charismatic. Plus - Real Quiet - losing by a nose: rough.
I posted this on facebook but just in case - the Wall Street Journal posted a video comparing American Pharoah and Secretariat's Belmont Stakes. So damn cool.
I know I watched the Triple Crown races in Riva Ridge's year. I was lucky enough to get invited to a neighbor's house to watch Secretariat's Belmont on color tv. So perfect.
Then with Seattle Slew and Affirmed so quickly after that - I thought that's what happened - every year or so there would be a Triple Crown winner. I was so wrong!
But maybe- we'll have a couple more in this decade: wouldn't that rock?
Don't worry - you'll find it someday. Possibly in the worst possible way.
Yeah, that sounds about right.
IJWTS I feel so put together this morning. olive green linen pants, turquoise top, oatmeal shrug, and my usual brown shoes that look like they want to be sandals but are closed toe.Ooh, I should wear earrings!
ETA aha, I have beach looking earrings with wood and shells. Perfect!
