    hey Linda, the warm fire is going nicely tonight.  We're having a windy night as a cold front moves in, and it's taken down several big branches from the old silver maple out front.  It's good fuel and burns well.  I'll keep you company with a cup of hot spiced cider.  Cheers!

    Linda, cocoa solves a lot of things Smile
    Wishing you the best possible results...will be waiting with you.
    Aoa, badger, that cider sounds awesome.
    We're in a warm-up for a few hours then we get the frigid air that is coming from the west.
    Nite,

    Joan

    The warmth is coming soon to NY.  S of LAKE MI it was in F degrees 1, 2, 3 consecutively at night this week.  Today 17 and by next Tues here will be 47.

What thef  issss F LOCK?  Reminds me ofthet  ime I hit insert bymis take and didnot  know whythe  coputerwas  eating every letter IPLA ced onthe page. crap. to controls.  we'll hold outa  min onthe  keyboard, but almostread y to meltitd  own.bee n going ont wo weeks.

    editdtoe  add below::: testing - edited to add that IWORK  on anat nique thrashing tablewit h one leaf in.  iw ork on an ntiaque thrashing table with one leaf in.  I type on an antique thrashingta ble with one leaf in, so I tried pushing it together as tight asic ould. butn o, was not the uneven surface. 

    But you cansee  it is 'better' because I pulled the keys out and space bar and yes i t was a mess and I thought sometimes you just gotta clean your keyboard, surely thism ess is all it is.  But though it seems better, and I type diligently to be perfect it is not altogether fixed. not atall .  ia m fairly certaint he bashing did not help. But it was doingth us beforethe firstba shing.  Perhaps I type too quickly?  Slowing down did help.  Still we have spared the keyboard from being melted down for another day whilei  ponder. eh.

    Yes, sometimes I just have to clean my keyboard anyway.

    Did you know that if youd rop a piece of chip into keyboard, it does not remian a piece but is basically pulverized?  My old keyboard, it fell through, that is why I asm poiled. How does thist hing get I asm poiled out of I am spoiled? Bcz I thypeth too quicklyf or its little keyboardbra in.  Perhaps I willm elt it after all.c rap.

    Rider that-  was what happened after the surgery, and my right arm was painful AND numb, go figure.  I hope your arm heal asweell, I was really concerned by mine back then.  Don't sleep on that sidei, t makes it worse.  But mine healed after several months.  This is all keyboard.  STOI le the batteries outof  flashlight and itst ill does it. damnit, i havet o go slow or nada.  It's only 17 mo old.  And cost 120$$$  so should have lasted.  I asked Hubbyd, id I bash the keyboard, he said not in front of me and I said well I never bash itar oundwhen you are not home bcz you are the ONLY source of my anger, so it was onlyba shed after it broke to tryto fixi t.  Am goingto getoutt  he one with cordtin hgee.  GUES I will balance checkbook this afternoon, no real work for me. pieceof

    Granny I just realized I came on to toss the keyboard and did not note your distress here.  I am so sorry  ((((Granny)))  going to check on you on the other thread too see how your son is doing now.  The keyboard lives on with brand new batteries, I must have used old old batteries yesterday that used to be in keyboard and I traded off into flashlight then back to keyboard and they were even older, brain is in shreds sometimes.  Hubby says to remember if it starts f'ng up again don't beat it, just get in new batteries.  Like I will remember that.... +_____+

    FYI, Granny's son had brain surgery which did not go well. He is in ICU and now breathing on his own.

    Hi all, snowing here again...but it's the week end so I don't care.  It's warm in the house.

    Granny says her son is out of ICU and even doc is speechless.  She sends her love and thanks for the support.

    Wren thanks for the update on Granny. Feel bad that I missed all that the first time :-(

    Granny so sorry you are faced with such another huge challenge while you already have enough to deal with...Someone must feel you are extremely strong and capable.  Sounds like your son is doing amazingly well tho. My thoughts are with you.

    ((((hugs))))

    Don't quite know what it is I need to throw in...but man I gotta get rid of something....mind is just going overtime and of course the 20mg of dex i got yesterday with my chemo sure doesn't help to slow it down!  Does really make me feel better tho so I guess it's a good trade-off - boy deo I get a lot done for these couple days lol

    I came to throw two things in........now have too think.....oh yeah found one .. The phone call an hour ago asking for DH (he passed in aug 2010), I asked why---some cancer outfit wanting him to send request donation cards to neighbors "May we speak to him". My response 'Well he's in a box in the bedroom". She couldn't get off the phone fast enough.  Second.....still thinking HMMMMM let's just throw in memory foul ups. Burn bright and hot for both
