5. My mouse wrist acts up on me too sometimes.
:( You might need to see your doctor about it.

4. I guess you'll have to
learn to operate the mouse with your other hand. :7

13. track ball
you don't move your wrist, you use your fingers to manipulate the ball and move the cursor. Less injury to the hand/wrist.

It takes a little to get used to (just like the natural keyboards), but once you get used to it, you'll never use a mouse again. The trackball stays in place.

:hi:

16. Oh, I get it, merh!
It's rather like a mouse turned upsidedown...the ball is on top, where your fingers can work it...I see what you mean!

VERY clever, IMHO!

35. That thread made me decide that we absolutely, positively
have to get up to your gathering in October. It's clear that hanging around with you is nothing short of a riot.

39. Thank you too much, cuz. You're making the old guy blush here.
Did you get my really, really late reply to your letter?

Recovered from those apple martinis yet?

Are you going up to upstate NY in October?

Enough questions for one night, or do you need more?

41. Old guy. *sniff* so, yes, yes, yes, and yes.
I got and loved your reply, and will reply in turn without half the charm and locquaciousness of yours, I promise you! ;-)

Joani and I recovered after our first round of eggs, sausage, hash browns, crepes and apple martinis Sunday. Thank you, doc.

Upstate in Oct. ? Sounds really good.

Ask me anything. ;-)

43. Ask you anything? How about:
How high is up? I've always wondered about that one.

Man, you guys know how to live. Smother that hangover with breakfast grease and hair of the ol' dog. You're my kind of women, if you don't mind me saying.

You got plenty of charm and locquaciousness your ownself, so don't sell yourself short, kiddo.

If you do make it up to NY in the Fall, I expect you to let me buy you a drink or seven. What's family for if not that? And you could always stop ere on the way up or the way back, though it's a smidge of a detour.

44. When you find out who that "Jim Miller fella" is, clue me in.
I'm lost on that one. But I forget things a lot, so I may have already known. But forgotten.

40. Adorable. I loved the way he just flung his ass around.
But when I threw that calamares en su tinta onto your plate, d'you think it upset him? I'm not entirely blameless, but little tiny suckers on food freak me out a little.

I just mapped out the route staying off of I-81, I-95, I-85. If possible I'm also going to look for the roads which ban commercial traffic.

Are you ready for a ride on 3 wheels

replicates those spasms.

Quite a gadget. You should order one, then get progmom to grant you access to her spasm-sharing site.

on edit: there are two models. You should order the other one.
