No. its the vibration/movement of your typing. The button isn't activated but the pad is capacitive and interprets the approach of the balls of your thumbs as a rapid strike and simulates pressing the left button. In theory you should be able to remove the driver for the thing. Have to admit I've never actually tried to do so.

I hate the pad. It's horridly imprecise (big fingers) and it keeps doing that cursor relocation in the middle of my paragraphs. If I was a touch typist and watched the screen it wouldn't be as much an issue. I'm not.

On the salary which
You get in the Army now.

You're not behind a plow.
You may have fun,

BR, yes, it is slow but I am grateful. I feel so bad for the people who are still in hotels or living in their cars because FEMA won't come up with the money and the insurance companies are as slow as molasses with the money too. Frustrating.

don't think you'd find much about me online - hang on, let me google myself :) (that sounds dirty)

I'm always being told that I give out too much info and I'm trying hard not to, but you get chatting and sometimes comments just come out and you can't undo the chog!
6:30 pm
welki

oh i know - i have to search for things regularly as part of my work - but travel dates, i think, are okay - for me, anyway, since my house is occupied while i'm gone
6:31 pm
welki

6:31 pm

Nope Liz, you can't undo the chat log. And it's really not a good idea for people to use real names here or to post their email addresses, but it happens.

It's disturbing how many people on Facebook go on and on about their vacations, where they are going and when. It's a thief's dream come true.

6:38 pm
MollyL

People here are very nice and trusting. And that has already been taken advantage of a few times. There is no harm in being careful.
6:39 pm
Lizlin

I agree :)
6:40 pm
welki

true, and as one of those who got bilked, i try to be cautious, but i can't write off humanity because some people are jerks. always risks on the internet - live and learn
6:42 pm
uusue2

Indeed. There are jerks everywhere, it's just that the internet has a larger population than our home neighborhood, so we see more of them. IMHO anyway.
6:42 pm
welki

doesn't feel that way, sue - at least when i'm at work *lol*

Ah, Son of Soodle has once again come home for some poteen...um...I mean to see his dear old Ma.

As Molly would say.... Pulling chair up tp hear about Car's day....
7:12 pm
Soodle

Molly!! I was just quoting you. :-)
7:14 pm
car.eeyore

Nothing to tell right now. Just a very strange "rumor" we are trying to confirm.
7:14 pm
Soodle

Oh my. Sounds ominous....
7:14 pm
car.eeyore

And, it turns out a tree fell at our former house that we are trying to get rid of, but no one bothered to tell us it fell. Did some damage to the neighbors car and roof.
7:15 pm

It's true. Trif really is marrying Jesse Spencer. She just didn't have the heart to tell you.

Son of Soodle got pulled over by Security in Gatwick Airport this evening. Passport was taken, and put through a machine. He asked what it was all about, and was told that the machine was scanning his passport for evidence of explosives!!
7:19 pm
car.eeyore

OMG!!!!
7:19 pm
Soodle

I.e. if he had been handling explosives, traces would have been found on his documents. Needless to say, nothing found.
7:20 pm
car.eeyore

brb...
7:21 pm
Lizlin

That's quite standard practice at many airports now, soodle. We've been checked many times flying in and out of Aus and London and also internal flights here.
7:21 pm
uusue2

me too, especially with my metal knees that set off the detectors - I often get "special" treatment at airports
7:24 pm
Soodle

Of course, these days its only to be expected. And a young Irish man travelling frequently between the UK & Ireland is sure to be of interest to the authorities. But he was a bit freaked by it!
7:25 pm

Son of Soodle normally flies. But this Christmas he came by boat. He stocked up his car with 30+ bottles of poteen (contraband), and he also brought back 25 packs of special Irish wholemeal flour for wives of colleagues who like making Irish brown bread. I said to him, If the Customs lads stop you with 25 packs of fine white powdery substance, not to mention poteen, they will throw away the key. He sailed through. Nobody bothered him!!!!

7:34 pm
Soodle

And what a hunky hunk he is!! Yee Haw!!!
7:34 pm
Minveryork

I usually post an icon clue on Friday. Was too lazy to change it.Can't believe it's Friday already.This week flew by! I am not looking forward going back to work
7:34 pm
uusue2

well, it's sort of me taking him out, bugs, but it will be a lot of fun even if I do have to wear fancy clothes :-)
7:35 pm
Soodle

Thorsten, that is. Not Frank. I'm not hitting on your other half, Sue!!
7:35 pm
MollyL

Soodle, he played the hell out of an Irish poet on the soap operas.
7:35 pm
uusue2

Frank is pretty hunky too, IMHO, soodle, so that's ok :-)

Jillyjill

Hope you had a good week off minv. What did you do?
7:36 pm
Minveryork

All My Children is being relaunched on internet, but I am not going to watch it if I have to pay for it. I will stick to soaps Days of Our Lives and General Hospital
7:36 pm
Bugsaw

but he likes wearing fancy clothes! A man with a moustache like that is not afraid to call attention to himself and he will be proud to have you on his arm. It will do wonders for his spirit
7:37 pm
Soodle

I never saw him before, Molly. Clearly I'm missing out on something. What was he in?
7:37 pm
uusue2

it will indeed, bugs, and we are looking forward to it!
7:37 pm
Jillyjill

Okay, need stats (hopes Molly will make same mistake tonight) for the bottom middle column R please?
7:38 pm
Minveryork

Spent time with my dog of course, played cards with friends and I had some appointments to take care of.
7:38 pm
Bugsaw

I do hope you have fun without tiring him out too badly. He will probably need a couple of days to recover but it will be worth it.
7:38 pm
Soodle

Yay for Frank!! I've seen pics, Sue, and he is a fine looking gentleman.

Soodle, Thorsten Kaye has mainly been on American soaps. He has recently had a small part in an NBC show called SMASH, about broadway musicals.
7:40 pm
Soodle

About it, I've started watching Breaking Bad. I'm totally hooked.
7:40 pm
uusue2

7:41 pm
Soodle

Thanks Molls.
7:41 pm
MollyL

No one here has forgotten about Breaking Bad. Those of us who watch it are anxiously awaiting the final 8 episodes this summer.
7:42 pm
Soodle

What an incredible programme. I'm immersing myself in it. Wonderful.
7:43 pm
MollyL

On a side note, I'm thinking about suing the producers because seeing so much of Bryan Cranston in his underwear has damaged my libido. What a horrible sight.

Yes. I totally agree. Did the poor man never hear of boxer shorts?
7:44 pm
MollyL

And fair warning Soodle. That show gets really dark and twisted.
7:44 pm
Soodle

Jilly Madmen is next on my list.
7:46 pm
MollyL

My current favorite show is Scandal. I love a show that makes me say OH MY GOD at the end of almost every episode.

Soodle

Yikes Molly. My interest is really whetted now. Dark and twisted..... Bring it on!!
7:48 pm
Soodle

Watching the first series of Breaking Bad, I had a bit of a cough. By the end of episode 7, I had self diagnosed carcinoma of the lung.

Technically, is it the breast bone or the chest bone?
8:21 pm
Lizlin

I think I'd probably change mine to breast bone!
8:21 pm

Because everyone has a sternum and men don't have breasts. At least most men do not have breasts.

why process though and not just the zyphoid

2nd re 6/27?
10:47 pm
Dorens

well yes i am a terrific grandma, no question about it. But when Phoebe was born i made it clear to them that i would be visiting every month, and i think that was a bit more than they might have liked, but they've been accomodating in allowing me to share this large portion of their free time (they both work very hard during the week)
10:49 pm
Pinikula

I don't think parents should be considered impositions...I mean, after all, we did a lot for our kids (like let them live in our homes until they were old enough to move out!)
10:49 pm
Pinikula

:)
10:49 pm
MollyL

I would have LOVED to have parents as interested in spending time with my kids as you are.
10:50 pm

bit of a double standard here though, cause i would never have been able to tolerate my mother for an entire weekend once a month

2nd re 7/40?
10:51 pm
Pinikula

there are moments, dorens, but in the long run I think they'll miss the visits they might be complaining about now
10:52 pm
MollyL

Not to mention having someone available to watch the kids whenever they want to get away for the weekend.
10:52 pm

oh they've never complained... i think they've been very gracious about it, and i try very hard to be a good mother-in-law, not step on toes, not question their parenting, etc. But since they lie so far away from me, it's the only way I can be involved. Believe me, I'd much rather have them visit me, drive to them and take a kid out for a few hours, etc and be done with it and sleep in my own bed
10:53 pm

10:58 pm

11:00 pm
Pinikula

...shared my family tree data with a "found cousin" who promptly posted it online as her own!
11:00 pm
Dorens

i'd be fuming too. good luck on the positive tip there
11:00 pm

I'll never forget the time a principal asked me to write up an article about a project I had piloted as a science teacher. THe she cut it up and interjected her name and put my words in quotes as though she had said the words and had it printed in the superintendent's newsletter. (I worked in a very large school district at the time) I was So pissed
