Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

I am 3 out of 4, and love tools! I have climbed poles with spikes as well as ladders, and you really do learn to respect the tool you are working with. My partner gaffed out, 20' up, and the gaff went right into his ankle!
ok what is "gaffed" and do I really want to know?

Oh goody! I'm so glad you got a router & it's all working out for you!! It was pretty easy to hook up, huh?
Good on you impressing the heck out of your hubby! Bet he didn't know you were such a computer nerd!!
I borrowed this from shesays....it makes me think of you, typing away on your new netbook!
It took a little more time than I expected. After I loaded the CD into the PC, I realized that I didn't have enough outlets to fit the size the router required. I had to stop everything, shut everything down and get another gadget to plug the doggone thing into. Nothing ever goes smoothly for me - apparently there was something not plugged in all the way (even though I heard everything 'pop' into place - internet/ethernet plugs). Anyway, all is good in the long run.

I am looking at this one. Has a side puch for charger or mouse! Free shipping also

Oops, forgot the link http://www.nextwarehouse.com/item/?880372_p3g
I looked at that Case Logic case at first, but went with theAmazonBasics [amazon.com] one -- I liked that it didn't have a strap, and the big zipper pulls are nice. Plus I like how the orange interior looks.

but do you get a free compact usb mouse with it?
I already have 2 good wireless mice, so that is not a priority. I am picky about mice, so got that first. May want to go for a case that goes up to 13" for a little more room to carry the dvd drive with it! Still debating.

I love the little mouse, too. Think I'll make a few cross slits in the rubber on the wheel. Doesn't have very good traction. Maybe I should put some studs on it Smilie

Gaff are spikes that you strap on to your legs to climb poles, also used for climbing trees. They have about a 2" long spike at the end to jab into the pole. If you gaff out, it means the spike didn't go all the way into the pole and you fall to the ground and when you land, the spike from one leg can go into your other leg.

Did you already get it? I don't see an extra pocket for charger, mouse, etc. Does it have one?

I love chocolate caramel & pecan turtles. I started making them for the first time this past December. I am tired of paying the high prices at the local candy store. Next Christmas, I'm boxing my own.
