I realize that this time of year can be very trying to all of us. Remember to bring your toolbox with you where ever you go!
Just today I had to dig in mine in order to not start WW III.
My hubby accidently spilled his coffee on my laptop. At first, there didn't seem to be any damage. However, the computer had a mind of its own and it's not funny.
I had to reach for a few tools when he mentioned to me that he thinks I'm addicted to my computer. He's not a computer person, so he doesn't realize all that I have stored in mine. He doesn't realize that I use it for work, either. So needless to say, I'm a bit upset right now and concerned that my laptop might not be fixable. So when he told me that, I could have let it rip, if you know what I mean. But thank God for my tools. They came in handy today and there is peace in our home as well in my heart.
I'll be off line for about 2 weeks while this laptop is being repaired.
See you then.

Hi Gail, Thanks for this share. I too have had several moments of biting my tongue in the past few days. I would have just loved to state the obvious to my AH about things but then weighed the pros and cons and decided it just isn't worth it. Have a great holiday and looking forward to your return in the new year.
