Gear Grinding Part 5: The Story of the Broken Tooth
I did an online search for insurance quotes today from those multiple quote sites - home and auto, and my current coverage is the cheapest available out there. It irritates me because I really dislike my agent. I'm talking BADger hockey, 1-1-3 system dislike here. Maybe my insurance company can assign someone new.

Or they are going slow until I get next to them, then they speed up so I can't get in front of them.Originally posted by FreshFish View PostComment

Getting an email that says (favorite band) is coming to my area, and after reading said email, finding out that the concert's in another state. Last I checked, Muskegon and Milwaukee were separated by Lake Michigan...Facebook: bcowles920 Instagram: missthundercat01

I like when people pass on the right and then get caught up in slower traffic in that lane and fall you behind you.Originally posted by goldy_331 View PosttUMD Hockey

The refusal of Board to add some sort of screening process for signing up, leading to the plethora of spambots and their threads is grinding my gears.

Re: Gear Grinding Part 5: The Story of the Broken Tooth
Recently purchased a new notebook computer for a technologically-illiterate family member.
Her biggest complaint? the *$%&@! touchpad. Drives her nuts.*
Turns out she's not alone.
From Wall St. Journal tech blogger:
I said goodbye to my mouse last month. It was time to advance, I thought, to a higher plane of input, a trackpad that works like a tablet's screen. Instead of point and click, I'd swipe and flick.
A few weeks in, I was missing my mouse. Moving a folder across a 27-inch iMac screen with the trackpad was like lugging a grand piano across the Sahara—I had to keep taking breaks along the way, as I ran out of pad.
This can't be progress. Determined, I rustled up a dozen of the latest input devices......
What I discovered: Thirty years after the Macintosh took the mouse mainstream, I couldn't find anything more precise or comfortable for operating a computer. More important, I found the mouse has managed to reinvent itself over the years.
* I can't use a touchpad either, but for a different reason.....I'm one of those that tends to tap my fingers while I'm thinking...."Hope is a good thing; maybe the best of things."

Re: Gear Grinding Part 5: The Story of the Broken Tooth
I *ing hate touchpads. I hate touch screens too, for the same reason as I hate touchpads: they are not exact enough. I still use my mouse on my laptop whenever possible.Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.
