  1. Instead of strumming, should you wipe?
  2. I got mine on sale for $12 - LOVE IT!
  3. I use this daily and on hundreds of computers. The free version is all you need. You can thank me later. Just do yourselves a favor and uncheck all boxes before you install, then go to settings and turn off all the checkboxes there too. Glary Utilities The 1-Click Maintenance is where you want to start (I check everything except the trails). Then, under the Advanced tab, you'll find a way to turn off things during boot-up that you don't need and you can delay things from starting right away to get up and running faster (any file-sync, like Google Drive, One Drive or Dropbox, is a good candidate for a delay). For spinner drives (i.e., non-SSD) you can defrag from here, and you can even defrag your registry if you've been using your computer for a long time. I've NEVER had an issue with their software!
  4. I can think of some singers that should be masked... and, preferably, duct-taped.
  5. Random interviewer: "So, do you wear boxers or briefs?" Average forum member here: "Depends."
  6. Was that being played a little quicker than normal? I think they were Russian... ( ?)
  7. Wow, the whole dang stupid movie is up on YouBoob!
  8. Anybody else ever see Saturday the 14th?
  9. There Goes Concorde Again -> There Goes Tokyo!
  10. The real question is if he got the bike to go with it! ?
  11. You didn't watch that video for Beck, didya? ?
  12. Not true! You've been known to be very corny! ? (Hmm... Ya, that must have been what he meant, he doesn't seem thorny...)
  13. I hear the Unicorn is made for single horn sounds. No? ?
  14. Exactly the kind of dark path I didn't want to go down! Ouch indeed!
  15. I just performed about 45 minutes of oral surgery on myself! ? Late last week I bit down on something that must have had a little bit of bone in it (probably chicken). A sliver of bone, which turned out to be about 3/16" long, embedded itself into my gum between the only crown I have and the tooth next to it (the crown is the farthest back on my upper right side). It didn't take long to realize that this thing wasn't going anywhere without some serious persuasion! After giving it a few days to reduce the initial eye-watering pain and swelling, I tried a few basic attempts which all failed miserably. Since I don't have a dental plan, I've been worrying about what to do until, tonight, I just decided to do something about it! Now, splinters in your view-able body are bad enough, but trying to use two mirrors (a small bathroom one, cocked to see up into my mouth, which then projected onto the main bathroom mirror), a hand-held light and various all-too-sharp objects (toothpicks were a joke so I ended up trying a dental pick and, finally, some really-sharp, medical-grade tweezers). As if the thought of putting sharp metal into my already tender gum wasn't bad enough, try doing it upside-down and backwards! What's worse, even when I FINALLY maneuvered everything perfectly and was able to grab the splinter, it wouldn't budge! It took several (successfully grabbing the splinter) attempts before I was able to grip it with both hands and pull down HARD, like I was yanking out a tooth, before it came out. Ten minutes later after spitting blood, rinsing with warm salt water (then ice water and mouthwash), I washed and look at the splinter. I can't believe it was that long! That's one operation I definitely don't want to have to do again! ?
