My daughter spilled a cup of water my nice new ergo keyboard.


Posted: Apr 13, 2011

I yelled to my DH "Quick get the blow drier" thinking I would blow it dry.  My DH, AKA Tim the Tool Man, comes in with his hot air gun and said "This is will dry it faster."  Long story short, he melted my caps lock, A, Q, and W keys.  When I plugged it back in, it just continually types WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

Now I'm stuck with a regular keyboard until I can get to Office Depot to buy a new ergo keyboard.

MEN!!!  I can't be mad at him cause he was trying to help and after I cooled off a bit, it is kinda funny, but not really!

Just thought I'd give everyone a laugh.

After you get your new keyboard, maybe you should google "keyboard skin" to protect it. They make them to fit all models - I have a Microsoft Ergo 4000. Keeps out dirt, dog hair, and spills, and you really can't tell it's there.

Too late this time, but did you know you can take the tip of a butter knife or wide screw driver and pop off the keys? If you pop them all off, be sure to line them up so you know where to put them back. They snap right back on. You can practice on your poor drowned keyboard!

LOL - that reminds me of the TV commercial where the - man tells his wife he is going to - sm

hose off the deck, and instead of a hose, brings in some kind of a heavy duty power-washer that annihilates everything in its path, including the outdoor table the wife had just set.

Men!
They love their toys.
And overkill.

Bottled Water Or Tap?Feb 18, 2014
I was wondering, just out of curiosity, why people buy bottled water? I use reusable, washable, green-type containers and tap.  I use as little plastic as possible and recycle.  In areas with bad or contaminate. Water, I get it, but when I go to the stores, I see a lot of folks loading up on bottles of water.  Like I said, just curious.   ...

Chloroform IS Found In Swimming Pool Water.Jul 03, 2011
Check this out. Found it on Wikipedia. Chloroform was discovered by three researchers independently of one another. Chloroform was reported in 1831 by the French chemist Eugène Soubeiran, who prepared it from acetone (2-propanone) as well as ethanol through the action of chlorine bleach powder (calcium hypochlorite). Calcium hypochlorite is a yellow white solid which has a strong smell of chlorine. Calcium hypochlorite is used for the disinfection of drinking water or swi ...

This same dynamic is playing out in most states.

Second, of course, is nasty old government "interference" to encourage agribusiness's transition to proven means of growi ...
