Is your mouse calibrated?
You should do this every few days. More often if you spend a lot of time on computer. I was shocked to see that this works!

To re-calibrate your mouse, click and hold on the Y below. Then drag the Y toward the g. If it doesn't work, you might want to clean your mouse.
You dumb butt. You'll believe anything

I knew that wouldn't calibrate the mouse, but I knew it would do something funny.

25. speaking of mouses
got one today...I thought I was losing my mind the other night. I thought for sure, I saw something dart underneath a chair, while I was posting on DU, but I trumped it up to shadows, my mind was mush, i was tired...

Today, I saw for certain, a mouse zip back under the chair...picked up the chair, mouse took off towards the back of the house...but, a mousetrap and some peanut butter...fixed him up nicely....:)

27. damn those pesky mice!
I all ready got ours...I got two more traps out, just in case...it has been living behind our little food storage shelf unit thingy...lots of mess behind there....I just don't want snakes treading in the house...arrgh, snakes...I have found a couple ring snakes in the house, but that is ALL the snakes I ever want to find in the house....

Living the midwest just opens up a whole new world of pests, and bugs...ah, I miss home!...:) I would rather deal with bears, moose...deer...martins, minks....otters...:)

36. Oh, they will.
Nothing like a cool trick to suck them in and make them think I'm something special.O8) Now if I could find a way to keep them off their IMs and e-mail while I'm lecturing...
