Besides, I was a moron, I admit it. I even refused to let them put the Equal in the cup at the shop because I only wanted a certain amount in it. Still, if I wasn’t wearing jeans it woulda hurt like the dickens! (and it would have hurt my dickens). ---

I have a few pairs of old crappy sunglasses that I have had for _years_ scattered around the house. If I get a nice pair…they last about a month. ---

Found this out the expensive way… We’ve found that the really cheap keyboards can tolerate more abuse than the higher priced ergonomic ones. Just a little splash of water and a Microsoft ergonomic is toast. Yes… we’re morons. ---

My seven year old polietly spilled an entire cup of coffee into my wifes keyboard. After draining the coffe out it worked fine for about two days when keys started sticking like crazy. So I pried all the keys up with a butter knife washed them off and cleaned up all the plastic bits under the keys, now it works fine. Only problem is we had to go unplug my keyboard because we couldnt remember where half her keys went. ---

I spilled half a cup of apple juice on my keyboard once. After I wiped it off, it seemed to work all right at first (except for the smell), but within a few hours keys started sticking, and I had to toss it and get a new one. ---
