My tummy hurts, so I can't sleep. why are you awake?

[snoochie]

i give up trying to type capital letters. this thing's busted.

[HEyHEY]

1. meh

[snoochie]

5. is that like insomnia/

i used to have that problem.

[HEyHEY]

11. Nah..just don't feel like bed

Gonna hit it soon

[snoochie]

15. up all night by the boomtown rats just started in my head.

i don't know why.

sleep well, and have a pleasant tomorrow. :)

2. Is your keyboard sticking?

Look for crumbs under the keys. That's usually why my keys stick. Sorry you aren't feeling well.

[snoochie]

3. i tried the airspray thing already.

i think someone may have spilled something on it. the spacebar is also not cooperating.

thanks... it's my fault, drank a soda late and woke up regretting it.

[DainBramaged]

6. New keyboard at Target, made by GE, eight bucks.

[snoochie]

7. that's insane.

i wonder how much the people who work at that factory make.

:grr:

dammit now i want a drink.

[DainBramaged]

24. NO-name keyboards at computer shows only $5.00

Machines make them, people don't.

[snoochie]

26. oh. i wonder how long before most jobs are done by machines.

that's a lovely thought to go back to bed with.

[DainBramaged]

29. Your innocence is wonderfully refreshing

But automation has eliminated more jobs than I care to think about. Did you know that robots paint new cars and not people? Or that the icon of personal freedom, the iPod, is only touched by human hands for final testing and packaging? Humans could never be precise enough to assemble that new organ attached to most folks heads (the cell phone) or even your toaster never gets a human fingerprint on it during manufacture.

Cheaper, smaller and better, impossible if left to the 'human touch'. Even the bullets the * war machine uses are manufactured by machines. As is every piece of candy you eat.

Dylan was right. And so was Orwell.

4. Anxiety over the * fraudinaugral.

8. See thread entitled: "I am drunk on Pinot Noir"

[snoochie]

9. i'm getting there

thinking about having a glass myself, actually. not pinot noir - carmenere.

[Seabiscuit]

10. Never heard of "carmenere". Where's it from?

Sounds French, but I know French wines pretty well and never heard of it.

[snoochie]

14. chile

if you like dark reds you might like it.

[Seabiscuit]

18. I like Chilean wines, but just never heard of it.

Also like Peruvian wines.

And a Peruvian specialty: "Pisco Sour"

[snoochie]

19. haven't tried peruvian wines yet.

interesting name, i'll check that out.

[Seabiscuit]

20. Well, they come from a county named Peru, just north of Chile. :)

I married a woman born in Lima, Peru, and her vast extended family still lives there. We were married there and and have visited over the years. Honeymooned in Cusco and Machu Pichu.

[snoochie]

21. haha!

:P
i meant the sour part, silly.

[Seabiscuit]

30. The sour part of Pisco Sour is mostly lemon with whipped egg whites.

The Pisco part is a strong liquor made in Pisco, Peru.

Sorry - I can't seem to post on DU without being silly. Must be some weird political virus that's spreading. :)

[B Calm]

12. I worked the midnight shift last night..

[snoochie]

16. do you work late all the time or just once in a while.

changing back and forth would drive me mad.

[rainbow4321]

13. I work the night shift and it's my night off....

[snoochie]

17. my sister used to work night shift.
