ms 3500 mouse batteries

Listed batteries I've used for this MS wireless 3500 so far. Conditions: *mouse uses one AA *usage = 6-8 hrs/day, everyday *choices were down to what's available at grocery stores close to our house *all are alkaline # Eveready {black and red} - terrible {lasts less than 1 week} # Eveready Gold - bad {lasts 3-4 weeks} # Energizer Advanced - inconsistent {lasts between 1 week and 3 months} Using Energizer Max now {cheaper than Energizer Advanced so I guess Max will have a shorter life on the MS 3500} but had no choice, the store doesn't have anything else. The mouse originally came with a Duracell - that one lasted 6 months. Need to get a Duracell but will have to get that at a hardware store at the town plaza.

paksiw, rogue laptop

Breakfast was good. No, it was better than good! Was so full. What did we have? Fried left-over fish paksiw, tocino, tomato+salted egg. Spent 4 hours on a laptop tonight - the same laptop that crashes the router when someone in particular uses it to surf. As expected, s**t was in one of the browsers {IE, yeah}. So I did what I could: updated, scanned, added an extra layer of protection and left a note not to use IE anymore. I should've added another note not to surf s**t anymore - but they'll just forget; after repeated infections on several machines over the years and needing to reformat them after because the damage was so bad, you'd think the lesson would stick. Maybe they don't care. But hoping it's sorted, for now, at least.

sewed me a pair

... of shorts. Was in a sewing frenzy. Sewed myself a pair of shorts using satin from a very old {dated, mid-'90s} cocktail dress, by hand. The finished product is not a total bust for my first try. Lucky that we found a length of garter in the sewing kit, that got me going. For some reason the fabric smelled weird {like rust} after it was washed. Anyway, after wearing it twice and making adjustments, I think it's fitting and looking nice. It's red too - just in time for Christmas.
