My mouse is not
happy. It is not dead, but some times I would like to shoot it, as it is quite intermittent and jerky as I try to maneuver my icon. One can tell that I am desperate for blogging material when I have to pick on a crippled mouse. Anyway an ad from buy.com came in my e-mail and advertised a mouse and keyboard made by Phillips for $12.99 with free shipping. I made a management decision and ordered it yesterday. It should arrive soon. I don't need another keyboard, but for that price and the chance of eliminating my frustration with my mouse, I couldn't go wrong.
I have been doing things that are really quite routine, and we are leading quite a mundane life. We have gotten back into visiting the swimming pool that last two weeks. Things are all winterized and ready for the bad weather. Clarine got me to put up some Christmas lights yesterday, because the weather was nice and warm. There are still more to put up. Maybe tomorrow. I am not putting any power to them until at least after Thanksgiving. Even then I may be able to hold out for a little longer. The Canadian geese that are staying for the winter did not migrate with the larger groups that took off earlier in the fall. There are some ducks. I don't see the turtles any more. I wonder if they have hibernated in the mud. Perhaps my next blog will be really exciting. What else can I say but, "GO COUGARS!" gwh

I'll bet if you twist of the retainer on the bottom of your mouse and remove the track ball that you will find a buildup of lint on the rollers the track ball glides on. Once you scrape the lint of the rollers with your fingernail and replace the track ball and retainer, your mouse will work almost as good new.
Phillip suggested that to me and I did it, but it is a very honery mouse. gwh
