Chrome can't cut and paste without breaking things

Blog

"Copying and pasting requires the free Google Drive web app. This lets us access your clipboard so you can cut, copy and paste."

Because THE BROWSER can't? I find this stunning, as even Netscape 1.0 had the ability to cut and paste and it worked *just* *fine.*

Here, let me highlight the text I want to copy, oh, and LOOK! Flower-c works! Hey, I copied it!

WHY I selected the secondary mouse key and thought selecting "Copy URL" was a good thing, I have no idea.

Slappa da Head

Add this to the list of "things I probably shouldn't enjoy doing this as much as I enjoy doing this," but, hey, few things beat waking the brother up by slapping him on the forehead rapidly.

Well, unless you're my brother, then maybe a lot of things beat it.

I crack me up.

Waking up at Mom's

Blog

One of my favorite places to wake up is at my mom's house. I wake up to a gentle breeze drifting in from the window over the bed, some birds chirping in the yard, other birds hooting, and the dog walking around the yard with her tags jingling. Sometimes there's the undertone of a plane flying overhead or kids in the next yard over, but more likely the sounds are just nature.

It almost feels like a beach house in Hawaii, without the humidity.

It is a most wonderful place to wake up in. One of my favorites.
