in The Clubhouse
A few days ago while I was in the process of moving furniture around, the wife jumps in and says, let me sweep them dust bunnies for you. So I go to the kitchen to get a cup of coffee and here comes the Misses saying "didn't you lose this little silver thing" months ago?

Yes, I had. Months ago I was tinkering with a RTR and the silver cap fell off this button. I looked and looked everywhere, I just assumed it had went down a register vent or who knows what. But there she had it in her hand. Now it's glued back and put back in it's place as it should be... :)

    No worries man. Next time just do it. I might not be able to do it over the phone but bring it by and let me force it into submission lol...


    Some suggestions

    1. Backup your **** w Windows backup and restore to an external drive!
    2. Download install and run Avast (free) - do a boot time scan and restart the computer
    3. Download install and run malwarebytes (also free)

    Well to put it in terms that would make my wife understand.... Imagine your favorite entire outfit that you love how it all goes together (earings, shoes, dress, scarf, coat, etc) and then take away one shoe, and one earing.

    The outfit still works, but you'd want to get another of that same earring, and shoe because they are your favorites...

    How about it huh.....though I've been on a roll this year so far. There has been at least 4 times where she told me "Your right". I quickly run up to the calendar and mark it down. I'll never hear those words again come out of her mouth.

    Funny to, because when we are having a discussion, and the obvious presents itself, I have to coax it out of her. Go ahead...say it....say it, I want to hear it !! LOL

    There is science behind it, at least according to my wife.
