    Yeah, nowadays I use PDFs (or google docs) too. I enabled the dictionary only a couple of days ago actually, and I think I'll disable it cos it's getting distracting.

    yeah I tend to agree - I turned it off in mine (i'm actually using apache open office but its very similar) because although it was ocassionally useful, getting in the way outweighed that utility

    TMW the water supply company gives you a refund for something you explicitly told them you are NOT entitled to.

    Now I have to figure out if I need to write to them again, or if I should just leave it be o_O

    TMW you're doing research for your story and end up browsing a tractor forum.

    There's a tractor forum.

    There are several. I used to own several old wheel horse tractors. People get crazy about their tractors.

    It was interesting. :D I was doing research on diamond drills, but somehow I wound up there. So many tractor tips.

    They're super helpful when you're trying to rebuild a tractor from 1969.

    I'll keep that in mind, should I ever try to build a tractor (a level of coolness I can at this point only dream to achieve :ohno:).

    It was fun, but you couldn't pay me enough to play with hydraulics again. It's not something I'm good at. Welding is super fun though ;)

    TMW you really really really want to work on your WIP but you know that if you have time to do that you have time to do other things that really need done. So you turn your back on your WIP and walk away. Again. *sigh:bigfrown:

    TMW you're back in your home town for a few days and almost (but not quite) take the turn for your old apartment instead of the one for where you're staying.

    I'm doing it more often then not lately. We just rearranged the room and the floor is still cluttered (to put it mildly). But options for what to do with the stuff are slim so progress is slow.

    Take EVERYTHING out of the room. And then, when you bring it back, decide where it goes and put it there.

    TMW you twist your ankle stepping on a dog toy, hear a pop in the vicinity of your achilles tendon, and can't put your foot flat without wanting to cry -

    but you're still really proud that you didn't spill your coffee.

    TMW you spend 20 minutes searching the house for the source of the horrible smell .... sort of herbal, sticky like a rotting hemp plant....

    closely followed by TMW you realise its your armpits :eek:
