My husband just came to the door Of our computer "shed", "Haven't you been here long enough"? "Are you coming in ?", he said. "I've only been here for an hour!" I said "wide opened eyed". Then saw the clock above my head And realized I'd lied. I cannot blame the internet Or Forums such as this. Although I feel I must stay here, For fear of what I'll miss. The air was thick with his distain. My guilt was even thicker. I know now that I'll have to learn To read and type much quicker. |

So glad you posted this, because Rosemary's comment only verifies that I should get another computer so my hubby cannot complain about "not getting to use it" himself... Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |
