keeps us civil towards each other.  Oh my gosh is it ever work for us.  We both do our thing out of our home and we NEVER EVER get away from each other.  We have one vehicle (you guessed it, a honkin' diesel truck), we're rural, we have no family or close friends within a 300 mile radius, and we have no reason to leave home except to run errands once a week in the "city" of Bangor, Maine...which if you've ever been there, you know darned well it's not a city by any means.  However, we are bestest friends and have been through a TON together.  Some great time, some not so much.  It's especially hard when we do hit an impasse because we really don't have anyone to talk to or anywhere to "hide out."  We are very fortunate in that we have everything in our lives in common and can even settle our differences through an intense head-to-head game of Warcraft.  Oh yeah, and that really large bottle of wine    

After my first year of typing, I was also feeling eye strain, etc. My brother told me me to go to the eye doctor and get some glasses specifically for computer use. Not just the cheap reading glasses type. This is the best thing I have ever done in regards to being an MT. I cannot remember the price, just told them I spent approx. 8 hours in front of a computer daily and had eye strain, headaches, etc. No fogging, haziness or anything. They never leave my desk either, just sit right by the computer. Try it.

On weekends, midnight.  However, he is not allowed to be gone every night during the week.  It helps that his girlfriend's parents and I are on the same page and when they are together on a school night, they are at her hourse or my house and that makes it easier to enforce the rules.  Plus they do their homework together which is nice.  My son when from failing classes last year to make all As and Bs this year.  So I try to give him a little more freedom because of the effort he's been giving.

gave details on the extent of injuries suffered in the recent chimp attack.  This woman lost both eyelids, nose and lips and both hands in the attack.  They said she may be blind with serious neurologic deficits and is still listed in critical condition.  My heart goes out to her and her family.  Jane also said that some of the hospital staff are actually undergoing counseling after seeing the extent of injuries. 

My husband and I got tired of the kids coming to the kitchen a bunch of times during the day and each time grabbing a new glass to drink from - even after we asked them to pick a spot on the counter to keep their glass at and rinse it out/wash it after every use.  Previously we'd end up with the dishwasher filled on the top level with glasses every day.

I went to Target and found different colored plastic tumblers.  I bought a tumbler for everyone in the household.  At supper time tonight I put all tumblers on the table and told everyone to pick their favorite color.  After this was done they were all told this is now their color to use, and they're solely responsible for their tumbler each day, and are to rinse/wash it as needed throughout the day.  I then went to the cabinets and proceeded to pack up all but 4 glasses we have in the cabinet - and those 4 I've moved to the very top shelf.  They know that if their tumbler is found outside of the kitchen the problem is solved of "who left the glass on the living room table?"  None will be allowed to wonder to bedrooms or they'll lose their tumbler and have nothing to drink from but a small juice glass.  If we have company they can use the 4 glasses on the top shelf.

This should work and we'll no longer have dishpan hands!
