Yes, I got a bit lost at that point, too.

It just goes to show that you're not married. Pfeffer's first law of Marriage says that a wife can discover new chores faster than any husband can complete them.

One of the worst side effects of my wife's strokes is that she now thinks all of my chores are accomplished in zero time. As soon as she asks me to do something, she puts that on the 'completed' list and starts looking for the next thing  .

Dealing with the results of the stroke must be tough for both of you. You have my sympathy.

Yes, and it only gets shorter as you get older.

I guarantee some of that feeling every weekend. Sunday afternoons and evenings are for chilling out and relaxing.

Hi all,
In the office I currently work the table is slightly high... (well I always find tables to be too high).
I'm thinking on buying a footrest, but I'd like to get some advice:
Do you know of any footrest that allows to fix it's height and inclination?
What would recommend me?
Any thought to consider?
Thank you all!

1) Grow longer legs.
2) Cut the table down to size.
3) How would a footrest help?
Have you considered a pile of Microsoft Manuals (on the grounds they must be useful for something, and this might just be it)?

"Linux Unleashed" and "Using Access 2 For Windows" do the trick for me.

I recommend one of these [^] and, as Kornfeld suggested, elevate it with a few MS tomes.

The boss. Though probably not as flexible in its height and inclination as you would like.

I rest my feet on the desk. In fact I rest both legs on the desk.
Feet up, chair reclined, keyboard on lap. It is the most comfortable position to work in.

The North said they will dismantle the test site since testing has been completed. Did the West claim victory too soon or they confused between test and production?

The test site is so contaminated it cannot be used, even by NK, so they magnanimously allow the US talk them into dismantling a totally unusable facility. ARE YOU PEOPLE FARRRKING STUPID.
