The thing is....if we weren't so weird you wouldn't love us so much. :-) Last night I scoot over to our local Barnes and Noble super store. I search and search for the Parents or Womans section of the magazines. I haven't a clue where they keep them since I normally only peruse the Politics or computer section. Some preppy looking lady gives me a strange look as I push a Seventeen magazines out of the way to look for Mom's on Moms. Lady's world, Ladies Jounal, Parents, Yuck! After a few minutes I give up, figuring it wasn't available yet. In a last ditch effort as I'm checking out with my quality engineer book in hand. I ask the 17 something year old checkout girl if the store has a list of which magazines they keep. She says no, but she would be glad to look for me.. What's the name? Ahhhhh Moms on Moms I stammer out. A couple of lumber jack looking guys snicker behind me. At least I'm thinking this and then I mutter....A ahhh A friend of mine is a writer and I would like to read her article. We both look but to no avail. Mom's on Mom's has not reached the Northwest yet! She said she would call me when it comes in. My wife will not be happy. :-) Oh, the sacrifices I make for my cyber bud.. :-) Michael p.s. By the way, what kind of a new magazine in today's day and age doesn't have a web site first? Or have my incredible search engines lost their powers?

penni, It is true that one can perhaps keep things too clean and sanitary. Fanatically tidy people never build up immunities to anything and are constantly pale and drippy and generally miserable with some sort of ailment. I, on the other hand, believe dust to be the finest of fine furniture preservatives. For the record, I am disgustingly healthy and almost never ill with anything. Now, back to the subject of your ailing keyboard: It's the period that refuses to type, you say? Well, one solution would be to recast your sentences to such complexity that fewer periods will be required. In those now rare instances for which a period and nothing but a period will do, type a colon or a comma. To save time, take care to remember their placements in said document. Print the document. After printing the document, go back through it and locate the commas and/or colons which you wish to turn into periods. Attack these errant punctuation symbols with White-Out or a very sharp razor, meticulously removing everything that prevents them from appearing to be a period. Presto! In the words of the esteemed Rube Goldberg, "What could be simpler?" Holly
