Ok, ok, nor old... Um... finely aged? Vintage? Gently used? With a sheen of fine patina? (I'm a writer - I can keep going for a while... )

Aged, Ancient, Decrepit, elderly, mature, venerable, fossil, senior, along in years, enfeebled, getting on, gray-hair, infirm, not young, olden, oldish, over the hill, past one’s prime, superannuated.....I have a thesaurus...and I'm NOT afraid to use it either

Well, the youngest...the Violinist, Violist, Pianist, started playing the Hulusi last night....and now Mrs Wu tells me that she also wants to start playing the Cello...which I am told was her second choice after being told no to starting the trombone

The Hulusi

Looks like my main monitor (an old 24", for my 13" notebook) has finally given up. It just flashes when I turn it on now.

the electronic version of the one finger salute?

Not quite as purposeful, I think. More the electronic version of me standing up too fast: it goes right back down.

Have you tried powering it off, unplugging it from the monitor and the wall. wait 3 minutes, plug it back in and power it on.

Yeah. It sometimes (unpredictably) helps. Sometimes it doesn't. I'm guessing something like a capacitor has bitten the dust, as it seems to be repeating the first 1-2 seconds of the power-up sequence (I'm assuming there's a POST involved). For a while, just taking away the signal (disconnecting or even just changing Windows settings so it's not sent signal) would reset it and when signal was restored it'd work fine. That stopped working reliably after a few days, and my last attempt to use it, nothing seemed to help.

Sounds like new monitor time

crawled around the floor in search of a bottle cap I had dropped.
Found the back to my cell phone I had found in pieces a few weeks back. It was a good 3 to 4 feet from where I found the body and the battery.
And of course, my guys had already bought me a new one. (it's not activated yet though)

I did suspect the dogs of chewing it up tho
For once they were little angels.
