Want to say Sorry for not being as responsive to posts as I could be. Seems my computer has had a problem and acting up. Computer wizard friend checked it out today. The computer was ok, but the keyboard had wood chips in it. These little chips evidently fell down between the keys and caused some problems. I guess thats what I get for trying to carve some of the great tutorials on the board. I now have a clear plastic cover for the keyboard...

another bad thing is when you wake up and find wood chips in the bed.

Ain't it the truth Bart. even in my socks. No wonder my feet was hurting, I was walking on wood!!!

Tom, My problem is with Cookie crumbs. A dear sweet lady from Durate Ok, gave my little bride the recipe to her Buffallo Cookies she made amd brought to class. Man oh Man, were they fantastic. ok, where am I going with this, The little bride took pity on me and made some. The cookies are a 1/2 inch thick and aboy 10 around and I am eating one now and I bet the compressed air will be used tonight to blow the crumbs out.

I have notice that typing one handedly is terrible as I need it to hold the other cookie.

I get scolded for bringing them in the house also. But I just say what wood chips I don't see any!! But then I get handed the vaccum.

Kenny,
There's your chance to make a million. Invent a cookie holder for people using the computer. If you could just figure a way to get it in your mouth without using your hands, what more could you ask for?

Thanks for the warning on wood chips in the keyboard and I'm surprised that I haven't run into that....yet. I have spilled every kind of beverage and food particle imaginable thus ruining many keyboards so I've gone to those $9.95 Wal-Mart keyboards to minimize my impending next accident. Seems that I have a zillion dollar computer system and a 10 cent keyboard.

As seen in the picture I do a LOT (maybe most) of my carving sitting right at the 'puter and yes, that is a woodburner sitting right beside the keyboard but I most definitely keep it unplugged until needed.

Chips in the keyboard, chips in the truck, chips on the tailgate, chips on the floor. Here a chip there a chip everywhere a chip chip.
The world is my carving area!!
I honestly do try to clean up at least once a month wether it need it or not. When My wife complains, I explained to her that is why they call it chip carving. Also, I remind her that when I am carving I am staying out of trouble. This helps sometimes.

Well Garon, I do have something but it isn't a new invention or even new. However, She does complain about just standing there holding the cookies. Now If I can just get her train to hold a glass of milk and dunk it before she gives me a bite. Oh well, Maybe next year I can train her.
Tom, The little bride bought a hand held recharageable portable vaccum cleaner and my carving area is still a mess.
However, she does not complain alot because her scrapbook room is always in disaray. Paper scrape a lot harder to vaccum up than wood chips.
