Hehe aww he was only helping Laughing

Jenny presses the same button every time she comes near my laptop.. the 'back' button so that when I'm using my browser, it goes to the previous page Neutral

Oh & she loves caps lock.. but that's less annoying!

finn hits the back button a lot too and he'll send me back like 10 pages. he also pushes some buttons that make whatever i'm looking at open in a separate window.

ok, so it's just this website that is larger than normal. hmm...

i'll just have him come over and mash more keys and maybe he'll fix it.

this is a semi-bad one, but i'll share... he used to come over and unplug the cord from the back all the time. where would he stick the plug? in his mouth, of course! well, i never really thought anything of it and would let him do it, until one time i noticed he kept licking his lips and making a funny face. so i took the cord from him and i licked it... he was getting mini-shocks! i was letting my baby electrocute himself! i'm such a dolt sometimes.

there's no percentage anywhere on my screen. i use firefox, i don't know if that matters.

it's all fixed though. i restarted it a couple times and it didn't help, then i left it off for a bit while finn had lunch and when i turned it back on it was fixed. weird.

just when i was starting to like it...

ooh i love love love firefox! Jules is right... hold down control, then use the scroll button on the mouse.. that makes it bigger/smaller.

Chu actually tries to type like he sees me doing. He puts both hands on the keys and wiggles his fingers around and stares straight at the screen like he's really doing something... Funny kid.
