I'm amazed that Thom didn't take a hit from one of the hailstones that crashed through his roof a few nights back.

Truth be spoken here. What would be worse? The biological father had a divorce, kept Susan but gave up Diane, remarried, and later left Susan with his second wife. This sounds like the kind of spin that Dan would put on the story.

With a tiny little steering wheel.

In this case, paranoia speaks the truth. I have a 5-user license for G. DATA Antivirus and will be purchasing another license of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. That pair has kept my network clean for years.

After a TON of searching, configurating, calling, increasing my budget, and pleading for help (thank you!), I've settled on a Gigabyte P55WV5-SL1 from XOTIC PC. They're the only ones I could find with a good reputation who customize Gigabyte laptops. A close cousin to this Gigabyte got decent reviews, so I'm going with it and future-proofing the living hell out of it. Here's the major part of the config: 15.6" FHD (16:9) Anti-Glare Matte-Type Screen (1920x1080) 6th Generation Intel® Skylake™ i7-6700HQ (2.6GHz - 3.5GHz, 6MB Intel® Smart Cache) Processor NVIDIA® GeForce™ GTX 970M (3.0GB) GDDR5 PCI-Express DX11 (Maxwell) w/ Optimus™ Technology 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 2133MHz Dual Channel Memory 512GB Samsung 950 Pro M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD (Read 2500MB/s - Write 1500MB/s 110K IOPS) 8x Super Multi DVDRW/CDRW Combo Drive (with a caddy that you can swap to change the drive to another SATA drive) Microsoft Windows 10 Home - 64-Bit Clean Windows Installation (Install drivers only - no bloatwares [sic]) Windows 10 DVD manufacturer factory backup recovery Total cost is estimated at $1,665.49. It's basically a second desktop, and with the way I've got it configured, it should be a long time before any part of it becomes obsolete to the point of requiring replacement. (I am, however, going to pull the 500GB Mushkin SSD out of my current system and put it in the new one ASAP.) Call it overkill, but it won't be overkill a few years from now, IMHO. I haven't hit the "Order" button yet. Any thoughts or suggestions before I do?

Pepper pot

I've been learning some of the more esoteric functions available within Cakewalk SONAR Platinum. It's quite a program.

I think these might win. They should call them Mocha M&Ms, though—that way, they'd be MM&Ms.

I do believe he is.
