Hi,
Tip for the day:
Don't cough with coffee in your mouth while sitting at your computer!
Sitting here this morning, with mouth half full of coffee, some of it went down the wrong way.
Uncontrollably, I coughed!
The LCD monitor screen, half the printer, the computer desk, keyboard, small clock on the desk, and my wife's notes (many of them; she never throws away anything), was covered with coffee.
Many paper towels later, and cleaning the LCD monitor screen with a 50-50 mix of water and White Distilled Vinegar with a clean cotton cloth, I am ready to go again. At least, now have a clean monitor screen!

White Distilled Vinegar, full strength, is also good for wiping off windshield wiper blades....clears off all the oxidized material, and they work much better.

Hope you day starts off much better than mine!
Have a good one.

Hey, DJ,
You're welcome. Hope I don't do this again any time soon!

Glad you got your breath back and a clean workplace to boot.

What I do when at the PC, is use a straw in my drink - my monitor and keyboard are safe, but my lap sometimes catches hell.

Larry, my cat, complains sometimes as he's always in my lap - he gets wiped with luke-warm water on a microfiber cloth. He's for sure the cleanest and coolest cat in town.

Hmmmm, not sure I could do hot coffee through a straw, too wierd :eek: somehow! But Bill and Bob (in my avatar) give a feline shout out to Larry here!

And Fred, at least you didn't fight it and give all your nasal passages a coffee enema, ouch! :rolleyes:
