My monitor

is dying. It's at half-brightness and is blinking constantly. It hurts my eyes. And my brain.

I think my participation here will be limited until I get this fixed. I'm finding it impossible to get a coherent thought together.

What brought all that on? It was sudden? Any other little things that might be adding to it?

Dunno. It was starting to blink a bit just before I left, but was nothing I couldn't ignore. Now that I'm back, it's in its full-on seizure-inducing death throes. Good thing I'm not epileptic.

It seems to be physically damaged. I wonder if my daughter is to blame; she's always jabbing her finger into the screen even though we holler at her not to.

Is it a flat screen? I keep forgetting about those. I still use the old "tube" type of monitor. If it is, then that's probably what happened. You can't touch those screens without damage occurring later on.

Yeah, it's a flat screen.

Well, it looks like you'll be buying another monitor before too long.

I have a backup I haven't hooked up yet, but it's about the size of a toaster, so...yeah, I will be.

My microwave also died while I was gone.

Good thing your place didn't burn down. Then you'd be pissed.

The monitor problem actually fixed itself (almost) for a few days, now it's back with a vengeance.

My eyes are bleeding!

Time to shoot it and put it out of it's misery.
