Keyboards, don't drop them!

I got a cat. Wanna imagine how it looked when I removed my keys for cleaning?
-
I had two long haired St.Bernhards for a few years. For at least three or four years after I lost them, I found balls of hairs under cabinets and carpets and behind bookshelves. So I would believe whatever you tell!
I didn't find balls, I found interwoven carpets. If it weren't for my allergy (which I got after my cats, life still writes the best stories), it wouldn't taken too much to use those carpets for something. Hey, some people pay heaps for real fur beds, I could have gotten mine for free'ish.

I used to brush my dogs regularly - both because the dogs loved the scratching from the rake, and to reduce the shedding. When we got the dogs, I had a daugther that truly loved them, and her dream was to have a knitted sweater made from their "wool". So we collected whatever we brushed off, in these 125 liter plastic bags commonly used in thrash cans. When the dogs died (at age 11 and 3 years), I had five packed 125 liter bags of wool from the two dogs. (By that time, I had lost my daughter several years earlier, and we never got around to find anyone that could spin the wool into yarn, so the wool went into the garbage.)

Have heard somewhere that the dirt on TV Remotes in hotels is worst of all. All kinds of bacteria, etc. on them.
Remotes in hotel rooms are contaminated because the maid cleans them with the same rag she uses on the toilet.

I guess I am less germaphobic than anyone I know. :-) Amd I don't like peanut butter :-) Nevertheless, my fingers are not immune to loosing skin cells, to sweating, or whatever. I am often surprised by how much dust, sometimes rather fatty, is collected at the key sides that I do not touch while typing, and on the surfaces between the groups of keys. It must come from the air. Acutally, the keytops that my fingertip touches is more or less shiny, it is the sides that collect so much dirt that you can scrape it off. That is the same both on my home PC and my office PC - and at the office, eating crackers with peanut butter while working is most certainly out of the question. Every half year or so, I take the office keyboard with me home to clean it the same way. The same kind of deposits collects on the mouse, but its surfaces are easily accessible to be wiped with a cloth and some detergent. And for the ambiguiety of the term "mouse"... In Norwegian, it is also a slang term for female private parts. You can imagine what we call the scroll wheel.
I would have replied sooner but I have been fighting my web hosting server and email server the last week or so, and just received this. I needed the laugh. Great reply! I only clean my keyboard when the keys start sticking. the standard procedure is to throw it away and get another. :cool: BTW Your reply begs the comment "I hope your wife/significant other/girlfriend gets the cheese on a regular basis.....
My wife always told me I was a big slob...
