Hello All,

No one wants to discuss cooking? :(

No one wants to discuss cooking? :(

My wife has decided to go insane on the apartment. We went from having
tables and chairs (3 tables) to no tables. My recipe stuff and offline
mail is on my laptop which I have no place to use now. LOL

That's my excuse. :)

Why would you (she) want to have no tables?

Oh dear. I'm considering getting a newer laptop with higher resolution.
My current laptop, an ancient 14" HP EliteBook 840 G1, works great but
it has low resolution for me (1366x900, IIRC).

That's my excuse. :)

Thinking about getting one of these for my living room as the wooden TV
trays I have just are a tad bit too small for my laptop and external
mouse. USD$22.

The tables were turned one too many times?

I liked my table. She wants to declutter so it's easier to walk around
this place. (It wasn't that bad to begin with)

My current 12 year old laptop is just fine for me. It doe what I need it
to. It's main use is Calibre for ebooks and accuchef and offline mail. :)

Probably a much better idea. ;)

That's how my small computer desk it. One of those really small one with
the shelves that were popular in the early 2000's. Desktop is balancing
on two boxes of CD's to bring it high enough for the tiny little cord on
my monitor. :)

I can sorta get that. My wife likes to move/re-arrange furniture for no apparent reason, even when it seems to be perfect to me. I've learned
to just sigh and carry on. But it would seem pretty difficult to
function with no tables at all. :-)

Yes. Exactly this.

This is new. She's been out of work for a couple months (her job ended
and she got a big go away cheque) so she's bored and changing things
around. I will admit I like the new love seat we got. Has wireless
charging, usb ports, cup holders, moves like 8 ways.

Just wish I had a single table in the house. LOL

Brother I can do no wrong right now. Give it another month and she'll be
mad at me again. LOL

So in the table drama of our household.

She ordered one and paid for it at Bad Boy Furnature. They just went
bankrupt so we can't get the table or a refund. They went bankrupt the
day after she bought it. How crooked is that?

Whatevre... just more money we don't have. I'll get a second job.
