As I am very visual (I always visualize y'all...don't worry...your not in your underwear) I would like to know if you are on a laptop or at a PC.

I sit on a laptop in our tacky tv/home theatre room (thanks FFF :roll:) at the end of one of those tacky tv furniture sofa's (you know the kind, flip out recliner, built in cup holders....don't worry...this is the only room he had any say so in) and type away on my laptop ...while FFF watches his loud surround sound/blow your hair back movies on his huge tv. What do you use and in what room/setting?

We have two laptops, a desktop, and a network printer. The desktop rarely gets turned on and is only used as a backup site for files. The laptops follow us around the house, but we're generally in the den on the sofas.

Network printing is nice. We can print from anywhere in the house, but the downside is that the printer is downstairs in the front office...

PC at home, laptop when I travel.
My computer room is a multi functional room. It is also my casual dining area off my den/kitchen/laundry area.

I have a full size, shaker design, casual cherry computer hutch which is the same as the table in the room and china hutch and book cabinet.

My room is painted a warm Williamsburg blue with rose accents. My dog also has her crate in this room which is also blue.

I have a very unique Snow White themed print above my computer that was given to me by one of my Disney friends, when they sold the Disney Inn to the Army and it became Shades of Green. It is a print of the mantel in the Dwarf's house and is a one of a kind, Disney had it commissioned for the Inn. It is very unique and I love it.

Being close to the den, kitchen and laundry room I can get a few things done and still be on the computer. Key word being a "few".

Starbucks is number one because they are the biggest...no other reason. We have Caribou Coffee up here in ATL, and it is so much better. The only downside is that they aren't on every street corner...

Naitve Seattle residents generally prefer other brands, too...

If I weren't feeling so lazy, I'd find the survey/taste test/whatever it was that was done last year that rated McDonald's coffee as the best-tasting. I think it was done after McD's revamped their coffee. They beat out Starbucks and all the rest.
ktschris, I had to out myself with that avatar because I've eaten a ridiculous amount of malt balls over the past few days. If I cared enough, I'd be embarrassed.
P.S. This whole post reeks of apathy! :floor:

My desktop sits in between the kitchen and the dining area. I like it because I don't feel cut off from everyone and I can post and cook at the same time. I do not recommend this tho...many things have been ruined while sowalling.
This is exactly where mine is too. It's great for a work from home set up.
I, too, have burned many things or had to clean up after boil overs. :roll:

Daughter agrees. She despises the coffee at Starbucks. Prefers Modica when at the beach.

The big joke is McDonald's premium coffee. Excuse me, it is absolutely horrible. I just can't even drink a fourth of a cup of it.

I almost bought another carton of whoppers today but resisted. Hallelujah. They're addictive the way they melt with all that maltiness.....
:biggrin: Oh, laptop, tv tray, sofa. I graduated from the dungeon when we both got laptops for Xmas last year. :clap:JUL, that was fuNNe. Your gull sounds very helpful like mine. My gulls used to yell press 'enter' to get me unstuck and now look.:shock: :yikes:

I am on the Pc in the dinning room which is open to the TV room. So I don't feel that I'm away from the rest of the family. In the day time, I'm in my back office, on the Company PC........

Ask again next week, searching for laptops, should have one this weekend.

so then it might be sitting at a car show gabbin with the SoWal croud. :clap:

Does anyone take the laptop in that other special room that has the special chair, tub, sink, etc? :biggrin: (Not that I ever would...)

Yeah, but not for the reason you may be eluding too.
I put my laptop on the ottoman and stick it in the bathroom next to the tub. Then I lie there in a bubble bath and watch movies on the widescreen. Occassionally I have sat there Indian style waist deep in water and posted on SoWal. Gawd help if we should have an earthquake and the computer jumps into the tub. I'd be fried!:wave:

Anyone who Sowals from the potty needs to have their IP address blocked until said sowaler gets the necessary intervention. :blink:

My pc is on a desk in the corner of my dining room. Would love a laptop, but would only encourage more excessvie computer use.

Dunkin Donuts coffee is great. McDonalds...not so much. They think very highly of it though.

Brach's used to make the best malted milkballs but I can't find them anymore. Those were so addictive.

When I had to redo Ms Seaside's bath suite (mine was just fine, thank you) we put a flat screen on the wall over the new spa tub (Thank you Lil Seaside:pissed:). She can sit there and watch whatever she wants, mostly old Andy Griffith TV shows, but NO SoWaling from the suite. NO!!!

No electronics should be in the bathroom that are not designed for it (hairdryer, electric toothbrush etc.)!

Pet peeve is people who use the phone in the restroom - especially a public restroom - how icky and talk about germs! :puke:

I just start making simulated noises if someone is doing that in a public restroom.

I'm addicted...I swear they must something in the stuff....Not all Starbucks are created equal....I determined this morning that this certain 30 something male barista makes the best....I know now why he makes me smile when he hands me my venti cafe latte...it's not because he sings behind the counter or that he has a handsome smile...it's because he makes the best....I think they should have a war of the baristas...because some make a better brew than others.:D

Last time I loked, the machines were computerized and all made the same stuff.

Maybe, just maybe, there is something intangible going on here.:floor::rofl::clap::funn:
