It restarted randomly when I wasn't even touching either keyboard or mouse. And since I know I don't have a web-cam on here, it must be keyed to always fail.

I've been 'doing nothing' on an island for the past 5 days and they think I can't do two minutes????

@Alassirana: You must have bumped something I got a "Well Done".

Not only can I do nothing for two minutes easy but as a man I can also think nothing. Just ask my wife.

You're trying to tell us that your wife allows you to have thoughts? Genuine, by-yourself-with-no-outside-help thoughts?

How disappointing - I kept waiting for the scary screaming dude to pop up.

Bd's wife is not too worried about his thoughts, it the actions she's interested in. :lol:

I got a well done too. I was moving around but did not touch my keyboard or mouse.

You know first hand Patty that more than two minutes of "action" at my age requires Viagra or Cialis.
