I suspect so... She would do things like leave the laptop on her bed, the blanket underneath obstructing the vents then wonder why the fan was running so fast 
I'm learning to stop caring. It's their laptop, bust it? go fix it, what part of this is my problem? Greatly reduces stress in my life when applied to all of their problems.

Very good Dave. You sometimes annoy, but you never disappoint.

I just discovered a delightful site which hosts Understanding Breadbaking[^], a book written by a lady who really understands bread. It's not a collection of recipes, but a description of the theory and process of producing a fine loaf from scratch. It's short, and a great read, if you love home baked bread.

Baking bread. Bollocks. There are other substances that can be baked. Or they bake you. Or whatever. This post sucks. Pass me the stuff homie.

Hmm...I notice that he included a copy of the original Copyright page...so does that make him honest, or not? 
Since it was written in 1976, and copyright lasts for 70 years after the death of the last one of everyone involved passes away, it is in copyright for a few years yet...

(1)(A) Any copyright, in the first term of which is subsisting on January 1, 1978, shall endure for 28 years from the date it was originally secured."
The author did not file for renewal, which would have added 67 years to the term.

I ate for the last decade only home made bread and can tell you one thing for sure - it takes time to bake your own...

Well that was a crusty reply!

Maybe just half-baked.

There's a grain of truth in that reply.

Yes, but is it the Wholegrain and nothing but the grain?
