Ouch.
I feel for you and I am glad that it is all fixed up.
My only question is, why do you freeze a snickers bar?

I didn't enjoy the 80s as much as I should have at the time. I was still in the 70s. I listen to 80s music a lot more now -- on cable. I want my 80s-era MTV!
And I was thinking of getting a mullet...

One of the best things I did was unplug outside of work. I use the computer sometimes, but it's mostly for researching fitness. It's been very positive for my family, and the best part.... I don't have to wear a mullet.

I'd previously dismissed touchscreen swipe keyboards as idiotic and without any redeeming value.
But earlier today I discovered that for filling a form with dummy data that smeary-smeary-smear allowed me to be lazier than tapity-fingerprint-tapity-fingerprint-tapity-fingerprint-tapity-fingerprint-tapity-fingerprint-tapity-fingerprint-tapity-fingerprint did for a given value of filler. On the other elephant even when I try smearing real words instead of random values its fail rate is high enough to sustain the remainder of my snarking.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I have to admit, for regular typing, the swipe-smear-swear keyboard on my nexus 7 is a lot faster and more accurate than tappity-tap.
For code, however... Elephant the sunshine elephanting elephant.
It had flaws: it always does "coffee" when I want "code" for example. But it's pretty good. Heck of a lot slower than a "proper" keyboard though.

After a stressful drive to the USCIS office (did they really need to remove an overpass and gum up the interstate??), followed by difficulty in locating the room once there, the actual Naturalization Interview was entirely anti-climatic. The civics / history test was a doddle, in fact I'm certain up to a half of the country could pass. The very pleasant officer has recommended my naturalization to US citizen (which should happen within the next couple of months). I am amazed given the gruffness of the typical immigrations officer at the airport how polite and cordial all the USCIS staff are at the regional office, and not just towards a native English speaking Brit like me.
In other news: The recent purchase of a bright red growley V8 muscle car at age 38 has led Mrs MidwestLimey to conclude I'm having a midlife crisis. I've told her to hold off on that comment until I start with the tight jeans, hair dye and hitting on 20 year olds.

After I got my Green Card my immigration lawyer said I should go for US citizenship. I asked him, "why?" He couldn't really give me a good answer.

Jury duty. You know you wanna.

I have been called three times for jury duty across the two different states I have lived in so far (which was a duty I was quite prepared to do) and had to explain each time that I did not qualify.
The biggest difference for me is Security Clearance. In the UK I had one of the highest clearances (both UK and NATO) while I was on jet fighter development, the Tornado and the Eurofighter and yet I could not visit the Aberdeen Proving Grounds for a meeting (as part of my job at the time) because I was a "damned foreigner", obviously a spy (guilty until proven innocent appears to be the standard in the US now) and had to delegate the task to my colleague who was an ex-KGB Russian immigrant who had just got his US citizenship a few months earlier. I always thought NATO meant something, but apparently not. Since I now work in healthcare there isn't any military stuff for me to spy on.

Forogar: Why?
Lawyer: Hmmm.... you know... I mean.... it is good
Forogar: what good?
Lawyer: you know... good for me.... BTW do you know I charge for US citizenship process as well.
