A cordless mouse is so much handier! My corded mouse would roll pens off the desk, slide papers around, wrap around my coffee cup, & other bothersome things. Of course, I never had to replace the battery in the corded mouse.

I’ve had smoked turkeys a few times that somebody else cooked. It was great, and so much less work! No more missing the games to make sure the turkey isn’t turning into a briquet.
Fallen asleep at the buffet! Been there.
