Who else can show a tool with spring tension?

Three Good Reasons to Sulk:

1. The Hundred Year Calendar was uploaded all at one time and saved as separate drafts to be used one by one. All was well until now. In Compose Mode/Blogger/IE/Vista/Dell, if I try to space down a line below the image, the entire image disappears. I don't know what the source of this aggravation is, but the workaround is to switch to Edit HTML Mode, space down there, then switch back to Compose Mode and get on with your life as much as possible. Other squirrely things have happened too, like lines of typed text suddenly vanishing for no apparent reason, or irrational line breaks being inserted into a blog post when it's published. Do-over is the only solution I've found for these quirks.
2. In the six months since I got telephone service started here at my "new" apartment, there have been six (6) phone books delivered to my doorstep: 1 Verizon, 2 Yellow Books, 2 Dex, and 1 "Convenient & Portable" Dex Plus. The Dex Plus, about 2/3 the size of the others, is all yellow pages. All the others are combinations of yellow and white pages which seem to cover varying but overlapping geographical areas. This foot-high stack of former rain forest, by my best calculator-aided count, falls short of 10,000 pages of fine print by only about 200 pages. Pshaw! That's hardly worth mentioning! I mention it only so as not to be accused of exaggerating. While I can't deny the possibility that I might need to use one or more of these books at some time in the future before they expire, I can say with absolute accuracy that I have only used one of them, once, thus far, and the information I got was somewhat misleading at best. I'm old enough to remember when there were two books, one white and one yellow. The white one started with A and went to Z, so if you knew the name of whom or what you were looking for, either a person or a business, you could go right to it. You did not have to figure out first whether the personal listings were separate from the business listings, or whether one suburb was alphabetized separately from the others. The alphabet was separation enough! If you wanted to find a particular type of business but didn't already have the name of one, you went to the book with the "yellow pages," which was also organized alphabetically, by type of business. Because there was only one provider of yellow page books, all the businesses were in there. There was no need for business people to pay for listings in competing yellow page books in order to cover all the bases. There was one base. Everyone looked there. My personal opinion is that, like the break-up of the phone company, the competition in phone books has not done anyone any favors, especially those of us who like trees.
3. While the new computer has arrived, the stuff to transfer my what-all from the old computer has not. Furthermore, a mere day after ordering the new computer, Corel sent me an email explaining that my old Paint Shop Pro X will not work right with Windows Vista.

Three Reasons to Stop Sulking:

1. Where I live, you would be able to see red in your thermometer if you had one. So good is this reason that it could, in all fairness, be repeated for items #2 and #3 in this list.
2. What the hell, I'm goin' with it. Where I live, you would be able to see red in your thermometer if you had one.
3. Where I live, you would be able to see red in your thermometer if you had one. But you don't really need one. Just put on a sweatshirt and go.
