I haven’t had the opportunity to be on the computer much lately. My laptop is usually on the kitchen table, with wireless Internet, and I can check in on everyone throughout the day, depending on what the kids are doing. That freedom to surf has slowed to a crawl. Sciatica has kicked in and I can’t sit at the kitchen table for more than a few minutes at a time.

For the record, I’m not complaining. I’ve only had it for a few days and I’ll only have it for a few more (Yippee!). When I was pregnant with Nathan, I was working in an office while Matthew balanced working from home and running Daddy Day Care for Graham. When I was 5 months along, the sciatica kicked in and I was ordered by my sweet doctor to quit working. Sitting in a chair for eight hours a day is the worst thing for it. I was excited to be home with Graham, but was pretty uncomfortable in my lower right back for the remaining four months. Compared to that, a week is a walk in the park.

Due to my inability to sit at the table, my Internet time has been mostly limited to the evenings after the kids are in bed. Such as right now. I’m sitting on the couch with the laptop on my, well, lap top. I watched Grey’s earlier, and I am awaiting The Office. I recorded CSI on the PVR for Honey and I to watch on the weekend. He’s furiously trying to get the downstairs bathroom done before my Mommy gets here on Sunday.

Speaking of Honey, he’s again the reason for the title of this post. When he comes up from the office at lunch, he’ll usually check the weather and the news on my laptop. Today, he was checking out YouTube.com. I have been meaning to check out the phenomenon that is You Tube, but I try to use my sparse Internet time wisely…checking blogs.

Whilst watching videos, he came across this banner ad:

He turns to me and says, “I want to press it.”

I told him I didn’t think it was a good idea. It probably didn’t work, and then we’d get some virus or something. Or somehow those evil spammers would reach out through the laptop screen and acquire our home email address.

He asked me to do a post and ask if any one has pressed the button. He has reminded me a few times this afternoon that he really wants to know what you all think.

Did you press the button? If so, what happened? If you haven’t pressed it, would you?

In the mind of a man, these are burning (pardon the pun) questions.
