Sometimes I need me a little Monty Python.
Silly makes the world go round.

Unfortunately, I never really learned to speak or understand the British language.

. . . hobbyist basement brain surgery on the weekends. . . . I assume we're still on for tomorrow for that Abby Normal thingy I'm getting done, right?

Oh, wait, wrong forum.

I agree with Pugsy, as is true 99.999% of the time--although this statement by the OP does give me some pause: . . . noticed some of these black dust-looking particles inside the humidifier tray of her machine . . .
