    Haha – I have a bundle just like that in my bottom drawer. I’m trying to ignore it 🙂

    At least yours is in a drawer. Ours is out in the open and we’re actually using all of it! Scary.

    Get your own power strip, plug it into his and maybe you can un-entangle

    That looks really scary. Wish I could simply zip over and help you with it. I’m good with neatening wire bundles.

    I feel your pain. Still playing phone tag with the cable company with apparently the one English speaker that can fix my wireless problem. One month now….

      I feel your pain on that too. It took us three months to get our wireless sorted out here and we don’t even have the language barrier as an excuse.

    I call that a “Wired Nightmare” 😀
    Patience is the tool to fix it.

    Looks like the area behind every desk I have ever owned! I feel your pain.

    That is a very familiar sight! It happens sometimes, when I work at clients, that I first have to ‘deconstruct’ a “kraaines” like that before I can sort out their problem – it can be a dirty job. At least your bundle of joy seems fairly clean from where I’m sitting. 😉

    I know it well, there’s a tribe of mischievous ghosts that operate in all households that own more than one steam iron. We have our own tribe here too! You never see them at work but their glorious achievements are plain to see! Welcome to the benefits of electricity!
