Socket is proud to be a sponsor at this weekend's Susan G. Komen Mid-Missouri Race for the Cure.

Thousands of runners and walkers will participate in this 5K race in Columbia to support breast cancer research, screening and education.

The race takes place Sunday, September 18 at 8:30 a.m. but come by early for health information, giveaways and contests from national and local sponsors. 

Our inboxes are flooded with emails these days.

And we've all got that one person in our address book who sends us completely useless (and often untrue) chain emails, forwards and jokes.

Don't wait for one of your recipients to hit "reply all" and tell all your friends how wrong you were. Learn to sort fact from fiction when it comes to email forwards.

We're filling ours with nice emails from our customers.

They make for a nice little pick-me-up at lunchtime.

To say I am technically challenged puts it mildly. Mike patiently spent over an hour on the phone with me, first trying to analyze what had gone wrong, and then leading me through many steps and searches on my computer to eventually solve the problem. He was always calm, polite and reassuring (even when I wasn't at times). I just want to say thank you, Mike, for all the help and patience. (And the &%$#@ red light is finally off and the modem is online!)

And this one from David and Lorraine in Pleasant Hill, MO:
