Re: Last Post Wins
I'm in a valley, between the "mountains." I never knew what was meant by "the thunder rolls" til I moved here. It's just too freaking loud for me to sleep through. Of course, I can't sleep if the cat walks in, or an icemaker turns on (and we don't have a fan going to block the noise), etc. Just a weird guy for sleeping.

My favorite Alt Shortcuts
0176
0189
21
11
23
24
25
26
0162
7
What are yours?
Sadly, it's becoming a lost art. You can generally find an example of what you need on the internet, and hit copy and paste quickly enough. And I can't remember the darn shortcuts off the top of my head, although I do a fair job with alt-11 and alt-21, which I use fairly often.

Re: Last Post Wins
^You're speaking a foreign language to me, D. I don't use Alt shortcuts and don't know what they are. I don't use the Function buttons, either.
Back in the old days of WordPerfect for DOS I was a wiz at all those ctrl/alt/F4/whatever shortcuts, but since Windows 95 I've lost all that.U really think players are going to duke without being paid over Kentucky?--Gilbert Arenas, 9/12/19

Re: Last Post Wins
I am utterly AMAZED That you know alt-codes. I mostly use the four digit ones for accent marks é (0233), ñ (0241, because it annoys me when the tilde is left off of words like jalapeño), ê (0234, because it is in my girl's legal name).
They are more commonly called alt-codes and they are a way of entering special characters like (é, ñ, §, ☺, ☻, etc.) You activate them by holding down alt, typing in the number on the number pad, then releasing alt.

Re: Last Post Wins
BEvans, try Alt-0167 and Alt-0182. You'll be glad you did, probably especially the first one.
Pedro, I don't "remember" all of those. In fact, I looked, and I butchered a couple above. I printed out a bunch I keep next to me just to make it easy, and I don't use them quite often enough to remember all of them. I need to laminate it and keep it handier than the piece of paper I lose.
I just love the way that ½ looks instead of 1/2. I use § very frequently in my writings. 212° looks so much better than 212 degrees. Just several like that as well. And so on, and so forth.
Pedro, it irritates me to see the tilde left off, too, although I am guilty of the practice on occasion when I'm in a hurry. It will make my "cut" of commonly used alt-codes.

Left this morning with a jacket on and the heater on, and now a simple dress shirt has me burning up. Hate weather like this.

Re: Last Post Wins
KY gear and khakis or jeans, yeah that sounds about right.
Now, for the office I have an assortment of Blue, if not UK dress shirts and the various matching trousers; you have to represent...One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can't utter.

I had dinner Sunday night with one of the girls currently on The Bachelor.
Well, if "having dinner with" means being in the same restaurant while my daughter took a couple of stealth photos of her and her date, also on the show.

Re: Last Post Wins
By your standard I used to make love with Farrah Fawcett thanks to that poster of hers in the 70s.....
People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

Re: Last Post Wins
OK, I'm going to say it: Bryan Adams gets a bad rap. His songs won't start a cultural revolution, but he didn't suck. The shuffle on my iPhone just brought up "It's Only Love," his duet with Tina Turner, and it's good. (Just about anything with Tina Turner's good, but still....)

Re: Last Post Wins
What's your home page? I've used MSN for years because that was my main email...now it's become a spam haven so rarely used. MSN does have a variety of stories but I'm pretty tired of their slant. I like to start off with national news and few local stories that no one is talking about on the boob tube.

Google search home page. Loads in a blink then I go to a bookmarked page from there. I may want to come here first, go to the weather or go to a news page. All right there with a click or two
