You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Once you have the router set up, it's really easy to set up the tivo. It looks for the signal, asks for the password, beeps a few times, and you're set.

oh, also. Any ideas how to open a Word 2007 doc if you're stuck with Word 2003? My mother sent me something, and despite my trying to talk her through the "save as", it's not getting through. Ideas?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Try this: Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats

It worked for me.

not your mom's socks.

pops in to wave... hey leNubian (because the last time I asked a job related question you wondered if I work for the craxy) - I just got spoken to for language in a program, specifically using the word 'orphan'. Apparently, the person who is upset has adopted and she is horrified that we are using the term in this manner.

"...for me "orphan" refers to those who don't have families to call their own, not to meetings that happen regularly. ...- it made my jaw drop because it hit that emotional button we all have in regard to family!"

Just in case anyone's not amused enough by other things.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I can't imagine what I would say in a similar situation, Sox. "I'm sorry you're offended by common terminology."? "I would change it but unfortunately that's what they're called."? "Get used to it."?
