"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

You can reveal codes in Word, I think. Is that to show formatting symbols?

It's not the same. Reveal Codes in WordPerfect let you see all the formatting for the whole document. If something wasn't working you could spot it in a second.

Reveal Codes was so great you frequently fantasized about how wonderful it would be if you could use it on people and see how their psyches had all been improperly formatted.

Maybe you frequently had these fantasies...

I understand, vaguely, that Word codes differently so there is some actual reason 'reveal codes' can't happen.

But the lack of 'make it fit' is fucking inexcusable.

(Of course, if they DID have 'make it fit' they would try and do it all the time. automatically. at best a little fucking paperclip would come up and say "would you like to MAKE IT FIT?" and you'd have to tell it to go away and then hunt it down and kill it because yet again IT changed stuff on your computer and resurrected the little fuck.)

It seems like at least ONE Hanson should be 30 by now.

I'm not even 30 yet. Let's not rush these things.

Eldest member of Hanson hospitalized with a pulmonary embolism.

I'm very startled to discover that the eldest member of Hanson is 26.

Weekend Edition did a story about Hanson this past Sunday.

Me either. No reason to go nuts with this "aging" thing.

Question (for Dana or Daisy or other folks from the area...)

Are there any boutique style hotels that you know of in downtown Austin? I've already looked on the marriott site, the starwood site, hotels.com... have already investigated The Driskill...

Anywhere else I should be looking?

Ok, Hanson bio stuff on Wikipedia:

In 2000 oldest brother Isaac dated Marit Larsen of M2M while the girl group opened up for them on tour. Isaac married Nicole Summer (Nikki) Dufresne (born November 25, 1983) of Panama City, Florida, on September 30, 2006 in the gardens of The Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa, Oklahoma in front of 300 guests. Isaac and his wife welcomed their first child, a son named Clarke Everett Hanson, on April 3, 2007. [16]

On June 8, 2002, middle brother Taylor married his girlfriend of two years, Natalie Anne Bryant (born December 28, 1983). The ceremony was held at the Ida Cason Memorial Chapel of Callaway Gardens, located in Pine Mountain, Georgia[17]. The couple have three children, Jordan Ezra Hanson (born October 31, 2002) [18], Penelope Anne Hanson (born April 19, 2005) [19], and River Samuel Hanson (born September 4, 2006) [20].

Youngest brother Zac married his girlfriend of five years, Kathryn Rebecca (Kate) Tucker (born November 29, 1983), on June 3, 2006 at a private ceremony held at Second Ponce de Leon Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia.[21]. Zac briefly dated Marion Raven, also of M2M, in 2000.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Nora, try the Austin Motel. It's right down Congress Avenue--take the Dillo to Sixth Street, etc. Walking distance to the Congress Avenue Bridge (where the bats are). It's clean, neat and family owned. It also has a nice little Mexican cafe next door with excellent food (El Sol y La Luna).
