Was it here someone was lamenting the demise of WordPerfect?
Yeah, that was me. WP had great legal form support and had a wonderful View Codes feature. I wonder if I still have the installation CD from around 2000.
I fed off a flowerperson, and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
ooh ... I remember View Codes ... it was SO helpful ... and was a great introduction to learning HTML (I still do some hand coding)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, yeah. I have pretty much given up on Facebook except for whatever is at the top of my newsfeed when I happen to look at it. Sorry people I don't have other contact with! I am keeping up with my one friend in Amsterdam pretty well since I guess his bored-in-the-afternoon posts hit when I am getting up and look to see what's going on.
View Codes! Those were the days, my friends.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Tomorrow we head to Pittsburgh for Confluence. Tonight we pack.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Was it here someone was lamenting the demise of WordPerfect? 'cause I had someone this morning inquire if we had legal document forms in WordPerfect ... a lawyer, of course (not to disparage lawyers (this time) but because they seem to be the last one clinging to WP.
I hadn't said anything, but I preferred WP. The Department of Justice was still using WP when I was still litigating, but I transferred out of that role in 2005.

Pretty sure I wouldn't have this headache if I'd gotten to swim. Grumble.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Pretty much sitting in a multihours long path of thunderstorms.
If they're the ones we had this morning, they're a doozy.
Love,
Ohio

There was a window, but I missed it. Damned me not being a perfect meteorologist.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Hey, New Englandish people, I have a friend who will be driving from VA to Maine next week, unfortunately because her mother has gone into hospice. She's looking for a couch to crash on to break up the trip, so she doesn't have to do the whole 12 hours in a day, and she can't afford a hotel. Anyone in the NY area who could help? Or in the CT area?
I vouch for her absolutely -- known her almost 20 years. She'll be very low maintenance and grateful.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm only a couple of hours out of Portland, but do have a spare room, if she's OK with cats.
ION, I solicited submissions for the Good Stuff, and of course someone immediately submitted something I don't want to post! (That Make-a-wish garbage truck kid. I'm randomly anti Make-a-wish.)
