Are the posted questions getting worse?

    Oh heck yes. I've got no issues with heat. You sweat, what's the big deal?

    Cold hurts.

    I'm actually the other way around. The heat just kills me. Day after day of this and I can barely even think, just want to sit in a swimming pool all day. At least if it's cold, I can get a jacket, a blanket or something.

    No wonder you were barefoot & stuff up in Seattle.

    I'm with Grant, heat, heat, heat.

    I like skiing, but other than that, I'd like warm weather all the time.

    Denver doesn't seem like the right place for someone who likes heat.

    Neither is Massachusetts, but "She who must be obeyed" likes the cold.

    Hey, that's why I've spent the last 2+ months in NH.

  • Jack Corbett (1/9/2009)Hey, that's why I've spent the last 2+ months in NH.

    Because my wife told you too?

    Every married man has a "She who must be obeyed", but not the same one.:P

    Yeah, one of our local radio guys, Michael Graham, calls his "My lovely wife, the warden."

  • "She who must be obeyed"... there's a Jack Lemmon movie on that kind of subject. It's called, "How to Murder Your Wife". Pretty funny, actually (and nobody gets killed, of course).

    Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part...unless you're my manager...or a director and above...or a really loud-spoken end-user..All right - what was my emergency again?

  • Of course, the other thing this part of this thread reminds me of, is a joke about a newly married couple.

    The man tells his wife, "put on my pants". Thinking it's a joke of some sort, she tries to do so, but can't, and ends up telling him, "I can't. They're simply much too large." He yells at her, "that's right! And I want you to remember who wears the pants in this family."

    So, she tells him to put on her pants. Of course, they are FAR too small, and he tells her he can't get into them. She says, "that's right, and you never will if you keep acting like this!"

    (Okay, every so slightly racy, but I don't think I'm violating good taste too badly on that one.)

  • I like how the OP re-stated the same non-question. Perhaps it should have been in bold the second time.

    I like how the OP re-stated the same non-question. Perhaps it should have been in bold the second time.

    There seems to be an echo in that thread. The exact same non-question's just appeared for the third time, albeit with badly formed sample data included.

  • Maybe if you just post the link to the article about how to effectively post the OP will eventually get it. Maybe a bit like Tennis for while but it might be fun. πŸ˜›

  • Yes, and the "sample data" doesn't have any column resembling an ID to designate who "they" are that can order "any number on this combination."

    Already have, three times.

    Oh, and there's another one. Can anyone tell me what's actually been asked here?

    I usually go barefoot at home. After almost five days of walking around that conference centre, my feet were hurting.
