You know ..... If the right "outsider" read the Thread, some of us might end up with free room and board for the rest of our lives, wall padding included. 😀 hmmm :w00t:

You know what they say about free.

I'm sure some politician will find a way to make you pay for it anyway (i.e. the proposed HealthCare Reform bill).

All you young whipper snappers .... hope you last as long if not longer than myself ... (born April 18, 1932) .. no major aches, no major pains, one major surgery -- open heart, still able to rise and shine each morning. So you all plan to keep on plugging away
congratulations - keep on plugging away

Some years ago while waiting at Mitcham Junction for a late train home, a conversation started with an old geezer, the only other person on the platform. He was in his late 70's and was working on a Pick / databasic(?) contract nearby, something he broke his retirement for from time to time "to keep the wolves from the door". Fit as a fiddle, smart as a dandy and with a razor-sharp wit. Something to aspire to, I thought - well, maybe in another life!

Good for you, Ron! Top work. Of course, this ends the search, for President.... of the OGC 😀

Anybody else see a problem with this statement?
DECLARE @selectDate = getdate()-365

Leap years are vastly overrated.

We should roll back the clocks (and calendars) by 24 hours at the end of each Feb 29th and pretend the 29th never existed.

Edit: Just thinking (I know, scary thought) this could have interesting consequences for significant events happening on Feb 29th.

I think therefor I am .... at least I thought so.

All I needed was one item. Something real important happened on a Feb 29th. We absolutely need to keep Feb 29th.

What happened?
