Eighteen people in my office of thirty-six raised over $1500 for my cube-neighbor who’s home burned down a few weeks ago. Even the stingy weird guy chipped in. We made her cry.
I think she should commit to spending at least some of it on shoes and purses as that was her fetish.

It’s interesting what you learn on the food channel. Right now they’re airing some shows about food as it relates to the White House and White House history. Apparently, the Presidential family gets a bill once a month for their meals, dry cleaning and necessities like toothpaste. Nancy R. was reportedly shocked to learn this when she got the first bill.
Oh, and the Roosevelts served the King and Queen of England hot dogs and baked beans.
Reagan ate Jelly Beans to stop pipe smoking in ‘67. Jelly Belly created Blueberry so they could send him 3

Why is it that merged cells in Excel will not work correctly with word wrap? I have the merged cel (which spans four columns) set to word wrap, and the wrapping part seems to be working but it doesn’t and refuses to adjust the column height so you can actually see the next line of what you typed. :angry:
Also, is it too much to ask to be able to set up a formula so it referances another worksheet by relative location? For example, if I have a form which I copy every day into

So, I have a ghost. It can’t all be blamed on cat mischeif. It just can’t.
It started simple enough. After my parents left me in Maine last Spring, I would come home and find the closet door open or wake up and find the utility room door open. Once I discovered the refridgerator door open.
Then it all got quiet for a bit and when it started up again, I blamed the cats as I caught them openning the utility room door once. Except it sometimes happened when the cats were with

Well, I’m happy to announce that PW has a new boyfriend. The sad part for her is that he lives in England and will from now on be refered to here as English. 
They met years ago online and have been friends for some time, but after his second visit, the chemistry was quite evidence and he sent her flowers and candy for her birthday — which of her friends was really only remembered by me; not even her roommate El remembered it. Anyway, they hooked up on this last trip and to here her talk

Well, starting on Wednesday, I started noticing these little muscle twitches in my right leg. They would happen every once in a while. No pain. Just this weird spasm feeling. By last night they had spread to my right hip and arm. Today they’ve gotten to my left leg.
I had my mom research my meds to see if this could be a side effect of one of them. I’ve been on all my meds from three to six months, so I don’t know why this would suddenly happen, but it did. My mom

Well, the final news on my friend who’s house burned down is that indeed only one pet survived. The thought is that one of the cats knocked over a new heater in the basement and that started the fire. They are currently living in a hotel and the rescued dog is staying with family. The dog was rescued by a man who wasn’t supposed to be in that neighborhood until Monday but got ahead in his work and stopped by her neighbor’s house for some consult work. He knew there were other pets and the dog

So, the story begins this morning when I awoke to find that a power outage had messed up my alarm. I soon found out that it didn’t really matter that I had overslept because the hip-high snow outside had blockaded me into my apartment. I was unable to open the storm door to get out. In fact, I couldn’t leave by the backdoor because the weight of the snow had brought down a tree in my “backyard” (read: woods).
I also quickly discovered I could not email work to let them know I was going to be late because
