Please take poll.<br /><br />I don't think they give a flying fuck. As time goes on, neither do I.

What is going on with AB?<br /><br />Nothing good, obviously. That's why so many of us have migrated to fluther.com Sat, 12 Dec 2009 15:14:45 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8520879 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8520875 Don't you just love the AB staff? ;-)<br /><br />"By their works you shall know them." So my answer is "no".

Many worksheets contain links to other worksheets and range names elsewhere in the file, and attempting to save "this worksheet" as a stand-alone file may fail. At the very least, sending that worksheet saved in that way (by itself) will mean that the user will have to...

I've been at fluther.com this afternoon, and already enjoying it more than this POS.

Anyone else with me?<br /><br />I think the redesign must have been made by the managers of Answerology.com or Yahoo! Answers. It's hard to believe that anyone had Answerbag users' best interests in mind when they rolled out this fraudulent "improvement".

How do I filter the data to create a "snapshot" of all the students that were at the school on 01-01-07, 01-02-07 etc. Some students start on 08-01-07 so should not be counted til 01-02-07 snapshot.<br /><br />I would set up autofilters on the two &#039;Date&#039; fields that you have. On the first one, set the Autofilter to &quot;Custom&quot;, and look for &quot;Start Date &lt;= Jan 1, 2007&quot; (your use of 01-01-07 and 01-02-07 can be confusing, since in American usage that is Jan. 1, 07, then...

If it&#039;s not a very big spot, or if it&#039;s like greasy or something (or underwater -- that would be tough, too!), then it might be hard to write what is required.

Thanks.<br /><br />Most often at the retail level, that is &quot;by the consumer&quot;, meat is cut with a knife. But some chefs use a cleaver in the kitchen. At the &quot;processor&quot; level, however, a lot of meat is cut with a saw, particularly a bandsaw. Lizzie Borden apparently did it with an axe. ...

The guy that I have been dating has 3 kids and custody of two. He feels guilty for not being home and not being a good parent and wants to slow things down. Should I stay with him?<br /><br />Nah. Stay with his kids, instead. That way he can keep going out without feeling so guilty, the kids won&#039;t miss him, and you&#039;ll get to feel like a mother. Win - Win - Win, all around. I&#039;m on fire tonight.

It means that he wants to eat you up, and not in the good way. YOU should be the one who&#039;s afraid here.

I feel like he's pressuring me to do things with him that I dont feel comfortable with, but he is two years older and has more experience. I don't want him to think I'm dumb.

She&#039;s actually from the future, and she wants to help you to change history.

I need someone to teach me how to do this math problem! Help !!!!!!!<br /><br />Whoa ... slow down a bit. If you want to know the circumference of the circle the first thing you need to know is: What is the general formula? Now, knowing the formula, you need to be able to use one of the parts of the circle in that formula to figure circumference. From your stated...

Personally, I think your hangup is idiotic, antiquated and nonsensical (not to mention patriarchal and controlling), but if it&#039;s a real problem for you,...

He is married with children, can this mean what I think?<br /><br />If he&#039;s as intelligent and well read as you claim (and I see no reason to doubt that), then you have to assume that it means what you think it means: it&#039;s not accidental.

Would you do something about it?<br /><br />I wouldn&#039;t be upset, because I&#039;m not a crazy person. But that means that my response is probably invalid for most.
