omg. I had a GeoCities that I started when I was 19 that mostly consisted of my bad poetry. And also righteous bisexual feminist rage.

Me, three. I know math isn't my forte, but...

Those are serious fightin' words. I can't even. I will instead focus on your excellent taste in Carnivale.

I had that exact same reaction to "finger cheating."

ELEVEN YEARS?! This piece of crap show has been on for ELEVEN YEARS?

So sorry that your dad and you and your family have to go through this. I so wish I was wealthy and could help with this sort of thing.

I do not know why I am responding to a probable troll, but:

I dunno if it is either, cuz I don't know you. But don't even get me started on the state of dental health in this country (as if your teeth are somehow magically disconnected from the rest of your body...grrrr).

Let's start a Kickstarter to pay you to punch both of them in the face (we need enough to cover the resulting legal fees, too).

Meanwhile, I have friends who have had to start GoFundMes to raise money for medical care so they don't die or have a really crappy quality of life.

oh my god, that would give me ALL THE RAGES. jeezus.

Good question. I don't remember how I first started picking it up lo these many years ago. Now I mostly use googling for random things I can't remember how to do.

Well, sure. At the same time, it's an easy thing to learn that frequently comes in handy for many jobs in many fields. Or even in other capacities (such as volunteering).

Excellent point. Yeah, we never did that on the highway.

There is just nothing like the change from a horribly inefficient system that takes unnecessary hours to doin' it the smart way.

I mean, I wouldn't actually let the kid do it, but I'd be lying if I said it wouldn't seem like a good idea for about 2 seconds.

Only 2 years? Pshaw, it'll come back to you. There are videos and whatnot online that can help.

I dunno about you, but to me the most frustrating part of that is that doing that sort of thing isn't usually even very difficult! That's the joy of modern word processing: it does most of the work for you. Macros: advanced; page numbers: not so much.

They really, really do.
