All truly excellent questions !!!

Are you sure that you are not married to me already ? You've pretty much got it covered. All those questions have to be applied to both parties. Some caveats, though.

A skyscraper made of giant Legos? Nothing could go wrong.

Finally! I got away! Oh crap. Zombies can climb ?

CISSP is the certification that I see mentioned most often in job postings. I think it has been around the longest.

It's not all IT problems though. There should be policies in place requiring multiple signoffs/passwords/etc to initiate transfers over a certain amount. Info Security is juggling act that requires both humans and machines. And when I say "humans", I mean you may need to retrain your users.

I have an old GPS I will ship to ya real cheap. The last car we bought has built-in GPS. our smartphones serve as a backup when the built-in turns out to be inaccurate - and it's maps are getting pretty stale. Dealer wants an arm and TWO legs to do a map update.

Or just reading Excel's built in help . I used to amaze our help desk callers by walking them through convoluted procedures over the phone. My secret ? I knew that Word or Excel would likely do what they wanted and I could guess what Microsoft called that function within three guesses searching the built-in Help.…

This is so OMG territory - You are so correct. I sometimes use Excel as a data source for Crystal Reports. Why ? I often get stuck with the headache of figuring out who is in this database, but not THAT database. The two databases are ALWAYS on two very dissimilar platforms, but darn near everything nowadays…

Yup. Stock photo is nearly as old as I am. Throw me into some WordPerfect for DOS and Lotus 123 and I will show these young whippersnappers how it's done......................................................................Now get off my lawn.

The ones that comment about my unhealthy eating habits? I usually just club them repeatedly over the head with my full bottle of Mountain Dew. Even if the comments don't stop, it's highly therapeutic for me.

"...but by respecting the other person and helping rather than shaming them, you have a better chance of convincing them to be a healthier person."

p.s. The Styx song "Too Much Time On My Hands" is also running through my head now.

Here is a different perspective:

Johnson and Giamatti ? Check. End of world? Check. We'll be there.

Sure, she can fly. But can she SHOOT ??? No point in becoming borgbrained unless I get to use the guns and missiles. ;)

Well, it would be better tasting and better for me than that deep fried snickers bar dipped in chocolate sauce and sprinkled with powdered sugar that I ate at the fair a few years ago.

That certainly would be a great crew. ;)

OK. I admit I am aware of but have not watched Gotham. Waiting for it to get to Netflix. Good or Bad, it doesn't matter - you guys had me at Jeffrey Combs and Morena Baccarin. Now we definitely must watch it.

A few suggestions for the "new" Ripley... as long as Sigourney makes a cameo. Perhaps Weaver could be a rogue trader ship's captain... I see her in her later years as working for herself, outside of the normal system, running her own ship, keeping her crew in line, staying as far away from the doublemouth xenomorph…
