My Dear Professor:
1. Ireland is wonderful! I loved it
2. I heartily agree with you on your "don't trust" items
3. I should have said "the scientific method" also :)
4. Would you like more book recommendations? heh heh
You know I bought King of Masks a couple years ago but I've yet to watch it! I hear it's very good.
glomgold: it was very very good!
Wow. We could be soul mates. Except for your answers being completely different from mine.
I did eat at a Mcdonalds once though. And was shushed by a movie theatre usher.
Coincidence...Probably..
I'd also like to meet Charlie Chaplin. :)
L - I am hear with my man, reading your post...he said to tell you not trusting those who only code on COBOL is a cheap shot!
Have a good weekend.
Deb
Happy&Blue: yes, I always felt we were Soulmates, all along.
Lisa: I've always been addicted to his movies -- he's just wonderful
Debbie: Please note that I have adjusted it slightly :)
Hee, hee, I like the adjustment. But you must not trust my boss or the other supervisor in my group, as they insist on using cursors all the time!
See ya!
He was so handsome when he was younger too, though always a bit tiny.
Deb: someone should tell them to stop. Any DBA will tell you that!
Lisa: yes he was, wasn't he?
I don't trust the same things that you don't trust.
and that's why I like you ;)
