Sorry for ignoring you, Hank. Thank you for your suggestion, but I'll respectfully decline to follow it. |

It usually works well to express something that is a curve in a pie graph.
ETA I can't stand it. I can't do it. IT'S CALLED A PIE CHART.

This must be hard for you. If it makes your day any better, I do enjoy the Sirius Spectrum recommendation that you gave me (it is now preset number 6). Haven't quite made it over to the LEft of Center and Coffeehouse channels yet though. I'm working on it.
ETA: The best thing so far about Sirius, to me, is the frequency of hearing Pink Floyd songs on various of their channels when I'm driving home from work. This makes me very very happy. I guess maybe it is time to make sure I get some PF uploaded to my iPod. I must be back in that phase. An all Pink Floyd station for a month would be a nice thing. Have they done that one already?

You should google before you make such a strong statement.

Is this the first time ever that you have used the word "pie" in a sentence, yet put the emphasis on another word?

thanks. while you're at it, it sounds like you want to change the definition of "illiterate" from "cannot read" to "understands phrases that I do not." And while you're there maybe look up "didactic," and see if it sounds like a positive descriptor.

No digital cable for me. No NFL Season Ticket.
I think there is some Tivo licensed alternative available, but we got this because it was *supposed* to work better with DirecTv. Ha. Let this be a warning to all of you...

My father just got a new dvr with his digital cable. He hates it.
He still likes the tivo that came with his directv.
Yes, my father has digital cable and directv. You cannot get HDTV locals on directv. You cannot get the Sunday Ticket or the NFL package on cable.
My father has excessive disposable income. |

You bring small children to work with you?

It might have something to do with your defective box.

Contra, remember that Sebby professes an affectation both for slim suit pants and commando wear. Perhaps it's a possibility.

I suggest you look up "literate" and "illiterate." In, like, a dictionary.
This is all very "sunny calling email 'hot meals'" to me. |

To the extent that I consider a trip to the mall with kids "work," yes.
eta: If I were going to skip out of work to go shopping for a little while, I'm much likelier to head here or here than over to the new mall.
