    Why can't Tom Cruise be in a sci fi movie that isn't either Phillip K. Dick-based or identical to something he would write? I'm getting tired of his "my life is a lie" and/or "is this really real?" expressions.
    I respect Tom Cruise as some one who has over came a real hardship, but not so much his pick of roles.

    Tom Cruise is so Dyslexic that an assistant READS the scripts to him and he learns his lines that way and that way only.

    This has been your FYI post for today. You may carry on.


    his roles prolly has something to do with the religion he's in, him and John Travolta.

    i'm still trying to come to terms with T.C. playing Lestat. i liked him in Legend.

    May Day! May Day!
    No problem, it's just May Day. Do they still have Maypole dances for kids?

    "...Here we go round the Maypole high, Maypole high, Maypole high.
    Here we go round the Maypole high, let colored ribbons fly..."

    See, I actually liked him as Lestat. :D


    I admire a person who has overcome a hardship - my sister has a learning disability and is now a lawyer despite it - but a bad film is a bad film. I mean Sylvester Stallone has Bell's Palsy and that doesn't stop people from hating Stop or my Mom Will Shoot. LOL

    If the language you are using supports regular expressions you should be able to match for standard characters when the field updates, then throw a ding or a warning if there are non-standard. Something like

    [0-9a-zA-Z]*

    if spaces aren't allowed, I think.

    I recognized the "hot cocoa", but the rest is all alien speak to me.

    What does "with room" mean in this context?

    Sorry, I'm not a coffee drinker, nor have I ever actually set foot in a Starbucks.

    Shocking I know. :red:

    I am, however, entirely open to and willing to learn new languages. ;-)

    It means with room left at the top of the cup for cream to be added (grande medium roast means coffee rather than a latte, so many people want to add their own condiments). An Americano is shots of espresso topped up with hot water, so it's not dissimilar but the flavor is different (owing to it being an espresso roast).

    No problem!


    I worked in a coffee shop while I was working up my first Rendo products three years or so ago (wow, time flies). It wasn't a Starbucks, but most coffee shops in the Northwest accept their terminology and methods as standard - it's a rare and stubborn shop that labels their coffee sizes by ounce amount rather than tall, grande, venti now.

    Hmmm... So let me get this straight... (Courtesy of Wikipedia)

    Venti -- (chiefly US, of a cup of coffee) larger than grande, usually 20 ounces. From the Italian venti (“twenty”).

    Grande -- (chiefly US) Of a cup of coffee at Starbucks; smaller than venti but larger than tall, usually 16 ounces. No coffee vendor other than Starbucks uses "Grande" to mean large.

    Tall -- 12 ounces?

    Thank you.

    i'm in denial there isn't a built-in function. i see a thing to convert lowercase to uppercase.

    the problem with the extra apostrophe in a sql string is like a comma delimited file, but someone put a comma in a field value, throws off the columns.

    Up early, then hours of WAIT I'm not ready to go, then we go. Then it's WAIT I'm not sure I have everything I need yet. So hours of wandering around just two stores. That was bad enough, now it's I need to go back tomorrow. I did not get everything I needed.
    What part of Disabled, walks with a cane, hold myself up with the shopping cart do they not understand?

    End of Rant, expect more later.
