I woke up with nary a headache or grogginess, my disposition has been decidedly sunny.
Unfortunately the low grade headache returned with some nausea around noon, I’ve been drinking vast quantities of water which seems to work as advertised.
I caught a whiff coffee this morning, but it didn’t smell good to me. Thankfully it had matured long enough in the pot I would never have drunk it anyway.
It’s now 3pm, and I need a nap. Good night all ..zzzZZZ

I love winding up people who are suffering caffeine withdrawal - you rile them up for 20 seconds, and then step back. By the time they've raised their fist to hit you, they normally fall asleep.

Now listen here you young whippersnapper I ought to tan your hide, oh now my backs playing up, see what you've done.
If my leg didn't hurt so much I'd chase you down.
Oh I'm dizzy, I'd better sit back down.

Ok, don't know how many of you care out there about your shoes, but personally, I like a shoe that not only looks good, but it also comfortable. I mostly wear Dr. Martens. I love the cushioniness of their soles and also their self foot molding inner-sole of the shoe. Since most of their shoes are between 80 - 100 bucks (US), I find the a great value.
The one problem is, sometimes they go into this stretch where they don't make any nice looking dress (suite wear) shoes. They make plenty for casual and business dress, but nothing for when you want to break out a suite.
Can anyone recommend some shoe manufacturers that produce shoe similar to what I am looking for.
Thank you in advance.

I'm sorry, but most of the lounge denizens are male; hence less than 100% likely to really give a rats-arse about the hide of dead cows encasing their feet. Remember, most blokes normally have no more than 4 pairs of shoes:
1. Work shoes.
2. A pair of boots (possibly waterproof) for walking/shooting/hiking/trekking around with guns looking to denude the world of small furry animals
3. Athletic shoes of some description (whether or not said denizen is athletic).
4. The really comfy pair of shoes that you like, but your wife hates and throws out at least once a fortnight (the number of hobos I've had to chase to get my shoes back).

I have 6, an extra pair of running shoes that I refuse to part with (and is the source of a thousand arguments with my wife) and another that is uncategorizable ( a gift from my mom, can't be returned, can't be given away or thrown but cannot be worn with ANY outfit under ANY condition, I vow, its the item of clothing that cannot be matched with anything!)

I bought a $300 pair of shoes at JC Penney's a few years back, imported Brazilian leather. The molded perfectly to my feet and are very comfortable once worn in, the soles are replaceable, and they are a fine mix between casual (I can wear them with dockers) and professional; Although light brown I use a brown belt to tie them to black pants. The only thing I can't wear them with is a jacket unless it is in Florida as we wear light colored business attire down south.
Point is, it my seem like a lot at first for something as simple as a pair of shoes but the more you pay the more you get.
Of course I still have a pair of traditional burgundy oxfords that I keep spit shined with a mirror polish that are less formal than my other pair as well as a good pair of Hiking boots which always goes nice with causal Friday, and you can even sneak them in on other days because of the appearance.
Also, I keep a pair of cowboy boots for those days when you just really feel like being a Texan and a pair of formal black shoes for when I really need it.
Appearance is important because it is what others notice. The first thing I do when I want to size someone up is check their footwear. It says a lot about what they think of themselves. Unlike expensive watches, expensive shoes are often a practical purchase.

I wear birkenstock sandels (comfortable, durable, show off my jagged toenails), cheap slip-on suede shoes that look like they could be steel-toed but aren't (no one bugs me if i wander onto the floor though), and some lowa hiking boots i picked up a few years back that are amazingly comfortable on uneven ground but will kill my knees if i forget and wear them on flat hard surfaces. I also keep a set of LaCrosse boots around, from back when they were actually made in La Crosse... don't often use them out here, but they're solid and i figure i'll probably need them again some day.
If i buy shoes and they don't last at least a year or two, i don't buy them again. If they hurt my feet, i don't buy them again. Those are my criteria. I hate dress shoes, even with insoles they hurt my soles. I've pretty much given up on athletic shoes, as they tend to be flimsy and crush my toes.
---- You're right. These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets .

I have managed to not need to use a cursor in a database for the last 6 years ... today I had to do so 
Excluding, of course cursors require to bring data out of a database. There are a few things I could have done to avoid a cursor but the would have been a little silly.

i was under the impression that cursors used up more resources and performed slower.
sort of like me performing under the influence. slow and clumsy

u$ is trying hard to get msdn subscribers to use thier support site[^]. A wizzard guides through a series of questions, then it stops on an information screen but does not allow you to submit your question.
In theory you can submit your question (you get 4 with msdn subscription) and a tech is suppose to contact you.
I have not had to request msdn support in over a year, and asking your question via web page would be great, since it takes microsoft a long time to route your call.
oh well.

Companies see support as nothing but a drain on the bottom line.
It's no surprise that they treat it this way.

Even if your question got through, they have a special place to put support e-mails: it's called the "Trash" folder

u$ for paying customers is pretty good. I use them as a last resort when I can not get the answer any other way. However that initial call to thier tech support line is painful, while they try to find out how you are going to pay (subscription, pay per incident) and how they will route your call. The submission of your question through a web page, is new to me, it wasn't around last year.

It is probably due to the new technology (rich user interface - ajax and others) implemented at its web site. I could not download files from the subscriber download area after the "rich interface" was added. I had to switch between IE and firefox several times to get one file downloaded.

Yes, I hate Microsoft websites - if it's not the fact that it's only IE-compatible, you have to download Silverlight (which after downloading didn't even work), or download a "Genuine Windows Checker" or God knows what
