Nope. Since I write mainly in VB I find the Linq syntax to be very cumbersome and hard to use. When I write in C# I'm far more likely to use Linq simply because the lambda syntax is far easier to read and use. In neither case do I use Linq -> SQL

It is the recommended way for SharePoint 2010 CRUD according to "SharePoint 2010 Dev with VS2010" by E. Carter et al.
I use it and love having some of that back end taken care of (and i've really grown to like Linq). but as someone else said i use straight up SQL when the going gets tough.

Tried it for a project but quickly had to abandon it. Found it too rigid. If you try using against a many databases. When one database adds a field, it completely breaks querying the table.
Though I enjoyed learning about CROSS APPLY from examining it but discovered that it hits a cap where it performs better than anything else in a limited use environment, but once you pass a threshold it takes down systems.

Both in body and in sole. Perhaps this reply will lace a bit toe long.

So my aunt broke her ankle about 4 months ago and I took over the care of her two elderly cats, approximately 14 and 17. Well, the 17 year old has started to take that downhill ski slope to the Pearly Gates finish line, and as my aunt is now 80% rehabilitated I'll be bringing little Benjamin back to her on Friday. I'm realizing I've developed a bit of an emotional attachment to the little guy and am getting teary-eyed even writing this post.

That's rough and my condolences. Take heart in the fact you gave him a great home when he needed it and made him comfortable and happy at the end.

That'll be a wrench - they worm their way into your life remarkably well.
Good looking cat, but 17 isn't necessarily the end of the world - indoor cats can reach that with relative ease, and we had an indoor/outdoor cat when I was young that lived to 28 or so; she was still rat, squirrel, and dog hunting until a month or so before she passed. Survived dog fights, rat fights, car fights, falls, and stupidity all ok, but got killed by cancers caused by fallout from Chernobyl.

My wife joined my life about 11 years ago with two cats and a dog. We've since added another dog, lost the first, and added 1 cat and two horses (both OTTB ex-race horses aged 6 and 7 who will live up to their 30s most likely). All rescues. No kids, mind you, as I had that earlier with my daughter who is now off in college.
Of the two cats that my wife brought into my life, they were a mother and son. The son was so attached to my wife that there was no chance I would fit in edgewise. But the mother and I found a good spot together. She's 22 now, and outlived her son (who passed away earlier this year at 20).
I affectionately refer to her as the zombie cat because we can't exactly define the supernatural power that keeps her hanging on, but she knows where the food, water and litter box are located, and gets plenty of affection. She sleeps 23 out of 24 hours a day, is mostly deaf and certainly senile, and I have to admit that my reaching down to pet her each morning is mostly making sure she has made it through the night. But wife and I have both agreed that as long as she still does everything and responds to affection with a purr, then we will refrain from taking her to see the vet.
There is nothing like the love I have for my kid, but the love I have for any of the animals that have wriggled their way into my life is a very close second. I completely understand what you are up against...we welcome them into our lives, knowing full well that we will outlive them and end up saying goodbye much too soon. But don't let that stop you! If you have the room in your heart and home, go down to your local shelter and make a new friend.

My orange tabby, Caesar, hit 16 earlier in the year. He's still going strong. A little gimpy, but, that's been a long term thing for him. He was a bit overweight for a while...
The one that nearly broke me was last year when we lost his sister, Cleopatra, to melanoma. (Black cats are more susceptible to that particular cancer, having more melanocytes.)
They do worm their way in.

He even looks a bit like my old cat.
I had plenty of people think he wasn't particularly friendly because that cat didn't just let anyone approach him and give him a belly rub. I must've been "in the club", because I swear that cat loved the s**t out of me. In the summer, I'd sit down on the front porch and he'd never jump on anyone's lap but mine.
Even though he's been gone for maybe 8 years now, I don't want another cat, because (s)he would have a lot to live up to. And I'm fine with that.
