If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

And my wife and I will be celebrating twenty-five years on Tuesday.
Who is that? I'm 26 years on Thursday. Congrats on 25 years for you.

My grandparents are celebrating 60(!) years of marriage next week.
No one knows how they did it, but we think it's because grandpa is never at home (he's always out working, fishing or collecting scrap metal)

It is very easy, just say this: "Yes, dear". "I agree".
Headed for our 57th.
Arguing with a woman is like reading the Software License Agreement. In the end, you ignore everything and click "I agree".

You've beaten me. It will my 54th at the end of the month.
The easiest way is to keep out of sight. I use a bedroom upstairs as my "office" which she keeps out of; she can't stand the mess. Every Monday she throws a duster through the door for me to "make it look clean and tidy". I suspect she secretly cleans it when I go to play bowls. It hasn't been tidied up, but you can see things have been moved and the furniture does seem to have a little more shine.
Still, you've got to love them, haven't you?

The secret to long-term relationships is to treat each other as friends, sometimes joke, sometimes be silent together and be supportive.

Not near enough visual effects for that - no blood, no dead bodies, no explosion - it is like a scientific tool...

I like the "almost accidentally detonated in 1961" entry - didn't know about that.

Good thing this isn't wired in for real. I would just just launched on Redmond, or where-ever that director of dumbassery lives.

Apologies for hijacking the post but I was just panning round the map when I was attracted to the area of the US from west of Washington DC in a south westerly direction down to Birmingham, Alabama. That area can only have been created by water erosion, but can you imagine the amount of water that would have been required. They were very turbulent times at the end of the last Ice Age.

That one made me LOL!! Strong reaction to a font. This is how technology affects us.
There are raster fonts to choose from.

Yes, I use Raster Fonts 7x12.
Of course, I'm sure Microsoft can mess even those up.

Microsoft is quite amazing at messing up anything.
An aside: Today I was watching an old (2010) Ted talk where this guy was introducing all this stuff that Maps were going to link in and everything was going crazy about the functionality.
Blaise Agüera y Arcas: Augmented-reality maps | TED Talk[^]
Only 3 minutes long or so.
Then I noticed, this was a Microsoft guy.
Then I thought, wait, why haven't we heard of this fantastic tech that was going to push Microsoft maps to the top?
Everyone I know uses Google Maps (and some of course use apple maps).
So, why don't we know about this stuff that caused the crowd that day to give a standing Ovation?
Answer (you probably guessed it too)
All because Microsoft didn't have a hardware platform (phone) that would make the stuff ubiquitous as Google and Apple have.
Big fail!
