It's like when you turn off the lights because you didn't think anyone is still in the room. I had no idea people were still using Yahoo email.

I do. They had one of the best online email client until they turned "web 2.0" around last year or so. They initially removed the best features (tabbed view among others), which caused a big big complain from the users, and finally turned them on again. And added a bunch of very good things on top of it. Plus their Imap is very good. And they have unlimited storage, and no intrusive ads. I really cannot complain.
I have outlook at home now, so only visit their page from my mobile phone.
I have never been able to understand and use the gmail interface, I get lost everytime in this conversation view, searching who answered to what. Not my thing. 
I recently had to debug the computer of my aunt. She has an ... AOL email account

I remember them back in about 2002. Horrible. Terrible. Lousy.
Glad to see they turned it around since then.

 I subscribe in 2002. It was horrible, but there was not that much alternatives back then... I found hotmail terrible.
Here about the tabs thing[^]

Your post reminded me I have an almost-unused yahoo mail account. Dragged the password out, logged in. 5 mail, which I would class as spam, and 297 that they had kindly classified as spam. I hope they will be relieved that their storage requirement is down a few hundred kilobytes. And yes, I went in with an adblocking browser (I use ublock).
Cheers,

It is forbidden to talk about Christmas until after Thanksgiving.

My missus, on July the 25th, stated "well, Christmas is near!".
I love her, but sometimes I really wonder why

I was just thinking the same thing!
My wife and I spent the weekend sphlepping furniture halfway across the state of Florida, 763 miles to be exact, and towing a U-Haul trailer on the way back. The furniture is being transferred from one step-child to another, and is currently taking up half of my garage. That's not why I'm aggravated though...
Last Thursday, the wife calls to tell me that the 28 y/o step-son that will be needing the furniture will be at our house for the weekend...as she says, it works out perfect as he can watch the dog. 
That doesn't sit well with me since I have cancelled my weekend plans (to make $) to move furniture while he relaxes on my sofa, bonding with my dog, eating my food, and watching my TV! Apparently he had an awesome relaxing weekend hanging out with his girlfriend and getting in a round of golf on Saturday. We returned home on Sunday to find lights and tvs on all over the house, garbage can overflowing with beer bottles, and bed sheets in the washer!  I finally unloaded the trailer by myself yesterday afternoon and turned it in this morning.
Now, I have thanksgiving to look forward to since we will be hosting 25 or so of her family members.

I have a problem with the entire concept of that weekend, he is 28, he is the recipient of the furniture largess and he gets to goof off over the weekend while YOU drive and hump his furniture. There has got to be more to it!

There was...his mother volunteered us for the whole operation. As she said, he didn't come home to move furniture, he came home to celebrate his promotion which is the reason he will be needing the furniture. Also, in his mind, we are helping his sister more than him since she would have to put the furniture in storage or sell it...he's getting second-hand furniture and not real thrilled about it.

I'm speechless. I'm 27 and my parents helped me a lot with the furniture - all the kitchen was mounted by them (they have a large experience in that and are a perfectly synergic couple); on my defense in the meantime I was fighting with the furniture shop because they made me pay for a piece they did not deliver and did not have in storage (and was out of production as well), and when I finally came back as winner in a couple of hours they already had finished.

Canada and the U.S. both celebrate a holiday called Thanksgiving. Canada has theirs in October, the U.S. in November. For more detail see:

True, but it's of prime importance to even be considered "good code". So called "good code" that doesn't work, doesn't matter.

Agreed, code that doesn't work is not good code, no matter how good it looks and how well organized it is.

I never really gave it much thought, but I suppose the other side should actually be called "You're welcome-taking".
