1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

Check my profile: I have difficulty spelling the word "the" never mind two syllables ...
Fixed.

Do facebooking librarians take a lot of shelfies?

Just like the little folks who work for Santa take a lot of elfies.

Because they're Shelfish or because they eat Shelfish?

Only if they're really stacked.

To borrow a fine thought from the OP by OG, they always prefer binding arbitration for their disputes, a signature characteristic.

Late last week I lost my youngest brother to a severe heart attack. Because he lived 7,000 miles away in Africa, I won't even be able to attend the funeral. He was only 70 years old. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

There are never good words to say at a time like this ... but it's only made worse by not being able to attend the funeral. Our sincere condolences to you and yours, and to his family

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.

sorry dude, I have been there. Lost both my brothers. Being away does not make things easier.
Small piece of advice. Take time, at least a few hours(perhaps more), to go alone somewhere or with someone you care for(wife etc..) and just sit down and remember him. Do the remembrance of him. Give yourself that time. It will help.
To err is human to really elephant it up you need a computer

Sorry for your loss.
I have two elder bothers whom I am estranged from but I would still be upset if they died.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
