They don't even sell that stuff at liquor stores over here.
Need to get mine at specific (fantasy) festivals or order online

My wife's a beekeeper and makes the stuff by the gallon; the garage is full. Apparently its pretty good (it's won in competitions) but neither of us are too keen on mead AND neither of us can drink more than a thimbleful of alcohol anyway (doesn't go well with heart medication). Great for Christmas presents though!

I've brought a bottle to work a couple of times, so we could have a little Friday afternoon mead tasting (most people here never even tasted mead), but I don't think I've ever heard someone say they liked it.
Maybe because they're expecting wine, which it isn't, maybe because it's sweeter than they think, but no one liked it.
I don't mind, more for me! Cheers!

Our local grocery only stocks mead during the months when there is a festival in the area. They run a “must go” sale when the festival ends.

Yes, I sometimes find a bottle of ice wine, hopefully from the Michigan peninsula. Slightly costly, but a fine dessert wine.

That's the way it works. Do something nice and for free, and now everyone expects it, for free.
I'm always amused when I write a utility, mainly to make my job easier, that I wrote off hours (because I also love programming and learning new things and making my life easier and I don't really care that this wasn't on company time and some pieces have become articles) and now everyone is using these utilities (they're actually web pages that do useful things) and I get these "oh, can you add this feature" requests.
So...is your break from TotD over?

Then fill in for him. Here's a thought to play with, maybe not for a day: "He who laughs last - may be deranged."
Of course, it isn't the same kind of thought, but a thought is still a thought.

A wife was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her husband.
Suddenly, her husband burst into the kitchen.
'Careful,' he said, 'CAREFUL! Put in some more butter! Oh my gosh! You're cooking too many at once. TOO MANY! Turn them! TURN THEM NOW! We need more butter. Oh my gosh! WHERE are we going to get MORE BUTTER? They're going to STICK! Careful. CAREFUL! I said be CAREFUL! You NEVER listen to me when you're cooking! Never! Turn them! Hurry up! Are you CRAZY? Have you LOST your mind? Don't forget to salt them. You know you always forget to salt them. Use the! Salt. USE THE SALT! THE SALT!'
The wife stared at him. 'What in the world is wrong with you?You think I don't know how to fry a couple of eggs?'
The husband calmly replied, 'I just wanted to show you what it feels like when I'm driving.'

I am living that scenario, and have been for 40 years or so!
Not sure whether to laugh or cry at this. Perhaps I'll do both.

I haven't been married for 15 years or so but my current SO and I don't argue because we've learned; 1) to pick our fights and 2) we've learned how to fight, plus we're very compatible.

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

I posted this (what I thought was a simple) question to a DevExpress forum:
Is it possible to change the default font in the report designer from Times New Roman to MS Sans Serif for all new reports?
I got back this:
To achieve this goal, you can use the MakeChanges method as follows:
with this code
private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {
XtraReport1 report = new XtraReport1();
designer.DocumentOpened += Designer_DocumentOpened;
report.CreateDocument();
designer.DocumentSource = report;
}
private void Designer_DocumentOpened(object sender, ReportDesignerDocumentEventArgs e) {
var report = e.Document.Report;
e.Document.MakeChanges(changes => {
changes.SetProperty(designer.ActiveDocument.Report, x => x.Font, new System.Drawing.Font("Calibri", 9.75F, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point, ((byte)(0))));
});
}
I mean, huh????
So I just posted this back
No no no - This isn't a coding issue
I want to have all new reports use MS Sans Serif 10pt instead of Times New Roman. Is there no settings somewhere where I can change this??
To be even more clear, when I click File => Add New => DevExpress Report, and the designer opens, I want the default font for all report objects to be MS Sans Serif 10pt instead of Times New Roman.
Apparently I have to break it down for them. Lets see what they come up with next.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

Now, where the heck is the "Format / layout issues" button when you need it?
