No, but several have come here on airplanes or long car trips. (Just friends! :lol )

8. You have to get a second phone line so you can order pizza.

Papa John's....order online!

Ducks' posts start to make sense! :lol

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Man, I think that's why I try to be as correct as I can when I respond online. I don't want it to carry the wrong way into my reporting.

I know it's bad when I start using AP style in my posts, though.

Typing the numbers one through ten out instead of simply writing 1-10, etc.

That's not just AP style, Joe.....that's just normal rules of grammar. :lol

And I don't care how long I've been online or how much time I spend here, I'm too anal retentive to forego the grammar part.... :oops

Do you REALLY want to know how long it's been since I've been in an English class (having to retake one this semester to replace an old grade)?

Everything's AP style to me.

http://www.ricehahn.com/books/images/ap_style_medialaw.jpg

One copy @ home. One (my own, not the 4 others I have sitting on my desk) @ the newsroom.

I can't remember what it is right now, but there's especially one rule that grammar and AP style are totally opposite on that pisses me off completely. I used to get marked off tons in high school because I was so used to writing in AP style.

I had an issue with Hoopsworld with that when I wrote for them. I used normal rules of grammar along with what I was taught in journalism class back in high school. They would tell me I was wrong and no one cares about "traditional grammar rules" and such. That hastened my departure from that site along with other stuff.

You are at work early.

Not because you left home early, but because you've been on the work computer since your last shift!

You have a Norton's toolbar sitting underneath a spyware toolbar :rollin

"My Web Search" is horrible spyware. It actually takes over computer and then one day you can't surf at all .. you just keep getting re-directed to a bunch of crap that starts downloading stuff on your computer. No matter what URL you type, it just keeps downloading. Really tell them to get that out of there.

One other question, I downloaded a program vuse a while back and I'm pretty sure it was for torrents, it added a toolbar so I deleted the program but the toolbar still shows. WTF should I do to get it off?

[timvp]

I just removed the program, is that sufficient?Make sure you deleted all programs associated with it. It usually likes to install it a couple different programs. Anything that says "my way" or "search assistant" should also be removed. Then run Spybot and Ad-Aware and that will find anything else left over.

[Brutalis]

Create a restore point with SpyBot as it as been known to kill registry files and fuuk your stuff up nicely.
