Earning your own money is nice. But spending other peoples money is a lot better.

Combine the two and you are a casino owner.

Can anyone help?

Don't use Microsoft Word.

They don't really use checks here so when I get paid it's in cash and it's in dinars so it's a big stack of cash. Sometimes it's just in 5000 dinar notes so it's really big. They don't even give me an envelope so I just have to bring a bag.

Don't they print bigger notes?

A pretty girl (who I'm interested in and who allegedly is single) invited me to her birthday.
I'm not here that weekend.

Will meet her during dance class again, will somehow need to make something out of this.
Damn .

^I hope it works out for you

But be careful with 'pretty girls'. As monsieur Grandville noted and drew, they are sometimes "elegant-looking wasps"

Isn't that your description of all pretty girls?

This is perfect! First, you get to tell her that you're so sad/sorry you have to be out of town. Then say, you'd like to try to make it up to her by taking her out to: dinner/a movie/a museum/a sporting event.

As Herr Nietzsche says: "Men like two things: danger and playthings. That's why they like women because they are the most dangerous playthings."

Or at least all the ones he ever talks about here.

Based on his track record of girls mentioned here, this will, alas, not end well for The_J.

Merci

One of her male friends (also my friend) told me, so it's hopefully true .

Yeah, the dinner was the plan .
(because nothing else is happening here)

...thanks...

...thanks...

So now's your chance to buck the apparent trend and surprise us all with a chain of little The_J babies.

 

[Takhisis]

You do know he has access to a lab, don't you?

 

[The_J]

We're not doing human cells though ^^.
But eitherways, this even will definitely NOT happen (at least if I have a say in that).

 

[Takhisis]

Have you never had a tissue sample taken from you?

 

[gay_Aleks]

where do I submit a form to create a female clone of me

 

[W|M]

Just make one yourself

As Herr Nietzsche says: "Men like two things: danger and playthings. That's why they like women because they are the most dangerous playthings."

Nietzsche was a pretty big misogynist so I wouldn't take his opinions on relationships with women too seriously (plus he proposed to someone three times and was rejected every time, so what does he know?)

Microsoft Word the Spelling/Grammar library

I'm having trouble switching my Word language library from French back to English.

When I began writing my latest short story, the first four words were in French. I believe this may have been what triggered my Word software into choosing French as my spelling library. As I wrote, I did notice that the usual red and green underlining were not appearing. Last night, I poked around until I activated this feature. But when I did, almost the entire story was underlined in red because the words' spelling matched no known French words.

I began trying to switch the library from French to English. I quickly found the drop-down menu in the spelling checker. However, no mater how many time I use that menu to select "English, United States," the checker immediately switches back to French.

I kept poking around and poking around in other places until I fell asleep. Somewhere in there, I did something right because, beginning with the fifth paragraph, only the English library is used. In the first four paragraphs, the library switches back and forth from French to English. Why? I dunno.

Can anyone help?

I'm going to be insufferably please with myself for at least a week.

It's a two-step process. First, using the Start button, go to search/microsoft office/microsoft office tools and modify the list of default languages to leave only English. Then in Microsoft Word, go to review, set languages.

 

[Takhisis]

Just deactivate the language checker.

Dang right, shouldn't be second-degree theft but petty larceny, and it's entrapment.

Right?
