  - i think i've actually had that at my old local. not bad iirc -- nm - znufrii Apr 4, 16:30
  - that's ridiculous. Rude names are a cherished tradition. Even the belgian monks do it. -- nm - loosilu Apr 4, 16:04
- There's no way I'd drink something with that label. -- nm - Reagen Apr 4, 15:38
My English S-I-L suggested today that I visit for their 40th anniversary in December. I've gotten very hesitant about flying - not from a - MojaveMeg Apr 4, 15:30 18
- I'm w/ CC, below -- sail all the way. You can sail through... - OAE Apr 4, 16:25
- It breaks up sorta evenly if you fly Cali - NY or Boston and then onward to London. -- nm - ty97 Apr 4, 15:53 1
  - Exactly. Two 5 or 6 hour flights rather than one of over 10 hours. -- nm - MojaveMeg Apr 4, 15:55
- Reroute through New Jersey! -- nm - con_carne Apr 4, 15:48
- translation: Meg needs to meet even more STers -- nm - moles Apr 4, 15:46 8
  - The correct answer is: Toronto -- nm - Roger More Apr 4, 17:11
  - she could fly into Boston so that NY and Washington people can meet up with her -- nm - Remlik Apr 4, 15:49 6
    - You realize Boston is 450 miles from DC, right? -- nm - loosilu Apr 4, 16:05 1
      - so take a train up there lazy -- nm - Remlik Apr 4, 16:19
    - D.C. would be good. I think that's the highest concentration of people I have yet to meet :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Apr 4, 15:54 3
      - United will offer a Dulles connection, I'm sure. -- nm - ty97 Apr 4, 15:58 2

        We wouldn't mind the stopover. And if make it at least a day maybe you can go to the Field Museum. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with Apr 4, 16:59

- Cruise it! -- (link) - CovingtonCat Apr 4, 15:39 3

Reagen-inspired poll: How fast a walker are you? I'm a fast walker. -- nm - loosilu Apr 4, 15:26 24
- Not as fast as my sister. But above average. -- nm - the liioulu with Apr 4, 17:01
- One N/S NYC block a minute. -- nm - OAE Apr 4, 16:27
- Very fast but I slow down for the people I walk with. Tourists better move or they may get pushed to the side. -- nm - Krusty Apr 4, 16:24
- Fast walker...but I'm short so it evens out. -- nm - Kim Pine Apr 4, 16:10 4
  - same here. -- nm - kelly Apr 4, 16:22
  - with David doing the Caveman shuffle you should be able to walk faster than him -- nm - Remlik Apr 4, 16:21 2
    - I've played Halo against you, so I know how good you are at running. -- nm - David Apr 4, 16:31 1
      - You're the king of backing away. -- nm - Remlik Apr 4, 16:39
- I can be fast when I want to - mostly because of long stride/long legs - but if I'm in new places I like to walk leisurely - taking it all in you know -- nm - JenBro Apr 4, 16:02
- I'm a pretty fast walker. I get really annoyed when people half my age get infront of me and walk slowly. (nm) - howie Apr 4, 16:00
- Pretty fast, by default. I'm long-leggety. -- nm - con_carne Apr 4, 15:51
- Fast, to the point where people I was with thought I was embarrassed to be seen with them -- nm - J Apr 4, 15:48 1
  - this - Spawn Apr 4, 16:13
- fast as I wanna be -- nm - CQ Apr 4, 15:42
- fast, generally fast than people who are out walking for excercise -- nm - Karl_S Apr 4, 15:41

The most prolific serial killer America has ever forgotten. -- (link) - mara Apr 4, 15:07 18 1
- Very sad. I had no idea. -- nm - Epiphany Apr 4, 16:55
- Never heard of him and I'm surprised, that's a lot of killing. -- nm - Krusty Apr 4, 16:28 7
  - [deleted] 2
    - Yes very likely. I am so thankful for technology. Can you believe they never put that together? -- nm - Epiphany Apr 4, 17:04 1
      - In such a small town it's very surprising. That's a lot of kids in a short time. -- nm - Krusty Apr 4, 17:10
  - Maybe because there was no arrest and no trial, I guess. -- nm - mara Apr 4, 16:54 3
    - And no CNN -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Apr 4, 16:55 2
      - But no books either. There are hundreds of books about serial killers and I've read a few but nothing about this guy. -- nm - Krusty Apr 4, 17:08
      - Was there for Ted Bundy or Ed Gein? -- nm - mara Apr 4, 17:03
- Good lord. -- nm - MDH Apr 4, 15:31
- I don't remember this. I remember Juan Corona but that's because I met him before the bodies were found. - CovingtonCat Apr 4, 15:20 7
  - Wow, way too close of a call. -- nm - Krusty Apr 4, 16:26
  - OK. You win the "brush with a serial killer" story. Closest thing I got is that Bundy took a girl from this campus. -- nm - Mop (212 lbs) Apr 4, 16:06 2
    - Closest I have is that I hung out in the park where the Son of Sam got the park ticket that got him busted. - Krusty Apr 4, 16:37 1
      - *parking ticket* -- nm - Krusty Apr 4, 16:38
  - I met Andrew Cunanan at a party in San Diego, seemed full of himself but not the serial killer type - ceregon Apr 4, 15:29
  - this totally gave me goose bumps - creepy -- nm - JenBro Apr 4, 15:28 1
    - You should've heard my mother scream when she saw the news on TV. - CovingtonCat Apr 4, 15:41
I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this, but figured I'd ask the excel wizards here for their thoughts - znufrii Apr 4, 15:07 22
- need clarification. col 1 = names and col 2 = dates? -- nm - loosilu Apr 4, 15:08 21
  - on sheet 1, yes -- nm - znufrii Apr 4, 15:08 20
    - sfek, sheet 2 will have each name once followed by up to four dates -- nm - znufrii Apr 4, 15:09 15
      - how many names are we talking about? -- nm - loosilu Apr 4, 15:09 14
        
        250-ish? - znufrii Apr 4, 15:11 13
        
        oh lord, don't do manual anything. VLOOKUP -- nm - loosilu Apr 4, 15:11 12
        
        any idea how I would get VLOOKUP to return up to 4 different dates for the same search value? -- nm - znufrii Apr 4, 15:14 11
        
        do the names repeat in col1? how many cols for the date? -- nm - loosilu Apr 4, 15:15 10
        
        on sheet one, yes, names will likely appear more than once, each with a different date. I need to capture up to the first four instances. - znufrii Apr 4, 15:16 9
        
        I think pivot tables. -- nm - loosilu Apr 4, 15:20
        
        This is starting to sound like a pivot table situation... -- nm - con_carne Apr 4, 15:18 7
        
        DUH! - znufrii Apr 4, 15:19 6
        
        OH!!!! you could do "countif". -- nm - loosilu Apr 4, 15:20 5
        
        brilliant! *kisses you on both cheeks* - znufrii Apr 4, 15:21 4
        
        dont' know if this will help, but sometimes I put in an additional column with a number series. - loosilu Apr 4, 15:24 3
        
        the harder part will be cleaning up the data on sheet 1 to make sure the company names are all consistent with what I have on sheet 2. - znufrii Apr 4, 15:28 2
        
        if the first part of the names is always correct, you can do "left([number of chars]) to choose the first part of the word. - loosilu Apr 4, 16:02 1
        
        if i had been the one designing the database, i would've done something like the IM, but alas -- nm - znufrii Apr 4, 16:29
    - highlight your field, paste special, the check "transpose" to change it to rows. - loosilu Apr 4, 15:09 3
      - that still requires autofilter and a manual operation for each name, but it's very helpful, thanks! -- nm - znufrii Apr 4, 15:10 2
        
        abort! abort! -- nm - loosilu Apr 4, 15:12 1
        
        STAY ON TARGET! - Porkins Apr 4, 15:14
Bill and Ted 3 on the way....script is 6 weeks out from being done.... -- (link) - Remlik Apr 4, 15:06 4
- 6 weeks out? So i guess they start writing it in - what? - 4 weeks? -- nm - Mop (212 lbs) Apr 4, 15:16 1
  - 5 weeks I suspect -- nm - Remlik Apr 4, 15:18
- These were 2 of my fav movies as a kid, I really didn't need a sequel. -- nm - MDH Apr 4, 15:07
- Alex Winter, shockingly, is available. -- nm - Reagen Apr 4, 15:07
RI mansion Nic Cage paid $15.7M for finally sells for $6.2M -- (link) - CovingtonCat Apr 4, 15:00 2
- It's a pretty nice house, but the furnishings leave a lot to be desired. I wonder how old it is. -- nm - Mop (212 lbs) Apr 4, 15:20 1
  - Yeah, it's literally stuffed with *stuff*. You'd think he could make a bundle just having a yard sale. -- nm - CovingtonCat Apr 4, 15:23
Who wants to see more funny iPone autocorrect fails? -- (link) - con_carne Apr 4, 15:00 6
- "I'm loling so hard I have laughy hands and can't text" is damn funny -- nm - Beryllium Apr 4, 15:07
- i never use autocorrect on my phones it's always stupid -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 4, 15:01 2
  - (looks like my post could have used some autocorrect) -- nm - con_carne Apr 4, 15:02 1
    - he - Danedukenuuk Apr 4, 15:06
- don't give me any ideas - I find them enough on my own - just ask anyone that's been on ST West Coast Hour! -- nm - JenBro Apr 4, 15:01 1
  - "surprisingly easy!" -- nm - moles Apr 4, 15:02
i think i'm a good traveler but i don't really interact with strangers much -- nm - moles Apr 4, 14:59 6
- I think that's a plus. I don't really like being "chums" with fellow travelers - 'cause usually those that want to get all "chumsy" are PITA's -- nm - JenBro Apr 4, 16:04
- I usually get asked for directions whereever I am. - Reagen Apr 4, 15:09 4
  - or you're slow enough for them to catch. -- nm - loosilu Apr 4, 15:16 1
    - Ha! I'm a notorious Fast walker. -- nm - Reagen Apr 4, 15:17
  - I get that, too. I usually chalk it up to looking unlikely to be packing heat. -- nm - con_carne Apr 4, 15:12
  - Or people assume you can see where they want to go from way up there -- nm - Roger More Apr 4, 15:10
~You stepped into my life and I'm oh so happy~ -- nm - CovingtonCat Apr 4, 14:57
