    - but not the parents? that's ridiculous. -- nm - loosilu Feb 27, 09:08 7

      - I am not sure if they called my wife yet, she is just starting a new job, and likely missed the call. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 27, 09:09 5

  - or "be careful what you wish for" it could be the thing that galvanizes black voters in the south against the GOP - charlie Feb 27, 09:10 5
    - [deleted] 4
      - hard to say, but anecdotally there were reports of a lot of black voters this past year responding to precisely that. -- nm - Reagen Feb 27, 09:13
      - alone, maybe not. but if it engages democrats at large maybe -- nm - charlie Feb 27, 09:12 2

        which would just be another argument for taking the keys away from the GOP in 2014 if they don't -- nm - charlie Feb 27, 09:16

You know, if Google ever got rid of "starring" links, I think my life would be ruined. -- nm - con_carne Feb 27, 08:50 12
- Wait, what? Is this incorrect then? -- (link) - mara Feb 27, 08:57 3
  - Actually have not seen that. - con_carne Feb 27, 09:09 1
    - Ah, I wondered if you meant Googler Reader. -- nm - mara Feb 27, 09:11
  - *sends condolences to con_carne* -- nm - Spawn Feb 27, 09:00
- what is starring links? -- nm - loosilu Feb 27, 08:52 7
  - bookmarking -- nm - Roger More Feb 27, 08:59 5
    - why would they get rid of that? -- nm - loosilu Feb 27, 09:06 4
      - The star feature and bookmarking are actually two different things. See mara's link. -- nm - con_carne Feb 27, 09:11
      - I think because most people prefer to bookmark pages after they visit them, to see what they're like, rather than from the results screen. -- nm - mara Feb 27, 09:07 2
        
        I guess I never noticed starred links. I don't see them now. -- nm - loosilu Feb 27, 09:08 1
        
        Well, that's my link above -- I had thought they were already discontinued. -- nm - mara Feb 27, 09:09

  - Men's Health? See if be can get you into some of their photo shoots. -- nm - Dano Feb 27, 08:40 1

Excel question: I want to type a bunch of text into a column, just some descriptive notes. How do I format it so that the text stays in - mara Feb 27, 08:27 6
- Thanks, all! -- nm - mara Feb 27, 08:44
- also, you can force lines within the text with alt-enter -- nm - zork Feb 27, 08:33
- format / alignment / wrap text box -- nm - Andie Feb 27, 08:28
- You need to turn on the text wrap. Right click the cell, go to the Alignment tab and turn on "Text Wrap" - oblique Feb 27, 08:28 1
  - should probably select the whole column first -- nm - zork Feb 27, 08:35
- Wrap text -- nm - Roger More Feb 27, 08:28

- My class was 33 people. And I'm not on Facebook so... 0. (nm) - howie Feb 27, 08:59
- My class was in the 650 range -- nm - Dano Feb 27, 08:57
- 89 in my class and I'm friends with 55 of them. Hmmm...where the hell are the other 33??? -- nm - Jim Feb 27, 08:53
- 26. There were more people in your grad class than my entire school. -- nm - Reagen Feb 27, 08:53
- I doubt there were more than 100 in mine. I friended one (via her husband) in just the last couple of years. - Meg Feb 27, 08:49
- 136 -- nm - Jovian Feb 27, 08:48
- I was one of 10 -- Catholic girls' school: I boarded. -- nm - OAE -- aka OAE Feb 27, 08:45
- 63 -- nm - Capstern Feb 27, 08:42 1
  - from my HS I have about 80 total FB friends -- nm - Capstern Feb 27, 08:43
- We had almost 900, I think. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 27, 08:37 1
  - (reading is hard) -- nm - Spawn Feb 27, 08:38
- 95. One is an FB friend but only in the last couple of weeks. -- nm - Diva Feb 27, 08:34
- we had 70 or 80. FB friends with just a few. -- nm - loosilu Feb 27, 08:34 1
  - but if I count FB friends from other years, I would say 20 ish friends from HS. -- nm - loosilu Feb 27, 08:35
- Not sure about size, 200-300 maybe. 0 FB friends. -- nm - ceregon Feb 27, 08:34
- Okay, an honest question. How do you all know how large your graduating class was? -- nm - Spawn Feb 27, 08:31 19
  - i could guess based on the fact that my highschool had about 600 people, but i have no idea of exact numbers. -- nm - Andie Feb 27, 08:58
  - We had 89 people in the Class of '89. Only way I remember it. -- nm - Jim Feb 27, 08:55 1
    - Wow. Your poor son. -- nm - Spawn Feb 27, 08:56
  - [deleted]
  - I just remember. -- nm - Diva Feb 27, 08:35 1
    - Too much haze, here. -- nm - Spawn Feb 27, 08:36
  - because of the class ranking we got when we graduated. - groiny Feb 27, 08:32 5
    - yup -- nm - znufrii Feb 27, 08:57
    - Yep. -- nm - Kim Pine Feb 27, 08:38
    - Ah, we did not get those. -- nm - Spawn Feb 27, 08:33 2
      - yeah, that factored in your grades against the class difficulty, and spit out a rank. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 27, 08:34
      - Me either. -- nm - Krusty Feb 27, 08:33
  - I looked up total enrollment and divided by four. -- nm - Krusty Feb 27, 08:32 6
    - I would think it's less than that since some drop out -- nm - zork Feb 27, 08:35 4
      - Hence the average aspect. If there are more at first and less each year, the average would be close to the same. -- nm - Spawn Feb 27, 08:40
      - Sure but I was just trying to get close not an exact number. -- nm - Krusty Feb 27, 08:36 2
        
        also depends on the drop rate at your school. some would be drastic. -- nm - zork Feb 27, 08:37 1
        
        There are some requirements for being on Facebook that I wasn't aware of -- nm - con_carne Feb 27, 08:41
    - Nice. That puts mine at a little over 400, then. -- nm - Spawn Feb 27, 08:34
- Of the 93, probably 2/3 are technically Facebook friends but since I don't see them and they can't see my stuff, they don't really exist. -- nm - spamlet Feb 27, 08:31
- 650+ and I'm friends with like four of them today. - Krusty Feb 27, 08:30
- I had 500+. I believe 3 are FB friends -- nm - decline Feb 27, 08:29
- [deleted] 9
  - yeah, our "advanced" classes were the same 30 kids, in 90% of the same classes. - groiny Feb 27, 08:41 4
    - groiny was a Krelboyne? -- nm - Roger More Feb 27, 08:43 3
      - it was mostly a bad joke. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 27, 08:44 2
        
        I just wanted the excuse to say "krelboyne" -- nm - Roger More Feb 27, 08:48 1
        
        I admit, I had to google it. -- nm - groiny Feb 27, 08:50
  - I was in a similar program until H.S. when I was put in Gen Pop. - Krusty Feb 27, 08:31 1
    - general pop..? Were you going to school in OZ? -- nm - Capstern Feb 27, 08:54
  - 'short bus' -- nm - decline Feb 27, 08:29 1
    - 5 Spawn Points for stealing my message. -- nm - Spawn Feb 27, 08:30

- 150 in class and about 40 or so -- nm - CQ Feb 27, 08:28
- right around 1100 -- nm - prayformojo Feb 27, 08:27
- 435/maybe 7 or 8 -- nm - znufrii Feb 27, 08:27 1
  - I'm right around here as well. and I block most of them from seeing anything. -- nm - amanda Feb 27, 08:30
- Mine was about that. - Spawn Feb 27, 08:26
- I think we were around 200 and I have something like 55 -- nm - oblique Feb 27, 08:26
