- regular pasta (a broad flat noodle, fettucine, etc) would be okay. slightly different taste, but it will be fine. -- nm - Andie Apr 23, 07:27 4
  - yes, you are fine, the optimum noodle width is maintained, those bow ties are merely crinkled, I would go so far as to say it improves - zeitgeist Apr 23, 12:45
  - I was going to use farfalle, I have a few boxes that I want to use up. would that work? -- nm - kelly Apr 23, 07:29 2

    - But can you put a price on my fat ass going down a 1000 ft slip and slide? Really? -- nm - oblique Apr 23, 07:24 3
      - Whoa...that's really big. Do the Go Pro. You'll lose whatever camera you're using on a selfie stick. They're not very secure. -- nm - Jim Apr 23, 07:31 2
        
        obviously you need to secure that puppy with *duck* tape -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 23, 12:47

  - I am 56 so I guess I am eligible, but don't ask out loud in front of my son and a restaurant full of young kids -- nm - amoxy Apr 23, 06:57 4
    - Right, be more subtle about it. No need to announce it to the whole place. -- nm - Krusty Apr 23, 06:59 3
      - I tend to think: don't ask. If they want the senior discount, they'll say. -- nm - ty97 Apr 23, 07:22 1
        
        Pretty much. People let you know when they're owed a discount. -- nm - Krusty Apr 23, 07:33

- Yeah, I tried that and didn't get it to work. Admittedly, I was on fumes so I may have missed something and will go back and try that.. - Mel Profit Apr 23, 04:46 4
  - I just thought of something else. Do you want to add statuses in the future or will it only be these? - iSpam Apr 23, 05:50 1
    - Not likely. I may rejigger what I have or add one or two but I'll use that as practice for If Statements. - Mel Profit Apr 23, 05:57
  - Isblank is the better way but Excel sometimes had trouble recognizing a blank if there was ever data or formatting in the cell. - iSpam Apr 23, 05:44 1
