I have some sympathy for Lindsay Lohan. You've seen her parents, right? -- nm - Dano Jul 7, 06:44 17
- she's also still really young. but, nothing has taught her that she will eventually have to face the consequences of her actions. maybe this will. - Andie Jul 7, 06:54 4
  - either this, or a near death thing. Although if she really is an addict, this probably won't change that. -- nm - decline Jul 7, 06:57 2
    - i think she really is. i guess i'm just hoping this is her 'bottom'. but, yeah, a near death thing may be needed. -- nm - Andie Jul 7, 06:59 1
      - I think she's an addict, and just messed up. If you need a fix you send your assistant to buy booze. You don't go to an MTV party and set off - loosilu Jul 7, 07:01

    - to be fair, I was about to do some crazy things for ice cream cake too when I found out my local grocer stopped carrying Carvel -- nm - hotkiss7348 Jul 7, 06:57 5
      - But you see Dina wasn't dealing with a shortage of Carvel in her area. She was just abusing a privilege. - HdnAgnda Jul 7, 07:04
      - I don't ever think I've had a Carvel cake. And I'm positive I've never had a Fudgy the Whale cake. - JaxSean Jul 7, 06:58 3
        
        The only ice cream store chain I can think of that isn't overpriced is DQ. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jul 7, 07:06
        
        You are missing out. mmm, Carvel. -- nm - kelly Jul 7, 06:59 1
        
        I've had their ice cream. They had/have a few stores here. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 7, 07:00
    - Seriously, what an insane sense of entitlement. -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 06:54
  - it's hard to tell which one is worse, mom or dad. -- nm - decline Jul 7, 06:48 1
    - agreed. -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 06:50
  - This'll be a nice little break for her from Dina and Michael. -- nm - Mop Jul 7, 06:47

      - Shhhh! - amoxy Jul 7, 06:44 1
        
        *raised eyebrow* - Will Hunting Jul 7, 06:49
- Also, we insist that our patients watch Grease during the procedure. -- nm - Dentist SI Jul 7, 06:39 1
  - I think I'd rather have the teeth pulled without novocaine. :p -- nm - kelly Jul 7, 06:45
- why wouldn't diabetics get anti-biotics? -- nm - Beaker Jul 7, 06:38
- I have never taken antibiotics for a pulled tooth. - groiny Jul 7, 06:38 13
  - certain conditions are susceptible to highly dangerous infections around dental work. - Mel Profit Jul 7, 06:46 2
    - I also take the duration of the 'betes into account, too. - kelly Jul 7, 06:48 1
      - absolutely. protect yourself. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 7, 06:50
  - Well, I have a much higher risk of infections - a longer healing time - and blood sugar levels come into play here. - kelly Jul 7, 06:41 2
    - oh, that makes sense. FWIW I think I should have had antibiotics (since I ended up with an infection) -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 06:42
    - I see. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 7, 06:42
  - me neither. Had 8 pulled. -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 06:38 6
    - that musta looked sexay! nm -- nm - groiny Jim Bob Jul 7, 06:40 5
      - Way sexier than the jumbled, overcrowded, impacted mess I started with. - loosilu Jul 7, 06:43 4
        
        But did they need to take em from the front? - Will Hunting Jul 7, 06:49 3
        
        Of course not, silly. They extracted the bicuspidds to make room, then I wore braces. -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 06:51 2
        
        I'm pretty sure my dental work could qualify as a experiment gone wrong along the lines - Will Hunting Jul 7, 06:54 1
        
        mine was not quite so insane, but very long and difficult. My dad insisted we had to go to the best ortho in town - loosilu Jul 7, 06:57
My roommate from Essex, UK says Avril Lavigne is super popular over there. "She sucks," I said. "What are you talking about? She's had 3 *brilliant* - hotkiss7348 Jul 7, 06:35 21
- Super popular in Essex, maybe, the rest of the country has better taste. -- nm - LMS Jul 7, 06:47
- Why'd he have to go make things so complicated? -- nm - Mop Jul 7, 06:46
- (I also think all three of her albums were near pop-rock perfection.) -- nm - JaxSean Jul 7, 06:39
- ah, how to get along with people. -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 06:37
- He's Gay. -- nm - MDH Jul 7, 06:36 15
  - I thought as much, since he also loves Glee and Taylor Swift, but he says he has a girlfriend back home. -- nm - hotkiss7348 Jul 7, 06:38 14
    - No straight guys that age watch Glee unless they are made too. "Girlfriend?" -- nm - MDH Jul 7, 06:39 11
      - Being British throws everyone off though. - ty97 Jul 7, 06:49

        when you're not being wheeled around by the wife in Vegas you can talk... -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 7, 07:06
        
        "Gay-ish" -- nm - JaxSean Jul 7, 06:42 2
        
        speaking of, I kept seeing the phrase "gay tendencies" in an article not too long ago. what does that even mean? -- nm - hotkiss7348 Jul 7, 06:44 1
        
        They like Glee and are married. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 7, 06:50
        
        "At that age" -- nm - MDH Jul 7, 06:41 1

    - sounds like one of my names. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 7, 06:33
Fuzzy: OK, maybe "waste product" is a bit too strong for LiLo, but I find her pathetic. At least RDJ seemed to really try hard to clean up. -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 06:28 18
- What I don't get is...how is she not broke yet? -- nm - JaxSean Jul 7, 06:53 5
  - there were rumors for awhile that she was. - decline Jul 7, 06:56 3
    - Plus, she gets paid for "appearances", when she can manage to show up. -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 06:58
    - So that buys a few days worth of coke. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 7, 06:57 1
      - I'm sure she gets a lot of that for free -- nm - decline Jul 7, 06:58
  - maybe she is? you gotta wonder. -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 06:55
- Bah...Downey Jr was a complete mess every bit as bad as her. But, she's in the internet age AND a chick. -- nm - Jim Jul 7, 06:35 10
  - I think Downey's challenge was as tough as hers; I don't get the sense that she wants help - Will Hunting Jul 7, 06:43 2
    - Though she's still in the early stages. I'm sure Downey wasn't trying too terribly hard to clean up at 24 either. -- nm - Ender Jul 7, 06:59 1
      - Downey still had a career at that point; this girl's lost just about everything. - Will Hunting Jul 7, 07:06
  - was he flapping his private parts in front of paparazzi? -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 06:36 4
    - He was found stoned and nekkid in his neighbors bed in 1999. - decline Jul 7, 06:42 2
      - Exactly...he didn't have cameras and TMZ and all that shit following him all the time. - Jim Jul 7, 06:49
      - true, I had forgotten that. -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 06:44
    - I certainly wouldn't put it past him. Hell, he might even do it now :) -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jul 7, 06:40
  - This is what I miss: -- (link) - MDH Jul 7, 06:35 [Image] 1
    - Word. -- nm - Jim Jul 7, 06:36
- "Paris, Nicole, & Britney have all gone straight edge. Lindsay is the only true rider. Gotta give her props for that thuglife." -- nm - MDH Jul 7, 06:32
Stephen and other FVers... - nubby Jul 7, 06:28
LeBron to announce his signing in the season finale of a 13-episode weekly sitcom premiering tomorrow on ESPN. -- nm - znufrii Jul 7, 06:28 8
- His twitter is now up to around 219,000 followers. He's made 2 tweets -- nm - decline Jul 7, 06:40 2
  - I liked Jason Whitlock's comment on this (paraphrasing) "did you se Michal Jordan going around calling himself Air Jordan?" -- nm - Beaker Jul 7, 06:42 1
    - I'm guessing that Lebron referred to himself as King by this post? -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 7, 06:58
- Stick LeBron, Wade, Bosh, Amare, Dirk, Joe Johnson and Shaq (for personality) in a house together. Real World: NBA -- nm - Strongbad Jul 7, 06:38 2

STIS: I have an Excel spreadsheet with a row of sums at the bottom. How do I make it so that as I scroll down, the data scrolls but the sums don't mov - hotkiss7348 Jul 7, 06:25 16
- Freeze panes. Either highlight the cell you want the freeze around - decline Jul 7, 06:30 6
  - Doesn't Freeze Panes only freeze the "top" part of the screen, though? -- nm - JaxSean Jul 7, 06:31 5
    - hmm. interesting. If you actually freeze the pane you are right, but if you just make a pane (with the tab thingy) then you can scroll the top half -- nm - decline Jul 7, 06:35 1
      - You mean drag the little divider(s) above the scroll arrow on the right? I think that's effectively the split functionality. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 7, 06:37
    - if you click on the second from last cell, it should freeze the bottom IIRC? nm -- nm - groiny Jul 7, 06:32 2
      - I'm in 2007, and whenever I highlight a row (or any cell), only the rows above (or to the left) freeze. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 7, 06:35 1
        
        I know I have seen it done, although I have never done it. - groiny Jul 7, 06:35
- If they're at the bottom, the only way I think you can do what you want is to Split the worksheet so the top part scrolls. - JaxSean Jul 7, 06:29 1
  - sweet thanks so much! -- nm - hotkiss7348 Jul 7, 06:32
- Freeze Panes, but click on the last cell before the totals when you select it. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 7, 06:28
- Split Panes? -- nm - nubby Jul 7, 06:27 3
  - It's under Window, or the shortcut is what I tried to describe below. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 7, 06:30
  - This sounds like a reasonable name for what I want. I'll look into it, thanks -- nm - hotkiss7348 Jul 7, 06:28 1
    - Under... Window? I'm not sure. -- nm - nubby Jul 7, 06:29
- I know there is a way to freeze stuff at the top of the screen, guessing you can do the same here (but sorry no specifics as to how) -- nm - Beaker Jul 7, 06:26 1
  - Have you tried making 2 windows? Drag the little button in the top right corner (difficult to describe) -- nm - Strongbad Jul 7, 06:27
with all that Bosh hasn't done for the Raptors, if they could get Beasley and a 1st or 2nd rounder I'd be all over that noice. -- nm - Beaker Jul 7, 06:24
