I have a similar grip.... I'm in my truck, doing the speed limit in the left lane. There's only one other vehicle on the road and it's behind me. My lane turns into a go straight or turn left. The right lane turns into a right turn only lane. The vehicle will pull out from behind me and pass me just to jump in front of me and get to the intersection 2 seconds before me so he/she can turn left.

> No, you're safe here! That was not me! But never do that again!

When my ex was in England (Alconbury RAF), I'm the one who got stuck with all the phone bills, including the one where she tells me she's decided to sleep around. Years later, I'm in Japan, she's stateside and having problems that have nothing to do with me, for some reason my MOTHER finds out and tells me I MUST call, and I get stuck with a $400 phone bill AGAIN. There ain't no justice.

I had a girlfriend (back in the 80's) and we lived together. I came home from work to find here crying on the bed. (I'm a guy we can fix anything, not only can we, it's what we think we're expected to do.) So, I ask "What's wrong honey". "nothing" she responds (I should have dropped it there). "Aw come on somethings bothering you"....this went on until she finally answered my original question with "I don't have anything to wear". OH LORD, I look and I've got about 4 inches of the closet for my stuff and the rest is cram packed with hers, Not to mention the chest of drawers.

Well, it was back in the old Windows 3.11 days and I do have a past working with mentally handicapped people, but, as I said, she is computer illiterate, to put it extremely mildly! And she thought about herself that she was pretty smart at it. But I have a suspicion she was just plain lazy! It was apparently easier to call for help than figure it out herself! Hence the former part!!!

I guess a soft black would look nice. I never thought about hot pink, it might look good with the black.

You do gotta love the people for whom the menu selection "Insert"->"Picture" isn't a bit of a giveaway. I empathize. :)

[EDIT] Advice to anyone who tries this: Gauge their level of competence with a simple insert before you bother trying to explain how to insert frames and wrap text. There's a lot of minds out there that just can't handle it. [/EDIT]
