As soon as you are able to provide it, let me know.

{Shrug} Name calling will take you far, buddy.

FYI, my reputation does not change in the least when I write comments. It doesn't change even when somebody marks my comments as useful (unlike yours, BTW). My reputation only grows when somebody upvotes my answers, it shrinks (albeit less so) when somebody downvotes my answers. I don't downvote answers here, although I've been tempted, especially today. Try to spend your first days learning by observing rather than by making waves.

So, who's here to rack something up, now? Consider engaging your eyes, brain, before opening your mouth, in order to avoid doing so just to put your foot in it. The answers you give are of questionable quality, and I choose to question them. What you do about it is up to you. You can start giving better answers, for instance...

Of course. Did you think that I racked up my reputation by answering questions satisfactorily?

The similarity of one case to another is in the eye of the beholder.

<thumbs up>

It's not a bad idea to say you're sorry more than you think you should. We don't say "sorry" enough in our lives...

In any case, your question was more about relationships than English... It's OK, though. :-)

I think you should tell her that. Perhaps she didn't fully realize that.

..and you didn't accept? That's why you brought it up again?

Good luck to you!

On the other hand, there is a saying in Western culture, "if a man knows that the woman is wrong, he should ask her forgiveness".

Yet something tells me she does not believe in it. If she did, she'd be the first to apologize for whatever wrong you think she did.

Karan, I may be too cynical from other bad experiences in my life... What she is talking about is the concept of 'karma', I suppose.

You guys figure it out yet?

Too late, I see... sigh Have a good night!

Just came to wish you good evening...

OK, All, thanks! Enough for one night... Need to head home from work. Tootles!

I noticed (nods)

All looks like cock-a-doodle-doo.

LOL

luckily all those things can be done by degrees, as little as one day a month...

who reads the manuals anyway? @inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M: I am sure they are. but who got the time?

my philosophy - learn as you go.

...and we don't got one even, it seems sometimes.

Seems like all those good things deserve multiple lifetimes.

@inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M, yeah I don't think I'm up for that... Too old, you know...

@StoneyB is that cockny (sp?)

got a

Yeah, I need to learn some tools, that's true...

shrug whaddya gonna do?

@StoneyB it comes it goes, don't it?

@inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M : it's not important what we all are, it's important why we're here (eeck!)

@inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M I see that. Thanks!

@inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M : desktop. Does it show? (looks around himself)

Russian saying, "word is like a sparrow, after it flies out you can't catch it"

Right. It's easy to say "you can edit", it's harder to decide how or when to delete. :-)

Ah.. Chrome. I'm on IE.. @StoneyB: yes, evening in about 7 minutes. EDT.

Hello, @StoneyB!

No? Sorry...

Ten hut! ;-)

BTW, are there keyb shortcuts for that?

Don't overdo it, though.

It's my name, why would I mind, right?

No prob'm

<shrug>I don't remember how I stumbled upon ELL, but saw it as an opportunity to learn by trying to answer. Old Usenet school, you know.

What would you like to know?

Ow!
