What's even worse is you telling the student adds to the discussion: "don't be silly, that's a Japanese sub!".

But did you also ask yourself if it has a Glen? If not, you are a rank amateur.

Using three spreadsheets on a laptop to support playing the game on a tower computer, ,, all normal,,,, right?

Well, it could be worse. You could be sitting with the kid in front of the computer telling him the story of WITPAE turn 345...

I create backup directories in the SAVE directory and move my saves into the backup. I can keep all my saves that way. I usually move them when I get up around save slot 80.

Uh, I do. I wrote a check not too long ago to Chickenboy for a debt incurred on a bet about an AE game! I think I have more than just one problem.

Did I get the date right, Andre?

I remember that on June 6, 1964 (while in high school), I wrote June 6, 1944 for the date on a paper or test or something. And the teacher (a veteran) picked up on it ...

So, maybe not a WITP-aholic, but definitely a WWII-history-aholic!

You should've written "D-Day + 20yrs"

Close enough. The bank cashed it, so it was good enough.

Although you needn't have put "Nyah na na na na...pfft..." in the "Memo" field.

Status: offline 		I can be a bit old fashioned about things. I find I can keep track of my bank account much easier if I write paper checks, so I pay the bills with checks and stamps. When I use electronic banking, it's way too easy to forget something and I don't log the payment then get overdrawn. It's really annoying to get overdrawn when you have the money, it's just not in the right account at the right time.

When I'm writing checks, the register is right there and it's part of my procedure to log the check as I write them. I probably could develop a habit to log the electronic transaction in an electronic register, but I hate learning new habits. I probably will have to one of these days.
