My on-the-fly invoices don't need a whole column for a        phone number. I've gotten used to just prefixing the number        with a " ' " symbol and the number: '###-###-####, and then the        minus sign doesn't trigger a math function.                      >> When I was a grade school age, I really enjoyed receiving        >> personal letters addressed to me as Esq.               GP> Was it to "Master August Abolines, Esq."?              Hmmm.. I think that Master was part of the presentation, yes!                      GP> ...I always thought esquire was for educated(university        GP> grad or Masters) folk alone.              At the time, I did not know this. I think the dictionary that I        used at the time primarily defined Esq as "a title of respect".        So, seeing my name appended with Esq was fine by me!                      GP> One of my faves that shih tzu one. . .              [...]               GP> I can teach anyone to say that right -- just say        GP> cats...soup & drop the ca & op              yes.. it becomes more like "tsoo". But shit zoo is more fun        and get away with saying shit! LOL              --        ../|ug       --- OpenXP 5.0.51        * Origin: Creditors have better memories than debtors.
