I'm an idiot, Bill; a simpleton. Please rephrase your question so a moron such as myself, can understand it. Thanks.

I'm not anti-office or anti-microsoft.
I switched a few years back when you could only buy MS-Word for many hundreds.
At the time I needed a good Word to PDF converter and MS-Word didn't have it built in.
Then I noticed OpenOffice had it for free -- about 1 year or so before Word added it.
I like the the MS subscription idea. It isn't too bad to get set up and the management console isn't bad for installing it to up to 5 computers.
I probably should try Word's doc to PDF conversion again though because maybe it's really good and I haven't noticed.

Is she big for her age?
Or are you going to do some extensive testing on it until she is big enough to ride it - about 15 years time maybe?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Have you checked what date it is tomorrow?

Happy first birthday to your four year old!
I hope she has a good time, and the party doesn't get too out of hand...

Well, she's an extremely strong minded person already so the party has already gotten out of hand.
She only wants to invite the friends of her big brother since she's a "boy". The fact that she's missing crucial parts doesn't bother her the slightest.
We've been having a big row with her today about that she should actually invite her own friends instead, especially those that have invited her for their birthdays.

Well, tomorrow is the day that peoples of the female persuasion get to propose and generally 'be the man' so really you don't have a leg to stand on. Give in gracefully or accept the consequences!
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

Explains a lot about her, doesn't it?
|
|

An unreasonable female?
Hmmm, that has to be a first.
|

That's a good one. You had me tricked too. I was thinking, "what kind of one-year old can ride a bike? maybe the bike is 6 inches tall or something? how can this happen?"

Well, some thing you can't choose.
But at least she won't become a grown up until she's a pensioner.

happy birthday to your daughter (and have a or two yourselves, by the sounds of the conversation with OG etc, you're going to need drink)

Yippee!! Congratulations! Soon you'll be a grandpa! Spend every moment you can with your kids! Kids are precious!

I would not want that for her before her 5th birthday.

And for her second birthday you'll get her a car?

The grin this brought on my face this morning will be kept the whole day. Thanks a lot for that, and a happy birthday to your daughter !

I knew there had to be a joke in there somewhere. Nice one!
Is it really her birthday?
In that case happy birthday!
|
|

|

Yes, it really is her birthday today. We didn't choose the date for her though.

Happy 4th year and 1st birthday to her, happy riding !
