Thanks, Walt. Indeed she did. The day before she relapsed (almost exactly a year ago), she went ahead with her plans to host a Thanksgiving meal for a group of her university students who were unable to go home for the break. She's set the bar high.

I've done that sort of thing in the past, both for soldiers stationed nearby who had no family around for Thanksgiving and Christmas and for some of the foreign students here at UT, but I wasn't battling a relapse of anything. It's definitely rewarding and appreciated at the same time - the perfect definition of a win-win situation.
I've found the best way to keep the memories of loved ones alive is to pay their thoughtfulness forward for them.

Indeed. I know she'd want that.

I also lost a dear friend to cancer this summer and as I posted on a tribute photo; "Life goes on but to a different beat".
I'm sure she was a special person. R.I.P.

Thanks, Mike. I remember your post. Friendships mean more to me today than ever before.

My grandmother who lived to be 100 told me one time that one of the worst parts of getting old was you lose all your friends. What's scarey is it's starting to happen to me!

I stand to lose a brother shortly, my condolences. I plan to set aside the good memories and cherish them.

I have spent all day recreating a project because VS decided last night that there was a problem, and kept flashing up error message boxes with compilation error problems - and then running the app anyway, as if nothing had happened.
Now, I've had this one before, and I'm pretty sure it means that VS has got itself confused and stored some bad info in one of it's many intermediate files - one it doesn't actually clean when you tell it clean the solution, or rebuild all. And the only solution I have found is to create a new project and add each end every file, one at a time, building each file in, and eventually you end up with the same project as you started with, but it compiles this time...
So I did. And sure, I have the same project I had yesterday, but it all works now.
For an hour.
Then it decided to find a new problem...this time it couldn't set up a variable in the designer.cs file because
protected MyWalletBL.Branch Branch;
...
this.selectFavourites.Branch = ((MyWalletBL.Branch)(resources.GetObject("selectFavourites.Branch")));
has a different type on each side of the equals... 
Two hours of searching, faffing and general swearing.
Then I removed all the references from each project, cleaned the solution, closed VS, reopened it, cleaned it again, and put the references back.
Oh look! It works again...
It looks like VS keeps intermediate semicompiled assemblies and can refer to two different versions of the same assembly in the same line of code without you having to change that assembly in any way
And I haven't even tried to make my base class UserControl abstract yet...maybe I won't do that at all!
The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger.

I hate it when VS decides to do that. I usually use VS or #D for editing, and compile from the command line.

You do realize that's the Visual Studio equivalent of crossing the streams[^], don't you?

That's why I haven't done it yet... 
But... it should be, I'm just kinda... reluctant... to do it.

It's not too bad - I've done it before, but it's a PITA to get round the VS bug that the designer can't show anything that is directly based on an abstract class 
So I wrote up the process as a tip: Deriving a concrete class from an abstract UserControl[^] for posterity!

I feel your pain!
I've taken to restarting VS as a first step any time any strange errors occur after the hours I have wasted puzzling over incomprehensible issues.
This is especially annoying in the WPF designer when VS insists there are errors, which magically go away on a restart (but not on clean, rebuild or closing/opening the source file)
As (on my system, at least)it can take 30 seconds + to open a Xaml (just the source, no rendering) I am drinking toooooo much coffee - as I restart VS and go grab a cup while it lumbers along.
Thanks for the excuse to co-rant

And instead of fixing the problem let's put out a new version with a brand spanking new UI and we'll call that a hidden feature.

So:
-- It's forever interrupting and popping up suggestions while you're trying to communicate with it.
-- It constantly remembers and brings up things you'd rather forget.
-- It multi-tasks more than some IDUs, but seemingly not with any regard for efficiency.
Damn. All we need is for it to open a messagebox suggesting that you stop and ask for directions, and the root cause of all the problems will be confirmed.
