Makes me glad I've got a pair. Two pairs, with reading glasses. I've only ever coded about ten lines of Java in my whole life, for a friend's homework assignment, but I'm sure I have some C# lying somewhere, taunting someone until they have to hit me.

I see glasses more as a language independent Visual Basic need.

My post http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/5022693/Joy-To-The-World.aspx[^] is totally accurate - but most of you misunderstood. The gray text seemed clear to me at the time, but now that I reread it, it isn't so clarifying as I though.
I refer to a shiny new (albeit somewhat leaky) grandson.
For those of you who still have the illusion that your time for this is unimaginably distantly in the future - the shock of first grandchild is numbing. After that (and the concomitant change in your position in society), the damage, so to speak, is done. I realized that I might as well start to collect them.
I've still a number of years of careful planning as to how to use them to get even with my own immediate descendants - but those tales will unravel only after I commit them.
Again - if any are disappointed (and their fantasies dashed) - I am sorry, but, if my wife permits it . . . inspired.

And another thing - for all of the well-wishes from well-wishers. Warm fuzzy feeling, for this is the only online community to which I belong. I remember stuff like that. Thank you all.

Seems like you want to talk a lot about your gray matter.

Of the many possible ways I could interpret 'gray matter' I'll choose by informing you that the proper description at this time is "slat salt and pepper".
Humph.

Pepper is ok, but I don't like slat.

At least I didn't misspell that with a 'u'.
(I modified the original - without the 'u').

What, "pupper"?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Ah! So...in a year or so you're going to be promoted from "dad" to "babysitter"?

Babysitter? That's my Mrs.' job.*
I prefer to be viewed by the youngin's as something more akin to Mr. Wizard with piggy-back rides.
* Events like 'diaper change' and 'puke sopping' are, in my opinion, purely spectator sports.

You rang? Oh no? Nevermind.
Congrats.

This is very serious actually. A study from 2006 established that grand parents in France spend 23 millions of hours a week babysitting grand children. This is ... huge !

Oh, no - it's a promotion all right!
Over the last bunch of years, the amount of actual "dad" work tends to drop off as they become independent. After the promotion though, they can dump as much work as they like on you!

Guilty as charged.
I suppose another congrats is in place then.
You get the best of both worlds. You get to spoil a kid rotten whenever it fits you.
And whenever they get loud, obnoxious or smelly you just hand them over and say goodbye.

There is little more satisfying than have your daughter state "sh*t mum I sound just like you!". Made the wife laugh and laugh and laugh, admittedly it was a thoroughly evil laugh.

Grandchildren and grandparents get along so well together because they have a common enemy.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Hey everyone. I haven't posted in a while, but now that I need something I'm crawling back.
Anyways, there is a magazine in Canada called "Cineplex" that has a blurb about a comedy show I run.
The issue is March/April 2015, Volume 16, Number 3. It has the Shailene Woodley on the cover.
The blurb is on the bottom of page 8 under "The Art of Film" You guys might like it, a fellow comic and friend of mine paints classic pictures with Chewbacca in them. Here is a link to the digital version, scroll to page 8.
http://mediafiles.cineplex.com/CineplexMagazine_March-April2015-WEB.pdf[^]
Anyways, I'm seeking a physical copy of the whole issue, for my comedy scrapbook. If any Canadians have a copy laying around or can grab one, I'll paypal over some reimbursement for shipping and your trouble ($5 sound okay?).

You can post it as an ad in some newspaper, and you might get a positive response.

I may be able to help with this. Give me an hour or so to make a call.
