OI!! Us IT types would be more interested in the technical problem than in why you wanted to be able to do it!

Since IT people never understand psychology anyway, I’d probably just make something up!

Right, a work-related symbol, which would be…?

I’m not that thick! I’d come up with some work-related symbol I needed.

I can just imagine if you had an IT person at your facility. You calling this person to help you out with a problem you’ve been having. When the person gets to your office you say to him/her, “can you show me how to make the music symbol on my computer?”.

Sorry, neither I nor the Commonwealth of Kentucky has seen fit to make the “upgrade” to Vista, so we’re all still in XP. The state just recently upgraded Office to 2007, but I’m still running in compatibility mode in 2003 because any time I try to use the new features on 2007, weird things happen, and we actually don’t have an IT person at this facility at all. If we have any problem that cannot be solved by rebooting, we have to call Frankfort.

In Vista > all programs > accessories > system tools > character map > open this, select> Times New Roman> scroll till you find what you want to use, click on that > click select > click copy, then when typing comments choose paste from your edit tools.

Yes I’m sure many know this, just trying to be helpful for those who can use the info.

Nope. Now it did a couple of the symbols that were listed, like the smiley face, but not most of them.

And you can’t do it from your home computer either?

And it did exactly the same thing again.

I just sent a reply in which I noted that yes, I knew that, yes I had tried that, yes, I had unlocked the number pad and no, it still didn’t work. Then to prove it to you, I typed ALT 14, to show you nothing would happen. But something did happen: it made my post disappear!

By: la conejita

la conejita — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 21:12:10 +0000

No. They suck!

By: la conejita

la conejita — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 21:11:22 +0000

♫ ♫

In order to get those you hold the ALT key and type the number 14. You have to use your number pad. It doesn’t work with the numbers above the letter-keyboard.

I mean really, couldn’t we at least party with the undead? Vampires are tres cool now!

Yeah, I had noticed that some symbols appeared differently at home from at work. I also cannot get this machine, no matter what I do, to put out those little musical notes and such that other people do, even though I’ve got a chart and instructions that supposedly tell me how to do so.

By: la conejita

la conejita — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 21:06:08 +0000

Yes, but you’re the one who’s not letting us have any fun. And complaining that my party won’t be fun with corpses, and whining about how they are not good at climbing. Relax and have fun!

*Hands JohnB a corpse.*

In my screen it does look like a heart.

By: JohnB

JohnB — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 20:44:11 +0000

Me? You’re the one who invited all the corpses and necrophiliacs!

By: JohnB

JohnB — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 20:43:13 +0000

Not if they eat them at the party.

By: JohnB

JohnB — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 20:35:27 +0000

Is that symbol between the “I” and the “cerebral” supposed to be a heart? On my screen, at least, it appears to be shaped more like a baseball home plate.

But what if some of my guests are into necrophelia? Then they’ll be impressed that I have something for their taste.

It will be like giving loot bags with candy to kids. Only at this party, the guest get to take the bodies home with them.

Hmmmmm, treating the symptom alone is of limited help – we must identify the cause of these contractions. What could that be? Do you drive an expensive car? In such cases, a Ferrariectomy is drastic surgery, but extremely effective.

By: dr handle

I think we are misinterpreting this; I think that writing out the word “heart” is a transliteration of the use of a heart symbol as seen on stickers to indicate that something is loved, for example “I *heart* New York”. So “heart” is used as an imperative, not a noun or adjective. We are being implored, nay, instructed to “heart” people with cerebral disease.

Perhaps a more idiomatic translation might be “Please be kind to the idiots who feel compelled to climb the wall – they have brain damage, and can’t help themselves”.

Do you have a high wall to place them on? Otherwise, the effect is minimal.

Make sure you get there with a group from the One Foot in the Grave Retirement and Rehabilitation Center.

Bringing deceased sufferers to any party is bound to make an impression, but unless you’re in the mortuary business it’s probably not the kind of impression you want to make.

By: la conejita

Yes, that goes along with a low bank account number.

I wonder if I can rent some heart and cerebral decease sufferers for a party. I would like to make an impression on my guests.

I myself suffer from severe wallet contractions, is that a symptom?

By: bluejade

Absolutely! Boom makes it better! You guys have convinced me! Now I want to go to the Great Wall more than ever in hopes of seeing this spectacular event!

Hey, I have an ex-spouse and it’s no laughing matter, I’ll have you know. Symptoms are serious and include wallet palpitations and severe ex-mother-in-law headaches.

And possibly an explosion, if the nitro-glycerine pills go off? Is there anything that can’t be made into a better show by adding an explosion?

By: JohnB

JohnB — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:25:36 +0000

Oh, ho, you almost goaded me into a serious response! It is early Monday morning, for sure! But I would swear I actually do have brain palpitations; I’m sure my wife would be glad to confirm that. As for migraine heartaches, my ex-wife would be more of an authority in that department, since she gave me a few.
