                Dude, that sounds like what I'd do while I'm on the phone. I'm not middle age yet (does 28 count?). :~

                Middleaged is not an age as such, it's more an attitude. But whenever you get the newest Visual Studio and you don't install it immediately to try it out, you've reached programmers middle age.

                    I had a modal form in a Winforms project that I changed to modeless last week. I changed the ShowDialog to a Show and ran the application. I was stunned to find that the form flashed for a brief moment and then disappeared. After an intellectually unimpressive minute I realized that I forgot to remove the using-block around the code! Old age is fun! :-D

                    I did exactly the same thing about two days ago. Well, not exactly the same because it was my Form, not yours, if you see what I mean. That would just be silly, I would have no access to your form. Would I? I'm 62, you know! Have you seen my glasses?

                        I can't remember and I can't find my glasses to read my prescription. You haven't got them have you? I think the nurse is stealing my peppermints.

                          I don't have any glass. But I have some problem in my left eye. Cricket ball directly hit on my left eye while I was batting. My dr told me to use glass. But I don't......

                                My youthful friend, I must correct you on two points. 1. This is not a symptom of middle age, but rather old age. Middle-aged people are in their prime, and this tale is one of decline. If Smitha wants more kids, she'd better get busy now, as the memory is the second thing old age takes away. 2. You have no frame of reference based on experience to say that old age is fun; neither have I. But from what I've read about it, and been told by my ancestors (while still warm enough to pay taxes), old age is decidedly not fun. On the contrary, according to reports, it sucks.

                                Will Rogers never met me.
