The "Aha! Moment"
-
you have been stuck for hours and hours trying to solve something or fix something , whether be it an assignment, work or a home project. You feel you have checked every single tutorial Google had to offer and none of them helped :wtf: . Just as you are about to give up, a random thought comes to you,to which by some miracle is the unified solution to your problem. You get this rush and suddenly you scream out "Aha!" Have you ever had that moment? Please share your aha! moment.
I have one every time I manage to pull off a righteous dump (that's getting more difficult to do as I get older).

You're not alone. Either it won't come at all or too much comes.
Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone.

Any support I provide is from afar. Anyway, you know you're getting old when you realise that it's stupid to pass up on a toilet opportunity.

I feel more often its a "DOH!" moment, as Why didn't I think of that much earlier or How could I have missed that. Just earlier today I was trying to get some AjaxToolkits working and I couldn't understand why my changes weren't coming through. Till DOH!, I edited one page and viewed another. After that everything came together and I had been right all along.

You know you're getting old when you think you need to fart, but you're afraid to because you don't know what's really going to come out...

I have my “Aha!” moment every Friday after the end of the work day.
There is only one Vera Farmiga and Salma Hayek is her prophet! Advertise here – minimum three posts per day are guaranteed.

I can't remember exactly, but those moments are fun, plus the info stays with you forever. I mean it's nice/fun at the end, sometimes I even laugh at myself. But, until the "aha" moment, really not fun.
All the best, Dan

Unfortunately, the information evidently did not stay with you forever in this case. ;-)

Thankfully, I'm trying now to compose myself to prevent any of their detritus invading my memory.

The two of you need to hold hands, in a toilet, farm far, far from the rest of us. This is getting entirely too bizarre. Next you'll be swapping Viagra stories...

I had one when I solved the Poincaré conjecture. I let some Russian guy take the credit, though.

You remember the feeling but not the details. This is also called middle age :-O.

Wheeler Rule #1: Never miss an opportunity to pee. This became rule #1 after spending two hours in a traffic jam with a full bladder. My kidneys hurt for days afterward.
