    It's the first few minutes of Friday morning here in the best part of the world. ...my Mother died of Melanoma at the age of 40. With my little Sister dying of the same thing 7 years 8 months later at 28 I'm not a happy boy. So after work tomorrow and the drive back home from Canberra I'm going to smash a large chunk of Bundy Rum and whatever top shelf beer I buy. Elephanting sunshine of a life, I expect to post something angry and drunk in 18 to 20 hours from now.

      Reading the text I think You don't know me very well, following the link I think WTF does that mean in any context.

        Sorry to here that, but to quote the Bard od Springfield "To alcohol! The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems" Well he was half-right, despite not being an iPhone developer (WTF was that about?).

            Dealing with the loss of a loved one is never an easy elephanting task, Michael. :( At least, they are living in your memories, and that's a honour you're doing them, and it proves how much you love them. I can elephanting appreciate you for that. May life bring peace to you. :rose:

              Pisses me off big time, father and both Grandfathers died of cancer and one Grandmother survived 3 doses, also had an Aunt that survive a huge dose, had a canular in her chest for 20 years so they could dose the drugs in easily. Absolutely loving the way Elephant is taking over Code Project.

                    Sorry to hear that, man! Sounds like you really miss them. That's gotta blow. My sincere condolences! My dad drank himself to death about 18 years ago (he was found on the bathroom floor in a puddle of puked-up blood). Even though we were the exact opposite of close, I was sad to see him go in such a manner. So, careful with the drink! OT: "Elephanting" -- what's that mean in this context?

                              Some things cannot be solved, like missing a loved one. Don't tell people to look for solutions if they're looking for something to ease the pain, unless you want them to teach you the difference.

                                    It's the first few minutes of Friday morning here in the best part of the world. ...my Mother died of Melanoma at the age of 40. With my little Sister dying of the same thing 7 years 8 months later at 28 I'm not a happy boy. So after work tomorrow and the drive back home from Canberra I'm going to smash a large chunk of Bundy Rum and whatever top shelf beer I buy. Elephanting sunshine of a life, I expect to post something angry and drunk in 18 to 20 hours from now.

                                      Reading the text I think You don't know me very well, following the link I think WTF does that mean in any context.

                                      I thought the same thing. Link text didn't make sense.

                                      C#: public void GetOffOfTheComputer(){ throw new System.NotImplementedException(); } VB: Public Sub GetOffTheComputer() Throw New NotImplementedException() End Sub
