        Where dop you want Shirley to drop down from?

        I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

          already get that with dropdowns for year of birth... have to scroll more than a few times to get to mine. Seriously, why cant they start low and let the kids [with more energy] scroll down?

          This internet thing is amazing! Letting people use it: worst idea ever!

              So do I and chose the day and month at random, then get confused when I get birthday related messages on random dates. On the upside I can dine for free at least once a month on my 'birthday' at different restaurants.

                  I generally pick Jan 1st - partly because it's Herself's birthday so easy to remember, partly because I don't have to scroll at all! :laugh:

                            Hmm. No, I'm serious: hmm. Have the user hum, sample the microphone sound input, divvy the frequency range from 80 to 3,400 Hz into 1010-1 intervals, and voila! Easy-peasy. Best of all, this approach doesn't use any screen real estate.

                                  Train them early, forget for the first 5 years in a row and they start doing all the work for you. I have not bought a present (nor received one) in decades, she buys the presents for the kids and threatens me with the job if I dare complain. We are however going out to a restaurant of her choice tonight though, at her prompting.

                                  Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

                                        Train them early, forget for the first 5 years in a row and they start doing all the work for you. I have not bought a present (nor received one) in decades, she buys the presents for the kids and threatens me with the job if I dare complain. We are however going out to a restaurant of her choice tonight though, at her prompting.

                                        I'm with you on this. She just buys her own present. I'm fed up with the number of times presents bought in the past seem to have disappeared on day 3.

                                          Piece this one together for no idea on how to plan. Her Mother is the 21-12 and her Dad is 27-12 so they go and put her right in the middle. Bloody Wogs can't do basic maths.
