Anyone have Office 2007 installed on a netbook? Wondering if there are any performance issues with it compared to Office 2003.

Mr. M showed up in the hospital about two hours later, when all I was thinking was M:rolleyes:therf:-::-::-:er, I need more narcotics.

D made his presence felt after I got home from the hospital just about five hours after the first sign of pain, and he contributed the drug-induced nap that I took from just before 11 this morning until about 40 minutes ago.

It's been a fun, fun day. I find it very hard to believe that it's after 5pm already...but then again, two IV loads of Dilaudid will do that to a guy.

Morning, Box.

Sorry to hear it. I had the grave displeasure of Kidney Stones when I was 12. As they attempted to delay my admission to teh Hospital whilst my nervous mother attempted to fill out insurance/admit papers, I curled into the fetal-position on the floor and let out an inhuman blast of almost nonstop wailing and shrieking (due to the unbearable pain). They got me into a hospital bed PDQ, as I was causing quite the scene in the lobby of the ER.

I think that's likely not to get topped today for crapiest. Woman say passing a stone is much worse than child birth.

It is the most blinding, horrid, total mind-consuming pain I have ever experienced. I was literally wishing I would die, rather than keep feeling that way.

Sorry again, CM. There are not :rolleyes: and :mad: enough in Teh Box for that...

I have it installed. I didn't have 2003 on this netbook so I can't comment directly to that but it works just fine for me. Larger documents are a tad slow to open but once opened they work just fine.

Yikes! Has it passed yet? Or do you foresee much more gutwrenching pain if not on drugs going forward?

Yeah, that sums it up nicely. I remember mumbling to myself that the ER doc could cut off my feet if he wanted, as it surely hurt less than what I was feeling at that time.

Speaking of Brett Favre. This article hit my feelings spot on.

Not that I know of, and I'm told that you will indeed know when it does. Since I took a narc nap and ate very little, No. 1 and No. 2 are both rather uncooperative right now.

Sorry to hear. Ouch. I haven't had the "pleasure" of a kidney stone. I cannot imagine what it feels like. I hope it passes... soon.

The concept of shame disappears entirely when Kidney Stones enter the picture.

The festering pit won't be so festering this weekend. ^ Even though temps are in the 90s, it will be dry. ^ Look at the low temperature of 68! Woohoo! I'll enjoy it. :D

It's impressive in its lack of professionalism. It's remarkable in its laziness. It's astounding in its egocentricity.
^^

I went to a Jets-Broncos game with my brother-in-law to be last season because the tickets were free and I'd never been to an NFL game. In the back of my mind, I was thinking to myself that at least I could tell my kids that I saw Favre play. The stock price of that last thought just plummeted.
