Do a lot of people still play Maplestory?

I'm looking to get back into Maplestory however playerbase is one of the biggest things for me. Do a lot of people still play Maplestory? I love to see an active community. I heard with the recent patch a lot of people got butthurt. Also I noticed the final hero was announced, does this mean the game will be dying soon? Without anymore heroes to release surely it will die out. What do you guys think? Is it slowly on a decline or? Most popular server besides Scania?

What do we really know about Strong Belwas...

So Strong Belwas shows up with barristan selmy to be dany's bodyguards. Where did he come from? Well, we all know that Robert Baratheon hated being king. In ADWD one of brans chapters where he wargs into a werewood in the past we see a conversation between Robert and Ned describing this. Robert even says "I would *die* to live a normal life and not be king, if nothing more than to just get away from these Lannister scum." So think about it, Barristan left for dany right after he was dismissed from Joffreys KG. This was right after Robert "died". Its obvious that he just faked his own death and went with Barristan to hang out with dany AS STRONG BELWAS. Think about all the similarities: they are both fat, they both love food and getting drunk, and they both want to ride a dragon. Robert would love to go to yunkai to chill with all those whores, and submitting yourself to a 15 year old queen seems like just the type of roleplaying robert would be into. strong belwas (or should i say robert baratheon) is one of the dragon riders and he comes back with dany to wipe out cersei and all the other lannisters. (coldhands is the other head of the dragon because coldhands = benjen = daario = secret targ)

Someone egged my car last night. How do I get revenge?

So last night my car was egged. I know who it was that did it and no, it was not a "friendly" prank. I hate these people and they hate me. These people are assholes to everybody except for the 5-6 people that they hang out with. I haven't made it known that I know it was them. And yes I'm sure it was because I looked at videos from my neighborhoods security cameras and saw their car pull into my subdivision at around 2 am. So my question is, how do I get the best revenge I can? P.s. will post a picture of my car if you guys are interested. EDIT: Here are two of the pictures i took before I cleaned it all off:

My impressions of the 3Ds XL and NSMB2 and why I bought one but not the other;

My first attempt to test out an XL went poorly, as the Best Buy I entered had only a cardboard cut-out of the system. The buttons had no tactile response, and the screen appeared frozen on a single image from NSMB2. Confused and a little frightened, I left the store, only to return a few days later. This time, I found a demo unit XL in all of its 90% larger glory. The display model included several demos, and so I was able to play NSMB2, Mario Kart 7, Zelda OoT, and was also able to watch the trailer for Kid Icarus Uprising. This was extremely helpful, since I own MK7, Zelda, and KI, and I was able to see first hand the pixelation resulting from the larger screen. As most reviews have mentioned, it's not bad, but it is noticeable. Kid Icarus in particular seemed to suffer to most, but that may be because I was only watching a trailer and not real gameplay. Of course the demo unit was shackled to the foundation of the building with a 1/4 inch thick steel cable, and so it was difficult to get an accurate estimate of the feel of the weight for the system, but I was able to open/close the unit, and was able to get a clearer sense of the width and size overall of the XL. While I can appreciate the screens are much larger and certainly seem nice, the pixels were just a bit too much for me, and I sometimes feel the 3Ds is already just barely pocketable (and no, I'm not wearing skinny jeans, but neither am I wearing cargo pants). I've never had much of a problem with hand cramps, so ultimately, I've decided to hold off on the XL and stick with my original 3Ds. Yes, it was a slight shock to return to my humble little 3Ds after trying out the XL, but it also reaffirmed that the 3Ds screen is sharper, and I was surprised to find out how much that made a difference for me. For those on the fence, I hope that some of this is helpful in making your own decision. Of course, the most prominently displayed demo was for NSMB2. I've read through many reviews from gaming websites as well as on this sub. I also need to make clear that I never played the DS NSMB, and only played bits and pieces of the Wii version. It's entirely possible that the staleness described by many other reviews was lost on me, because for me, it was more "new" than it may have been for those others. I think the game looks great on either the XL or 3Ds (my preference is for the sharper picture of the 3Ds, but it doesn't look bad by any means on the XL). The controls, as has been mentioned, are tight and responsive so that when you die, you know you done screwed up. I can say after a few hours of playing the game that compared to SM3DL, the star coins can be MUCH more difficult to find. So, when you hear that the difficulty of the game is questionable, you should ask "well, the difficulty of what?" Overall, is it hard to get through a level? Not really. There are plenty of extra lives to go around, and if you die too many times you'll get the SUIT OF INVINCIBILITY. As mentioned though, finding the star coins is a sufficiently difficult exercise, and if you accept the "Million Coin Challenge" you'll get more than your share of time out of the game. Then there's the Coin Rush mode which turned out to be more fun that I anticipated. Are the Coins a gimmick? Of course, but does that make it any less enjoyable to run through torrential downpours of coins or hurl gold fireballs across the screen with reckless abandon? No - I've found the oddly fanatical obsession with coins to be a sufficiently fun and unique aspect of the game. I bought the game with the goal in mind of reaching 1,000,000. Whether that happens or not, we'll see, but I'm not regretting either of my choices - not getting the XL was the right move for me, and NSMB2 has been a blast so far.

Advice on how to ask my girlfriend to smoke w/me

So, I don't smoke often, but when I do, it's always for insight, creativity, or quality time with friends. I don't know how to go about asking my girlfriend to smoke with me for the first time. She's a little hesitant because she doesn't want to get hurt at her job and then get fired for a positive drug test and also she doesn't want to be spacey the next day at work. But coming up we have two days off together, so I was thinking it would be fun to smoke and watch some movies, maybe hike a little, but I don't know how to go about it. Also, I should say she had a bad experience with an ex who used to ditch her all the time to smoke and she doesn't want to see me become like that. Any advice would be appreciated greatly. :)

So the doctor basically told me to stop taking my normal allergy medications within certain time frames (one medication has to be stopped 6 days prior, another 2 days prior, etc) but neglected to tell me when i should stop smoking even though i told him i do. Does anybody know whether marijuana affects and EEG or how long before the test i should stop? Only reason i'm asking is i'm due to get my new bubbler soon so the whole test is just bad timing but if i have to wait so be it.

Men of reddit, are you bothered if you are always the one to initiate texts?

Im under the impression that certain types of men enjoy the process of pursuing and working for a girl they want. I was wondering though, is there ever a point in which you realize that you're always the one initiating conversations via text where upon that realization bothers you? I do have a personal situation in mind, the context is weve both told each other in plain terms that we like each other, yet I realized that he remains still, always the first to initiate texting. there is no conflict at hand, just curious if men ever get upset at something like this?

Wellbutrin causing blisters? Am I alone in getting this rare side effect?

So I started Wellbutrin about 3 weeks ago. 3 days ago a fairly large blister showed up on my arm. I hadn't burned it on anything or injured it in anyway. I thought maybe I had gotten bitten by a bug that I was allergic to. However yesterday I developed yet another blister rather suddenly in my mouth. From what I have read online Wellburtin can cause blisters but it's pretty rare. (about 0.3% of paitents). Has anyone else has this happen when on Wellbutrin? I seem to always get the strange side effects when on medications. I called my doctors office this morning to ask if I could go off of it cold turkey or if I needed to cut back on it first. It's not only the blisters, I'm a type 1 diabetic and my sugars have been consistently high since I started taking it, and I've developed headaches in the last week. I just find the blister thing strange and wonder if anyone else has had something like this happen. Even if it was on another medication. Blisters just seem like such a strange side effect to me, but I can't think of anything else it could be.

A suggestion for beginners: take a wine tour

I will preface this by saying that I'm a complete beginner in the world of wine. As many posters in the same situation, I feel fascinated but also intimidated a bit by the depth of this field. In our recent trip to Tuscany, we have attended a 2 hour tasting course and a guided day trip in the Chianti area with a small group (8 people). It has been my most enjoyable experience in the world of wine, and definitely the most eye opening. It is very helpful having the opportunity to taste multiple related wines, of varying age and quality (and price of course :)), and someone with local knowledge to explain and describe the process. Many wine areas have tours and guides, and a bit of googling will highlight the reviews of the best of them. So my heartfelt recommendation is for any beginner to try social events like tastings and tours, it helps a lot if you talk about it. Wine people are also generally friendly and geeky so redditors will feel at home :)

[Wolvania] A matter of affairs

Here are some things that need sorting out in Wolvania. **Buildings**: The mall - (built by Caiden) is half destroyed. I personally feel we should finish the job, freeing up space (possible a communal farm could be more beneficial?). If need for such a mall rises I would personally vote to put it underground, unless we wish to construct a far more grand structure. The wall - is unreinforced. Which kind of defeats the point of a wall. We could do with some stone reinforcements. Snitches - Do we have any set up? If not I might donate my single diamond to start the town's snitch network. The Long Patrol HQ - While I respect this order, their building is unsightly and appears to be griefed. Could it perhaps be reconstructed (I could provide charcoal for smoothstone (bricks))? Paths - Need to be properly reinforced, and smoothered with torches to prevent snow build up. **Administration & Law**: Admin - As far as I can see there is no type of government. Law - I personally feel Wolvania would benefit under /r/VEC_Law. As a small town we would benefit greatly from the help of other cities. VEC would also save us much time and effort in prosecuting criminals.

Able to see unrooted spinecrawlers moving outside of vision?

This is probably a noob question (hey, bronze league!), but have not seen it before so figured I ask about it: Am I supposed to see opponents uprooted spinecrawlers moving in areas of the map where I have no vision? I played a few FFA games today. In one of the games, I attacked a zerg opponent. I did some minor damage and sent my units back home again. After that, I only had units in my own base so I only had vision in my own main/expo. I did however see my zerg-opponent's base "in the shadow" or whatever its called. (the way you see opponents buildings when you been there but no longer have vision). Anyway, at this point happened to notice that even though I did not have any vision outside my main/expo, I could see my opponents uprooted spinecrawlers moving off creep towards my base. Which made it very easy for me to go kill them. Is there some special things with uprooted spinecrawlers of creep? It seems a bit like cheating to be able to see some of the opponents "buildings" moving even if you don't have vision.

Help! My fiance's bachelor party fell apart, I need to make it better

First time poster, hopefully doing this right. My fiance, Frank*, is supposed to have his bachelor party today but found out last night that pretty much nothing was planned. He got on the phone and planned an afternoon at the batting cages (til ~4pm) then dinner at 7:30.

Why is Socialism so demonized in the western world?

What I mean is ... I understand that almost all of the western world is Capitalist. But they never seem to give a legitimate reason why they hate socialism. They always say, "We hate socialism, because it's socialism!" That's not a legitimate reason! For example, I live in Canada. I know we are NOT a socialist nation, but we have some socialist aspects/programs in place currently. So, from MY stand point ... Socialism doesn't look all that bad. I mean come on! Socialists argue that socialism is about bringing human social organization up to the level of current technological capability to fully take advantage of modern technology. They argue that capitalism is either obsolete or approaching obsolescence as a viable system for producing and distributing wealth in an effective manner. Socialists generally argue that capitalism concentrates power and wealth within a small segment of society that controls the means of production and derives its wealth through a system of exploitation. This creates a stratified society based on unequal social relations that fails to provide equal opportunities for every individual to maximize their potential, and does not utilize available technology and resources to their maximum potential in the interests of the public, and focuses on satisfying market-induced wants as opposed to human needs. Socialists argue that socialism would allow for wealth to be distributed based on how much one contributes to society, as opposed to how much capital one holds. Socialists believe that capitalism is an illegitimate economic system, since it serves the interests of the wealthy and allows the exploitation of lower classes. As such, they wish to replace it completely or at least make substantial modifications to it, in order to create a more just society that would guarantee a certain basic standard of living. A primary goal of socialism is social equality and a distribution of wealth based on ones contribution to society, and an economic arrangement that would serve the interests of society as a whole. So, can someone explain, Why is socialism frowned upon, when it looks like it strives for social and financial equality. A society where there is NO class. Everyone is "one class", where everyone is equal. What are your opinions? EDIT: If you support socialism, what kind? I know that there are different types. Such as Democratic Socialism, Marxism, etc ...

Austrian perspective on the multiplier effect?

I may be operating under some falsehoods. I thought the multiplier effect was largely keynesian theory, and highly contentious among everyone else. And, that Austrians mostly doubt the validity of it as a consistent economic phenomena. Is this accurate? I ask because of the frontpage post about every dollar spent on NASA returns $7, and many asserting "duh, multiplier effect".

[Barbarian] Double WW with a block-based build?

I've been toying with the idea of using a crit/block shield instead of an offhand for added survivability with a WW build. I've read that you can still block while using whirlwind; I have not confirmed this firsthand (have trouble reading my combat text), but it seems logical seeing that everything else can happen while you're whirlwinding, including using other skills. I use a mighty MH for consistent rage, so I lose any additional crit that an axe MH would give me, but a shield pretty much allows me to up my crit and give me some str/survivability, all at the loss of maybe a negligible (in my opinion, at least) 1k dps loss. I've done runs with a shield, and it does seem like it's letting me survive a lot easier (if not by block, by the added 1k armor), although that might be confirmation bias. With the addition of +block items, it might be better than a dw-based build?

Cheapest option for buying meat?

I try to feed my dog human-grade food rather than dog food, due to the fact that the chemicals and junk in it are even worse than human-grade processed food. I reason that feeding him well can prevent health problems in the future, saving me money in vet bills, but it's still hard to justify when a 50 lb bag of dry dog food is only about 20 dollars. I was wondering what the cheapest option is for buying meat. Where should I buy? Should I get canned meat in bulk or buy smaller amounts of ground meat and freeze? (I don't have a large freezer). What type of meat is cheapest, something like SPAM, tuna, chicken, turkey?

Building big corner table: Could this work / Which kind of wood?

So i want to build a corner table .. a kind of big one. Here's a plan with some approximate sizes: to be assembled into something like this: (cable ducts hanging below the plate in the back). Feel free to drop any thoughts you have on the design, but my main problem currently is with the plate: With no legs on the inside where the chair goes (space for moving around without hitting your toes, yay!) the center of the table has quite some distance to the legs. I've build a couple of things like kitchen furniture and stuff, but nothing hanging free at such sizes, so i'm somewhat at a loss here experience-wise. My local hardware store doesn't offer any boards this size except for a 3/4'' / 19mm thick particle board. I'm not too sure, but my guess is that that would not lead to a very solid table. So question to those of you who maybe have a little more experience in this than i do: What kind of wood product (if there is any?) would be suitable for this size? I don't need to be able to jump on the table, but i would prefer if it didn't bend much when you lean your elbows on it or something like that. Is that achievable with raw wood or will i have to look into what funny ideas i can come up to construct support structures below the plate?

How to make an efficient and durable carbon-filtering sploof [x-post from r/trees]

I've taken a lot from this community, but this is my gift to all of you. I'm going to tell you how to make what is, as far as I'm concerned, the ultimate sploof. I've seen other carbon filter designs around the net but this one is far better. This things doesn't cover up the smell of your exhaled smoke, it eliminates it--and is extremely easy to make, durable, and cheap--everything needed to make it can be gotten for under 10 bucks. Supplies: -1-1/2" by 6" plastic extension tube for sink the picture on the website is of the 12" one for some reason -1-1/2" threaded PVC cap -Activated carbon I went to walmart but can be found at pet stores too -Dryer sheets Directions First rinse about a half cup of the activated charcoal and let it dry to get rid of the charcoal dust. Then start drilling holes on the top of the PVC cap. I used a 1.98mm bit and drilled about 50 holes spaced evenly like this. Test it out by blowing through it every once in a while and make sure air comes out easily. Cut out a circular piece of a dryer sheet to sit in the bottom of the cap and keep the carbon granules from falling through the holes. When you're done, remove the plastic ring from the extension tube and screw the cap onto it tightly. When the activated charcoal is dry, pour it down through the mouthpiece of the sploof to about an inch to an inch and a half. Lastly, stuff a dryer sheet down with the charcoal and tamp it down with something to make sure none of it falls out. And then you're done. One of the advantages of this sploof is that it's really easy to replace the carbon when it gets old--just unscrew the two pieces over a trash can and empty the carbon. Comment and tell me what you think :D

What would happen to organized crime if all drugs were legalized?

A huge portion of the profits of various criminal organisations around the world is the money they recieve being the only party able to sell cannabis and other drugs. In many places, all sales of drugs go directly to one gang. If NATO, backed by the UK and US, decided to legalise all drugs. Would the big billion dollar making criminals go bankrupt without their most profitable interest? Would it end the war on the Mexican border, that kills thousands every year. The US gov. would seize on the chance to give exclusive licences to its biggest contributors. Drugs would become safer and Cheaper to use. The cartels would be forced out of the market. This may come at the cost of reducing the quality and magic of weed. Take this as seriously as you like when you comment :) (also sorry for any mistakes, first post as a sapling ent at an (8))

[4E] Why do you tend not to recommend Essentials to new players?

I haven't been posting as much as I have in the past, but while lurking, I've noticed that many of the "new player"/"getting started" threads get flooded with "Player's Handbook / Dungeon Master's Guide / Monster Manual" ... after recommending the Red Box as a starting point! Now, I can understand the attraction to the old "Core" rulebooks. They're more in line with tradition, they're hardcover, etc. But the facts of the matter are that they've been errata'd to hell and the Essentials line-up does an arguably better job at presenting the game with up to date rules and better class builds. Am I missing something here? At least, if you're going to recommend the "Core" books instead of Essentials, why not recommend the free Getting Started / Keep on the Shadowfell PDFs instead of buying the Red Box, which has very different class builds.

Dear Princess Celestia (On Letting Go)

Dear Princess Celestia Sometimes someone doesn't love you quite like they used to. This may have been a slow realization for them and caused some extra hurt. An easy ignorant mistake and I find myself forgiving easily. At this point I forgive not for her or our [past] connection, but for myself. If I have learned anything directly for my connection with her, it is pony's capacity for forgiveness. Sure, some things hurt and forgiving hurts, but the choice of what to do next is what is really key. It has been over three years since I met her. It is painfully obvious to me that I got in over my head extraordinarily fast and had expectations for her that she could not possibly measure up to. Regardless she was an incredible pony, and some of our talks and adventures gave me a feeling like nothing I had experienced. It was because of our connection that dealing with her flaws was so difficult. With any other less than ideal pony, letting go and moving one would have been easy; there isn't conflict. Such was not the case this time. I find myself in the strange situation of giving up on somepony that I love. We shared a great love and it was a shame that we didn't get to capitalize on that anymore than we did. It is time for me to move on because I can't keep people like her in my life. Princess, you know that saying "If you love someone let them go..."? I am letting my love go, but I do not want her to return for I know she is not mine. Your Faithful Student

Suggestions for a 10" or 12" Home Theater subwoofer?

Current setup: * Polk Audio Montior70's - Front L+R * Polk Audio Monitor40's - Surround L+R * Polk Audio CS2 Series II - Center Channel * Polk Audio PSW10 10" sub * Onkyo TX-NR709 receiver First off, let me say that I LOVE my current setup! However, I am somewhat disappointed by the PSW10 sub. The design is flawed - putting the air vent/port in the front makes the grill rattle when something with a lot of bass hits, and even if the grill is off, you can hear the noise of the air escaping pretty loudly. In addition to this, when something with a lot of mid-range bass hits hard with the volume turned up, it almost sounds like the sub is "capping out" - it makes a knocking noise like it's just physically unable to produce that much mid-range bass. It's hard to explain. So, gentlemen, I'd like your suggestions on a 10" or 12" sub. Are there pros and cons to getting a 12" instead of a 10"? My price range is ~$200. I'd love to spend more, but I can't afford to cough up that much money at the moment.

Starting a small business, not really clear on what I should form it as (LLC, Corp, Corp S, etc.), help?

Ok, so here's the basic business: I will provide design/engineering services on a contract basis similar to the way a graphic designer or lawyer would be contracted to do work on an hourly basis for someone. The biggest reason I'm not sure what to form it as is that for the first few years I plan to basically just be a freelance designer/engineer, but I want to have the legal separation that LLC and corporation provides and I want to be able to grow it later on. I also want to be able to send invoices as a company rather than inconveniencing clients with 1099 forms and such (as I understand it, they would just pay for my services like a bill for lumber or something). What do you recommend I start my company as if I'm a single individual that will be the solitary owner and employee (I will also contract additional people from time to time from other consultancies if something is out of the realm of my expertise) and working from a home office? Should I start it as one thing and somehow roll it into a new company when I expand? Would I be ineligible to form a corporation since I would be the solitary share holder? If it matters at all, I'm in New York State (NYC, specifically). PS: where do you recommend I look to find a good accountant? Is there something specific I should look for when selecting one (work with similar services, similar type of company i.e. LLC, etc.)? I plan to work these questions out with an accountant, but I'd like some advice so I can be prepared when the time comes to actually meet with them. PPS: all of the different business types boil down to taxes owed and varying degrees of legal protection, right? What would happen if I failed to submit a form here or there? major audit/fines? basically nothing and I'm just told that I didn't fill out a form? For some reason I'm terrified of not filling out a required form or filling out the wrong one and getting slammed with harsh penalties or something. PPPS: can I begin to purchase things now and claim them as business expenses later when the company is actually formed? I will be buying a few expensive things (most notably Solidworks that costs $4000 for a license) and I want to make sure I can write them off to some degree if they qualify for a deduction in the first place.

To Presuppositionalists: I can prove that your arguments are bunk.

As many of you are aware, presuppositional apologetics are currently enjoying their 15 megabytes of fame. This has brought we atheists considerable frustration, since these arguments are notoriously difficult to rebut. But don't despair, because I've finally cracked it--I've proved that presuppositional apologetics are bunk. You see, dear presuppositionalists, I don't need to demonstrate that your arguments are fallacious, invalid, unsound, unconvincing, and/or silly, because *you already know that they are!* You're reasonable human beings, and like the rest of us you have an innate ability to recognize nonsense for what it is. You don't actually believe this stuff; the only reason we're still arguing is that your emotional committment to Christianity and your fear of being wrong have overpowered your common sense and prevented you from acknowledging something you already know to be true. So, with presuppositional apologetics decisively refuted, where do we go from here? I, for one, am washing my hands of you and your ilk. I won't be held accountable for your folly, and no matter how unfortunate your quandry may be, there's nothing I can do to help you out of it. You'll have to figure it out for yourself and either deal with the epistemological elephant in the room or continue to choose comfortable self-deception. *tl;dr* - Presuppositionalists cannot provide the necessary preconditions for an intelligible conversation. *Edit* - Not to hide behind reddiquette or subreddit rules, but if you're downvoting this post, would you mind leaving a comment explaining why?

If I ever hear my alarm go off on my phone, especially during the day by accident when I'm not expecting it, my head starts throbbing and I'm on the verge of vomiting. I just don't want anything fucking with my sleep, man.

[Help] I'm trying to create a profile that turns bluetooth on for certain apps but then otherwise remains off.

Basically the title. It seemed like it would be like the gps one from the guide but I got stuck at the second or third task to add. I only use bluetooth for snes9x EX but I don't want to have to keep toggling it on and off. Thanks for any help you can give. Edit: Apparently it was as simple as just having the context be snes9xex and then action be turn bluetooth on. When I leave the app bluetooth turns off automatically without an exit task.

Why aren't more geeks interested in sailing?

Sailing involves meteorology, aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, materials science, geometry, engineering, geography, and electronics. It is a deeply and broadly challenging endeavor that one can participate in from age 2 to 92, and never stop learning. Why aren't more reditors interested?

Anyone have some study help? I fear I may be failing out of med school...

I've only been a little over a month into med school, and we have had two exams so far. The first one, I failed, though I wasn't surprised since I started cramming for it 3 nights before. I didn't want to repeat my mistake, so I studied everyday for the second exam. I reviewed my notes daily from the lectures, made a study guide, and kept a list of key terms. I also read the textbook to further review. Exam day came, and I felt prepared. I felt like I did an excellent job on the exam, and came away from it with a really good feeling. Then my grades came out and I didn't pass. Again. I was waaay below average compared to the rest of my peers as well, well past one standard deviation below the class mean. I feel pretty devastated and hopeless right now. I really don't want to quit medical school, but I feel like an idiot. So does anyone have any tips for studying? One of my problems is that every time I learn new material, I immediately forget the material I learned previously. It's becoming quite frustrating. I'd appreciate some help!

[Survey] I am doing research to open a Billiard Hall, what is important to you as a player?

Just as the title says. I've done research on the market, location, equipment, competitors, etc. Now I am looking for input from players to see what is important to them. Carry supplies? (Cues, cases, chalk, etc.) Serve food? Separate tournament room? Serve alcohol? Please add anything that is important to you and I will review everything. Thank you for your time.

OpenOffice Calc Concatenate Macro

I use spreadsheets to build HTML tables. I place HTML tags around my data cells and use the concatenate function to combine the cells so I can quickly modify and copy a complete table. In OpenOffice, concatenate doesn't work for large ranges. I found a macro that allows me to do this: ---- Function STRJOIN(range, Optional delimiter As String, Optional before As String, Optional after As String) Dim row, col As Integer Dim result, cell As String result = "" If IsMissing(delimiter) Then delimiter = "," End If If IsMissing(before) Then before = "" End If If IsMissing(after) Then after = "" End If If NOT IsMissing(range) Then If NOT IsArray(range) Then result = before & range & after Else For row = LBound(range, 1) To UBound(range, 1) For col = LBound(range, 2) To UBound(range, 2) cell = range(row, col) If cell <> 0 AND Len(Trim(cell)) <> 0 Then If result <> "" Then result = result & delimiter End If result = result & before & range(row, col) & after End If Next Next End If End If STRJOIN = result End Function ---- The problem I encounter is that this macro leaves cells with a 0 blank. I need to display those. For example, if I had cells with the following data: A1 -- <table border="1"><tr><td> A2 -- 2 A3 -- </td><td> A4 -- 3 A5 -- </td><td> A6 -- 0 A7 -- </td><td> A8 -- 4 A9 -- </td></tr></table> The function =STRJOIN(A1:A9) yields the following: 0<table border="1"><tr><td>2</td><td>3</td><td></td><td>4</td></tr></table> Which looks like this. As you can see the table cell that should contain a 0 is blank. I assume there's a simple modification I could make to the macro to make it work as I need it but I have not been able to figure it out. Thank you for your time

How do I get my wife to wear a helmet on the occasional motorcycle ride?

My wife goes on occasional rides with a family member (step uncle? 35-ish) who doesn't wear a helmet. The rides last between 1 - 2 hours and are typically on highways (55mph). I don't want her to ride at all but she still goes ahead. I think i would feel a lot better if she wore a helmet and protective clothing but she says it takes the fun out of it. This is really affecting our marriage and is the on real time i yell because i cant understand why she wont wear protective gear. Also she is an RN. Please help. We live in Iowa, I also completely understand the joy of riding brings but I can't live with the possibility that if she crashed and died that she could have lived if she was just wearing protective gear.
