I'm so relieved. My current hold time with CitiMortgage is less than 20 minutes.
It could be 1 second or it could be 19 minutes and 59 seconds.
As a guess, I believe my hold time will be 40 minutes.
I believe you are still on hold.
Well whenever I was working up the example where you beat me to it, they picked up. So it was around 11:13ish.
Yeah, that's kind of what I would expect: You call in April, they answer in November.
My friends baby died last night. He was a week and a half younger than my son.
That is so sad - my prayers go out to them...
I'm afraid to ask how he died, but I'm guessing SIDS because the baby was healthy.
When my mother died, several years ago, she was buried in a very old cemetary. The place had run out of space a long time back, but some kind of modification opened up a dozen or so new plots. Before the service, I wandered around the cemetary looking at the old stones and the dates. Most plots had LOTS of little stones, often with nothing more than a letter engraved in them. Eventually, I realized that those were the stones for all the kids who died young.
When people talk about the life expectancy at the turn of the last century being a bit under 50, that doesn't mean that most people lived to 50 and keeled over. That's the average life expectancy at birth. The average was pulled low by the huge amount of infant mortality. The life expectancy for a guy of 30 in those years was about the same as it is today, it's just that guys didn't often make it to 30. For women, it all came down to whether they survived childbirth, so their life expectancy probably wasn't all that good until they reached about 40. If they made that, then they would be ok, relatively.
These days, we see it as a tragedy when a child dies young. It was a tragedy 100 years ago, too, but it probably wasn't quite as much of a tragedy because it was so terribly common.
I got back from the wake and there is a letter sitting on my mailbox. It is complaining about my dog again, no return address, no name, just the street name. My night wound up pretty ******.
DDAY10, how old are you?
22 -short post-
Well 23 since you've added a number to the end of my username.
And you have a son?
Is that so strange ?
Not strange at all. I am 22. So its weird to think someone my age has a kid.
:o
I got a kid when I was 23.
Where I'm from, 22,23 is kinda old to be having a kid. No joke.
Same here. Mais my wife's cousin had her girl at 14, that's a little young. Most of my friends have 2-5 year olds. They pop them out around 17 or 18.
My ex had her first kid at 15 and was a grandmother by 32. Yeah, not uncommon.
Where did you get it from? ;)Quote:

I wonder if dclamp will be arrested for impersonating a moderator.
I wonder when dday9 is gonna be arrested for his goddamn sig bug!!! ffs my bug slayer skills sucks... :D:p
What bug? ;)
lol i was afraid of that.. just me seein things again.... :p
note to self : *stay off the viking ale peet* :)
I've been awake for about 36 hours, by now, but I'm too tired to calculate the exact number. I think I'm still a couple hours short, so only 33, or so.
I was not on VBForums the whole time.
I was not posting to the Post Race the whole time, either.
Why not?!
I was freezing my butt off fishing in the rain as part of a tournament. It was lots of fun, but rather kept me off the computer for a long time.
I am a Moberator... not a moderator...
Wow I didn't even notice the signature.
Its perfect.
I noticed that there is no longer an avatar nor a signature.
I took them down. It was confusing me.Quote:

Shaggy's is the epitome of signatures, it's a shame that you do not see it.

There once was a man called Michael Finnegan.
Hey DClamp, this question is aimed to you because you deal with a lot of web programming. What server side language should I use to send e-mail's? My scenario is that I'm creating a website for a tattoo artist and I have a booking page where people can submit a request to book an appointment. I'd like for it to email him whenever somebody hits the submit button.
This was to far down for comfort.
I work with PHP.
Why not make a simple PHP booking system?
I don't know any server side languages at all. What do you mean by a PHP booking system?
You should learn a server side language. Everything is going online now. IoE my friend.
But Im saying, instead of making it a passive system (someone books online and it just sends an email) make it an active system (someone goes online, sees a calendar of available slots, and makes an actual appointment).
Make his entire appointment booking system online. Say someone emails him on sunday "I want an appointment on Monday at 0800 hours." He doesn't read that email until monday when he gets in, and that person shows up. Well too bad for that person, because other people are already booked.
