Moog sometimes you are so sharp it just blows my
mind.
Well as the Biblical sewer with the needle said, "It's in the eye of the beholder."
You have way too much time on your hands. good luck in all your endeavors.
Hey, thanks for the compliment. I guess we both have something in common. Actually, I don't have much time, but I just don't take myself too seriously.
You two crack me up. ;o)
That's weird. Humpty Dumpty said the same thing.

Yeah but I have known some beholders to get stung a lot.
LOL!
I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. ;o)

Oh beehive! You and your flowery terms! Yes, those beholders do get one in the end.
If you would have been disappointed, I would have appointed you right back.
I'm pretty sure Haley Barbour's a guy.

Not a bad one at that.
Read the thread JR I have already fought that fight
and won .
"If you would have been disappointed, I would have appointed you right back."
Why, thank you!
I figured you to be a gentleman. ;o)

Some call me a stubborn one though.
"Ms." is not the official abbreviation for Mississippi. "MS" (note that both letters are capitalized and there is no period) is the postal code for the state, and "Miss." is the AP Style Book abbreviation. "Ms." is the feminine equivalent of "Mr." -- at least in the U.S.
While Ms. is supposedly the equivalent of Mr., Mr. is definitely used a lot more often. Mrs. remains more common than Ms. Ms. takes on sort of a "feminist" connotation at times. Some people use it as a formal way to say I Ms. You. Ms. can be used for the official abbreviation for the state of Mississippi. It is shorter to spell than trying the remember the little rhyme. A lower-case s can be used in place of the upper case s because it requires only one stroke of the shift key as opposed to two. Technically, if you put in on the letter it will get to the same place. Thus, this makes the lowercase s equivalent to being used as the upper case one, as least in this case. Using a lower case s, though, does constitute an abbreviation and therefore, does require a period. Using an uppercase S does not require a period unless you want to do involve using the extra keystroke, at which time you may enter the dot. This is done by extending down the fourth finger on your right hand until it rests completely on the period key. Note not to press down the shift key as the > sign will appear. If you do have your finger on the shift key, depress it at once so that terrible consequences won't ensue and you can enjoy working your shift. This will prepare you to be able to type the appropriate dot that may or may not be required. Miss. is used in print. However, Ms. can be used as well. Note that Miss. requires the dot because people will misinterpret the word to mean something else, or all will be a miss. Sometimes it will be a Mr. at which point you may decide to use a Ms. Then there would be an error that would be missed and therefore, the miss would be a Mr. or a Ms. that was meant to be a Miss. that went amiss as a Ms. or a MS and therefore missing the point as I have done many a time. Now if you have gotten to the end of this and found it to be 75% BS, you are right. Of course BS can be written as Bs. This however, can be interpreted as being business which is just BS. Therefore, being BS, it should not be written as Biss. This may biss some people off if that is done. Therefore, BS is the traditional format, being instantly quotable and easier to say. However, care should be taken when using it around college degrees. The meaning depends on the opininon of the graduate and how he or she felt about the subject. Therefore, one can use it in a positive or negative sense. The interpretation of such is best left up to the individual. And finally, I come to the last point of my long point--who cares?
If your post doesn't make it clear
for everybody, then we might as well pee on the fire
and call the dogs.
Oh pee quiet, you might ruin the roasted marshmallows!!!:)
