Hi there - it has been a long time since I have posted here. I work on a database that is Access based, but our DBAs don't support Access (yeah, that's what I said). So no one knows the answer to my question. The database our company uses allows us to query using ODBC tables in Access 2010...

thanks for adding me to your friends list. I know I haven't been out here very much lately - I have a different job, and if I find a minute to go to the bathroom, I am doing good!!! But I promise I will come out more!

And it's LMNOP, just lowercase. I figured everyone would be familiar with that part of the alphabet, but it appears not. Lisa

Colin: Whoops!!! Did I inadvertantly use my ransom picture??? Yikes!! The authorities will be onto me!! Thanks for bringing that to my attention!:eek: All kidding aside, and so no one else thinks I REALLY kidnapped Madeline, this is my daughter Haley, 3 years old, and god forbid SHE ever...

Capitalism and greed. In a nutshell.

Quite frankly, that is crappy health insurance. Glad I don't live in your neck of the woods. Medical care that people NEED is basically covered where I live, and I think you would get a majority of agreement from others that live where I do. It absolutely sickens me that the crap you mention...

I guess I don't understand your statement there - what do you mean by the invisibile hand of the market to allocate the scarce resource? And what do you mean by scarce resource? I don't understand the idea that medical care is scarce in this country. Perhaps on a regional basis, the farther...

Yes, I know BCBS in other states are not as good as mine, although I can't say our company always does the right thing, but I know from working here and with the people who agaonize over some of the medical review decisions, that there really is a feeling of caring here. At least from my...

I'm sending all my best to ShaneMan and his family, so they can stay strong during this difficult time. Lisa

Ok, the beast has been awakened..... Well, I am one of the American posters, and I just happen to work for a health insurance company. A Blue Cross and Blue Shield, as a matter of fact. Much of what other Americans have posted is correct about how health insurance in America works. You get...

You mean to say that Heaven isn't up in the clouds? :eek: As a believer, I do believe that there is a different plane of existence, aka Heaven. Not sure what it looks like, but I know it's okay to be there. I don't know if it is quite the paradise that is depicted in many religious tomes...

I fianlly have time during the day to actually come back out here. Good to see the usual suspects are still out here. 1) Rush 2) King's X 3) Muse 4) The Mars Volta 5) Steely Dan (stolen from above, thanks for reminding me) Lisa

I have one I need to add: Drivers who do not move over/speed up/slow down when I am trying to get on the highway. God knows they own that lane, and God forbid I get in it. Especially when the on ramp is going to end on me in 500 feet. I think common courtesy is a thing of the past on the...

It's cold in Rochester, in the 30's, and about an hour ago it was snowing. Seems to have stopped now. Overcast, haven't seen the sun for about a week now, but looking forward to some sunshine this week.

People, People. The holiday season is beginning. Let's not all go off about opinions. Jsanders, I can see where you would be annoyed by Colin's comments, but even though it's a thin line, I don't think he was criticizing your parenting skills. Personally, I don't believe in the "cash for...
