    I love Thanksgiving but my wife has decided to make it a preview to christmas for the grandson. I will be cursing putting up BS lights outside and f'ing garland on the pine log rafter in the living room and the F' ing christmas tree. Serenity now I can do this without being an a hole but will probably be called that at some point.

    They are known as brown striped flies by us commoners/ pop fans in my area but figured I would give the real name for the soda kind of guys like you. And to answer your question... no not all flies have wings. Bat flies are wingless. :P

    Dammit !! I thought I might get lucky with that comment seeing you are from Illinois. Oh well 1 for 2. Oh and yes... I googled " is there wingless flies " thinking there was no chance in hell of there being one. Who knew? :) I figured my odds of pop/soda were greater so I got greedy.

    I am not 'from' this hellhole, I am a Michigander and a northern Hoosier and we say pop.

    That being said, 'pop' is not an uncommon term for it here. 'Soda' is slightly more commonly used, but it's pretty normal to hear people say 'pop'.

    I can't tell you how many work cell phones I have whipped across a room into a wall. Probably double digits over the course of 16 years.

    I'm in the middle of completing a time sensitive report last night. Computer just stops and says in 10 seconds its rebooting and updating. No chance to cancel or pause. Shuts down and proceeds to take 30 mins to update. Although I didnt loose much, I lost 2 paragraphs of info as it never auto saved before updating. Fing piece of garbage.

    Ours do that as well. It's sent down from the IT security people, literally -0- way to stop it if it's an Adobe security fix. Most of the other updates we get a 5 minute window, but if you happen to lock your screen and walk away and one comes down the pipe while you are away, you are Effed.
