<p>:cool:
thanks!</p>
<p>This is like a birthday present :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Now who can show me how to do colors? 
</p>
<p>CC is what I give up for lent. . . see you after Easter, y’all.</p>
<p>[ color=blue]blue[/color] blue</p>
<p>The powers that be will say that’s all I should show you how to do so you don’t get in any trouble. This is dangerous stuff. ;)</p>
<p>How come it doesn’t work when I do it? : (</p>
<p>Wait, :(</p>
<p>Oh ye, of little faith.</p>
<p>NOW, I get it!!! :)</p>
<p>made me realize that there are people MUCH better than me.</p>
<p>I accidently discovered that if I press control and i or b it does the whole [ i]<a href=“sans%20spaces”>/ i</a> thing for me automatically.</p>
<p>From CC I learned a ton about the financial aid process which really helped us out $ wise. I would never have known we could get an adjustment last year for our horrible medical expenses - saved us a lot of debt 
Also have gleaned much helpful advice from ACT prep for my daughter (which helped her score enough to get a really good scholarship at her State U) to advice for what to take to the Naval Academy Summer Session 2 years ago (trash bags for wet clothes after sea trials, fabreeze for smelly clothes :rolleyes: and the list goes on and on</p>

<p>Learn not to measure yourself by stats. For the most part they are unimportant to your future success. Measure yourself by how your sports teams do in the postseason.</p>
<p>:mad xxxxxxx</p>
<p>:eek: xxxx</p>
<p> did i do it </p>
<p>SO what did I do wrong?</p>
<p>OK, now I have to bookmark this thread for the emoticon instructions…</p>
<p>bulletandpima: you have to type in the words color=blue and put them in brackets then your sentence then brackets with /color at the end</p>
<p>[color=red] let’s try again </p>
<p>ARRRGGGGGHHHH :mad:</p>
<p>I want to be cool 
with colors</p>
<p>bulletandpima…what you did in post#57 would work IF you had NO spaces between the brackets and the beginning of your phrase and NO spaces between the end of your phrase and the bracket…so, NO spaces!</p>
<p>me, too CountingDown! :D</p>
<p>But back to the main question, CC has taught me there are a lot of really intelligent, caring people in America, unbounded by geography, race, gender, socio-economics, age, health, looks. The format of this board (being all verbal) displays minds at work, and this cuts away the extraneous details by which we sometimes judge people and by which we often are distracted. It’s a level playing field for intellects and I have found that VERY helpful, not just for college stuff but for weird things like vacuum cleaners, rolling duffle bags and making new emoticons. :D</p>
