Very cool that you were able to see it. The observation about relationships is fascinating. I'm glad you were able to go, Ryan! I’d heard of the indoor ski slope.

It makes a lot more sense. Thanks for your comment! @Sue

We had the opportunity to use the emergency room when I caught my finger between the boat and the dock and split it open. As we arrived at the emergency room we gave them our credit card and were charged $300 and given a receipt to send to our U.S. insurance company. (We are some of the fortunate Americans who are able to afford insurance.) There were more serious situations ahead of us (heart attack for one) so we waited over two hours and were glad to wait since others were needing immediate care and my injury was not life threatening. Once I saw the doctor he gave me a tetanus shot (mine was overdue), numbed and stitched my finger, and then gave me pain pills should I need them. He then gave us our bill of $47.00 (because we were not Canadian) and asked for payment directly to him. We paid him and he gave us a receipt to send to our U.S. insurance company. Neither the hospital nor the doctor need to deal with one of the over 87 different U.S. insurance companies who in each case take their cut. Nor does the patient need to pay for the Hospital Corporation's cut. Two of our Canadian friends have had cancer and were treated immediately and effectively in the Canadian system.Our Canadian friends do pay for a supplemental insurance if they choose to and it amounts to about $30 per month in their cases. When I told them how much we pay they thought it was an exorbitant amount for the year and I was talking about per month! Believe me, I would much prefer this system.

]]> Comment on remove apostrophes before numbers in OpenOffice Calc by NJBILLT http://www.ryananddebi.com/2009/11/29/remove-apostrophes-before-numbers-in-openoffice-calc/comment-page-1/#comment-13183 NJBILLT Wed, 18 Jan 2012 15:06:39 +0000 http://www.ryananddebi.com/?p=3863#comment-13183 This might help someone too. I saw someone asking about if it's AFTER the text. Well, I copied my credit card into calc and one column wouldn't add. So I figured out that it's text too just like the above problem, but in my case, no apostrophe. It's a SPACE, and it's AFTER the numbers, not before, so it's not so easy to find. Solution: use find and replace. COPY the space from calc, and replace it with a 0 (zero) Now it will format like numbers. If you're formatted for 2 decimal points, you won't even see the extra 0 you added. This might help someone too. I saw someone asking about if it’s AFTER the text.
