OK so I'm going back and revising the romance novel I was working on that I started for NanoWrimo cause I want to change some things and going back and reading the first chapter, I found I got long-winded (it just came out as I typed I guess) about explaining things. You don't want to bore the reader, definitely not. But how much 'explaining' is acceptable?

For instance, at the start of the chapter, I explain how the heroine and her best friend met (to explain who the people are at the moment I guess) and when I was making notes on it tonight, I marked that entire paragraph out cause I figured it wasn't necessary, all you had to say was they met in middle school and that was that. Right? And I also marked out where I mentioned the would be hero in the next book. And I explained why the heroine has been single so long and how she got her heartbroken, and the hero, how he got burned and hardened against love. It doesn't go on for paragraphs each instance, but is it too much for the

It won't be good enough to go through a catalouge and guess what tools are what and estimate a current selling price on my own. This is for a legal issue.

Im married w/ 2 kids & have always dreamed of a best friend I could call my own. I transferred to too many schools and even country before so I never really retained good friendships. Plus, I focused so much on my bf that friends were sadly shunned away.

How do I go abt finding my alter ego? Or even if not one, at least a true honest person I can rely on when things are rough and for me to give the love and support I could offer. My previous friends said I'm kind and generous but sometimes, I get a lot of people insecured abt me and I dont know why. I am NOT a bf/hubby stealer...

I like to talk abt family life, kids, relationships, past break ups, exes, rant abt the traffic, the weather or rave abt this new purse on sale ... just a normal girlie platonic thing... How will I find her, almost all girls are taken or either belong to a circle of friendship so its hard.

Btw, I am of color living in United States and prejudice sometimes, unfortunately is rampant.

If I want to copy a range of cells from one sheet to another sheet in macro operation I use the following codes: 1.sheets ("something").select 2. range("k1:k45").select 3. selection.copy 4. sheets("somethingelse").select. 5. Range("C1").select etc. If I copy these codes and paste in a command button and run, the 5th step code Range("C1") is taken as error. All other macro codes are being accepted as such in command buttons. Why is it so? What is the alternate code?. This happens during paste special operation. The program is running while in macro operation for the same codes. But the same codes when copied and pasted in command button, the program does not run through the click of the command button and an error is displayed due to step 5 above.

If your boyfriend or girlfriend or someone you liked said one of your friends are hot or some random person they never met was hot. How much would you get mad?
Because when I went on dates with this girl (we were friends at the time) she always talked about how hot a guy was and man it drove me crazy. I almost was going to tell her that there was a girl over there that was hot. I realize though two wrongs don't make a right. Still I got mad because I liked her at the time and I was wondering if everyone or a lot of people feel this way?
PS- Yeah I'll admit that I'm jealous at times.

Or if you would like to pass this along to people (christians) that have questions (or are making false accusations) about wicca.

*BTW she says "Wicca" when reffering to the ancient religious beliefs of our ancestors, which is wrong. Just so you know Wicca is a young religion it does Not pre-date christianity, The magical/religious practices of the Wiccan people Do pre-date christianity though, but not wicca its self*
