I can no longer select text and drag it to another location. When typing an email, I may want to move a sentence further up or down to make the message read better. I used to be able to select the text with my mouse and then drag it to a new location. It also will not allow me to grab an email address and drag it up into the "to" section. It allows me to select the text and even allows me to click on it and drag it, but it won't allow me to drop it into a new location.

The phrase "M'en Bati Sieu Nissart" was on someone's avatar with some kind of big red bird with a yellow beak making a muscle - it looks like the bird might be standing on top of some green hills or mountains. Is this sports related, maybe rugby? I was just wondering what it meant. I tried babelfish, but it won't translate, it just comes back with the same untranslated phrase. Thanks.

I was reading a fictional story today, completely unrelated to the war in Iraq. Actually, the story takes place in a completely fictional land and time. Anyway, a character in the story half jokingly asked his commanding officer if "dead" soldiers get paid - the characters were lost and thought dead for over a year. Regardless of the fictional nature of the story, it made me very curious and brought up a bunch of questions. Especially wondering if our own MIA/POW soldiers get paid for time they're unaccounted for?

So here are my questions.

If captured or lost and thought dead either in war time, training or general mission and then a soldier is released, found or returns does the soldier get back pay?

Do surviving family members get any kind of pay for MIA/POWS?

If a body isn't recovered are you automatically considered MIA?

How do death benefits work in these cases?

Lastly, what is active duty? Does it pertain to war time only? What other duty is there?

Thanks

I honestly can't remember when I found out Santa wasn't real. I'm sure my parents didn't tell me - I probably told them. I have a younger sister (3 1/2 years younger) and I kinda remember them telling me to keep it to myself so that she didn't find out. But I have absolutely no recollection of how old I was or how I figured it out. And I'm sure that for sometime, even though I was pretty sure he wasn't real, I kinda pretended he was . . . just in case.

Did anyone feel heartbroken when they found out? I know that some parents feel strongly that perpetuating the myth of Santa is lying to their children - do any of you actually remember thinking badly of your parents for this "sometimes called" lie?

I tried the new Beta Yahoo! Bookmarks by downloading the new beta toolbar and then switched back. I can still get to the old view http://bookmarks.yahoo.com/ and it says I have 998 of 1000 bookmarks. When the Beta view http://beta.bookmarks.yahoo.com/, says I have 1015 bookmarks even though the faq still says 1000 is the limit?

With 1015 bookmarks why are so many of the bookmarks from the old view now missing from the beta view. One folder with 60 bookmarks now only has 18 in beta. My finance folder went from 40 to 8. Before I started, I exported my entire list to an htm file. After noticing the missing bookmarks. I tried to import from this file and also tried the "Import from Yahoo!" button provided. My bookmarks remain missing.

Also, on MyYahoo! homepage which used to have a module that listed all my bookmarks down the left side column, now has a message that states something like. "sorry, now that you're using the beta, you can no longer see your bookmarks here.

Any info?
