Guess who's coming to dinner on Monday?...
P

Exciting! I would cook healthy and homely - didn't you say he is a fruit and herbal tea kind of guy?

Why did H leave?
P

..."not particularly" could mean yes. I choose to take it as a 'yes' and picture you as tall and blonde, with muscles. Sweet.

I am so bored and lonely and miserable...entertain me.
P

Oh, help yourself, it's in the fridge. But, be warned, it makes you feel really ill, really quickly.

...I just ate too much chocolate mousse and now I feel even worse than I did last night. Fat pig.

Why did H leave?
P

Woohoo, just had an image of Coastman in a police uniform...be still my beating heart.

Coastman, are you tall and blonde with big muscles by any chance? If not, is it okay if I imagine you that way?

First conference coming up
P

Tee hee...that is exactly what I wanted to ask someone when I was going to my first conference...it is so important for a girl, isn't it? From what I can gather, it depends on what conference it is, and where it is held...some are all suits and ties, some a bit more everyday wear...can't be more specific sorry. If you are presenting, I would put effort in to look professional - when I presented, my supervisor kept asking me what I planned on wearing, so he could approve/advise...he even started advising about ironing techniques, but suspect that was a joke!

Just read DJW's PMT thread and don't need entertaining anymore! Hilarious.

Sorry to whinge, but...it is Saturday night and I am trying to do some writing that I am due to give to my supervisor on Tuesday. My boyfriend has gone away for the weekend to visit his mates (ie. drink beer). I am in a new BIG city where I know NOBODY...I am so bored and so lonely and so miserable.

I am sure if I wasn't writing my thesis I would have met some people here by now. Instead, I am stuck at home every day with nobody but my dog and my computer for company. I can't get a job - why did I start a PhD in such a narrow field that people say "can you even do a PhD in that?" all the time?

Poor me *sticks bottom lip out*.

Machoing up the forum, Bonfire night
P

When it comes to fire, I am a man! When I was a kid, I set fire to a paddock next to our house that nearly burnt the neighbours house down. It was scary, but great. My parents still don't know I did it...I must confess one day.

Sorry, Richmond, fire just is not manly enough.

This is pathetic...
P

I have not had a single drop of alcohol tonight...and I still think Coastman is a sweetie.

Lol at pea! What a horrible realisation to wake up to in the morning with a hangover!

This is pathetic...
P

Of course (from what I can tell on here) you seem like a really nice guy, but I am really, really embarrassed. I wasn't even drunk, just being a bit silly and thought it would be a joke to add to the hypothetical crush I have on you. Then people made vomit noises and accused me of butt-kissing and being girly. Not funny anymore.

This is pathetic...
P

Oh, I did it again. Don't drink and post, Piglet! Gosh, and I had only had a couple of glasses of wine - what a 2-pot screamer.

Sorry, especially to you Coastman, but it was only meant as a bit of fun and a giggle. It is ridiculous given that I have never met any of you, so you can all be assured I am only joking.

SixKitten - I don't think there was anything in my message that can be classified as butt-kissing.

This is pathetic...
P

...but I would like to dedicate a thread to the sweetest guy on the forum....Coastman.

We have never met, but I would love to lie on your beaches one day.

Momentous Endnote Occasion!
P

tina, if you have used 'cite while you write', then click on the button on the Endnote toolbar in Word called 'format bibiolography' and it will bring up a box where you get to nominate the format of the bibigraphy you want, and which endnote library you want the references to come from, and then click OK and it will give you a bibliography list at the end of your document. You may have to play around with formats etc and Endnote will take a few minutes to do the whole process if you have used lots of references. If you have not used cite while you write, I'm sorry, I cannot help you - you are beyond the scope of my knowledge. But always double check the list, because that is where you find all the mistakes you have made while entering articles into Endnote over the years!

Momentous Endnote Occasion!
P

Oh, MsCrow, I use Endnote in the simplest possible way, and beyond the basics, I am a simpleton.

Regarding your Q about where do you put the passage of text to reference - not sure what you mean. Do you mean you want to save the words from the original article that you are referring to, on Endnote - in which case, I would just cut and paste them under Notes for your own benefit later. If you do this, not sure what happens if you refer to the same article more than once though.

Regarding Harvard, do you mean you are missing page numbers in your bibliography? If the page numbers are in each record under the Pages heading, they should appear in the bibliography - sorry I am not much help with this. Can you give me some more info on your problems - my friend is a hero with Endnote and may be able to help me help you.
