Ah, dude, long pants! And don't wear synthetic blends either. If the plane catches on fire the synthetics burn and melt to your skin. Stay with cotton and wool.
I usually wear lightweight sweat pants or khakis (if for work) on flights. However, on the way back from Mexico this year, I stayed in my shorts for the flight. I just wasn't ready to put on pants.
 
A kilt is always appropriate. Maybe I can talk my son into going to Wooster just for the kilt and the bagpipes.
There's nothin' like a kilted mon to make the lassies' hearts go pittypat... ;)

My uncles wore full kilt to major events (weddings, funerals). I loved the way they looked!

My generation kind of left it behind - most of us were girls, and the boys were born to aunts and no longer carried the McNeill name. :(

Blue linen blazer for domestic travel, either with khakis or jeans. Like having the pockets and extra layer if the flight is cold. I like dat window seat and it can be chilly at the window especially on a long flight.
 
Cowgirl - if you do a lot of Excel, there are only a handful of things to master which will give you most of what you need. Pivot Tables, vlookups, and IF statements. That will help you get about 95% of every type of data extraction you'll ever need.


yep, can use all of those. Pivot table isn't best for what I want here because I don't care that carvers is in the four times and me twice. I just need to know the total count of duplicates. The actual data is over 20k rows so I really don't need to see a pivot table with about as many entries! Seems like the remove dupes and undo is still my best option.
 
She seems to be pretty locked in on doing undergrad at the same school as medical school so I don't think she'd consider it. That being said, I would enjoy the visit. One of my best friends from high school lives less than an hour away.

On a tangential note, I have an upcoming work trip to Columbus. Anything you know of that is interesting to see or do, particularly in the downtown area?
I can ask around, I have friends living in Columbus. And you know, at Wooster she'd have a great opportunity to do plenty of research if she's in the sciences and as a junior and senior would be required to do research as part of her thesis, just saying haha.

Being a bagpiper at Wooster was an incredible experience, and it is really cool leading the football team onto the field. It's probably one of my favorite memories of college. If he was ever looking at Wooster (or if your daughter was interested in football), I'd consider going over for a home game that wasn't during fall break because that is a really cool tradition to see.

As in basketball type shorts or dress shorts? I can see them allowing dress shorts with a collared shirt but not running/basketball shorts which usually is accompanied by a tshirt.

I've done both. I've never encountered any sort of dress code on this stuff.
If someone were picking me up for a professional reason, I'd go business casual. Otherwise, I'm relaxing.

Bagpipes lead the team on the field? That is a different tradition than most. You guys gotta break into jump around with the bag pipes then don't you? It would be a lost opportunity if not. Maybe a long way to the top by AC/DC for another one. Couple of my all time favs right there.

Haha nah, that would end badly. And yeah, we're on the hill with the football team in a line behind us. After the coin toss the run over to the bottom of the hill. We start playing and walking down the hill with the team walking behind us and then they take off running and run onto the field. I know I've shared the video before, but this is from a gopro one of us was wearing.

Doesn't "Come On Eileen" start with bagpipes? Maybe it's just an Irish or Scottish jig. The football team could come running out on the field wearing rolled-up coveralls.
 
Is Spoiled Rotten an actual clothing store or is it one of those sugar daddy dating sites. Getting their ads on here and if thats the clothing they sell, I approve for all but my daughter.

If all you're needing to see is total number of duplicates, try a formula to calculate unique values vs dupes. To start, sort your column based on values and then use an if statement as follows on the adjacent column:

=IF(A2=A1,1,0)

and then just drag the formula all the way down (Please note I just used A1/A2 as an example, just change to whichever cell you need). Basically, returns a 1 if the value is a duplicate of the cell above and a 0 if it is unique (if you switch the 0 and the 1, it will do the opposite). Now, you can just highlight your column and see a sum of the duplicate values (all the 1s).
