Thanks, Dan. That worked, but in a roundabout way. When I reply to you (or type any message), a tool bar shows up at the top of the text screen. Hovering over the 12th icon, 'Insert' shows up in a drop-down. The fourth option is </>code. I clicked on that, and a screen showed up. I clicked 'continue', and I was back at my message with [/CODE] at the cursor. I put in your code (Alt248) and there it was! The degree symbol. Then, I went back and deleted all the "Oh, to get the 'degree' symbol gang, it's simple.
This is for a Window$ based PC and a full keyboard, I'm not sure how to do it on a laptop. A program called CharMap will also work using Copy and Paste, but for me that's too time consuming.
Hold down the <ALT> key, and while it is still depressed type out the following keys on the 10-Key Pad on the right hand side of your keyboard.
2,4,8 or 0,1,7,6.
Here's a chart showing a bunch of available special characters:

..." stuff, and I was left with just the degree symbol.
I'm going to bookmark your chart for future use.

P.S.: It was 28° and clear at sunrise this morning.
Okay, that answer looks funny on the thread. Here's a quick-and-dirty attempt at an answer. At sunrise, we had 28° and clear.Oh, to get the 'degree' symbol gang, it's simple.

Gimme a break. Snow?! Whomever it is up North that sent this, please refrain.
Indeed. You do not have to live in Hawaii to have this reaction. I was born and raised here, so it is not shocking, just not alot of fun. What IS shocking is that I can drive 3 hrs to find the Arizona of the movies (cactus, 110 degrees in the shade, and rattlesnakes). I have family there, and we take turns condemning each other's seasons.Jeez, my cojones retracted up into my abdomen just reading this!
Us, too. Got 2+ inches yesterday in about 4 hours. Because the ground's so saturated, that caused the creek next to our farm to flood. Come on, sunshine!Sun is finally out! It has been pretty much raining off and on for the past 2 weeks.
