10. Gotta admit...
I got lost there. And it's true in some cases, form follows functionality but say you were given a choice...one or the other but you couldn't have both...which would you choose?

19. very well = not to be silly by default; if where form follows function which is true enough...
then you're referring to a wholly other matter i.e. when hubby refers to what he refers to as Pixie/Faerie Attire such as shoes with string straps laced round the ankle and little more as being "stylish but not useful"...form has not followed function and so they are therefore only in the lightest sense formed and teetering on function if at all and perhaps especially when that little string *snaps* getting in or out of a cab with a head full of tipsy bubbles

do not get lost then; when function made need, nea be required to precede form i.e. out on the tundra hobbling about on pixie string shoes (shoes in name only) would clearly not suffice give me therefore what is functional, and if i still have any druthers left *form fitting* Wolverines http://www.wolverinebootsandshoes.com/Main.aspx :thumbsup:

14. Only person I'm showing my house to
is my cats.

They like to play with the popcorn, though. Then store it in their kibble until the next time, along with the Legos and beads and K'nex and stuffed animals and pom-poms and whatever else they can get their little paws on.

:eyes:

16. Well, this is a very serious matter here. But varying factors prevail.
During computations, you have to take in certain considerations about form and function. Namely:

How do you want your form to function?
What is the ultimate function of your form?

Form function formulation hasn't been narrowed down to an art form yet.

18. That may be true
but has the functionality of the formatting fundamentally affected the form, freeing it from flowing from the font of formulaic formality?

Huh....? I think I need an Advil now...

:crazy:
