Home alone when she is partying Posted: 9/10/2009 8:46:03 AM
I have to take it from your profile and this posting that you are not from the U.K. thats very true... i had that in mind when i pictured it, because the bar that i go to is pretty much that kind of environment.

Home alone when she is partying Posted: 9/10/2009 6:51:34 AM
i can't spend every waking moment with somebody i'm dating, and i do value my friendships. if one of you is just tagging along for the sake of being there, its not fun. i hate feeling like i have to constantly entertain the person i'm dating when i'm hanging out with my friends. and whats the point of going to a bar alone? that has nothing to do with british, it has to do with what we men like to call "quiet time" lol

Am I Being Naive Here or Just Paranoid? Posted: 9/10/2009 5:14:55 AM
I really do trust him and I think that is what is making me nervous. you really do trust him? reread your first post lol... you go from saying "i don't want to see him again, but he has his crap at my house,"while insinuating that he might have even left it there on purpose, to saying you really do trust him? wow.

a player? if he was a PLAYER, why would these women be his FRIENDS! are you friends with guys who played you? are you and your ex who cheated on you, best buds? no right? i say, do HIM a favor and break it off. he's being honest, caring, and probably genuinely likes you. god forbid.

sounds like you're not ready to be in a relationship yet. he tells you all these great things, and you automatically think they are just "lines." maybe he really does feel that way. you won't know because you're already in the mindset of him lying to you, probably because you got cheated on. we all get cheated on btw, its not that big of a deal. i know it hurts, but don't let it ruin all your future relationships. we only know one side of the story, and not even that one full side, so none of us can say if you're being stupid, or if you're right, but i will tell you one thing though... the part about him sleeping with all his female friends and whatnot... this is what i don't get about women. they complain when guys aren't honest, and they complain when we are. i've dated most of my female friends, so to say that i've slept with most of them is the truth. i'm open about that, i have nothing to hide. i have no problem telling a girl that. i've run into more problems than not, when i don't tell them right away, because once they hang out with me and my friends, and it slowly starts coming out that i dated this one or that one, they fell as though i lied to them. so now i'm just completely honest about it. i don't know what you want us to tell you... none of us are educated in this scenario to really give you advice. is he lying? is he not? who knows...but the fact that you are automatically seeing something that most women might find just plain sweet is something you should consider. if he's feeding you lines, don't sleep with him. don't date him for a while... if they are lines, the truth will come out. if they're not, and he's being honest, then take it for what it is and just enjoy the compliments.

Is A Woman Over 30 Considered Old? Posted: 9/9/2009 9:23:12 PM
well... honestly? i'm 28, and i'm not saying that 30's "old", but for me, a chick in her mid 30s is probably looking for more than i'm looking for. i'm not looking for marriage, and i'm not looking for anything specific either. i feel like women who are over 30 are looking to settle down, and want somebody of the same mindset. i recently went back to school, i hang out in bars, and i like the idea of not owning a house or anything because i don't want to deal with the responsibility. i honestly don't even know what state i'm going to be in if i think 3 years ahead. so, instead, i date women who are in their mid 20s instead, because they're the more realistic choice when it boils down to it. they normally want the same things i want, and they're ok with me not going ring shopping on our second anniversary. obviously, not every body is in the same boat as me, but what i'm trying to say is, life circumstance might make their assumptions of a woman in her mid 30s appear undesirable to them, based on what they perceive their wants and needs to be, and how it may or may not sync up to their own lifestyle. i could have taken the job at the cable company down the street for 60k a year, but then i'd be doing something i hate instead of going back to school for something i love. the cost is that i'm in no position to have anybody relying on me, or hoping to rely on me in a responsible way for the next few years.

Windows7 Rc, have you got yours? Posted: 5/26/2009 12:58:28 PM
i threw it on my laptop and it was pretty cool, i'm contemplating putting it on my desktop but xp works just fine for what i use it for, and this would be more for just fun. also, i've read on numerous sites that activesync and pda's seems to be sketchy at best, and i flash custom roms on my phone all the time and don't want to risk having it brick my phone.

DUAL DATING GUY Posted: 4/22/2009 11:53:04 PM
you got played. he says that he is only with the woman he's sleeping with, after telling you that you aren't the only girl he's interested in, so you sleep with him? when will guys what? when will women stop putting out like its the apocalypse in one breath, while blaming in the next?! wise up. what i don't get is, you're not cool with all this, like you've got a receipt or something, and you want the sex back because you didn't get what you want for it.

i have all my email accounts on my phone... its one less email at least. and it gets to your phone quicker if you don't use a provider that offers push. sometimes people just don't want to use their computer for things they like this... i'd much rather have the email quicker, rather than later.

my best friend 'loves me' Posted: 4/2/2009 2:59:46 AM
i've always found that if a girl is friends with me, but wants more, its not a real friendship because everything they do and say is clouded by their agenda. the advice they give, the things they do, is all geared towards something other than the friendship itself. i don't trust somebody who has feelings for me, like i wouldn't leave them alone in a room with my gf or something, just because i don't know what they'll do. so it kind of ends it right there. obviously he wants to get with you, and he probably has for a while. i've never met a girl, and all of a sudden years down the road, i consider trying to get with them. either that was the intention in the first place, or i'm feeling kind of bored. but if boredom is the case, something would have happened by accident, moreso than me professing my love for someone out of the blue.

What's the deal? Posted: 4/2/2009 1:53:28 AM
yeah, that makes sense, but i just don't understand why somebody would bottle up their emotions instead of just being honest about it and at least taking the opportunity to talk to you about it. if you brought it up, and he was unresponsive, then you shouldn't feel so bad about it. he obviously wasn't ready for a "relationship." nobody is ever on the exact same page, and its kind of immature to expect someone to feel the same exact way as you, the moment they choose to express how they feel. instead of distancing himself from you, he should have just gone with it, and in the end, he would have gotten what he wanted in the first place. to me though, if i were in that situation, i wouldn't have acted the way that he did. if he really did go day to day wondering when you were going to break up with him, because he said he loved you, then he obviously made much more out of it than he should have, and should probably learn to accept how other people feel. its selfish to assume that anyone is going to feel the exact same way as you. i wouldn't beat myself up over it though, because its obvious that he still needs to work on communicating his feelings, as well as considering others perspectives.

When serious dating starts, do you remove your profile? Posted: 4/2/2009 1:39:09 AM
if he's not being honest about his activity... i don't really use this site for dating, and i don't really go on here a lot, so if i did meet someone on here it would be a rarity. i probably wouldn't delete the account, due to my lack of use to begin with. i do come on the forums from time to time, but i rarely even use my computer anymore. if it was bothering my gf, i'd make my profile private. i really don't care either way. but if he's on here every day trolling around, he obviously isn't too happy with where he's at now. nobody goes car shopping unless they need a new car.....

i would have to assume that he found somebody else, or at least has an interest in somebody....or things just weren't working and he didn't let on about it and after things got "serious", he figured that its best to break it off now, rather than drag it on even longer, to the point where both of you would just be more upset with each other. the i love you thing is just a scapegoat. netiher of you really dated long enough to be saying it and truly meaning it (in my eyes anyways), nevermind taking it back in a huff after the fact.

well, something happened between when he said it, and when you did... why do guys say things they don't mean? i don't think that just falls on the territory of guys. people lie, people deceive, and people tend to say things that further their agenda, whether the realize it or not. i'm not understanding why he would break up with you out of nowhere like that.. there's something missing in this story because it doesn't make much sense as it is.

What are my REAL chances? Posted: 3/27/2009 1:57:13 AM
personally, i don't meet chicks in bars, because i don't want a chick who meets guys in bars. i hang out in bars a lot, i used to bartend also, but that's always been my rule. pretty much, all you're going to find is trouble in a bar setting. bars are an escape from reality, and i've found that bringing people out of that escape really isn't the best thing you can do for yourself. sure there are normal people at bars, but that's usually not the case. your chances of finding a normal relationship in a bar is kinda slim, but it depends i guess. it sounds like you could use a few drinks though lol.. but i dunno.. one night stands are a definite possibility, but from some stats i've read, you have a much higher chance on that from places like this than a bar haha i don't know where to meet girls, i just happen to fall into relationships randomly, from the oddest places.. starbucks, the mall, concerts, snowboarding, whatever.. you just meet people. i tend to try to meet people while doing something i enjoy, so hopefully we have something in common. but yeah, if you do want a girl, you're going to have to find one, they don't just fall from the trees. maybe the married girl has chick friends?

Have i officially taken a brokenheart to the extremez? Here me out! Posted: 3/27/2009 1:48:03 AM
worrying about money isn't a bad thing, because without it, you can't do the things you would want to do. the economy collapsed, i also signed up for the nypd because they seem to be hiring. after being laid off, and getting hired by a company that went bankrupt the next day, i realized that i need something stable. as for being a womanizer, that's really something that you're either capable of being, or not. it has nothing to do with the girl. if you want to blame her for it, fine, but you have to accept what you've done, how you've treated people, and if its really that bothersome, you probably wouldn't be doing it in the first place. the deeper you allow yourself to get away from who you want to be, the harder and more impossible it will be to snap out of it. sinking is a funny thing really.. you sink so far that its not even possible to get out of it, if you know what i mean. you can either choose to be respectful, honest, and caring, or you can become a jaded mess that probably won't ever be cured. you might create a past that you can't escape from, and that legacy, no matter how much you want to rid yourself of it, may just follow you for quite a while. you've got to just admit defeat and move on. so what, you loved and lost. it happens. its no reason to treat anyone else like garbage, you know? but if thats what you want out of life, its going to be really hard to convince someone in the future that you really care about them.

Why do some guys want what they can't have and not want what they can have? Posted: 3/27/2009 1:38:00 AM
Why do some guys like a girl more if they can't have sex with her? well, it depends on the girl. sometimes the girls that will have sex with us aren't as desirable as the girls who have "options" and are more selective. i'd much rather have to work for it than meet a chick and have her take her clothes off while saying "i NEVER do this!" honey, you seem practiced to me. put your pants on and leave, i'd rather not get a disease tonight. Why do some guys like a girl more if they can't see her as much as they want? i want a girl who has a life, other than my life. i don't mind including a girl in the things that i do, but i don't want a chick that's up my butt 24/7. i want someone who has friends, interests....a life. if i can't see her everyday, i hope she's doing something constructive. Why do some guys like a girl more if they can't tell if she likes them or not? maybe the guy is attracted to the girl, and pays more attention to her because he wants to know if she likes him? i don't like girls who don't like me, but i might be willing to spend a few more weeks getting to know somebody to see if there's something there, rather than go with the chick i described in question 1.

password included in weekly email? i know this has been said before Posted: 3/19/2009 12:21:09 PM
but this is such a security concern for me. i get my email on my phone... so say i lose my phone. not only do i lose everything on it, but i also lose my pof account? lol... seriously, if i lose my password, i'll just click the resend password. its a lot more secure that writing it in plain english in a weekly email. who forgets their password every week? its 2009, i thought that we've already read all the memo's about password security. this website looks like it was made in the early days of yahoo (which i don't mind at all), but it also acts that way. this really needs to be fixed. at least make it an option. if you know you forget your password every week, check the box. for everyone else, uncheck it?

Can he steal my signal? Posted: 2/25/2009 3:50:12 AM
ok.. mobile broadband usb modem is pretty much a cellphone for your computer, that only carries data. they have separate data plans and whatnot for these. verizon and sprint have them fairly cheap. if this is plugged straight into your computer, nobody can access it. but if you are sharing the internet from this device through a wifi router, then yes, with a certain lack of security, its more than possible. so basically as long as its plugged in straight to your computer, you're fine.

Cameras in the professional sense. Posted: 1/12/2009 6:15:50 PM
make sure that whatever camera you are getting takes the memory that you are most comfortable using. i recommend sd because it is by far the cheapest and most compatible. i drop a mini sd into my nikon, and sort through the pics on my phone when i'm out and don't want to carry a laptop with me. i can also post them online to the sites i'm taking them for, as well as crop and edit them. it comes in handy.

Zune - all hype and no go ? Posted: 1/5/2009 2:49:32 PM
with zune to zune sharing, you can only play the song like twice, and its just 30 second clips of it though, no? i really don't want an fm tuner, or anything else. my phone has an fm tuner, and i never use it. i only listen to my ipod when i'm driving in my car, and i have a radio in case i ever want it, but i don't... i like the ipod because its simple. it plays my music and thats all i want. i don't want a touch screen, i don't want games, i don't want wifi... that's what my phone is for. and i wouldn't really consider the zune a technological masterpiece. i mean, microsoft did wait about 10 years to release an mp3 player, and when they did, ever cool feature was crippled.

while people will say that skill has all to do with it, the quality of the lens is really what is going to determine the quality of the exposure. if you already have any photographic skill whatsoever, a dslr will most likely bring out whatever talent you may or may not have. nikon d40x's are getting cheaper (the d60 really isn't at all any different minus stop motion and d-lighting). canon xti's are also getting cheaper, and their lenses are fairly cheaper, because you can use older lenses. i stick with nikon though, but that's because thats what i use for film also.

Blackberry Javelin VS Blackberry Storm VS iPhone Posted: 12/3/2008 12:26:24 PM
why a smartphone instead of a regular phone? i don't have an iphone, but i have the latest and greatest windows mobile phone.. i need excel on my phone. i also need access to numerous email accounts at speeds higher than a wap browser or any browser for that matter. why do people need smartphones? because they don't want to carry laptops with them? if you can condense your electronics down to one device, wouldn't you? not for the best user experience, but for a significant drop in how many pounds of devices you carry? sure i could lug a laptop with me, but why would i want to when i have access to everything i need on my phone. if i forgot something at home, i just remote login to my pc and grab it while i'm in traffic. i forgot to bring a cd to school with my work on it... so i accessed it from my phone, sent it to my computer at school, and borrowed a cd and burned it.. that's just an example of how useful these phones can be if you have the foresight to set them up that way. that saved me from losing 2 letter grades on a project. its not 100% entertainment. i read the news on my phone, thats really the only entertainment it has given me so far. its nice to stream music from my pc to my phone for my drives to work and school though... i really don't mind that ability at all. i see no reason not to have that ability.

Blackberry Javelin VS Blackberry Storm VS iPhone Posted: 12/1/2008 2:50:59 AM
the only gsm phone i can recommend right now is the touch pro. the new blackberry for verizon in the us doesn't even have wifi, so that's a problem for a lot of people. android is a nice idea, but i have a feeling its going to be the linux of cellphones, which is (and won't ever be) the best idea for the average user. and samsung isn't lagging, have you seen the omnia? lol.. oh my god. if it had a keyboard i would be all over it. i have a touch pro because i need excel on my phone, and using pocket excel with an onscreen keyboard is like hitting yourself in the head with a hammer. since you're in canada, i don't know what cellphone options you have, but if you do have the option for the touch pro, i highly recommend it. i know that data plans are expensive there, and the iphone is more expensive than the rest, no? the iphone really doesn't do much for what it is, so if you're looking for productivity (which, if you're looking at blackberries, i hope your intention is productivity), i think that windows mobile is probably the best way to go right now. the iphone won't do anything for you, and the blackberry will cost you more per month, nevermind software purchases (you can find most software for windows mobile for free). with the iphone and blackberry, flexibility is almost completely thrown out the window.

any expert in digital photography? canon rebel XT Posted: 12/1/2008 2:42:37 AM
luckily, canon lenses are fairly cheap. get a 50mm 1.8 lens, and set the iso to as high as you can (though, i don't print above 800 normally). if you use a flash, make sure its an external flash. the flash on the camera is just going to allow to to capture images, but they are most likely going to be terribly over exposed where it matters, and under exposed where you thought it wouldn't matter. dslr's are an expensive hobby. but if you want to do the job right, you're going to need the equipment. there's no substitute. experience can't be substituted with good equipment either, so you're going to have to get used to the camera. i would use auto focus if there's enough light for it to work properly, but put it in program mode, so that you can adjust settings as the situations arise. you're going to want control over the white balance because its indoor lighting, as well as iso. if you do decide to buy a lens suitable for the task, put it in shutter priority so that you can handhold the camera (at least 1/30th or above), otherwise the auto settings may drop you down to a shutter speed too low to bother taking pictures at if the available lighting isn't anything decent (which is probably won't be). the faster the lens, the less light you need to take a picture. 1.4 = fast 5.6 = slow and.. i always meter the white balance off of a white object in the lighting i plan on shooting in. this doesn't always work in dimly lit situations where the iso is 800+, but for normal conditions its fine. that's probably the best way to do it. using the onboard white balance presets is usually not a great idea, and auto in anything less than daylight usually doesn't help much either and can actually ruin pictures (though, you could just convert them to black and white lol).

Windows 7's New Features Revealed Posted: 11/8/2008 2:11:54 AM
i have to agree... vista is the equivalent to me, which was garbage and ms knew it. 2k was the start, and xp finished it. vista was terrible, and they're pushing seven out as soon as they can make it work, which makes perfect sense. if they can make it work, good for them, but most people haven't switched to vista, regardless of what ad campaign they are running for it. maybe people who buy machines with it installed stick with it, but nobody i know is risking their data for an upgrade, which means something. i didn't use windows until 2k came out, and until then, linux seemed like the only alternative. but i needed software compatibility, and 2k had it. xp had the same. vista? not so much. and finding new programs to do my work didn't seem worth dealing with vista for. if seven is as pretty as it looks, and works, maybe i'll switch. but i haven't found a single reason to switch to vista, which is a problem for ms, because i should be their target audience, not a new pc buyer who gets stuck with their crappy software.

Need some help fixing a scanner-printer Posted: 10/27/2008 6:13:53 PM
if the inside of the port is broken, and the plastic that holds the contacts is cracked, you're going to have to replace that... chances are, its connected straight to the main board in the scanner, but you never know... it could be a seperate board that could be replaceable. it depends on the specific design of the device. more information is needed to give you an answer, but you're better off tracking down a breakdown manual for the scanner, or just taking it apart and having a look inside for yourself. its possible to solder on a new connection, if you know how... or taking it to somebody who does know how.

this is probably a "feature" to take you off the list of search results for people looking for somebody who is single... its like any other search... like, if you want to search for drug free people, why would you want to see search results full of people who have "prefer not to say" for drug use.. obviously, if you are drug free, you would just state that, same as marriage or anything else... if you prefer not to say if you are married or not, chances are, you probably are married.

recommendations needed for photography software and scanner for massive loads of documents Posted: 10/26/2008 10:21:23 PM
softwarewise, i'm slightly confused. i assume that you don't want to simply combine your pictures into a folder, and then sort through them yourself....because software isn't really going to be able to do that for you. if you were to put all your pictures in the same folder, and sorted by date, you could at least arrange them by date. adobe bridge can be helpful in showing specific information about the pictures (if that info is in the picture file), such as date and time taken, but mainly you're going to have to start a method of organization and stick with it. catching all your previous data up to that point is going to be pretty much on you. for modifying them, i primarily use photoshop. i can't recomend a better piece of image editing software. if you want something more condensed, maybe try photoshop elements. i don't touch the image editing software that comes with consumer cameras. the only thing close that i use is capture nx 2 from nikon to edit raw images. i assume this is more advanced than you're looking for though. my camera interface software dumps all the pictures that i've taken onto an external hard drive, and then i go through that upload and take the pictures i want to keep and put them on my main computer. when i plug my camera in again, it looks at what i downloaded last, and starts a new folder with anything taken after that point. this way i always have a backup of my raw images, and anything i do after that can always be reversed by digging into the backup, and i don't lose anything. you're going to need a ton of folders with descriptive labels. i can't think of a piece of software that can make catching yourself up to an organization practice any easier besides time itself. as for a scanner that's going to go through all your records for you, and scan them appropriately, that's kinda tough (and expensive if in any was possible). maybe look into a fujitsu scansnap model, they can be found for around 500. its sheet fed, and can export batches to .pdf front and back, 50 sheets at a time. besides that, you're looking into a machine that is upwards of 5k most likely. if your paperwork is sorted at all, maybe you could just export them to .pdf in 50 sheet clips, and work on it file by file that way. you're just going to have to get organized. its nearly impossible to find something to easily convert one organizational practice to another...which is why many doctors offices still have storage units full of filing cabinets. if your paperwork collection is so large that this isn't an option, maybe the only plausible way to handle it is to let somebody else do it. it depends on how much time you want to spend, and how much money you think your time is worth, nevermind equipment costs.

Advice for a Gamer? Posted: 10/24/2008 12:02:24 PM
well, here's the thing. gaming is an anti-social activity, so normally i would say that if you want to find somebody with certain interests that you have, you should go to places where people with that are interested in that go....but if you are playing games in your living room, i don't think that's the best place to pick up chicks. changing your profile or whatever...maybe, but i say get out there and find somebody, don't rely on the internet by any means... but i mean, i dunno...are there places where gamers go? i don't know, i don't really play video games anymore.. but if there are, go there.

Over 40-STD safe Posted: 10/6/2008 12:20:46 PM
there was an article in details magazine about middle aged men who cheat on their wives, who aren't afraid of stds. 2 were doctors, one was a lawyer. they hung out together, and just picked up women at parties and functions and whatnot. one story that makes me laugh that one of the drs told was how he met this model in chicago, and they had sex that night, and a few weeks later he realized he had chlamydia, and a month or 2 later he ran into her again at another function, and she was so hot that he took her home and got it again. some people just don't care, regardless of education. its a narcissistic point of view.

Am I just being a jealous B**ch? Posted: 10/3/2008 12:08:49 PM
look, don't preach your god to us in order to make yourself look and feel better about how you have conducted your life. from what i've noticed, you've proven yourself to be a religious fanatic. every other word that comes out of your mouth is god faith christ or bible. how do you convey a thought that is truly yours, when all that comes out of your mouth is 2000 year old gibberish. no wonder this dude sought out the company of his ex, talking to you is probably like talking to a peter popoff operator. i'm not saying that they're sleeping together, but sometimes, when you find yourself dating a religious nutjob, and you bump into an ex at the supermarket, you might want to keep in touch just because your girlfriend is kinda insane. you actually used god as an excuse to f*ck this dude....god chose him, he was the one...in the real world, there's no god, and there's no "one", except when people need excuses because they're not strong enough to follow their hearts and deal with the consequences. in your fantasy lala land, you get to do whatever you want and blame your shortcomings on not being perfect, while using god as a crutch to prove your moral superiority to the masses, regardless of how you actually live your life. you preach all this stuff, but your actions are as mortal as your beloved christ. i get it, nobody's perfect, yadda yadda yadda...but there's a certain personal accountability that you seem to lack. YOU slept with this man, against your religious values, you slept with him. you threw them to the wind. you obviously aren't fit to preach religious babble...you should really consider reevaluating your religious stance before coming on here and preaching all this religion stuff. if you're confused about a situation, fine...come here, and ask for advice...but there's no need to get all psycho-religious on us. you talking about religion is like john edwards running a couples counseling session.

Am I just being a jealous B**ch? Posted: 10/2/2008 5:55:31 PM
I wish more women thought God choose them to sleep with me. LOL oh my god... thats great. and kinda true. you can't harp on being misled, lied to, or mistreated if you yourself can't honestly say that you put everything you had into the relationship....because judging by your posts, every other word is "God", yet you slept with this dude, and then expect him to respect you and your feelings, even though you only make them known through accusations and long-winded emails that he probably didn't fully read (because seriously, who would?).

Am I just being a jealous B**ch? Posted: 10/1/2008 2:49:41 AM
first off, you're not in love. you don't know him long enough. you've known him for a few months, so calling that love is insulting the very premis of the word. second, you have no right to be "included" in his potential home buying, nor do you have any right to be included in any purchases for that matter. third, you are putting too much weight in a semi long distance relationship with somebody who you obviously don't trust. as much as you'd like to say that you do trust him, and you know that he won't cheat on you, you don't know him very well, so assuming anything along those lines is just naive. fourth, are you talking about myspace? his profile doesn't state his relationship? you're in your forties, and i assume he is too considering his considerable history of failed marriages.... do you really know what you're getting yourself into? nope. you just assume that you do. you knew at sight that he was the "one"? that's just...yeah, i'm not going to touch that. regardless, no, you don't have a right. to anything. whether or not he buys a house, if he helps his ex or not, or anything else.. you looked for him on that website, whatever it is, and you found him... if you snoop, you will find something. it's not like he was on the main page and you just happened to see his picture. are you being a jealous ****? no, you're being a typical insecure woman. obviously he has little tolerance for that, so obviously your chances of both being each other's "one" is kinda slim. you need someone who mistakes jealousy for love. personally, if my girlfriend was basically accusing me of cheating on her, or wanting to, or even just complaining about myspace friends and ex girlfriends, i would stick it out for the night and leave in the morning as well, because i too have very little tolerance for those conversations. you're jealous of what you thought was the enticing girl in the hot tub or whatever, you're jealous of the "scantily dressed, voluptuous and beautiful" women, and you're jealous of his ex's money, along with the corvette too. maybe even the bike. you're either jealous, or severely insecure. either way, you need to work on this before attempting a meaningful relationship because you're just going to scare the men with self respect away.

Saving data externally Posted: 9/30/2008 11:11:51 PM
external hard drive, only plugged in and running when you are adding files to it, or taking files from it. you want it to be secure, away from power outlets so that it can't get surged.

Midnight lover Posted: 9/29/2008 4:18:21 AM
well, i don't really do much during the day... so usually i see the people i'm dating at night unless they're living with me or something. during the day i usually just sit around and read, catch up on school work, etc.. if its a big issue, you should talk to them about it. i've had relationships where it was a problem, and others where it wasn't... it depends on the person. the thing is, where i live, there's not much to do during the day besides shopping, or going to parks and whatnot...and i'm not really into either, so i just get whatever i have to get done early on in the day so i can just relax and do whatever i want at night.

the right time for wood?! Posted: 9/29/2008 4:12:36 AM
erections are something that guys just can't control. they are subconscious, and require absolutely no thought process, nor expectation. so to judge somebody's intentions based on something they have no control over is childish....its like following his breathing pattern and making a judgment on it. seriously, don't you have anything better to worry about than something that even he can't control? quit wrestling with him and "playing around", and act like an adult, and maybe you won't be bothered with such trivial issues. and i wouldn't really take it as a compliment, because like i said, its subconscious... how would you like it if he gauged your intentions on the warmth of your crotch.

stage of relationship you quit looking at profiles Posted: 9/24/2008 11:53:36 AM
you know he's chatting with women? have you seen the emails? or do you just know he has a profile, and you assume that he's chatting. if you just assume he's chatting, then you probably have less to worry about (besides your insecurity), but if you know he's chatting with women, then he's looking for the opportunity to cheat. whether he finds it or not, that's just a numbers game...but if he's outwardly looking for women, then he is ready to cheat and all he needs is a willing partner to do so.

Need computer help!!! Posted: 9/21/2008 2:01:15 PM
just keep comodo running, and scan once in a while with malwarebytes and you should be fine. they're both good programs. i find that if one doesn't catch something, the other will. i make it a point to scan everything i download with malwarebytes, because comodo will catch it if you try to run it regardless.

i got a nasty virus once and malwarebytes was the only thing that could get rid of it... try rebooting your computer in safe mode (hit f8 during boot before windows screen comes up) and scanning with comodo, as well as rescanning with malwarebytes. did you look up the name of the program that's running in google? if its a known virus, there are probably writeups on how to get rid of them.
