Monday afternoon, I was using my laptop. I left the room for awhile. I had 3 tabs open, CS, and the others were youtube. Upon returning to the room, I found my screen was locked up. Nothing would unlock it, not even control, alt., delete.
I pushed the power button and turned it off. Waited a bit and restarted. Boot menu appeared and stated: No Harddrive found.
I then waited a few hours with the battery removed and computer unplugged. Still, the same thing.
I removed the battery again and unplugged it. Re-installed the battery 24 hours later, turned it on and it worked like a dream!
The newer Dell's no longer use an OS CD. They have installed the entire OS install program on a seperate partition of the hard drive. They have instructions on their website. Depending on make and model. It's so easy to do and all the origional drivers are installed also. On some models, you hold down the control key and the F11 key. It's different for each model. The install program will appear on screen. Just follow the instructions.
I would say that if they do not want to become friends first and nuture that relationship, and they frivilously jump into a relationship with a stranger...
That person is only setting himself up for many disappointments and perhaps struggles, such as Ben has described here.
That's why I will not begin to entertain the idea of simply emailing back and forth to begin a relationship. I want to see how the person reacts to situations with others, how they behave in the forums, and what's in that head of theirs. Are they easily angered? From such, stay away!
I learned long ago that life is too short for the B.S. I would much rather be alone and happy, than with someone and miserable.
If one person is emotionally stable and mature and the other is not, it will not work, no matter how you try. We can not Fix people. People have to want to, and try to fix themselves. We can share wisdom with them, but we can not Make them apply it.
Trees are pruned. This causes them to bear more fruit. We must be pruned also, to bear great qualities.
jac, I agree that it does not make him look selfish or uncaring.
As for the rest of your coment, I would only circumstantially agree. Knowing from my own experience and as a counselor, I have seen many dysfunctional people who have not taken the time to work through any type of self- help for healing and growth.
These people seem to keep a score card of wrongs and are constantly playing the "blame game". A mature person can devote time to understanding and try to help, but many times it is to no avail, if the other party is not willing to learn how to overcome.
In situations such as mentioned, in a relationship, if the party does not seek help and try to work through it, [and you and I both know this takes much time] then I would walk away from the relationship and find a more compatible, healthy minded partner.
Another reason why we should get to know people better before making a commitment into a relationship. Friends First.
I would like to meet someone like that also, Ben. It really turns me off to sit and talk with someone and all they talk about is their ex and what they used to do together. It's as if they have no identity of their own.
I firmly believe that people should not leave one relationship and go into another. They need time to heal and have a healthy mental state.
We need to learn how to let things go. Rehashing is very destructive! If someone makes a mistake and they apologize, then it's OVER! Don't rehash!! Get over it!
Oh yes, jac! Enjoying the journey is what it's all about! Enjoy the Ride!
And as for your last statement..."Does one's spirituality not evolve over time?" ABSOLUTELY!!! I Love that concept!!! That is exactly what happens. Some refer to it as "spiritual growth".
Thanks Wizz! So good to see you back here again! Oh, I haven't made a trip yet and I still have my horse. He's just fine, the stubborn Stallion that he is.
Appreciate your offer, thanks! I need to start getting ready to go to work. Still have to do my ab workout before I go.
Have a FUN day! And go post on my Character Association thread if you will, please.
I agree Ray. The 3 of them intentionally work together. They have succeded and done their dirty deed. When the people finally wake up to see what has been done, they will wonder, How did this happen?
I have been trying to warn people for the past 7 years. Been made fun of, called names and treated harshly, as if I were less than human. Well, they are getting ready to have their way with us and it aint gonna be pretty, so honker down and be ready.
