It's a pain but must be done, every 2 years you must re-format your HD. I just spent $100.00 at a service center with no results, already knowing what had to be done. So 4 weeks ago I re-formatted my HD myself. It's not that hard to do. My PC is running like new again.
Hold the door open for a stranger going into the mall. Call your brother or sister who you think you hate. Give that pan-handler a quarter. Forgive your ex., for whatever wrongs you believe he/she has done. Love your children, even if they're doing time. Start talking to your neighbour again, even if his dog is still crapping on your lawn.
I know what you're feeling and going through. The mind can't be switched off at will. The old saying, "Time heals all", is true for the most part. You are still in the midst of the trauma, allow yourself time to heal.
I was your age when I lost the love of my life, 54. It takes a while my friend, but you will move on. It's OK to mourn and suffer, it's part of the process. She did not define you, nor will she ever. You are you.
Really, I cheated on my first wife....it didn't make the news, it wasn't even an issue with my friends. 55% of married couples cheat, however, they are working class, so not worth mentioning. Tiger is just a man who made a mistake. If he wasn't famous, who would care ?
In 3 months I'll be moving to Peterborough ON., a town of 112,000 people. (I presently live in a town of 18,000) My daughter will be 18 blocks away, my best buddy, 12 blocks away. My place will be on a river/park and nature trail, but only 10 minutes from downtown.
I'm happy where I am now, but finances dictate the move. I trust that it'll be my last move...I no longer find moving exciting. I've lived all over this country, Canada. Time to settle in to my last nest.
Not a very exciting post, but what the hell. My next post will reveal where I hid the bodies and my encounter with Tiger Woods in a washroom.
Ten years ago my ex., traumatized me in the way that she left me. I suffered through all the stages of recovery, then about a month ago I began to have recurring nightmares (Re: my ex) that affected my whole day. I truly believed that all was in the past.
In reference to my earlier thread, "Mr. President....", I was born June 9th, 1945, the end of WW2. By the time I was 5, we were involved in N. Korea. Since then I don't believe that more than 5 years have passed in my life where either the USA/Canada has not been involved in a theatre of war somewhere. Canada for the most part played the part of peace-maker in most troubled areas. We were known throughout the world as Peace-makers. Under our conservative government for the past several years, we have joined the ranks of war makers. Shame on us.
I would love nothing better than to spend the next 10 years in a world that decides to feed the hungry, offer medicine to the sick, realize that we are all one on this poisoned planet.
Our cultures cause a few problems here, the Western version of war is, "Kill them before they kill you". What do you do with a Taliban wearing 10lbs of explosives with his thumb on the trigger; "Put your hands up or I'll shoot you" ? His goal is to die. How do you fight against a suicidal enemy ?
Everyone seems to think that there's a right and wrong way to subdue an enemy. Man has been at war since he learned to walk up-right, yet here we are again with a bad case of amnesia, attempting to figure out a winning strategy.
Anyone willing to expose a well guarded secret ?
I'll start. I had a one night stand with my first wife's best friend.
