ty all for the welcome back posts. made me feel good :)


you have to wait a week?

something like that. They orderd new stuff (couch or what is broken, i had a mail as they called me while i was working) and when they have it, they will contact me back somewhere next week.

I should change my HA. Been awhile. I'll have contact in NJ on the laptop. It's just so slow that I won't spend as much time on it as I do my desktop. Plus mom and I share it so she should get to use her own computer sometimes while we're there. lol I unplug the computer now when I shut it down so it can't come on randomly. My other problem atm is that when I start it up sometimes the monitor doesn't show a picture inspite of being on and windows having loaded. I have to reboot for the computer to finally get the picture to show up. I believe it's the computer and not the monitor. The little reading I did is that something is not seated properly like the memory or the gpu or power supply are going bad. None of that will be upgraded until my brother upgrades his computer and I get his handmedowns. If this thing hadn't started happening I would have taken my computer to NJ but I don't want to lug it (it's heavy and we have so many stairs) and then have it not work. Way too much effort.

wow, I would think they would replace the couch, not just send the part that was broken

Wonderful. FF just closed (it's a company thing) and I had lots written..... (#&$%($#)@(&#%&#(%& not even close to how I'm feeling about it

anyway... I was thinking power supply, also. It's a common mention in random stuff but the only reason I replaced mine was b/c the fan stopped working. (actually I think I may have just replaced the fan since the PS from another desktop I had was too big for the tower of the one that went out)
GPU - no. It's not your video card. Didn't you just have it replaced last year? Either way, when the video card is going out, it doesn't act like that. Also, re-seating the RAM isn't hard at all and if it was going out, you would get blue screens and they give you a code, and you can actually start the computer without it to see what it posts. (little more complex, but not by much) I've had the PS issue, video, network, HDD and RAM going out on me, so I'm familiar w/ some stuff. Yes, replaced all myself from hand-me-downs... not ignorant of hardware anymore, just not savvy. MicroCenter and Newegg (online for both) have some of the best deals for a lot of different parts. Thinking of the power supply, if that would be an easy fix. It's extremely easy to replace, too.
Would absolutely love to help. It would just require time and patience and me asking you a bunch of questions. In the meantime, I'll look around places I know for some better information.

i really don't want to go. i don't know how to avoid it. i see the psychologist again on the 30th and idk what to say or do to get out of it

i asked them via email as they send me an email about it and no answer :-(

I'm sorry to hear that. I wouldn't deal with that company again

not until i got my stuff and then give them a bad review and never go back

Thank you, you guys...seriously! This whole situation just makes me feel stupid, and my counselor hasn't gotten back to me yet. I did call and leave a message, so we shall see how things go on Monday.

The structure that I like is that physical classes are not done on my time. I do not decide when I log into class, post for participation and things like that, and I like seeing the Prof and lectures. I looked up differences in online classes vs. physical, and even my counselor said they aren't that different. But they are more different than I anticipated. I do not want to teach myself math. Some things sure, but not math. I've never taken online courses before, so I didn't really know if I could do it. I thought I could, especially seeing some of my coworkers be able to do it...but oh well.

As for moving out, I've already been on my own with Andrew before in Lousiana. I am afraid of change, but he was there going through it with me, and at the time my family was still intact. My dislike of change has come more after the loss of everyone.

We will be in Yosemite May 30th - June 5th! We start the drive on the 29th c: We got a small hitch for the cars for a bicycle rack so that we can safely bring our bicycles. We got one hitch on my sister's car (she uses it for school), and next weekend will be mine since we are taking my car on the trip. It has the least amount of miles on it, so it gets the long drive to Yosemite.

hugs I hope the psychologist can help you feel more comfortable with it!

That is so true on math, lol. I actually tried it many many moons ago, but it was just too difficult, although I'm already not that great at it so that didn't help.
I can see how much that would make a difference in how you deal w/ change. I hope you can find some small steps that you can practice to help you deal more w/ changes.

Yay Yosemite! I guess w/ the bikes, you're not going to be on very rugged terrain? :P

I hope so, too! The good thing about when we move is that it won't be to a different state. so that already helps xD

Nope! Bicycles are for getting around the Park on the bike paths instead of taking the car or buses all the time ^_^ We can also use them to get to the trailheads and just lock them up. I am not that great of a rider to take the bike on a trail...I will fall xD

I don't blame you at all.

Pff they called me today. Telling me they orderd new stuff but could not say the whole couch or just the broken piece... pfff.... still no answer and when i will get it.

wow what a lousy company. I would report them to the Better Business Bureau, if you have one where you live

we have the Consumers Association over here. If i heard nothing by thursday i am calling again.

good, keep after them
gotta run for today but you have a great day

i will. Have a great day!

Morning to everyone. It's raining here and I love it. We've had a lot of wildfires here. Not close to me but still, people are losing everything to theses fires.
Tomorrow I have class then go to the skin clinic to have stitches removed, I hope. Being a diabetic you never know if your healed enough for them to do that. sigh
Anyway, I hope everyone has a great day.

Hope everything goes ok! I love the rain. As long as I don't have to get out in it and I worry about my family driving and maybe having a wreck.

Going for my second treatment for these dizzy spells. Hope it really works today, because last time I had a nasty headache afterwards and then have been dizzy at least part of every day since. Ugh. I think she helped one issue but obviously not all of them. Sigh

Anyway, wish everyone a nice day!
