Doctors suck. As usual, can't be told anything specific. Throw some pills at it and hope it gets better. I know what i need to "get better"

my health has been really bad for the last couple of years. At worst, i've been bed ridden, too weak to do anything. Much of the time i just feel very unwell. I'm told to exercise to counteract the stress effects. Unfortunately it often has the opposite effect and makes me feel worse. Its also frustrating because i know 64 year olds who feel better and can do more than me. Still i keep trying. Did an hour on the bike yesterday and almost felt good afterwords.

almost.

no need to apologize. Didn't mean mean to dump on the Thread regarding it anyway. I guess i should apologize. [;)]. The original "[:(]" was more the fact that it's a wednesday in Hell and still got about 7 hours to go till temporary freedom.

on more amusing news.....i'm sure most everyone has seen those clever Mac vs PC commericals. You know the deal....Mac is so great.....PC sucks.....you'll never have problems with a Mac like you do PC.

pffff.

Used Bootcamp to partition my GF's Imac the other day so that Windows could be loaded....(another highly toted feature) Seemed to work fine (did this two previous times with no hiccups) but apparantly third was the charm. Now the Imac won't boot up at all in OS X mode and despite there being 30 days to activate for Windows it won't load without activation.

Even the disk utility feature on the install disk failed to resolve the issue. It kept showing a volume error, said it fixed it but when you reverify the disk, the error appears again. Running out of options, tried to reinstall X without reformatting and losing the volume. Fails.....please contact your software distributor.

yeah...this really feels different from PC. [:D]

Oh my... I am hot here (at the forum ) for few hours and another 100 year war between England and France starts once more... [8D]

It never really ended [sm=00000003.gif] [;)] [:D]

Somehow I suspected that Eric... [:D]

Leo "Apollo11"

i like to hate them...i'm sure the reverse is true ! [:D]

When i went to Scotland, there was a B&B which was hosted by an englishmen. In the entrance of his house was a paint board of Agincourt. Whyle laughing, i said to the man "it's not very pleasant for the Frenc" and with much humor he replied "it is not intended to !". He was very kind, take good care of us, show us a little tiny road leading upper of Eilan Donan Castle, and gave us an adress in Sky island. And i surely can understand someone can be proud of a victory.
In fact, it's all about a childish game of "wich one is the stronger" but if i feel it's silly, i stop it quick because what i really matter about is the man i'm talking to. [:)]

It's easy to be proud of a victory when you aren't standing on the field looking at the carnage.

I absolutely agree with you.
When i was a child, i dreamed of being the hero of a great battle.
Growing older, i just feel i would be scared, sick, trying to hide. And if not on the battlefield, thinking that killing someone else because it's uniform or language is different is probably not enough for a reason.

You should have just used VMWare fusion and run Windows in a VM. That's why I do on my Mac at work.

Why is it that every army seems to have at least one brilliant blowhard? [:)]

i think they have loads of blowhards... maybe that there is only one brilliant one perhaps reflect the overall IQ of the organizations?? [&:] [:'(]

Perhaps, there doesn't seem to be any way to test or quatify that. But you had Degalle for the French,Patton for the US and Montgomery for the US. Many would add MacAurthr, but I found him to be only occassionally brilliant . Each of these men seemed to do a better job planning then their peers, then spend an inordinate amount of time and effort in proclaiming their brilliance. I suppose if they didn't scream how smart they were, then no one would have noticed , and we would simply have 3 (or4) more competant generals that no one ever noticed or made movies about. [8|]

In some respects , I think that they are right. But every explosion needs a trigger. For example WW1 probably would have still happened if Arch Duke Ferdianand had taken a different road that day, but the outcome may have been different. That's stuff for Harry Turtledove to contemplate. [:D]

Oooh. Alt history, the third biggest cause of "u r retarded" posts on the 'net [:D] After Nation X was overrated and the Bismark was sunk [:'(]

similar to Parraells? I found that a bad experience as it really slowed down preformance. Normally Bootcamp works fine....(assuming that's what caused the problem)
