Tired but elated. After watching the laptop I wanted for months on end, I finally bought it. When I first saw it, it was £399 and I thought I'd buy it. When I went back it had gone up to £429 so I waited and waited, and it went up to £469 for the last month. Last week I saw it still at £469 but there was a 15% off promo. I was tempted. However, today I checked and the price had dropped to £429. With the 15% off that was down to £364 and I got £5 of loyalty points too so I basically got the new laptop for £360 *stars I'll pick it up on Monday! In the meantime my current laptop is working perfectly, but seeing as 80% of my work depends on a laptop it will nice to get a new family member and I'll at least have a working spare. Laptop death without a spare is stressful!

Oh and I don't actually have to pay for it until next October as I got it on 12 months interest free so I can also earn interest on the £360 for a year. The gift that keeps on giving! 🤣🤣🤣
*woohoo congrats on the new
Laptop. I hope it makes your life smoother.
 
I know that others have lost their pets and my heart bled for the survivors and now I’m going through the same grief. Not so much grief as sadness because the cat is still alive. But by the end of the week he might be gone. He is not well. Right now he’s in my arms purring and I have to cherish the moment. But he doesn’t deserve this illness. But I am sad.
Nobody deserves illness and it's so hard when it's your pet. Just remember the great you gave him though, and the painless death we allow to pets. He will always live in your heart. I lost a cat years ago and I still dream about him. He was a bold spirit and inspires me to adopt his example.

Really one thing I'm happiest about in my life is the care and affection I have given my pets. I can't give a great life to other humans but I can give it to my kitties.

Lol, finally can say I finished. I had 3 updates that wouldn't install. Retry failed. Who'd have thought Windows is so stupid, you have to turn off updates, restart, and then resume updates, to fix this error. Ah well, I'm tired and hungry now so time for some food!
One of the good things is as long as the machine can connect to the internet it is often beneficial to search online for solutions, whether the advice is from forums of various forms or on YouTube.

A bit overwhelmed. Got my new laptop and it's setting up. It asked me if I wanted to restore apps from backup and I said yes, but am now worried what happens to apps that only have a 1 device licence?! Like, do they stop working on the previous laptop. It had been my plan to migrate slowly to the new one as I'm so familiar with the old one's setup (even the keyboard and touchpad feel different.). I also weirdly feel like I'm betraying my old laptop as it has provided years of service despite being dropped numerous times. Then again the fan keeps making a crunching sound and the battery is dead so it might only be a matter of time.... But still I feel a bit guilty LOL. On the plus side I seem to have Mcafee installed but a free version of Norton in the box, which seems like a good thing but leads to more decisions. Right the new one is setup, time to have a look. Sending much love to everybody.
your old laptop has provided you with years of dedicated service but now it's time to let it retire in dignity lol. but keep it as a spare just in case. i hope things work out well for you and the transition goes well

he doesn't deserve illness or pain, no person or animal does. you have been a good pet parent and i'm sure he knows that you love him and you holding him i''m sure gives him a lot of comfort. i hope he recovers but if his time comes i hope it's peaceful and painless

I'm so sorry for you @cymbele . . . I'm just so, so sorry! While I know you already know this - having gone through it before - if I were forced to choose, I'd rather do it a day sooner than later. But that is just me, and I know you have excellent insight into this & judgement. I'm sure he was lucky to have had you for his owner and to have been so spoiled and loved. Again, just really really sorry you're hurting so much. He's in good hands for now, and will soon be (by the sound of things) out of pain & free from misery. Just tell him whatever you'd like to tell him before it's too late... & take great care of your-self, when it's all said & done! Peace~
 
They have violated me in every possible way and then humiliated me. Two things that should never have happened to me, because of who I am, because of how smart and protective of myself I am.
If you all think I will just let it go and forget and forgive...
I am shaking with anger and laughing.

I don't care about "don't react, don't get triggered" you hear me? I don't fucking care.
Hugs...I'm sorry you've been treated that way..it must have been difficult..I hope you chose the correct way to overcome these feelings..hugs..🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂*sadhug
 
Life changing injuries sounds perfect right now. I wish I could just take myself away and never come back.
Contemplating divorce. Crazy that the reason I wouldn’t divorce him is that it would leave him with nothing. He’d have enough money for a house and he had a job etc, but he wouldn’t have the family, the kids, the companionship. He has no friends, no life outside of me, which is why I can’t understand why he treats me like a child, why he can be so angry and why I am so scared to ask him to do anything. If I ask I am told how much it will cost, how long it will take and then he will complain for the entire time how difficult it is and the toll it’s taking on him. He will repeatedly tell me why this was a bad idea, or why this will never work, or why I was wrong. I am always in the wrong. I am always wrong.
I'm young..so can't say anything..just sending you some hugs and love..I hope things get better...hugs🫂🫂
 
The education system in Italy is one of a kind. Its lame as hell and I would have never guessed such a system exists in the world. Exams are oral which makes failing way more probable and since you can retake the exams infinite number of times, it makes it easier to fall behind the class. So am in 2nd year medicine while 50% of my 1st years exams are still left, which might sound bad but am in top half of class bein done with the other 50%. However still, there are those who have done better than me, and the envy and jealouy and madness is killing me.Idk how to stop this comparison, its driving me crazy. Sucks being a perfectionist.
