How Are You Feeling Right Now?

I was just reading through the thread and reacted. Since it's a hot topic for me right now I'll say 2 cents. I said goodbye to Microsoft 5 years ago and entered the world of Apple and Mac and have never looked back. I had hired a private technician since Geek Squad stunk and he ended up having to visit my home every 2-4 months for hours the last 2 years before I threw it all in the trash. He was a great guy and a genius but it was not his fault for what Microsoft/Windows were doing with their updates or that I had an HP and whatever else. I don't have any tech knowledge as is evident but I at this time and yall have confirmed it, I will not ever buy anything else but a Mac which is what I'll be doing this week.

I don't blame you there, I have used Macs for decades. It is a mix of good and bad with them on the cost but the operating system does seem more user friendly for me at least. I do have a HP Windows 11 because I have some hobby software, astronomy and the like that are Windows only. Linux is a good system to tinker with but it has an even more limited choice of software and so much has to be done from command line. I actually like that part since I started with PCs using CP/M and DOS.

So I discussed my situation regarding my friend's birthday with another friend, who said basically don't give it another thought. She said she wouldn't be driving 3 hours round trip for anyone's birthday party at night, especially an unfamiliar route. And this is if I had a car, which I don't at present. Having to rent a car and be driving an unfamiliar vehicle AND taking an unfamiliar route just makes it insane.

As someone who grew up not allowed to say "no" to things that were too much trouble, I have difficulty trusting my own judgment. Also having a personality with both a high behavioural activation system (basically a desire for stimulation and new experiences) and a high behavioural inhibition system (sensitivity and easily overwhelmed) is a brutal combination. I really am not a "party" person and prefer being around 1 or 2 other people otherwise I get overwhelmed.

I actually still feel guilty but will take this as an exercise in self care. I will take my friend out another time when I am mobile.

The time has come for the little boy cat. Tomorrow he will climb the rainbow bridge to oblivion. He is so weak he can’t even jump onto low furniture. I’m a wreck but it’s the right thing to do. My friend is going to accompany me to the vet. I suspended all the drugs we’ve been giving him and gave him a big helping of food for dinner. I hope that no one will be in this position when I go over the bridge. I have made my position clear on leaving my health directive. But it still hurts.

I'm so sorry. He will always be with you in your thoughts, and remember you have given him a great life and love. Is there a mobile vet who can come to your home? My friend got that for her kitty and I thought that was a good idea.

Remember to honor his memory by not allowing yourself to suffer too much - he wouldn't want you to be sad.

And having lost a beloved cat myself, I can tell you that the pain will lessen over time and be overshadowed by good memories.

Is everything okay?

Worried about my niece. Last night she was hysterically crying and saying that it would be less painful if she were just gone. Can I take care of her dog? She hung up on me, I called back and we talked for about an hour but she kept repeating herself, but we also talked about self care and stopping negative thoughts.

She just went through a bad break-up and I'm worried about her. She also drinks and I can't tell if she's sober sometimes when I talk to her. Thanks for listening SF friends.

I'll pray for her..I hope everything goes well..you're a kind person..nice to be there for her..hugs..

id say the nasty headache be giving me sensory lost. sensitive at everything, i only hope i dont get nauseas time to time.

Yeah, the last one may have been one of a kind. I THINK I have solved the problem or at least found a workaround. On new laptop in Firefox the peer to peer video calls keep freezing. On the old laptop they're fine in firefox. So I assume it's a laptop fault. So before I head into the office to retrieve my USB Lan adapter (modern laptops also come without ethernet ports - very helpful!) to see if it was poor laptop wifi - I thought I'd try it in Edge. Bear in mind to test this I had to set up a call on laptop then go and accept it on another, and then set up video recording software so I could then pretend to be the other person, then head back to the other laptop.... What a palaver. Anyway I managed to record 2 minutes of freeze-less video of myself rambling away so maybe that's it 🤷

Meanwhile people are wanting to schedule and re-schedule meetings left and right, I just want to hide under the bedclothes right now. But maybe I won't have to go through the GDPR nightmare that is shredding all my work files etc on the new laptop before taking it back. Maybe the browser swap will work. What frustrates me is the waste of time with all this. So I might have a solution, but now have palpitations and feel sick with all the stress. I might just tell everyone I've developed a condition and can only do phone calls from now on!!!!!

I hope your stress leaves you..😊😊

Fed up. I used the new laptop for its first video meeting. And the other person kept freezing on screen. A laptop in 2023 that normally retails for £450+ and it can't do video calls out of the box. The machine won't install the driver it recommends itself. I'm now wasting time when I could be earning money and am panicked about my next video call. I had to swap to the old laptop, same software, same connection and it works fine. I guess I could just do that for video calls, but why should I pay a lot of money for a laptop and be forced to use my old one because the new one is a piece of rubbish?

I'm sorry....
