Ooooh noms :)
Good guess, tjohn, but the sour cream is for my daughter. Only the chocolate is all mine.
OK the meds are down the hatch -so far, no rumbles.
Peh. Really are too many people like this: http://taesospiritdragon.deviantart.com/journal/The-Nerve-of-people-asthma-related-350204038
Is really making me hate people right now >_>
Can barely think or move, and people around her mocking and taking advantage of it. "Hey let's ram her over with this cart" and "Ohh so sorry, but you have to pay 40$ extra because you forgot to use your card while nearly coughing to death. Sux to be you loser."
If I had the money I'd commission her for something, but until next month I'm broke DX
Thanks, but rum is out because I'm diabetic.
Sipping a Diet Coke has always helped my stomach settle. Just enough to bring the gas off my tummy. Used to be regular Coke, but you know - diabetes. :)
Try ginger ale then, you still get the gas to bubble up, plus ginger has benefits, and there's no caffein. I generally don't care for diet sodas, but the Waist Watcher's ginger ale isn't bad.

Also did this for a friend's birthday which was today (She turned 19 :D )
Of one of her older dragon models having omnommed a delicious cake... And a silly knight <3</p>
A dragon's two favorite foods ^^
So yeah um... The crumbs on his (?) chin and belly didn't come out exactly the way I intended
Hehe fabulous draggy :)
Oooo...want Chocolate Cake! Can't eat it because of the diabetes but that doesn't mean I can't WANT it. :lol:
What I really want is some Hershey Kisses with the liquid caramel centers. Someone please eat some for me! :lol:
I just had a Dark Chocolate kiss...same brand anyway.
Dana
...hah! Welcome back.
I have Campbells Chunky Chicken Noodle, it's going to be lunch! :)
I feel a LOT better today than I did Saturday, no fever, just tired.. but I'm earning money even tired so I'm happy-ish. Only going to get 23 hours in this week, but February rent is already in the bank so it's not a big deal.
Gotta save for that i7 monster machine! :coolsmile:
I'd love to get an i7.
Hey, didn't you used to be a fish? :-P
Dana
...I have one, but running into configuration issues. For one, Win7 won't see my 1TB Drive even though it shows up fine in the BIOS. Second, even though the GPU is seen in the BIOS, I am stuck with crappy VGA on the display. Putting things together was a lot easier than I thought. getting it all to talk together seems to be another thing.
...your houselady sounds like a totally insecure person who wants to blame others for her shortcomings so she can feel she's in control. This does not seem to be a positive living environment, particularly as others have apparently have been talking about you behind your back.
If this house is administered and/or supported financially by a state, county, or city agency, I think you may have some grounds for issuing a formal dispute.
That doesn't sound like fun. And I hate doing hardware work! I'm a programmer, not a desktop tech. Doesn't matter...I can't afford Windows 7, let alone a whole new computer.
Dana
It's a group home, she's the houselady...she is in control! It's not a good situation to put one's self in.

At least the one I'm working at (And the one I'm living at in another city) isn't like that at all. Neither of the owners are paranoid control freaks, and are really nice people =)

...the hardware work was the easy part, it's all this OS and driver configuration setup stuff I have trouble with. This is where I need an IT tech to help me.

..but if ,as I mentioned, she is under the auspices of a state or local agency, she may be overstepping her bounds.
I have a very low tolerance of seeing people in need being mistreated. From what I have been reading, Kulay is being unfairly mistreated, not only by the "house mother" but others in this group home. This kind of thing has been the subject of headlines and inquiries before. Just because someone is given some title doesn't give them the licence to make someone else's life miserable. Negative reinforcement in a situation like this is not beneficial, it is destructive and only makes matters worse.
This has touched a very sensitive nerve of mine.

I guess you got lucky. But still, the general idea is not appealing to me at all. I spent time in a commune in the 1969-1970 era, but that's not quite the same thing. It was probably a lot more fun! I only stayed there on the weekends during school, now and then. I mostly visited, spent a lot of time there, and went home most nights.

There should be an applet like "Disk Manager" or a "Manage Disks" button somewhere, you will need to use it to PARTITION the drive, is easy even I can do it, but I don't have much win hardware around and not win 7 or 8 so not sure what everything is called now. But Partitioning the disk is what you have to do to assign it a drive number that shows up on the windows desktop :)

I'm sure that happens a lot. I'm not saying everywhere, of course, but I bet it happens a lot more than they would like you to know. I'm not going to comment any more on it, because I don't know her situation...well, not totally. I do kind of know how she ended up in that place, though. I didn't know about this development until I just joined the conversation yesterday.

Partitioning hard disks is very old school...and I don't see it as required. I am still running Windows XP Pro 32 bit and I had a 1TB drive that wasn't partitioned...until it died and when the shop I brought it to replaced it, they partitioned the new one. Again, probably because of old school thinking.
But as I said, I hate doing hardware, and I'm not up on the latest. But I would think that things have gotten better with the newer OS's, not worse.

I can see that, and I agree with you...I'm not saying it's OK, just that it probably does happen a lot more than we know.

..I have two drives one 250 GB high speed HD for the boot drive and a one TB HD for my libraries/runtimes. There is no partitioning involved.

...through these forums I consider Kulay to be a friend of mine. I don't take very kindly to having my friends being taken advantage of.
Yeah, I'm a bit old school in these days of "disposable everything" When it comes to people, particularly those I care about, it crosses the line. This is a major theme in my namesake's backstory.
...apologies, but this kind of stuff really chafes my hide.
...my complaint for the evening.
Partitioning doesn't mean dividing, although you can do that. Once a drive has a partition you can format it and assign a label.
As I said, I'm on your side. I hate that kind of thing, too. I've been taken advantage of enough in my lifetime, not the same situation as her, but it doesn't matter...it still hurts, and sucks. I don't wish it on anyone. And I've never thought of friends as disposable, believe me. The same can't be said of those friends' attitude towards me, though, it seems.
Dana
That's odd...since the word partition means a separation or division. It seems nobody cares what words mean these days, they just use (or I should say misuse) what they want and assume everyone agrees with their definition. That is, when they can even spell the word correctly. :roll:
Good to know, then. I'm sure I'll have to do something like this in the future. My best friend, who also did my hardware and setup for me a lot, passed away unexpectedly in September. So I have to learn stuff now, to keep my own machines working. I miss him (not because of the computer stuff).

It's cold and misty and wet outside, drizzling for the past few hours, and yet my cat really really wants to sit outside on the concrete steps. I don't know why. I can hardly be outside for more than a minute XD
Oooh and I can see the bright probably-full moon shining through the fog. Is actually kind of pretty.

KK? does the (new, blank) drive show up in the Computer Management->Storage->Disk Management section? (screenshot attached of my drives, but all mine are partitioned, formatted and visible...).
Under Win7, the "Computer Management" icon is hidden away under Start->Programs->AdministrativeTools->ComputerManagement.
(I have a little addition called "Classic Shell", which gives me a sensible (read: WinXP-like) Start button etc etc).
Yes that's the one :)
Oh great, means I'll be looking at the same moon in a few hours yay :). Hot with a hot wind here, not nice to be outdoors in right now :)
