Me too. Now I give it a good ten minutes or more to cool down. I also have sensitive teeth too.

Well my laptop has for all intents and purposes up-and-died. So my access to the internet and forum is curtailed for the foreseable future. The battery died sunday night so the computer shut itself down (it's done that before, no problem.) so I plugged it into the wall adapter. All indications are the adapter is working and the computer knows it is plugged in, but the computer will not start nor will the battery charge so who knows what is going on

I'll check in as I can.

Interesting. I have had this happen too, but somehow I got it turn on again. Don't know how but I never had the problem again.

My laptop can't get the battery charged to 100% anymore. Right now it's stuck at 69% right now.

Ok so weirdest thing happened. I went to take out the trash and wasn't gone longer than maybe five minutes. i come back and area around my door knob is shattered. Completely shattered. I had to go through a window to get inside. Looked like someone kicked in my door for the hell of it and cleaned off the boot print.

Nothing was stolen.

I had to do even more damage to get the doorknob off because the inner workings were bent and needed to get through the door. For the time being I put the doorknob back on without the inner workings and use the deadbolt to keep the door shut. Now I have to go buy a new front door. WTF :bangwall:

Sounds like what happened at my craphole apartment a few years back.

If you recall how you fixed it, pass it on?

Try pulling out the battery and keeping it out for a little while, say a few minutes, and see if your able to turn it on then.

Over the past couple days I've been becoming increasingly annoyed at myself, as well as losing trust in everyone around me, for me this is new, and not good either. It's kind of scaring me, so I hope that it calms down and fixes itself soon, because I hate feeling like this.

Try and look at the simple things. Today for me, for example, I ignored a shitload of family drama and a bunch of yardwork. Instead, we took the kids to see ol' Barney (Barnegat Lighthouse,) then a train-themed restaurant (my son is mental over steam trains,) then a little local amusement park, then home to play in the sprinkler. I didn't get my patch seed mix down; I didn't get my new roses planted... or my begonias (scarlet ones, of course - cookie award applies...) or my cordgrass.

Know what? I don't care. :)

Seems it was a battery issue. The computer will work when the battery is removed, but no when it is in.


And, if you need to talk, feel free to PM me.

Indeed, Anytime you need to talk go ahead.

On other notes, I've woken up with a rotton stomach ache this morning. :|

Thanks guys, spent the night talking to a good friend again, her and I have been Skyping overnight until she falls asleep and made me feel a might better. But thank you all for the invitation to talk, if my current support system doesn't happen to be around I will be more than glad to reach to you guys.

Although still feeling off, I feel a lot better than I did yesterday, which thank goodness, I don't think I'd be able to walk another 20 mile stint to appease my mind at the time, very tiresome, but very very refreshing.

Today's discovery: Vietnamese garlic-chili paste is an AWESOME hot dog topper.

Food Network magazine had a Korean-style hot dog (yes, yes, we know) topped with Asian mustard and kimchi. That's my next frankfurter experiment.

to try and nip those jokes in the bud.

And no, I'm sure those aren't what korean hot dogs look like.
Pugs are so tiny, they probably have to cook longer than rabbits and yield very little meat.
