I have a really important event that I'm basically hosting on Tuesday night and I have the world's biggest spot just above my upper lip. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO. My skin in general is really, really crappy at the moment too. Not cool.
The relief after this will be amazing though, I can't wait! And I have a pretty dress for it too. Pretty dresses are always good

Thanks! I think there's been 2 whole versions of this thread that I have missed!
I've been humming away to myself while doing things around the house and it's only just now I have realised I've been humming the theme tune to Emmerdale, I haven't even watched that show in years!!

She can't use it properly (well, safely I guess seeing as she's opening popups) so for the sake of the machine, it should be locked to her.
Wish I could but then she'd bitch and moan at me until I tell her the password. She has her own little netbook for writing on and tends to email her documents to herself so she can use my printer to print them out. Because she keeps downloading hidden object games onto this little not-really-built-for-gaming netbook, it's gone SUPER SLOW despite countless defrags and file purging.
I've told her if she wants to play games, she can get her own laptop to **** up. I paid a LOT of money and put myself into debt to buy SHELDON (Yes, I name my computers. *derp*) and the very last thing I want is for it to turn into a virus riddled piece of crap like the last computer I own.
The sad thing is, even if I were to password protect my computer, my brother is a tech-savy guy and he's circumvent it in minutes before giving me a lecture on how "sharing is caring". FFS, I don't share my property because about 90% of the time, my property is either broken, scratched, infected or generally mistreated.
I can't wait 'til the day comes when I can afford to move out and take my computer with me. No more constantly having to wipe stupid 8bit hidden object games from my hard-drive or have her nag me to use the printer/scanner...
Someone please give me some money so I can make this dream a reality?

I name mine too. Even my iPod has a name.I paid a LOT of money and put myself into debt to buy SHELDON (Yes, I name my computers. *derp*)
Oooohh.. clever.If you must stay with Windows, create her 'very own' account for her to use and make sure it has no privileges to install stuff (or even to access t'internet). Password protect your account (which shouldn't be the administrator account) and leave her to it...
My laptop battery is wearing pretty low now- barely lasts 2-3 hours; used to be a LOT more. Oh well, I'll have to put up with it since (a) I've no money for a new laptop and (b) I installed microsoft office onto it last month and don't think I can move it to another laptop anyway! 0 -

You could always move to linux. That way she wouldn't be able to screw it up.

I'm not an expert in making user accounts on a computer. Do you have any tutorials on how to do this? I'm a bit dense when ikt comes to being techno savvy.

Hello loungers, hope you all had a great weekend!
I'm just back from staying with bf. He really liked the buns and the cookies I made. I was so nervous he wouldn't. He said he was proud of me too. Had a great time as usual. Can't believe it's been almost 15 months. Feels like we've been together for ages but at the same time it feels like we're just starting out, it's weird.
Something odd happened to me earlier. I was just coming out of the bus station in Athlone and someone said "Good morning!" in a real cheery voice. This was at 7.15 this evening.. There are some strange people out there. It was slightly amusing at the same time.
I currently have a chipmunk sitting on my keyboard and being very cute. His tail is all cute and bushy and he's making the little sneezy sound he makes when he's happy. He's very excited, I think he missed me. 0 -

Can't wait to see my new friends in the morning! I'm bringing in The Notebook on dvd for one of the patients. We had a big, long chat on Friday and she was telling me that she never has anything to do and it gets her down so I'm gonna try keep her occupied all week. (I checked out what other dvd's she has so I could see what she's into and she had things like Titanic so I reckon romance might be the way to go! Plus, I asked her had she seen it and she said no but that she'd love to so hopefully this cheers her up a teeny bit) 0

'fraid not. I don't do Windows; not since Windows 98, I've been on linux since about Y2K or thereabouts.
Go to Control Panel -> Users or some such and see what options are available...0 -

Hi Ladies, hope ye all had a lovely weekend.
I'm only working two days this week but I've still got the Sunday night blues in a big way!
But in excellent news, I've found Tesco sells massive bottles of my latest addiction. Yumzers...

I have to be up in 7 hours for work.
Then I have to go to work.
Then I have to work for 9 hours.
I am not happy about this! :pac:
Bubblefett's plan for Posy's super awesome day:
When you get up have chocolate for breakfast
When you go to work buy a 99 to eat on route
When you're in work have a bag of pick n mix to keep you buzzed all day
When you finish work YEAY!! (though you'll probably sugar crash) 0 -

I need to have a moan about one of my friends hasn’t really been a friend lately.
I helped her out tonnes when she was preparing for her presentation because I knew she was really nervous about it. I hated the thought of her feeling stressed or worried about it since I know from personal experience with my anxiety just how hard it is to stand up in front of a group of people and speak. So I all but did the Powerpoint slides for her, taught her how to use it for when she would be doing the presentation, gave her index cards to write her additional notes on and brought in my laptop for the day she was to do her presentation and just generally provided words of encouragement. I did all that for her and I never even got a simple thank you. Is it really that hard to say?
I only did so much for her because I know she has stuff going on at home and I didn’t want her having to worry about the presentation on top of all that. Of our group of friends I’m the only one who actually understands, to a degree, the situation at home and I’ve been the one she can confide in and talk to and gain sympathy from. I’m furious with myself for being so nice to her and helping her out so much now that I realise she doesn’t appreciate it one bit. Am I overreacting? I just feel as though I have been taken advantage of.
In other news, I’ve tonnes of college work on at the moment. I don’t have any time to myself and am feeling fairly run down as a result. 0
