Hi Patti,  Here's a big hug for you too!

I hope that whatever's got you down will soon get better.

I agree, I'm completely frazzled.  My 8+ day old computer might have to wiped and Windows (and everything I've done all week) reinstalled!

I'm stuck in Safe Mode.  Gateway couldn't get me out of it and tried a System Restore.  We went back earlier and earlier (I finally did one more myself afterwards, going back to the original install last Thursday) and it keeps saying that it can't restore as there have been no changes to the system.

The Gateway tech said she thinks the system is unstable and I'll have to start from scratch.

I just can't believe it!!  Almost everything I've done has run into problems and taken longer than it should have - and now - this!!!

I remember once I got so frustrated with my computer I kicked the tower over with my foot.   

[Josette]

Patti, I hope your problems (or whatever) are being solved.

Right now I'm soooo relieved.  Someone at wpuniverse.com told me a simple way to get to Run which I needed to get out of Safe Mode.  It worked (if Gateway's system restore had worked, I'd be stuck redoing a lot of what was done this past week - so I'm LUCKY it DIDN'T work!!!) and now the scanner is working too (the reason this whole thing happened in the first place).

So, at the moment I am quite joyful!!!

Well i don't normally talk about my 'real' life out here but I agree so far 2003 sucks a big ONE. . . I've been sued twice by malicious former landlords.  The Judge had denied them twice, told them practically that their INSANE (which they are) and still they sue sue sue .. i've spent $18k on lawyer fees. . how's that for sucks!

I moved an entire continent away to get away from them.  I get to my new locale, my job is dull beyond reason .. .and my closest friend here (for 10 years) decided to down too many vodka collins (not kidding) one night and start spouting ugliness beyond explanation at a mutual friend of ours.  So that friendship is in effect, over (the one who spewed not the innocent spew-receivor).  .

Ohhh and there is more but those are the biggies . . . ++ I don't have cable right now and you KNOW I'm missing DS even if you're all ragging on it .. still i miss it.

I did go to 3 Beekman Place today. . now is that location familiar to anyone out there??

Patti,
            Hang in there girl friend.  I know where you are coming from.  My life is crazy four drivers two cars.  Of course, there are also four jobs.  We need another car!  This is not the time for us to buy one.  I think might remember we put a pool in last year and I don't want to finance another thing.  We must have been crazy to have gone ahead and put the pool in.  What were we thinking two kids in college.  O.K., stop feeling sorry for myself we have really enjoyed it with the hot weather that poured into N.E. this past week.  I will quote my mom, Things will work themselves out.  In the mean time I think I will be pulling my hair out

Another thing my back yard is filled with 14 and l5 year olds.  I think there are any number of water balloons thrown around the yard.

[Patti Feinberg]

Now that there's this forum...I'm very grateful to have a place to chat with friends.

I mean...I posted about life stinking sometimes; some people vent about other things.

We have here a place to announce terrible losses (like to our good friends Castlebee & Josette); a place to announce being pregnant (like I was), job losses, etc.

We get to hear about friends going on tour (welcome back Ringo!)...and about milestones (QuickBook Certification!!!).

I'm just very glad to know that this is a 'safe place'.

Have a good weekend,

Patti

Ain't it neat, Patti?  I just love it, too.

Patti,  I hope you'll be feeling better soon!!

I know what you mean about 2003, so far it stinks for me too!!  The winter started out okay but as soon as the spring and summer came along, things got worse and worse.   My youngest daughter gets expelled from school, she's 17 and suddenly decides that she wants to get her GED instead of finishing school.  Im heart sick over this!  All my other kids finished high school and are now in college and this has to happen.  What happened to that beautiful baby girl that I bought home from the hospital??  Suddenly, she's a different person.  My older three went through that rebellous teenage stage early at age 13 and 14 and got it all out of their systems, and this one never gave me any trouble whatsoever, but now at age 17 she starts??  I figured she's be past that stage by now, but no, now suddenly she's turning into an instant rebel.    I am so heartbroken over this it isnt funny.  But the more you rant on to them and try to preach, the more rebellous they get.     The thing that gets me is that I never had any problems with her growing up while my other three use to have me pulling my hair out!!  Now everythings reversed, they're doing wonderful and she's acting up.   Yeah, this year has been the worst I've had in a long time.   Sorry for going on and on but I needed to vent also.  Thanks for listening,

Julia, I hope things get better for you too.

My older three went through that rebellous teenage stage early at age 13 and 14 and got it all out of their systems, and this one never gave me any trouble whatsoever, but now at age 17 she starts??

My daughter had a very bad spell at 13 and 14, then straightened out to where we thought we had the worst of it licked. She did very well in college... and then boom. Now, at age 22, she's having some god-awful reversion to 13. The problem now is that she has adult issues to deal with and they're building up to where the hole she's in is very deep indeed. We can't -- and won't -- dig her out of it. All I can do is hope that everything we've taught her over the years about actions and consequences is going to get through to her before the worst happens.

Many is the day I wish I had stuck to raising cats.

If it's any consolation Mark, it seems to be virtually universal at that age.  Both my nieces have put my brother through the ringer, but now, at 25 and 28, they are finally getting their acts together.  Sometimes, for some kids, the only way is the hard way.
