So it's been a couple days since my cat died, and i found out about my mom, and i've spent almost the entire 2 days dwelling on it.

its been a rough couple of days, but today i went to see my mom, and she seems fairly optimistic about it, so i'm put at some ease now. I'm still worried, and scared and depressed about...

Wow. Sounds like a pretty great time at Comic Con. I'm sorry it was tempered by your Mom & cat. I'm sorry about that.frown

Stan Lee, huh? While I sold my collection of Marvel comics (including the waterpaint Kiss oversized issue and the 3 Amazing Spidermans not approved by the CCA) for way too little back around 84ish, and never started collecting again, Stan has remained a person with whom I'd love to spend time.

Well, just got online after a couple daze with surreal monitor issues, and am back on with a really old monitor with teensy tinesy windows on the screen.

During the interim I did a lot of changing around in my room and am still making room for my new Marshall half stack tomorrow.

I gotta go find food now.

I'm glad that your mom seems pretty positive about the whole thing. Being positvite affects your health in a positive way.

Comic Con sounds awesome. I would have really liked to see Kevin Smith. He is one of my favorite writer/directors. Justin Long was in a movie I find pretty hilarious, Waiting...

I'm sorry about your cat... I know how that is.

And I will think good thoughts for your mother, and hope for the best.
mildots:
Your right she just needs to make sure that she takes care of herself and follows the doctors orders.

I agree with bald eagle.


No amount of worrying will change anything.

I know how you feel. When I was born my mom had 2 cats. They were apart of the family. when they died at 22 It was a very sad day. I now have 2 cats and if something happened to them I would be devastated. They truly become part of the family. I'm sorry. frown
mildots:
My mom felt the same way when her 2 cats passed away. In about 6 months though she felt that she was ready to adopt 2 more. It was hard at first.

what a frustrating last few days. i managed to get a computer virus that totally crippled my computer. it blocked my access to my c drive and my control panel, took away my administrative priviledges, either deleted or hid a bunch of icons from the desktop, and it turned my entire desktop background into a clickable link that wanted me "buy" virus protection.

i managed...

I used my ipod to transfer. I enabled hidden folders and copied and pasted.

Here is how I did it.

Good Luck blackeyed

I fucking already had just about finished a long comment here (and a longer one in two other placesfrown), but something made all sorts of weird shit happen to my computer and it shut off (I think maybe a plug was slightly loose after I unplugged it earlier in preparation for our daily electrical storm, or else I accidentally hit a bad key combination).

Anyway, bald_eagle pretty much has the same idea. I often troubleshoot my friends' computers, and find I sometimes have to run antivirus software TWICE in SAFE MODE before the offending cybermicrobe is exterminated.

Also, 3 or 4 viruses I've gotten rid of for people were not able to be vanquished by Norton. One of them Norton couldn't even detect, then McAfee detected it but couldn't fix, and finally, AVG Free Edition got rid of it. Point is, if you have Norton, and it doesn't work on it, AVG's free software may very well fix it. I don't know what antiviral stuff you have, though.

As to transferring songs, I'd use a zip drive or some kind of external hard drive.

Good luck!

I had an interesting night.

For those who dont know, i work in a casino. I was working in the Poker cage last night, and apparently, Andy Dick was playing. From what i saw, and from what i gathered from other people, he was there with a couple of guys, one of whom was only 19. He was making out with at least one of...

My doctor pretty much ordered me to start taking antidepressants again. So im gonna start taking Welbutrin again, and now im gonna take Zoloft as well

I'll try to spare you intricate weavings of oral ejaculations based upon my admittedly gap-filled professional knowledge of pharmacochemistry, but in short:

Zoloft is usually prescribed first. It is a Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitor (look it up in wiki maybe), and Wellbutrin is a norepinephrine & dopamine re-uptake inhibitor. This difference in action is significant, despite the fact that both act (among other and varied things) as antidepressants

From my experience, Wellbutrin in this capacity is generally added as a sort of supplement (or perhaps potentiator) of an SSRI, affecting reception and interpretation of additional chemical signals.

In my professional opinion, this should be done with great caution and care, as more is not often better. They affect things broadly and, most importantly, differently from individual to individual. I am glad it's a specialist doing this combination. I believe it can be effective, but would be loath to support a general practitioner combining the two without a psychiatric consult.

Please just make sure your doc monitors your condition while on the drugs, and the absolute most important thing I can suggest is to keep an "emotions/feelings" journal and share it with the doc. Like, document when you take the drugs and any changes, especially seemingly insignificant unexpected changes in mood or whatever. This can be a most helpful resource, should your doc take the time to study it.

Okay, psychiatry was never my major nor was it my specialty, so please don't take my words as gospel. They are just the sharing of one friend's understanding of a subject to another.smile

When I was a kid I had a lot of Happy Meal toys. Over a hundred. Back in the days when they were a lot cooler than they are now. Probably should have kept them. Could've sold them on ebay.
