Looking for a new laptop.

SSD is a solid state drive and that is usually, in this case, used to store the programmes on your computer. its much quicker than an HDD or hard disk drive. the HDD, which is the 1TB is then just used for your general storage of files. so for example by having VLC on the SSD itll make the programme run quicker while the film youre playing will be stored on the HDD.

i would highly reccomend the HP Omen range of laptops. i have the 2016 version and its amaaazing and ill likely stick to them when i next need a new laptop. theyre fast, big storage and it looks pretty too ^.^

I have a HUGE bubble down.

Had a room mate for a while and he moved out. We were good with no room mates, or just the one who is there now, but this older woman I have known for years asked to move in.

I said okay and we moved her stuff in today. As we were moving it in, bugs were falling off her stuff in droves!

She has bed bugs! And knew it and said nothing! And it's so bad that her job told her to not come back!

thats pretty grimm....i dont envy you! are you still going to let her move in??

Becoming afraid to live?

this sounds like something i would have written about my youth and even my current life. i have learned to deal with the fact that friends come and go. that that some use you and once theyre done and you're not of use they let you go. that some pretend to like you because you're in the 'group'. that those you have feelings for may not reciprocate the feelings. giving too much i found was the biggest factor. people will take and take and once theyve taken all they see as useful from you poof theyre gone.

as a result i now have a very small circle of people i see. not many of them overlap into a friendship 'group' but they are all decent friends and have no reason to pretend or be using me. i have decided that you know what, i just dont care. think of me what you will. im living my life, youre living yours. if you dont agree with what i stand for or what im doing then fine, no need to be bitter about it, no reason we cant still be friends. i live life for me, and i have my goals and i am working towards them.

its definitely not easy, and the struggle is real. but letting go of caring helped alot. no ones opinion matters, if youre happy and feel youre on the right path for you and achieving what you want to achieve then quite frankly f**k them! It was a difficult decision to make, and a hard choice to stick by but i am happier for it. i still have my issues but thats just life, some of them are worse for it but many are better. if i find someone special great (though i am kinda looking but i wont just settle).

i understand how easy it can be to feel like giving up on everyone and the world because no one understand and no one cares. and if they dont then you just havent found the right people yet! but they will come along and once they do everything will seem brighter!

oh and i agree with Sherlock, nothing beats the love and affection of a pet...though saying that my cat is the grumpiest thing and rarely shows me either. But i love him all the same and he cant leave even if the wanted to!

I'm the same, my therapist told me that 80% is good enough and I'm sort of coming to terms with that.

i would say an average of 80% yes, give more to some things than others

This is a long one, so please bear with me.

Well from what youve posted it doesnt sound like the happiest marriage and clearly one that is taking alot of work and neither of you are getting what you want out of it. separation can be very scary, and its not something anyone really wants to do.you may find that if you were to go to samoa without him for however long, 6months, a year, that when you finally reconnect and come back together you are both in a better position to make things work? or you may find that you've both been able to be happy without one another and that being separate would infact be the best thing for both of you.

if you want kids and he doesnt then thats clearly a big difference and one he really shouldve decided on and been honest about before you got married. its the kind of thing that can be a deal breaker and in my opinino for good reason. nothing wrong with not wanting kids but dont say that to someone you know does want them.

as for you past you seem to have not done the things you want to for the benefit of other people rather than yourself and while that should have a weighting ultimately it is your life and you should be doing what you want to do. even if that does mean dissappearing with the peace corps for a while and going off radar. there is nothing wrong with being selfish sometimes if its going to be best for you!
