looks like you both had loads of fun dinesh.
i think it would be good if it happened in the UK.
in Cornwall in Newquay there is a Volkswagen festival called run to the sun, where loads of folks bring their camper vans and beetles. there is camping and music festival etc. one of the traditions is to have water pistols and soak each other as they drive round the town, i have seen young and old with water pistols and even policemen.

one summer i saw a dad encourage his two four year old kids to spray some chap driving by,
the bloke driving turned to them looked really serious and said to them "oh! grow up",
just as we were about to give him some stick for being a kill joy he wound his window further down and poked a supersoaker out the window and soaked everyone.


guess you had to be there , i enjoy it when people behave sillly en-mass

still not smoking
done a week now, been shopping again and the smell of cigs was horrible.
hopefully the smell wont be as significant in future as i have only just stopped.
i can almost taste them as my senses are working overtime. or maybe thats normal and im not aware after 30 years

That's great Julian, I'm sure Lois and the kids are very happy with you

actually im getting just as much stick as i usually get, i thought they mite have cut me some slack but nope.
so i can say i have been tested and not cracked.
gives me the moral highground.

Today I have been thinking about the case of my posts being deleted! I had earlier typed up my reasons for coming to a conclusion but it rambled on so much I decided that nobody would be particulary interested so scrapped it. I have decided to terminate my association with this Forum with immediate effect.
I would like to take this opportunity of thanking all those who have helped me in the past. I wish you all well.

man... sorry to see you go.

Sorry you feel that way but I don't see why you should leave just for a couple of posts being removed. I've had posts removed, in fact I bet there's plenty of us that have, but I think the forum is too important to throw my dummy out the pram over a couple of posts.

Where else would I find such a wealth of knowledge and help for my Windows 7 machine, I hope you reconsider and decide to stay but of course it's your choice what you do.

Not all people are same. Some people take online communication very seriously, this includes me as well. Type of online communication decides my real life mood. If it goes bad, my mood will be bad the entire day and if it's good, then good. If I feel I'm being made fun of and/or insulted, even though indirectly, that results in bad communication in real life with family members and friends/collogues as well as I face some depression too.

 

[boohbah]

trouble with written communication is that it can be misinterpreted very easily, as communication is 70% visual ie body language, facial expression etc

i you could hear me laughing at some of the posts i make you would clearly know i was having a joke, but to read them without that audio then you may think im being mean or cruel.

if you do allow people to determine how your day goes then be careful posting in the chillout room as there is a lot of leg pulling and fun here.
sometimes there may be a language barrier that means you may not fully get the joke and that may ruin your day.

I go back and edit about half of my posts because of how difficult it is to write fluently yet understandably when such critical tasks are being undertaken, without chance of being misunderstood and causing someone to ruin their Win7 or PC. Fortunately this has never happened, but the pressure alone is enough to cause frayed nerves and righteous anger at those who don't take it seriously at all, no matter how clearly its communicated.

I was hoping Mitch would see the other side of feeling he'd been censored, and that's how we all benefit from editing when it's done as deftly as Shawn does. The best any writer can hope for is to have the very best editor in the business, and in this business he is widely viewed as the best. He could take every thread on a given subject, piece them together to flow perfectly while leaving out the chaff, all without breaking a sweat while doing several other things at the same time.

thanks dinesh, i think i am getting there, i feel like the pangs/cravings are diminishing.

Boo hang on.. you'll get there.. we are here to support you in this effort.. I know you can do it.. you have the determination that's needed.. go for it.

That point is so true.

I've had my whole thread removed.. not exactly sure why it happened.. maybe my fault..( subject matter ),
I just wasn't sure why.. I didn 't get upset..I took the missed thread with, as we say down south.. " A grain of Salt " ,
meaning.... it stung a bit.
Hopefully Mitchell will be back soon, I hate to see such a nice member leave .
