Greetings

So ask her what she said but obviously not directly. You need to steer the conversation in the right way, like in the Family Guy episode Peter's Two Dads. You might want to watch that before taking action. And the worst thing you can do after a night like that is insist on seeing each other again. Give her more time if she's obviously not sure what she wants.

I've been running the 7100 build for quite some time now and have had almost no problems with it at all - and those that came up are probably due to the early build. I'm definitely going to buy it soon, it will actually be the first legal OS I've ever owned. BONGO: I'm pretty sure you can run a compatibility test on your system to see if there will be any issues with 7. These checks are pretty thorough, if it says you'll have a problem with something then you definitely will. Personally I haven't had any software problems on 7 apart from Zone Alarm. The best thing about this system is the time it takes to come out of hibernation - my laptop starts in like 10 seconds while normal startup takes about 2 minutes

Meh, it's been sooooo slow for a few weeks now. I've even downloaded a streaming vid accelerator but it doesn't always work.

Same - riding was amazing but the way the vid was made spoils it.

Sounds like that's how mine might look like soon. Natalie was never my soul mate, we couldn't talk heart to heart since she didn't understand my concerns, we didn't laugh much and our relationship revolved around me doing a lot for her, unofficially helping her financially by taking some of the load off her etc. She never did much for me but I don't see how she could - she wasn't mobile, she earned very little and was adamant about being independent and not take money off her parents, plus she didn't have much time. We were together for no apparent reason apart from me thinking she was f**king beautiful and charming. Just thinking aloud, I'm pretty sure our "friendship" will wear out soon and probably revolve around the occasional favour like in your story.

Has anyone on here actually been friends with their ex after breaking up? I'm curious as to whether it's possible. I'm sure we've all heard "let's be friends" so many times but from my experience it never works. However, the relationship with my ex is certainly going that way partly because we go to the same group at uni and partly because I don't want to loose someone I've done so much for. I'm not sure if it's a good idea? We can't pretend not to know each other, that's gay. Anyone had a similar situation and would like to share their experiences?

That's probably worth mentioning again.

So true. To be honest, having broken up I miss sex most now.

You'd probably be better off asking that question before buying it. But since it's a good freewheel, you're ok.

'appy birthday man!! :wizard:

Youtube Video -> Original Video

After watching that, I wouldn't allow him to jump over me or get near my balls. Way too sketchy. He's getting old, no denying that. And it's great that he's still riding.

"Cierial" number? You've got to be shitting me. Pretty sure Deng frames don't have a cierial number.

I prefer Vimeo, it's more of a "producers" place than Youtube, where users actually appreciate that they can easily find interesting and good quality stuff. Youtube is full of shit, re-uploaded vids by people for no apparent reason, stupid comments and stupid people. I'm not happy with Vimeo only being as good as Youtube on the upload front when you pay for the plus account, but in other aspects it's way better.

f**k it dude, nothing good is going to happen. If you've already gotten over it, don't whatever you do jump into that shit again. On a related note, I'm seeing my gf (officially not my ex yet) today at noon. It's so annoying that I know we have to break up, she wants to but finds it too difficult, yet what I'm trying to do all the time is make her regret it as much as possible by reminding her of what a good time we had together. In a sense I'm trying to put that moment off for as long as possible and have a good time hoping that it might make her change her mind. Another annoying thing is that in March or April I went bowling with a couple of Honda team friends and there was this girl there who I've been wanting to look up for months now but I didn't because I was with Natalie. We didn't talk much but when we were all saying goodbye to each other, I got a kinda odd warm feeling and gaze from her if you get me. So I called up my mate yesterday to get me her phone number and found out she's now in Munich and will be coming back in February/March Anyway, he gave me her MSN so I'll go with that. Surely she's got to come back to Poland for Christmas or All Saints which is like in 2 days. edit: it's over. Kinda relieved, definitely no more sad than I was before. We parted smiling and gave ourselves strict guidelines as to how we're to behave at uni (we're in the same group). So instead of pretending we don't exist, we're going to greet each other with a hug and a smile. So there we are then - the best 7 months of my life have come to an end. They weren't the best because of her, but they definitely wouldn't be if I hadn't been with her.

Does that value drop by half when you get on it? I've got a II Gen 100% stock CRX.

Saw her a few hours ago at her home. Bought her some flowers to ease into the whole thing. She said she wasn't ready to talk to me and asked me to talk instead, told her that I think we should give it another try and then decide because I just don't know what we should do in the current situation. She said she doesn't think it's a good idea and at the end she said that she wants to split up but it's too difficult for her and she needs more time to think things over. It was so hard for us to say we have to go our separate ways, we just stood there hugging each other and crying.

Thanks man. We're meeting up in her house so we should have a bit of freedom. Flowers sound odd but what I'm trying to do is get back together and then decide if I want to be with her. At the moment I don't know, if we wait any longer it will definitely be too late. And what if things can be fixed? I need 100% certainty that there is no point in continuing this before I say no. Anyway, I'm off. Hope things go well, whatever happens.

That's the whole problem, it's been 3 days now and I'm really not sure if I want to continue this. We're a bad match, we don't understand each other in some matters really important to us, and all in all I was never really happy with her. But on the other hand, I loved her and she loved me, we spent a lot of time with each other, helped each other a lot and it was shaping up to be a long relationship. We were always really keen to work things out even when we had serious rows. We just wanted to be with each other but neither her nor me really knew why. This is it - I don't want to be alone, I love being with somebody and having someone to make happy, give presents, spend time with. And the vision of not having somebody like that is really daunting, especially with Christmas coming. I was never good at finding new girlfriends since my standards are ridiculously high. At one stage this year I was dating 6 or 7 girls at the same time and turned them all down because there was always something wrong with them that I couldn't accept. I'm by no means not looking for perfection but for certain virtues which rarely go together. We're meeting up today at 7pm. She's agreed to see me which means she's already thought things over (and probably decided to break up). Think I'm going to buy her some flowers and just take things from there and talk as little as possible. [/talking to myself mostly]

Why don't you just use scotch?

You've answered the question yourself. Some old Heatsink CNC backings don't fit Echo slaves. Don't know about others.

I'll take your place. There's not much hope mine can be saved, we haven't spoken since Sunday and she ignored me at uni today so... meh.

Is this a real ad, or was it made by an agency for VW to consider using it? Loved it.

That's true, even if you have digital pics of you together, burn them on a disc and remove them from your pc. I did that with my last gf along with all the contact details which I wrote down on a piece of paper. This was one and a half years ago, we've met up today for the first time - and looked back at our relationship as if nothing had happened. Suddenly you realise that despite how bad things were when you were braking up, the relationship has really changed you as a person. You might regret being with her now, but once you've gotten over it you'll see that it was a brilliant 6 years. As for the "I don't know" - I heard that from my gf/ex yesterday. There's really no point in believing that it means anything. It's just a way of saying "no, but I don't have the guts to say it to your face".

6.5 years is really long. This will sound harsh but maybe she needs a change? I was with a girl for almost 3 years once and it started boring me so we kinda lost contact - not unlike the way you described. Have you thought of changing the environment and maybe going on holiday for a week or so? It could do you some good. Perhaps talk to some mutual friends who you know are close to her - maybe they will be able to shed a bit of light on this situation and tell you something you don't know? Such friends can really help when a relationship is going downhill. I know how you feel, frustration and feeling helpless are the most destructive feeling there are.
