Did the OS update on my MacBook last night and now its shagged. It decided to go back in time with an old screen saver and files, couldn't connect to the net or open anything. Tried a few resets but now it keeps trying to start but then crashes.

Off to an Apple 'Expert' next week.

don't know what the hell I ate yesterday but I contracted some funky stomach bug and woke up in the middle of the night in excruciating pain.

Giles and H are the coolest 60 year old dudes I "know". They have killer style and they both are doing what they want to do in life and getting paid to do it. No I'm not ass kissing I'm just stating ~~a fact~~ an opinion.

Salud!

We've got a random love thread–or something to that affect-- somewhere, don't we?

Once told my doctor I was in excruciating pain,and he told me I had no right to use that word as I had never been shot.

self righteous and dismissive id say. perception is reality. you were in excruciating pain. who is hey to say otherwise.

i know a guy who got shot and didnt feel much pain. bullet is still there. too close to the heart to remove. through his arm and rib cage. into his chest cavity.

I routinely see people self-reporting pain as 10, on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the worst pain you can imagine. I see that as a failure of imagination.

indeed. my gut pain lastnight was enough to wake me from a deep sleep and it came outta nowhere. However, I went to the dentist this past Monday for a cleaning and that was mildly painful – uncomfortable would be more appropriate. There's nothing like having a dental hygenist poke and prod your gums for an hour. good times

Didn't mean to in,anyway, belittle what you went through. Just sharing the memory,that got jogged, of what a doctor once told me. He was really old school zero bedside manor.

I think @Matty123 was saying that the doctor you visited was being dismissive to you. It certainly sounds like it

Matty123

correct ^ i dont think you did at all. docs bedside manner was the issue i would say.

Turned out the hard rive was ok and the update just didn't go to plan. All sorted with the update and I got him to put a new screen on it too.

Time machine is on the cards now.
