So I have discovered this yeah that the Lysol 4-in-1 spray cleaner that I use to clean the surfaces in my house makes incredibly short work of ants. Every day I wake up and there are at least 20 of the things somewhere in the kitchen, I spray them with the lysol and they instantly die, repeat process the next morning. I need to have someone spray the house but since I'm having to repair the AC, money is tight so for now this works. I recommend this process since the lysol cleaner is safe to use on kitchen surfaces, etc.

Long story short... I tried to organize a vacation (was involved the most) for several people, including me and my girl...

... in the end, they all went to separate vacations, I got left home. 'Nice'.

Kinda in the same boat here. No AC because I have no grounded outlets. Sometimes I like putting water on my face and just standing right in front of my main fan. You should buy a decent oscillating fan instead of your next game. :P I live in a capital city, but at least there's not many people here (just under 60k). The only state that has less people per square mile than mine is Alaska. :D

Otherwise a great idea, but there are no fans left in the entire city. None. Sold out :D

Have you tried dousing a cloth (like a small towel or a t-shirt) in cold water and putting it around your neck like in the attached picture? It helps a lot, even if you squeeze some of the water out of the thing (you know, to avoid getting all wet and stuff).

Yeah, that's about the only thing keeping me sane right now :D

Well, not really, but it sure helps :)

My computer case's side panel rattles...so annoying!

Btw, does anyone know what happens if the processor overheats? Can, for example, a game just crash because of this? Or does the processor take the whole machine with it when it goes down?

(Witcher 2 crashed a few times just out of the blue, and the processor showed temps as high as 59 C...)

59 C doesn't sound particularly high, but yes, an overheating processor can cause instability and crashing. It will break down eventually if you let it run on extreme temperatures. Cleaning the heatsink helps as does buying a separate processor cooler, which are available in a variety of prices, sizes and shapes. Just make sure it fits your processor socket and, obviously, inside the case you're using.

My local rugby league team appear to be going out of business; along with the local football team. Rugby League - Crusaders; Football team - Wrexham. Gutted.

All down to poor management/ownership. Too many crooks in sport these days.

Who and what defines sanity?
I take ineffective pills for panic disorter and in depression.
Am I crazy?
That's only mine decide.

Normal cannot be efficiently defined. With so many differences among us, one cannot logically say that someone is or is not normal. Therefore, I have come to realise that perfection itself is the true, intended definition of normal.

Well, if you get panic attacks that are so overwhelming you can't breathe, somebody calls the paramedics for you, and the next thing you remember you're in the emergency room and they're giving you Ativan, crazy isn't the right word for you, but you would have a definite mental health problem.

Everybody has various mental, er, "issues". If normal is perfect, then nobody's normal. Whether these rise to the level of "disorders" or being "crazy" depends on how badly you are hurt by them. Sometimes others can see that in you a lot better than you can see it yourself, but other times the treatment is worse than the problem. And the labels they give you are always demeaning and sometimes worse than the problem and the treatment together.

Of course nobody's normal! There is no common denominator that can be drawn amongst us humans, besides the fact that we're human. It's that fact that makes it ridiculous for people to ridicule others because those other people are different! Everybody is different in some way. But, if we were perfect, i.e. without flaw... well, you can see where I'm going with this.

I just recently applied for DHSH benefits to get myself checked out mentally and physically. I've had severe (IMO, I've never been officially diagnosed) mental issues related to depression for most of my life. But it's only recently that I really stopped and evaluated myself. I've gotten to the point that I'm tired of trying to cope with anti-social, anxiety, and depression issues. Where as before, I could still force myself to co-exist with people and life around me, I found that I was increasingly withdrawing into a shell, and since I'm an online student and everything around me revolved around the internet, I stopped engaging in real life. I barely ever went outside (I'm trying to get better about that), I never left home unless I absolutely had to, and I tried to avoid even family.

I realized I had to try and fight this if I wanted any kind of future aside from basically committing a slow form of suicide, but when I tried to get some type of treatment plan worked out, I was told by our local (I live in a small town, which doesn't help) mental facility that they had no more outreach for low income (or no income) plans, and I'd have to pay upfront for treatment, with money I don't have. After I mentally crashed for awhile, I finally bit the bullet and tried for state aid.

If I don't get some type of help, even counseling without pills, I don't know what'll happen. It's not that I'm suicidal, but I'm just mentally exhausted from fighting myself on the littlest things, like "I need to get something to eat"/"I'm hungry...but that takes so much effort to get up and eat anything. It's not worth the trouble"

I didn't mean to hijack the thread with this. I just felt it was somewhat relevant to the discussion.

It's good that you're at least reaching out to someone. What I can tell you from what you said is that you are indeed going down a very dark path. BUT, you clearly have recognised this, and that's good!

I feel for you, I truly do. Fact: I've been hospitalised before. Went down a dark path and waited almost too long to seek help.

Recognising your problem was the first step to recovery, i.e. a healthier you. Reach out for help to the right people, like your family if you can. Love and friendship are the best bonds you can form in your search for aid.

Good luck, my friend, and I hope to hear from you when you're feeling happier about yourself!
