Quickly losing space in C: drive.

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 14:14:21 PDT

I keep getting those low disk space messages and its very annoying. Every other day, I am doing spyware scans, disk defragmenting, and disk cleanups. It still doesnt solve the problem im having. One day, I managed to get my C: drive up to 2 GB. That quickly dropped to 600 something MB in a matter of a week or two and soon after that, the low disk space message came up. I did all the scans and whatnot, only to have to go back to around 685 MB. Where is all of that data I am missing? Here is what I do to clear up as much space as I can: AusLogics Disk Defrag Windows XP Disk Cleanup System Restore cleanup through Disk Cleanup Webroot Spy Sweeper with AntiVirus What else do I need to do besides getting a huge hard drive and starting over? My C: drive has a max of 30GB and my D: drive has a max of 111GB, with 47GB left. I am getting a complete computer upgrade soon, and that includes a 750-1000 GB HD, but I am worried I will eventually run out of space due to these mysterious file ...

Aspergers and Marriage

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 13:05:09 PDT

Hello, I asked my girlfriend yesterday to marry me and she said yes. But I didn't tell her I have aspergers. I feel bad now not telling her that I have it. How do I tell her so she doesn't freak out and that she will understand me. So she will still want to marry me. For not telling her that I have it. I did tell her before I asked her to marry me that I suffer from depression and that I take meds. I don't want to hurt her. She was k with that:) ...

An idea -Starfleet Legal

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 12:53:01 PDT

I miss Star Trek and I miss those legal shows by David E Kelly. I was imagining the fun legal problems thatStarfleet would have with new wrinkles that pop up when they interact with alien cultures. I'd love a show like that. Then yesterday I read an article that said everything has been done with Star Trek and it's hard to think of new ideas for new shows. Those legal shows seem to never run out of ideas. The Supreme Court has plenty of work, too. Legal ironies just go on and on forever, it seems. I wish I could pitch Starfleet Legal to David E Kelly and some Star Trek people. Maybe they'd like it. If this idea is good enough for anyone to want to steal, like TV producers ever come here, I'd be just fine with that. I just want Star Trek back and David E Kelley shows! Starfleet Legal! ...

Films

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 12:31:06 PDT

I love films, particualry horror, sci fi and fantasy ones and anything thats generally escapist or surreal. But I find that very often I have to watch a film maybe 2 or 3 times before I fully get whats going on. First time I watch I'm too busy focusing on the visuals (or lack of in some cases) and miss the plot completely. I can watch something and enjoy it without understnding it though. If I really want to understand it I will though, its just that it has to visually stimulating to keep my interest usually. Anyone else get this? ...

would you consider the following to be stims?

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 12:08:08 PDT

i've been noticing that some of my "personal" gestures are actually examples of stimming. (ex--shaking my hands is sometimes known as "hand flapping." stretching, moving my fingers rapidly might be "finger waggling.") i try not to do these things in public so much, now that i know. but i still have some personal gestures i'm wondering about. do you think the following are examples of stimming: ruffling the hair rapidly. pulling my lips in and pushing them back out--sometimes to moisten them when chapped, sometimes because i feel anxious. humming. sometimes i hum tunelessly, but i try not to do that in public. is humming out loud when not alone generally socially unacceptable, even when there's a tune to it? just curious about these things. wondering if maybe it would be best to do them less in public overall. ...

Adult Summer Camps in UK/Europe?

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 11:57:53 PDT

Does anyone know of any fun adult camps? I've really been feeling the need to get away lately, but I'm really terrible at trying to plan an actual vacation. I used to go to summer camps when I was younger and absolutely loved it. I like doing fun things, and knowing the exact times and places they are going to happen. :D I'd like to find something adventure-ish, self-confidence-ish, or both. I'd be up for trekking, climbing, camping and such. I could use a good dose of the great outdoors. I'd also really like to experience other cultures, and I'd like to stay within Europe for now (it's cheaper that way). I'm having a hard time finding anything that isn't for children or geared towards religion. Any suggestions? Anyone want to join me? :wink: ...
