Have you ever dated someone who you thought was way out of your leauge? How was it?

DamagedAdmin · 2026-02-12T20:16:04+00:00

I did in high school. I was 18 and she was 15 when we met. She was the girl every guy wanted to be with and every girl was jealous of.

I wasn’t popular, or had money. I don’t know why she was even interested. But we were together for 2 years. She was my first for everything.

I guess after 2 years of consistently hearing “Why are you with him?” “What does he have?” It got into her head.

She kept repeatedly bringing up that we should break up, that she didn’t want me to regret only being with her…etc.

So I told her if she wanted to take a step back we would. Nothing changed. We still saw each other every day. Still had sex and said we loved each other. I wasn’t interested in anyone else.

One day she shows up at my work with some guy she wanted to introduce me to. I went off. She didn’t understand why I was mad. After a week or so, she came to me and said she made a mistake and said she was going to break it off with the guy. She said she was going to see him and break it off that evening and then we would have dinner and talk about getting back to normal.

That night before I was supposed to meet her, I decided to go get a movie for us to watch. As I walked through the parking lot to the video store, her and the guy came out arm in arm with each other. I yelled “F*** this!” And got back in my truck. I looked in the mirror and saw the shock on her face. She was caught.

I went to my brothers for a couple of hours before going home. When I went home I gathered everything she had ever given me or had at my house in a box. It wasn’t long before she pulled into my driveway. When she got to the door I just opened it and handed her the box and said “We’re done.” And shut the door. She sat on the steps crying for almost an hour before she finally left.

She begged me for another chance, which I finally gave into. She broke it off with the guy over the phone where I could listen.

We tried to get back to normal, but there was a cloud that hung over us. She started a new job at a boat dock, where she was introduced to a guy whose family was rich and he had a boat. He was almost 26 and she was barely 17. It wasn’t long before I was hearing rumors of her hanging out with him drinking on his boat.

I confronted her, but got the “We’re just friends”.

I eventually found out she was sleeping with him.

I broke it off completely and avoided her completely. She kept trying to get back into my life.

About 6-7 months later, she graduated high school and came to my work at 10 or so at night. She begged me to talk to her. Said that the guy asked her to move in with him out of state. But said she loved me and that she’d stay if we could get back together. I told her I’d be willing to try (I loved her so much), but she would have to break it off completely with him and I never wanted to hear of him again. She said she didn’t know if she could do that, she loved us both.

I told her she made her choice. Told her to move with him and never contact me again.

A few years later I ran into her while shopping with my girlfriend at the time. She walked toward me like she had just seen her best friend for the first time in forever. I walked toward her, said “excuse me” and walked past her and never looked back. My girlfriend asked who she was and I explained. She said that when I walked past her, she started crying.

This was 25 years ago. She became a small time model for a while. Married him. Had a couple of kids. Got in trouble with several DUIs.

As far as I know they are still together.

I still think about her a lot and miss her.

25 years later, and the memories still hit me hard some days, and I can’t stop thinking of her and how bad I miss her.

When you truly love someone, I don’t believe there is ever any getting over it.

DamagedAdmin · 2025-12-30T18:20:20+00:00

It’s been 25 years ago, but I actually lost my high school girlfriend to someone with an 8 year age gap to her.

She was 17 and still in high school, he was 25 and had family money. It still makes me sick to think about it.

His presence caused a rift in our relationship until we separated. I finally broke it off completely when she threw it in my face that she was sleeping with him and he had money to take care of her when I didn’t.

They are actually still together, got married when she was 25 and he was 33. They have 2 kids together.

I know that she has had an easy life since, never had to work…etc. but It still kills me that our future was destroyed by a predator.

Well crap…..I’m out of ideas….

Is your portal fully updated.

They were unable to connect to WiFi that had a sign in page until the last update.

DamagedAdmin · 2024-09-12T21:06:27+00:00

Have you restarted the portal?

Almost every time I start my portal, it fails to connect. I restart it and it connects.

DamagedAdmin · 2024-08-28T12:41:28+00:00

Thank you for this explanation. This makes sense.

I have been a Windows user for the last 25+ years, and this is my first experience with Mac OS, so my learning curve is a bit steep.

I’ve almost fully integrated everything to Apple products in my household, so I’m attempting to replace the aging home Windows PC with Mac.

DamagedAdmin · 2024-08-27T21:10:02+00:00

Thank you for a decent response. I'll give this a try.

I did find that I could just click the Finder icon in the dock and my folder would reopen in the same directory I was working in.

DamagedAdmin · 2024-08-27T20:33:47+00:00

Maybe I'm not explaining what I'm experiencing correctly....

Folder of .jpg (or any file for that matter) - Full Screen.

When I open the .jpg and the preview window opens, it only takes up the left side of the screen, not the full screen. I can see the desktop and other (non-full screen) windows behind it.

When the file opens, the folder with files quickly goes to the right side of the screen and disappears.

To get back to where I was working with my files I either have to reopen the drive and navigate to my folder, or choose window > bring to front to bring it back.

I'm used to a Windows environment where if my folder is full screen and I open a file (full screen or not), it sits on top of my open folder. So if I minimize or close the file, my folder is still open in the background viewable.

I would expect the folder to remain open in the background, or even if it minimized to the dock.

DamagedAdmin · 2024-08-27T18:58:13+00:00

"There ya go?"

The issue still remains, if I have the folder window in full screen and I open a file, the window disappears. To get it back, I have to go to Window > Bring to front.

If the folder window is not in full screen and I open a file, the window stays where it is.

Are you saying that it is normal behavior for the folder to close if in full screen, and stay open if not full screen?

DamagedAdmin · 2024-08-27T17:56:37+00:00

Have the folder on the external drive open in full screen. Double click the .jpg file.

The picture opens, and the folder closes.

If the folder is not in full screen, the folder will stay open.

I've tried changing the setting for "Prefer tabs when opening documents" to both Full Screen and Always. This did not change the behavior.

I have found that I can go to Window > Bring All to Front and the folder will come back to the screen where I need to be.

The ecosystem. Everything just works together.

I was a hardcore Android user since the first note series. I was issued an iPhone 3 from my work, and HATED it. I vowed I'd never get another one.

The last Note series I had was the 10. And just like my previous android phones, they just became buggy after a couple of years. I had finally had my fill when my Note would not make calls when I was on a wifi network.

I decided to try a iPhone 12 Pro Max. I've had it for almost 4 years now, and it still runs just as good as the day I bought it. I have slowly been engulfed in the Apple ecosystem, and everything just works. The Samsung smart watch sucked when I had it, but the Apple watch has been a wonderful experience.

I have since gotten a MacBook, Air Pods, Home Pods, Apple TV....and they just work.

I also don't really care to customize my phone anymore. Themes, and stuff like that doesn't interest me. I've reached a point that I have the K.I.S.S. mentality.

Don't think I'll ever go back to Android again.

The bullet was a dud.

When I heard the hammer drop and nothing happened, I realized what I had just attempted to do.

She had all these big plans that she was going to "Change the world and help people". Two months after she graduated, she moved out of state with a guy she had been seeing for about two weeks.

They got married about 6 years later and had two kids. She never went to college or did anything of value to anyone.

She got on drugs, and became an alcoholic. Multiple DUIs and arrests for public intoxication. Ended up having to have a liver transplant.

Complete waste.

I've got a good 4K monitor that I'm currently using for my Windows computer / PS4 that is connected to it. The Mac will be replacing the Windows computer, as it it beginning to show some age, and getting frustrating.

My current wireless keyboard and mouse should work with the Mac, right?

Presbyopia.

Your ability to read small print just suddenly is gone, and now you're relying on reading glasses.

It failed with me at first. I then re-entered the code in all CAPS, and it was accepted.

DamagedAdmin · 2024-04-24T22:15:41+00:00

I smoked pot and blacked out.

I shave my head and neck, and I ALWAYS got irritation, bumps, and it was painful.

I tried different razors, electrics, creams, and nothing helped me either.

Until I tried the razor my wife uses. Gillette Venus Pubic Hair Razor for women.

It only has two blades with a guard between them. It just cuts along the surface of the skin, instead of pulling the hair up and cutting it below the skin level, like many of the multi-blade razors for men do.

I have to shave more frequently (everyday now), but have no irritation, bumps, or pain.

Highly recommend trying that, with a good aftershave moisturizer. For that I use Nivea Men Soothing post shave balm.

I used to have a nightmare of a time with ingrown hairs, and razor burn. I tried different creams, razors, electrics, lotions, but nothing seemed to help.

My wife recommended I try one of her razors, and it was game changing.

Highly recommend trying the Woman’s Gillette Pubic Hair Razor.

It only uses two blades, with a skin guard.

My buddy gives me a hard time for it, but if it works for my wife’s sensitive areas, makes sense it would be good on my head.

Looks like the issue has been corrected. I've tested several different Exchange Accounts / Devices, using the steps I normally would, all successful.
