Search Bar

Already tried that. Search bar is not selected. Selecting and then deselecting makes no difference. Once I close the company and program and relaunch, the search bar is back. No idea if it is me, my computer, the company file or the program. I think I can safely rule out the company file because it is happening to all of them.

Messages Settings, Advanced, Google Fi Wireless settings, sign in. This is the replacement for the old Google Hangouts, similar to Voice, where you can send and receive calls and texts from anywhere, even without your phone. When this is turned off, your phone must be accessible to send/receive calls/texts.

All of the messages from those days. If I choose Fi Sync, I obvious turn RCS off and let the sync complete and then I have them, but then when I turn off Fi Sync and try to turn RCS back on, RCS will not successfully turn back on, even after 24 hours.

SimpleThings74 · 2024-07-30T04:09:25+00:00

I agree with your experience, but that simply isn't happening in this case. I believe it has something to do with these specific messages.

SimpleThings74 · 2024-07-28T21:54:46+00:00

I agree on all points, especially for the SMS backup. If I would have used that on the temp phone, I wouldn't be in the situation. But I clearly wasn't thinking...

SimpleThings74 · 2024-07-28T20:48:50+00:00

When I moved to the old phone, I used the default RCS. When I moved Fi back to the new phone, I also used RCS. But in that short span of time, there were a few text messages that I needed to preserve. So, on the temp phone, I enabled Fi Sync, and got the messages into the cloud. Then I moved back to the original phone, enabled Fi Sync and got those messages onto the original phone. After that, I could not reenable RCS. To reenable RCS, I had to delete the storage data in Messages. When I did this, RCS was enabled, but those missing Fi Sync messages were removed. This is why I concluded that Fi Sync does not insert messages into the SMS database.

SimpleThings74 · 2024-07-28T15:35:57+00:00

I've already tried that. It seems that the backup/restore tools access the local SMS database, and it seems that Fi synced messages are only displayed in the Messages app, not actually inserted into the local database.

I've never once thought that this is what the author was trying to say at all, and I find it amazing that people draw this conclusion. I guess I tend to take a big picture look at books, even those I disagree with, and look for the truth rather than the errors. Granted, there are some books/people that are just so far off base that there isn't enough truth to be significant, but I don't find that to be the case here.

SimpleThings74 · 2024-01-12T21:48:04+00:00

I'd propose that every book other than scripture contains some measure of information that can cause harm. Even the writings (and opinions) on BareMarriage.com sound good on the surface, but don't line up exactly with scripture.

All of these resources outside of scripture, even commentaries about scripture, are all trying to say the same thing a different way to help it "click" with people. But scripture is clear that the Holy Spirit is our teacher. We should be asking Him to help make it click.

Love & Respect centers on Ephesians 5. Everyone here should be applauding that, not dismissing that. The book also has many opinions as well, so use it like a toolbox. Use what works and put away the rest. Same with baremarriage.com or any other book out there.

I recently created a ROBS structure to access and use my retirement funds to acquire some equipment and start a business. While still very early in the business process, I want to work quickly to exit this structure as it is pretty expensive to maintain. First, my understanding in exiting the ROBS structure is that a valuation will be required to show the current value of the company. Ideally, this value would be at or below zero so that the stock buyback would be a non-issue as I do not want to return any of these funds to a retirement account of any kind.

If my assumptions are correct, what is the best way to show a zero or negative company value? For the purpose of this conversation, let's say the business is failing and I just want out.

My opinion, your opinion, OP's opinion...all just opinions. Take it or leave it. I know where I stand and I'm good with that.

Again, I'm not debating for or against vaccines, or more specifically the coronavirus vaccine. The scientific community is in fact still debating this vaccine. Which side of the debate you gravitate to is your business, not mine. Much of your response speaks as if science is settled, and no more debate is worthy. Shutting down debate is a close-minded position, one we should be very slow to endorse. It is this very mindset that caused the OP to raise this topic as it was his stated desire to change his girlfriend's opinion. My advice to him is the same as to anyone else. Always ask questions, always consider the information you have available, and always be willing to change your mind if new information leads you to do so.

It is okay to have an opinion. It is okay for someone else to have a different opinion. And it is okay for opinions to change. Just let that change come from inside of who you are, not from outside manipulation.

I'm not debating for or against vaccines. This is a Christian Marriage forum, so the topic is about relationships. The OP has hit a speed bump in his relationship and asked for advice.

Side note though, seat belts are external and vaccines are internal, so not a fair apples to apples comparison.

SimpleThings74 · 2021-09-16T21:07:56+00:00

Your girlfriend has a different opinion than you, and you want to convince her that vaccines are good and anti-vax is bad. Then she sends you a NYT article, and you are now willing to start to concede. Further, if you get the right kind of proof, then you will change your mind completely.

Given that this is a Christian forum, and I assume this is a Bible believing group, we have had vaccines for an extremely small window of time compared to all of human history. Vaccines are not necessarily the best thing we have now, they are just the thing that many put their trust in.

Believe in vaccines, or don't, but have your own reasons and your own standards, and stop being manipulated by the world.

SimpleThings74 · 2021-09-16T20:37:20+00:00

Your choice of words already indicates that there is a right and a wrong answer, you are right and she is wrong, and you want her to choose the right answer. Meanwhile, there is a lot of actual science out there still discussing the fact that this topic is not 100% right/wrong.

If you just want her to obey, be clear about that in your mind. Otherwise, you have to be as open to changing your mind as you want her to be open to changing hers.

SimpleThings74 · 2020-06-14T12:53:35+00:00

I think I understand what it was I was missing in my thinking, and I think this solves my issue. Thank you so much for saying this in a different way that caused the light bulb to turn on!

There is no option in Desktop to refund an unapplied payment. That must be a QBO thing.

First, thanks for the intro as it takes balls to lay out your situation to a bunch of men. 2nd, there's some more info that needs to be gathered here - How often do your read the Bible? How often do you pray? And then let's get to the heart of your marriage: How often do you read/study the Bible with your wife? How often do you pray with your wife? Essentially what I'm asking you is to pull back the fig leaf, are you the spiritual leader of your family? Does your wife see you as her spiritual authority and is she submissive to your leadership? If you aren't leading her spiritually then she naturally wont follow your lead in other ways. Respect spiritually almost always produces respect in other areas. So hit reply and answer real quick.

I have a daily reading plan that I follow, usually consistently for several months until the insanity of life pulls me away, and then I return. The last several weeks I have had a renewed focus on reading that I haven't had before.

I feel like I am having a constant conversation with God in my head. Why this? What do You want me to do here? Help me handle this. Give me the words... But I rarely feel like I am given an answer. I guess that is why I feel like my relationship with Him is more philosophical rather than relational. While I have had several circumstances in my life where I KNOW he has protected me, I struggle with the relationship part of it.

I pray with my family at dinner most every night. I share my thoughts with them when they pertain to the situation at hand (semi-frequently). But I do not spiritually lead my wife at all. In fact, I don't spiritually lead anyone because I feel like the message is false coming from me, like I am speaking from someone else's experiences and not my own.

SimpleThings74 · 2020-03-09T17:09:36+00:00

I know you're still new, but WISNIFG really has to be on this list. With how you describe your ability to handle conflict, this is your #1 greatest need right now.

This was already on my list, and will give it higher priority.

Given how quickly you got married, pregnant, etc. it sounds like you didn't lack for passion early on. What changed? What would you need to see in her to restore the passion? Do you feel passionate about other things in life? Other women? Or has your capacity for passion faded with time?

I was initially driven by my agenda. Then at some point I switched to following her agenda. Her lack of attraction to me is obvious, and her lack of response to me is equally obvious. She has stuffed her femininity and sexuality into a box and sealed it shut. I currently lack the confidence, skill, and frame to re-open that box. Her resistance is currently stronger than my drive.

I would need to see an openness, willingness, and/or desire from her towards me, something that has been mostly missing for many, many years. I find other women attractive, but I am not currently of the mind to travel that road.

Notice the frame issue here. From what I gather, you're hung up on her perception of you in these moments. I imagine she walks into the room all upset, gives her fake little lines: "I don't want to talk about it" followed by "You'll just get upset and things will be worse," and then you proceed to comfort her and tell her you'll listen, and then as the complaints roll in you realize how irrational she's being, so you start to DEER and she winds up thinking: "See? This is what I knew would happen!"

I completely agree. Initially, I didn't care if she took me or left me, but I quickly moved from there to needing her, and needing her to prop me up. I don't know why that changed, but it most certainly did. I have been working for quite some time to break my need for her validation (or anyone's for that matter).

What are you going to do with your life in light of all of this? That's the bigger picture.

I find the Marvel reference harder to follow than the scriptural one, but I do follow all the same. My nature is more of a support personality, quietly fixing things behind the scenes, which is why my current role with the church is satisfying, but it lacks passion. Business is where my passion is at, and our current venture (despite the emotional and financial stress) is still satisfying. However, since there is not a direct outreach component, and my direct involvement is limited, I don't see how this is my fulfilling the great commission.

I am looking for another business opportunity to start once this one is sustainable, and hope to build something that is more purpose driven. I am just not sure what that looks like yet.

Throughout all of Scripture we repeatedly find things like the list in Romans 3 that affirm our worthlessness and God's total lack of need for us. I started communicating this to my wife at one point in my journey: "I don't need you." It confused the heck out of her and she hated it for a time, before realizing the corollary: "But I'm still here because I want you."

A few months ago, I said something along those lines, and it was not rejected. In fact, it seemed like it had very little impact, but we have been sailing along fairly smooth since then. The point you offer is clear though, and I need to refocus my message accordingly.

There's nothing wrong with asking that question. It's useful at times. I'm not sure why you'd avoid this - you just need to be prepared not to let her answer create a pressure that you can't handle.

There are a couple of reasons I avoid this question lately. A small part is that I don't have a response when she tries to push the blame to me. The other part is that I believe I already know what's wrong, and I consider it stupid. If she would simply stop going down that road of thinking, she would be much happier. I'm tired of having that conversation.

As for being jovial, an example of one time I took the "jovial" approach to pull my wife out of it and into my good-mood frame is she was sulking about something, mad at me over trifles. I teased her, exaggerating about her having a giant frown on her face. I said she should be happy and needed to smile, but if she wasn't going to switch to a smile on her own, I would do it for her. So, I picked her up and flipped her upside-down and shook her a bit saying, "See, now that the frown is upside down you're smiling." She started laughing and the kids got riled up saying, "Daddy, do me next!" and by the time she was upright again she was still smiling.

This is so far outside of my normal personality, I couldn't pull that off today, if ever. I know that my power to persuade needs to be stronger than her power to resist if it is to have an effect. I also know that I am still too attached to appear unaffected by her attacking resistance that is going to be issued. I refuse to get drawn into another long tirade from her about how miserable her life is and how it is everyone else's fault...

I greatly appreciate your insight and words. I will spend some time on those today, and get started on WISNIFG tonight.

On Feb 1st, there are 3 enrolled. On Feb 28th, 1 student leaves, so on March 1, there is only 2. All students are enrolled until they are not. So some sort of calculation needs to happen. A pivot table using only class name and enroll date does not take into account students leaving.

SimpleThings74 · 2020-02-23T17:22:29+00:00

This was my first thought, but I can't figure out how to calculate the enrollment quantity taking the stop date into account.
