What can i say???? Thank you. Simple words but believe me you made me feel alot better. I mean that. Thank you

and
u can also think about people who go through alot more a day then urself. I just joined the Army and just finished basic training 3 weeks ago, and now go to AIT to become a Information Systems Specialist. My schedule is crazy and I barely have time for myself, but I just keep my head up and look to my battle buddies for morale boosts.

Anytime
Glad to be of help/

Think...
Think about the people in life who matter. If they're the problem then think about... your phone.

My best friend completed suicide 4 years ago. It was devastating!!! The fact that you are here asking, is a good thing. I honestly would urge you to call a hotline the next time you get the blues so bad you feel this way. Suicide is a permanant solution to a temporary problem, and those left behind will never understand why...they will always be left with a hole in their hearts. Trust me on this fact. While it often seems as if it is only you, it isn't. I can guarantee that folks care about you, and that you aren't alone...so go to those folks, or as I mentioned before call a hotline. There is a line in Gone With the Wind..."after all, tomorrow is another day"...you make it dark or sunny, hopefully you will choose to make it sunny.
I hope whatever has you down passes quickly.

You know, i can identify with you man... Life gets ****ty and the past 2 months for me have been the worst, and in all honesty i cant say that i havent had the same thoughts... But i could never do it, i have 2 young daughters and 2 young step daughters that i love more than anything... And i hate to sound like i play favorites, but my 2 yr old means more to me than anything and i couldnt imagine possibly leaving her, if there is one thing that brings me back to this world and reality its her... Moral of my story, there has to be something that will center you and bring you back, think about it

Been there bro...
Been there too... 3 and 6 yr old boys and fantastic wife keep me going.
Check out St. Johns Wart. It really helps me out when Im feeling blue and has little side effects. It has been used extensively in Germany and Europe for years.
I agree with everyone else... There is always tomorrow and it will be a better day.
Cheers.

It would also be a good idea for you to start going to the gym.
Weight lifting has helped me trough some bad times in my life.
It's amaizing how much can a little phisical activity help you.
Go and try it, if nothing else you will at least blow off some steam.

moral of the story is find something to do, something to keep your mind busy, tomorrow is a different day, it cant rain all the time

Exercise...
Try a recumbent bike...

Wow when life couldnt get any crazier

Well I normally dont bring my problems to the site but this one is big. I was on my way to my dads when I got a text from the girl I have been with that says she thinks she might be pregnant! Now the first thought I had was that she was screwing with me because she likes to do tht when im not all in my head if you know what I mean. I have already been woried because I am going in for an MRI early tomorrow because I seperated my left shoulder for the 8th time. I have already had surgery on this shoulder and they already know there is a chunk of bone the size of a quarter broke off and floating around in my shoulder. She knows all this so im thinking she is just screwing with my head trying to get my mind off my MRI but then I discovered she was serious so i proceeded to call my best friend since kindergaten and started talking about it to him she hasnt taken any tests yet but she has been reallly moody and stuff lately so idk but its only been about a week since we have done anything so I dont know just needed a place to vent and some advice. Oh and yes I did protect no matter how gone I was I know I did things safely.

yea I know but we are both in the tenth grade so its kinda hard to do that.

You just go to the chemist and buy one, any doctor in most countries are obliged to treat you in confidence so I wouldn't worry to much about it.

well i just heard about it on the way to my dads i might be able to do something to help find out something in the afternoon

I'll try to share some of my experience
-There is a small chance that you get pregnant when using a condom.
-My ex thought she was pregnant at more than one occation without being so.
- Sometimes the menstruation can be a little off with women, making them worry if they are pregnant or not. This is often caused by using Birth control pills that can set off the menstruation cycle by more than a few weeks.
-You can't know until you take a pregnancy test, you can get from the apothek, chemists, drugstore or whatever you call it. Try and discuss with her before she takes the test what you will do if this or that happens. There is always more security for both of you when you know what the other will do.
At your age, parents can be like a nightmare, but at the end of the day, they normally only wants what is best for their offspring. So they might fly up in scared anger at first, but then they will be supportive after a few breathers...
Remember, all grownups have also been horny teenagers at one time, even though they would never admit it.

what country do you live in? In the US you can get them at any drug store over the counter.

thanks for all the replies and we will talk about getting a test its only been about a week since we have done anything and I did protect so it should be ok.

[Humor] Flash-A-Holics Anonymous

Hello, my name is Jesse W. and I am a flash-a-holic. Welcome to this meeting of Flash-A-Holics Anonymous.
Flash-A-Holics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop flashing and become electronically sober.
It all started with me back several years ago when I purchased my first Windows Mobile PDA from Cingular, which was the model 8525/TyTN. I was introduced to xda-developers and saw many people were flashing custom roms. I was too afraid then to flash a custom rom, so instead took the safer road and flashed a Cingular rom. I soon grew tired of this pda because more than one email account would render the device useless and it locked up constantly. I did, however, sit in front of my computer screen in cold sweats, completely drunk with anticipation and fear of flashing a custom rom. My next pda was an iphone, and soon grew tired of its inflexability and inability to customize, so I sold it and purchased a Polaris. Soon after, while reading through the list of custom roms available, I took the plunge and downloaded one. I was so drunk with excitement, I honestly don't even remember which one it was. My hands were shaking violently as I scrolled through the instructions. I installed Olinex's HardSPL and it worked!!! I was ecstatic!! I almost fainted as I slowly plugged the usb cable into the phone and rebooted it into HSPL. I must have blacked out because I can't remember the actual flashing procedure. The next thing I remember is configuring multiple working email accounts to my ultimate delight! Months later, I tripped over a udK rom message and read how everyone was flocking to his roms, so I tried one. And it wasn't much longer and he had another updated rom out. Drat! I had to flash again... Then again... Each time the feeling of elation a little less than before, the fear not as pressing, the anticipation not as overwhelming. Then he released a rom with Manila 2D. I was one of the rats caught behind the Pied Piper being lead on a journey with no control of my own. I was hooked. I had become an addict. I had become.... a flash-a-holic. I changed to the Diamond series roms by itje soon after because I liked the look and feel of the device interface. Then I bought an HD. Not because I wanted to... because I **HAD** to. Those of you who are true flash-a-holics will understand. If you're sitting there scratching your head, it's not too late for you, you still have a way out. Seeing a custom rom by Dutty, I couldn't resist. I flashed the rom. I've flashed about every rom that comes out by Dutty now, because I can't stand not to have the latest, greatest rom on my precious hd. Just about every weekend I flash. I think I flash in my sleep... v1.9 extreme is the latest, and I just finished flashing it an hour ago and just now got all my settings back to the way I like them.
If there are any other true flash-a-holics out there, please feel free to share.
** Sorry this got so long, I just couldn't resist heheheee.....
Jesse

Only every weekend? I flash mine sometimes 2 to 3 times a day, compound that with I have 2 HD's and thats 4-6 times a day.
OK I will have to admit it slowed down a bit over the last few days but I'm sure it will pick back up soon.
I love to test new ROM's and love to flash my HD

I never thought i would be an addict, that was only for the weak....
My name is Mike and i have a problem....
For me it started with my first Winmo phone, the JASJAR.. I tried to modify it into something more useable and cant even remember which rom i flashed it with..
But as soon as i got the tytn 2 it all went horribly wrong!! I cant remember the first rom i put on it, but then everyone was using the hyperdragon roms, so i changed to that.. Was so excited at how much more use there was in my phone.. Had just got all the progs and settings back to how i wanted them, and a new rom was available!!!
I hesitated about going through all the procedure again for all of about 5 seconds, then flashed the new one, and by the time it was all back to running the way i like there was another new rom!!!
This went on for a couple of weeks until i had to go on holiday to prevent madness setting in...and how painful that was you will never know... a top quality hotel in Turkey with a very slow wirelss connection that would cut out after you had used 1Meg of bandwidth....
Now I have the HD and my symptoms are slowly clearing up due to the current climate of disillusion, but I have no doubt i will be flashing away to my hearts content in a few weeks.....
I would like to thank all my support group for all the help that is given freely and without hesitation, and i might have to look at training to be a chef to slow me down.... or will that make me worse??

Problem; I ain't got no stupid problem. So I flash my PDA a few times a d-d-day...
It all started in the 90's with computers: First I flashed my motherboard BIOS, seeing some nice performance enhancements.
Next thing you know, I'm flashing my vidio card, modem, CD player; I even flashed the home entertainment DVD player.
I would have never been noticed, but I just had to flash the wife's sewing machine....bricked it!
All these years later, here I am hanging out with a bunch of losers......I can quit anytime I want.....ANYTIME!!!
LOL

Hello,
i'm do0fusz, a dofus to the knowhow of flashing, buth still a addict..
Just yesterday i went from 1.8 dutty to L26, to the Lite02282009.
this mornin to dutty 1.9..
i neeed mooooree..
annyone got a good hit for me :|
getting dry here!
* flashed my mother in law...
sewed me

i flash my device two times a day
couldnt choose what to preffer
davideuck for its speed
or duttys for its layout

Don't forget, flashing people is crossing the line...
I don't think I have a problem with flashing. I have limitted myself to flashing inanimate objects at least. I find that the changes which come after flashing sentient objects (people) tend to be undesirable. I flashed some fruit, and some trees (out of scientific curiousity). I could swear they're more vibrant than before, but that might just be some sort of placebo effect... Flashing people on the other hand... well... It just makes them angry. I believe there are too many male flashers and not enough female flashers, and this is what makes most people angry...
Oh... you're talking about flashing roms onto phones... nevermind.
Caid.

i need help!
i flashed a parrot, he starred laughing at me :|

I Cant Resist
Yes I to am a FLash-A-holic...I flash roms, radios everything. I can't seem to stop. It's like my diamond is calling me, I even dream of flashing. Right now i'm waiting for the ultimate "flash" hit....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486471. Unfortunately I dont have an HD yet, but you can only imagine what would happen once IF I got one. lol...Do I need help NOOOOOO it's freedom. I love seeing people on the bus with the diamond and stock rom inching over to look at my custom roms..I've even flashed on the bus "internal method" just out of the need LMAO!!!

Another Flasher-a-Holic and hunter-A-Holic here!
Sad state of affairs our lives have become. HATE YOU HTC! Every day, looking for roms, better software updates, new realsess, news on the future..... love it really... i think or just addicted to making this HD as powerful as possible with the most productive software EVER!!!!
Sound fricking CRAZZZY
Does this journey ever end people we will get back to the old ways of life.... do we want to???
The CRACK is good JA?

Hello my name is Vizag Dude.
Every one else in the room: Hello Vizag Dude....
I am flash-a-holic as well. I am so addicted, that I stopped working. I go to work and even before I start my OutLook, I open my IE browser and pick the first option in my Favs, Blackston: XDA-Developers section.
I am sure if the Admin would check the amount of time I am spending in this forum, he would go crazy. I login from my train via my HD to see if any new ROMs have been released. I go home and putting my 1 year old to sleep, with one hand, I would be browsing this section to see if there were any new posts or new threads. After my polaris, when I got my HD, I told myself, this is an expensive device and i will not flash much. But I could not resist, I think, the First cooked ROM I flashed for my device was Ponosha's... and thats it, from then on... I keep flashing every day... sometimes 2 or 3 times a day.
Thank you all for your support.

i'm a little new around here. i've had my touch hd since december. my first winmo phone. and have to say i too have fallen, there's not a day passes when i'm not hoping there's a new rom to try when i get home. i don't think this will pass. am i doing some thing wrong ? i loved my dear nokia's in the past, but this is so much more....
bl1nky

Hi
I'm Hellonasty and i flash my HD more and less 10 times a day!!!
I'm crazy? lool

I believe I may be a Flash-A-Holic too if only because I'm developing my own custom ROMs. ROM R&D takes A LOT of flashing.

Hello my name is Chris, and I am a flash-a-holic !!!
Touch HD & Raphael constant flashing new ROM's just to see how they work and look, i never knew it could be so addictive !!! what with this forum and facebook i will never need to go outside LOL !!!

Giving Up Smoking

Hi Guys,
Just wondered how many of you have tried giving up smoking and what methods you may have used? (whether succesful or not)
I am currently using an electronic cigarette (contains non of the carinogenics) and have managed to have no real ciggy's in 7 days. - and also have no disire to have one!
I have dropped the cartridges down to the medium nicotine from High and am still doing well! after a few weeks I will move to the Low and no Nicotine cartidges.
this is the most positive try I have had at cesation to date
Cheers
Rosebud

My new girlfriend told me she was not going to kiss me if I didnt stop chewing. seems pretty effective to me!

Hi Mike, Good to know I'm not the only person trying this route!
I am looking at ecigs as a short term solution, but I am too finding myself using it more than I would normally smoke!
I am going to continue reducing my intake and make my way down to the zero nic carts planned for a couple of months time, I figure that in the short term, even tho still not great for me the e-cigs are a better alternative, for a start they contain over 3000 less chemicals
I am already seeing some benefits, I am more awake, I have more colour in my face??!, I have the obvious benefits too, (Dont smell, etc etc...)
the first few days were hard, and I knew I was missing something else other than the nicotine, but I am now used to them
My long term plan is not to smoke at all, Me and the wife are looking at having another expensive habit ( A baby) in the next year or so, and we dont want to be smoking parents, I for one had smoking parents and feel this is probbably a part of why I smoke (and really enjoy it too )

I´m having a hard time with cigarretes also
Wanted to quit but no success till now...
Never heard of e-ciggies, I´ll find out more of them

Orb, there is a lot of info online - google e-cigarette-forum
I found the site has a lot of info.
I know it has only been 1 week, but I would certainly recomend them (I have never gone this long with gum, patches, lozenges etc)
Cheers
Steve

me neither...
I cant leave that thing...
You know when I saw somebody that get a cig starts to smoke even in the tv i feel that i want to smoke too. I can manage to avoid do it in that case.
After the meal... sometimes when I awake at the morning, I smoke.
When its cold...
When i have nothing to do or im just walking on the streets i need a cig.
or when i saw any of my family smoks just fro the meaning of smoke or a nice spoken... i need to smoke.
and the last one... when i need to read a lot of forums here i need a cigarrete
My boss on my job told me one day long ago... i had that vicious thing on my life... but when my first child borns i leave it, it just need to have 2 big balls and hold it tight to void smoke again. thats all you need, guts to leave it.
Im smoking right now BTW

well i might not be very experienced with cigs as most of you guys may be......
but still i managed to quit
i was 17 when i started smoking regularly
it went on increasing for a year or so
all it took to stop me is my girlfriend and sis who always shouted at me when i used to smoke
and a few nicotine gums for a month or so
i suggest you guys to go for nicotine gums rather thn e cigs they are a lot safer and they really help
(havent smoked a cig for about 3 months now and even stopped using nicotine gums)

smoked 14 years, and dropped it now... just dropped, no need e-cigs, gums and etc.. just stop smoking it easy. And now i feel myself maany better.

Unfortunately already tried gum, and lozenges, and inhilator, and patches, and cold turkey, as you can tell from the creation of this thread none of these worked for me.
I believe there is no "one size fits all" solution to quitting smoking.

mayeb then try to have someone to shout on you everytime you smoke(like sis ,gf,mom,wife)
girls are good at this
they will surely help you quit
it might be irritating but atleast will make you think twice before you smoke

hell yeah!
sad but true

9 years & 3 months ago my wife told me she was pregnant with our first child.
I stubbed out the ciggy I'd just lit, crushed the almost full pack I had, and haven't touched a ciggy since. All you need is sufficient incentive and willpower. eCigs, patches, gum, they can help with the symptoms of withdrawal, but they ALSO drag out the process.
Cold turkey lasts about 2 weeks tops. It's not nice; you'll be irritable and difficult to live with, but it worked great for me.
After about 2 weeks of not smoking, you'll discover some things.
* Smell. You sense of smell is seriously affected by smoking. Once your system is clear of it, you'll discover a world of wonderful aromas.
* Taste. Like smell, your sense of taste is also seriously affected by smoking. You'll find it hard to believe just how good food can taste now it's working properly again.
* Virility. You'll be amazed at some of the other things that smoking actually buggers up.
WARNING: Do not substitute snacking for smoking! There's a damn good reason for my nickname!

I quit 5 years ago, I even have constant nightmares about smoking again. The gum, patchs, etc help to smooth over the initial shock of quitting, but you really really really have to want to quit. You have to hate cigarettes and truely not want to smoke them.
I found myself bargaining with myself.. "oh one now and never again" or " one now and then when I'm older I will go back to smoking".. The answer had to be NO NO NO NO NO NO NEVER AGAIN..
Good luck folks, set yourself free

i quit smoking 3 years ago and since then never looked back and felt a need. Its quite easy to quit, but you have to have will power and determination. And mind it when you feel that you want to quit, never run for a last drag, then just quit.

I quit several years ago. Tried first not smoking at all, but two weeks later I was in hell. Then I tried gradually with simple goals like today I'll only do 5, then today I'll just do one, and so on. Until it was like today I won't smoke but I'll have 2 tomorrow. Currently I don't smoke, but I can have 1 cigarette socially from time to time, though I don't really enjoy it that much anymore (because of the smell).

I've just quit cold turkey 59 days ago. The first 4 were critical. After that, all went well. It's just a matter of will. Take it as a test: could you or could you not?

I had been smoking for 25 years, ever since I was 13, and tried everything. And I do mean everything, short of resting on my head, upside down for 30 days. Have tried the gum, the patches, etc. etc.
The solution that I found that works for me, but maybe not for many is Chantix. I was taken a little aback by the price of it. It was $120 dollars for a months prescription. (I used it for 4 months and am completely cigarette free for almost a year now.) And I am a Pharmacy Technician and work at a chain pharmacy!! The problem is, many insurances just does not cover it yet. But when you think about it -- at the minimum 1 pack of cigarettes per day is roughly $3-$4. Multiply that times 30 days = $120. So for me, it was worth it.
Chantix works with certain receptors in your brain. When you smoke, these "pleasure" receptors are active and therefore you get a reward response for smoking. Chantix blocks, fewer then more with continued use, these receptors. So without the receptors being active your body says "whats the point", and doesn't desire nicotine, and smoking. Now, besides the price, there is one pretty big con in the pros and cons of Chantix. You WILL have strange and VERY intense and vivid dreams while sleeping. At times scary, at other times just confusing. This interfered with my sleep a lot, but after about a month they started to be more normal. Granted, this might not have been from the Chantix, it could have been withdrawal from nicotine. I mean, nicotine is a drug.
No course will work for everyone, and you really have to have the desire and willpower to quit smoking. Honestly, I think another reason for my success is that I didn't want to go back to having the dreams again.
Good luck to all that are quitting, and believe me, it is really worth it. I can actually taste food again, smell nature around me, save $120 bux a month, hopefully live longer, breathe better, and have a lot, LOT, more energy.

I quit about a month and a half ago, smoked for 26 years. I'm using that pill chantix, and it seems to be working.. I haven't had a smoke, and I haven't killed any one, and haven't had the urge to kill.. yet. <evil grin>

well there are many reasons which would make someone start smoking
like being a cool kid in school to using cigs as stress busters
and here in india we(college/school students) generally smoke to supress sleep to study and perform well in exams(there is a large group that does it just for being cool though)
there have been times when i had to study for more than 30 hrs at a stretch
so at those times you really dont have any option rather than to smoke
(studying in india is harsh you REALLY have to work hard to stay in the competition)

[Q] So I let a stranger use my rooted Note to make a call. Have I been hacked?

I was walking down the street (in the dark, alone, in London) when a stranger asked me if I could call a number on his behalf and ask them to call him back.I did so; during the call he put the phone to his ear to say something like "Call me, it's urgent... bye" then he returned the phone. Here's where it got fishy.
Now first of all I have a rooted phone- either Rocketrom V21 or V22... and it has crashed during a call once before. But as the stranger returned the phone it appeared to have restarted, and I've not seen that before. It was showing the "Galaxy Note N7000" screen. Being suspicious I removed the battery until I got home. Then (just now) I made a backup in CWM, and it's switched off.
My question is, could he have somehow hacked my phone by making the call? If somebody knows this is just not possible I will be quite relieved.
Kind regards in advance

Relax bub that would be just a random reboot!
SHOT from my LOADED GT-N7000!!

He was probably just pressing the power button as he was holding it and then touched one of the "power off" buttons on the pop-up as he gave it back??
Either that or he cloned it like in the show "Person of Interest" but I highly doubt it

It must have been Skynet at the other end of the line if you got hacked that quickly.

Maybe it was Steve Jobs back from the dead cuz he wanted to see what was taking down his empire...he was so pissed at the fact, he realized he could have made the iPhone 5.3"and completely ruled the entire universe... So out of anger trying to put the phone in dfu mode he accidentally shut it off!

So, you were good hearted to hand your 500 GBP precious marvel to a complete stranger, but then you became suspicious that he might have hacked you? You should be forever grateful to him that he was good enough to give it back Unless you are some very important MI6 agent and hacking your Gnote is more precious to this stranger than simply walking away with it - I'd simply laugh at your funny story, like a parent laughs at his children when they are being chased by monsters in the bedroom And because I highly doubt that a MI6 agent or any other person who handles classified information will ever root their phones and install a custom ROM, I should really just start laughing ..
lol

LOL guys I'm laughting since 10mins reading your comments C'mon poor him he feared himself stop kidding him LoL the only right answer was "don't worry dude that was just a coincidence"

That poor bastard probably wanted to steal it, but after seeing it crash from a simple phone call decided it was a piece of ****. You got lucky it was rooted and unstable

Nice idea for an app. "is my droid hacked?" and then every time users hit "check", is should say: your droid has been hacked! Send it to (my adress) asap!

Reminds me how fool I was 7 years back.
I was abusing some people on yahoo. One of them told me they would hack my computer. And strange things (yahoo booters) started to happen. And I thought my machine was hacked.
@OP it was just a coincidence your phone restarted. Or flash the firmware again, make a clean installation by wiping data.

Wow, you let a stranger use your EXPENSIVE PHONE?? I don't know many people who would do that...it's like asking for troubles in my opinion.....You are definitely lucky that the person didn't have any bad intention.

if a stranger ask me if they can use my phone i will tell them to get their own phone... I don't even let my wife use it.

There are way worse things that could happen by letting a stranger use your phone (and it's highly unlikely you were hacked.) I had a friend that let someone use their phone a couple of times and they spent 5 years in federal prison because of it. The other person was under investigation for gang related activities (drugs) and the number they called was being monitored, too. Since my friend's phone called the phone number being monitored, when the cops busted everyone in the big conspiracy, they picked up my friend, too.
He fought it and sold his house to pay over $100,000 in legal fees, but still lost and went to federal prison. The record of his phone calling that number were all they needed to convict him. So there are way worse things to worry about when lending your phone to strangers than just being hacked.
