oh my.. their loss, franni.. mhmm..
from what I can tell, you are pretty cool.. they just dont know what they missed.. ;)
Oh I am quite flawed....but thank you for your vote of confidence. It would be quite arrogant of me to fully believe that I had no hand in my rejection. Unfortunately society has become disposable...we all live at the buffet where we try until something fresh comes out of the kitchen.

I have rebuilt myself over the span of many years into who I am today...and of that I am quite pleased. My only flaw is that I am still a human male, with the tendency towards attraction.....in my perfect world (God just said "EXCUSE ME??") that feature would be driven out and banished, so that I would be free to just love the human race as equals, without the heavy price of sensual love.
Only in Heaven..

Yup
I even tried to down load from the ports instead

Hmmm. Have you tried the card in another device or card reader? Also, make sure there isn't dirt or such on the contacts.

First off, does the camera read/write to it OK?

Process of elimination here...

Hell, I have one wonky old USB port on my desktop computer that won't work with some devices at all anymore. After time, they can be loosened from their soldering or just wear off inside. ;)

I use a separate card reader for the desktop.

i have to agree, but only to a point.. its in us ourselves to turn that disposable bit out..
I thought the way you are now for a long time.. been thru some ex's myself..
they kept falling into sink holes.. and no amount of ajax could scrub that taint away..

i looked around and said the heck with it, i'd stay single.. and i did.. for over 10 years..
no dates, not much of anything, save work and my kid..

then i met my better half.. and well.. it happens, franni..
even after i thought it was all the same, there are some out there, waiting.. and worth the wait..

Grats Smoky, you'll be back in no time:)

i cant wait, Whiskey, i am slowly going even more nuts lmao and dont even know it..
but my house sure is cleaner :p

I don't have a reader but it works in the camera fine, I also tried a couple other SD's in the lap top and they don't work either

I have no choice but to wait. I took a personal vow of Celibacy when I made my profession as a Franciscan. I was not required to, but I felt that my time of "sport sex" was over...and that I would no longer treat a woman as an object of desire.....nor as an alternative to masturbation. Perhaps it's an old fashioned notion...but a woman of quality would like to think that when she is aware that a man fancies her...that she is also worth waiting for. God has a mate in mind for me....and only through our mutual trust, faith, patience...will we find ourselves in each other's arms. In the meantime, I belong to the world.

[QUOTE="glassgrl,

Actually no , what he is doing is depriving people who really do need effective pain relief the relief they deserve , not everyone abuses pain meds and physicians who just assume that everyone does and who do not evaluate people on an individual basis are doing a dis service imo.


Could be much worse, right?

Thats really bad , don't see how it could be worse for a responsible person who is in agony. Hate physicians like that.

Could be as simple as a hair or such in the reader's slot, it could just be worn out or it need it's drivers refreshed?

Try giving the slot a good blow (ha!) and see if it reads things then.

Is the SD card getting stuck or jamming ? I probably shouldn't do this but i have given a shot of electronic cleaner in there and it has worked in the past.

Would it not be easier and less stressful for you to merely overlook my posts rather than comment? Or would that betray your policy?

If you prefer that no problem at all , are you actually offended by that (responsible only comment) , are you for real ? If you are for real you have given away that this goes a lot deeper than what you made it sound like in your previous posts .

Sounds to me you are taking everything serious. Whats up with you my friend. Never ever seen you like this before.

Ok Caff, I'll try that, but if the others don't work I am thinking its not a hair.

What make laptop is it?

If you've rebooted the lappy and it still does it, might try re-installing the drivers for the reader:

The driver of your SD card reader could be faulty (corrupt, not out of date). You can check this in the Device Manager as explained below.

Go into the search box in the Start menu, type “Device Manager” and select the program, which will be listed a the top of the menu.

You will get a list of device “classes” which are can be expanded to show individual devices. The reader may be listed under “Disk Drives”, Universal Serial Bus Controllers” or elsewhere (sorry, I don’t make the rules…) or, if it is faulty, it may also be listed under “other devices”.

At any rate, try to identify it, and see if there’s a yellow icon with an exclamation mark on it, or a red X. If there’s a red X, right-click on the device and choose “enable”. If it’s the exclamation mark, right click, choose “Properties” and look under the “General” and “Details” tab to find out what the fault is.

If the error is not obvious, there are two things you can try:

1. Uninstall the device (right-click on it and choose “uninstall”), then reboot the computer and let it reinstall the drivers.

2. Try to uninstall USB Root Hubs under device manager. Then reboot, see how it works.

I have shown by many of my over 5000 posts that I spend a greater amount of time being silly. Whilst this is not a personal judgement of your character or person...I just find the interjections to not be value added yet frequent...and sometimes....wearisome. Do as you will, as that is your right. This was merely a friendly suggestion. :)

Afternoon all, I am around just haven't had time to read and catch up, hope you all are having a great day

Hi JM!! :D


Just tried some of my Morrocan Olive Bread I'd bought...Mmm.

Sliced it, warmed it a bit then spread lightly with sour cream and a sprinkle of garlic pepper.
It's good enough just by itself, but a bit of moisture helps..

Now, I may have to make up some hummus to go with.... ;)

Oh no , do you have a full backup ? I would run a few scanners in safe mode, that will reveal it if you have a virus hiding on there . The best scanner that will wipe out just about everything effectively is Emsisoft anti malware scanner . The most effective and thorough scanner i know of and free to use , it takes awhile to update because it covers every nasty out there .

Before you run it run R.Kill , run it as administrator , it's very fast and safe , what R.Kill does it lets you know instantly if malware processes are detected and if they are it kills the processes so your regular scanner can effectively remove the virus without being blocked .



You can download it here

Value added , this forum is about value , i was told it was about complete and utter nonsense , senseless and insane . Anyways here is what i am going to do because i think your a good man who just can't tolerate me and finds me to be wearing .

This will be my last post on this AU forum and i won't be back , i was perfectly fine without ever knowing what AU was and i'll be perfectly OK now .

What i will never do however , is change who i am because someone else has a problem with my personality , i am doing the right thing here because you were here long before i was .

That being said it was fun , weird but fun for me but it's time for me to move on, love you guys including you franciscan , i wish i didn't cause you the discomfort i have but i always new not everyone gel's with everybody else and thats OK .

I knew very well that the post you left me was extremely out of character for you and i responded and told you so , i new something wasn't right. Take care everybody , i wish you and your families nothing but health and happiness in the coming years and beyond .

Re-read it.
This is not a seniority based forum, I tolerate everyone...or I would have ignored you. I, nor anyone else has asked nor implied that you should change who you are. I did not say or imply that I had an issue with you personally.
Lastly....if being a self styled martyr in this circumstance makes you happy...or if you feel that you are making a point....well I'm not sure what to tell you. You are certainly not teaching anyone a lesson by it. Your company is appreciated, and I know I speak for many. I stand by my statements....but still urge you to give them another read....carefully.
