2 computer questions



Recommended Posts

1- Is there any way to stop having e-mails sent to you everytime someone respond to a thread you posted in?

2-For Dr. Cobourn patients. Has anyone ever e-mailed Dr. Cobourn at HIS e-mail address. I sent him a question I had, and I was just wondering how long it might take for him to respond?

At the bottom of each email are two addresses, one to unsubscribe to that particular thread, and one to unsubscribe to all of the threads

Ooooorrrr... in the thread in question, you can click on "Thread Tools" at the top of the page, and click 'unsubscribe from this thread".

and if you never ever ever wanna get notifications of new replies to posts, go to your "User CP" (you know, where you edit your signature), then in the Control Panel, chose "Edit Options", scroll down the page and in the "Messaging and Notification", there's an area that says "Default Thread Subscription Mode". Yours is probably set to "instant email notification". Chose "do not subscribe' or "no email notification".... I'm sure they both do the same thing, so pick whatever you want!

(p.s. I don't know all this craziness off the top of my head. I thought I'd seen something in the User CP once about unsubscribing, so I went looking! I personally like getting 20 emails from here a day, cause that's all I ever get! :rolleyes: )

And #2, I have emailed Dr. C at his own address before, and I recall he answered very quickly. Can you find the email you sent, copy it, and resend it? Give it a couple days, and if no reply... email the nurses email address, and tell them to check his damn email! If nothing else, you'll have to buckle down and call him !

Thanks Mandi, that info about e-mails will be useful for a lot of us. Here is my question. How do I post pictures that are not gigantuous? I once attached a photo on this site from windows, my pictures, and it was huge.

This reminds me of work, we get a new batch of student every year for their internship. They are young and grew up with computers all their lives. Whenever I have a computer question, I always nab of them first. Sometimes they can be pretty handy. It almost makes up for them being pains in the derrière.

haha, well... I haven't had computer experience ALL my life. I actually remember 'finding out' about the internet in highschool, and I was quickly hooked! Must be my addictive personality!

Do you have any kind of photo editing software on your computer? Usually the pictures you take right off your camera are reeeeally big, so you have to resize them.

Wheezy, I kinda have a answer...lol. I just remember that when I was going throw the step of posting my pics(the steps I took off this web site). One of the steps was picture size, like dimensions or what not, but it also says 'best for web'. I just clicked on that, and it worked!! Hope that kinda helps.

Thanks all for the unsubscribe thingy.

Also, Dr. Cobourn, my hero, e-mailed back last night. I LOVE HIM!!!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
