I'm sure Sanders is on his way if not yet done so... wut wut.
But, how many of y'all have helped change someone's day (or life) for the better? Whether it be a stranger or a sibling?
Be it with tech, their career, helping a fellow bro overcome his fear of women, inspiring peeps to lose weight, bringing the awesome, or just smiling to brighten someone's day even if they are poopy, whatever the case... who's the secret guardian angels up in here?
Or what about regrets where you had those moments you really wished you helped someone out but lacked the courage to? Those can be life changing too. Lord knows I have a few of those moments.

Every weekend, just about, I visit my mom and sis to help them with household chores. My mom is 95 and my sister has health problems, so it gives me a lift to be able to brighten their day.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I knew I liked you for a reason. Sorry to hear about your sister's health problems, man. But totally awesome that your mom is still kicking and you help them out.

The reason far right scumbags stalked and threatened to kill my kids was all the time I spent helping refugees. Supported ones in our offshore prisons directly, met them locally, helped them move, taught them to drive, ran a support dinner.
I've also taken a few people into my house. One was a homeless man who became a good friend until he was a sex creep. A woman fleeing DV, my son's GF's mother.
I live in a support house to support foster kids
But the person who stays with me was a brief encounter. I was on my way to an event and I saw an old woman struggling with shopping bags. I went up and offered to help. I grabbed one bag and she struggled to grab hers so I took them both. She looked at me and said I've done nothing wrong. I said no, you have done nothing wrong and she started crying. I stood holding her in the shopping mall. Then I walked her to her bus. On the way she told me meth is the only way she copes with life. It was a pretty intense encounter.
Another time I was walking in the mall and this dude was verbally abusing his girlfriend. I stopped and loitered, determined to intervene if he touched her but not sure what to do. Another dude walked up and sat next to her and asked her how she was feeling. When the boyfriend tried to intervene he said with force, I'm not talking to you mate. He really supported her and defused the situation and I never forgot wishing I had done that.

So my marriage of 30 years ended with my ex demanding an open marriage, cheating on me, and generally treating me like garbage. I dipped my toes in the dating waters and met lots of nice people and quite quickly, my new partner. We've lived together six months now
We are in Melbourne but I moved back from Tasmania. We've had a Hobart trip and on the weekend went to Cradle Mountain. I bought a romance package that included a dinner, breakfasts and a spa treatment that was an hour massage and 90 in in a room with a sauna and a spa bath that was exposed on the corner and open into the forest. It was amazing. My day to day life with this woman is incredible and the odd weekend like this just feels like heaven. She often says she doesn't understand how any woman left me, but we are glad she did

If you agreed to the open marriage part, how did she cheat? If you didn't then she definitely did.
But overall, I am happy that you have found someone who makes you feel happy and whole.
Just call me Captain Pedantic.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

She saw I was getting close to the woman I was dating and remembered I am monogamous and would probably just go with her. So she closed the marriage but insisted she had a free pass to have sex with one man once. Then she had sex three times.

You do realize your story doesn't make sense right? If you're married and dating a different girl getting close... you're not monogamous. Also, if you didn't nail this chick then it's not an eye for an eye for your wife to nail some dude. It's clear none of this was a mutual choice.
I'm not dissing nail two chicks btw, not at all. But when something doesn't add up... something doesn't add up.

Yeah so my ex always told me all women would hate me. I put myself out there to go along and expected nothing. I met someone and we had kind of a one night stand (I couldn't go through with it) and then became friends. Context made it dating but we never kissed even, we just talked a lot and I looked for a friend when my heart was breaking. But things started to shift and she noticed that. It was all very complicated and yes, none of it was my choice.
I was never nailing two chicks LOL.

|

|

I've also been in a relationship that was that dysfunctional Christian... where I couldn't go through with nailing the other chick. We were both too immature despite our age.
But, you cheated way before intercourse came up, man. And you don't see me talking about how I'm "monogamous" online from a relationship I was a d**k in. That was a messed up relationship I should've ended way before it got to that point, but I'm under no illusions about my role in screwing things up. Something to think about.

Oh I should have just left, I just lacked the self confidence. No question about that. I also started drinking 20 drinks a day in that time, I was an absolute mess and trying to keep my head above water. I barely drink nowadays. I used up all my drink cards, my kidneys are f***ed

I mean that's cool and all Christian, and I'm happy for you. Seriously. But so far I've seen two modes: complaining and bragging. You made a post about your lady about you, not about her. You can take this info and just think I'm an a**, and I'm sure you'll find some peeps on CP to agree with you. Doesn't mean I'm wrong though.
And hey I get it, I complain on here too... a lot. A lot, a lot. So, I'm a total hypocrite. But, I'm a hypocrite that's been around the block, man. And, I'm also a hypocrite that knows what it's like to be treated like an object by a chick and vice versa (back in my dumber days). The only thing this post is missing is bikini shots on a yacht.
And for peeps that think I'm saying this from a place of jealousy, Christian knows me well enough to know it's not.

LOL. We are two middle aged people. I was just saying that I had a nice weekend. I'm sorry if you don't have weekends like that.

I expected more of you than this. This little high horse you got is sad. What's tomorrow? Gonna brag about a new PC? We are middle aged, which means we should know better.
And, you don't want to compare weekends man... you will not make me stoop to your level. But, I invite to think long and hard about our conversations over the decades... you should know better.
And yes, I'm holding you to a higher standard because we're supposed to be more mature than this now man.
Either way, glad you're happier. I'll shut up now.

TBH I was thinking I had a good weekend and thought it a nice way to end telling the story of my marriage failing. I feel bad for you
|
|
|
|
|
TBH you're wrong. I feel bad for you. 
I bet my computers cost more than yours... I'm gonna talk abut that now and feel bad for you if you don't have expensive computers. And yes, I'm using PCs as an example in hopes you see it, but I have my doubts.

I am sorry you feel bad that I am in love. That was not my intention. And probably, my main PC now is a Mac Book Air I bought to complete an iOS project. My other computer cost $5k about five years ago and is falling apart. I only keep it because getting my Android phone to talk to my Mac is a bitch.

There's nothing else I can say man. It would seem, I'm just gonna appear to be a douche in this thread. Glad you had a great weekend.

It was nice to catch up after all these years. Nothing I said was meant to inflate me, or attack anyone else.

VICTORY!
I found two bugs in my graphics library having to do with propagation of alpha channels when doing pixel format conversions. Fixed.
I found the problem with my colors not getting rendered correctly. Had to do with confusing byte order issues, between my library (big endian pixels), and what's left of plutovg after my integration (little endian pixels) and then again when I'm rendering it to png to test. Finally, I was occasionally forgetting to update my color macros when I changed channel orders to compensate for little vs big endian. ARGH. I finally sorted it all out. It took me 3 days of banging on it. Good news is I eliminated all the byte swapping.
Now my stuff renders great, at least for one SVG document. The others aren't rendering at all but I've got a good foundation, and a reference implementation that's known good to check it against.

Thanks to all of you who responded to my original post.
I feel slightly more informed to ask a better question.
My domain name is pjksolutions.com
Jeremy Falcon informs me my domain is registered with Tucows
My email is hosted by webhosting.uk.com
I want rid of webhosting.uk.com
So my new question is:
How can I keep my domain email addresses e.g. pete@pjksolutions.com etc.. I have 6
but have them hosted by someone else
I also want the data from all accounts migrated - it's IMAP
Hope this is clearer
thanks
Pete Kane
