My parents found out that I hadn't went to bed last night, probably because I was acting sluggishly more sluggishly than usual, and because I was falling asleep all the time.

I'm finding it hard to break past the 235lb barrier! 250lb to 235lb was easy as I just ate less calories. Tried half an hour of exercise bike yesterday and it seems to have broken through to nearly 230lb so I'm going to exercise half an hour every morning until I hit my target of 180lb. Plus I feel more energetic during the day and my legs feel very strong. Heck I'm starting to see 200lb on the edge of my scale's display, which I'm very excited about. 20lbs gone, 50lb to go!

Life is so complicated...
So, I may have a chance to move out of state. This I find out, right after me and my ex girlfriend make amends. It just doesn't feel right, after she and I (but her especially) fought so hard to keep seeing each other.
To compound that, my ex ex girlfriend, who moved away so we couldn't continue seeing each other and who is still very much in love with me, was talking to me the other day when I mentioned that I might not want to leave this other girl. She tried to sound supportive but I could tell she was pretty hurt that I cared so much about another girl. Then she wryly suggested that I should move, and I'd be ok. So I supposed she's getting jealous...
If I leave I break one girl's heart, if I stay another. Crappiest thing in the world that my only path out is soooo far away from here that it ruins all my previous relationships.

I've been having a lot of monitor problems lately. This all goes back (I think) to the time three or four years ago when lightning struck our house. I was at work at the time, but my computer had been on due to my sister wanting to play a game on it (this comp was a pretty decent gaming rig back then). Of course, the monitor seemed fine, unlike two others we had on at the same time. Plus we lost all our TVs and our heating/cooling system was partially fried as well.
But as I said, my computer and monitor seemed to be just fine (in fact, the comp itself is still very reliable, as well as the others), so I didn't opt to replace the monitor when it came time to make insurance claims. Fast forward three or four years to two days ago. I come home from work, and my wife informs me that there's "something wrong" with the screen. My sister and her boyfriend thought it was something wrong with the video drivers, or a virus, or something; my wife wasn't sure what to think, but knew it was unusable in its current state. I took one look at the screen and knew the monitor had gone. I updated the drivers and ran a virus-check anyways just to satisfy everybody's curiosity, but I knew better.
Now, as it turns out, we had still hung onto the old monitors due to a lack of a good nearby hazardous-waste recycling center. One of them hadn't been hit so bad; there was some discoloration on the screen, but it was still functional. Of course, it had been sitting out in the garage for all those years and I didn't think it would work anyways, but I tried hooking it up. Lo and behold, everything worked and looked more or less as it should. I thought that would be the end of it until I could find a permanent replacement. I don't have the money right now to go out and buy a new 19" monitor.
Of course, it was too good to last. I came home from work today, fired up the computer, turned on the monitor, and the indicator light was flashing yellow. Windows finished booting, it still flashed. Another bad monitor. This time I think the cable running to the video card went bad or something; I couldn't get the thing to work no matter how I jiggled, wiggled, and adjusted it. so now I have two defunct (and heavy) monitors sitting on the floor in my den; in the meantime I borrowed a monitor from one of my parents' computers downstairs. I suppose they'll want it back sometime soon, but as I have the only internet-capable computer in the house at the moment, hopefully they'll be understanding about it. Besides, the one I took the monitor from only gets used to play hearts and spider solitaire anyhow.
I suppose I should also rant that I'm almost 28, married and still living with my parents, but it does have its advantages at times.

The fact they don't turn up?
The fact they charge a fortune?
Or "other" ?

I don't have any broadband. It's almost impossible to download anything above 35MB.

This post is almost completely incoherent.
At the very least, rave in the RAVE thread. Rants are NEGATIVE, and by your edit that clearly wasn't how you felt about the situation.
Other than spam, declaring obscene things to the public, and general foolishness, this latest Calc test is infuriating. I understand this chapter very well (for once), and all the test questions are completely foreign to me. Test us on what we've learned, for once!
