Steven, did the guys from the Incredible forum make you jaded and we are helping to break down your walls? ;)

heh.. Truthfully, the walls are in your mind. I don't have any. I don't see myself as anything. I just have responsibility, which is a double edged sword. I move or merge or warn rudeness and people get mad for it. Otherwise, it's lil old me. At 52 being a guide or whatnot is not a power trip. Life breaks you down too much!

I love the idea of this! No mods to come in a slap us on the wrists for being Off Topic in here! I'm prone to being off topic anyway...

(Steven slaps jreed's wrists just because he can!) :p :D

You wanna know the truth? In the orginal (internet famous) incredible thread, I was the most off-topic person!! And they made ME a guide! HA! I guess they made me guide to get me on-topic! I love off-topic in the right places! :) :)
 
Elbow, elbow, wrist wrist...wipe a tear and blow a kiss

Sorry, working on my beauty pageant wave :p
 
i like that i can actually return apps within 24 hrs (not only for the x).

for the ipod touch, i mistakenly bought something and said "oh f***"
 
hi all! I am so excited to have my droid x. I am super frugal so I resisted the way of the smartphone for a while, and just took the plunge. I feel like I am back in college a decade ago with my first direct lan connection and figuring out all the fun stuff I could do with a computer. Sadly this phone probably would kick that computer's ass in speed.

My husband thinks I have lost it as I am spending a good chunk of time reading about it, getting my screens to look "just" right, understanding the ins and outs of the OS etc.

Glad to be here - been doing a lot of reading thus far, but finally getting comfortable enough to participate more.
 
Well, guys and gals, I hate to be the one to bring reality to this forum but I need to vent and Steven said OT was ok. My gf and I of one year just broke up. She claims she needs time to focus on herself and figure things out. We've had our ups and downs but always worked past it. She wants to remain friends but I'm not sure what I should do. All of my friends say I can't allow her to have her cake and eat it too...and that I should definitely say no to make her choose and realize what she's losing......but it's so hard to imagine her not being in my life. She says she doesn't want a relationship in the slightest now and needs at least a year to get her life in order. Do I take the chance of losing her forever and let it go, hoping she will return? Or do I stay friends with her and hope that things work out, at least being happy she is still a part of my ilfe? We broke up for 6 weeks and she came back to me afterwards when I held strong on not being friends, as I wanted a relationship.

I'm confused and I'm sorry to vent here. I know this isn't a relationship forum....but we are texting on my Droid X so it kinda ties in??

Love ya guys :p

In my vast experience when they say they "don't want a relationship right now", they usually mean they don't want one ever at least not with you. I don't mean to sound harsh, but this coming after a year of being together tells me she realized it's not what she wants. The old "it's not you, it's me" routine means, she is trying to bow out gracefully.

I'd move on or at least back away and wait and see what happens.

Remember, you asked :)
 
That I did, Sir. And I'm not so sure I disagree with you. It's just hard when literally all of our friends and family thought we were going to get married...which freaked her out. Time to find something better, I suppose. Oh, hey....I found my Droid X!!! :)

Love you too! :)

I can't say, "if I were you". But what I can say is now that I'm 52, I have a lot of experience that a young person may not have. Whereas I agree with my man Musky, I don't think I could go so far to assume what you gf's motives are. People are complex and our issues can run deep. Women have instincts. That I do know. They sense things more than we do, sometimes. She may be sensing issues going forward because of chemistry, behavioral or otherwise.

Going forward, things get far more complicated after marriage, especially when you add more little lives into the mix. If you're having difficulties now, you can be sure you will have them later. Badly. You maybe being spared of something awful in your future. I would suggest a cooling down period. Let her go. Keep it cordial, not hateful.

It's likely that you'll find someone else and end up wondering why you held a torch for her so long. I've seen it over and over and over again. I don't mean to tell you what you're going through and what your future will be, so please forgive me for being so direct and assuming so much. Every situation is different. I just wanted to give you some perspective from the years I've lived.

Good luck to you.

Steven
 
agreed with all responses above... now as for the X i believe there is an app that may be a temp fix for ya check out AndWobble (theme) it is free to use their one picture use,

like .99 (i think) to use any picture you want... i just made someone into my office into a bobble head LMAO, but i won't show the picture i actually use it for.

Steven would really have to step in there...

One last final note... Beatles, Let it Be
 
For the fun of it....I made some fan-art (if you want to even call it that) for the Droid X. Did it in Illustrator while I had nothing to do at work.

The only app I bought so far was Logmein at $29.95
Now that is a little overboard on the pricing! But I wanted it so I had to buy it!
How is the RDP app?

Nice, but I haven't had to use it much so far - which is a good thing, that means after-hours work for me if I do. One thing I have not checked yet is how it works from my house, which has a weaker signal than here in town. Would probably have to switch to wifi and pick up my router to keep the channel up. Need to test that before I have to use it!

Have I mentioned that I love my phone? Her name is Lucille.
