How I learned: I went to a section of the pool where my head was above the water with toes on the floor. I held the edge of the pool and went underwater to practice holding my breath. After a while I raised my legs up and practiced kicking while holding the edge, with face underwater. Did this until I could kick for at least a minute with legs straight. After that I did the same thing but away from the wall with nothing to grab.
When I was confident with that, it was easy to learn front crawl.

I got tossed in the middle of a lake when I was about quite young.
I think this explains a bit.

OnT: Shipping delays.

That works pretty well but unfortunately only when you're like 10 or below.

True. When a kid drowns it's a tragic accident. When an adult drowns the police start asking questions.

That is why I don't keep anything important on the "system" drive, also invest into antivirus software, there are free ones and are quite good.

I also made a habit of storing my bookmarks on my dropbox, I pretty much store everything of importance that's on "system" drive safely away on my dropbox.

I have more, I invited a lot of people and done a lot od stuff to gain more space, and it's still a lot for me, currently in use is less than 5%

I don't store large files there mind you, only the stuff that really important that goes on the "system" drive that could be hard to recover.

Saved games and documents. Largest file atm is FFT iso cuz I am going to download it on my phone and play the game on it

The last 3 anti virus softwares I tried (norton was one and the other 2 were highly respected/recommended) Only gave me problems. The last one for instance ate so many cpu cycles I could hardly move the mouse without cursor lag. It literally took 5 seconds to move the mouse from one side of the screen to the other, and it also used so much cache that taskmanager couldn't even load. It took 5 whole minutes to tell me this also.

However, the moment I uninstalled them (I tried one at a time, I'm not stupid) my computer went right back to full efficiency.

I have always hated Antivirus and believe in other security methods. So far so good, not a single virus in 15 years, none that any software detects anyway, and none that I can see draining system resources.

I'm using Avira Free Antivirus for years, had not a single infection since I started using this, very good program, doesn't eat up much resources.

I went to bed at 2AM last night.
I got a call from my mother this morning at 6AM saying I needed to be awake to answer the door because their appliances were supposed to be showing up between 6-7.

It's nearly 8.

Just sayin', norton is like the king of bloat. I would never recommend norton, ever.
If antivirus is done right, you won't even notice it's there. I'm currently using Avast, and I've had no issues with it.

I throw an AV program my computers just in case. Generally if you're careful you won't need it.. but it's a precautionary measure.

And metro, i hate it when things like that happen. getting up early sucks.

Especially when it's for no reason because the delivery people suck. >.>

metro. · « **Reply #5434 on:** July 16, 2012, 04:53:51 PM »

Ugh, they showed up at 9. I could have had three extra hours of sleep! Ugh.

And AV is generally pretty useless, unless you're retarded.

If the delivery was from a retail store, they could have had a stop or two before you on their delivery route, and ran into a problem with an installation. Although truthfully I've never heard of an appliance store quoting a delivery window of 6am to 7am before. It's more common to be quoted a 2 hour window -- for instance, 8am to 10am, 10am to 12pm, etc is a lot more typical. Maybe your mom just told you 6am to 7am to make sure you were awake in time for the actual delivery window of 8am to 10am.

Ixarku, despite my many failings, getting up late is not a common habit of mine, regardless of my lack of sleep.
It was from the factory store, if that matters.

Regardless, Vevo.

Then the delivery driver(s) probably just had one or more stops before you that had problems beyond the norm. It's annoying for sure, but a fairly common occurrence.

people who talk to you regarding something tentative but they seem to assume that it was agreed upon when you never gave a yes or no answer, then they proceed to get angry at you about it.
