Beth,
Before I take my leave of this forum as it has become a joke people telling
people the wrong fix just to mess them up more. Not on this thread, I'm
sorry I lost my temper. My husband died that day and I was just on here
trying to forget about it. I meant simply to help Jirka and not give up an
address that was entrusted to me years ago. A few colleges and myself have
written a program that you and the rest of the forum may find useful.
Assuming it is ran before they delete the Office suite it will give them the
OEM's cd key. It called Belarc. You can google it and download a lite
version for free. Perhaps, since I am leaving and focusing on teaching, you
and Tony and Millie and Mary Sauer could pass this on to anyone. Remember it
has to be ran before they delete office or any other registered program, and
it can be run in Safe Mode. I'm sorry for my behaviour this last week. It's
difficult to stand there and watch your husband of 26 years convulse 5-6
times a minute for 4 days until a Doctor finally decides that he's brain
dead. (something any layman could have said on day one) and that you can
finally sign the DNR papers. And then to stand helplessly by while they pull
all the tubes and you watch your soulmate of over 2 decades take his final
rasping breath. 49 years old is too young by any measure. I know this is no
excuse for the way I acted and the things I had no right to say to you...I
just hope that you can understand I wasn't mad at you, but at the world...and
therefore I think I should take my leave of this forum before I hurt someone
as obviously nice as yourself. You didn't scream back at me or anything as a
matter of fact you complemented me on my previous answers. That shows great
character, I'm sorry mine was not up to standard at the time, I hope you will
all understand, and that you personally will find it in that great heart of
yours to forgive me. Perhaps I'll return in a year or so when my personal
life is not such a mess that I say things without thinking. I apoligize to
the forum, well everyone except the comedians who shouldn't be here to begin
with...and I quote, not anyone on this list it was a publisher issue. "boy
you're dumb dud (yes I spelled it correctly) just go to google and ask, man,
you must be braindead or something" the man just asked why his computer froze
after inserting clipart. He had just updated to 2003 and hadn't done the
"organize your clipart" phase of it.), but especially Beth, I personally
apoligize to you, I always tell my students that your personal life ends at
the door. But this one's a tough one and keeps sneaking in my windows, when
I least expect it. I don't blame you for not forgiving me...i just wanted
you to know that I ask your forgiveness, though my husband dying is not an
excuse for bad behaviour and insults to you or anyone personally. I will
miss most of you. Not the comedians of course but all of you who have put
your time and soul into helping everyone you can. Remember Beth and the rest
of you Belarc will help you solve alot of problems, because, trust me once
people know you're part of a forum to help people they'll expect you to make
housecalls and solve their problems. It's a must have program if you have to
uninstall anything. Or, the good Lord save us from this, you have to fdisk
and reformat. Again Beth, I'm sorry, and for the good of the forum itself I
am removing myself until I feel like I can speak again without biting a good
person's head off.
I also apoligize to the community itself. I've made some great friends here
and if any of you need me to walk you thru belarc the first time or just want
to yell at me for being an idiot, unfeeling jerk write me at
[email protected] With that I bid you all adieu, and be careful what you to
someone you love when you walk out the door, because you never know when they
might be called to their reward. At least our last words to each other were
I love you, I love you, too. Just like everyday, oh there I go again
dragging you into my personal life, just please forgive me and try to
understand that hateful person, the other day was not myself, not myself at
all. Especially to you Beth, I'm sure if I were to stay we would have become
good friends.
Thank you for your time, all of you,
I hope each and every one of you can find it in your heart to forgive my
unthinkable behaviour. It's really not who I am at all.
Farewell until I'm in a better frame of mind,
I'll miss you all.
