This is starting to scare me.

After my last blood test in November my doctor told me my blood sugar was high. I was in the mild low diabetes range, but said i have Type 2 Diabetes: Controlled.

But lately, I have had such a bad thirst that i can't stop drinking pop, water, iced tea..etc. I cannot quench my thirst and i am going to the bathroom non-stop.

Tomorrow, i go in for another blood test and i am scared to death of the results.

I really don't know what to do if this becomes uncontrolled. Am i going to have to take insulin shots for the rest of my life. (my cat is diabetic, so i know how to administer insulin shots) But now i am getting really depressed.

I have also been feeling really tired lately also. Please god tell me everything will be okay!!

I'm just typing this worried out of my mind.  If anybody has any advice, i would surely appreciate it.

Thank you,
Shawn :'( :'( :'(

I read about this a couple of weeks ago, hearing about a spy satellite that stopped working and is ready to come back to Earth.  At first, it seemed kind of scary, wondering where the satellite will land.

But tonight, i read some interesting info on CNN.com about what the US plans on doing to take care of it.

It seems like a page out of a sci-fi movie...hope all goes well. That sucker is filled with toxic fuel and that could cause harm wherever it decides to crash.

Most of you probably already know, but just wanted everyone to be aware.

Hope they catch this all on video.

Take care,
Domino

A thread devoted to your pet pictures... I will start with my 15 year old cat Fluffy.

Post a pic of your special animal in your life.

Poor fluffy is a diabetic and i give him 2 insulin shots every day.

edit: trying to get a better picture of my little buddy.

I found this page in my Games for Windows magazine. I believe this is an AGS game. I remember seeing this in Radiants sig.

congrats guys

I think i might be addicted to going online every single day of my life. Before the Internet, i use to get out and play sports or visit family and friends. But now, all i have to do is sit in front of my computer and type on this keyboard. I try to think back and imagine what life was like before the Internet evolved, but i can't because all i want to do is go online.

I read somewhere that people do get addicted to the Internet and now i think i am an Internet junkie...using it way too much. Even my doctor told me that i spend too much time in front of the computer, causing me to gain weight and lose all of my real life social skills.

Please help me, it's like a drug and i need a fix every hour or so.



If my Internet goes out I seriously go through withdrawal.

I sometimes wonder when CJ is going to get bored of working on AGS and then decide to not work on it anymore. How many years will he keep working on a program that is free and he works on it in his own time, not even making a dime. I guess we could still use older versions of AGS, but then i am guessing the forums will vanish. I am always thinking when he will say AGS is done, i'm sick of programming 24 hours a day and then tell us all to have a good night and then disappear. Will this happen?? Maybe CJ wants to do more in his life than program AGS and upgrade for us.

This is intended to be a fun thread, but also what if?? It will happen someday. He could also sell the rights to a new owner. But i fear that day.

i'm getting a little verklempt, so talk amongst yourselves..

I was thinking about this driving home from work today. What celebrity would you like to spend a whole day with.  I mean just hang out and do friend things, no sex involved.

I was having a hard time thinking of that person, but then i realized i would hang with Leonardo DiCaprio. He would make be better looking and i think we would have fun, plus i would like to talk to him about the making of Titanic.

Let's say you won a contest to hang out with a celeb of your choice..who would it be?

I don't know how many people will really care about this. But it seems very odd that after her son dies mysteriously, she suddenly dies in a south Florida motel room. I don't have much of an opinion of her, but i thought she was hot. Rest in peace Anna.

I just purchased my first Digital Camera ever and waiting for it to arrive. I wanted to buy one for the longest time, but never got around to it.

It is a Sony camera and only cost 170 US dollars. Does anybody here own this camera? and also what kind of Digital Camera do you use.

I am looking forward to taking alot of pics when i get it in a couple of days.

I wish i had it right now to take pics of the major storm around here where every tree pretty much broke into a million pieces.

Tell me about features of your camera, and let me know if the camera i bought is a piece of crap. I know you get what you pay for, but i'm gonna have some fun with it.

Cheers,
Shawn

I just wanted to know how many people liked this movie? For me, i find it quite disturbing and always makes me feel weird when i see it. It's not a bad movie, but feels like i'm on some drug induced state. Quite frankly, creeps me out. I cannot describe how i feel after watching it. Does anybody else feel the same way after watching it. Is it meant to be so surreal? The whole thing just freaks me out. Am I alone in this?

I just happened to stumble upon this cool site tonight. It is called Draw a house.com. It lets you draw a house and also create a street to put it on. It has a built in drawing program to build your house and then let other people you know move onto your street. I was messing around a little bit, but never made a house. Well, i started too, and stopped.

I was hoping that we could get an AGS street on the site, and then have members add houses to our street.  I was reading the site, but still not sure how adding houses to the street would work. It looks pretty cool.

http://www.drawahouse.com/

sorry for my sloppy grammar, it is getting late. But let's get this AGS street started. 

A couple of months ago i was messing around with my computer. I tried plugging the monitor back into the computer, but i couldn't see what i was doing because of the lack of light.

I bent the crap out of the pins, but was able to get them straight again with a pair of tweezers.  Everything was working great again.

Then my problem of moving. After i moved, i tried plugging my monitor into my computer, but forced the cable into the computer.  After this, i had bent more pins, and many fell out, rendering the monitor useless.

I went out and bought a new monitor, but want to somehow salvage my old monitor. Is it possible to replace the cable on newer monitors (CRT). I don't want to throw my old CRT out because it still works, but i don't know what to do with it.  Can you cut the cable and splice it with a new cable? I don't know what to do.

I like this new monitor, but would like to be able to have my old one for backup.

Any help would be appreciated.

Tim was on G4 the other day and i thought some people might be interested in seeing his interview.

It's not very long, but somewhat interesting.

video can be seen on the left hand side, just scroll down a bit.

After using Firefox now for many months, i upgraded to version 1.0.3 the other day.

But tonight i was browsing as usual and wanted to close out of Firefox by closing it using the X in the top right hand of the screen.

Well, when i did this my computer shut off!! When it restarted and i reopened Firefox, all my Bookmarks were gone!!  I have never had this problem before and i'm wondering if it's the latest update to Firefox that is causing this.

It sucks, because i had a lot of bookmarks that i have to get back.

Has this happened to any other Firefox users that are using version 1.0.3?

Here is a program for anybody who loves DOOM, the ability to create their own maps (levels) from scratch.  I started using this program a couple of weeks ago and i have made some really awesome levels.  The program is called DOOM Builder.  It is simple to use (read the manual) and in no time you will be creating DOOM levels like a pro.

I play deathmatch with a guy from work over our work network, so i only build deathmatch levels.


Just look for DOOM builder on this site, download, and enjoy.

p.s. you must have doom installed on your computer to use this, since it looks for the DOOM.wad file for graphics and such.

Has anybody here wondered what they would do if they were told that you have one more day of life to live?

Would you go out with a bang? or would you go peacefully?

I'm not even sure what i would do.

I was browsing my local video game store in the PC section looking for a decent adventure game, when i came upon a game called Wanted: A Wild Western Adventure by the Adventure Company.

This game is really awesome and looks really good.Ã,  It's pretty much a point and click adventure game but set in a wild west 3D world.Ã,  I feel so at home playing this game because you do have a normal inventory and are solving puzzles to move further into the game.Ã,  I have to admit i never heard of this game and am completely shocked at how good it is.Ã,  I think the one thing that sold me was the box said "Monkey Island in the Old West"





I think this is something any old school adventure game player should check out, and especially if you are a fan of the old west.

Just wanted to let my fellow AGSer's know about this in case they never knew about this game like me.

edit: I also bought the new Leisure Suit Larry game for the Xbox.Ã,  I would not call this an adventure game.Ã,  It's just PORN!!Ã, 

Hello everyone,

Well last night i thought i was doing the right thing by downloading service pack 2 for Windows XP, but today upon starting up my computer and when entering windows everything was running very, very slow.Ã,  Everything that usually boots up during startup took forever and my hard drive was just running and running.

On top of that, when going into control panel, it probably took about 30 seconds to find all of the icons in the folder.Ã,  This was never a problem until last night, and i know it wasn't my computer because i bought this thing brand new about a month ago.Ã,  So i am assuming there might be some issues with the new service pack.Ã,  But thank goodness, i was able to uninstall it and return my computer back to normal.

I'm just wondering if anybody else running XP has had the same problem after downloading it.

Maybe Microsoft needed to do more fine tuning on this before releasing if for download. I don't know, but glad everything worked out in the end.

I went out today to a local video game store (Game Crazy) and purchased RPG Maker 2 for the Playstation 2.Ã,  So i go home and test it out, and it seems pretty cool, but i almost broke my controller in frustration because to me it seems impossible to do anything.Ã,  I had to read the manual over and over again just to create a tiny, crappy room.

But while using the program, i realized how much more fun i would of had just using AGS.Ã,  Has anybody here bought or used RPG Maker 2?Ã,  I have RPG Maker for the Playstation 1 and found it much easier to use.Ã,  But again, maybe i shouldn't have wasted my money when i could just do a game with AGS.

After using this program, i realize how superior AGS is to any stupid commercial make your own game software out there.

Maybe i can return it and say the disk was defective. (i got it used)
