Post Reply New Topic

Hi, Do any computer savvy types out there know why its so slow to bring up stuff on eBay? and maybe anyway that I can speed it up? I have that DSL service where the guy washes the dishes really fast on the computer on the TV commercial, but it still takes a really long time to look at stuff, and this is not good since I am an eBay addict. It is taking up too much of my time and I need it to be much quicker so I can see all the myriad of stuff I want to see. Is there anything I can get to put on my computer to make it faster. Please help, my ass is getting flat from sitting so long and I refuse to buy a Fredericks of Hollywood pair of fake foam ass pantyhose. HELP!! !! PLEASE< HELP!! !! !

What ISP are you on?
Are you running a wireless router? If so, how far are you from it?

This has what to do with the subject of love and dating?

Ok this is a problem..... i hear you..... most likely you need more ram in your computer.......... or take the original discs and completely reinstall a fresh copy of windows since it could be a virus or spyware...... or buy a new computer....
i am on ebay all day and believe me i know its slower than most sites but with a clean copy of windows and at least1 gig of ram youll be fine.....
so do i win a date or something?

Did you download free screensavers or cursors? They slow down computers because they take so much space. If you have them, you could uninstall, it should go faster.

Do you have Norton or a cleanup program?

Hi, I'm the Aspie girl w/ eBay problems. Just "won" a cool, but very expensive set of Tarot cards (Morgan's tarot) out of print and from the 60s though; so I'm stoked. Thanks to everyone who wrote. I will try to check out the situation and fix it.
I guess eBay has nothing to do w/ relationships, this is the first (now second) time I've been on this site and there is too much "stuff" all over the page and I guess I'm not navigating the site well. Other than buying crap on eBay and reading my emails, I am not so good at computers. probably cause I hate reading instruction books and I haven't had anyone to show me. I know its probably not that hard, but I hate having to deal w/ paper (receipts, lined classroom paper w/ notes, paper handouts for classes, tax forms etc) Its not that they're so hard, they're just so damn boring. Its like yadda yadda yadda, who gives a f**K? Can't I just live my life w/o boring details? Lets not prepare for the race, lets just f**kin' race!! !! Don't know if I can cuss on this site, but just to be sure, whatever, ya know the word f**K is just an old English, emotively neutral verb to succinctly describe the act of coitus/intercourse. Its just people's discomfort w/ all things sexual thanks to various/ pretty much all organized religions, and I don't subscribe to any (I just luv Sam Harris) so why should I get offended by something when the offense to the item itself lies within the confines of a doctrine of thinking which I find to be quite bogus and controlling?
In addition, I hate the words "freaking" and "frigging" to substitute for the word "f**king". Words like "f**king" and "sh*T" and "G*dd**n"(yet another religious inspired cussword) (really only "Sh*t" holds its own as a true cussword since it is by its very nature and smell and composition offensive w/o having to be disavowed by any said church) even monkeys will literally "cuss" by throwing it at whomever or whatever displeases them. Anyway, back to:Words like "f**king" and "sh*T" and "G*dd**n" are known as intensives, and to use words like Goshdarn and Freaking and Frigging, you are basically making an intense word non-intense and a non-intense intensive, just doesn't make sense, and is self cancelling, and is a waste of time and purely illogical, sort of like sleeveless sweaters. A sweater is for cold weather, and sleeveless garments are for warm weather. Pick a F**kin' lane!! ! Cold or warm; What will it be??! !! Who the hell wears sleeveless sweaters? why do they sell them? They don't make them for men, just women, which just goes to show that many women will act in highly irrational ways for the sake of fashion. don't get me wrong, I am into fashion, especially if it will get you laid by some hot guy, but I just cant hang w/ sleeveless sweaters. There oughta be a law against them, on the grounds of irreprehensible and criminal negligence in lack of logic. Anyway frigging and freaking and sleeveless sweaters have gotta go.

As far as relationships, yes, I am into dating, so swing me a line. (from the person in ct., I am in SF, but I totally love Martha's Vineyard and try to get there as much as possible. I'm bummed that I just missed the lantern festival in Oak Bluffs/maybe next year) (by the way CT person, you probably already know that CT is statistically the state w/ the highest avg. IQ at 111 / Mississippi is the lowest, at, I believe 80, .

I'm tall/ thin (size 2-5). long brown hair and blue eyes. Large eyes, med siz nose, med size mouth, high cheekbones/ all my teeth (cept for my 4 wisdom teeth) and they are straight too! Tell me about yourself, what's your likes/dislikes, what's your sign, etc. Oh yeah, if you couldn't tell, I'm politically liberal, and that is important to me because it is basic life philosophy. I do have some good words for Dubya though. He is probably very good in bed, because dumb hillbillies usually are....
That is not to say that other types of people are not, its just that some people spent ALLLL their time at the sexual ability shack when thuh good lord wuz a handin out the brayans. everybody's gotta have somethin' right?? And we all know how much of nothin else that man has.
He's sorta useless in the way that Darren (husband of Samantha on Bewitched) was annoying and useless. Ya gotta figure there's something he's gotta be good for.

You READ that wall of text?

If you can't be down w/ tangents, dude, you are no Aspie or ADHDer, you NT/normie poseur!! !!
Tangents, if not specifically identified w/ Aspie are specifically part of ADHD hyperactive behavior.
If you can't stand the heat, get outta the kitchen NT

Dunc's rule. Thread closed.

Theres this ebay program that gets the item you want before its too late. Forgot what its called though sorry.

dude, gimme a break, your "friggin'" screen name is almost as long as my "Wall of Text". what do you have to say for yourself????? It is my personal belief that people w/ overly long monikers right out of Middle Earth have no business capping on anyone.

heh

Your name is "Calandale, Lord of Iltrode" is it not??? (If not then drop the rest of your esteemed "title") I believe that is 22 letters to my 10 letters, which would be 8 except there is someone else here with the name queenbee. Oh how I enjoy these little petty Mensa loser type fights. Isn't there something better we both could be doing with our time??? or maybe your viagra hasn't arrived in the mail yet.....
