Just wondering how I become an IMPORTANT part of his life again.
You know,before his friends and his truck and the dirt on his boots!
I want him to notice me again and want me so bad he can’t stand it.
We are currently separated because I told him to leave because he
was being mentally and verbally and emotionally abusive and ignored me constantly and everything and everyone was more important than me and the children and now he has filed for divorce and I have 20 days to respond.I do not want a divorce!I
want the man I fell in love with back!He doesn’t really want the divorce either(I can tell) but he is still trying to manipulate and control me into doing what HE wants the way HE wants it and to H*** with my wants and needs and I just will not do that anymore.
So…how do I make myself more desirable to him in other ways because I’m not bending to his will anymore.He has a daughter that he treats more like his wife than me(she is 22 and it has not even been confirmed that she is really his).in the aspect that he is with her more and tells her everything and they go out to eat when he takes me for a stinkin hotdog…enough is enough!Any advice will be appreciated……I want him to look at me and think
"I really don’t want to lose this woman/I love her/She is the Mother of my child and I can’t live without her so I am willing to change to hold onto my family".I know this is unreasonable to ask
but I have dreams I guess.
I have a slimline PS2 (model SCPH-70011), and a copy of Swap Magic 3.8 Coder. My system will run anything just fine, except the Coder DVD disc. If I try to run that, it just boots to the browser screen (where you access memory cards and such from). The disc icon shows up in the browser, but if I pick it, the screen just fades out and then back to the browser. Occasionally it’ll make it to the PS2 logo screen (the one that makes the "Bwoop!" noise and displays the logo in white text), but after that, it always goes back to the browser. Is Swap Magic somehow incompatible with this PS2 version? Is my Coder DVD likely damaged? What’s up with this? The CD one works fine, just not the DVD, and I have tried it with another Coder DVD (though it was in bad condition).

I’m wondering how to make my ski lessons even better for the customers at our resort. I currently am making the best tips out of anyone in our ski school, so I think I’m doing something right. What sort of things do you think make up a great lesson? Important qualities in an instructor? My typical hour and a half beginner lesson is as follows, would you change anything?
1) Start out by teaching them how to move with their skis on on a flat, going over to our magic carpet (conveyor belt) teaching area
2) Once there, teach how to remove skis and get a feeling for the boots, explain/show good, safe skiing form. Then move on to how to make a wedge
3) After they can all do it correctly with skis off, try it again with skis on, still in place on a flat
4) Take the conveyor up to the top of the small learning area (about 40 ft, small incline) and show them again proper form and have them go one by one, making a few complete stops as they go down saying directions to correct anything wrong
5) Next I transition into wedge turns, explaining and exampling how to do it properly, still stressing proper form and safety
6) I continue giving one on one pointers to students and helping them progress at their own level while still maintaining a group atmosphere
7) For the students that have mastered that, I move on to parallel skiing when not turning, then pushing one ski out to make the turn, explaining how to make bigger S turns, completing the turn, etc.
At this point if they can ski in control, we go over to the bunny hill and I explain how to get on and off a chairlift, then we go down the hill working on turns, still stopping as a group a few times as we go down the hill, emphasizing skiing in control and being aware of others.
9) For those that have mastered skiing parallel when not turning I explain & show them how to get parallel skis, getting on their edges and better form.
I rarely have students fall in my lessons and keep it positive, anything you would recommend?
i’m also careful not to throw too much info at them at once, so each run down the hill I only give them one, maaaybe two things to concentrate on to make it easier to pick up
thanks kirkill
our hill charges for a group lesson for an hour and a half and for a private, one hour lesson
i make /hr and do not get paid for being at work, i ONLY get paid when i am actively teaching. so i can drive 30 minutes to work, sit there ALL day, and if we don’t get any lessons, i’ve wasted a whole day and made nothing. we all appreciate tips for a lesson well taught ![]()

less than 200 MB free.
Anyway, the space on "E" we didn’t need, so I decided to make "J" bigger by taking all but 5 GB of the free space
on "E" and adding it to "J".
I used Partition Magic to move the free space at the top end of "E" to the beginning, which made it contiguous to the
top end of "J", which, as I said, was right at the 1024 cylinder boundary (Partition Magic marks the boundary).
Moving the free space went fine,no problems at all.
I then used Partition Magic to add the free space at the bottom of "E" to the top of "J", and this is where everything hit the fan.
A warning showed up in PM about crossing the 1024 cylinder boundary, but I didn’t think it applied because all I was doing
was adding free space. Naturally, I was wrong – shouldn’t have done it!!!
So, the status of the machine now is this:
(1) the space was moved
(2) the machine comes up in dual-boot mode (as it always has) and asks which OS to start
(3) DOS runs fine, but, of course, sees only the 2 GB "C" drive
(4) If I select booting WIN 2K, it starts normally, at least at first, but then asks to check each drive for errors.
If I let the drive check proceed, it checks each drive and finds no errors. Then the system pops up the blue screen
of death with some message at the top that’s too quick to read (but I did figure it out – see below…), and then
the system re-boots. It just keeps on doing this, and it does the same thing whether or not I allow the disk check
to proceed.
Question is, WHAT TO DO???? I’m ready to make the machine into a boat anchor, but I really need what’s on it. I’m not
concerned about losing applications, and I’m willing to reformat the drive and start from scratch, but we must get the data
back (mostly photos not yet backed up to CD).
(5) Booting from another device? Seems like a good idea – but it doesn’t work! Even if I enter the BIOS at power-up and change
the order of the boot devices, trying to boot from a CD drive, it will not boot! For example, if I insert the Win 2K steup disk
in the CD drive, it still boots from the hard drive. The system does boot from a 3.5" floppy, and I’vedone that several times
using Win 98 and Win ME boot floppies. But they start the system in DOS, not Windows, and it seems like there’s no where to go to
retrieve the hard disk data.
