Can you not buy a portable hard drive (or even USB sticks go up to 32GB nowadays).

OH now has a 4TB network server for our home, so backups are not a problem.

The trouble is, it's the C: drive .... I try to keep all files on the (13GB). The C: drive is for system files/essentials only; stuff the PC's put there during setup .... so theoretically it shouldn't grow, but it does.

I wouldn't be worried about giving lir a cuddle (before or after radioactivity ), I don't think the fluffies need to worry either (all said from a semi-informed point of view).

It's the same radioactivity as three round-trips to the US

If you lived in Aberdeen/Cornwall/ the Rockies/Peru there'd be high levels due to radiation from space or underground release of radioactive gases and everybody just ignores it.

So....

Can anyone answer the sex question?

Is sex ok?

Sex with a condom safer, in the weirdest interpretation?

Just been sorting out my hard drive for the last hour.... got a "low on disk space" error, which meant I had to ensure the recycle bin was emptied, search for big files I didn't think I needed, run disk cleanup, run CCleaner, reboot a couple of times..... still not enough spare for a defrag though. Currently C: is 23GB, with 1.88GB spare. Defrag would like 15%, tried running it anyway, which it did, but didn't make much difference.

When I search for "all big files" there's stuff in there I wish I could just delete.... but it's probably system files

I understand that defragging when you have little free space is of little benefit.

Safer than if you were male IMHO, but whether a condom is a barrier to radioactivity. *shrugs*

The portaloo issue probably has not been considered by many as few would have the location to comfortably use a portaloo for any length of time.

My father had some radioactive treatment as part of his last lot of treatment. (google SIRT) He had it in 2 doses in an NHS hospital. The first half he was put in his own room and we were instructed to remain 10 feet away at all times. When he got home they had to sleep in separate rooms for 2 weeks. 2nd half of identical treatment and different staff put him in a large ward, pregnant nurses would stand right near him and the staff were put off that we wouldn't go near him.

I'll catch up today's pages in a minute but I have survived the party...just about, last guests left at 5 which is good going for a kids 2-4 party. Luckily we didn't have any beer/wine in the house otherwise I suspect I would probably be getting the BBQ out about now.

Back to the tidying up. 10 days ago I would have said that party organiser was a non-job, I take it all back now, I feel like I have been working 2 jobs the last 10 days. The iron on problem was resolved by an emergency trip to Tescos this AM so they got Tote bags and t-shirts, I will try and upload the group photo somewhere later, other peoples kids though so it will have to be somewhere private and get taken down soon.

Yes, minimum is 15% .... but if you try with less it offers it to you and you have a strange thought that maybe.... if you let it do it .... 3-4x ... it might at least join up a few files. Of course, it never works out, but you try anyway, because you can.

Following on from a couple of previous posts (having trouble quoting) I've got images of fir in my head running around singing this:

The radioactivity levels in some treaments may be higher that that used in some tests like lir's. Our childminder had to bring in assistants when she had treatment. She couldn't touch anyone for about two days and stayed several feet away from everybody else.

Driveways? Front garden?


It's more the faff of getting out to it if feeling as unwell as most would who needed to consider it I think.
