I had my mom bid on it, so she raised the minimum to what I wanted it to be thank fuck And eBay has fucked me over on sales before, my items never seem to get on the front page or watchers, I usually get like $30-$40 less on average per product

In fact I'm almost positive. But yea, just edit the listing, put the info at the bottom, and if someone ends up winning, just let them know.
There's a way to end it if someone hasn't bidded, but someone had and so I couldn't change any auction details or pricings, if I ended it he would've gotten it for 99 cents. But I got my mom to bid to up the minimum, if she's highest I'm going to transfer her the money and then just lose 10% to processing since I put local pickup as an option. So crisis averted Also it will cost $65 to repair the aperture on one of my lenses, is that a decent price?

[QUOTE=Uber|nooB;35797515]i used to think that people rated you dumb just because of your name and avatar but now i see there is a more profound reason [editline]2nd May 2012[/editline] b-hazard you are a bro and i hope things get better for you quick (and they should)[/QUOTE] i dunno, dumb user isn't usually too bad, I just think that particular case was a really bad judgement call. As true as the "don't stick your dick in crazy" thing may be, it's just not the sort of thing you should say to someone in this situation.
Finally got back on my computer for a VERY long time. Hello, guys and girls! [editline]3rd May 2012[/editline] Oh boy.... [img]http://puu.sh/sElg[/img]

Thats so awesome. Whats that last word, 'help fund the next ____?' I can't see it.
I decided to browse film at this little shop near the train station and I saw a few rolls of Agfa Vista 200 27exp. Having never tried it, I asked how much it was. He said that it was expired and that I could have it for a buck. I told him I had no money, because I didn't. He gave it to me for free. What a nice guy :)

So I have to get a root canal because I missed my last dentist appointment and gave a cavity enough time to break one of my teeth. It's "not deep enough to hurt now but deep enough to start hurting after I fix it if I don't remove the nerve" according to the guy. And apparently [I]all four of my wisdom teeth are coming out at once[/I] and this is going to suck
Oh yikes, they'll probably knock you out and you'll just have gauss mouth for a day. Getting knocked out was the weirdest thing ever (since I've never done any sort of drugs and I weighed 110 pounds at almost 6 feet tall) I just remember waking up and they asked me if I could walk and I said yes, then i remember being wheelchaired to my car
Luckily I have good teeth and no problems with my wisdom teeth. Brushing your teeth and eating a lot of gum saves a lot of money and pain. [sp]I think I'm addicted to bubble gum though :([/sp]
My sister had her wisdom teeth removed. After the surgery we walked around a shopping mall and got her some stuff to cheer her up, we sat down in the food court so we could have Ice Cream, it fell out of her mouth like she had an actual hole in it. Was both funny and sad. Don't worry about pain though, apparently it's more of a sore feeling, like your muscles after working out. Buy some frozen vegetables or something, and place them on the side of your head every now and then to reduce the swelling.
So she doesn't want to break up anymore, turns out it was only because her Councillor advised her to. But she also told me she won't tell anyone if she tries to off herself again and that she wished I hadn't called an ambulance, so I'm not even sure if I should stay with her now since I might be pretty much 'sticking my dick in crazy'.
I didn't mean they're extracting all of them at the same time, just that they're starting to come out and swell up my gums and shit. Who knows, maybe I'll just need some serious painkillers and antibiotics and I'll be fine.
B-haz, i think you should try to break up with her or get her to end it with you. She seems like a huge liability and you haven't been going out too long, i wouldn't want to be with a girl that threatens to kill herself every few days, i couldn't.

Is everything that's good about the relationship better than the worst? Not to say that you shouldn't be with her because of how she's feeling, but you mentioned 'chasing girls' in your exam period. So I'm assuming you haven't known her for that long? Don't mean to sound cruel, but these are questions you have to ask yourself. Is it worth being with her? Gotta put yourself first man. If you do want to be with her, what can you do to help? (both for her and your relationship). If she's still caught up about her ex, you don't want to find yourself down the line, with her feeling the same way about you than she does with him. Just being blunt. I feel for you man, and hope that you both come out of this okay - especially her. Those dark places can seem like infinity (trust me, I've had my fair share of depression - not to the point where suicide has seemed like an option - but I know how hard it can be to get yourself out of it). [editline]4th May 2012[/editline] Haha, Blaze beat me to pretty much the same sentiment.
I have to agree with the guys above, but let me just add that ultimately you are in charge of your own life; if you let that get controlled by as massive a liability as this relationship seems like it would be then you are very, very dedicated guy, one either much braver or one much more cowardly than myself. Braver if you do it out of love, cowardly if you do it out of fear I know it might seem a bit harsh, but as soon as you let your life get over-run in a situation that you don't really choose for yourself (especially when you have the opportunity), then you're stuck with it. just for the record, if I was in your situation i'd probably be to afraid to just leave the girl outright, I think the only way i'd be capable of it would be to make her want to leave me due to the complexity of it
wow, words of wisdom coming from the photography sub-forum regulars. Almost definitely the best sub-forum on fp.
I trust the words of the photography section more than the advice of some of my close friends tbh :v:. I think I'm going to see her on Sunday, if it goes alright see her again and make up my mind after that.
Is she going through a phase and is just doing it for attention or has something happened in her life that would lead her to wanting to kill herself?
People from her town have been trying to convince her to do it.
B-Hazard, be strong.
Broke up with her, I can't deal with a girl like that.
[QUOTE=B-hazard;35812808]Broke up with her, I can't deal with a girl like that.[/QUOTE] I hope she didn't take it too bad. You wouldn't want to to make it worse.
[QUOTE=Tinter;35813434]I hope she didn't take it too bad. You wouldn't want to to make it worse.[/QUOTE] It's not his fault, don't make him feel bad about it. He did what was best.
[QUOTE=B-hazard;35812808]Broke up with her, I can't deal with a girl like that.[/QUOTE] This man has won. Sorry about the post before, but it's the best advice I can give (and it really is true). I had a girlfriend exactly like that and the best thing I ever did was break up with her. It really opened my eyes into what certain types of people are like and has saved me a lot of pain countless times since. Chin up brother, there's better out there.
[QUOTE=Kabstrac;35818700]I want to say that I think this section is the best part of FP in so many ways. This section has inspired me a ton, and has helped me develop my skills so much, as well as my knowledge of cameras in general. All the users here are great, and can all take/give criticism that helps us improve rather than criticize just to be an ass.[/QUOTE] I think I speak from everyone when I say thankyou! I've never spent time in any other subforums despite being on here actively for 4 years now (apart from reading the LMAO pictures thread) so I wouldn't know what others are like.
