Blumin' eck Lubes ...

Scrazy · 09/01/2013 21:30

Nooo. I cannot do it, pm me if you have any more help on this, thanks.

antonym · 09/01/2013 21:31

bant that's very interesting.

In other news, shift + PrtSc doeswhat I said it does.

antonym · 09/01/2013 21:33

What operating system are you using?

lubeybooby · 09/01/2013 21:34

Scrazy, I'll pm you

Bant · 09/01/2013 21:37

Yep ant, two different things. One is everything on the screen, one is whatever's in focus. Both work on windows.

Scrazy · 09/01/2013 21:38

Doh, Vista, I think. Is that what you meant? My PrtSc is on top of a SysRq key and when I press alt + PrtSc or anything else like shift + alt + PrtSc it doesn't do anything.

Scrazy · 09/01/2013 21:38

Thanks Lubey.

scoobydooagain · 09/01/2013 21:42

Well sent text re his muddled head and him needing time and he replied will phone Friday for a chat, glad I sent it and now waiting to get officially dumped FridaySad

Snapespeare · 09/01/2013 21:47

scooby sorry to hear that, if that's what it is; but it's better to be brave and find out. Then you can start repairing & moving on...

antonym · 09/01/2013 21:48

I promise it does, it puts a picture on the clipboard. You can't see it doing that but if you open a new file in any program which can handle pictures, and do ctrl+V or right click>paste, it will put the picture into the document.

SkaffenAmtiskaw · 09/01/2013 21:48

Scrazy, sometimes it's Fn + PrtSc that works, depends on your computer, but definitely soemthing to do with PrtSc!

Sorry guys, I have neglected these threads lately. My excuse is I've been having a pretty rough time... But the good news is, I have a date with Mr HotYoga on Saturday! Our third meeting but our first "proper date" in that we're going for dinner and then onto a comedy club. Things are going well with him, we get on very well, plenty to talk about, and I do find him physically attractive although he doesn't make me swoon (not quite up there with the Ashton Kutcher lookalikes, phwoar, Lubey!). Not sure how he feels about me, in that, does he fancy me? No evidence of that so far...

JulietteMontague · 09/01/2013 21:48

Lubey did you set it up from the beginning as fwb or is this the start of something else?

Yogagirl17 · 09/01/2013 21:49

Hi - just popping in for a quick hello! Survived my first two days at work, all going well. Nice people - no single men tho and the women are either 25 or 65 - but it's all fine. Sorry no idea what's going on threadwise other than Dumbledore's hands are too small. Sorry snape.

Scrazy, on a mac if you press cmd+alt+4 you can choose an area of the screen to take a 'screen shot' of and it saves the image to your desktop. However, if you're talking about a photo that you use for your Skype profile then that photo is probably already saved somewhere on your computer, just a case of finding it.

Will try adn catch up at the weekend.

scoobydooagain · 09/01/2013 21:50

Cheers snape would just rather know and then get on the sofa for bit to be ready to start again springtime!

Snapespeare · 09/01/2013 21:51

WARNING DAILY HATE link. 'Nice guys of OKC' picked up by the daily mail....

Scrazy · 09/01/2013 21:53

Scooby, you will get your answer on Friday, hope it's what you want to hear but if not it's closure and that is always worth having.

Yes I have fn on a keyboard at work and I was the only one to work that one out (Function). Don't have this on mine so will keep trying to work it out.

MirandaWest · 09/01/2013 21:53

Sorry snape :(

lubeybooby · 09/01/2013 22:02

Well Juliette on my PoF profile I said I was looking for a casual relationship, a bit like FWB in that there's no expectations/demands/commitment on that persons time/energy and that you get together when you can, but with a little romance and going out allowed. Just definitely no marriage or living together. (Much like me and BC were I suppose. I won't be looking for anything serious until I've got my DD sorted with uni and all that)

I said on the profile I hoped that made sense and made a joke at the end about offering a bag of minstrels as a prize if it did. He replied asking for the minstrels so seemed to 'get it'

lubeybooby · 09/01/2013 22:07

Oh and I also said something along the lines of that I wanted to be monogamous as not into one nighters but no commitment either... as I say he 'got it' anyway

Skaffen, good luck! Your date sounds v good. I'm sure he wouldn't have arranged it if he didn't find you attractive as well

Scrazy · 09/01/2013 22:07

lubey, I empathise with DD being your priority, you might find that getting her through the next couple of years really takes your time, encouragement and energy. I was happy with that sort of arrangement too. Now I'm not!!! :(

JulietteMontague · 09/01/2013 22:08

Lubey perfect

lubeybooby · 09/01/2013 22:16

Scrazy yeah it is doing. With that and work I just can't offer someone a proper relationship - which in my mind is where you spend a lot more time together, introduce kids, etc etc and it's all working towards it being co-habitation/marriage.

But I like sex and company and conversation and dinner and stuff and would like to just be shagging one person when I get the chance, rather than a series of randomers, and having a nice time going out and stuff. I'm such a hermit given the chance, I really need the going out bit... so just fwb or a series of one nighters wouldn't be satisfying.
