So far, the feedback from the ladies has been surprisingly kind; they actually tell me it’s not even obvious yet that I’ve lost any weight, 😁 which leads them to ask if I’ve actually dropped anything at all—they really are wonderful. The men, however, are a different story entirely. One acquaintance went out of his way to insist that I absolutely cannot dye my hair, while my father continues his relentless crusade, lecturing me that I need to eat more because I’m apparently eating for two.
I haven't personally used it myself, but both my mother and a client of mine have, and they both had excellent results. For the last five years, my mother dealt with incredibly heavy bleeding and had to undergo numerous D&Cs just to manage it; she tried just about everything under the sun, and Emma ended up being the solution during the three months she was taking it. She still had her period for another three months afterward—though it was a bit heavier—but then she finally transitioned into menopause (she's 53 now), and one of her two fibroids actually disappeared while the other shrunk significantly. As for my client, taking it helped shrink her fibroid and lightened her bleeding considerably.
Gary Williams47 said:The most effective remedy—at least in my estimation—would be to simply throw more RAM at the problem if your hardware allows for it. Alternatively, you could try plugging in a USB flash drive and waiting for that autoplay prompt to pop up asking what you intend to do with it; just select "speed up my system" and see where that takes you.
I appreciate the assistance. After taking a closer look at my running processes, it appears they aren't actually the culprits behind the RAM drain, so I'm left scratching my head over the cause. I gave the USB trick a shot, which shaved a few percentage points off the load, but nothing substantial. It looks like I'll just have to bite the bullet and pick up another gigabyte of RAM.
So, here’s the situation: I’m running an Acer Aspire One netbook, which, as anyone who has spent time with these little things knows, is essentially shackled by its 1GB of RAM. Up until recently, it performed adequately enough, but lately, the machine has slowed to a crawl, and if you look at my resource monitor, the RAM usage is sitting right at that critical threshold where everything starts to choke. It’s currently running Windows 7 Ultimate, which—if I’m being honest—feels like trying to power a heavy-duty industrial generator with a single AA battery, though it managed to limp along without much complaint until now. I suspect I’ll need to go in and "execute" some background processes to free up some breathing room, but I haven't quite identified which culprits are draining the life out of it. If anyone has a practical solution or a way to slim this thing down, please let me know...
I’m at my wit's end here; I have tried every conceivable fix, yet these little disk icons remain stubbornly glued to my desktop. Does anyone happen to know how to make them disappear for good? If you have a solution, please just send me a private message. Here is a link to a screenshot of my desktop; hopefully, this provides enough context for someone to identify the culprit. http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/946...topproblem.png
I could use some perspective here... Are high-end spa treatments actually worth the investment? If they are, which ones shouldn't be skipped? Is there a more budget-friendly way to achieve similar results at home? In any case, I'd appreciate any insight you can offer—please feel free to share your own experiences.
