Randy Newman wrote a song about that.
I, for one, like Roman Numerals.

Many young men find intelligent and competent young women intimidating. The only advice I will give you is not to compromise; somewhere out there is someone who can appreciate you for what you are, rather than what he'd like you to be.
As for the rest (sickness, rain, stairs, squash, studies), that's just life - some days you get honey, other days you get onions. The important thing is not to let it depress you.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

I feel your pain. I am sitting here, on my computer, while working on my wife's computer. It pulled a MEMORY MANAGEMENT Blue Screen of Death. The house is not air conditioned and it is 10F degrees warmer and much dryer than normal for late September. Rain would be appreciated – my pastures are starting to brown from lack of rain. My wife and both children (all three are college students!) are studying for an exam tomorrow, leaving me to do all of the daily chores – both the household chores and the ranch chores.
Feeling ill just makes everything worse for you. But it could be much worse. From your use of words, I would assume that you are at least 40 years younger than I – Yep, I am a "retired" senior citizen.
The good news is that boyfriends and girlfriends are replaceable. I know, at first, it hurts. Better to find out about potential relationship problems before marriage. If you cannot work them out, you can both walk away. After marriage, it is significantly more difficult and much more painful.
If you want to talk, email me directly. I usually can write back late at night or shortly after midnight US Central Time.

I see this as more an intra-family conflict, rather than a "life-work" conflict ... of course, that does not mean it's any less troubling for you.
imho, your reasons for not following demands you had no input into are solid, and you have every right to say to anyone who has problems with your necessary work-related choices ... whatever you want to say.
cheers, Bill

You mentioned the word "wife" in your post, so I presume you know that even with the best arguments you are going to be wrong in the end, don't you ?

What teams?
My Saturday was alright but Sunday was much different.
I'd been running fevers and had random sweating all week (hair wringing wet sweats) so the Mrs told me I looked to ill to go to church. She went and while she was gone I went to hang my pants back up. Reached down to the bed to grab them and the back seized up. It's happened before and I've just had to move slowly and be careful for a couple of days. This time though, I laid down and an hour later when I tried to get up, it was pain just short of kidney stone pain*. Took me 20 minutes to figure out a way to get to a standing position, the sweat this time was from pain. When she got home, we went to the Emergency Room and got to be there for 6 hours. Feel a lot better today, morphine was my friend.
*I was delirious with a kidney stone, was able to keep hold mentally this time.

FL State and Miami. My wife almost graduated from FL State. I'm only guilty by association. The in-laws are Miami fans, not because they ever went to school there, only 'cause the lived there.
Personally, I don't give a hoot about sports other than golf...and even that's a waning interest.
Sorry to hear about your godawful Sunday!  ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif) Get better!

I am still using Windows NT 4.0 on one of the workstation. Works great for what I need.

I plan on using Win 7 for as long as I can. Hoping they'll keep extending like they did with xp.

Me too, although my eventual upgrade to VS 2019 will force me to go to 10.

I think it may have a problem building Android apps for ARM.

There's nothing stopping you from using it.
The only thing you're not going to get is patch for any newly found security holes. Antivirus software isn't going to help that situation much either.

You haven't had support since it was released. Why should EOL make things any different.
