Dear Tech Support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance,

particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0 .

In addition, Husband 1.0 un-installed many other valuable programs, such as: Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as :

NBA 5.0,
NFL 3.0 and
Golf Clubs 4.1

Also Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2. 6 simply crashes the system.

Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.

What can I do?

Signed, Desperate.



DEAR DESPERATE,

First, keep in mind * Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while * Husband 1.0 is an operating system.

Please enter command: ithoughtyoulovedme.html and try to download Tears 6.2 and do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update.

* If that application works as designed , Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.

However, remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5 , Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1 .

* Please note that Beer 6. 1 is a very bad program that will download the Farting and Snoring Loudly Beta.

Whatever you do, DO NOT under any circumstances install Mother-In-Law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your systems resources.)

In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0 -program These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0 .

In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly.. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory

and performance. We recommend Cooking 3.0 and Hot Lingerie 7.7.

Good Luck!

I Don't Know What to Say?
Posted: 11/2/2009 12:22:15 PM

You saw something in the profile that intrigued you -- what was it? Common interests you can discuss? Shared experiences? You live in the same town, or maybe have visited the same places?

Don't be nervous. It's all about getting to know people, and you can't do so without opening up a bit and engaging in a friendly conversation


I've said hi and mentioned something in the profile and then after that nerves take over.



If you can't think of anything other to say than "hi", you're really not an interesting person.


I don't think that is the case at all. I kind of equate it to some people who freeze up when taking a test. They know the material, but........



OP, if this is your first time then it may be a little overwhelming at first. The best thing to do is pick something out of their profile or interests that you either have in common or it could be something you want to know more about. Either way, use that as a topic to either start or continue a conversation. It's ok to ask questions but don't make initial emails too long.


Overwhelmed is how I feel. I need to relax.


don't take the fact that they don't respond or they don't contact again personal. Look at each one as a learning experience and getting your feet wet in the conversation process.


Good advice. Thanks.


Common manners seem to have taken a back seat in online dating & responding out of courtesy when not interested is rare, but don't let that discourage you.


I've found that out.


Like most everything else in life, you'll get out of it, what you put into it and just saying Hi, is equal to email suicide. So, hang in there, use a little creativity & imagination and don't get discouraged. It hasn't always been easy, but I have met some very nice women online and had some great experiences/relationships. You just have to keep plugging away at it.


Thanks for the advice.


Welcome and good luck!


Thanks again.



well, opie, it sounds like you care too much about making a good impression, so you get too self-conscious, then you just blank. constructively, trying to put your focus elsewhere will make you feel more relaxed. easier said than done though...but practice will help.


Self conscious is an understatement. Again, I need to take a deep breath and relax.

Thanks for all the replies. I'll stick to reading the forums and getting more comfortable with the people here and just let nature take it's course.

I Don't Know What to Say?
Posted: 11/2/2009 12:20:40 AM
This is the fist time I've joined a dating site and I find myself nervous. I read profiles and it sounds interesting and then I have a hard time finding something to say other than "hi". I did exchange a couple of messages with someone that I found interesting and we IM'd a couple of times and then it stopped. I don't know if I said something wrong or didn't say enough. I just need a little advice on this online dating thing.

I don't care how much money a guy had, I could never depend on him to take care of me. I've been taking care of myself for too long to leave it in someone else's hands.

A WOMAN'S WEEK AT THE GYM
Posted: 11/1/2009 3:25:20 PM
A WOMAN'S WEEK AT THE GYM

If you read this without laughing out loud, there is something wrong with you.. This is dedicated to everyone who ever attempted to get into a regular workout routine.

Dear Diary,
For my birthday this year, I purchased a week of personal training at the local health club.

Although I am still in great shape since being a high school football cheerleader 43 years ago, I decided it would be a good idea to go ahead and give it a try.

I called the club and made my reservations with a personal trainer named Christo, who identified himself as a 26-year-old aerobics instructor and model for athletic clothing and swim wear.

Friends seemed pleased with my enthusiasm to get started! The club encouraged me to keep a diary to chart my progress.
________________________________
MONDAY:
Started my day at 6:00 a.m. Tough to get out of bed, but found it was well worth it when I arrived at the health club to find Christo waiting for me. He is something of a Greek god-- with blond hair, dancing eyes, and a dazzling white smile. Woo Hoo!!

Christo gave me a tour and showed me the machines.. I enjoyed watching the skillful way in which he conducted his aerobics class after my workout today. Very inspiring!

Christo was encouraging as I did my sit-ups, although my gut was already aching from holding it in the whole time he was around. This is going to be a FANTASTIC week!!
________________________________

TUESDAY:
I drank a whole pot of coffee, but I finally made it out the door. Christo made me lie on my back and push a heavy iron bar into the air then he put weights on it! My legs were a little wobbly on the treadmill, but I made the full mile. His rewarding smile made it all worthwhile. I feel GREAT! It's a whole new life for me.
_______________________________

WEDNESDAY:
The only way I can brush my teeth is by laying the toothbrush on the counter and moving my mouth back and forth over it. I believe I have a hernia in both pectorals. Driving was OK as long as I didn't try to steer or stop. I parked on top of a GEO in the club parking lot.

Christo was impatient with me, insisting that my screams bothered other club members. His voice is a little too perky for that early in the morning and when he scolds, he gets this nasally whine that is VERY annoying.

My chest hurt when I got on the treadmill, so Christo put me on the stair monster. Why the hell would anyone invent a machine to simulate an activity rendered obsolete by elevators? Christo told me it would help me get in shape and enjoy life. He said some other shit too.
_______________________________

THURSDAY:
***hole was waiting for me with his vampire-like teeth exposed as his thin, cruel lips were pulled back in a full snarl. I couldn't help being a half an hour late-- it took me that long to tie my shoes.

He took me to work out with dumbbells. When he was not looking, I ran and hid in the restroom. He sent some skinny **** to find me.
Then, as punishment, he put me on the rowing machine-- which I sank.
_________________________________

FRIDAY:
I hate that **stard Christo more than any human being has ever hated any other human being in the history of the world. Stupid, skinny, anemic, anorexic, little aerobic instructor. If there was a part of my body I could move without unbearable pain, I would beat him with it.

Christo wanted me to work on my triceps. I don't have any triceps! And if you don't want dents in the floor, don't hand me the damn barbells or anything that weighs more than a sandwich.

The treadmill flung me off and I landed on a health and nutrition teacher. Why couldn't it have been someone softer, like the drama coach or the choir director?
________________________________

SATURDAY:
Satan left a message on my answering machine in his grating, shrilly voice wondering why I did not show up today. Just hearing his voice made me want to smash the machine with my planner; however, I lacked the strength to even use the TV remote and ended up catching eleven straight hours of the Weather Channel..
________________________________

SUNDAY:
I'm having the Church van pick me up for services today so I can go and thank GOD that this week is over. I will also pray that next year my husband will choose a gift for me that is fun-- like a root canal or a hysterectomy. I still say if God had wanted me to bend over, he would have sprinkled the floor with diamonds!!!

who e-mails who first
Posted: 10/31/2009 11:40:42 PM
I have emailed and only had one guy email me first. I emailed one that even deleted my email w/o reading it. I thought that strange. I would at least be curious. Anyway, no one emails me back after a few so I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I quit emailing.

salmon cakes and orzo

When I make salmon patties I just add some egg, bread crumbs, onion, salt, pepper and garlic powder. I fry them and then put syrup on them when I eat it.

I cook rice and chicken and lean hamburger for my two dogs. I mix it in with their dry food and some chicken broth. Of course it has to be warmed up too. No cold food for them.

Best friend was hitting on your spouse. What would you do?
Posted: 10/29/2009 8:12:22 PM
Depends on the total situation.

I had it happen a long time ago. A lot of drinking going on and the long time friend of SO hit on me. I just extricated myself from the situation but the next day told the friend that I did not appreciate it and would tell if it ever happened again. The friend apologized profusely and never did it again. We stayed friends for a long time and he was always a gentlemen.

In most other cases I would say yes that I would tell SO after I told the friend off myself.

dating a drug (ecstasy) user
Posted: 10/28/2009 11:54:14 PM

I will research and try to find a way to help him and will be there for him when he needs a friend.


If you want to help him then drop him off at rehab. He's been there before so he knows where to go. You cannot help him. All you will do is wind up enabling him. Go visit him in rehab. If he doesn't go to rehab then run the other way.

HOW CAN YOU BREAK UP WITH SOMEONE WITHOUT CAUSING THAT PERSON PAIN?
Posted: 10/28/2009 11:46:36 PM

You left out that breaking up is like removing a band-aid. The longer you take doing it the more it will hurt.


So true.

THE MOST FUNCTIONAL ENGLISH WORD
Posted: 10/27/2009 11:20:52 PM
THE MOST FUNCTIONAL ENGLISH WORD

Well, it's $hit ... that's right, $hit!

$hit may just be the most functional word in the English language.

Consider:
You can get $hit-faced, Be $hit-out-of-luck, Or have $hit for brains.

With a little effort, you can get your $hit together, find a place for your $hit, or be asked to $hit or get off the pot.

You can smoke $hit, buy $hit, sell $hit, lose $hit, find $hit, forget $hit, and tell others to eat $hit.

Some people know their $hit, while others can't tell the difference between $hit and $hineola.

There are lucky $hits, dumb $hits, and crazy $hits. There is bull $hit, horse $hit, and chicken $hit.

You can throw $hit, sling $hit, catch $hit, shoot the $hit, or duck when the $hit hits the fan.

You can give a $hit or serve $hit on a shingle.

You can find yourself in deep $hit or be happier than a pig in $hit.

Some days are colder than $hit, some days are hotter than $hit, and some days are just plain $hitty.

Some music sounds like $hit, things can look like $hit, and there are times when you feel like $hit.

You can have too much $hit, not enough $hit, the right $hit, the wrong $hit or a lot of weird $hit.

You can carry $hit, have a mountain of $hit, or find yourself up $hit creek without a paddle.

Sometimes everything you touch turns to $hit and other times you fall in a bucket of $hit and come out smelling like a rose.

When you stop to consider all the facts, it's the basic building block of the English language.

And remember, once you know your $hit, you don't need to know anything else!!

You could pass this along, if you give a $hit; or not do so if you don't give a $hit!

Well, $hit, it's time for me to go. Just wanted you to know that I do give a $hit and hope you had a nice day, without a bunch of $hit. But, if you happened to catch a load of $hit from some $hit-head...........

Well, $hit Happens!!!

HAVING MOM OVER FOR DINNER
Posted: 10/27/2009 11:19:15 PM
HAVING MOM OVER FOR DINNER

Brian invited his mother over for dinner. During the course of the meal, Brian's mother couldn't help but notice how beautiful Brian's roommate, Jennifer, was. Brian's Mom had long been suspicious of a relationship between Brian and Jennifer, and this had only made her more curious.

Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between Brian and Jennifer than met the eye.

Reading his mom's thoughts, Brian volunteered, " I know what you must
be thinking, but I assure you Jennifer and I are just roommates."

About a week later, Jennifer came to Brian saying, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?"

Brian said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll send her an e-mail just to be sure. So he sat down and wrote:

Dear Mom,

I'm not saying that you "did" take the gravy ladle from the house,
I'm not saying that you "did not" take the gravy ladle.
But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner.

Love, Brian
___________________________________

Several days later, Brian received an email back from his mother that read:

Dear Son,

I'm not saying that you "do" sleep with Jennifer, I'm not saying that you "do not" sleep with Jennifer.
But the fact remains that if Jennifer is sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now.

Love, Mom

Would you date a cheater
Posted: 10/26/2009 10:10:13 PM
I had a relationship with a guy for many years who cheated on his wife because she had cheated on him. I found this out about a year into the relationship and although I found the excuse juvenile I never once thought he cheated on me. In the long run though that should have told me how his mind worked. He was a mama's boy and never grew up.

Anyways, I don't care for cheaters and as someone stated cheating and lying go hand in hand. I do believe that someone who has cheated "once" can regret it and see the errors of their ways and not do it again.

Ladies what is more acceptable: divorced or never married as a guy at 39
Posted: 10/26/2009 9:07:02 PM

So...what you're saying is...you'd rather be with a sheep than someone who was smart enough to weigh all the options and not do the "let's give this a shot" thing?

Interesting...

Someone who LOOKS for a failure. That's a new trick.


No, not some who LOOKS for failure, but rather someone who is not afraid to take a chance. Big diffence. People that are afraid to take chances are often socially stunted.

my boyfriend asked me for money
Posted: 10/26/2009 9:03:42 PM
I don't mean this to sound cruel or offensive but I think you may need to work on your self esteem. You sound like a nice person and don't deserve that type of treatment from anyone. You need to ask yourself why you put up with it for one moment longer when you knew something was wrong instead of making it like it was your fault for making him mad for not giving him the money. Kick him to the curb and don't accept that treatment from anyone.

Truthfully, I am more worried about a guy who is say 40 and never been married as apposed to a guy that has been divorced. I kind of feel that at least by that time he has given it a chance and it has failed as apposed to not giviving marriage a chance.

What is your expectations of the perfect man/women for you???
Posted: 10/26/2009 8:03:12 PM
I think more about the perfect "relationship" rather than the perfect man. I don't believe a person can be perfect to anyone or everyone. A relationship has to be built upon and forged from two personalities that have to find a common ground. If that common ground is not found then you can forget it. Give and take is what it's all about. When one does all the giving then it is one sided and it will not last.
