Dear Tech Support:
Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 . I soon noticed
that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a
lot of space and valuable resources.
In addition , Wife 1.0 installed itself into all other programs and now
monitors all other system activity and applications such as Poker Night
10.3 , Football 5.0 , Hunting and Fishing 7.5 , and Racing 3.6. I can't
seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run my
favorite applications. I'm thinking about going back to Girlfriend 7.0,
but the uninstall doesn't work on Wife 1.0 .
Please help!
Thanks,
A Troubled User.

Dear Troubled User:
This is a very common problem that men complain about.
Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 , thinking that it
is just a Utilities and Entertainment program. Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING
SYSTEM and is designed by its Creator to run EVERYTHING !!! It is also
impossible to delete Wife 1.0 and to return to Girlfriend 7.0 . It is
impossible to uninstall, or purge the program files from the system
once installed.
You cannot go back to Girlfriend 7.0 because Wife 1.0 is designed to
not allow this. Look in your Wife 1.0 manual under
Warnings-Alimony-Child Support . I recommend that you keep Wife1.0 and
work on improving the situation. I suggest installing the background
application "Yes Dear" to alleviate software augmentation.
The best course of action is to enter the command C:\APOLOGIZE because
ultimately you will have to give the APOLOGIZE command before the
system will return to normal anyway.
Wife 1.0 is a great program, but it tends to be very high maintenance.
Wife 1.0 comes with several support programs, such as Clean and Sweep
3.0 , Cook It 1.5 and Do Bills 4.2 .
However , be very careful how you use these programs . Improper use
will cause the system to launch the program Nag Nag 9.5 . Once this
happens, the only way to improve the performance of Wife 1.0 is to
purchase additional software. I recommend Flowers 2.1 and Diamonds 5.0
!
WARNING!!! DO NOT , under any circumstances, install Secretary With
Short Skirt 3.3 . This application is not supported by Wife 1.0 and
will cause irreversible damage to the operating system.
Best of luck,
Tech Support.

Mom used to cut chicken, chop eggs and spread mayo on the same cutting
board with the same knife and no bleach, but we didn't get food poisoning.
My Mom used to defrost hamburger on the counter AND I used to eat a bite raw
sometimes, too. Our school sandwiches were wrapped in wax paper, in a brown paper bag, not in icepack coolers, but I can't remember anybody getting e.coli.
Almost all of us would have rather gone swimming in the lake instead of a pristine pool (talk about boring), no beach closures then.
The term cell phone would have conjured up a phone in a jail cell, and a pager was the school PA system.
We all took gym, not PE... and risked permanent injury with a pair of hightop Ked's (only worn in gym) instead of having cross-training athletic shoes with air cushion soles and built-in light reflectors. I can't recall any injuries but they must have
happened, because they tell us how much safer we are now....
Flunking gym was not an option... even for stupid kids! I guess PE must be much harder than gym.
Speaking of school, we all said prayers and sang the National Anthem, and staying in detention after school caught all sorts of negative attention. We must have had horribly damaged psyches.
What an archaic health system we had then. Remember school nurses? Ours wore a hat and everything, and she could even give you an aspirin for a headache or fever.
I thought that I was supposed to accomplish something before I was allowed to be proud of myself. I just can't recall how bored we were without computers, Play Station, Nintendo, X-box or 270 digital TV cable stations.
Oh yeah..and where was the Benadryl and sterilization kit when I got that bee sting? I could have been killed!
We played 'king of the hill' on piles of gravel left on vacant construction sites, and when we got hurt, Mom pulled out the 48-cent bottle of Mercurochrome (kids liked it better because it didn't sting like iodine did) and then we got our butt spanked!
Now it's a trip to the emergency room, followed by a 10-day dose of a $49 bottle of antibiotics, and then Mom calls the attorney to sue the contractor for leaving a horribly vicious pile of gravel where it was such a threat.
We didn't act up at the neighbor's house either, because if we did, we got our butt spanked there, and then we got butt spanked again when we got home. I recall Donny Reynolds from next door coming over and doing his tricks on the front stoop, just before he fell off. Little did his Mom know that she could have owned our house. Instead, she picked him up and swatted him for being such a goof.
It was a neighborhood run amuck.
To top it off, not a single person I knew had ever been told that they were from a "dysfunctional family". How could we possibly have known that we needed to get into group therapy and anger management classes? We were obviously so duped by so many societal ills, that we didn't even notice that the entire country wasn't taking Prozac! How did we ever survive?

I have two computers side bye side hooked up on my network. Anyhow I own two Belkin U.P.S. units that will run for 45 minutes without my house power.
Last week I lost power for hours on count of a ice storm and high winds. I was able to surf the web for about 30 minutes before I decided to shut off both computers. I wouldn't here of hooking up any comp I own unless I have it hooked up to a U.P.S. unit first.

I have been a member of World start for just about 2 years now.
Lately seems all anyone does in *OT* over there Shadow is see how many *Posts of Useless Things* they can do...
But ! none the less. There a good bunch of nuts.
Myself includeing. -
Seriously ! I think you should have one. I have been a member of World start for just about 2 years now. We have one over there and yes it gets a little heated in their, but ! as the ole saying goes, if you can't take the heat in the kitchen, then get out. I personally seldom if ever post in RP&C. I call it the shark tank, but that should not stop you from opening a board like that. I would like to think the people here are as responsible here as we are at WS.
We also never have anything spill over from RP&C. to any of our messaqge boards.
Are off topic board gets a little wacky at times, but everyone acts like adults.
I really don't see what the big deal is over haveing a RP&C. board here is. I can almost promise you, you will see me seldom post in it, but I love to read.
If you have you're RP&C. board moderated right and everyone follows the rules. Then really, what the big deal ?
Sorry if I come accross a little strong. I do however understand both sides of the argument.
Do what we do at World start. Require a membership for that board. At WS. even myself as a member had to sign up to even be able to view the RP&C. much lone post.
This way, you cover all your bases. I think it's simple. Add the board.
Have a great day everyone, smile.

This is what I have done for years and is simple. White noise.
Seriously, Years ago when I first met my wife before we got married, she use to think I had a screw loose
but today she does the same thing I do.We have a floor fan turned so it does not blow cold air on us.
I find the noise off a floor fan set on low speed of course works wonders. Anyhow, I know it sounds weird, but whatever works right ? Sometimes I can't always fall asleep with the fan because I may have many things on my mind. I refuse to toss and turn in bed, so I will get up and turn on the computer and read until I get drousy. I won't post on a board, just read.
Happy new year, Steve.

I like this thread
Lets see now. After I wake up or should I say I am woke up pretty much daily in one hell of a lot of back pain, anyhow I lay there for a few thinking, what is the best way to get out of bed without causing more pain. The first few steps are the worst because my ankles feel like they are going to break in a million pieces. Then it's potty time. I to make my coffee the night before so I won't screw that up. I laughed Pat when I read how you do that. I thought I was the only person that did that Lol. I turn the coffee on then go lay back down for 20 to 30 more minutes. Then I pour a big mug of coffee and that good Hazelnut creamer. Lately I have been drinking that, Eggnog creamer put out by, Carnation, Emmm. Then it's 650 MG. of Percocet every morning followed up with about a half pack of smokes, I turn on the computer with my mug of coffee. I too like peace & quiet when I first wake up for about 3 hours. Anyhow 30 to 40 mins. after I take my pain meds I get this really nice buzzy feeling in my head and just feel so relaxed as my pain fades away for about 3 hours. I usually don't post on any boards when I first wake up as that requires me to have to type and that is a big no no when I have my morning buzz.After my buzz starts to wear off I jump in the shower then shave etc. then it's time for my next round of happy meds. Me !! I swear I am always stoned 24 hours a day. And if I have a hard time getting to sleep I have, Valium.
And to think, my good doctor wants me on even stronger meds. *Not* I take enough as it is.
Anyhow, great thread.

This was received via friends and even though it may not in actuality be for real, it certainly could happen in our day and age. If just one person is saved from harm by reading it; it will be well worth forwarding and making you think before accepting help from a stranger. Our times are so different than when I grew up and we always offered help to each other.
Shadow.
About a month ago there was a woman standing by the mall entrance passing out flyers to all the women going in. The woman had written the flyer herself to tell about an experience she had, so that she might warn other women.
The previous day, this woman had finished shopping, went out to her car and discovered that she had a flat. She got the jack out of the trunk and began to change the flat. A nice man dressed in business suit and carrying a briefcase walked up to her and said, "I noticed you're changing a flat tire. Would you like me to take care of it for you?" The woman was grateful for his offer and accepted his help. They chatted amiably while the man changed the flat, and then put the flat tire and the jack in the trunk, shut it and dusted his hands off. The woman thanked him profusely, and as she was about to get in her car, the man told her that he left his car around on the other side of the mall, and asked if she would mind giving him a lift to his car. She was a little surprised and she asked him why his car was on other side. He said he got turned around in the mall and left through the wrong exit, and now he was running late and his car was clear around on the other side of the mall. The woman hated to tell him "no" because he had just rescued her from having to change her flat tire all by herself, but she felt uneasy. Then she remembered seeing the man put his briefcase in her trunk before shutting it and before he asked her for a ride to his car. She told him that she'd be happy to drive him around to his car, but she just remembered one last thing she needed to buy. She told the man that he could wait for her; she would be as quick as she could be. She hurried into the mall, and told a security guard what had happened; the guard came out to her car with her, but the man had left.
They opened the trunk, took out his locked briefcase and took it down to the police station. The police opened it (ostensibly to look for ID so they could return it to the man). What they found was rope, duct tape, and knives. When the police checked her tire, there was nothing wrong with it; the air had simply been let out.
It was obvious what the man's intention was, and obvious that he had carefully thought it out in advance. The woman was blessed to have escaped harm. How much worse it would have been if she had children with her and
had them wait in the car while the man fixed the tire, or if she had a baby strapped into a car seat; or if she'd gone against her initial judgment and given him a lift.
I'd like you to forward this to all the women you know. It may save a life. A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle.
I was going to send this to the ladies only; but guys, if you love your mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, etc., you may want to pass it on to them, as well. Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it....better safe than sorry.

PEASE READ THIS IT COULD SAVE A LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder how many people know about this?
Shadow.
A 36 year old female had an accident several weeks ago and totaled her car. A resident of Kilgore, Texas, she was traveling between Gladewater & Kilgore. It was raining, though not excessively, when her car suddenly began to hydroplane and literally flew through the air. She was not seriously injured but very stunned at the sudden occurrence!
When she explained to the highway patrolman what had happened he told her something that every driver should know - NEVER DRIVE IN THE RAIN WITH YOUR CRUISE CONTROL ON. She had thought she was being cautious by setting the cruise control and maintaining a safe consistent speed in the rain.
But the highway patrolman told her that if the cruise control is on and your car begins to hydroplane when your tires lose contact with the pavement, your car will accelerate to a higher rate of speed and you take off like an airplane. She told the patrolman that was exactly what had occurred. The highway patrol estimated her car was actually traveling through the air at 10 to 15 miles per hour faster than the speed set on the cruise control. The patrolman said this warning should be listed, on the driver's seat sun-visor - NEVER USE THE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN THE PAVEMENT IS WET OR ICY, along with the airbag warning. We tell our teenagers to set the cruise control and drive a safe speed - but we don't tell them to use the cruise control only when the pavement is dry.
The only person the accident victim found, who knew this (besides the patrolman), was a man who had had a similar accident, totaled his car and sustained severe injuries. If you send this to 15 people and only one of them doesn't know about this, then it was all worth it. You might have saved a life

I don't know what the hell people think anymore, but it's a shame. Glad to hear everything is ok. I hope they lock the Bast*** up for life. If they only slap this freak on the wrist, it could be a matter of time before he strikes again, and that would be terrible.
They have em in custy, lets only hope the law will do the right thing.

Since I am a member of, 'The 25 Miles To School Each Day', generation. (Up hill both ways.) I got a real laugh out of this one.
Growing Older (For the 30+ crowd)
IF you are 30 or older you will think this is hilarious!!!!
When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were when they were growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning ... uphill BOTH ways .. yadda, yadda, yadda
And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it!
But now that...
I'm over the ripe old age of thirty, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today. You've got it so easy!
I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a damn Utopia!
And I hate to say it but you kids today you don't know how good you've got it!
I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have The Internet.
If we wanted to know something, we had to go to the damn library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalog!!
There was no email! We had to actually write somebody a letter ... with a pen! Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the mailbox and it would take like a week to get there!
There were no MP3's or Napsters! You wanted to steal music,you had to hitchhike to the damn record store and shoplift it yourself! Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ'd usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up!
And talk about hardship? You couldn't just download porn! You had to steal it from your brother or bribe some homeless dude to buy you a copy of "Hustler" at the 7-11! Those were your options!
We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and somebody else called they got a busy signal,that's it!
And we didn't have fancy Caller ID Boxes either! When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your mom, your boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, a collections agent, you just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances, mister!
We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! ! ; We had the Atari 2600! With games like "Space Invaders" and "asteroids" and the graphics sucked ***! Your guy was a little square! You actually had to use your imagination! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen forever! And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died! ... Just like LIFE!
When you went to the movie theater there was no such thing as stadium seating! All the seats were the same height! If a tall guy or some old broad with a hat sat in front of you and you couldn't see, you were just screwed!
Sure, we had cable television, but back then that was only like 15 channels and there was no onscreen menu and no remote control! You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on!
You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off your *** and walk over to the TV to change the channel and there was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning. Do you hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons, you spoiled little rat-*******s!
And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat something up . we had to use the stove or go build a frigging fire ...
imagine that! If we wanted popcorn, we had to use that stupid JiffyPop thing and shake it over the stove forever like an idiot.
That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too easy. You're spoiled.
You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1980!
Regards,
-The 30 Something crowd!
