INSTALLING A HUSBAND

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 uninstalled 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 4.1.

Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. I’ve 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 don’t 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.

But 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 Snoring Loudly Beta.

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

Also do not attempt to reinstall 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,

Tech Support

They are from a song by the Go Go’s an ’80s band.

It was great to take a break and go on vacation…

I would like to thank Sharyn Essman the owner of FeeFiFoto.com for stepping in and guest blogging. I enjoyed the post and it looks like many others did also.

This year we went to the Outer Banks, NC for the week. And we really went to the outer banks. The only way you could get access to our cabin was with a high clearnence 4-wheel drive. We only had to drive 8 miles on the beach to get to our cabin.

It was a blast… a whole week without cell phone, internet, cable or even a land line phone. It very restful to get away from all of the modern conveniences of the world today.

Here are few pictures…

Ponys of the Outer Banks

There are wild ponies that roam the northern end of the Outer Banks. They are descendents of the Spanish Mustangs, and have lived here for 400 years.  It was so cool to see the magnificent animals living free.

OBX beach

Here is a great picture of the beach… notice the tire tracks.

OBX Ponys on a sand dune

Here are some more ponies up on the sand dunes grazing. You are suppose to stay 300 feet away… I had to use the zoom to get this shot.

Xterra on the beach

Here is our daily beach setup with the Xterra. The best part with this is we could toss everything in the back, lock it up and go for a walk on the beach. The raised tail gate made for some nice shade… we don’t need no stinkin umbrella.

Sand Dune

Here is a shot of the dune, and someone’s beach access. About every half mile there is a break in the dune. This is where you drive your vehicle over to get back to the cabins. It is the only place you can be on a dune. They want the rest of the dunes to stay free of any traffic, walking… to help protect erosion.

I’ll post some more pictures, and tell more about the trip later. It sure was great to get away for awhile.

If you don’t know what this is let me explain…

You will see a link to page looks like it contains valuable information, or a video.. When you click on the link you get sent a page which starts playing a video of Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up”. Usually you are greeted with a headline that say “You’ve Been Ricked Rolled!”

Well it looks like The Muppets have joined in on the fun…

Here is the best version of Rick Rolled I’ve seen. Of course I’m a Muppets fan so I guess that makes me biased. Personally I like the fact that Beaker gets to be the lead on this song… I’ve always felt his talent was over looked!

This was expertly dubbed from the original version which Beaker sang the song “Feelings”…

I’m sitting in a hotel and they of course have Wi-fi. Its much cooler surfing and checking email. One thing that makes it alittle easier is the Itouch will fill-in words for you much like when your texting on your cell phone.

The learning curve is not to bad, but I should have read the instructions.Another drawback is I can’t see how this is formatting. I found out that it does auto save….because I accidentally touched something and found myself back at the dashboard.

I can’t see using the Itouch for regular posting, but in a pinch it will work.

I did, because I took 3 days and went to Long Beach, CA. My wife was taking a business trip there, and I decided at the last minute to tag along for the weekend.

We had a great time. Here are a couple pictures of the trip…

This is a nice scenic view of the beach.

Here is a picture of the Lifguard House towards the end of the day.  You can see the marine layer was setting in, but it was still in the low 70’s.

My wife had to attend a conference, and I decided to fly home today.  It was a short trip, but was really great to get away from the cold weather here on the east coast.   And my wife said it makes the business trip more enjoyable for her.

Freedom is the best benefit of running your own business in my opinion.    The freedom to take an extra day without having to clear it with anyone, the freedom to make the decision of which day to return.  I have to say that kind of freedom for me is more important than the security of employment.

James Brausch tells about his latest trip to Costa Rica: http://www.jamesbrausch.org/pictures-from-last-week/

Steve Lohrenz tells about he earned his freedom from his job at his blog today: http://www.stevenlohrenz.com/how-i-earned-my-freedom-and-quit-my-job.  Congratulations to you Steve!

I’m grateful that I have this kind of freedom, and realize alot of people don’t.   A lot of people go to a job they can’t stand, to work for a boss who is unappreciative of their efforts.   

But this freedom’s available for anyone who makes the decision to reach out and grab it.

He left me alone in the house again! He went to something called a Super Bowl Party. He said no dogs allowed.

Well I doled the usual punishment… wee-wee on the carpet… sort the garbage all over the kitchen floor… nibble on the coffee table. But, he hadn’t returned yet.

And I was bored… Suddenly I remembered that he left his computer on! So, I started surfing the net. And I found this cool bed online. Take a look:

http://www.precious-pets-paradise.com/p-BIJOU-DESIGNER-PET-BED.html

Well I know his paypal password & ordered it! Woo-hoo for ME!

I don’t see how he could be mad at me… after all he is always posting here about being a 2%er & taking action. How sitting around doing nothing will get you no where. You need to take the bull by the horns, and make it happen.

That’s exactly what I did! I’m a 2%er!

How about you? Are you ready to take some action?

James Brausch gives some great advice about becoming a 2%er at this blog post titled 4 Ways To Become Part Of The 2%. I like that part where he says you need to set a routine and stick to it… eventually it will become second nature.

Take me for example… Every time Keith leaves me alone I have a routine that I go through. I take action, and at first it wasn’t easy. Because sometimes I would decide to take a little nap before I did my routine. And what would happen is Keith would return before I woke up!

Well one day I decided to buckle down and do my routine before I took my nap. I used the nap as a reward for getting my tasks done. And it worked!

Now, I can wee-wee on the carpet, sort through the trash and nibble on the coffee table in under 20 minutes. That means more time for napping!

You can also become fast and efficient at your tasks with enough practice…

Make your plan and join us 2%er today!

Oops, I hear the car pulling into the driveway… gotta go!

See ya next time,

Gypsy
