user001 Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 take the girlie instead the computer - i once sat down and played this one mmo for 1.5 years and by the time i got up, the girlie had already packed her things and slammed the door after she left :P (yes, there was some other things of course too, but it sure didnt help out to spend my time just playing :D ) There just always was another heckkie/raid/whatever behind the corner...

It's a all or nothing deal, hell the only reason im still together with here is because were married and we also have a daughter so it's worth that extra fight, but if we weren't married and/or did't have a daughter it would have been over quite a long time ago. you have to pick one or another the game or the girl, you have to chose back to joking ---------------------- gamp play or sex.. pick 1 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraphicsGuy Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 I think I'm tipping over the edge. Time for a vacation (I wish!) :'( Last night I dreamed about installing a contrib in my store. That was ok, but then it evolved into a nightmare about trying to comply with the new requirements of the credit card companies taking effect next month. :( You know you're losing it when your dreams turn to stuff like this. Rule #1: Without exception, backup your database and files before making any changes to your files or database. Rule #2: Make sure there are no exceptions to Rule #1.

♥14steve14 Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 You think you have got troubles 18 months ago, I upgraded to Girlfriend 1.0 from DrinkingMates 4.2, which I had used for years without any trouble. However, there are apparently conflicts between these two products and the only solution was to try and run Girlfriend 1.0 with the sound turned off. To make matters worse, Girlfriend 1.0 is incompatible with several other applications, such as LadsNightOut 3.1, Football 4.5, and Playboy 6.9. Successive versions of GirlFriend proved no better. I tried a shareware program, Slapper 2.1, but it had many bugs and left a virus in my system, forcing me to shut down completely for several weeks. Eventually, I tried to run GirlFriend 1.2 and Girlfriend 1.0 at the same time, only to discover that when these two systems detected each other and they caused severe damage to my hardware. I eventually upgraded to Fianc?e 1.0, only to discover that this product soon had to be upgraded further to Wife 1.0. While Wife 1.0 tends to use up all my available resources, it does come bundled with FreeSexPlus and Cleanhouse2003. Shortly after this upgrade, however, I found that Wife 1.0 could be very unstable and costly to run. Any mistakes I made were automatically stored in Wife 1.0's memory and couldnot be deleted. They then resurfaced months later when I had forgotten about them. Wife 1.0 also has an automatic Diary, Explorer and E-mail filter, and can, without warning, launch TurboStrop and Whinge. These latter products have no Help files, and I have to try to guess what the problem is. Additional problems are that Wife 1.0 needs updating regularly,requiring ShoeShop Browser for new attachments and Hairstyle Express which needs to be reinstalled every other week. Wife 1.0 also spawns unwelcome child processes that drain my resources. These conflicted with some of the new games I wanted to try out, warning me that they are an illegal operation. Also, when Wife 1.0 attaches itself to my Audi TT hard drive, it often crashes. Wife 1.0 also comes with an irritating pop-up called Mother-In-Law, which can't be turned off. Recently I've been tempted to install Mistress 2004, but there could be problems. A friend of mine has alerted me to the fact that if Wife 1.0 detects Mistress 2004; it tends to delete all of your Money before uninstalling itself. Please help?

rommany Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 My partner said i love my computer more than her, i said i love the mouse more than her. Sorry i mean ex-partner. Anyway i dont see what all the fuss was about, i spend 18 hrs on the computer, sleep 5 hrs, eat,bath and brush my teeth that takes 50 mins and that leaves 10 wonderful mins for her. Just no pleasing some people. Did i say im single, any takers out there ? Have a nice day : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
