How to install a husband and keep him running without error

March 18, 2010 by Megan · Leave a Comment 

Much to my horror, yesterday was the 30th anniversary of my first engagement. When did I get so old?! It was even more horrifying to find the below, very funny, husband joke in my inbox.

INSTALLING HUSBAND!!!

A woman writes to the IT Technical support Guy

Dear Tech Support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and I noticed a distinct slowdown in the overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewellery 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 NEWS 5.0, NO MONEY 3.0and FOOTBALL 4.1.

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,

Dear Madam,

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 downloadTears 6.2 and do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update.
If that application works as designed, Husband1.0should then automatically run the applications Jewellery 2.0 andFlowers 3.5..

However, remember, overuse of the above application can causeHusband 1.0 to default to Silence 2.5 orBeer 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 under any circumstances install Mother-In-Law 1.0(it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system 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 Good Looks 7.7.

Good Luck

Emotional Guidance Scale

March 14, 2010 by Megan · Leave a Comment 

Twelve months ago I posted mainly around self development. Nowadays I am posting on supervision and assuming a degree of self and professional development. However, it is most helpful to revisit strategies that have previously assisted. Here’s one of the most helpful self development reminders I have used:

Emotional Guidance

It is possible to change your emotional set point and to position yourself for quicker and positive life change. My years as a therapist support that many people do not have alternative feelings to reach toward though. Not only do some people have a constipated emotional vocabulary they also have no previous experience of positive feeling and have no idea where they fall on a scale of emotional guidance.

Are you intimate with your feelings? Where are you on the scale of emotional intelligence and guidance?

  1. Joy, knowledge, empowerment, freedom, love, appreciation
  2. Passion
  3. Enthusiasm, eagerness, happiness
  4. Positive expectation, belief
  5. Optimism
  6. Hopefulness
  7. Contentment
  8. Boredom
  9. Pessimism
  10. Frustration, irritation, impatience
  11. Overwhelment
  12. Disappointment
  13. Doubt
  14. Worry
  15. Blame
  16. Discouragement
  17. Anger
  18. Revenge
  19. Hatred, rage
  20. Jealousy
  21. Insecurity, guilt, unworthiness
  22. Fear, grief, depression, despair, powerlessness.

While these labels are merely words, it is the feelings associated with the words on the higher end of the scale that have the ability to change our lives for the better. When you consciously reach for a higher feeling, your immediate state of feeling is improved.

Having a sample of happy memories to recall helps to move the focus away when you become aware of a lower scale feeling. If you are feeling angry for example, consciously think of a time when….[insert own positive thought...]

Are you happy to stay as a bottom scale feeder or are you rising to the top of the world?

Fashion for brainy people

March 13, 2010 by Megan · Leave a Comment 

Brainy people by Lusi at Stock Exchange.

The health conscious are picky about what they eat. Most of us are picky about what we wear (look at how HUGE and influential the fashion industry is). Many people are picky about where they live, work, what they drive, what colour shoes goes with what colour dress.

How many people are picky about what they think?

Consistent research supports that thinking positively and living an hedonistic life (focusing on what brings you pleasure) is the quickest way to good health, mental stability, peaceful solutions and, yes, wealth.

Today I am carefully choosing what to dress my brain up in. I am thinking thoughts of wealth, health, longevity and peace.

What’s your brain wearing?

Bravery in shaking boots

March 7, 2010 by Megan · Leave a Comment 

I am brave. I do what I say I am going to do. I do not let inferior hurdles hold me back, and because I am short and have a short complex, I do not recognise big hurdles as being real. I like that in me. I am a go-geter.

I work 50 zillion hours too much and have had a very rough week….my personal emails haven’t been touched and my web site has been left to it’s own devises. Crawling into bed in the evening I am pretty much too tired to kiss the man lying beside me (damn, but I hope it’s been the same man each night!).

The old adage, “ask a busy person,” I asked of myself.

“What do you want to do, Megan Bayliss? What do you really want to be when you grow up.”

Damn, but I wish I wouldn’t answer back so quick!!!!!!! I have just enrolled in a Master of Arts (Writing). :)

Your mind can only entertain one thought at a time.

Make it a positive one and stay a positive person.

infinite possibilities, mike dooley
