A letter to Tech Support "Upgrading Boyfriend"

Saw the below post in friend's friend's post. meaningful, so coppied it down as I just upgrade mine.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Dear Tech Support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend to Husband and noticed a distinct slowdown in overall system performance -- particularly in the flower and jewellery applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend.
In addition, Husband uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance and Personal Attention and then installed undesirable programs such as Super 14; Fishing; Football and Golf Clubs. Conversation no longer runs, and Housecleaning simply crashes the system.. I've tried running Nagging to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do?

Signed, Desperate .....................................................................

Dear Desperate,

First keep in mind, Boyfriend is an Entertainment Package, while Husband is an Operating System. Please enter the command: 'http: I Thought You Loved Me.html' and try to download Tears and don't forget to install the Guilt update.
If that application works as designed, Husband should then automatically run the applications Jewellery and Flowers. But remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband to default to Grumpy Silence, Happy Hour or Beer. Beer is a very bad program that will download the Snoring Loudly Beta.
Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-law (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources).Also, do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend program.. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband.
In summary, Husband is a great system, 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 Food and Hot Lingerie..

Good Luck, Tech Support

By Age 30

7 things I want to accomplish by age 30!!

1. Pay off my “stupid” car loan
   For people who have a good sense of finance will not tie up with a car loan more than 5 years, but I’ve a 7 years car loan which I borrowed back in March 2007. Nothing much I can do now as all the excess money I have already dumped into my house loan.
   
2. Pay off my house loan.
   Yeah~ this sounds great isn’t it?! Well, it is not easy, we have to pay at least a montly installment of RM3, 158.00 (annual installment of RM37, 896.00) bases on the assumption the interest rate remain 3.75% for the following 6 years.
   
3. Our first baby age 2 years old.
   Hehe, let say our wedding is not later than Feb, 2011, I might need at least 6 months to improve my health so that my body can take it when I conceive the first baby.
   For those that don’t know, I’ve a bad health record with high cholesterol rate, high urine acid and low white blood cell. And I have to be on diet so that I can be in perfect shape during my wedding day, so I don’t think so I can be healthy enough once after my wedding.
   
4. My monthly salary hits at least RM5k.
   Yes, for me and my family to have a better life, I must have monthly salary of RM5k by age 30. Only by that, I can have a second baby at age 32. Living standard in KL is too high and we have to cope with the inflation rate of at least 4.5% a year.
   
5. Maintaining my weight at 47kgs and have a clean health record.
   This is a must. I don’t want to look like an “aunty” by age 30. I just want to look more lady like and more charming. Yeah, I can do it. I also want to improve my health condition by doing more exercise and have a good daily routine practice (Go to bed at 11p.m. at wake up at 6.30a.m.).
   
6. Visited at least 5 countries.
   Travel is a good investment. We can learn about other people cultures and we can be more aware of what happening outside the countries. So far I’ve visited Hong Kong, China (which I consider both of them as 1 country), Singapore (which I only went to the Sing Lim square due to business purpose ~sigh~, I must visit there again) , my next destination will be Taiwan. What are the other 2 countries? Well, I think I should explore the Europe countries, so maybe London, err...ya...and also, Australia, which is my dear favorite spot.
   
7. Promoted to managerial level.
   By age 30, I’ll have 8 years working experience. It shouldn’t be hard for me to get at least an assistant manager title.
