Installing Love:) - Anonymous

Customer: Let me see....I have PASTHURT.EXE, LOWESTEEM.EXE, GRUDGE.EXE, and RESENTMENT.COM running right now.

Customer Service Rep: No problem. LOVE will automatically erase PASTHURT.EXE from your current operating system. It may remain in your permanent memory, but it will no longer disrupt other programs. LOVE will eventually overwrite LOWESTEEM.EXE with a module of its own called HIGHESTEEM.EXE. However, you have to completely turn off GRUDGE.EXE and RESENTMENT.COM. Those programs prevent LOVE from being properly installed. Can you turn those off ma'am?

Customer: I don't know how to turn them off. Can you tell me how?

Customer Service Rep: My pleasure. Go to your Start menu and invoke FORGIVENESS.EXE. Do this as many times as necessary until GRUDGE.EXE and RESENTMENT.COM have been completely erased.

Customer: Okay, I'm done. LOVE has started installing itself automatically. Is that normal?

Customer Service Rep: Yes it is. You should receive a message that says it will reinstall for the life of your HEART. Do you see that message?

Customer: Yes I do. Is it completely installed?

Customer Service Rep: Yes, but remember that you have only the base program. You need to begin connecting to other HEARTS in order to get the upgrades.

Customer: Oops...I have an error message already. What should I do?

Customer Service Rep: What does the message say?

Customer: It says "ERROR 412 - PROGRAM NOT RUN ON INTERNAL COMPONENTS". What does that mean?

Customer Service Rep: Don't worry ma'am, that's a common problem. It means that the LOVE program is set up to run on external HEARTS but has not yet been run on your HEART. It is one of those complicated programming things, but in non-technical terms it means you have to "LOVE" your own machine before It can "LOVE"others.

Customer: So what should I do?

Customer Service Rep: Can you find the directory called "SELF-ACCEPTANCE"?

Customer: Yes, I have it.

Customer Service Rep: Excellent, you are getting good at this.

Customer: Thank you.

Customer Service Rep: You're welcome. Click on the following files and then copy them to the "MYHEART" directory: FORGIVESELF.DOC, SELFESTEEM.TXT, EALIZEWORTH.TXT, and GOODNESS.DOC. The system will overwrite any conflicting files and begin patching any faulty programming. Also, you need to delete SELFCRITIC.EXE from all directories, and then empty your recycle bin afterwards to make sure it is completely gone and never comes back.

Customer: Got it. Hey! My HEART is filling up with really neat files. SMILE.MPG is playing on my monitor right now and it shows that WARMTH.COM, PEACE.EXE, and CONTENTMENT.COM are copying themselves all over my HEART!

Customer Service Rep: Then LOVE is installed and running. You should be able to handle it from here. One more thing before I go...

Customer: Yes?


Customer Service Rep: LOVE is freeware. Be sure to give it and its various modules to everybody you meet. They will in turn share it with other people and they will return some really neat modules back to you.

Customer: I will. Thank you for your help.

Valentine's Day! :)

Hi guys. I don’t usually do this kind of cheesy crap but since it’s almost Valentine’s Day; I might as well go for it. Simply put; you wouldn’t expect me to write this (if ever you knew me :P). So here’s how it goes…

The most common thing that a guy or girl does on Valentine’s Day is either buy flowers or buy a gift for someone they see as special. A lot of people reading this are probably gonna do this. On the other hand, what exactly is the meaning of Valentine’s Day? Simply put: is it all about the effort, the chocolates or the flowers? Of course a lot of people have a lot of different meanings; but to me, it’s about seeing someone as perfect. It’s about looking at someone you know and then realizing the perfection under the imperfection. ( damn right =)) ). Love nowadays doesn’t work like that anymore. I know a lot of people (and I mean A LOT) that are just in it for the “pleasure”. Yeah I know, some would disagree but you gotta admit that I’m kinda right. Call me old fashioned and old school but the way I’m seeing couples of today; it brings me to the conclusion that “love” has changed ( A LOT L ). This Valentine’s Day why not try something different.  Yeah I know flowers and stuff like that are cool; but aside from all that, show your loved one just how much you appreciate his or her perfection :>. Call this cheesy crap, but nothing beats that. (IMO anyway). I just hate the fact that most people today, particularly young couples, see relationships as a sort of game.  Of course nobody would admit that they are like that. So for those in relationships, looking for relationships or just plain single; think about why you want or need to be in a relationship in the first place. I’ve had my fair share of that “so called love” seen nowadays which only led me to seeing that the old school meaning of it is inarguably the best.

So yup that’s my take on that special day called Valentine’s Day. People should really think about how they see their special someone because to me; being conservative, taking it slow and letting it roll on by itself is still the best (again, IMO =)) ). Well who am I to just barge into your love life, eh?  Oh and hi to that girl I like. Hope you have a great Valentine’s Day. :)

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY EVERYONE!:">

Valentine's Day Date

Here is an idea :) Instead of going out to a fancy restaurant for Valentine's, why not Make a romantic dinner at home together. If you both love to cook and experiment, try something new. Even if it doesn’t turn out you’ll have fun with the prep work. Put on a nice tablecloth, candles, and fire up some romantic music to round out the night.

Goodluck :) <3

Twenty Valentines by Marion Mallette Thornton

"Oh," said Millicent, watching the postman's blue coat up the street. "I wish he would come here day after tomorrow and bring me twenty valentines!"

"Will he, Mitty?" Jimmy-Boy asked eagerly.

Millicent shook her head. "'Course not, Jimmy-Boy. I know only six little girls; I couldn't get but six."

Aunt Sara was listening. She was Millicent's very prettiest auntie from the city, and she nearly always found a way to help.

"How would you like to send twenty valentines?" she asked.

Millicent laughed. "Why, auntie, I couldn't send but six, either. I don't know any more girls. Besides, I haven't any more valentines."

"Suppose I should show you how to make twenty valentines, and find twenty little girls to send them to; would you like, to do it?"

Millicent came running from the window with Jimmy-Boy close behind her.

"I'd love to, auntie! Please show me right away."

"Love to, auntie, right away," echoed Jimmy-Boy.

"You can help," Aunt Sara promised. "You can bring the mucilage while Millicent gets the scissors."

When they came back with these, Aunt Sara had a pile of gay pictures on the table, and some sheets of thick white paper.

"We will cut this into hearts," she said, "and you can cut out these birds and flowers and paste them on. Let's see which can make the neatest and prettiest ones."

Jimmy-Boy had to be helped a little in cutting out pictures, but he had learned to paste neatly at kindergarten, and his valentines were so pretty it was hard for Aunt Sara to choose between his and Millicent's.

It was such fun making them that Millicent almost forgot about the twenty little girls they were to go to.

"Who are they, auntie?" she asked when she remembered. "Where do they live?"

"Away down in the city," Aunt Sara explained. "Each one in a little white bed in a Children's Hospital. I don't know their names, but I'll send them to the superintendent, and they will get them safely on Valentine's Day. You can't think how happy they will be."

"Oh, I just like to try to think!" cried Millicent. "I'm glad we made them so nice."

The twenty valentines went off in their white envelopes the next morning.

On Valentine's Day the postman brought Milly six from the six little girls and two from Jimmy-Boy and Aunt Sara. They were lovely, and there were some for Jimmy-Boy, but they did not please the children nearly as much as a letter that came a week later.

It was from the hospital superintendent and said: "I wish you could have seen my dear little sick girls smile when they saw their pretty valentines. They looked at them all day and slept with them under their pillows at night. One tiny girl kept hers in her hand. They all send a big ‘Thank you’ to Millicent and Jimmy-Boy."

"Next year we'll begin sooner and make forty," Millicent decided; "it's lots more fun than getting them, isn't it, Jimmy-Boy?"
