I select a category, e.g., “Book Titles” and then go through the alphabet, trying to find an example for each letter. One of my favourite categories is “Biblical Names”. Usually, finding any example for ‘Z’ – if you are unlucky enough to get that far – is difficult, but with Biblical Names you have struck lucky, for there is a plethora of names to choose from: Zadok, Zaphenath-paneah, Zebediah, Zebulun, Zechariah, Zelophehad, Zerah Zeresh, Zerubbabel, Zidon and then there is Zephaniah.

Subject: Installing a Husband

Dear This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

I recently upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in 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 Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as Poker Night 3.0 and Golf Clubs 4.1.

Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and HouseCleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. Please note that I have tried running Nag 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.

What can I do?

Regards,

Desperate Housewife of Northwood
