Why men don’t write advice columns..

August 30th, 2009

Dear Roger,

I hope you can help me. The other day, I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching the TV. I hadn’t driven more than a mile down the road when the engine conked out and the car shuddered to a halt. I walked back home to get my husband’s help. When I got home I couldn’t believe my eyes. He was in our bedroom with the neighbour’s daughter. I am 32, my husband is 34, and the neighbour’s daughter is 22. We have been married for ten years. When I confronted him, he broke down and admitted that they had been having an affair for the past six months. I told him to stop or I would leave him. He was made redundant six months ago and he says he has been feeling increasingly depressed and worthless. I love him very much, but ever since I gave him the ultimatum he has become increasingly distant. He won’t go to counselling and I’m afraid I can’t get through to him anymore. Can you please help? Sincerely, Sheila

Dear Sheila: A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a variety of faults with the engine. Start by checking that there is no debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the vacuum pipes and hoses on the intake manifold and also check all grounding wires. If none of these approaches solves the problem, it could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the injectors. I hope this helps, Roger

Don’t you just love it? I had a serious corruption on another of my domains and had to do an export-new install-import all within 2 minutes! I’m also trying to rip and transfer about a dozen Cd’s at the same time. Why the rush? I don’t know exactly, I guess because it is getting a little late and I do want to go bed.

I weighed myself today and ,to my horror, discovered that I have lost another 6lbs from last week. I have no idea as to why I’ve started losing weight so quickly, but that has brought my total for the past month to 16lbs.. Not good. A few months back I did start cutting back and not snacking after 6pm , but that was it. I got into the habit of just drinking juices in the evening and then eating a regular normal daytime routine-breakfast, lunch ,dinner, fruity snacks the odd treat in between. But for the past month it has been just dropping off me. In total -from say June I have dropped nearly three stone-which is around 42lbs or I think about 18 kilos ? Not good that, especially when I don’t know why I am dropping so much. Scary. I don’t suit being too thin, so I hope it stops soon. I think I should ask my doctor just in-case even though he might actually laugh at me.

okay ,so enough rambles – the last Cd have just ripped and I’m going to start the sync and head off to bed.

Sell out to the man

August 25th, 2009

I just reserved an Opp with a paid blogging thingy, but after reading the description properly I decided not to follow through with it purely because I don’t agree with the ‘business’ . It was a site that ‘sold’ World of WarCraft gold.

Not only is it illegal to do that but damn what is the point? I don’t play WoW or any other MMO for that matter – but doesn’t it take fun out of it ? Yeah, I know it can takes weeks,months to work on the leveling but still -it’s cheating -so what is the point ?

Those ‘companies’ run little sweatshop type industries that go about hiring people that will work for pittance, who are so addicted to the game to work tediously to farm gold that the ‘businessmen’ sell on. Your account will also be banned when you are discovered.

I really wish that these paid blogging peeps would actually read these opps before they are released. Paid blogging is a sell-out as it is, and yes ,I do throw the odd one in if the price is right but honestly even a bottom feeding blog like Psychosis has standards!
