5 years ago, I got myself into a 2-year liability in the hope of building a better relationship with my sister. I thought helping to get her friend a line for her birthday would portray me as a good sister, supportive of her ideas in a birthday present for a friend. I thought I would be the 'cool' sister and maybe we would become closer and she'd open up more. I thought "It wouldn't be difficult to get the girl to pay for her bills anyway. They are good friends and classmates." And I know my good friends would never allow me to bear their debts.
I was so wrong.
A few months down the road, I began to get late payment bills, hounding me to pay for what I did not even use. Not only did I not get closer to my sister, I quarrelled with her when I found out that it wasn’t even her good friend I was getting into trouble for. It was just a classmate and she was just 'trying to help her other friends' when she asked me the favour. She didn’t even expect me to agree.
Anyway, the bills got paid eventually, and the line got cut. I was relieved that it was all finally over. UNTIL NOW…
I can't believe I just received a bill for an account that has been cancelled at least 2 years ago! I have NOT heard for this particular telecoms company in the past 2 years and suddenly I owe them money?? COME ON. Give me a break and tell me it’s over. I am POSITIVE that all liabilities had been paid of coz I haven't even heard from them for the past 2 years! Does this mean that all cell holders need to keep a copy of all their bills and proof-of-payment for 2-3 years past payment date to convince themselves and the telecoms company that they have paid their bills?
This is incredulous.
The consequences of teenage stupidity resonates till now...
and NO, I'm not blaming my sis. I was supposed to be the mature one, making the right decisions, so it ain't her fault. I was just dumb.
I don't need this now.

Problem with Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0
Dear Tech Support:
Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0. I soon noticed that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources. In addition, Wife 1.0 installed itself into all other programs and now monitors all other system activity. Applications such as Poker Night 10.3, Football 5.0, Hunting and Fishing 7.5, and Racing 3.6 no longer run, crashing the system whenever selected.
I can't seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run my favorite applications. I'm thinking about going back to Girlfriend 7.0, but the uninstall doesn't work on Wife 1.0. Please help!
Thanks,
A Troubled User.

Dear Troubled User:
This is a very common problem that men complain about.
Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0, thinking that it is just a Utilities and Entertainment program. Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and is designed by its Creator to run EVERYTHING!!! It is also impossible to delete Wife 1.0 and to return to Girlfriend 7.0. It is impossible to uninstall, or purge the program files from the system once installed.
You cannot go back to Girlfriend 7.0 because Wife 1.0 is designed to not allow this. Look in your Wife 1.0 manual under Warnings-Alimony-Child Support. I recommend that you keep Wife1.0 and work on improving the situation. I suggest installing the background application "Yes Dear" to alleviate software augmentation.
The best course of action is to enter the command C:APOLOGIZE because ultimately you will have to give the APOLOGIZE command before the system will return to normal anyway.
Wife 1.0 is a great program, but it tends to be very high maintenance. Wife 1.0 comes with several support programs, such as Clean and Sweep 3.0, Cook It 1.5 and Do Bills 4.2.
However, be very careful how you use these programs. Improper use will cause the system to launch the program Nag Nag 9.5. Once this happens, the only! way to improve the performance of Wife 1.0 is to purchase additional software. I recommend Flowers 2.1 and Diamonds 5.0!
WARNING!!! DO NOT, under any circumstances, install Secretary With Short Skirt 3.3. This application is not supported by Wife 1.0 and will cause irreversible damage to the operating system.
Best of luck
