My stupid husband

[David Candy]

You know that beheading video is fake (though the right people). He was already dead.

I refer my sister and her husband to my mom for "how do I" questions.

Hey now... That's not quite fair. We got the computer
for my home-based business, to bring in a little extra
money.. Not to download beheading videos from foriegn
websites or to download "other" stuff (I won't go into
details but you silly husbands know what I am talking
about.) The rub is that I explained in detail what would
be safe & what would be risky. He just opted to ignore
all that "technical talk".. It should be a lesson that
sometimes wives have something useful to share.. Even if
it is just 'sometimes'...

Actually, you should be running SpyBot Search and Destroy
www.safer-networking.org
(mirror at www.majorgeeks.com click the spyware tools link)
Then use the immunize features to the fullest.
Also, Ad-Aware from www.lavasoftusa.com and set your
anti-virus program to actively scan all downloaded files.
Since you are the administrator on your computer, set a
password on your account and give your husband a limited
account.

| thankfully, no marriage counseling necessary!

You tell 'em!

But you just wasted you time with the "techical talk." It's like trying
to get a guy to read the effin' manual, or ask for directions when lost.
Totally futile!

Since it's your business computer, set him up with a limited account, so
that he can do less damage next time.

It when they download the "beheading" and the "other" that wifes should get worried. And if the cat goes missing - run NOW.

Of course an apology is too above your right?

 

[Guest]

Ahh, yes. Everyone kept saying the beheading was fake.
So he had to see for himself. He clicked & clicked every
which place until he saw something. He said "don't worry
honey, it was a safe website." "Really, how do you
know?" "They said so on the site." Well I sure feel
reassured!!

Apologize for humor?
I think she was not offended.

The woman's magazine No Idea (or is it New Idea) has a mere male column where people write in with stories like this. My grandmother used to babysit me 35 years ago is how I know this.

 

[David Candy]

It's what a rapist would say. Some find the humour ...

 

[Guest]

Not offended... Enjoyed the unexpected humor on an
otherwise dry topic. You guys are a hoot!
I've shared these posts with my husband- he knows he
screwed up! Actually, I put "stupid husband" as my
subject line to differentiate myself from the million
other lines of questions that started off "help me!"
Clearly, it worked..

 

[Jim Macklin]

Thanks
Best way to look for "stuff" is to look on Drudge Report for
clean links. And scan everything.

Well, it was poor humor, whether or not she she liked it or not. The fact
that you didn't use a smiley, or the like after the comment makes it look
worse than you think. You can tell it bothered most others than just the OP.
Even Kelly made a disappointed sounding comment about it, and she typically
has a great sense of humor!

You still should apologize regardless if she didn't mind. Your male ego is
shining through otherwise!

 

[Jim Macklin]

I am male, I have an ego, she got a kick out of it, I really
hate the smiley, whether an icon or just text read sideways.

You must be very up-tight worrying about your feminine side.

Well, I never! Hmmmfff!

It's just another way of saying "she asked for it." Or "I thought she meant
'yes.'"

You must be comfortable acting like a nazi! Why don't you
donate yourself to the war effort that winds up killing
innocents your political kind love to kill!

It reminds me of a case study in some counselling textbook.

After 30 or 40 years of marriage this tired woman turned up for counselling. Her husband had spent the last <however many decades> years waking her up evey two hours for a pump. She was very tired. It had a happy ending - they negotiated spme times and stayed married.

This case study has alway stuck with me.

Make sure not to logon with administrative privileges. Make your user
accounts of "Limited user" type. Make sure your system disk is formatted
with NTFS file system. Then any malware won't be able to install itself,
even if run. You may also want to run untrusted programs as "restricted"
user (Shift+Right click, Run As).
