I Love my husband.....

But sometimes I just want to throttle him!!
My husband has gotten into this habit of going to these "file sharing" sites that other graphic nerds hang out at and they trade graphics back and forth. Since we are in the graphic business he wants to be up to date with the latest and greatest fonts, images, whatever.
So(you know where this is going don't you), about a month ago he had downloaded some type of virus that took over his desktop. He took the desktop to his buddy that is an IT guy for the local college and we still don't have it back. So guess what, not having learned his lesson, he went to the same places with his laptop.
Yesterday afternoon he downloaded something that was supposed to be "free satellite TV on your PC". Well it had a phony virus program with it and it has just about killed the laptop.
This is a particularly nasty one too it is called VirusRemover2008. Y'all won't believe this, but the dang thing disabled parts of Windows.
I was up until 4AM this morning trying to kill it, I even took it to bed with me, so it could keep running while I slept. I have been at it all day long. I have managed to disable parts of the virus, but the computer still isn't "clean".
Yeah, I made him bring me chocolate chip cookies and salted cashews when he came home from work. I could really use some of the Dark Chocolate M & M 's though.
Somewhere a village is missing their idiot. I have him here, if they want him back-I guess they don't.(JUST KIDDING!)
Repeat to self-I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him.

Now I know who to turn to when I have issues. You. Not your husband.

You're repeating yourself; you may have a virus.

My brothers have done that several times now. Of course, they were looking for porn. So...count yourself lucky! lol

But I can't believe you only want to throttle him once in a while. I want to throttle mine about 3 times a week!

Hmmmm . . . sounds like you need to re-boot his commonsense program and install Listening to Your Wife 4.0. Let me know how the "looking at your mouth instead of your boobs when you are talking" patch works out. I'm still trying to get that one up and running over here.

I started laughing when I saw the title of this post because I knew a "but" was coming! I'm the same with my hubby. I love him to pieces BUT that whole "selective hearing" thing? Drive me nucking futs.
