how to lie to your girlfriend

Men do have to frame excuses, mostly because the other fairer sex expects an answer and you do not have one genuine reason in the pocket.

Situations that arise are too common for most men.

1. Being late and keeping her waiting for a long time

2. Forgetting to call her.

3. Forgetting to wish her on midnight of birthday

4. Talking bad or good about her friends.

Here is a small guide to save you from possibly getting slapped, when the above situations occur.

1. This one just happens, you are late sometimes. While normal excuses like a traffic jam or “i was in an important meeting” don’t go too well. Avoid them! Something else would fit better like - “i was in a long meeting with my mom, and i was talking good about you. I guess she is convinced now that you can be a part of our family”. When the girl is late, you have no freedom to ask her why. But why?

2. Forgetting to call her. - Do not accept that you forgot. It is a bad answer, really. “I was not well and i slept off” is a good answer. You can also use this, if you understand it can sell - “i tried to reach you , but i was not able to”.

3. Forgetting her birthday is a sin. Better keep a reminder. You are in deep shit, if you forget her birthday. i do not know why, but i always remember all of her friends’ birthdays and wish them too.

4. Talking about her friends can be dangerous. You got to lie something like “i feel you are the best girl in your group” and you know what follows “the most beautiful too..”. Generally never point a girl in her friends’ list as good or bad. She might be a rival or her best pal. In case you want to compliment, you can say “She is almost as good as you”.

spammers giving up? why risk? try gmail

Leave a comment or list your email in a post, and sure there is a robot that will pick up the email and you are sure to receive a lot of spam. Bill gates suggested that the spam problem should be over by 2006. Still, i do not sense the spam going down, in fact i still receive a lot of spam.

Gmail saw a new revolution promising lesser spam and it is quite true that the umber of spam mails seen by gmail users has come down a lot. Especially after repeated users reporting spam, over time.

The spam encountered by gmail users has certainly come down a lot.

hacking windows send to menu

We used a lot of pictures and we wanted to put them each as when we select them. I googled a bit and found a nice idea of using a windows basket for all files.

As and when you see a photo, just right click and send to the folder, where you need it. Not just pictures, you can actually do the same for all the files and folders in your file system.

Later did we learn that the customization required for this for basket in windows was quite easy and took less than a couple of minutes.

Here is the link to make your own basket in windows.

This will help you organise your files easier than before.

try new browsers - throw ie in to the bin

I hate Internet Explorer, but still i have it in my comp. Some programs by default assume i am running windows and open up IE, which if not present might hang the program.

Why dont you take a look at the alternate browsers you have?

I am not listing the most popular ones here - firefox and opera.

1. Safari - Yes, safari was introduced for windows as well last year and is the faster than the standard browsers. here is a review , which lists the pros and cons of safari browser.

2. SeaMonkey - this mozilla suite comes with a calendar and html editor, besides other apps. It is a old suite from the open source mozilla project. it is as good as firefox.
3. Flock - The social browser has links to social media websites and image hosting websites like flickr , photobucket and picassa. It is also from the open source mozilla project.

4. K-meleon - Also from the mozilla project, it is a light weight and very fast browser, that you can use to stream videos.

I understand firefox is the best, with its array of extensions and other features, but new browsers are also worth a try.
