Why Can't We Keep Love New Over Time

Hey World,

I have a question, why can't we keep love new over time?

I spark this question based on things that happen within my own relationship and in others.

I had a late night convo with a good friend of mine who's relationship is on the "brink of whatever she may say it is", and from our dialog I came up with the aforementioned question.

I have realized- both and in mine and in others relationships- that over time we decrease the passion we have for our significant other. Why is that?? It kind of reminds me when I bought my Xbox 360 a couple of years ago. I couldn't put it down when I first purchased it, but now I hardly ever play it. Is this how we portray our relationships over time? We gather excitement in the beginning, but as time runs its course we lose our thrill.

In certain aspects I see this happening in my own relationship ( I will not mention these things because I believe our issues could be improved upon and fixed). Having this conversation with my good friend who has been in a relationship just as long I have, we both see the comfort in our significant others. When I say comfort I mean the feeling that you have won the person over and no longer have to do the things you once did to steal their heart.

In my friends case, I am finding out that their significant other is getting bored and is "testing the waters" again (even though it has not been admitted), meanwhile having his cake and eating it too. My question is, "What causes this?" Is it that the person gets bored and decides to try something new while holding on to their current relationship just in case things with the new "blow up"?

The real issue is keeping the flame kindled. How do we do this? I have a solution. How about keeping up the same routine from when you first met. Guys, if your massaged her feet after a long day of standing in Victoria Secret's all day, continue to do it even if she changes jobs. Ladies, if you cooked a meal for him and ran his bath water for him, continue to do so. Don't stop!!!

So, I'm going to take my own advice and get my Wife some foot scrub and lotion and give her a good foot massage. Why? There is always another person ready to step in and do it for you. Let's try and keep Love new over time.

Signing off,

"the write error to a port occurred. printing is finished"

Hello Word,

This post is kind of contrary to my previous posts, but I decided to write about this because I could not find a solution for it on the net.

A client of mine (I am freelance Network Administrator) has a Muratec MFX-1430 Multifunction printer on his network.

Recently, one of the users on the network was unable to print to the printer, receiving the error message, "the write error to a port occurred. printing is finished". I searched all over the web (Muratec's web site had no documentation on it) and to no avail, I was unable to find a solution. So today I decided to call the manufacturer and see if they had any troubleshooting techniques for me to try. Below are a list of things you should try if this error occurs on your watch.

1. Ping the printer to verify the device is properly connected to the network
2. Check the port setting within the printer properties on each PC to make sure the port starts with "MX" and the description is "Muratec Network Port".
3. Reset the print spooler within the "Services" Microsoft Management Console. (This worked for me)
4. Make sure you can reach the Office Bridge service using the IP address associated with the printer from a web browser.

Hope this helps someone,
