:D :D Yeah and I dont spend that long on here! If I forget to do anything, she always blames me arsing about on t'interweb!
"you spend more time talking to that lot than you do talking to me!"
Stock response: "I can spend more time in the pub if you'd prefer."
I used to have that problem. I solved it by selling the PC, buying a laptop, and then finding a reason to supply myself with another laptop from work.
End result? Me and SWMBO both have our own laptops, and can sit on our sofas (we have a sofa each) not speaking for hours at a time.
Bliss.

he's as bad as i am, so it's more a case of us fighting eachother for use of the PC!
Solution:
Laptop + wireless internet connection = surf anywhere in the house.
:D
She has here own forums that she chats on so it's very rare I get a look in on the pc! unless I get home from work b4 her:cool:
She reckons I don't 'chat' much anymore...:smt103 . She's normally busy plucking something anyway..:D . If she reads this I'll probably be :smt051 .
But really? I think I'm right in saying that she think's it's a little bit odd doing this forum thingy...she doesn't really rate it at all but then when it comes down to things of this nature, they are really low on her list of priorities...for example...mobile phone? Not bovvered...had one for a while - used it about thrice ish...
I managed to show her t'internet about 18 months ago - she likes Ebay, and will LOOK at other forums for info such as holidays, reviews etc. But a 'cybersocialising' thing? Nah...it's not for her...yet.

this is what i get but i say "i can spend more time in the garage if you'd prefer"
do i stop her watching emerdale? NO
do i stop her watching corrie? NO
I sit upstairs and she sits down stairs, brings me a coffee every now and again and just tuts:smt019

In that case mate, whenever you fancy a coffee, offer her one as you're passing (if you have to pass her to get to the kitchen - or take a minor detour).
Make yourself & her a coffee, put hers down infront of her, tut, and come back to us lot on the org :)
That way, she'll feel like you care (offering the coffee) but might also see your point.
If folks don't have different interests, a relationship can get very dull very quick. Despite what lovey dovey couples will tell you, there is such a thing as too much time together!

mines not bothered about what im doing on the pc, forums, surfing ebay whatever, its just the fact that im on it that grinds, and the fact that when she shouts up i say ill be down in a minute, which turns into an hour...........

:lol: Yup, I get that too.
Usually it happens when I've got my head stuck into a piece of code that I'm working on "There in a minute!"
Two hours 30 later, "Your dinner's gone cold, how long does a minute last on your planet again?"
The worst thing by far though is trying to have a conversation with me about anything when I'm trying to focus on a problem. For some reason, I always get accused of not listening....
I am the 'Her indoors', and I'm on here more than Pete.:D
But our pc is in the living room, next to the sofa, so we are both there anyway, looking at the threads and deciding which of us will post on them:D
Usually it's me, as he's watching something on telly at the same time.

i was thinking about a laptop or moving the pc downstairs but i like my little space in the spare room. i think she just has to go on at me about something or other.

Sounds like a familiar story.
I would say "they all do that sir," but I wont, I'll only get shouted at by the female contingent if I did that!

I have the PC at the back end of our lounge-diner. The Mrs can be watching the box or chatting on the phone and I can be on the PC.
However, she is tanding to use it as much as me now, so I sit at the table with my lap top.
Meanwhile, "boy" is upstairs playing WoW on his own broadband conection. Either that or he's doing collage stuff the other PC he has up there.... (At least I think it's college stuff) ;)

Nope! Maria (miss alpinestarhero) reads the forums with me, and even joined herself :cool: but she feels like it was a pointless thing to do, since she claims she knows nothing about bikes and dosnt know how to ride
She's still a biker chick in my eyes :D

Been there, done that... Read the book & got the T-Shirt :!:
I stood up to her & told her "Shut up woman, I'd doing what I damn well choose..." Then I woke up :smt083
Consquently I currently don't have a bike & thus don't come on here as often as I once did :(

Mrs Spidey used to get really annoyed at me for spending so much time online with my other girlfriend, she who is The Org, as opposed to being with her.
I had to explain that we were sitting in the same room and she was watching TV programs that do nothing for me so what did she want me to do, sit still and be bored? Read a book? Basicaly anything else to occupy my time than be on the comp?
And she said "yeh" so i gently had to explain to her that she has a problem, not me. I'd understand if she was in bed waiting for me to join her or something but if i choose to browse the Org rather than watch crap on TV then thats all good.
She gets it now, but still has the occasional moan. Women, i think they just cant help it sometimes. :D
moaning - its what us women do best.

Mrs Wyrdness is sitting on the sofa reading me weird facts about flamingoes. Apparently they're pink from eating blue-green algae, not from eating shrimp as is commonly believed.
What no poll?
She thinks you're all a figment of my imagination and if you are real you're all weirdos. I told her I was going to invite you over in the summer for a barbie so she can make a more informed decision ;)
You're all GAY
According to her :rolleyes:
but what really annoys me is she calls it SUV.org - at least get rge right vehicle woman

"and that's about all i gotta say abooouutt thhaattt "
That'll only confirm her fears tho wont it? :D ...or no one will turn up and she'll have me committed. Well at least my 4 year old thinks I'm cool cause I know Spiderman :smt025
I can't add anything new.....my misses comes out with all the aforementioned statements hence why I've only got 100 odd posts.:rolleyes:
Although she watches endless soaps on tv and sits silently 15ft across from me in the lounge she states the arguement as only a woman can.
"If you didn't spend as much time on there I wouldn't watch as much TV":smt014
Yeah, yeah, yeah...........chicken and the egg>:smt064
It's a good job I love the wench........:makelurve:
just me and my kids live here. just have to fight daughter off to get on. she is on msn most of the time. her retort is what exactly do you have to talk about anyway, its not as if you know these people. she has a point I suppose

."
Maybe its programmed into them, because that is exactly what she says to me... my mrs that is not yours lol,
i dont know i just actually feel part of a community on here call it cheesy if you like but i really do,
take for example the annual meet up in June its my B-day that friday, do i spend it with people i dont know doing something i love? or do i stay at home with the family, i can imagine myself getting pretty messy that friday night though lol, but she doesnt want to go to the annual thing and i can imagine it would cheese her of to the max if i did go . . . AAAAGGGHHH! ! ! !
it would bring the whole "whats wrong with me" thing up . . .:smt089 :smt089 :smt089 :smt014 :smt014
Any idea for this one folks? as its all you lots fault ( yes ALL of your Faults ) lol,
People talk to me.. wooohoo.

My girl friend knows i love my bike and she wouldn't dare mentioning to me that i spend to much time on the Org and with my bike. I told her from the very beginning never to make me choose between her and my bike i said you might not like the answer you get.
My other half thinks it's nice that I have invisible friends who live in the box on the desk.
He has invisible friends too. However most of them live in his head!!!!
I usually come on if I'm on my own. I first came on the forum with sv questions. Never been on a chat forum before (could call me a virgin if you wish ;) ) Just kinda like the sound of you all, and the community feel of it. I mention the odd thing I have read, or commented on, but he not ar*ed what I do so long as we are happy.
