at first I thought it was ok and then after a while he got to where he didn't want me seeing it, I think he was having an affair with Web. I only really ever got on here to see what he was spending so much time doing when I was working. Its crack I tell you crack!

Yes, crack indeed. crack indeed. heh heh heh.

Well, alright, I've got enough to run my story, I'm outta here! Scoop Riggs will return tomorrow with a brand new column!

G'nite all!

Well, I'll tell you. It made me a little nervous at first.

I was worried Sparky would change because he had you around to see what he said.

But it didn't take long to see that you guys have a lot of fun together and it wasn't going to change anything too drastically.

Really, the only change I've noticed is he has a curfew now

So if I weren't wanted here you'd tell me right?

I would hope that if I wasn't wanted by you guys not sparky someone would have told me.

ooh am I unique? I always thought I was too much like sparky. well at least personality wise, not body wise. He's a boy and all.

Hubby just doesn't get it. He has expressed that he doesn't want to get it. But he has laughed when I've told him a few things that we have talked about. The worst thing is when all I have to refer to you guys as is your forum names. He usually gives me a weird look. But I think that's the " oh you are talking about those forum people again" look. As some of you know I've been having a hard time with him lately when I'm on the computer. He's been getting an attitude. I believe that I know what part of the problem is and it's not personal towards you guys. Hubby doesn't trust these things because many people we know have done a hookup from the net. My sister is one of them although she will not admit it. She was still married and I believe having an online affair. I don't know if it was the same guy but I do know someone got her info and called her at home. And although I believe that he trusts me, he doesn't trust other people. And made it clear that he wouldn't put up with the calls at home and such. I'm making him sound bad and he's not. He's great! We just disagree on this area. And

Yeah, my husband knows that I can take care of myself and wouldn't put myself into a dangerous situation, so he doesn't worry about it. I talk about the forum just like I would talk about hanging out with friends.

I do see where he is coming from Woo, I know it was kind of in the back of Ally's mind before she joined the forum. After she joined and met everyone it was clear that yes we are just a bunch of dufus's.

That's cool Molly!

You're right about the dynamic. It's almost like a self-policing thing. We've managed to have great people here and the real idiots either don't join at all or they leave quickly after they do.

My wife either trusts me, or just doesn't care . . . I'm not sure which. She's never shown any concern in who I might be talking to.

I know she thinks I "waste" a lot of time here, but that is not related to the forum. If I spent that time collecting stamps, she would feel the same way about it.

I tell her some of the funny stuff and some of the sad things and she knows you guys are my friends now, so its not much different than if I'm telling her about someone here in town I know.

Back awhile ago when I was gettting frustrated with the direction things were going here, I was telling her everything that was going on and at that time, she couldn't understand why I wouldn't just turn it off.

She has no interest in computers after work. As long as she can go to Keith Urban's site now and then, she's happy. Other wise, she'll ask me to pull up weather radar or Google something for her and thats about her extent of computer use at home.

As far as listening, I put FFR through the home stereo a lot on Saturdays. As long as the mix is pretty "normal" she enjoys it. She has enjoyed listening to some of the special things like the "top 10" and some of those too.

you gonna buy me a stereo too?

Then you're probably sitting in your comfy recliner with your pocket PC requesting songs eh?

Quite the set up you have goin' there Web!

lol! sounds cool with me! i just have a boombox.
