Which is worse...
1) a wife who won't let you play because there're things to be done around the house or
2) a wife who won't let you play because there're things to be done around the house and she's also trying to get in time to play SE4G and constantly interrupts Spongebob Squarepants to ask questions such as "how come when I build a ship and send it somewhere it doesn't leave the planet it was built on?" "Did you try adding engines to it....dear?"

Thankfully the kids are not old enough to find SE4G interesting yet.

*LOL* I got it easy, when I am playing SE4, da girl is sitting next to me, playing GTA3 on the ps2, and she can handle herself, so I rarely get interuptions that arent...worthwhile *smiles*

LOL. My wife will never be interested in computers, and views them as something to be tolerated. And my computer use is something to be tolerated too. Fortunately she has many other redeeming traits, and I have alot of free time during the week when she is at work to play in.

About Wives:
Heads up, learn from the error of my ways.
Because of SE III, (and related issues) I no longer have a wife. I'm sure this won't happen to you, but just thought I'd mention it.

No ****ten, Gryphin??
DAMN... that's some impatience there, eh?
...Heh, it -was- coz of SE3, right? Not coz of some cute girl at the office?

*note to self* "If my girl stops liking ps2 games, I am left with no choice but to tie her down and convert her to this SE4 Cult *LOL*... be damned if I let that **** happen..."

Scary though Gryph.

Thanks Gryph... I figure as long as I help with other things around the house (like building a patio, putting down the laminate flooring, building a fireplace mantel, redoing the bathroom) I can play up the pity angle when my back hurts and get free reign one weekend a month.

Unfortunately i also have to contend with my seven-year-old who is addicted to Age of Empires. Maybe it's time to get a refurbished second PC?
