Tess, not sure if that was a compliment or not.LOL And yes, I do check with the whole family, i.e. the few times English major DS and history major and southern belle g/f are around. How else did you think I could answer some of those obscure Yank and NC questions?LOL

Lumbele, it was a compliment to your integrity. You are very, very bright.

Hermi - ROTFLMAO! My bf didn't understand at first (especially after Hermi & I started sending things through snailmail) but he's come around... I really am only here during the day since I don't have a PC at home unless he brings his laptop home from work... hmmm... I wonder if he remembered to take that back with him this morning?!

Thanks, I thought perhaps you were paying tribute to all those wrong answers. I got those from DH, of course. On my way over to Trivia.

...so there's a Codger Trivia game that you'll be playing once Juju returns? Hmmmm....sounds like my cup of codger tea! Oh, and to stay within the scope of this thread, yes damn it...my dh gives me grief about playing on this board! When is he ever going to learn that I'll do whatever I please???

Codger Trivia when Juju is in town. Young folk trivia when she's road tripping. We've just started Trivial Pursuit Genus 6 today but when Juju gets back we'll return to Genus II. We've already done the original, Genus IV, V and part of the anniversary edition from 2002. Lumbele started the whole thing. Thanks, Lumbele!! I guess I never said answered the topic question. At first DH is the one who got me hooked up to the internet because I was recovering from major surgery and was in bed for several months. Then, when I wanted to join, he discouraged me. I held out for about 6 months and then finally decided to join despite his misgivings. He was supportive at first and then changed his mind. I got to the bottom of what was bothering him and once he saw that I would immediately drop the computer for anything he or our daughter needed, he was back to being supportive. He has to continue working every night after he gets home from the office so it helps him to have me occupied here. He's also seen that I haven't given up any of my outside pursuits at all so he's fine now. Really helps that he adores Eggie and Karuuuuuuuna, having met both in person.

Thank you all for posting about your TVCH adventures. I began this post because my children were upset because my phone was busy so much of the time. Since they are computer savy, they began questioning my online excursions. This came up several times so I told them about the Clubhouse. Doubt that they were actually surprised but they did caution me on giving out too much information online, etc. I have solved the phone being busy now. Signed up for Call Alert and that began today. It is great. Already received some calls and it works perfectly. Now they can't keep track of me so easily. Tee hee.

No, my husband doesn't mind. I do make sure I do my usual things first before coming online. Besides, my husband is online on his computer, too...LOL

We have a separate phone line for the computer so I have no problem with tying up this line!

My hubby and I seem to have such limited time alone now that the kids are older. They stay up later, but are not old enough to be gone from home. So once they are in bed and we have time to be with eachother, it is difficult to use that time for individual pursuits on the computer. One thing we did do was create a club online that we use together. It has helped make some of our computer time joint time. We also have seperate interests.TVCH is mine. He has his. We work out the balancing fairly well once we have spent time together. Many of you know, he came to my first tvch gathering. He really enjoyed himself and I was glad. Of late, he appears really interested in The Apprentise. HMMMMMMMMMMMM better not think he is honing in on my turf. LOL I am glad he gets it...for me its a gathering place with friends. My friends make me happy. He likes that!

I sure do Jmm! And speaking of your DH, I'm pretty sure I saw him at Disneyland last Saturday. I snapped this picture. Tell me if that wasn't our very our DraHeiD, the one who has all the answers to our computer questions and who helps us to stay sane here at the TVCH.....

My cat is just fine as long as I let her share the recliner with me But, I must admit, before I bot cable access, I got much flak from friends trying to call. Things are better now .. Now, I don't play trivia and if I ever do, I'll follow the rules, but can't I call my little cousin Google?? Snork!

You guys are too much! I asked my DH last night this question in order to answer as accurately as possible. It was kind of a funny conversation with my, "Now... you don't have to appease me or tell me what you THINK I want me to hear... just the truth" He told me to say hi for him. He was on here once last year during the period of time when we lost user accounts like 2 or 3 times in a month. He hasn't been able to log on since then and apparently gave up. (which frankly suits me just fine ) Anyway he wanted me to let all of you know that he really appreciates everyone here. He knows that I have some really good friends on here who help me out when I am down, let me rant when I am crazed, and celebrate with me when joys come my way. He is glad that you all are here. Says he doesn't feel like he has to worry about me so much! Funny... I always knew how much you guys all meant to me, but I guess I never realized how much you all do affect me. HE DOES!!! The only thing he said that kind of made me go hmmm was he wanted to know if there was going to be a Dallas/N Texas TVCH gathering. Is there a place that has them all posted???

easy- He does not know....(or realize) This is my little getaway. I have briefly mentioned it here and there when he asks where I get all my spoilers and lectures me on "why do you want to watch something if you already know the ending" but I don't think he realizes just how into it I am.
