A recent phenomenon (starting with Mrs. JB, I think) has been for signficant others, wives even, to visit this place. How do you feel about that?
You left out "lurks" as an option. My wife does this. Hi honey!!!! I'm really working hard today, can't you tell?
I'm with Behad, she's a lurker at the moment. I think she will be signing up soon. ( We need more women on the board )
Samuri Jack, it was your wife's message in the Feedback Forum that inspired this poll. Yeah, I should have been more clear... LURKING = POSTING because it's the READING that is really the issue at hand! Remember LURKING = POSTING.
My significant other does post here. I'll admit, at first I wasn't sure if it would work out -- I mean, I need my private space, right? But he seems to have really taken a liking to it, and I think the BBS community has accepted him even though he's my spouse. Most importantly, we now can spend quality time making fun of other posters together.
Mine does rarely. She's resigned herself to the fact that she won't ever be able to change my Clutchcity.net habits, so she's decided to try and take them on as well! She doesn't post too much because of law school and a crappy computer, but that should change soon.
Sarcasm duly noted. Jeff was given priority because he was HERE FIRST not because I am a SEXIST PIG. Did I say that right? I'm NOT a sexist pig! You get that, right? Need proof? Notice I used "Signifcant Other" in the poll, not "wife" or "girlfriend." What a 21st century thinker I am...
Giddyup: Whoa there! I WAS NOT calling you a sexist pig. I was being silly. It's obvious by Jeff's 8,000+ posts he was here long before me. Since he is such a firmly entrenched member of this board, I thought it would be funny for me to approach it as if he was the interloper, not me. It had nothing, I repeat, NOTHING to do with any type of perceived sexism from you. I was simply poking fun at myself.
I got it. I thought is was funny. I also thought it was funny to say "whoa there" to someone named "giddyup".
Mrs. JB: I know you were kidding, but you were being sarcastic: "... I need my private space, right?" or "... he seems to have really taken a liking to it." (king of understatements) or "... we can now spend quality time making fun of other posters together." There is no misunderstanding. I was just jabbering back at you. See: "Did I say that right? I'm NOT a sexist pig! You get that, right?" or "What a 21st century thinker I am..."
I am so grateful she DOES NOT visit cc.net!! She knows I visit and fortunately does not mind. She does mind, when I chat on game nights though... sometimes.
My wife hates this board She always gets so mad at me whenever I am posting or reading it. Like last night, she is in bed calling me telling me to come to bed. I am like, shut up woman, I have to see if everyone else hates gettingbranded as much as me Women I just dont get them, seriously my wife does get annoyed when I spend more than 2 hours in a day on the bbs
I'm glad my girl does not come here. I would not be able to participate in those "hot girl" contests then.
I wonder if there is a correlation between significant-other-approval of the BBS and the post count of the members. Manny hasn't said anything yet, but, at his rate, I think he must either have a lurker as a girlfriend/wife or none at all.
My wife lurks too. I don't really care if she is on here or not. She usually thinks you guys are boring anyways... So it works out good for me.
