General Chat

It's quite obvious that the reason we are all online so often is because we can communicate with like-minded people. If my husband and sons were interested in my family tree, we would all be downstairs in the lounge looking through my files & folders. Mel has taken me to a meet and knows some members. He shows interest if I find something unusual out - more interested if its his family, of course. My sons just say 'so you found out he died in 1872? Big deal - you knew he was dead anyway!' nell

Lynn - what does your hubby think now?? My hubby is ok really bless im - he's also got more or less soul charge of the remote. But l try not to spend so much time on here now and get on with my other hobbies, then l'm in the kitchen and can flit backwards and forwards from the lounge and the telly. l've been getting some emails recently about my surname,so this might get me interested again,in which case l'll be torn between the kitchen and the storeroom!!! jude sarf wales x just off now to see this Cluck Cluck!!!! lol

Only yesterday, my husband said he didn't think I realised how much time I spend on my PC (mainly GR)! My answer was that I DO realise how long I spend on it, I just find it more interesting than housework, TV, reading, playing computer games, doing word puzzles, gossipping, etc. I don't think HE realises how much time he's wasted over the years being glued to every single sports programme that comes onto the TV! He's not so bad now, but that's only because he can now walk around with a portable radio stuck on his belt and headphones stuckin his ears. It's often impossible to talk to him because he's 'away' on some sports pitch or other. CB >|<

jude, steve thought we were all fine, he did expect us to get out the note pads and swap notes. LOL. i am glad that the husbands turned up also, as they too got an insight as why we like this site so much. think i might be able to persuade steve into geneology more if i concentrate on his tree. did you get your wedding outfit jude? how did you find the shops? were they ok? lynnxx

Mary usually has the pc in the afternoons. My session is normally late at night and into the early hours. That way we don't get to squabble. I have heard that people with lots of friends, even pen friends, live longer than those with only relatives. Must compile some statistics and print them in my Snippets thread. len

sue, i put cluck on the gc board for you to see. pmsl. lynnxx

sue, the kid's left overs. she has left overs everyday. and the cat's don't get near, if they do she'll attack them. really enjoys her goumet meals. best fed chicken in britian. LOL lynnxx

mine winges but ironically he chats to people in america on yahoo and didnt see my complaint before, different for him!

My hubby sounds remarkably similar to CB's (maybe something to do with IT men?) lol! Over the years, mine must have watched every single sports programme on the television. However - I do have an easygoing hubby and, as I've been ill, he is just happy for me to have an interesting hobby and friends to talk to. He came to the SOG Fair with me and has been to two meets, so I can't complain! Mandy :)

Mostly my husband is OK with it....he is only just getting his around being able to talk to people from all over the world!!!! Jacquie xxxx

Lynn- mine's the same, in fact, the other week he put me on 2hrs only parental control limit, for about three days.(It's his computer). All he does is the garden (with my direction as he hasn't a clue) and sleeps in the chair - and he is supposed to be my toy boy, 7 years younger than me! He toddles up to bed around 10.30 -11 pm having been asleep in the chair snoring since about 9 ish and then wonders why I need to communicate with more interesting people. Ho hum!! Me, get a life?

Husband loves it - he has complete control of the family room TV! Solved the problem of sharing the computer - made the kids buy their own. Now we all have our own except hubby who doesn't need one as he has his TV! My daughter said 'who cares they're dead' hmmm....... When my sons friends come over I say 'well, I have to leave you now, I have to go and look for dead people' - leave him to explaine. Deb

good morning to you all my husband dosnt mind as i bought him his own pc,so we can both go on the net mine is downstairs and his is up ,so we dont get on each others nerves.as im always on the genes site and he thinks im daft.have anice day joyce from holland

At first mine was convinced I was having a fling on here.... Made him sit down and read some of the threads and now he is always asking how certain people are!! Bev x

My fiance doesnt think anything of it he completely understands!! He is a big movie person and spends hours on the movie websites talking to 'strangers' about movies he likes dislikes etc and the pros and cons and about different actors and actresses!! So he is just like me just with a different topic of conversation!! xx

yeah, I have the same problem, if there's something he wants to watch on the telly it's alright, but quite often , I get the 'are you still on that computer'. So I go and sit with him, and you've guessed it, he sits and watches telly lol

By the way, tell your hubby I haven't got an anorak neither lol
