Well, I'm not in the same situation, but something close to it. The wife says that I spend WAY too much time on the computer. She's threatened to leave me if I don't spend more time with her. She always says that if she strapped a keyboard and monitor to her ass, then I would be more interested in her. Perhaps this is what happened in your situation John? Too much computer time?

If your wife is saying that.... I'd watch out, it could turn out to be true.

Well... Ok.

It's a simple case of lack of communication *and* being tested.

The lesson I learned is this:

Never, ever do a 3-way even if you're convinced it's ok and a good idea. And if you do, act like you didn't like it and couldn't care less. And failing those two things and you're tossed out of your own house don't go outside for 5 minutes to let them cool down - TAKE YOUR GEAR WITH YOU. 5 minutes is enough time to take out the display, a brand new Travelmate 8204 and a Cingular 8125 phone.

The display has been replaced (arrived yesterday). I didn't really like the Travelmate anyway so I replaced i with a MacBook Pro.

As for the relationship, eeehhh... We'll see.

Dude, we definatly need a story with this.

    • Why it's almost impossible to produce a smartphone in the United States

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

      Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
