[QUOTE=Angua] The SO is in fact a Doper, and we do do the whole “hey, have you seen this thread?” to each other, he finds he threads I’d be interested in and miss and I do likewise. Its rather nice. 😃 [/QUOTE] Ditto. My wife actually reads the Dope every bit as much as I do, although she isn’t nearly as prolific a poster (mainly because she believes the workplace is for _working_ – silly woman). But we definitely share thread links with one another, and are often amused when we run across a thread thinking, “Oh my God, he/she HAS to see this!” only to find out as we’re perusing it that the other has already posted within. It’s a good life. 😃 ---

It’s a good life. 😃 Aye, very much so. For example the other day, I saw the Cafe Society thread about the film Sunshine that the SO and I saw together some time ago. I read the thread thinking I should post my views on the film, only to find he’d already done it, and included all the comments I made to him at the time! 😃 ---

[QUOTE=Kyla] So you’re saying you _don’t_ want us to email the link to the SDMB to your bridezilla sister? [/QUOTE] Oh, god, no. She’s the one that I mostly vent about here. Heh, she’d never last around here anyway, though. She frequently gets facts very wrong, and doesn’t admit she’s wrong. She does like to argue, though. She’d drive all y’all crazy if she showed up here. ---

My husband’s not a Doper either - I don’t think he’s ever been to this board. Which is just as well, because his spelling is atrocious, he frequently agrees with Bill O’Reilly\*, and he likes to argue for the sake of arguing. He’d be banned in a week. [sub]\*He has many, many excellent qualities. Really.[/sub] ---

[QUOTE=The Chao Goes Mu] \she more or less sees the Dope as one of my geeky endeavors that she’d rather not get in to. I suppose it’s ok though since I can have this to myself but I often find myself uttering little Doperisms like “Penis Ensues” or “1920’s Style Deathray” and she just looks at me like I just told her I kissed Abe Vigoda’s eyebrows. \ [/QUOTE] Yup, that’s exactly it…and the eyebrow line made me hoot and wince simultaneously. I think I sprained something. 😃 My brain never brings ME souvenirs. In fact, it takes stuff I put into it previously and goes out and LOSES it. Stupid brain. ---

Hmmm. I’ve told my wife I visit a few boards, but she said she has no interest in it as long as I’m behaving (I try to tell her "With this face honey, nobody wants me anyway. Let’s face it: you’re Stuck with me). She has boards she visits re: Disney & cruises. I don’t check up on her, she doesn’t check up on me (that I know of). She’d draw a line in the sand over me meeting people in real life, so I’ve bowed out of Dopefests per se. As for family, her family wouldn’t care & my family, if they did care, wouldn’t be such asses to us (or might actually call us other than when they want something). ---

Heh. You know what my husband asked me night before last? If anybody on “the internet” ever tried to pick me up. I told him no, beyond some light-hearted flirting or compliments, nobody’d ever said anything inappropriate, 'cause everybody everywhere I go knows I’m disgustingly happily married. 😛 He liked that answer. ---
