My husband just came to the door Of our computer "shed", "Haven't you been here long enough"? "Are you coming in ?", he said. "I've only been here for an hour!" I said "wide opened eyed". Then saw the clock above my head And realized I'd lied. I cannot blame the internet Or Forums such as this. Although I feel I must stay here, For fear of what I'll miss. The air was thick with his distain. My guilt was even thicker. I know now that I'll have to learn To read and type much quicker. |

Oh, my goodness sakes alive! You should publish this one! Countless thousands of people just like us would relate to it! I had a good hearty laugh!  It's WELL written, with such a marvelous ending! (Boy am I lucky, to have a husband who sits in the same room, typing on his own computer, and if we go half the night, we're communing together in our own way - both happy!) |

This is great!! Time seems to fly by faster on here than anywhere else...guess 'cause we have so much fun!  Denise And slight is the sting of his trouble Whose winnings are less than his worth; For he who is honest is noble, Whatever his fortunes or birth.~~~Alice Cary, ~Nobility~ |

So glad you posted this, because Rosemary's comment only verifies that I should get another computer so my hubby cannot complain about "not getting to use it" himself... Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |
