Hi!
My 13yr old told us he wanted to buy a cheap car and fix it up!

Mind you, this kid is kitchen challenged and can't spread PB on bread or knows how to boil water!!;)

So my husband and our friend who is a car guy decided a VW bug would be a great car.

They are researching together and will most likely bring one home soon. He's buying it with his own money.

My husband is thrilled because my son is a video game junkie and we feel like this will help him get off the computer and do more father/son activities.

Hope everyone has a good day!

Oh, we are going to see the Women's USA soccer team vs Brazil on Sunday!!
We are going with a couple of families on my daughters soccer team! I'm so excited!!
I like that kid.
I made my own motorcycle at the age of 10 because I couldn't afford one.
It was faster than anything that my friends owned.

It may have started because of your association with the Forum. You spend a lot of time on here. She may see that as a sort of online romance. Every so often try to get your wife to read something on here. Maybe something funny that Adam has written, so she can see you're not just corresponding with females, but with tortoise people.
I pointed out that she didn't flip out when other members came by.
(They were men)
I'm going to try to get her into the CDR so that she can see what it's all about.

I couldn't agree more.
I trust wifey implicitly.
She trusts me.
That's vital.


I totally and completely agree with you!

But maybe I could introduce a different viewpoint. I'm a wife and I honestly trust my husband. But I can get jealous. While I trust him, I'm not sure of the intentions of others....and that's the problem.
I'm sure if your wife joins in some discussions, she will see that all is good, but she's just showing her protective nature. I wouldn't get upset about that. Think of it as a compliment. If she didn't care, she wouldn't feel anything.

Not my wife, it's Ed's. My wifey is fine.
I understand your point about the intention of others. And I am flattered when people flirt with wifey or find her attractive, and enjoy it when people fancy me (it still occasionally happens) and flirt, be it a man or a woman. But because of our trust we know whatever the intention of others it will never go beyond the line.
I only get jealous when Tidgy goes to wifey and not to me.

Ahhh! I'm so sorry! I replied to the wrong post. Meant that for Ed.

Newbie mistake?

Hehe.
