Over the moon

Spiraling downward healthwise, but at the same time the resulting lack of sanity filter makes for interesting discussions with my beloved:

lol someone posted in a thread with a graph of "dumb things to do" and eating at arby's was one of them. Now half the guild is talking about their 5 for $5 deals and how we are all going to get Arby's this weekend. Sound good for dinner? :)

MEEEEEEEEEAT. We just got some Arby's coupons yesterday too.

LOL that's going in the thread :P

MEEEEEEEEEAT or the part about the coupons? or both?

both :P I already made a coupon comment so it works well ;)

RU mockin mah kewp0nz?

ummm, do you need to see the doctor?

btw, my post quoted your MEEEAT comment and I finished with "My wife FTW!" hehe

Truth? I love that more than the notes he writes for me. It's not just the counterbalance to wife aggro, it's that he includes me in his WoW life. We always discuss and are aware of things going on in each others' online worlds which don't remotely intersect with or interest the other, but are involved in nonetheless without having to BE in it.

We are very much individuals *and* us. I worry about relationships that aren't and try to merge everyting into coupledom.

WoW - World of Warcraft??

I know what DAoC is but I'm not sure about this one.

That's correct, never mess with over eight and a half million geeks and their guilds ;)

Tell me about it! My son plays some of these (not sure which one he's into at the moment) and the ex was into them big time.

I thought the last sentence in your post was interesting. One thing I find as I get older (and with a partner who is now close to 66) is that the time we DO spend together is precious. Of course, I am gone at least 50 hours a week with my work and commute. I am really glad this guy is NOT into online games.

I savor our time together, but also our time alone. It's our balance dynamic that enriches us both as a couple and as parents. I don't see the difference between gaming, gardening, golfing, poker nights, and social networking be it online forums or a church club. All are fine with balance, all have potential for unhealthy addiction, and I've seen people go both ways with each example!
