Actually, Carla, the one I use is sweet and easy to use and puts up a good front against the hackers. It was Hammy's that was giving me jip. I soon got rid of that.:lips:

Hiya OM, its great to see you back. If you don't mind me being all analytical and kinda sciencey for a minute, I actually think its really interesting that we have you two here on FG again, as obviously you are having a very serious personal relationship in real life, and you are also both here with your FG persona's intact as well, (I know there are married or just very close couples here already, but its slightly different with you both, as you were also independent FGers before your personal lives blossomed as they did). I don't remember that happening since I was here on FG, it will be interesting to see how the dynamic evolves as time goes on. Don't mean to sound all "laboratory" about it, as of course its also a very real life situation, so no disrespect, but it is quite interesting.

Carla, my Mum used to watch TV, knit and read a book all at the same time. She used speed reading before the term was ever invented. I'd read the first paragraph and she was turning the page already. How did she do that? believe it or not, she told me she always had. She didn't realise she was doing it.:-4

Seriously though Gal...I told OM I would not stop flirting and being me and he says he will still be himself. It is what we both fell in love with so why should we change? I wouldn't want it any other way!


That is a wise view, its sad that many people seem to forget why they fell in love in the first place and try and change everything about their partner isn't it? I think its actually a really nice and fun thing that you both get to have this alternate cyber-relationship along with the real life one as well. OK, I will stop being analytical now, and I certainly would never think of you as a lab rat!!!:wah: . :-6

Don't worry, I give Hammie lots of boring sciencey moments. I know she loves it from the 'stunned' look on her face every time.

Oh, I know that look, I try to talk as little about quantum decay rates during candle-lit dinners as little as possible now, though I still can come across like professor frinklestein sometimes, oh well. :thinking:

Completely surrounded on all sides and from above. Though if you lived in Shrewsbury, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Wales separates you from the west coast.
