    From Tazs Wife again =)
    Yup I found its a challenge that I am mastering to getting him off the computer when I want .. (wait) no its not . I know exactly how to get him off the computer. Funny thing is when will it stop working LOL
    Were still honey mooners..
    Sooooo We'll see Tee Hee =)
    actully its kinda cute. I'll say goodbye and he's like "Where ya going" "Can I go to "
    and yes when its bed time I just say Im going to bed now if your not back here by the time im in bed im going right to sleep.
    And that usually gets him up and checking to make sure the door is locked and brushing his teeth and hoping into bed before me . LOL He knows I will fall asleep faster then he can say "Baby are you awake" LOL

    I have the luxury of the computer being in the bedroom.
    I'm only nagged to come down and watch EastEnders with her (Have you fellas in the states got this on your telly yet).
    Funny thing is I do the reverse when the Simpsons are on.
    I think that one day I will invest in a 20m coax cable and a TV card.

    I usually time my Computer time - because it can Disconnect you from the rest of the world
    (physical - Not Virtual).

    My girlfriend will come over and sit on my lap and just totally go limp. I have to struggle to keep her from falling on the floor. She will keep on doing this until I surrender and watch T.V. with her. This is better than her saying "You never pay attention to me" the last time she said that I let her fall on the floor. Needless to say I haven't ever done that again <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0"> .

    The way I know that my wife wants me off the computer is the apartment gets really, really quiet. Normally she will talk to me constantly, asking questions, telling me about her day, etc. But when she gets quiet I know that she's annoyed that I'm not appearing to listen to her. Either that or "the look" that Sandman was talking about.

    I don't have this problem. It's time for me to get off the computer about 3:30 or 4 ish every monday through friday. That is when I leave work. We are moving into a new house shortly and I want to sell my home PC, but the wife won't let me. She needs to check her e-mail. I personally never touch the thing. wierd, huh?

    Can't see the look, so that doesn't bother me at the computer. 'The Tone' on the other hand........

    Dead silence in the apartment or a gentle request for my daughter to go play downstairs is the deadliest hint that I've ever gotten. Is it the fact that I'm male that subtle 'hints' don't get processed as such.

    Me: Honey did you know your eye was twitching.
    Her: Did you know you're a moron?
    Me: What gave you that impression?
    Her: I got cold waiting in a towel

    Stress.... The uncontrollable urge to choke the living $417 out of someone who desperately needs it.

    Ignorance.... The inherent capacity to demand of someone else that which one is too lazy to learn/perform for one's self.

    User....An individual who, through immense proportions of ignorance, create stress.
