B. Goren. Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 She doesn't mind now that we have two computers networked so we can both surf at the same time. We just have to watch it to make sure we don't get on all day and ignore each other... ← You can PM each other.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost of miles Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 My wife likes to tease me about it and refers to "the Organissimos" (or is that "Organissimoes"?) and "your Organissimo buddies." Inevitably I see something here--a topic or a funny remark--that I pass along to her at dinner. She's also become a fan of the band, after hearing the first CD and the Christmas tunes, and is looking forward to THIS IS THE PLACE.

catesta Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 When I was married, my wife used to tolerate it, but I know deep down she never liked it. My current lady totally understands why I hang here, and encourages me to do so. I guess she is fine with spending less time with me.

Brad Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 My wife thinks that I (and my son) spend too much time on the web and has said recently that she'd like to chuck the computer. If she ever said it's the computer or her, well, I'd miss her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 As long as I get enough sleep she doesn't mind and appreciates the contacts and all. But she won't take the toilet seat up - nor do I as I do the housecleaning most of the time. You guys all wear gas masks when you pee?

Dennis_M Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 My wife thinks it's fine. At least I think she does. I'm sure she would prefer that I do this instead of something else. At least that's what I assume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEK Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 My wife really likes my hanging out here. She digs the music, she enjoys Organissimo's latest CD, and she appreciates the things I print out from these forums (usually articles from the Politics forum and articles about her favorite musicians). She's usually a very busy person. Otherwise, she might visit here too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheldonm Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Mine doesn't really care but she thinks it's freaky when I tell her I'm going to hang out with someone I met here (abductors are know to hang on jazz boards). I've seen shows with Chuck, EJP626, Jazzshrink, Larry Kart, Uncle Skid, Rachel, Ghost, Jazz Messenger; stayed at Sal's house several times, am meeting JazzKrow and David Gitin in Monterey next month, gone boating with JazzTropic and this kinda freaks her.......I think she thinks I'll be abducted by some Jazz stalker???? When I told her I was going boating with JazzTropic although I had never met him face to face; she just knew I would end up as fish food on the bottom of the ocean!

Uncle Skid Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 ... abducted by some Jazz stalker ... That really strikes me as funny for some reason... brings up a mental image a Kenny G fan being kidnapped and forced to listen to Albert Ayler or late Coltrane or something. My spouse used to think I was a bit crazy hanging out on line with a bunch of "jazz geeks". But after meeting and having dinner with Chuck and Ann (as well as Mr. and Mrs. Upright Bill, and catesta/Katrina), she sees that while were are all definitely jazz geeks, we aren't all that bad! It also gave her the opportunity to see that I'm not the only one buys tons of jazz CDs. The trick is to only hang out with board members who own *way* more CDs than I do!!

chuckyd4 Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 My girlfriend will ocassionally peek over my shoulder and then go "ooOOooo... Organissimo" in that kind of voice little kids make when they do the "chuck and the O, sittin in a tree..." Sometimes I'll be telling a story about something "one of my friends" told me, and she'll ask if it's one of my "internet friends." Doesn't bother her really at all, though. She usually thinks the stuff I mention to her is pretty funny, and knows it's good for me to have other folks to get into all kinds of geeky musical discussions with.
