Well?
Do you get the same look that I get, a mixture of suspicion, pity and disbelief?
Do you get the "killer question" ("So who's Slowpoke?" was the last one that floored me) and do you find yourself totally embarrassed explaining to your other half trying to explain exactly what goes on on here? And then the look.
Are you so embarrassed that you wait till he/she has gone out before logging on? Do you quickly minimize the screen as soon as the significant other comes into the room? Have you re-named the Runner's world web-site in your favourites so's Mr/Mrs doesnt "accidently" find out your sorry secret?
I'm quite lucky in a way that Mrs only gets to look if I'm daft enough to leave the PC whilst online. I know its only a matter of time before the whole pathetic charade is exposed and I'll be the laughing stock of all our friends. I can hear it now. Mrs will say "Come on chimp, tell all your mates what you get up to when I'm at the gym" Only she'll say "chimp" in a really sneering, sarcastic way.
Anyway, its only a matter of time. What am I going to tell her?? How am I going to explain the inexplicable, defend the indefensible?
I could use some help here guys. its keeping me awake at nights. Then I start thinking "wonder if benz is still up?"
Did I mention the look?
help!

I also get the looks and sneers.
She thinks were all extremely sad firstly for running but even more so for talking about it on a computer to complete strangers for hours!!!
Well it's simple; I tell mine to get out and run, but not in so many words.
She constantly moans that she's sick of looking at the back of my head, I tell her to go and live somewhere else and then she will not have to.
I'm sorry if I'm sounding like Bernard Manning but she's been like it ever since we got a PC.
Try and explain things to your work mates...
See ya !!
Don't slam the door!
OOOPS!
She's gone.
He can't call me sad or anything. After all, HE was the one who used his credit card details to get access to a porn site.
He likes my Forum nickname. The kids all like theirs too - the younger ones have been known to introduce their big sister to strangers as "Kevin the Teenager".
...yet when we first got the PC HE was the one who spent hours shooting germans or trying to blow up the world which seems to me infinately more sad. At least I am having good enriching dialogue...!!!
Maybe it helps that I use a lap top which is in the dining room - which is sort of walk in from the living room - much better than having to disappear into a box room upstairs.
<shook head slowly and ambled out the door>
meant in the nicest possible way of course..
If you need confirmation of any of these claims just check with Chimp (aka God knows what just now) or have a look at my picture when it gets past the RW censors.
