Forum widows
My wife has threatened to start an FTE forum widows support group so she'll have someone to comiserate with 
She seems to think I spend too much time in here (is that even possible?). I've reminded her that there are much worse things I could be spending my time on, both online and off. I've also reminded her that this site has saved us several hundred dollars in needed repairs this year alone. Anyone elses wife not understand how nessesary and valuable this time is?

But as you explained to your wife at least it is a clean site that stays somewhat on topic, and you get to talk to a bunch of guys,and girls (cant forget Lisa, and Diane) that all share your same intrests.

I'm actually at my girls gymnastics practice typing this on my crackberry as my wife sits next to me shaking her head. I did show her the post though, she thought it was funny.

My wife ws pretty happy when I needed the PC to search for $.01 glow plugs the other day.....but somehow she gets a little crabby when I search fro DP-Tuners, In-Tank Fuel kits, HPX Crossovers, IDMs, PCMs, IC Boot Kits etc..etc..etc...you know the drill. I just tell her.....its a diesel thang. :-)

Tell her you could be out cheating on her with ______ or _____, at least she knows where you are, and what you're looking at. (unless you're sneaky and hide another tab of naked women or something)
