Anyone want to place any bets on when the missus starts to cut down on the Amiga hobby? ;)

Just kidding!! I hope things go well, and congrats on taking the plunge.

Congrats and hope it works out for you!

Tunisia? The place where that large meteor supposedly took out the rest of the wooly mammoths?  lol

LOL, that's why I'm buying as much technology as I can now - cameras, Amigas, Hi-fi gear and so on - because if I get married in a few years, that'll be the end of that ;)

Congratulations JJ, may you have many, many years of bliss!

Or, if you pick the right girl like I did, you don't have those issues at all!

Congrats and best wishes!

NOPE
As stated above... If you pick the right girl none of that nonsense is required...  
(Of course it DID take me more than one try to get it right, but I refuse to provide any details on previous choices so DON'T ASK!  LOL... )

One would hope :)

Anyway, congrats on the marriage!

On a serious note, prenuptial agreements often protect people other than the spouses and assets other than those directly belonging to the spouses. Complex stuff.

Back to silliness. My wife already laments the time and resources I waste on "Amiga-ey" things. So, good luck with that! ;-)

What? Let your wife or girlfriend tell you not to buy toys? Haven't you guys ever heard of the hush account? Works with paypal too.
 
ALSO
Learn to say "I got that in trade for parts"  Once I told my girlfriend I traded some flux capacitors for an amiga 500. She didn't even blink.
She knows I have piles of electronic parts in boxes, and she dosn't know
a memory chip from a flux capacitor. I win. Just make sure if you say that
she dosn't watch back to the future anytime soon. Some day, I have a feeling with her elephant memory, I may have to explain myself.

Congratulations dude! At 33, I'm 33 myself, it get's harder to get someone you really like, at least from my experience, the best ones are already taken.

Absolutely true. By late 30's, most people (especially women) have soooooo much baggage, almost makes you wanna skip the whole dating scene entirely and live happily & blissfully alone, dating on the rare occasion when you want some unnecessary drama in your life. If I wasn't with the gal I'm with now, that's the road I'd certainly be taking. Especially living where I do here in WI (yuck). Flipside to that common scenario... there are still a handful of decent women out there that are getting up in years. Women that never took crap from loser guys in the first place and have their heads on straight. Can't say I know any though. I'm just giving the benefit of the doubt, being the idealist I am.  :laughing:

LOL, in fairness she's not really like that. I reckon I'm just trying to justify spending all my money on stuff I want rather than saving it for the future :)

She's quite happy with my set of 4 computer towers under the desk (along with 2 laptops and another couple of A1200s under the bed), and was totally understanding when I said I might spend €2000 on another one this year... Anyway, I let her have her two wardrobes full of ball gowns, suits and shoes, so she can't complain! :p

I knew about the meteor impacting yucatan peninsule in latin america. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicxulub_crater but tell me more about the relationship between the poor wooly mammoths and the meteor that impacted in Tunisia :-)
