What does your significant other think?

**cgutzmer** · 10-26-2006, 05:41 PM

What does your significant other think of you card modeling habits? You may choose more than one....

Of course my wife has always found me a bit odd - must be part of my charm or something

I was rather lucky to get away with 'You are a nerd'
People at work are a little less receptive!

Luckily I am a modelmaker by profession, so I work with a bunch of weirdos, some of whom are my best mates. Some of course, are so weird even I think they are odd, but that is another thread....

My wife always says I don't drink the money away, I don't golf the money away, and I don't womanise the money away, and I don't gamble the money away, so be thankful for small mercies.

Odd? No. Boring, maybe......

My father and maternal grandfather are/were modelmakers, so maybe it is genetic. Maybe it is US that are normal, and the non-modelmakers who are the weird ones. Or aliens.

Wibble.

The Adorable surprised me with, "Keeps you out of trouble," (hah!) with her first choice and "It's pretty cool," as her other. This shows you very well the dichotomy of married life.

BTW, Tim, over here in the Colonies it is my impression that you are perceived as perhaps the most notable GEEK in the entire world if you model anything. I'm moving to UK tomorrow BTW. It seems that you need to ride a Harley and despise working for a living to be cool at all. Of course, here in Rain Country, there are lot of people living the American Dream of a trailer park, no job and living on the dole.
