Speaking from personal experience, do you have ANY idea how rare that is? ;-)
I do. I found one. She allows me to collect, but keeps me grounded in
reality sometimes. "No, you can't put anything more than 4 feet tall
into the living room".
If she starts getting edgy about it, you can
tell her to E-mail my own
lifemate, Dana (kathy(a)bluefeathertech.com). We've been married for six-plus
years now, so she knows very well what it means to be married to a budding
engineer.
We need to start a mailing list for the wives/husbands of collectors.
That way, they can find solace in others who may not be of the
collecting persuasion.
Congrats! May you have smooth sailing. Oh, and
NEVER forget your
anniversary date!
We got married on St. Patrick's Day. I didn't even realize that. Thing
is, I constantly forget when St. Patrick's Day is. :) So, when asked, I
just say "We got married on St. Patrick's Day". Saved me a couple of
times. :)
