This morning my wife said to me, "What are doing? , I said "checking out AP" she said "you mean your family".

Once I finished writing and reading about "my family" we had a little chat curious if she was pissed off, understanding and to my surprise she said you work hard and this is your down time and alot better than never home so enjoy within reason (can't ignore my little one etc).

How do you guys fair?

Ha Ha - my missus usually refers to AP as the 'cult' that I belong to, other times she just calls it  'Pinball Porn' :lol

she usually asks whats new on the forum so i read the posts out aloud for her to here the latest gosips or story's and if i see a really neat restoration thread i call her over so she can look at it.
if i have a problem with one of my pinball machines, she reminds me to post it up here to ask a question,
compared to waht i spent on a car forum in the past this is nothing so i dont get hassled to much.
only time i might get in trouble for being on AP form the missus is if im at work and i sneak off with her phone to quickly check any updates in between service, lol

My missus does not mind at all - which is strange, given I spend so much time on AP. But my "internet history" is basically AP, eBay, heraldsun and RGP. She is aware that I enjoy my time online, and that my entire "spare time" is spent on pinball. She also like "Farmville" and all that crap - so it is a compromise !

My wife says when I am working on pins I am spending time with my mistresses & when I am on AP I am talking about my mistresses.  :lol

My missus couldn't care one way or the other, she would not have even known about it if I didn't have a small meet. My missus doesn't do facebook or twitter or online games or any of that nonsense and enjoys a beer with me over a game of pinnie with the family.
Sweeeeeeet!
