I may be overly sensitive but I think Spider John is wavering in his resolve to remain single. At least in a recent post he ended with:

"(Someone tell me why I'm single again?)"

So once again let us provide our support for a fellow member. This time we need to suggest rationale that Spider may anchor to. After all we would not want him to be caught in a web of a different kind.

Spider, please select from any of the following:

1. You like having a computer in your bedroom.
2. You don't want to share bandwidth into your home.
3. You are partial to your new car, digital camera, and 21 inch monitor.
4. You are waiting to meet someone who can run a hosting business all by her (or him) self.
5. You are waiting to meet someone with an Alabanza server that is only 10% full.
6. You actually like fast foods.

Maybe others will follow.

Gary
(Edit Note: Removed "7. You make way too much money to spend all by yourself." Wrong rationale. The married part of me took over.)

you forgot, cheap skate

That was truly unkind, cruel, and uncalled for, Gary.

Thank you!!!

I am afraid the choices I offered may reflecte my own domestication.

When I first got married I had a metal lathe in the bedroom. Gone.
I later (much later) put a computer in the bedroom. Gone.
I recently bought an $800 digital camera. I now have to ask my wife if I want to use it. I first noticed a shift in ownership when a friend wanted to borrow it and she wanted to know if it would be for overnight.
I had a large monitor. It is now on her desk.
My fastest computer is on her desk.
The modem is connected directly to her computer.
She has her own business, on-line and off.
She cooks the best food I have ever eaten.

So, it might appear that my post was more about me than Spider.

In addition:

For all her course work for her BS, MS, and PHD she had a 4.0.

She presented a paper at an international conference where the main speaker, from Britain, quoted her in his own presentation. Then during the meal he left the head table and joined her at her table.

She use to publish political cartoons in the paper.
She wrote a book.
She taught at the University.

Based upon all this she may very likely be smarter than me.
(except for engineering, she can't open a garage door)
(however now that I think about it she may be faking)

She gave up her career to be home with me as we grow older.

She says I owe her everything I have plus everything I will ever have plus $2.00. I was having a hard time coming up with the $2.00. Every time I thought I had it, it fell under the first category. So, the compassionate person she is, she forgave me the $2.00.

I would not have it any other way.

So, Spider, know your reasons well but be willing to do an about face.

Gee, was that a mood shift or what.

Wow. And I thought keeping goats there was, um, unusual...

I'm not even gonna ask what you used it for.

Projo.. You just spooked the the curiosity about the opposite sex out of me! I'm gonna stay away from them from today. I am gonna become a Buddhist Monk. Tibet, here I come..

Women are very dangerous, Kunal. On my grandfather's ***** *********, I swear to you, you are better off with the company of goats.

I believe this is one of the teachings of the Tibetan monks.

I would ge better of with the yetty of the himalayan mountains.

I must say it was a rather unusual surprise to find myself the topic of conversation when I woke up this morning. Anyway, the number one reason why I'm single is because I can't find a woman that looks good in multiple resolutions. It's a bugger when you meet a good 640x480 woman but she almost disappears at 1024x768.

hahahahhaha.... thats very true :)

Tooooo funny! I have to get in touch with some of you (expect email) :)

Does anyone know of a forum where you are not allowed to be funnier than the guy who starts a thread?

Gary

(edit note: I meant not allowed)

Everytime you try to talk to them you'd rather ICQ them, right? :)

etLux, you're a Genius! All I need to do is attach a Swedish penis enlarger to my CD ROM drive and inflate/deflate her according to my resolution!

No comment. Absolutely none. Not a word. Nope. It's really, really hard; but I'm not going to say anything. No sir. Uh-uh. Not me.

I would also like to offer...no comment to etLux's no comment, and raise anyone else who wants to play a strange game of discussion forum poker a no comment and a case of Molson Canadian.

And I stand by those words, too!
