OH YS and myself are sat in the lounge, woodburner going well, christmas carols (Rutter) on CD player we are all chatting and each using our own laptops. Is this family life??

fowlbird Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 as long as you're speaking to each other via your laptops, I'd say it's family life OH and I were chatting to each other on facebook and were challenged by a friend who wanted to know if we were chatting while in the same room yes we were and we're well known for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 If I am eating something my OH will often text me from across the room asking if he can have some please. (its a tiny room) This is the special bond that develops after years together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fowlbird Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 If I am eating something my OH will often text me from across the room asking if he can have some please. (its a tiny room) This is the special bond that develops after years together years ago OH and I used to post on the talkboards of a national newspaper. There was one crusty old 'gentleman' who was as nasty as nasty can be and was always starting rows. Anyway, this particular evening he came looking for me because OH and another poster were 'baiting' him and he wanted me to tell OH to stop it. Not wanting to get involved I said I couldn't possibly because OH was 'the other side of the office'... those on the talkboards who were personal friends of ours were in stitches because they knew that the office was our box room - all 7x9 feet of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 It's definitely the new family life isn't it? You could be describing the scenario in my lounge right this minute! (Except that OH is anti PC so he is watching football whilst son and I are on laptops ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I am chatting to Devon & Cleo on MSN right now. I am saying 'go to bed' & they,for some reason, seem to be resisting The answer is I think to shut down the computer & therefore the wireless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dancing cloud Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 My sister in law reckons the only way to get through to my brother these days is by text I suggested a better way to get through may be by trading him in for a new improved model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
