Title: Advice needed
Post by: eric on July 18, 2007, 21:21:24: I have been waiting for SS08 to arrive from Amazon with great anticipation. Now find that my wife (who is buying it for my birthday) has intercepted it and hidden it until my birthday on Sunday!! Is this grounds for divorce. Any ideas on how I can overcome the problem? >:( ::)

Or start ripping the house up...

Or best of all... Stomp around the hose, banging things, look at her with evil looks and when she asks 'what's up dear?' snap back 'nothing. why wold anything ever be wrong'... It works for them and they always get their own way.

Or maybe, hide her jewellery and shoes and say you will ransom them back...

LOL, remind me never to annoy you :P

Just a tip - Make sure she hasn't got your game in her pocket when she walks that plank ;)

I have a stepson working in the UK. He has purchased SS208 for me and will bring it to me when he comes over in October....Man, thats a lifetime away! Just hope an "Old Crone"...with limited computer ability can handle it when it arrives...LOL
