Does your husband have any idea how much time you spend here
Just wondering...I know that mine knows I love stamping and SU, but he has no idea how much time I spend online enjoying hearing about all the rest of you who are as hooked as I am. So, does yours know? What does he think?
Yes, he knows. My DH has a home office (CPA) and my computer is in his office. I work with him part time. (Notice I did not say FOR him. LOL) So there's no hidding the fact that I love this site and how much time I spend here!

My thought on that is what he doesn't know won't hurt him.
He'll also never know that I pull out $$$ every paycheck and have it automatically deposited into my other account so I can feed my habit. As long as I'm a happy camper he usually doesn't mind. He spends his extra $$$ on recording studio equipment so I figure it's a fair trade.

My DH has his own business, so we work together in the office. And when he is not working he likes to go 4x4 , rock crawling an muddin with his buddies and they have their own webboards like we have here so he don't care. And the nice thing is that if I don't make dinner he will. I think I am spoiled. I just love this place, so many new friends ,so many stamps sets,so little time. Have a great day. Kerry
Does your husband have any idea about how much time u spend
No, but my boss better not find out. LOL I wiould have a hard time affording this hobby if I was unemployed. J/K My boss does not even work in the same bldg as I do, He is 20 miles away. I see him twice a month. Seriously, I do have a hard time telling my staff not to play on the net, when I am on here all the time.

Probably, I don't get to just "sit" here at the computer all day often with three children, but I leave it online all day long and check here off and on frequently on most days. Some days I can only read because I have other stuff happening, but it's pretty easy to check in a couple of times a day! But he is very supportive of me learning anything I can that will help me. And when I got a phone call yesterday from PJBstamper to check on us after the hurricane, he was touched about how much everyone here cares. So, as long as I don't let the children go unfed and things work around here, I think he doesn't mind how much time I am actually stamping vs. how much time I'm looking at posts

My husband knows, he's always saying "on that site again??!!" We have an agreement about the spending part, until he quits smoking, I can spend an equal amount of money on stamping. What a difficult situation for me!! I really want him to quit, but what a dent that would put in my addiction!!!

Yeah...my husband knows...he just shakes his head! But this is even better...I went to a tag sale at a stamp store near me this weekend and sold a TON of stuff I don't use anymore...then came home and opened the mini catalog and said "Oh! I definitely need THIS...and this...and this...!"
I believe his comment was..."you just SOLD a ton of stamps, now you want MORE???!" :lol:
Oh he knows. He wonders about my sanity (he heard me laughing so hard last night at the Olympic Team avatars), but thinks it's a lot healthier than a lot of other habits I could have!
As well....if he knew exactly how much I'd spent on stamps...well, I'd be single....me and my ancient dog would be on the road, looking for a home for us and my stamps! I'd probably relocate to Wisconsin!!

The other day I was "checking in" after dinner. My DH said, "Don't you have all day to be on here?" So why let him down?? :lol:
I told him he was jealous because he doesn't have a fun community to go and chat on! Then he acutally said he's glad I have this site to go to (he travels a lot, so he knows it's like being with friends), and doesn't think I'm too weird when I tell him something from "that stamping site I go to".
Yeah. But he spends even more time on Arcade sites. He refinished classic arcades and sells them. He spends lots of time looking at the original games to get the restoration perfect.
Luckily, we have DSL and can have 2 computers in the house on the net at the same time. Otherwise, we would be fighting!
No, my husband doesn't know EXACTLY how much time I spend here. (And no one better tell him )
He did like all those new recipes I was cooking after there was a thread about recipes. He said "Where did you get this one again??" Ahh, so many advantages to stamping....

Gotta chime in here that my DH definately doesn't have a clue. Although he has been wondering why I'm doing housework in the evening some days rather than during the day (like a non SCS-SAHM). I chalk it up to taking care of the kids. :oops:
My DH knows that I spend a lot of time here, but I am not sure that he knows just how much! At the same time, he encourages me to find ways to spend time with women -- between work and school in the past few years I haven't been out much besides scrapbooking and stamping at church a couple time a month and I tend to be a homebody -- so he encourages me to get involved with things like this where I can spend time with and get to know other women. On top of that, I am a new demo as of about two weeks ago, so he knows that this is "business" stuff too
He knows I'm on quite a bit because he hears me talking with my stamping friends about certain cards. Also, when we needed a new scanner (at least that's what he said) I was anxious for him to get it because I had never uploaded a card before and I wanted to try. I keep showing him my cards and cute cards I want to CASE. He humors me..and that's perfectly fine <g>
My husband has NO clue to how much time I spend on the computer (or how much I spend on stamping supplies!) If he found out much time I sit in this chair he would take the computer to work with him!!!! (and the checkbook!) YIKES!!!!!!!! :oops:
It's funny that this subject came up. My husband didn't know, because I usually have this site pulled up at work. I just can't get to the computer at home with the kids. But lately our conversations have been starting with "Today at SCS..." and so forth. Just yesterday he asked me if I get any work done or do I just stay on this site all day. I said "BOTH!"
