Re: Geez! LUGNET is just too exciting! —Aaron West

(...) Sorry about your wife! Just the other day I got a Deep Freeze Defender from a auction on ebay (good price too, brand new!) and we put it together that night after putting the baby & toddler to bed. She has not built with Lego since she was 10! (...) (25 years ago, 9-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

Re: Geez! LUGNET is just too exciting! —Bryan Kinkel

(...) building, (...) I can't agree more. It is very nice to share your fun with your spouse. My wife and I like to sit down with a big Lego set and a bottle of wine. Makes for a relaxing evening... Bryan (25 years ago, 9-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

Re: Geez! LUGNET is just too exciting! —Lawrence Wilkes

(...) Actually, my wife is a bit more understanding, in fact she is one of my main lego set finders. She is always ringing me up from stores to say she has come across set number so and so, at a knockdown price (why else do you think I gave here (...) (25 years ago, 9-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) a (...) night (...) My girlfriend is understanding of my habit. She buys me sets that she knows I need, and lets me know if she sees sales, etc. I tried to get her to build one for herself so I let her build 7111 SW Droid Fighter. I figured it (...)

Re: Geez! LUGNET is just too exciting! —Richard Franks

(...) Ooops, maybe I shouldn't have bought my girlfriend an 8480 for her birthday! You think starting her off with the simpler, easier sets is a better idea? Hmmm.. have to think about this one :) Richard (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

Re: Geez! LUGNET is just too exciting! —Rachel Kingston

(...) one (...) nice, (...) Guys, as a woman, let me give you a fresh perspective on this (and I'm speaking from my own experiences, before I get any timmy's thrown at me by women who love star wars, etc. Actually I love the movies, the Star Wars (...) (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

Re: Geez! LUGNET is just too exciting! —Jeff Boen

(...) i concur (not as a woman!.. hehe)... my NLSO looks at my 8880, 8480, 8448, and my emerging blacktron I collection and just shakes her head... but i bought the flying ninja's fortress just cause she thought it looked so cool.. we built it (...) (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) a (...) the (...) let (...) You know, that is true. The first set my wife *noticed* was the Ninja's Fortress, when I got a second (how can anybody lay siege to the original model?) she was really impressed! I took it down and built a Hydronaut (...)

Re: Geez! LUGNET is just too exciting! —Lindsay Frederick Braun

(...) Unfortunately, my NLSO is imperturbable towards my affinity--as I said in another post, she considers it "the one really weird thing you do." I get a lot of smiles and nods and semi-phatic congratulations on exploits, bargain-finding, trades, (...) (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

Re: Geez! LUGNET is just too exciting! —Ben Vaughan

Have to agree there, my NLSO wife *really* enjoyed the islander/pirate kits I bought her. 8) She never really go into it as much as you did Rachel (for which my wallet is ever grateful, I'm bad enough!), but she seems to understand me a little (...) (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

Re: Geez! LUGNET is just too exciting! —James Brown

(...) My wife and I have a different problem: We're *both* into Castles. Sigh. This has its own unique accumulation of side effects... ;) James (URL) (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

Re: Geez! LUGNET is just too exciting! —Richard Franks

(...) As an update, she loves it :) Although she will probably take about a month to finish it, as opposed to the 11-hour-stay-up-all-night stint that I might do! I had a spare 6278 (Enchanted Island), so I asked her if she wanted something (...) (25 years ago, 15-Jan-00, to lugnet.people)

Re: Geez! LUGNET is just too exciting! —James Simpson

(...) On Thanksgiving, I managed to get my wife absorbed in building a new skyscraper for my city-scape. It was actually fun. Usually I'm pretty hands-off about my designs, but we worked well together. At first, she seemed to think that she couldn't (...) (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)
