| Well, I'm not sure if this is comparable, but... My wife -it seems to me- operates under the feeling that she "allows" a lego collection to exist at all.

| James & All, (...) And the NLSO is always right! ; ) (...) Wow, that is an interesting event. I think when MichLTC was at GATS in January, I think I spilled a Coke or Pepsi or something in my 3033 bin of green bricks, because some of them were (...) (23 years ago, 15-Feb-02, to lugnet.general)

| (...) I lucked out in this regard ... I met my wife while we were both studying abroad, so of course I was sans LEGO. Which means she had plenty of time to see me for the adorable and irresistable person I am *BEFORE* LEGO came into the picture (for (...) (23 years ago, 15-Feb-02, to lugnet.general)

I started out in the kitchen, rendering the kitchen table useless. As the collection grew I inserted an extra (...) (23 years ago, 15-Feb-02, to lugnet.general)
