A new anecdote from a Flight Simmer's wife

Featured Replies

Hey Gang!

Sorry, but I had to share this with ya'll.............about an hour ago, my wife walks into my office, where I have my flight sim gear setup, and she non-challantly tells me that I'm a masochist.  Upon asking her why she said that, she proceeded to tell me that for some unexplained reason, I like to play games that repeatedly call me a "retard".  JAAAAJAJAJAJAJJAJAJ  I almost fell out of my chair.

Have any of you simmers run into this before?

Cheers.

Sincerely,

Dennis D. Müllert

My wife is a special education teacher who never cared for that word. When I told her that the Airbus says it every time it lands, she wasn’t amused. Oh well, I tried.

Just going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱
Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!

My wife respects my flight sim obsession.  And when she wants to speak to me she always knocks before entering my office where my flightsim is located even though the door is open.  Likewise I always knock before entering her computer domain.  Of course we are both in our 80s and were brought up with a degree of courtesy that is not found too often these days.  (I just read the Ugly American post about the Spanish Steps).

The tires are worn.  The shocks are shot.  The steering is wobbly.  But the engine still runs fine.
