Baphomet69 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 You know, all the 'find a certain type' kind of advice seems to come from those that have. I'm 45 and haven't found one like that yet... Thanks, though. I guess. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talae Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 My wife asked today when Bones 2 is going to arrive so she has an idea of when she will have to say goodbye to me for an extended amount of time while I catalog and maybe even paint minis. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Jack Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) I (mostly) solved the problem of not finishing up (hell, not starting, lol) my KS1 box by throwing almost half of them at Aard, lol. Well, okay, technically I handed them to her... (Also, the sci-fi guys and goblins went to some peeps on the forum, and a bunch of other stuff got farmed out to the two younger NEMPA members.) But pretty much everything I personally didn't need/wasn't fond of/was never going to paint got sent to good homes.

Doug Sundseth Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 You know, all the 'find a certain type' kind of advice seems to come from those that have. I'm 45 and haven't found one like that yet... Thanks, though. I guess. That's the real argument for "fail fast and try again". Probability of any one person being a good match is low, so you need enough attempts to raise the aggregate probability. (And I agree that advice that implies you should look only for gamers because you're a gamer or whatever is shortsighted.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarvenranger Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Yeah, I'm very blessed in that my fiance thinks all my hobbies are pretty cool. Shes not a gamer herself as she doesn't have the time, but as someone who's into anime she's somewhat curious about it. We met at church. We are very much alike in most things, although as a female she tends to be more worried about hygiene than I am Good luck finding someone 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to do one dorm activity a semester for theme housing... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttuckerman Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Well tomorrow I head to Dallas. Now where is this customs place? My lock pick and sneak skills need practice! (Two day conference and timing of flights means I will not get to Denton unless they are open late on Monday.) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laoke Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) My fiancée (and boy is it weird typing that for the first time) is an artist who enjoys painting with me, although she's not into the hobby persay - just likes spending time with me and finds any kind of non-critical art relaxing. I grabbed the Hill Giants specifically for her ; ) So yeah, it's certainly possible to mitigate any hobby expenses with your partner. In my experience it GREATLY helps to discuss it before purchase and ideally have a budget set aside for said hobbies.

Harrek Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 My wife is not a painter or gamer in any way. But she is a very avid cookie decorator and baker. She has FAR more sprinkles, sugars, and cookie cutters then I will ever have miniatures, paints, and tools. And she full well understands the joy of being creative and working to improve your art whatever that may be. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrek Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 And I'm trying to get her to make and decorate some Reaper themed cookies for ReaperCon. Not sure if she has anything like the Reaper logo. But perhaps some Sophies! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sundseth Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 My fiancée (and boy is it weird typing that for the first time).... Congratulations to you (and/or your lady ). May your lives together be long and filled with joy. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai-Mongar Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 My fiancée (and boy is it weird typing that for the first time) You'll only just be getting used to it and then BAM! You've got to start calling her wife instead. My wife encourages my hobby, if not my spending. Going to be cool dragging her along to ReaperCon, 'cause I essentially get double swag. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
