In Reply to: Here's a poll question for you all: How many of you are maintaining a relationship with the opposite sex, and how does your mad MUD hours affect this relationship? (I'd like to see the IMM response on this one) NT posted by SumYunGi on August 22, 2000 at 19:28:00:
... with a beautiful two year-old son who is the highlight of my existence. Although I got into gardening this summer (the house we just moved into has a HUGE garden in the backyard, and it seems to be me job to weed it), I no longer have nearly as many on-line hobbies as I used to before the kid was born. Given that, and given that (like Twist) I do my part to keep the house running and the relationship going smoothly, my wife has few problems with me mudding. She's even learned some of the terminology; she knows what it means now when I get frustrated because I'm lagged, was quite excited on my behalf when my area opened, and even has some clue who the rest of the immortal staff is despite never having played the game -- or ever wanting to. I recall when I was first made an immortal, I explained to her that this meant that I could no longer be killed by people... she was happy, because that meant I wouldn't have to "find a good place to quit" when it was time for supper and/or other activities. :-) All told, I like my life.
