So, my wife has contracted a little stomach bug, so she is relaxing in her throne ( not THE throne that flushes ) and catching up on her Soaps. I moved my OGRE black lining operation to the dining room so I could be with in a few feet of here, should she need anything. I involved her in deciding which OGRES to black line first, which she appreciated, showed her the end results, etc. All is good in the world, save her being a little under the weather. But now I am more knowledgeable in Days of Our Lives than I ever thought I would be. Is this a singular occurrence? Has anyone else been in a similar situation? Just curious…. |

I've had to "take one for the team", wife had the flu. I have to say that I don't recommend catching the flu. And like you, paint and rules operations were moved closer to the front lines. |

My assembly and painting operation is in the dining room by default. It's on a flattened out cardboard box so I can pick it up and move it out of the way … mostly when people come over to game. The purpose is so that we can inhabit the dining room/living room (wide arch open communication floorplan) watch tv (sports) and craft together. I also routinely get feedback on my minis. Mostly honest. SWMBO has been sick twice in 30 years (well … that I know of or while I wasn't on deployment). Both times, she holed up in bed and sweated it out (with the help of antibiotics) for two days and I kept away (no noise) and listened in (baby monitor) to make sure she was OK. |

eto, a true family man, well actually all of you. My shop was in the basement, now I've been exiled to the garage, (No basements in Florida!). When the SWMBO is sick I get out my nurse's habit and we play doctor, at least we used to. |

I remember having to forego a weekend plan of gaming because my wife had hurt her knee,and I had to take her to urgent care. Luckily,no fractures. |

I had to leave mid game one time when my wife went into labor (false labor – but none the less). The right thing to do, as she surely has had my back on many deployments. |
