I found my hot, smart, funny and sami-sane geek girl (that I am now married to) 15 years ago on mIRC when it was still 56k modems and per minute charges and 99% of people on mIRC were smelly, socially inept, male nerds. :cool:

Yes! You got me by 12 years. Awesome isn't it?
 
These posts are useless without pics. ;)

Here's one of her modeling what would become her steampunk Halloween costume last year. The pic is awful, but you'll get the idea:

You're one lucky Man, and I really love how the two of you met!!!:D

Oh, I know how lucky I am! But, I think you might be confusing me with AhmedFaisal above - he had a much more fleshed-out story, while I was less than forthcoming on how we met.

I met her on MySpace, believe it or not. Found her interesting looong before I saw her, and she me despite my being a huge nerd. We laugh about the MySpace thing now - last place one would expect to meet (and later marry) a genuine person.

I have other pics of her - legit modelling stuff as well as pics from our wedding/honeymoon last year (the latter include me in them, unfortunately) that I might post if anyone wants to verify that she exists. ;)

You're right, I thought you had met chatting on the ol' IRC.:) But it's quite funny how the two of you connected on My Space....there are more and more relationships starting on the Net these days.:D Tell your Wife, she has that "modelling stance" down pat!:D
Hubby and I also met in an amusing way in our College cafeteria - I stole his Soda 'cause I was dying of thirst, he wasn't looking/paying attention, and I had just misplaced my wallet. Funny thing was,he told me he had been dying to meet me for months before, but had not yet plucked up the nerve.:eek:

That's a very cool story - it's one that you're happy to share with people. I always cringe a bit when I tell how we met. You never know the reaction you're going to get.

And yes, she has that stance down pat. Seems like every full shot of her she is in that stance, even the ones that are completely spontaneous. Her kids tease her about it. Here's one taken in Jamaica last year (just ignore me) where she just assumed the stance.

That's a nice picture of you and your mom. Are you gonna post one of your wife now?
 
What I meant was that she does not look like she's had even one child let alone 2 or more. Yowsa! ;)

And yes they do. I know, I married one :D
 
Wh-wha-WHAAAAAT?!?!?!? GTFO :eek:

Yeah, she has three kids - 17, 11 and 8.

And to the cougar comment...I don't think she's in the accepted cougar age range. Plus, she and I are the same age (38) so I am by no means her young boy toy.

I think the term iJohnHenry is groping for is MILF.

I married a science geek. She calls me Thor.

I am also considered by my inlaws to be an 'Apple snob'. :cool:

Thankfully, I don't have that problem - her dad is a bigger Apple fanboy than I am. He participates in/runs a couple of MUGs in Memphis, and has a "cave" that is littered with Apple computers, new and old.

Mmmmmm, no. I would not go there.

But you look young enough that, if she has 3 kids, she qualifies as a Cougar, to you. ;)

EDIT: I sit corrected.

milf is from around 30 to 45 and cougar just means more experience older women 45 and stops around the age of wrinkled and beat up and the mans particular taste thats just my opinion though - Answerbag http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/717878#ixzz1QtEgQom0

That's hilarious. I think there's a chart somewhere out there that uses "cat" designations for various female age groups. Too lazy to GIS.

And thanks for the comment on me looking young. 38 is young, right? RIGHT???

All that and the misuse of "then". Nice. ;)
