Model Forum / General / Models / January 2008Slightly OT - Look What the G.F. gave Me for the Holiday
I have been going with someone since August and it has been working out just Great Too. Well - I have to tell you that she Likes and understands the Whole Idea of Building Models and is really Ok with putting up with all of the Quirks and the traits which some of Us as Modelers and Collectors tend to Have at times. I never expected to receive the types of things that she gave me for the Holiday But she handed me this Big Plastic Case with Carry Handles with Trays inside of it Well - Packed inside there were All Sorts of Good Stuff. There was a big x-acto set with different Cutting and Carving Blades Plus a lot of extra Cutting Blades Then the Miter Box and the Saw Blades sets to go with it. There was a Boxed Set of Six different small Pliers. Then just if I need to use one there was a Great Glue Gun with a Ton of different types of Glue Sticks. And then in the Bottom was a New very Shiny Dial Caliper to top it all off Tell Me - Just How Great is it to have a Girlfriend that Not only Knows What the Tools Are. But She can Use Them Too And She doesn't mind the OCD type traits that some of us tend to show when other people see that we have 6 or 8 or More of the Same Kit in Our Pile and that you still need to have ''Just'' One More of that Kit She Understands and She Doesn't seem to mind at All. and she Knows just about How Many Kits that I actually really Have I can certainly Tell Ya that this IS gonna get Real Serious ......... :) :) :) I think that This Month she's gonna want to see just what I might want in the Way of a ''Few New Kits'' for the Blessed Kit Pile. I hope that ''a Few'' just might turn out to be a pretty Good Sized Number Guys - I have Got to Tell Ya Something This One is a - KEEPER .... :) :) :) Lets All have a Great New Year and Lets Keep Building Away. I'm running Lots of New Projects thru My Head right Now :) ...

I was used to that old blade just bouncing off my fingers. hey, guess what the new blades do, they go right into the skin and produce prodigious amounts of blood.... Man those new blades are sharp. Craig I got back into this hobby a couple of years ago after a long absence. I have had little to know grief about it from my wife. I guess she would rather see me wield my xacto knife and hoist my bottle of super bonder as opposed to hoisting a shot glass or tucking dollar bills in a g-string. Just like every other hobby, modeling can get expensive but I think my wife figured out it is probably a whole lot cheaper and safer than some of the alternatives. I think your girlfriend probably understands the "value" in supporting your modeling habit (:> (Count DeMoney) wrote: I got back into this hobby a couple of years ago after a long absence.

Yes I do think that is a Large part of what is going on. Her husband Built those Large Scale Planes. The Big Balsa ones that you can Fly. Soooooo she is already interested because of how similar the two hobbies are. In so far as you have got to Build the Model the fact that I like to build everything from Armor to Sci-Fi she finds very interesting. She herself is into Beads and Stones there are things that she has made in Little Boxes every place you look She's very very good at building them too. Yo can see that she knows all about Good Workmanship and keeping up with Skills I'm pretty sure I can get her to Build a Kit in the New Year here. It is Really Great when Each has a Hobby. You Both tend to be a Little Bit More Understanding. :) ... Carl .......... ,, I got back into this hobby a couple of years ago after a long absence.

There arn't many jets or German aircraft that I plan on building any time soon, so they'll go first.She's also trying to get into building. Brought home a Testor's UFO from the Christmas party for painting as the ultimate Avon Calling vehicle.

Tom, may I suggest Mary Kay pink? The ultimate transport for the ultimate party plan supervisor? RobG (The Aussie one) > you're a bitter old fart. > get your membership card and free pint at the door. Absolutely, but not so much of the old, eh. (c: I was married for 13 1/2 years, and when I look back at it, on balance I'd have been happier, better off financially and less lonely on my own. I'm not planning any relationships any time soon. RobG (The Aussie one) > someone@some.domain wrote > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > relationships any time soon. > Hell hath no fury like a man divorced...particularly if alimony is involved. Realizing that marriage was the leading cause of divorce, I've avoided the institution for all of my 51 years. I did once meet a happily married couple though; the fact that the husband was a doctor of psychology probably helped. :-) Pat |
