Well by now it should be obvious that you and the wife are just not on the same wavelength of thinking. Probably a great idea would be to give her some money and let her go out for a night of Bingo. Make sure you don’t tell her about the online Bingo though or there is liable to be a few fights over whose getting the computer.
I’ve read this now so therefore there is no need for me to go play bingo, Im kicking my husband off of the computer so that I can try my hand at online poker, and now after reading your other articles I feel quite confident in doing so as I have been able to learn plenty about the game from your articles. Thankyou.
Yeah it is a good site to learn. It helped my husband and I find something that we are both interested in and that we both enjoy. Its great because we get into some online games together and see who can last the longest at the table.
