I got a chuckle from this, thought id share
Received this text this morning from wifey (see screenshot)
For the first night in forever, i didn't touch my actual computer ... and sat on the couch with my wife. Which was fine, since i had my TFP with me to crush any withdrawals i might have.
Now as a different note, she wants to "talk about life" now that she see's i can sit on the couch. Any married people out there know wtf that means, and what i should prepare for???
Never thought the TFP would change my life THAT MUCH!
It's hard to tell, it seems like she might be about to hit you with something. Whenever they say lets talk thats trouble, talking should be natural not told to do so.
I'm curious how you go "in" your computer.
Maybe she wants a baby?
Dude at least you can use your prime, my wife always wants to steal it to play AngryBirds/Where's my water...
In my experience, usually women just want to spend time with you when they wanna "talk about life". Just give her your full attention, imho thats more important then what you actually talk about^^ If she's a talker you ask "so how are you" and listen and nod and sometimes paraphrase what she just said. If she's a listener well I guess you just tell her the imba stuff you can do with your prime
Cheers mate!

which is why ill be buying an ipad3 when they come out, to give them haha
BTW im usually in my own chair using my laptop, since she is using my prime ... and dont talk much while watching tv shows.
finally i wanted to use my prime so i sat on the couch next to her ... and this is what i get. Now i have to "talk" crap!! !
lol haha
Uh Oh!
My ex-wife started our last conversation as a married couple with that line.
Just kidding. We actually spoke quite a bit, right up to the divorce.
I was impossible to live with! I'm sure your wifey just wants to spend more time with you.
Man you guys makes me not wanna get married lol. My gf gets mad when I'm always on my tablet. I'm gonna be SOL if shes already mad at that now.

It's about time, balance your free time between her and your hobbies, but just give her more time, you'll avoid any issues by following this advice.
Women are funny that way. It's not necessarily what you're doing with them, but that you're just in the same room. Mine's the same way: before, I'd do my early evening browsing, RSS catchup, and such on my desktop or notebook, but not usually in the same room where she's cooking dinner.
Now that I have the Prime (although to be precise it actually started with the original Transformer), I can do exactly the same stuff, but sit in the same room with her. And she's happier.
Go figure.

To the OP...see how the Prime is changing your life for the better..lol.
I have the address for a strip club on the other side of town, but cannot get my damn GPS to work!!
lol ok, bad joke )
So now you ignore her with the tablet every night rather than ignoring her in a different room?

Agreed cloud5.
Rsarno, I think you should dedicate time everyday AWAY from your prime/PC to talk about her day (and yours). Let me know how that goes.
The problem is now she'll expect you on the couch every night. Long gone are the nights of reddit, wow or SWTOR. You are now available. If she wants to talk about having a baby. Kiss the rest of your life goodbye. Those long sessions of doing anything you want...gone. Your life now revolves around a small devil that bursts forth from your wifes once attractive area...now it's only seen as a baby maker and is no longer sexy.
Yeah...welcome to my world buddy.

Right there with ya. *white guy gang sign*
Come on Guys !!!!
Surely you know by now when the Wife says we gotta Talk it actually means ...You're gonna sit & listen !!!!
Darn I hope "she who must be obeyed" don't read this LMAO
My wife is kind of going the other way, let me explain.
I am 41 y.o, always been a gamer. My wife is 36, doesn't really understand hard core gaming and the time it takes to get decent at it. She would always give me **** about how much time I was playing games instead of hanging out with her. We have 2 kids 5 and 8.
So last summer/fall I helped coach my son in football and the wife and I became friends with this group of people (coaches and wives). The coaches started talking about MW3 and how much fun it is to play.
Fast forward to about a week ago, I come home and see MW3 sitting on the couch, I asked "Did you buy this?", she says yes. In the back of my head I am like no way, she hates this stuff. I set it up for her to play, I wanted her to get a feel of how the game plays. She comes up from playing, eyes huge like someone thats been on a 2 day bender. The first thing she says to me is "This is like crack, so fun!!!"
I looked at her and said, now you know why I would disappear for hours on end playing against my friends. She looked at me kind of sad face and said "sorry, if only I had known how fun it was and to play and talk to friends no matter where they are, I would've done this a long time ago."
Needless to say, it is never too late to try something.
It's over dude.
RUN!!!!

Yeah picked this show up over the summer smwatching from season 1 and saw everyone this season. By far one of the best shows ever written! Got me hooked like I was with 24 and Lost, but this is much better written.
Follow the creater on Twitter for some redic commentary. The guy has zero filter! @sutterink
Didn't realize he was the guy that actually played Otto in the show itself. In real life he's married to the chick that plays Gemma.
He's real good with the writing as in he will make you want something to happen to purposely not do it and pull you along. And the whole cartel cia thing came outa nowhere for me.
Last interview he did he said he hopes to get 7-8seasons out of the show as that'll give him time to play it all out and run its course.

I know. The three TV shows I have seen her in have absolutely no similarities, with different/unique personalities. Unfortunately with most actors/actresses the first thing you notice is the character's personality isn't portrayed accurately enough because the actors aren't good enough to make sure none of their real life personality and quirks show through. As I was trying to describe above; Katy Segal is consistently creating her characters that don't have those things that are noticeable. I think it takes a real special person to be capable of doing that, and she definitely needs more recognition and roles rewarding that.
By far one of the best shows on television. As someone else said.... The whole CIA thing came out of nowhere.
Can't wait for season 5. At least Justified comes back next month.

1st of all, LMA OFF!! @ your sig, I sat here and went through the whole thing and went "dam, this is about to be the whole series"
2nd, I am a huge SOA fan and I'll be honest, this was one of the best seasons hands down and I didn't really care for the finale. It was all built up then in one episode they spent it breaking back down with no real OMG I must see next season.
Spoiler in white below:
What happen to the baby momma? She was of no purpose on the show. "I want to see my kid" then poof gone. Next season will obviously be about the Irish again but now they are working with the CIA? Cmon, they already magically got out of an FBI bust.

baby momma will be back next season for a few episodes he stated. Said they signed her on for like 5-7 episodes so she has a few to be in next season at the very least.
I personally can't get over how much different she looks now than from when the chick was on the Sopranos......funny how she was a "junkie" in both. haha
SHe was SO hot in the Sopranos too!
This thread is not about Photon, It is about me and I need some serious help. From my post here, most of you know me. Single, live in great upscale neighborhood, cool job. I don't do drugs, drink some. I walk around crib in boxers, scratch myself, fart, leave the toliet seat up, I'm me.
Was at local bar Monday and a local lesbian (she is cool) asked me if I knew someone that had a room for rent. I don't. She told me about lesbian friend that needed a room. Sorry, no clue. Why cant she stay with you I asked. She is still living with Ex. She asked about my crib! I told her (and seriously) I really don't play well with others! I have my TV's, Pool Table, 3 Computers (don't ask!) Actually 4 computers with job.................No, I cannot live with anyone.
THEN, I met said lesbian. On a scale of 1 to 10, she is the square root of 1Tb devided by 69 plus 10 to the square of 2!!!!!!!!!!!! If you google Ice-T and Coco, she is Coco with Black hair and light blue eyes that will melt mear mortal men. 5'11", Soft spoken, laid back. Told me she is quite and just needs a few months as she just moved back from West Coast. After I dropped $75.00 on food and drinks, I told her I would think about it. To be honest, she can have my crib and my check, I cannot get her off my mind!!
And you really want to know how bad it is, I came to work today and left Photon at home!!
Now she is staying with friends in the hood (My brother lives that way and I don't visit him!) on one hand, I want to help. On the other hand, I'm a man and.......I dont know. I'm going to lunch!
Sally! She probably needs to know stuff up front. Boxers, etc.
Personally I wouldn't. I am not a trusting person, especially with all of your loot scattered around the house.

OMG did ya rub Aladdins lamp & forget what ya asked for last time you was drunk..Cmon!! Thats like the best situation any single bachelor would want, Make her leave a deposit if ya worried...
Well now that I have eaten, I decided i am NOT going to give her my spare room. Nothing good can come from it. First time I see her come out of shower it's over. I'm a dog. My ex-wife will tell you that. My mother will tell you that. He** even my Doctor will tell you that as he gives me Rx for my peepee!!! (I gotta get picture of me and the Lesibans?)
Actually, this entire mess is the Photons fault!!! The original lesiban also has OtterBox and started asking me phone questions. Then she wanted to know what Hennessy taste like. Then bumming smokes..............I need to meet a stright chick!!!
True, it is a recipe for disaster.
What happens when work sends you away again? You come to an empty house. You don't exactly have the worlds best track record with women, according to your posts. You'll move her in, next thing you know you're paying for her cell minutes, clothes, car, nose candy, etc.

I have pretty much made up my mind it 100% no. This is a mess waiting to happen and I have no way to win.
From my understanding, what she is paying in the hood she could never make it 1/2 way to my neighborhood.
2. Unless you have 725 Credit Score and $100K renters insurance your not coming to my hood. Next, you have to physically go to UGI and PP&L and get the utilities in YOUR Name before they will give you keys. Which is why she is looking for the roommate deal.
3. What happens if I get some a**, what do I do with her? (Or do I have to fight the lesibin?)
Anyway, its a no win situation where I will get f**ked, in a bad way, if I let her, or anyone else, stay with me!

I'm working on it! I went to happy hour last night and did not see either of them. She lives 15 miles away from here. The only reason she got over here the other day and the other chick was showing her around.
just convert her do the darkside and then ull be fine. some girls dont know what they want, they switch back and forth many times.
I see alot of member's signature's with Military comments, so I wanted to take a minute to say hello and introduce myself! Some things to clear the air......
1. I was never in a war.
2. I never killed anyone.
3. I was never in Special Ops!
4. I have seen an A1 Abrams Tank, HUGE! (They would not let me play with it!)
5. When I was a member of Division Schools, I signed up for B.U.D. School. My black ass lasted 2 hours before they kicked my ass out!!! (Did get free trip to Hawaii?)
6. I went to Team Sprit in South Korea in 1982. I found that my peepee dont work at 30 below zero!!! Even if you get hooker, your stuck!
7. I tried boxing one year. Round one I beat the crap out of Puerto Rican in Army. Round two, I beat the crap out of him again. Round three, I was too tired to lift my arms, I tried to run the Puerto Rican took a liking to my ribs. I lost!
8. I went to jail twice in Japan. Once, we were all riding in a Duce 1/2 heading to Kadena Air Base and we had bright idea to all try our gas mask. Japaneese PoPo did not like that joke!
9. I did J.E.S.T (Jungle Enviroment Surival Training) in the Phillipines. It took them 6 month of canceellation before they put me in this one week course. I walked the streets of Subic Bay for 6 months! One thing I did learn, If you do not eat for 3 days, everything taste like chicken!
10. Getting around a Aircraft carrier is not as easy as one might think!!
Speaking of Aircraft carrier's, if you seen that movie with Owen Wilson "Behind Enemy Lines" Where that aircraft carrier is out at sea alone, that filiming is BS! You will NEVER see an Aircraft Carrier alone unless it's docked!!! It's pack of support ships, destroyers, sub always leaave first to support it. Same with reverse, That carrier docks first before anyone comes home!
What's up,
SGT. Moonz, reporting.

After that, I wanted to do Recruting to get E6 but was shipped off to Special Duty at Public Affairs at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. I guy from my hometown was also a System Programmer, got out and got job making $33,000.00 a year. As soon as my enlistment was up, I got out and got job with Rick!!! $33K in 1987 was serious loot!!

I have family in virtually all branches of the service and its fun to sit around a camp fire with them (having a few beers, of course) and listen to some of their stories. Its amazing the things that they have seen and experienced.
My favorite story is the one my grandfather tells about watching the guys raise the flag on Iwo Jima. He as down a little ways on the hillside when it happened and says that it was a pretty powerful experience. He was in the Marines. In fact, they invited him back to Iwo Jima not to long ago to reunite with other Marines that fought there. I don't think there were many of them still alive. To this day he doesn't want to go on a cruise because he says that he has "spent enough time on the damn ocean."

Sgt Reyna reporting! 11c infantry mortar. Hell yeah fu** a tent. I hate camping. I'll be in the van if you need me.
I learned how to wait for hours and not complain.
I can sweep my broom off.
I can play spades and dominoes like a champ.
I tell my kids "come here YOU! "
I can shoot the wings off a fly! (maybe a little exaggerated)
Been out for almost 8 years and I still can't sleep in unless I go to bed stupid late. (like if I want to wake up at noon I have to go to bed @ 8am or later)
If someone says "get down" loud enough I can hear it I hit the dirt.
It's true, but I joke for the benefit of anyone that has been a grunt.
I grew up in Arizona but the Army raised me. I wouldn't be the member of society I am today if not for the military.
Thank you for the blanket of freedom you provide!

Almost every instance on using this phone in public, people either stop and stare or they ask questions. It isn't like I'm trying to bring attention to myself but everyone is always asking if that is the new note. I leave it on my desk at work and whenever people come into my office, I'm asked about it and they want to doodle with the stylus. I hope this interest turns into more sales so that Samsung is prompted to come out with more phones in this line in the future. I simply refuse to go to any other phone now.
If you watched any basketball this weekend, the commercials were constant. They certainly seem to expect good sales:

If you seek attention, I'm sure you will find it.
Seems as if you either walk around waving this phone in the air or you are doing something to draw attention to yourself.
Its only a phone dude!
I get a kick out of these type of threads. I used to read them on the iPhone forums and laugh, but it seems the same type of people are here as well.
Probably a bit of an underage issue a well.
I've been using the latest phones and tablets for awhile now and have never had anyone come up to me and ask me about any of them . Those that say they constantly have people coming up to them at obviously seeking attention.
Remember...a phone does not make you cool

I have both asked and been asked by strangers about phones I've owned. Perhaps people don't ask you because you give off a bad vibe, or smell bad, or something.

I smell bad but still get asked about my Note.
I got the note cause I'm fat and needed a big keyboard. So far the only ones to ask me about it are my close friends. Never have I had someone cone up to me or stare at me because of this phone.

Lol i got approached by a stranger the first day i got it at in & out burger. Whenever i play draw something with the s-pen, thats when people start to stare and i could hear em saying wow and omg thats a huge...(insert joke here). But put this phone next to your ear and you get strange looks.
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
I had my phone out at Nordstroms looking at Google shopper for shoes I wanted. The salesman there asked if it was and I've probably been asked over a dozen times if its the note or wow that's huge what is it.

Your comment seems quite underage. Just because some people have strangers asking them about devices and you don't doesn't mean they are lying or looking for attention.
Really only a few devices in the recent past, such as the Droid RAZR, have received as much media attention and advertising as the Note, so all of your latest tablets and phones have likely not drawn the same attention from the general public. Therefore you cannot compare them to the Note.
I do not show off my phones, I use them. With my Captivate, I received no comments from strangers. With my Infuse, I had a couple, but only from people familiar with Android that were curious what brand and model it was. With the Note, same use and everything, I have received more comments and attention than the whole time I had both of my previous phone, in just two weeks. Dude in line at Chipotle, girl employee at Home Depot, several people I have never talked to in my classes here at college. This phone is turning heads whether you are looking for attention or not, so don't be a downer because nobody finds you approachable.

You guys are so funny, thought this would never happen to me.
Went to get my drugs at the pharmacy, and the 3 people behind the counter all came over to look at it and touch it, they asked the same questions. Yes it fits in my shirt pocket, and I let them try it.

i don't know about the Advertising
but after using it hands on for a few days I'm addicted, it's so hard to get back to my T989
I get a lot of looks, and some comments. mostly "is that a phone???", "is that the one with a pen?", or "Is that the Super Bowl phone?" (referring the commercials played at the Super Bowl).
I have a gold metallic case on it so most of the time it looks like I am carrying a huge gold bar. Funny the looks I get.
I get asked about it all the time. I'll just be sitting on the train or at the bar or something and I guarantee someone will ask about it.

It's definitely not the advertising. It's the fact that it's a larger phone. I used a Dell Streak for 1.5 years and got the same type of comments about it.

Not worth the time to comment but I will anyway. I use my phone for business, not playing games. I don't "play" with it while waiting in a food line, nor do I walk around with it like it is a trophy. Many here do. That is obvious. As far as being "approachable", I am not looking for strangers to come up to me and ask about my phone, and I certainly don't want them "touching" it. The reason I even responded to this post was because the OP stated that the Note exuded a "coolness' factor. That certainly tells me how old he or she is.
We all grow up someday. Some of us a bit later I guess.
Give it time.

I also use my phone for business, not playing games. The only time games get played on my Note is when I let one of my grandchildren use it to keep them occupied. Nor do I walk around with it like it is a trophy as you put it. That being said, I still think it has a 'coolness' factor and yes, I have been asked about it in public. I spend a great deal of time on the phone when out - isn't that kind of the point to have a cell? If I didn't want to talk on the phone outside the office, I wouldn't carry it. I really do not mind people asking about it.
phone is awesome and everyone knows it.

You sure know how to wash down a party. I am a network admin for a defense contractor, so it is needed for work, and I do not just go waving it around looking for attention. If I want attention, I talk to my wife.
Glad your so boring.

The lame response by lindenhurst has inspired me to share.
Story#1 (2 weeks ago)
I attended my wife's induction into the honor society for her university yesterday afternoon. There were 16 inductees and we all socialized a bit before the ceremony began. I was to pin my wife so I quickly made nice with the couple that sat next to us and asked if they would mind tag teaming on getting pics of the pinning action. All was set. If you could have seen the look on the face of the guy (and others around us). When I pulled out my Note... He said "what is that!?!? ". Of course, I took the opportunity to demonstrate the wonders of the Note to him as his amazement grew. After he got a chance to handle it and snap a few pics of us during our part of the ceremony he was hooked. His wife looked at me and said "I guess he's found a new toy now.. I can see it in his eyes".. I just laughed and went about my business. He had an iPhone.
Story#2 (last week)
So I venture into my local Best Buy to return an item. As I am standing at the return counter waiting for the guy to process my return, I am typing away in facebook and fully engaged on my Note. The young girl behind the counter next to him said "Wow. Is that the Note? I want to get one so badly. My mom won't let me but I am going to figure out a way to get one. I love that phone." I then let her hold it because she was so starstruck with it.. Really... I laughed inside.

If you leave a remark please be an adult about it...
I don't know how many days he had to check out the Gear S before a review, but I can tell you he had no idea about this product and he tore the Gear S a new one..lol and gave it a "Do Not Buy".
What a bonehead ...... you can get it without a contract, you can also use it without a Galaxy device, and you can turn the volume UP! #usererror :silly:

That is fine if it is a "Do Not Buy", but please do spend some time to learn and get to know the product before giving a review beside just not knowing nothing and tearing it apart with all negative comments leading up to a "Do Not Buy". Yup, his review has alot of user errors.
"No one in their right mind would buy this". I think he is very unproffessional. And owe his viewers with this watch an apology. He Doesn't research very well or at all. And is arrogant. Never followed the guy I just like watching videos on gear s on YouTube and stumbled on it. I'm not a fan boy just like what I like. But him comparing the s to a moto 360 was laughable at best. If your too old to play the game it's time to move on. That was the most half cocked review I have ever saw in my life. Maybe he's paid well by apple.
I want those 7 mins back. Nice shirt. lol
I like Leo, he's generally pretty good. Unfortunately he's a bit of an Apple fan boy. The Gear S probably never had a chance.
I love Leo and watch a lot of his twit shows online and have been watching him since the old ZD TV days, but he is off base on this as I love my Gear S watch. He probably just didn't try it out long enough and learn to appreciate it or read up enough on its capabilities
What an idiot. He knew nothing about the watch.
I've watched Leo's reviews, and such, before (and have enjoyed them) but this one clearly showed that he didn't know what he was talking about... and I am in my right mind, otherwise I would have bought an Apple Watch (which, btw, isn't even in production yet)
