<If your spouse complains that you're a fanatic, do what Nick (Jester) did. He showed Teresa photos of my tying room, and told her the more she resisted it, the more he would want to become like Dr. D. She started to promote him in his tying/fishing, thinking the only way to save him might be reverse psychology.>
... and this worked. When we got Emelie, just moving my stuff out of "her" room was never an option. A larger apartment with much higher rent was HER idea. I didn't have the guts to ask her if we should move, just so I could have my own tying room. (Okay okay... I'm the one paying it, but still.) I'm a fanatic tier... and the extreme pictures of Don's tying room made her a fanatic promotor. "Check out this yarn I found when I was shopping... and this plastic sheet."... "Are these tiny beads something you can use?"... "Isn't this that kind of foam you can make wings from?"... "The Dollar is cheap now... maybe you want to use my eBay account for some shopping." (HER MONEY!!!) On and on and on and on... when you think you finally will get a couple of minutes alone, there she stands with something new. You should really think twice before you let your spouse see Don's tying room with the intention to get her to promote you. Those are extreme pictures and there is a chance you'll get more than you wished for... If you still chose to go through with it, see to it that you have a few multiple personalities ready. When I get worn out from all the promoting, I call for Jester, Buster, Ghoster or Ester to step in and give me a break. I wouldn't cope without them... ;o) /Nick
