The more experienced will give you answers about the viv; but I have decades of experience with various men and I can tell you now that it is very difficult to change others. I am glad she is gorgeous and makes you happy; I bet your mom always told you that beauty comes from within and I believe that to be true. A new couch is nice, but if you have had to buy a new couch in order to have your lizards that is blackmail.

hhmm..its a counselling forum now..lol. but isnt that the way the world works...we dont go in for your partner is your best friend etc in scotland..the boys do boy things girls do girly things...we arent joined at the hip like alot of you guys.my 3 usa girlfriends all wanted to spend everyday with me...(which is nice if thats what you want)..i found my newyork girlfriend wanted to anaylise everything..instead of just bloody getting on with it.everyone i know bribes there missus in one way or another to get what they want,my mate bought his girl a brand new car so he wouldnt have to go shopping on saturdays..lmao.i draw the line at couch.bribe or not it works..shes happy im happy...and beardys get new viv...everyones a winner bobs your uncle...as for looks well if i could find a girl that loved animals then i wouldnt mind if she had 3 eyes i would be happy..unfortunatly not too many girls want pets messing there nice homes..gnite im off my soap box and off to think of what else i can offer her for a rack system with 3 vivs...lmao

"unfortunatly not too many girls want pets messing there nice homes"

You should come to Texas. Most of my girl friends here are goo-goo over animals. I have one friend who has 3 dogs, 12 cats, a snake, a fish, and god knows what else I've forgotten.

shasha369 Apr 22, 2004 07:38 PM

He works days I work nights so we very seldom see each other but there is usually someone home at all times

RiverRatt Apr 22, 2004 08:54 PM

getting rid of her won't work maybe you could get a couple vivs coat them with some material and convince her that they are foot stools for the new couch. Sorry that I can't answer your question on the beardies I just got my first one myself here a while back.

Hmmmmmmm Eve...

Sounds like you need a nice looooong Florida vacation from all those critters!

How about you come to Florida for 6 weeks so I can schedule my next surgery? LOL

Lets see, including babies and incubating eggs you would only have about 160 beardies to care for LOL oh and a dog, but he is inbred so he doesn't really count lmaooooo

While your here maybe you could catch my thief for me?!?! Someone has been coming into my house while I am out getting the kids from school and stealing babies!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRR Wait till I catch em!!

This is your girlfriend??
Man, I never had any pull till I was a "wife"!!!

I don't barter though...If say I need a new tank, He doesn't bother saying "no" anymore, because he knows I'll go buy it anyway...

Works for me!!

Remind your girlfriend just how wonderful she is for making sacrifices to keep you happy. And let her know that's one of the things that make you love her so much. Great relationships come from understanding(or at least tolerating) each others interests.
I can see a new reptile coming out of this. Along with the vivarium and complete set-up.
