I was telling my husband about how I wasnβt sure about the poadsβ size, how I thought they were hand-sized and all. Told him I posted the question and that the answer was that poads are about the size of a fledgling.
He asks: Whatβs a fledgling?
Like, come on! I think I can rebuild his transmission on my own heβs told me so much about it. Iβm pretty sure Iβm as detailed as he is when I go on and on about my dragonsβ¦
Anybody have a Windstone exam I can give him?

http://www.sarahjestin.com/feedbacklists.htmMarch 25, 2007 at 1:32 pm #555515Yup. My husband pulls that on me all the time. βuh huh, Iβm listedingβ¦.yeahβ¦..uh huhβ. Then i stop talkking for a minuiet or 5, and he never flinches.
Yet the MOMENT he has something to tell me about a vidio game, a gun, or computers, by golly I had best be listening, even if itβs by far the most boring stupid thing Iβve ever heard(or, if heβs already told me a few times beforeβ¦.which happens a lot). Itβs like heβs my grandfather sometimes, and tells teh same story over and over and over and over
March 25, 2007 at 1:54 pm #555516Yeah. The hubbyβs the same way. I can say, βthe lap dragonβ or βthe emperorβ and he wonβt have a clue. Or colorsβ¦ nothing (he knows blue and black and red but not peacock and black gold and ruby β imagine what emerald peacock does to him
). Itβs sad because he helps me sell them at conventions, boxing them and writing up the slips. If Iβm waiting on someone and someone else wants a Windstone he makes them wait until Iβm free to tell him what it is. Or he badgers me with so many questions that I feel like the first person gets ignored. Heβs starting to show more interest and learn them though, so itβs getting better. Heβs realizing that he canβt just ignore them β that he has to have a part in the business if heβs really there to βhelpβ me.
March 25, 2007 at 2:01 pm #555517My husband likes to know whatβs going on during an intire conversation, and the first horse show we went to , we were talking about bay βishβsβ and βroanβ horses, and so he actually learned darn near every mold on the stone/breyer line, most of the colors, and he does get upset when I start hollering about something(like sandicast sending my shipment to the wrong address, so i lost most of my pre-orders, because itβll be another two weeks before the order gets to sanidcast/comes back to me), but as a whole, he zones me out.
He does like the dragon though. He actually said that now that the curio is being taken over by dragons, that he likes the dinning room more. He doensβt take an active intrest in who is who(maybe if we went to a live DRAGON show he would), but he said that since I got into dragons and talk abour horses less, iβm less boring
*shrugs* With me, itβs just that he zones out so you have no idea if he heard you yell fire or not.
March 25, 2007 at 2:10 pm #555518I donβt have a SO, but Dad likes to ask me why I buy pre-painted Windstones when I paint them just fine myself. I think he thinks Iβm slowly giving it up after the ransom of the BEP OW.
Fat chance.March 25, 2007 at 2:23 pm #555519I donβt think my boyfriend even knows the difference between the dragon sculpts β he says that they all look the same to him.
March 25, 2007 at 2:25 pm #555520Not the artsy type, I take it.
March 25, 2007 at 2:33 pm #555521Look at it this wayβ¦if they donβt know what the sculptures are by sight, they canβt name them and they arenβt paying much attention when you talk about them, it makes it that much easier to sneak a new one in 8)

This is true. When i got my first little white curl, he didnβt even notice. Course, nto the curio is filling upβ¦heβs kinda noticed that, but he likes them, so tiβs all good
Dragons must be more MANLY than horses.

Not at all. He has almost zero interest in decorations or artwork.
His main hobby is computer games. I play occasionally too, but heβs much more into it than I am. I guess I should be glad that heβs not completely addicted like some people we know.

Exactly! I donβt think he even notices when I get a new Windstone unless I point it out to him.
Though he probably will notice when I get my glass shelves since thatβll be a new piece of furniture and itβll be pretty hard to missβ¦
March 25, 2007 at 3:31 pm #555524Hahaha! I thought this was gonna be a good serious Birthday/Anniversary forgetting man-bashing event!
My man tries to act interested and even asks me questions, but he makes fun of the certificates of authenticity. He says he is gonna make something and just add a certificate so people will pay hundreds more for it
Its good he has his Jordan shoe fettish, cuz my dragons dont phase him at all!
March 25, 2007 at 3:32 pm #555525Whatever works

Nah, thatβs something Iβd never complain about. All and all, my guyβs a keeper (after 16 years, yeah, I guess Iβll keep him). I can tease him about his obsession and he teases me about mine.

Meanwhile Iβm becoming an involuntary expert in such things as computer hardware, sci-fi drive theory and Trek history.
