He is having to pick up & move. It will be a very long time if ever that he will be back. Where is going Does not have modern technologies. So, he won't be able to be online. You will really be missed JoJo & best of luck. I hope everything works out.

Funny, when I met the two other Sleuths in real life, calling each other by our real names was REALLY difficult to do. Seriously, did we really want to walk around DC together calling each other "just kidding" and "smart ass."

Smart Ass husband, actually did a great impersonation of Smart Ass and how this game becomes real. Something like this in this really panicked voice...
"OHMYGOD, I love my charming clothes, they are so nice. I only need to get a charming cane and then I am ready. I can not believe that detective X robbed our agency. I feel so bad, everyone will hate me. I invited her in to the agency. I can't believe I was the one that invited her. OHMYGOD OHMYGOD OHMYGOOOOOOOOOOOOD."

Makensie maybe your fiance should start a detective of his own called "Detective Sleuth Widower." I think a lot of wifes, husbands, boy -and girl friends can start a "Sleuth Widow" club, where they can talk about how they lost their spouse to this game. :) Perhaps your fiance could be the president!!!! :)

ROFL at jstkdn! I play while husband is at work
but he is sure I am addicted. Oh well, better than heroin I guess.

LOL jstkdn!! sounds like a good idea!! hehehe

Here is a thought, get a cleaning lady while your husband is at work.....and claim you have not been playing. :) :) :)

(And one wonders why I don't have one of those...husbands that is. Nor individuals that pee against trees and bark.)

I like that idea about the cleaner Jstkdn....I could log on as soon as I finished work. and he would never know. Then I could say to him on an evening, but I've done all the ironing, cooked you a wonderful dinner, cleaned the house from top to bottom, picked up the three kids. Can't you do the dishes while I play a little sleuth.

Hey jstkdn, I said my hubby looks like them, but thank goodness he doesn't act like them...hehe, hehe..hehe. I'm sure if he does he won't be the one guarding prisoners but the one being guarded.

Talk about fooling your spouse, I use to play all night while he worked the night shift, then about two hours before he got home, I'd go through our house cleaning like a little tornado. By the time he arrived, my face would be blood red and sweat pouring off of my brow. He'd feel so sorry for me that he'd allow me to take a break and solve some cases .......am I bad or what...lol. Oh, and this is really bad of me. I put grease on the burner to melt for french fries, but forgot about it, when the fire alarms went off and scared the bajeevies out of me. I ran in and slung salt, flour and whatever I could find on the fire, and finally squirted water on it from the sink. Anyway, it melted the fan, hood, and burned the ceiling and woodwork by the stove...lol. Needless to say, I swore to turn off my PC if doing anything, or else he'd never let me play Sleuth again. Well, as most knows now, since I've been sick I don't spend as much time, so he doesn't have to worry.

Marylou.....it sounds like what you want to do. DaRu has already done. You girls are evil, I like it!!!

Burn your house down over Sleuth, now THAT's commitment.

Apr-6-2005 15:20

Yeah, committed,or need to be committed..lol. I've actually played so long that I fell asleep and wokeup discovering I had clicked on the wrong suspect and made a false accusation, which cost a bundle...ouch!! Talk about dumb. That's really pushing yourself to the limits..hehe. I guess I clicked the button while snoozing and slobbering away (pardon the expression, but was true). I bet there's some real stories here that we all could tell, and can give tips to the newbies in what not to do...lol.
