I think she just needs some encouragement and a warm arm around her to cheer her up and get her interested. I think if she appreciated it she'll come around. Before you know it, it'll be you getting dragged out to have a look at something she's found then you'll have to pry her eyes off your scope. She'll come home from work late one night with a sheepish look on her face, and when you ask where she's been she'll say "Oh, just drove past bintel on the way home. I saw a really great barlow...and bought a few things...". Then when you go to see what those few things are and find two WO 158mm refractors, two QSI 583WSG's in the back, and an order form for a 20" Planewave CDK and Sirius Obs' School Model Observatory in the glove box, you'll know where the money in the bank went   |
Carl you're a champion, that's a bloody crack up mate and I just got a funny look at work for having a chuckle at this!!
I nominate Carl as the IIS AAS Mediator!!!
