Woman be taking your top loaders?!

Next thing you know she'll be using the storage bins for your SWM, for her scrap booking supplies!

Might be time to: :maul:

But, toploaders aren't expensive, I think I got a pack of 100 for about 20-25 bucks on ebay.

I think my LGS has 100-packs for $20.
I've easily gone through a couple of them between SWM and all my son's now-languishing CCGs.

Just sell some of his cards to buy more minis. As long as he's wired into Xbox live, he wont notice.

BTW, did he even go to Egypt Wars 2 a couple weeks ago? I was expecting to see him around with the MTG crowd, but didnt see him anywhere. Didnt spend alot of time over on that side of the building, but still.

Maybe if I dial his bandwidth back far enough on the router, he'll do something else out of frustration.

... So today when I wake up, I find that my wife has them filled with clipped coupons?!?!?! ...

Most routers should have settings for QoS (Quality of Service) for specific applications, as well as per machine by hardware (MAC) address, or the ethernet port it is connected to.

I haven't actually changed his bandwidth settings from the defaults, but I have set the parental PCs at the highest priority, so we can actually surf and get e-mail at a reasonable speed while he is playing. :mrgreen:

The best part is being able to set the times of day during which he can even connect. It's great for setting deadlines later than I care to stay up on weekends. :fight2:

It's kind of a pain with the Linksys I have though. The manual should cover that stuff if your router can do it.

I had no idea you were so techno-savvy, Dave.

Squelch, maybe your wife will save enough on groceries to cover the cost of more top loaders, and eventually, more minis.

Sadly we watch that show too and my wife raided my toploader sheets also, since she is in a major organization mode all I see on the table is my box of toploaders and halful sheets of coupons.

Ok, so I'm reorganizing my collection for like the 10th time. And I have a handful of top loader binder sheets empty and laying out on my dining room table. So today when I wake up, I find that my wife has them filled with clipped coupons?!?!?! I think she's been watching that extreme coupon show a little too much! Squelchy and his wife --->

Might be time to: But, toploaders aren't expensive, I think I got a pack of 100 for about 20-25 bucks on ebay. Scrap booking supplies!!! Nnnnooooooooo Ggrrrr Ya, my collection has gotten pretty big recently. Somewhere over the 2000 mark, might even be around 2500. I'm going to have to re-do everything. So I think I'm going to keep my R and VR in card storage boxes, and C and UC in the top loader sheets. Ya, they aren't too bad in my area. Walmart charges way too much for them here! I don't know who they think they are! My Microeconomics teacher calls Walmart "The Evil Empire." swinefeld wrote: I think my LGS has 100-packs for $20. I've easily gone through a couple of them between SWM and all my son's now-languishing CCGs. Ya, that's most likely what I'll do here. My son has a decent sized Pokemon collection. Plus he needs some of the sheets for his Yu-Gi-Oh cards. However SW Minis has priority here.

I tried to get him to come play the Hoth thing with me. And he's like a set or two behind on MTG now. Maybe if I dial his bandwidth back far enough on the router, he'll do something else out of frustration.

Our games on X-Box live lag big time when someone else is online surfing. Thanks again dude.

I had no idea you were so techno-savvy, Dave. Squelch, maybe your wife will save enough on groceries to cover the cost of more top loaders, and eventually, more minis.

I don't even own a digital camera, I can't figure out newer cell phones, and most of my computer stuff is 6-10 years old. However, I do like to tinker with things, in general.

I can relate to the new cell phone thing Dave. I picked up my brothers Droid the other day, and was completely and hopelessly lost in seconds.

Well, that is one use for them I guess. I still use mine for, um, well, um, baseball cards and um, star wars minis character cards. So I guess one of us is a bit abnormal, and I think it's not me.

Ya, I do the Baseball card thing too. But coupons?!?!?! Now that's abnormal and unethical!!!
