The ping pong table is a sheet of plywood, framed up so it can sit firmly on one of his workbenches, or be moved aside if a big project requires space. We didn't even wait to paint it to start playing on it, and OMG the laughing and fun (and workout! We're usually drenched in sweat after a few games). We finally goot it painted, but put the net right back up, and still need to do lines around the edges. The smaller size makes for some wicked fast games. <br /><br />We added a few spicy scoring options to both darts and ping pong. If you close bulls, AND win the game, you get to claim something from the other (we had to add the caveat of winning to kkeep the bullseye, because once one had done so, suddenly the rest of the game didn't matter). And if you win 3 out of 5 ping pong games, (depending on cover from neighbors - we're in our garage) the other has to remove an article of clothing. <br /><br />The competition is intense but hilarious, as neither of us could give a shit about winning or losing but for the saucy additions. In a non-perv-mode game, we often forget all about the game and end up talking for hours. There are nights where we mock-admonish the other, "NO garage time tonight!" so that we actually will end up in bed, to sleep and/or have sex. <br /><br />We don't do TV at all btw, except for rental movies. We just don't have time. <br /><br />AngelineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4514791571109198162.post-52427867444485400932012-06-12T04:59:17.352-04:002012-06-12T04:59:17.352-04:00Excellent idea.

I've been ...TV in the bedroom is a sex killer!<br /><br />I've been chatting with the SO about moving the TV out and into the spare room next door just for this reason. (Currently used as our home office, but we don't actually work out of it so...) I might have to buy a little furniture and setup a "sitting area" to meet her criteria for agreeing to this, but I'm more than willing. It will be worth the cost in money and effort in lost opportunities for some lovin. Besides, it would give us some new furniture to defile. ;-)Ted Dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4514791571109198162.post-85502157806183899292012-06-07T14:40:22.302-04:002012-06-07T14:40:22.302-04:00Love this, television in the bedroom has been a so...Love this, television in the bedroom has been a sore spot for me for years. We've cut the cable a few months ago, and in the living room and it's not on (Netflix) nearly as much. Scrabble is good times, and we tend to take things pretty seriously as well, may be time to dust that game off!Average Married Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08382691416907635450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4514791571109198162.post-53068740242907279502012-06-07T14:18:40.831-04:002012-06-07T14:18:40.831-04:00Good suggestion, Ian.

Now everyone jumps on their iThing and settles into their personal silo, tuning everyone else out.<br /><br />TV is a great way to unite people by discussing common shows, sports teams, etc. But you don't really engage each other.<br /><br />Games are a great way to get rid of any competitive aggression that may be focused on controlling a partner. Getting to declare victory in a meaningless competition may be sufficient in satisfying that need for respect.Ednoreply@blogger.com
