    congrats mate!

    It's no job with the Astros, but then again, you don't have to move to Houston to take it.
    I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert...

          There are other kinds of networking.

            my wife rarely complains about fantasy baseball, but she does keep track of my winnings vs expendatures and "informs" me when the balance has been negative for a while....

              It's not for everyone, but my wife and I keep our money completely separate. She has no idea how much/little I spend on my hobbies. (She also does not care as long as I pay my 1/2 of the household bills.) This is my second marriage and her third and we've been together for 27 1/2 years. Like I said, it works for us, but I don't advocate it for everyone.

                My wife is the "Minister of Finance" in our house, although I generate 100% of the income, so she is more just busting my balls that I suck at fantasy baseball more than anything else...."$90 to BaseballHQ, eh? How did that work out?" that kind of stuff....

                  Sometimes, it's good to be the king. I am the minister of finance in my household. I tried to show my system of paying bills to my wife once. That didn't go so well.

                    Like this kind, with a picture of what happened at Jason's house.



                    And by the way, congratulations, Erik!

                      due to an extremely well-timed run of good luck, my wife thinks that I am +EV for playing poker or fantasy sports. Over the time we've been married I am +EV on fantasy sports, but the poker... I had a nice streak early on.

                      Historically we haven't really kept track of our budget that closely. It is becoming awkward now that we're paying day care and the extra expense is cutting into our budget more significantly than anything else we used to do.
                      In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

                        my wife declared my "close enough" method as "Guy Accounting", and took over about two years into our marriage...

                            You think fantasy baseball is hard to explain. Try Vintage Drafting Explanations. Evan Roto players look at you like you are nuts when you bring up Old Hoss. Eldiablo, Frae, Pogues , Heye, johnny.... never got me shit. Bastards!!!!!
                            I made a chocolate cake the other day. Come over and I'll give you a big slice.
                            Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

                              I'm pretty sure I'm -EV over the course of time playing fantasy sports, mainly because I tend to do much better in free leagues than pay ones. My Yahoo trophy case is pretty impressive.

                              But I do much better at the casino than my wife does, so she doesn't have any leverage over me on this kind of thing.
