Negotiation Time

Happy wife happy life. Choose one

 

[B P Arn]

We are all responsible for our own happiness. Anyone who thinks someone else can make him happy, or that he can make someone else happy, is a fool IMHO.

Reminds me of my 10 year old nephew when I showed him a picture of the new blunderbuss I bought. He looked at me and said "Why do you need that?"
I just said "I don't need it, I WANT it"

I will never understand having a partner that doesn't want you to enjoy your life to the fullest even if they aren't interested in your hobby, maybe I just lucked out, it seems so common that men are skirting their wife's wrath lol.

Choose wisely Grasshopper, marry in haste, repent in leisure. My wife has seen me thru guns, motorcycles, cars, airplanes and everything in between. She rides on the back of the Harley, flew beside me in the plane, sat at car shows and track days and worked the rifle pits pulling targets with me. Nothing like having a buddy with ****s She also got me an hours stick time in a P-51 Mustang for a present, I choose wisely back in 1981

I recently found out that I don't NEED a lathe.

That’s only if you have a close friend who will let you use his, oh and his Bridgeport too.

Buy it with your "butter and egg money," slip it into your safe with your other guns, and act like it has been there 20 years.

Worked like a charm for me for a long time -- that is until I had to add a second safe because I ran out of room in the first one. Then she became just a little bit suspicious!

 

[vintovka]

Given todays circumstances i would Buy it immediately as it will be either 200% more in a week or never available again or most likely BOTH,

Yep, been retired a while and linda is really good to and for me.
Gotta ask and keep her in the loop. I do get questions like, "but you already have Les Pauls, what would this one do?"

My stock answer is.. "well, a landscape artist has more than one brush to create a great work. Guitars and guns are much the same thing, each one has a personality and use".

Doc:
I'm with you... One can NEVER have too many guitars!! Oh...er guns, Yup...forgot the guns.
God bless:

I had a job as a papermill electrical/instrument tech. I started a rat hole checking account at the mill credit union. Whenever I got some overtime(about every week in a papermill) I put money in it. Never touched the house money. The wife knew it and had her own rat hole account. She knew I used that money for my stuff. Not a word said.

My deceased wife and my current wife both love[d] our guns and shot/shoots with me. I am a blessed man. Polecat

I had a real good looking young girlfriend some years ago, and the future was looking bright for us. One day she looked in my gun room, which only contained a fraction of what I own. She put her hands on her hips, made a nasty frown, and asked, "How many guns do you NEED?" I told her, "None"

A short time later I mentioned something about the 30 or so guitars I owned, and she asked the same question, but with regard to guitars. I replied with the same answer.

A short time later she informed me that she wasn't sure if she wanted to continue or not with our relationship. I thought about it for a little while and told her I have now had enough of her ******** to last me for the rest of my life, and to not contact me ever again for any reason.

Dodged another bullet!

Good on you, the question is. DID she LEARN ANYTHING.
bUZZ

now son... if you can't tell your partner, your best friend and your lover that you bought something just for the simple pleasure that its possession brings, then you should have spent the money on a marriage councilor or a good divorce attorney.

by the gun, bring it home, and tell her that if she won't let you use her sewing machine, you won't let her shoot the new toy.

 

[Boston Bill]

My wife just says "Buy it if you want it! You are too old to care!"

Mine just says to buy it if you want it. Now I tell her I want to sell something and she says no!

 

[Boston Bill]

oh but the quality of that short life could improve dramatically with some patience lol.
I usually just divide the price of the item by the number of weeks when I want to get it, and just save X amount every week. So if he wants it in 6 months and its a 2k rifle, thats $83 a week he should put in an account, I would think no wife on earth would complain about such a sensible arrangement.

ex #2 didn't care. She said she can pay another bill with it.

 

[JCKelly]

I'm OK, but my Lady is in error abut the number of bedrooms in our house. She thinks 3, I would say 2. The difference in our views comes from a room lined with you-know what on the walls. Including rifles from Dad, Grand-Dad and Great-Great-Grand-Dad. And some stuff from Great-Grand-Dad's time in Mr. Lincoln's army.
Did I mention I'm a 5th generation pack -rat?

 

[vintovka]

Mine just says to buy it if you want it. Now I tell her I want to sell something and she says no!

Mines exactly opposite!! Weird!!
