  • Today marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11. I pray that this nation does not forget the loss of lives from this horrible event. Yesterday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered, and I worry about what is to come. Please love one another and your family in these trying times - Spark

Oooh, busted.....

Haha flowershop worked like a charm, she forgot all about the knives.

Started out cutting them with scissors, then grabbed my brand new toy, the 13 and said it was sharp and nice to use...

Whooohooo.......
 
Like I said before...my wife is not to fond of the name Becker! To her the name means spending money but damn does it feel good to spend it on something so satisfying :D
 
My wife is into horses ... so I guess I'm lucky in some respects. She can spend 100x what I spend - so there's never really any issues for my "toys".

She makes good money, it's her money, and if she wants to spend it on hay, grain, shavings, saddles, tack, vets, ferriers, etc. etc. etc. (lol)
that's her problem.

But, we both look at money as, "you can't take it with you" and life is short, enjoy it as much as you can.

The only time we have fun with each other over toys, is when one of finds out the other SOLD some thing :D

But even then it's really no worries, just mess with each other and try and get a free dinner out of it (LOL)

Nope. I'm upfront about my purchases. I don't care for sneaking around.

Ditto. I work hard, and A LOT. The young lady gets that the sight of a new knife keeps my head away from work and me sane. I lucked out she actually quite likes most of them. Used a bk11 to carve a pumpkin last year.
 
My wife dosen't even ask she just says "you received a package today". She knows it's a knife and I usually open it in front of her. The key is when she has a pile of purses or shoes just don't say a word.

I will now have to try and find some nice flowers or something on the way home to cool things down, HAHA...
Or maybe `should make things worse and just stay on the sofa tonight, with my new toys, LOL;)

Something like that might require stronger firepower than flowers. It might be jewelry time. :D

I've been single a while so I've never had to beg forgiveness. Luckily.
 
mmm, i'm not married, nor would i willing easily choose to if the wifey was going to get on my case for my hobbies.

i had enough of one gf deciding that my time was hers, and i saw the writing (contract, blood) that soon my space, and stuff, and money would be part of her decisons are final strategy (my job would be to support her empire i guess)... uhm no. almost nothing is worth that.

good luck you guys...
 
But it sure feels good now, sitting in the sofa fondling (MY KNIVES), maybe I found the way to do this, just calculate some flowers into the price of every new knife I buy, HAHAHAHA
 
Mine is cool about it so far, but "what momma don't know won't hurt her"!!!! HAHAHAH Classic. But no she is cool about it, I have two boys so I say they will have them some day and she stays out of it. Plus I work like 50 plus hours a week so I'll be damn woman!!!

Atta boy!
 
Don't you make the bread and butter? When you get home and she starts in, go over to your chair and say: there's gonna be some changes with protocol here if you don't start shaping up. This conversation is over. Get me a beer. My wife worshiped me more than ever. You need to show em' who's boss. She will start buying you knives you didn't even ask for. Women love it when you take over and show them who the king of the castle is.

Not really married (currently) are ya? ;)
 
Actually yes I am and I have a son as well and expecting another child on the way. I was just joking about my comment up there...my wife would kill me. I do dream of doing that but I fear the wrath of the amazon.

When OT is up I binge on Amazon with the free shipping (I have Prime). During the summer its bad, because shed a teacher. I'll come home to several boxes on the counter and get "the look"....and can't use the "I traded for it" excuse.

I have to admit that I have gotten "the look" several times when a Midway, Cheaper than dirt or Amazon box shows up..... I feel your pain brother!

i've a friend with prime, and he uses it for EVERYTHING. wifey knows he's "saving money" by getting best prices, no shipping, not wasting gas, and all that.

more importantly: EVERYTHING... faucets. washers. screws. hammers. random household stuff. wifey is invited to open whatever she likes. she got bored looking at stuff trying to catch her hubby :> course, he mixes it up. sometimes. randomly :) plus, if he's found? it's for the garden/whatever. he's just not excessive.

the OTHER guy i know? his wife critiques EVERYTHING... did you fill the car ALL the way up? or WHY did you DO THAT? never the same twice. can't win. he has his own funds. he also has his own mail drop. plus he has a buddy that stuff gets sent to or the office. he's the honey badger. he's stopped giving a crap :) i don't see that lasting more than a few more years unless she traps him with a baby.

mmm
 
I get the text mssg, "a package for you" , everytime something comes. After almost 20 years, she knows the score, but then so do I.
