Forgiveness is easier to obtain than permission.

This strategy works... I bought Mrs. ~t~ a 75th Anniversary worm drive Skilsaw one year for Christmas... she opened it, said thanks, and told me I could use it anytime I wanted.

It could of been one of our team. We are "The Heavy Smokers" and had the Designated Smoking Area signs hanging up in our tent.

It's heartening to know there is light at the end of my very dark tunnel....

It had all the options and the total cost of everything new was over $2000. My buddy said I should do it but I remembered my pledge to my wife not to buy any more smokers and walked away. No regrets. I'm 66 and finally growing up! Wouldn't have happened 5 years ago.

great job walking away man.
in my line of work one thing I see that still never ceases to amaze me is that many rich people Ive come in contact with live like they are poor and many poor people live like they are rich.

Funny story, my wife said to me the other night that I have grown up allot in the last few years. She was referring to what you had just said. I spent allot of money over the years, however on big ticket toys. I have gotten to the point that things don’t make you happy, family does. (Sometimes Hehe) However I would have bought grill!

EdF · 03-07-2018, 11:59 AM

My wife would have bogarted the Skilsaw - even though she already has three!

Lordkifar · 03-08-2018, 12:27 PM

Sir, you are a better man than me....I would have told the sales guy to just take my money

Of course...then hope my wife doesn't kill me when I get home.

Craigslist Ad:

"New/Used Primo. Purchased grill & all accessories for $2,000. Pissed off wife. Cooked on it once, wife was so mad she wouldn't eat. Need to sell ASAP. $1,800 or best offer."

Come off it a bit and sell for no less than $1,500. That was a deal.

Good for you. I ended a marriage by buying my ex-wife a lawn mower for Christmas. I decided I'm better at buying gifts for myself.. :)
