Re: How do I explain *this* to the wife?...

You are so right David. My wife and I have an "arrangement." I
collect pinball machines, she redecorates the house, in which case, I
have to do most of the work. But that saves me more money to spend on
pinball machines. :-)

We've been "an item" for almost 35 years.....married for almost 28.

Make your pin feel like one of the family.

JDubbbs ways to spending with a bitching wife

1. never let her see your check stub
2. never keep the mad money stashed in your wallet unless your leaving
to go use it
3. never let her stand behind your back while striking deal thru IRC
4. never bookmark your post so she can see what your shoping for
5. never ask to buy a pin, be a man and just buy it, explain later
6. never give up your email account for pin dealings
7. never let her see your ebay account my ebay page
7. NEVER UNLOAD the new pin in front of a BITCHING WiFE


Now on to the work everytime excuses

1. Its on loan from John Doe
2. Im shopping it for John Doe
3. Jane Doe was pissed so i got it for a 1/4 price
4. Its for the kids birthday
5. I traded some spare parts for the pin with John Doe

If all else fails, these excuses will almost secure your new purchase

" What ya want me to do, take it back and pay a %30 restocking fee"

" Didnt know i could get a refund from a garage sale"

" Well ill just sell the ( insert her favorite title ) pin"

And last but not least, if she is still bitching, tell her " Here is
the dolly, you get it out from the basement" :o)

I know... its a wonder ive been married 14 years and still on the
first "bitching" wife :o)

Or you could sell a pin every now and then and give her your profit for her
own "mad money".

Been married for going on 38 years and still on the first wife.

I started out with nothing and still have most of that left.
