Wife's are like a new engine, they MUST be broken in properly
|
I spent a weekend last summer with some friends on their houseboat and he told me he just converts everything into "boat units" with one boat unit equaling $1000. It just sounds better to tell her he's got to spend another 5 boat units on something.

My wife is cool about it she likes sewing and quilting so I let her buy her things like a 4 k sewing machine and we are good lol Its all good She loves the ride and gives the fam something to do together {come on summer}
|
You guys are cracking me up!!
Yeah...I hear it too. She DID pay for half the boat when we bought it so that was great AND she does mention things about it that she wants US to change! It's okay if it's that stuff we are messing with BUT...I was warned that it runs awesome so I better leave the motor alone!! She has a point I suppose."If it aint broke...blah, blah, blah!" We live in 2 different houses right now (not married yet) so money is tighter (for me). Maybe once we get under one roof and 2 incomes it won't be so bad??? Maybe??????? LOl! |

It's called drop a zero. If it cost $10,000.. it was $1,000 If it cost $5,000 .. it was $500 Since zero is nothing... I'm not really lying, it's more of a fib for her own protection. If she know what i really spent she would have a heart attack. We would have matching Defibrillators at the very least! This if for her own good! It makes me feel good that I am so concerned with here health :drink: I almost forgot!! I also you "I traded some stuff for it". Money is stuff, isn't it? |
just remember ...HAPPY WIFE..HAPPY LIFE...

If my wife ever did complain I would just take her out for a bowl of soup and a baked potato.:party-smiley-004:

My wife will make the coments but at the same time she knows how much boating means to me...
I've threatened to sell a few times and she's usually the one talking some sense into me. :) We work well together, she keeps me balanced (mentally and also my check book). :) At this point I just want the kids to grow up so I can go boating with my wife more often. |
