We're doing family Christmas gift suggestions and such last night and my wife wanted a hand-operated quilt cutting machine. Basically a roller that presses fabric down over a die and cuts the shapes. Anyway, runs about $250. I showed the kids and they got excited and we ordered it. She asks, "Honey, did you get my wish list?" (She had texted me the direct link to what she wanted.) "Yep, thanks dear." "What do you want? You're always so specific that you're hard to buy for." (annual observation) I told her, "I don't need anything. I sold a couple of guns and a set of binoculars last month and then bought the binocular that I've always wanted. It should be here this week." "Oh, great. So I don't have to buy you anything?" "Nope." "Thanks honey!" "How much was it?" "Some questions you don't want the answer to. Did you notice a big hit in the checkbook?" "No, I didn't see anything." "Exactly. Ignorance is bliss. Trust me." My Swarovski SLC binoculars will be here soon...

With the amount of shoes that get delivered to our doorstep, I have no problem with full transparency in what I buy.

My wife complained about my guns expenditures this week. I told her that when I die she will inherit plenty of money. She said she is looking forward to it.
I hope your conversation goes better.

I told my wife I'm going to use my bonus to go hunting in Africa. So then when I don't go, it sounds like a deal when I only spend a few thousand on a rifle. Probably works for glass to.

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

I always tell my wife" I just sold a bunch of stuff" when I bring something new home!!!! I do too. And it's almost always the truth. And remember Man Rule #42.8 "If you get it into the place of residence and it resides there, without comment, whether visible or concealed, for 48 hours, you have 'always had that'".

I bought some Binos, A Bushnell LRHS (used here on the fire), a Leupold GR spotter (used here on the fire), and some Kuiu gear (during the 30% off sale) over the last 2 weeks and was feeling pretty guilty. We took the boys down to the Gaylord Texas on Sunday to go to all the Christmas stuff there and then on the way home Monday my wife went to the Louis Vuitton store and got a new handbag. When they cost that much they are no longer referred to as purses. I feel much better now....and much worse....

Wife knows I don't sell anything.
Could care less what I buy as long as we have the cash to cover it. Same with her, I could care less.
We have to be careful when she wants a new gun and I want a new scope or such at the same time....
The last gun purchase was her glock 20, and then reloading stuff, case of ammo, tanker holster, 22 upper for the glock and well lets just stay its more than the 500 buck gun was for sure.... LOL
Of course she doesn't say a thing when I say we need acouple thousand more dollars of powder again etc....
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
