Lying to my wife

As someone who puts high value on the proper reading and quoting of posts, I invite you to point out where I say these words.

It's very wonderful, actually. Thanks for asking!

It's simple logic. A person only lies to someone they don't think deserves the truth. That's disrespect in my book.

No one cares about "your book". You misrepresented it as a direct quote, among other fabrications. You're not only annoying, uptight, and full of yourself, you also make things up as you go along.

HMMMM I only lie when it's an emergency!!! Eddie Fulmer

Further proof that you have wasted your education and have faulty values really was not necessary. I guess you don't care that there are children that read this newsgroup when you use foul language. Or are you another one of those that contends this hobby is only for the ancient?

Hi

I know somebody who found out by accident that his wife was buying him "that kit he had always wanted" for Chistmas. Quick as a flash he was down the hobby store to buy the expensive engine he had always wanted but couldn't justify to his wife - and persuaded the hobby shop owner to put it in the kit box.

Christmas day arrived and he opened his present, expressed suitable "surprise" and said, "Look dear. It even comes with an engine. I don't have to buy one to suit"

Actually, I once had the opposite experience. I lost my job and as Christmas was approaching, my wife offered to buy me the large

4-stroke engine I had been about to buy. I declined the offer which completely baffled here as she knew that I really lusted after the engine. In truth, there was no way I dare let her find out how much it cost.

Life's a bummer sometimes. 8^)

Hi

I used to own a hobby shop in the mid to late 1970s (I closed it in

1981). For some strange reason, my wife doesn't seem to think that prices for model gear have changed since then.

She once came home, having bought herself a fairly modest camera - then burst into tears. When I asked why she was crying, she sobbed "I feel so guilty. This one camera probably cost more than ALL your model gear put together." I kept a straight face and - feeling a complete bas##rd - suggested that perhaps I could make her feel better if I went out and bought a couple of kits!!!! 8^)

HA! :::giggle::: Ive mastered it. I even unpack new purchases at the shop, smear some greasy dust on it from the wheelwell of my car, throw away the package in the store. If she asks, i say "Ive had this ol' thing for years"

Pay cash, always destroy the receipt. Ive never really had to return anything anyway, but its a chance i take....

You know, one thing I learned when I was a kid...you lie, you have to remember it for the rest of your life. You can "never" forget it.

Tell the truth up front and you can forget about it.

I've been lucky as far as wifes go:)

Shortly after she told me that I really needed something besides a coffee table to build on in our one bedroom apartment and encouraged me to get a shelving unit and bench from Ikea and install a workshop across the main wall (table under window) of our living room, I asked her to marry me :):)

At first she thought that my LOGO 20 was worth, oh, $50:) I confess that for awhile I would try to hush any conversations within earshot of her regarding how much it cost, or worse, "how expensive those things were". Not that there would have been any real problem. We laugh about it now.

Cheers!

I have not wasted my education. I have a good career and a loving family, and I give back to my community in many ways. I also do not believe this hobby is for the "ancient", as I am only 28 years old myself. The fact that you are willing to judge me so completely based upon my outburst due to being deeply offended, and for no reason, says more about you than it does about me. Anyone who dares resort to a bit of profanity even once in their life is void of values and morals? That is a silly and ridiculous stance. Judged by that yardstick, 99.9% of us would be cast out. Tell me, o judge with a stone in your hand, are you clean of profane words since birth? You are apparently as full of yourself as DR1Driver.

I have some information that has been denied you. The observation about your education and values came from a 12 year old observer who walked in and was reading over my shoulder, NOT me. Enjoy being the fine example of smart all knowing and all seeing humanity you make.

A very nice dodge.

You may want to inform your 12 year old observer that blanket judgements are a very bad idea. Based on this, a man who trips must always be a complete clutz. It's okay, you can't a expect a 12 year old to fully understand these things.

I don't have to. My wife earns eaven more money from work than I do. I don't ask about her new shues and she never ask me how much my survival-toys costs.

That has got to be the worst question to be asked by the wife "do i look fat in this??" The wife understands about weights and measures, so i just say "compared to what??" with that she get the hump and i go flying ;) The other night she asked what was on the telly and as a joke i said "dust".........didnt talk to me for 3 days!!

Silence is golden ;)

My wife knows when i'm lying about heli stuff!!........................ my lips are moving!!

anyway, but

Hey now!!!!! thats my little trick....dont copy off of me. :-)

You forgot to mention that you must hide them when you are just not sure if you left that reciept from the LHS in your wallet or got rid of it and its laundry day. ;-)

Also, I cheked out that S.P.A.D. sight that you mentioned.....cool sigt......I got some ideas a brewin now.
