REO Shopping

I'm with ed101z on this one....not the evacuate part necessarily, but the "she's spotted it" part. She's figuring out what she can get out of the situation.....so don't act like you like it TOO much or she'll figure out how precious it really is and go for the big prize.

If you haven't figured it out yet....we women notice everything.....EVERYTHING. Sometimes we just don't show our hand until it's the right time.

OR.....she's noticed it, noticed how much you love it, realized how much she actually loves you, and has decided to let it slide. BUT....it could become a HUGE issue at any time in the future, so you'd better be on your best behavior for awhile......

A doghouse is a doghouse......might as well go big.

Well it took longer than I thought, but she finally noticed the woodvil today. She went on the porch for a smoke and I joined her. I was fiddling with the bottle making sure it was squonking ok (just adjusted the tube earlier today).
wife: "What's that? You get another wood one?" (the istick 20 I gave my nephew had a woodgrain wrap on it)
Me: "Yeah, I've had it a bit and it isn't a wrap like that other one, but it's all wood."
wife: "The red one (referring to my other Reo) isn't good enough anymore?"
me: "This is like an alternate/backup"
wife: "you gotta have spent at least $500 by now on this stuff, but you'll never tell me."

None of this was in anger, but I should keep moving forward on the home projects she wants to get done. Getting those two rooms painted this past month have gone a long way in the wife happiness column.
Oh, and $500.. LOL

Everytime hubby comes home with a new guitar stuff gets done around the house thereafter....

Your wife is lucky, Alawot. REOs? My beloved collects vintage Corvettes!

In the future, you could always try the "I bought it from a homeless guy. He was selling it cheap, so he could buy himself a meal" approach.
