The Secret to Getting your next ProVari

[amanda211]

First, wait until your significant other has what he has been waiting for for six or more months (PS4). Then remind him of his promise to get you another one for Christmas and you just happen to already have it ready to go in your cart. Next, casually throw in a few extras (350 and 490 batteries, a SS extended cap, the usual). Finally wait until he's very engrossed in his racing game and nonchalantly ask for his card. Hey, it worked for me! And I am not ashamed. Now to wait for the vape mail with my new black mini!

That's dirty pool!




Well done.

Did you memorize the card number?

I'm waiting to see what's up with the "sweet deal" so I'm stubbornly waiting for some kind of announcement.

My wife would just use her own card and then wait for me to find the charge a day or two later and use the old "remember I told you I was going to get that a month ago".

Hey, whatever works....

Sorry Big, I'm not that devious. We have 3 accounts in our household; his, mine, and ours. So unfortunately I can't pull that one. Thankfully actually, since if I tried that he'd probably blow a gasket!

Learned my lesson a while back when I question a charge she made on a credit card (BIG MISTAKE!!) and this was her answer: " I'm your wife, the mother of your kids, I work full time just like you do, I get out of work and my job does not end there, I get home and I have to cook for you and the kids, take care of our kids, do the homework with them, wash everyone's clothes, attend PBA and ROTC meetings which you are to lazy to go, Go with you to every Drag race event without any complaints, I don't question what you spend on your race car and you are questioning a charge I made on a credit card?". Needless to say, I got my rear end on the laptop and order her a Mini Zombie Provari ( she already had a red mini), IBtanked and Phiniac tank and spend the rest of the week in THE DOG HOUSE!!!. NEVER AGAIN!!

Susan, something tells me we're both gonna be saying, "Dagnabit, I should have pulled the trigger [insert timeframe here] ago!"

I always get a kick out of this kind of story, the hers-his-ours kind and the thought/plotting that goes into working them. The "game on" aspect!
Some of them don't give up anything to International cloak and dagger espionage in the planning and execution either.

We only had the "ours" in our relationship when it came to money, with an individual spending ceiling that continually increased over the years as our net worth did. Either could buy whatever they wanted/needed up to that ceiling without prior discussion. The main hers-his-ours thing with us was vacations.... we did them together, and we each did at least one of them a year apart to follow our own interests.

Yeah but she doesn't use a credit card since we swore those off a long time ago. My wife doesn't work and our kids are grown and have started their own families and I couldn't drag mine to a football game or out to the woods if her life depended on it.

At my age she may have told me she was going to buy something a month ago and I probably forgot or wasn't listening to her in the first place.

I really need to get my boyfriend into video games.

We do something similar. My trips involve extended periods of time in the woods during hunting season and hers involve going to see the oldest in Houston so she can visit the grand kids. Then we take a trip during the summer, which usually ends up being a beach somewhere. Although this summer we're going to finally take a cruise that we've talked about for years.

I understand those that can do the only "ours" accounts, and I commend them for it. But my hubby and I are both compulsive buyers, so it prevents a lot of arguments when it comes to money. I have my spending money, he has his, and we have the joint for bills, with attached savings that is off limits. It works well for us, and if it stops fights, I'm all for it! Unfortunately the finance classes we attended only helped so far. We decided we are lost causes and this was the most feasible idea for us. It has worked great so far...especially when it comes to the holidays because the other has no idea what or where something was purchased.

I hope it's not a let down. I really do want a white with red splats, though I think it's only going to be a 10% discount. Still, it's something.

Susan, I hope they do come out with a white/red splattered one for you. I did see that the Cherry is on sale as a Holiday Special though. Maybe get a polished and a Cherry? You could always do a red with white splatters...there's gotta be a company that can do that for you!

 

[Nermal]

. . . in THE DOG HOUSE!!!. NEVER AGAIN!!

Ain't that just the cotton-pickin' truth, Mario. Give a woman food for the table, a roof over her head, and eight beautiful children. Think she's going to be satisfied? NOT.

 

[Susan W.]

If they don't, that's okay. I probably should get a silver satin one since I already have the purple. I'm too lazy to try to figure out how to get white spatters.
