Feeling Low

[HOUSTON RICK]

There was a time when I could buy a gun every so often and not be exiled to the coach, but with both kids in college, I was banished tonight for buying a magazine at the gun show today. It was worth it though because it was an S&W factory mag for my S&W Model 3913 for $40. Sleeping on the coach is like camping out, and the TV is bigger.

Never happen at my house. If she's mad enough to refuse to share our bed with me SHE can sleep on the couch. I'm not the one who's mad...

Opie Taylor called it "adventure sleepin'".

Not really a problem it is a comfortable sleeper sofa, just that I am monitored so closely these days.

Tell her she cannot come to the gun shows any more because it fouls up the gas mileage on your vehicle. That way you dodge the monitoring.

I don't have that problem anymore. All three of them are dead.

Her mother and both of her grandmothers made it to 94. Only the good die young.

Ours is a water-bed, so there isn't a sofa in the whole wide world that compares!
As for being monitored, that is a non-issue. I get my "allowance' that I save up to have a "mad money" fund.
If I want to buy something that isn't in the budget, and therefore might cause an argument, I buy it out of my mad money fund and then there is no reason for an argument. Or even a discussion for that matter.

You are still in the house, food, warm and big TV. So little sacrifice for a new magazine. The making up has benefits.

A guy that I worked with was in the hospital and I sent him a card that said DON'T WORRY, ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG. He didn't think it was funny and he chewed me out. I wouldn't let the wife read that post. What have you done that caused this close monitoring. They say confession is good for the soul.

Mad is mad. Next time buy a gun and several mags; make your couch surfing sentence worth it. I’d be on the couch with a Clint Eastwood flick helping him shoot the bad guys with my new heat.

Shoulda bought an expensive pistol. Might as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb, as they say.

Aaargh, debit cards. Got one recently to stop carrying a lot of cash. She knows what I spend before I get home. Joe

I've been blessed with a good wife. As long as the bills are paid, extra paid on the principal each month I can buy within reason without a question asked. We joke about this, I get all of the texts from every penny put on the CCs as she doesn't want to be burdened with watching the accounts. I've not bought anything that she didn't know about.

We buy guns for each other. No need to get permission or hide anything. Problem solved.

I feel sorry for some of you guys. My wife doesn't care what I buy or sell. If fact she helped me sell a couple awhile back.

Posts like this make me appreciate my wife that much more,

My wife and I both worked jobs and earned our own money until the age of 60. Since this was both our second marriages, ( and both our first spouses took all the money in joint accounts), we have always kept our finances separate. She doesn't give me grief about what I buy, nor I her. It's worked out well for 36 years so far.

Funny. As of now I'm debating between a new python(i have an old one) or a Swarovski Z5 scope or a Meopta R5 scope. When you sell a gun or 2(IT IS LAW) that you invest said funds in another gun or gun accessory.....If you don't that $$$ will just dribble away.

We have separate bank accounts, only 'cause when I was working I joined the credit union. Used to be I had to trade a gun in or sell one if I wanted a new one. The question of money never came up. Now I just buy what I want & she doesn't even know. I'm going to start selling some off in the near future. It'll be easy, as I don't have a whole arsenal here like many people do. Our bills are paid so it's all good.
