OT. Wives

Steve,

Nice!

Take care of her; you don't realize how good they are to us until they are gone.

Yup, I agree, I have had a few wives and I didn't realize how good it was till they were gone.

As Sondheim's great line goes, "It's not so hard being married. I've done it three or four times."

My wife is the exact same.

Let me guess, you get so excited about a great deal you got, and you HAVE to tell her cause you love her and want her to experience it to, so you start the conversation ff with, "I know you don't care but...."



Yep, I know exactly what you are experiencing.

My wife doesn't just buy me stuff on her own due to the fact she doesnt know what I already have. But what she does do is look thru our "Watch List" on EBAY and tells me on Birthdays, Christmas, Valentine's, Etc... that I can get them.
Also, she just, this last weekend, got her incentive check, and told me I can take $100 and buy what I want. She is in Branson right now, so when she gets back, i will verify AND GO SHOPPING!!!!

You and I are pretty lucky huh!

My ex......always thought I had enough and didn't need to keep spending money, but 30 pairs of shoes in the closet were never enough, and I did love to point out the many clothes she had hanging that still had all the tags on these.

Thus she is my ex, and I still have my stuff.

Board members here have some very nice wives.

Mine couldn't care less about bb cards, but she does tolerate me. I get the look, the exhale and hip shift as she listens.

About a year ago I was kinda upset about an ebay seller listing a 1915 CJ as a 1914 who wouldn't change the ad. I was complaining as usual and my wife looked at me and spit out the two major differences in the 2 years and I almost cried I was so proud...she even rolled her eyes when saying it like it was something everyone should know. We got a bunch of keepers here.

That is so funny...I could have posted that word for word...


I got a good one as well...she has always been supportive and on holidays/birthdays always asks for a few "wish cards" and does her best. I know I've mentioned this hear a few times but the day I turned over the profits from selling a 57 Topps set to pay for the adoption of our newest daughter was the day Baseball Cards now hold a place of respect in our house.
