Well, I did it !

Put me on your testament before telling her!

Apparently/allegedly I have possibly/maybe heard about some people using this method to explain recent purhaces if "she who must be obeyed" comes into your work area/shop/room and spots something new and she is not sure if it is new or not, and she asks about it ,just say  'oh that, i've had that for months! 

If you belong to a club... keep the stuff in the car til the next meeting and walk in the house afterward with a big smile and say. “HEY hon… look what I WON!”

LOL all, It all should come here by this Friday, Monday at the latest. So if no one hears from me by Tuseday, I am DEAD  hehehhehe

I wish there was a club near me.

Wish my LUCK............................ I am going to need it

Bud

Don't worry! She won't kill ya. She'll just go and put as much on the credit card as you did. Mine does!!

Remember that you must be kept alive to smash bugs and find out what that noise was.  Maybe you'll be sleeping where the noises usually come from (livingroom) or practicing your cooking.  There will definitely be words.  My wife is well aware of all the stuff I have so that if something new shows up she knows that she needs to make me suffer.  Fortunately, I still keep large amouts of things at my parents house.  They have space and I live in a tiny apt and she might be able to see me type this so I must be quick.  So when we visit I usually have the order placed strategically so arrival occurs during our absence and the package is delivered to the office.  I retrieve the package when the moment is right.  Later, I claim that I brought it back from my parents when we visit.  Hasn't failed yet.  The store purchases work in a similar way.  Inside the truck is a cooler.  The cooler is sometimes in the car for groceries and sometimes in the closet empty.  The cooler is just big enough to hold three 1/35 kits.  Using clever distractions I can maneuver the kits from place to place.  This is very dangerous and only occurs around the visits as well.

I just say - "I used my lunch money and got a good deal on it". If that doesn't go over to good, I'll throw this at her - "I can always go back to drinking, fast cars, and fast woman". At that point, I'm either sleeping on the sofa with my new purchase or in my camper [fancy dog house hehe]. Either way, I won because I get to keep my new purchase. 

Just tell her that its cheaper than a mistress  

LOL...... glad to know we all face the same things.

A few years ago, I'd gotten a promotion, and my wife really started telling me how she thought it would help if I had a Palm Pilot to organize my stuff. She thoroughly convinced me, and so went down to BestCircuitBuyCityShackMart and picked one up.

The next weekend we're in the mall and she's showing me this diamond wrap for her engagement ring. I said "Is it expensive?"

"No", she replied.

"It costs the same amount as your Palm Pilot."

BAM! Set up!

I know how you can get the expenditure for your A/B set up to go by smoothly. When you bring it in the house, drape it in jewelry.

"Look what was stuck underneath this diamond bracelet honey!"

My wife is laughing sooooooo hard at these.  Well played, gentlemen!  Well played!  

But she did say something that made me stop and stare at her for her insight:  "Well, when you think about it, I'd rather pay that money to your hobby store than to a therapist.  After all.  This -is- your stress relief."

I love her and thank god for her daily.

Chimera, ask her if she would Marry me too, LOL

All fun and games aside. I bought the 3 things I started this topic with. and I had to all planed out. " See that's were I went worng " I was babysitting a friends kid for the summer. Same ages as my kids. And I was going to use that money to pay off my VISA with before my wife saw it. Well the kids were NOT getting along and my friends said it would be better if we took her to a camp or something. I said OK np and that I was sorry. WELL now I have the 3 items and NO WAY to pay off my VISA :(:(  hehehhehehe

Don't that beet all.

Bud

 

 

Yes, and soon she'll beat you!

Could care less about the beating hehe, but all the YELLING, that's the part I don't like

Bud

Tell me about it.  Although it's the 3 day glare that I don't like.

Well right now the wife is working and UPS just droped out the Omni 4000 A/B and the Peace Keeper Deluxe Spray Booth and I am just watting on the Scorpion II Compressor.

I put the Spray Booth down in the basement in the VERY back room that has a window. I HOPE she don't see it yet, at lest till I can pay for it  LOL

I will let y'll know when I get kicked out  hehhe

Bud

 

 

 

 

 

 

So how are you going to explain to her where they come from when you get this set up.Seems to me it would be easier to just tell her up front what you plan to buy. Thankfully I don't have that problem as my wife fully supports my hobby and shows interest in what I do. One thing you may have to do is set up a cot in the room with it
BTW have fun with the new setup and happy painting

Well right now my wife works from about 12pm to 8pm most days so I can use it when she is not home. As for telling her............................................... We live from check to check as a lot of people do. I can't ever get 10.00 a month from her. I get NO MONEY at all from her :( sad I know. I have Rheumatoid Arthriits and have not worked in about 14 years, but I do get monet from SSD. But that all gos to paying the bills.

I was thinking " BAD IDEA, I know " I can get some cash up to pay the 1st 2 or 3 months from the VISA. and maybe I can get a under the table job when school starts up again and pay off that bill :):)

I do want to thank all of you, all the posts I have read here is making me laugh.... and I needed that

Bud

Well that's it " SHE KNOWS " and OMG and WOW she did not YELL at me.  Hmmmmmm maybe she will kill me in my sleep  hehehhehhehe

Bud

Well now that its out in the open you gotta get busy using them!!!
Happy Painting

Sorry, fellas, I just cannot understand this 'my wife is going to kill me if she finds out' mentality.  My wife never questions what I buy for my enjoyment.  Nor do I question what she buys on sale at Kohl's on a Saturday afternoon.  Stop feeling guilty, go buy the darn thing, and be up front with her.   

It's not that she mines me building models, she just don't like spending money LOL

OK I have it all set up now so here it is.......

Bud

......It's....... it's.........beautiful.......

That is the purdiest booth i think i've ever seen......

Well worth the possible attack in your sleep.

LOL thanks

And after I got this I started sleeping with 1 eye open hehehhehe

Have a GREAT day

Bud

Awesome Bud! Just awesome.... Just make sure to have the super glue handy just incase  ya need to glue her feet to the floor

Bud,

I'm jealous......... My work station is just one big desk, which I do many different things on it.  I need to get a work station specifically for building models......

I'm one of those people who has posted "my wife is going to kill me if she finds out."  Anyway, you seem to have a very nice wife. 

It is not because I'm afraid of her or trying to lie to her, but because I'm buying more than I am building, I feel guilty about it.  My wife never questions about me buying things for my enjoyment and she is very supporative of my hobbies (she comes to shooting ranges, fishing trips, camping, hiking and kayaking with me all the time) and she seats next to me and do her own things while I build my models.  Problem is, I can't be up front with her every week and say "Honey, I just bought another 10 kits off of Ebay and I got a great deal!"  Now, I have problem with purchasing habit and this is something that I need to work on.  I can't be bidding on stuff on ebay because it is a good deal or it is one of a kind.  I need a professional help!

See with my wife it's all difrent. 1st I don't think she cares about my hobby and if I have to spend 3 bucks on 1 bottle of paint she yells. Money is tight like everyone esle but come on 3 bucks LOL

Bud

That is really nice Bud. Where did you order the booth from?
