A nice wife and ending my light addiction ?

[Sarratt]

$200 for a light.

I beg my wife to give me anti-arguments to not buy.
To tell me that I don't need that light. but she,.. being the nicest of women ever,

simply says "if you decide that it's good, and you want it..then ....."

She knows both answers.


Wish I did

 

[StarHalo]

She says that knowing full well that there will eventually be a $200 pair of shoes, and she'll come to you..

 

[V8TOYTRUCK]

If she comes to you

Is the light really worth $200?

Anyway, a happy wife is a happy family!

 

[Black Rose]

I know how you feel Sarratt.

A few months ago my wife thought that my flashlight fascination was weird.

The other night the following scenario played out regarding the Fenix LD01 SS:

Me: Dear, take a look at this flashlight.
Wife: Wow, that's nice. How much?
Me: $60 CDN
Wife: That's not bad!!
Me: :thinking: thinking to myself "Who are you and what have you done with my wife?"

I didn't order the light as I keep wondering what the real cost would be

 

[nerdgineer]

It's not the wife, it's the kids and the list of things they will need (up to and possibly including a college education) which will eventually put the brakes on the $200 lights, unless you have a lot of $$, no kids, no plans for, or all of the above.

Meanwhile, enjoy...

For me, it is really not the $200 light in question, it is the next $80 light, and that new $120 after that, and another at $90, and so on. If I could only be content with one expensive light there would be no problem.

tough being of limited finances.

My strategy is to buy as many lights and knives as I can afford now before I meet the future Mrs. TJx

 

[Burgess]

Ooohhh, Honey (she says, sweetly)


If you sell a few of those Silly Flashlights of yours,

we'll have enough to put a Down Payment on some nice

Living Room Furniture.


How 'bout it, Sweetie ? :kiss:


You certainly don't need more than one or two flashlights !


Goodness, you don't even USE most of 'em !

Thats the great thing about flashlights, they hold their value pretty well and can be sold pretty easily.

Try selling a pair of once worn designer shoes/handbags/etc!

 

[tommyyu]

Happy wife,happy life

 

[adamlau]

Try selling a pair of once worn designer shoes...

There is a huge fetish market in Japan for just that. Sniff, sniff :naughty: ...

I tell all my friends this while they're single! Gather everything you want now!

That's the second thing I tell them: when asked what their collection of guns, knives, lights, etc is worth. Tell the woman, "not very much, which is why I'm going to go ahead and keep them."

I'm a HAM radio operator, and I almost always have a 2 METER fm with me. Just like lights, people make fun of it........until they are in need. Then my habit is important to the survival of everyone.
My wife teased me like I was stupid for eaves dropping on all those conversations until one day on the TV news, there was a lost girl. My wife was very interested in this. I knew exactly what frequencies that each local sheriff's department was on, and we listened to the police coordinate helicopters and the like. Bottom line, my wife got to hear it all as it happened and the girl was found within an hour, but the local news stations were still giving wrong info for two hours past them actually finding the girl.

Ask your wife for permission for some of us to buy new lights.

Hrmmm - wonder how much they'll pay for an old pair of workboots and maybe a pair of red-bands (real gumboots) :devil:

The answer my friends is to STAY SINGLE !!! :nana:

Them females are sure strange critters....

 

[chiphead]

I guess this is what my married friend refer to a"compromise" in a marriage?

chiphead...still single

 

[Burgess]

Yeah . . . .


A "compromise".



"Don't worry, Honey. You can still keep one or two of those flashlights. That's all you need, right ?"



"Yes, Dear"
