Busted!

Wife heard message on machine from the engine builder saying he got my message that some information was missing on my new engine and that he would fax it to me. :eek: :lol: Oh well, just reminded her about those $800 dollar curtains she bought without telling me. :crazy: Laid down the law and that was that. :lol: :cheers:

It sure is easy to "lay down the law" when they are not looking. I am always hearing how her stuff cost a few $$$ and my Vette stuff cost a few hundred $$$ :eek:

Come a long way in seven years. When I first got married she said we should consult each other before any big purchases. I said fine, how much is a big purchase and she said 100 dollars. :lol: :crazy: :smash: :cheers:

Re: Busted! (mp77)

Time for me to count my blessings...my wife actually told me to trade in my old Harley on a new 2003, she also wants to finish our vette so bad that I actually have to stop her from buying all the parts at once and breaking us!

Re: Busted! (mp77)

I hope that laying down the law made you feel better. I know back in the olden days it made me feel better. Unfortunately it is a short term feeling.

I aint over till she thinks it's over. Worst case, she knows she has the body parts you desire so much.

You may end up enjoying that new engine more than you think. And that's O.K. :cheers:

Re: Busted! (joeveto)

My wife usually finds out these things when they hit the doorstep :rolleyes: . I guess it part of just being a man & feeling you shouldn't have to ask permission to spend YOUR $$$$. ;)

Now I hope she doesn't see this post :lol: !
