I have a confession to make

[jimcasey01]

Was talking to the wife in early spring. Said I was thinking of selling my FJ-40 to fund an F-class rifle. She said that isn't going to happen and wrote the check for my green mistress.
Does the mean she is contributing to my addiction?

Yes, she is an enabler!

Bless her heart!

as if I did not tempt fate with the Dodge; let me relate Part II.

A couple years later (about a week after Thanksgiving, 2008) she went to this big fedguv thingie in Baltimore to give a one year followup keynote address to some new regulations that were tested in Idaho.
I go to some of these, but the USPS had just retired me due to my third surgery related to my favorite souvenir from three tours in RVN; Agent Orange.

I take the Dodge to the airport to pick her and her staff, then drop them off at their office and head home. As we pull into the driveway, I hit the garage door opener. She looks into the garage and there is this used Jaguar XK-8 convertible sitting in there. Yes, eight years old, but still a shape similar to the original XK-E's. Beautiful car, Anthracite Gray. A friend from church is a salesman at the Jag dealer. He set me up with a super price.

It took a little longer to work out the details on that one...

I am still married, and I still have the car.

Thank You Lord.

gotta die of something...

Well, reading this thread I realize that I might not be T.H.E. luckiest man in the world...but I really feel like I am in the top three!!!
This is a true story:
Wife goes to visit MIL in Florida. While there her mother takes her to a local gunshop in Ocala. Wife wants to get me a little something so she asks the guy and he {not wanting to miss this opportunity} promptly sells her a special Leatherman tool for AR-15's called a Mutt and it costs almost $200.00!!
Now I don't much care for AR's.
MIL cannot stand to be outdone, so she gets me a really nice case for an AR that was a little over $200.00. Wifey cannot have "another woman" {even if it is her own mother} outdo her in regards to her man, so she then buys me an M-4 with a "one of a kind" blue anodized upper and lower. MIL patiently waits until the very next Christmas and presents me with a Larue OBR new in the case with a Vortex scope, looks at her daughter and says, "top that!!!"
I encourage them to fight over me as often as I can!!!!!!!

Yowza! Does your wife have any unattached sisters?

I told my son (in front of his wife) just go buy it, the yelling will stop in about three days. The next time it will stop in two days and then the next time'S you will hear nothing. I tried to appease my first wife and I could never catch up. The second wife is a jem. I don't even think twice about buying anything but then I consider myself sensible. I tell her ( about once a month) that I am so lucky to have her in my life. Seams to be more meaningful than "I love you". I tell her fairly often that she doesn't have to worry about my messing around as I have no intension of f----ky myself out of her. Oh did I mention that my collection of custom guns continues to grow unabated.

Its like once a month... hmmm... I get my azz chewed out for doing nothing.... and sometimes because I did nothing... Now we are prego and shit dont just hit the fan, it hits every wall in the house too!

Its eye opening and wow's me... its like honey... all that yelling just because you spilt water on the counter?... Women are so different then men its mind boggling..

I’m telling you how ever bad you think her emotions are prego is.... times it by 10 for the first month after the kid is here... I didn’t believe it when ppl told me ... now he’s 6 months ... and I’m a believer ... it turns into “ you don’t care about us you just care about your guns and what might come up for sale on YOUR website” ( like I own the site is how she can make it sound) all this after maybe reloading for a couple hours a week before work and maybe shooting once every two weeks at this point ... but it’s getting easier as he gets a little older already .... but also know sniper .. it gets easier ... after the first 2 weeks your going to pass out when you sit down for a minute wake up and say wtf was I thinking... it gets easier....

Most of the time she is very good about shooting ... luckily I Farm and have plenty of room to shoot on our property so I don’t have to travel to shoot ... if I leave the house ... can be shooting inside 10 min...

But like many of you I mention a new gun” you don’t need a new damn gun .. you just bought one last year ( if it was that long ago) what’s wrong with that one? “ ME:” nothing ... this one is just different ... “ HER :” it’s not the gun that bothers me .. it’s I know a scope is following it .. why can’t you go back to trap shooting ... that was just guns.... if it’s a really good deal ( it usually is ) but than you have to wait for a scope” ME :” deal” bc she usually gives in easier on the scope because otherwise the gun is just sitting haha....

Gotta love marriage ..... most days

Yes it is...and it's also one that I practiced until I was 35 years old and found the one I have now. I was a happy bachelor for a right good while. Still happy, just in a "different" way!!

You guys are being too nice. Tell him what it will be like when the wife is going through menopause and the kids are going through puberty at the same time. Way too many hormones flying around. Even worse if the children are all girls.
