230 reef

:rolleyes: Men have so much to learn........The only one on here that would even begin to work is Sea Devils idea. A leak on the carpet for a woman is a BIG deal !! That would definately get results and I mean quick yeah she might be a little mad about it but since it really isnt your fault she will get over it. Pelagic magic is playing with fire, your gonna get burnt. Women think what is good for you is good for them, mark my words one day you are gonna bring home the wrong thing and the war will be on. Women are good at war trust me ;) you wont even know what hit you. It's even worse when its silent but deadly. My advise is to think about the punishment you'll get and then decide if those coke machines are worth all that. This is how I deal with my husband, it is kinda funny cause I am the one who likes cars and fish. I have a big advantage though........I can wash his truck in a bikini and cook a steak dinner or pot roast- pretty much that covers just about anything I want. I like Sea Devils ideas - no effort and great results !!

Now that's a womens perspective. Carrie how do you feel about this quote, " it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission" ? I kind of live by this.
 
I digress. Try leak test if failure then move to Plan "B"...Brain washing. Or Whatever works. Just dont pawn your wedding ring, did that once...Big mistake I needed quick money for a frag sale lol....Pay day I got it out and she wasnt too happy. Well lets just say I wasnt out of the dog house for months. LOl...I dont recommend that last one. They take that one personal. Beside I hate cooking and cleaning up after myself. However she realized how much the hobby meant to me and was more forgiving in the future towards other purchases so I took a victory over all on that one but Less I have a Lawyer on retainer I wont be trying that stunt again. I think I dodged a bullet somewhere there too. My wife is 5'1 100 lbs and Im 6'1 270 but she can drop me like a ton of bricks with a low grab and I know it ...........
 
:lol: too funny. Heres my tip of the day: Women are not hysterical, they are historical, try and keep the peace by not repeating history because we have real good memories of bad history.
For God's sakes Biggie what were you thinking??? People pawn tools or TV's but NOT the wedding ring :eek2: the ring is supposed to be the ball and chain, it is like a dog marking their territory. Honestly this is what every women is thinking while saying the vows......Oh yeah, he will be wearing MY ring.
It is definately not what the men are thinking, see this is how we always win ;)

For this I agree. Before the second foot hits the tile shes eye'd up that finger for the ring since then. It was a sale. I didnt have my ATM card on me. Yea yea no excuse I know. Its not like I left it in Hock. I got it right back out 2 days later. Did she understand this ...No she didnt care. To me material assests are not assets they are just items to be bought and sold. However that one thing is like a linch pin to mess with so I was young and stupid and Ive learned. She told my mom too. Sheesh. I got bashed by my mom for that one...Dad laughed cuz he knew I was gonna get it.. Not what men are thinking is correct it was a piece of jewerly of which I dont wear much of anyhow, so I was like ok heres something I can get a few bucks for right now and get those frags and If I keep my hand in my pocket she wont even notice. Wrong.. Soon as I reached for the salt and pepper at the dinner table...Busted. I choked that steak down and hit the garage like a sculded dog to think about what Id done. But when I got to the garage there was my Harley shining like a diamond and I swallowed up my pride and convinced myself Id done a good thing lol...You see even in this moment of contemplation I managed to pull out some self worth and had the stones to go right back in and dig the hole deeper yet lol...
 
Well I see my favorite sticker on this same car all the time and it reads:
"if only my wife and girlfriend would just get along"

:)
 
Well My idea worked well for me.....I took her out to dinner (Without kids) and fed her some tequilla (I heard it makes her clothes fall off) and I got what I wanted. :P

Bad idea Keri, with that plan my wife would know somethings up. I've been with my wife 12 years, what I'm fixin to tell you, I can say, because my wife doesn't go on the forums. Here's what you do Tom. Everyday pour some water on the carpet behind the tank or under the stand, not a lot, but enough to be noticed. Do this everyday, after a week or two increase the spillage. During this time you need to be looking for a "LEAK". You also need to raise the concern level that the tank "MAY BE LEAKING ON A SEAM", on the bottom. It's like fishing in a stocked pond. Once she's hooked, reel her in. Honey, I think "WE" need to replace the tank before it comes apart, floods the house & we lose everthing in the tank. Then you get the tank you want & tell her what a great deal it was & you couldn't pass it up. There may be a bonus here if that plan works. Sell the "leaking" tank, use the money to get more stuff. When questioned about the sale of tank, you respond with," I sold it to a guy that has a lizard"

Now wait just a second.... I seem to remember this quote from one of our infamous female reef keepers!

"LOL Wish I had something I could trade him for it! Hmmm ... maybe Keri's car?"

I remember that statement well!!! LOL!!!!!

Now THAT'S how you get a bigger tank!!!

(I know you didn't trade the car!!)
 
I knew Keri was talking out of his #*%. You Canadians are just to smart for all of that. My mom is 100% north of the border "A". Never got much over on her. "A"

This is true. My mom is like that too. If Keri tried telling me there was a leak, I'd be the one looking the tank over to see where the leak was. I have a tendancy not to believe things unless I see them with my own eyes.:rolleye1: AND.... it's "Eh?"

Traditional Catholic wedding, 250 attended. For the reception, rented a hall, close to 300 showed up. Hired our favorite local band. Full bar complete with bartender. Even had an off duty cop. We never added up the receipts, but the wife says it was close to 40k.
