okay, it's official, I'm an RC addict...

[shiveley]

You guys are killing me, don't you realize that I can't pass up a good deal? Oh well, I guess my kids probably didn't really want to go to college anyway...

If this keeps up you're going to be seeing me on street corners with a "Will Work 4 Frags" sign.

 

[FunGuy]

I've got the solution... either grow some will power... or tell your wife every move you make... I bet you that will be enough incentive will slow down

 

[matttaylor]

I agree, if my wife knew about some of my purchases i'd be in real trouble, that and she always stops me from buying things at YR, i'm begining to think John runs and hides when i show up with the wife. At least i can count on Shiveley picking up something when i have something to sell!

 

[matttaylor]

This is Matt's wife.................Honey, you're in BIIIIIIIIGGGG trouble!!!! You know what you aren't getting any time soon, and Im not talking about fish or corals!!!

 

[shiveley]

luckily my wife hasn't shown any interest in browsing RC and doesn't know the real damage I have done to our bank account.

Wife- "Honey, where did this (insert new coral here) come from?"

Me - "Oh that, we've had that for ages, it's just been getting a lot bigger lately" or the ever popular "That was in the back of the tank, I just re-aquascaped "

Oh, and Herman, you just wait buddy. You'll be married soon enough, and then we'll see how popular your reefing expenses are with the Misses.

They're all hitchhikers in our tank. All of 'em.

 

[matttaylor]

Exactly, it just sprouted from the rock i swear.

 

[mpoletti]

Frag swap and traded are the two most common answers that come out of my hand, especially when she sees me come home with blue plastic bags from YR.

 

[matttaylor]

I usually leave the blue plastic bags in the car so she won't see them.

 

[bored4long]

LOL, you guys are too funny. I'm also married, so I'm taking notes...

 

[matttaylor]

Take very good notes, you'll need 'em.

 

[pv1191]

Matt,

Just tell her " Honey I traded for some stuff I had laying around" Works every time for me!

 

[Mr. Ugly]

Hehe... the real reason why BAR has DBTC

"Look what my friends gave me!"

 

[Trevor S]

hahaha, matt you got caught... how about just use the pay it forward method ?!!

 

[epicfish]

Haha. This is a great thread. My girlfriend has stopped asking me how much things cost. No shared bank account so I just tell her. She used to freak out...then it turned into the eye-roll stage on how much I'd spend...now it's the "Shrug, that's nice. Remember you have to pay rent next month."

 

[Fragmented]

Ha ha ha....I AM the wife!
