And in an SUV, you can fold down the back seats, and have a full length space for being naughty, and/or star gazing with Beth!!!  Nope, I would never call you *selfish* you care about what she thinks, ergo, not selfish! Keep your pair, there are enough willing to give theirs up, the real men need to keep them! (and that is far enough past my comfort zone on that subject...) Could you take out the loan for the SUV, and get a little extra for a new Ovation???  The interest on a car loan is much lower than a CC rate. If you need to see a "Babe" in a hot, sporty car, rent "Vacation" and watch Christy Brinkley, I have never seen it, but I hear she is really hot in it! LOL!!! In real life, a 2 door really sucks for doing groceries, or if you have children or pets... they look sporty, but Oh! So impractical for doing the practical everyday things. I think it is really nice that you are thinking of her too LOF, you are not selfish, you just have a bad GAS attack, and I no stranger to that mentally debilitating ailment! It can make you do incredibly stupid things, and justify them with micro-thin, flimsy logic, and still be very happy, and proud of yourself for coming up with ANY justification for it! LOL!!! Best of Luck on your decisions, I hope that you have taken the very drastic one off the table! Believe me, you don't want to be a female, we get blamed for every evil that has befallen man since Adam & Eve. Edited by Nancy 2016-03-13 9:23 PM | ||

Don't kid yourself about the safety, Nancy. Bigger isn't necessarily safer. There's nothing scarier to me than a tailgating woman in an SUV talking on a cell phone. Mine was being in my tiny little car, and seeing a loaded Semi coming towards me, fast - it almost always felt like it was going to flip me over, or blow my car off the road, especially in the winter. And tailgating guys in their pick up trucks always blinded you at night (any tailgater for that matter really) scares the begeebers out of me. I do feel safer up higher in my SUV than that teeny-tiny car. Although, I do miss the cornering on that low little bugger! But I am much safer now, because with the SUV I feel very unstable trying to corner too fast, and in the little car, it was always my "little race car, and the road was a course to beat", so I have slowed down significantly. | ||

Old Man Arthur - 2016-03-13 10:26 PM Now that this has drifted to automobiles.... Maybe it is because I think like a tramp... But when buying a car I always think "Can I Sleep In It?" Right with ya, OMA. The first big record I had as a songwriter... I bought a new minivan. Had a mentor that advised me to do that. "You'll always have somewhere to live." | |||

I just tell SWMBO that the damn things are now breeding. LOL!!!! That is exactly what I used to tell the ex-HWMBO too, about my Model Horses!! Now they pay for my New Bad Habit!

Joined: December 2014 Posts: 1713 Location: Frozen Tundra of Minnesota | Ok, to bring it back on topic, LOF is your Wife a "yes" person, or a "no" person - when you ask her a question, or ask her to do something, does she typically say, "yes" or "no"?? I took a Class at work that taught us to deal with "No" people. (I don't believe it was supposed to teach us about training our Bosses, but the process adapted very well on them!) If they like to say No, you can still get what you want, and they still get to say No, and everyone gets what they want! Simple Question Re-Structuring!!! My Boss was a No person, first thing out of his mouth was always No!, so I learned to ask for what I wanted, in a way that he could still say No, and I would get what I wanted! e.g. Instead of saying, "Bill, can I leave 15 minutes early today?" to which he would reply, "No", I would say; "Bill, would you have a problem with me leaving 15 minutes early today?" He would automatically say "No". I got to leave 15 minutes early, and he got to say No. Once I had that figured out, I used it very successfully for years, and we both got what we wanted! Rethink the way you ask the question, to get the results you want. | ||

Joined: December 2014 Posts: 1713 Location: Frozen Tundra of Minnesota | I had to try to sneak a gun in for an Christmas present for mine, I had paid for it over several months, then we went into the store (we went there about twice a month), and while he made his patterned route (I had studied it carefully, he was so predictable), I picked up the gun (with the help of the Store Owner, she was in on it, and having a blast!), and had to sneak it out back door, down a glare ice hill, bent over, so that he would not see me out the windows, and get it into the truck, which I had to go back to because I forgot my checkbook (is what I told him to get the keys), then hide it behind the seat and cover it up, get back into the store and not act excited all the way home. When we got home, I told him that I thought the barn lights were on, and while he went out to check, I snuck the gun in the house and under the Tree! When he came in, I told him I thought someone had been in our house (he went into immediate panic mode! Hilarious!), then I pointed under the Tree! LOL!!! Stealth Mode is fun! I like giving Surprises! He had been so bummed when we went back before and that gun he just loved was gone, so he was really surprised when he opened the box and saw it there! He named it "Woody", he really loved that gun! LOL!!! | ||
