Voicemail I got from Craigslist plus a question for you all

My mum and sister give me shit about my guitar collection; when I point out how many shoes and handbags they each have individually I get "Well, that's totally different." :lol:


Sent from none of your fuckin' business!
 
I don't have a wife, so that's not a problem for me. I do, however, have that cartoon version of the devil on one shoulder, and the angle on the other. When it comes to music gear, the devil is always saying, "You know you want it, BUY IT!" Then the angel says, "Don't you think you have enough? WALK AWAY . . . WALK AWAY FASTER!"

You know, it's amazing how often the devil seems to win those arguments. :wink:

You should talk to a Pastor about that...:grin:
 
HERE! waving both hands in the air....lmao! I have my stuff sent to my bass players house a mile up the street and when it comes in I stop over a few days later and pick it up and then when the wife goes to bed I bring it in and into the music room it goes. She hates what I do, so she never goes in there, except may twice a year. She may ask where did that guitar come from.....like the walnut Tele...lol! she never asked about that one though. I did pick up a green (light metallic green) 90's Fender Big Apple strat the first year they were made for a song 450 I think. and she noticed that one....I told her it has been in the case in my storage room for a couple of years as I can't display them all so they have to take turns.....lol! lol-049

That's why society invented wives...as an enforcer for the angel dude. They knew he was a wuss and would get his ass kicked every time without a nice set of hooters as backup to distract you.

...explains a lot...

Sent from where I am now...
 
If I wasn't on trouble with the wife, I'd think I came home to the wrong house. No sense in wife finding out about it before the deal is done. On Ebay, you might not win an auction, have best offer accepted. On craigslist, the guitar may not be as described, worth have what the guy is asking. Why have wife find out if you may not buy it? Less arguments that way.
 
My wife and I have a bank account for bills etc, and spending accounts of our own

So basically, she buys what she wants and I buy what I want :)
 
Not married but close enough. I don't really buy a lot, but when I do she doesn't mind. It's my money. I don't tell her what to do with her spare change.
 
I'm a lot more reserved in my shopping than she is. If I've decided to buy something, and the money is there, she knows I've anguished over it and made do without it for months.

I think this is kind of how we work too. If there is something big I want she hears about it way too much before I pull the trigger.

Probably one reason why I don't own more nice gear. I have what I need and the kids don't have full college funds yet.
 
Anyone else get the old "but you can only play one at a time" argument?

There have been a couple of effects that have sneaked in the door without the wife knowing about them over the years but guitar and amps have been declared up front.

She has stated I'm not allowed to buy any more guitars so I'm buying parts here and there when I've got spare change and building a couple now. :grin:
