Even with all that, I still hate the rain.
I don't go to Seattle very often, Paul. It's something like 7/8 hours from me. I guess I've been there three times. Next time I'm there I'll see if I can find the gun shops. Of course, my wife will be with me; she doesn't let me out alone. (joking) She'd rather to to jail than to a gun shop. (Not joking)

Just trade her time in a quilt/fabric store for time in a gun shop. It works. This is a favorite bargaining chip for both of us.
I have a gun shop down here that han a Montana Silversmith display in it. A few pesos on jewelry goes a long way.

Smart.

My wife is a slave to ear rings. She'll tinker with those things for hours and then walk out and not buy any. "It's called shopping". She says.

Steve, make her a pair out of a pail of hammers, or triggers. Then she will have a connection to your hobbies. Women love that kind of stuff.

Yep. If I want a new shirt I'll go to a store, walk in, find the shirts, pick one and buy it. Total time? Maybe 2 minutes.

If my wife wants a new purse, she'll go to every store in town, look at maybe 100 and then go back and buy the first one she looked at. Might take 2 or 3 days.

However, I never buy a new shirt. If my wife thinks I need one she'll buy one while she's shopping for purses. Shirts almost never wear out and I'll wear one for 15 years - easy. My wife will look at my shirts and exclaim, "These old shirts are out of style!"

"Wha do ya mean 'out of style'? Shirts never go out of style." I'll say. She'll mumble something (I'm nearly deaf.) and whap three shirts that I've been wearing since I was teaching are off the hanger and gone forever.

I don't care how many holes are in my underware. I mean, who's looking? Pat will toss those too when she's doing the laundry. That's just crazy.

If it makes you feel better, you are not alone.

Mine end up in the rag bin, until I find'em then they go back in the drawer.
