I blame you all for this

"I blame you all for this"

You are welcome.

Hey. Some of us can play bass WHILE rocking a spectacular pair of patent leather pumps. And I make it a point to discuss both shoe and bass/bass accoutrement purchases with my husband because we are in partnership, not competition.

Good rule to discuss purchases first.

To be fair, if my wife starts talking to me about shoes my eyes kinda' glaze over... unless they're patent leather pumps

Why did you all marry women that didn't like to buy basses for you?

Been married 14 years and always get the same music to my ears. What kind of bass do you want for your birthday/anniversary/Christmas/valentines day?

Sounds like you're married to a keeper!

Does your insurance company offer "accident forgiveness"? Not your car insurance, your life insurance.

Pretty funny!!!

Actually nope...maybe I ought to be watching my back a bit more

I just sorta did an accidental purchase yesterday and She knows...AND I am still alive...so life is GREAT!

(OK - it was not a "truly accidental purchase"....it was a "honey - I would be a fool to pass this up....PLEAZZZE???" - pretty close to the same thing though )

As Grace Hopper, the creator of the Cobol programming language, once said:

Yea, I nerd-out sometimes.

Having made hidden purchases myself before, have to say that the peace of mind that buying a bass that I agreed with my wife ahead of time is pretty priceless

Easier initially. I suspect you are not married, or not happily married, or will not be happily married much longer. Our wives are not stupid, nor should they be treated as such.

Wow, can't make a tongue-in-cheek little funny without someone attempting a smack down in what can be taken in a very personal way.

Indeed. Or as any of the other stereotypes floating around... spendthrifts who have massive closets full of shoes, hypocrites who can blow huge amounts of money on said shoes but turn around and get mad when their husbands buy a bass, selfish women who can't appreciate that their husbands can be fascinated by something they're not... I mean, if your wives are really like this, I feel for you, but most of us are not. The whole "old ball and chain" thing is tiresome.
