    Sounds you either need a toy broker or a marriage counselor.

    God help me if she knew that was an option.

    Are you offering your services on the toy broker part? Marriage counselor is not needed, quite yet.

    Thank you later for pre-releasing?


    One of you has something I want. When you put it up for sale, it is mine, all mine!

    Buzz, I'm in the same boat. I'm banned from any and all ski gear swap forums, ebay, craigslist, etc. for a while. Damn credit card bills . However, I'll find a way to sneak some purchases in here and there.

    You have to speak our language.
    Just tell her it was "on sale"... she will understand.
    I'm just a simple girl trying to make my way in the universe...
    I come up hard, baby but now I'm cool I didn't make it, sugar playin' by the rules
    If you know your history, then you would know where you coming from, then you wouldn't have to ask me, who the heck do I think I am.

    Can I have your number so when she starts to yell at me that I have enough stuff, which I certainly do not, and then hand her the phone and you can help explain all this to her, woman to woman? Then talk her into a new pair of skis, she needs them but thinks she does not.

    Then I will sneak on here and buy what I want while you two talk about how bad men can be with their spending habits.

    Hell, I only have one pair of skis (well, mounted) and one snowboard. That is not enough.

    However I do have 2 other pairs, not mounted, snowboard bindings waiting to go on the current board I have and the bindings on the current board switched to the new board (shhhhhhh....... ) and a gaggle of poles.

    That is not much, well, compared to you all. But she says "we are normal". Man I had a good laugh at that one!!!

    El Chup is right. When skis and shit show up at the door, deny all knowledge of their source.

    You have to learn the art of the "smuggle"
    First, you need a secondary shipping address, 2nd You have to make sure they are unpackaged and assimilated into the ski gear without her seeing them.A separate bank card is useful here.
    Resist the urge to fondle your new gear. (this is harder than it sounds)
    Extra care must be taken if the new gear is oddly shaped or very different from all your other stuff. My wife's eagle eye found my carefully integrated Phantom Crystal Ships in the blink of an eye. Luckily, I was pulling out a pair of Dynastars that I am donating to the Plakespear auction. Hastily mumbled words of a "ski trade" were uttered as I wandered out of earshot.

    It is sometimes easier to let her think what she wants

    Que the annoying buzzer sound! Since I was the one to come up with the idea of us heading to the Bahamas back in college on the credit card for no apparent reason than to go to the beach and drink for a week, I no longer have any credit cards. It was established a long time ago that I like to spend money.


    [QUOTE=mrw]Resist the urge to fondle your new gear. (this is harder than it sounds).

    My garage and she is only allowed in it to park! I will fondle what I want in there (and have ).

    She has no clue what I have and I have it all stashed in different places. It is funny looking skis with funny looking binding to her. At least so she lets on. Snowboard here, bindings there, skis here, poles there........ along with about 25 pieces of other sports equipment I have gathering dust.



    I have abused the system and now the "system" will not let me buy anything till December. I get a new snowboard of my choice for Xmas, within reason and no split boards, has to be "in budget".


    Hey, at least I get a new board!

    Now, the 179 Bros are on the list too though. She is not going to buy "Twoplanker gave them to me".


    I have some stealthy planning to do for the skis at least.
