Damn!

I just pay my dues, and then buy as I please.

It would suck having to be sneaky.

The wife comes home I tell her and show her what I bought.

Like today...walked into her work with a big smile on my face....."Now wtf did you buy? "

"DRUMS!"

"Good, abooot time."

And that's why she is my wife and I love her.

this works...

when all else fails, and she's bitching about the money you've spent on decks...
go to the Casino, drain the bank account and keep the withdral slips, go home with an empty wallet and say...
I lost it ALL!!! ....Sorry

then, she realizes that
At LEAST with the DECKS WE HAVE SOMETHING TO SHOW for it!


its like a transference of PAIN.
if your back hurts, step on your toe or bite your tongue... back doesnt hurt as much

This only works IF....

***** You dont spend the money at the casino! *****
Hide that $500 -or a grand- and maybe spend $20 on some slots, have some fun, then hit the Buffet!
--------------------------------------
later, you buy the decks you want and tell her you found it at a grarage sale or flea market...

THAT WAY SHE CAN NOT SAY...
"YOU ARE RETURNING THAT $500 DECK!"

...God Speed, And Good Luck!
(its worked for me- but my wifeypoo is into skating, Thank GOD!)

So far this has been working for me.

When times are tough, the wife is giving me crap, just work on your wheels collection. The wife may bitch, but spending $20 on a slight used set, is better than the $300 decks.

Diane is pretty good at the math, but a few weeks of beer cans add up fast, so it is pretty much $ already spent (CRF) and all goes well.

EDIT --->

I come home the other day and see a few C&D boxes on top of my bed.

The sellers used the deck boxes, did not come from C&D. Not C&D decks.

What are those and what did it cost! Her face turned red. Stupid, I thought the last place she would look... amazing.

OK, in deep shit for the moment...

Ok, I've seen a few posts here & there about how some of us are getting in or about to get into hot water w/ our wives due to the number of decks we are buying &/or the amount of money we are spending. I too found myself in this same situation. I was asked why there are so many boxes in our garbage can. So I came up w/ a method I can use to at least keep her in the dark about the true nature of this addition and decided to share it w/ my fellow addicts.

First, get your wife involved w/ your collection. Tell her the importance they are to you, describe the artists, what the decks mean to you, etc. That way she doesn't think they're just a bunch of skulls on the wall & she feels your passion. Who knows, she may get into it with you & will want to help you. I know once I did this, it was much easier to buy a pricey deck w/ her knowing.

Never display all of your decks. Let her think you rotate them. That way when you get a new one, you can hang it up w/out raising an eybrow. You can add to it when you make a token purchase w/ her knowledge.

Tell her you buy alot of re-issues. The old ones would be too much money. Doesn't matter if the nos you bought doesn't have a re-issue, she won't know.

Here is where we get sneaky. Get a box at the UPS store & DON"T TELL HER! This is real important. No boxes will EVER show up at your door for her to find. They go to the UPS store, are kept safe & out of the elements, you can pick them up at your convienience, take 'em out of the box at the store & stick them in your trunk, discard the box at the store. Next time she is out running errands you bring it in, hang it up w/ no problem.

Get a separte email address, Paypal account, credit card & ebay address & DON"T TELL HER! Have the credit card statement sent to the UPS store box. That way all order confirmations, bids, outbid notices, winning bid notices, etc go to another email address she doesn't know about.

For the secret Ebay address, do all your watching, bidding, save your favorite searches, etc. on this id. Make sure you do a few token watches & bids from your regular id that you both use. That way she thinks that this is the extent of your ebaying.

If your wife is very hands on w/ the checkbook & she knows where every dime goes, you gotta get creative. Figure out ways to skim money off the top. The best way to do this is to get cash back when you go shopping. Go to the grocery store for her, get $20, $30, $50 or what ever you feel like you can get away with. You get points for doing the shopping & you get secret skateboard money. After you get alot of this, deposit it into your Paypal accout for furture purchses. Maybe do this via money order or something. I'm not sure about this one since I really don't have this particular hurdle. Be sure to have your Paypal mailing address as your UPS store address. If you really want to get sneaky, open up another bank account w/ out her knowledge. Obviously have this statement go to UPS store.

Remember, if you get caught doing this you can probably be in deep, deep shit. be careful. Be sure not to tell ANYONE. Not your best friend, your co-workers, priest or ANYONE! Don't even mention it in S&B. The only way to get ratted out is because you opended your mouth. So never tell anyone ever!

Have a shredder. Shred everything that has to do w/ your unauthorized deck purchases. Most, if not all UPS stores will have them.

Cover all your tracks as soon as you can. If you access the secret email address from the same home computer she uses, clear your history everytime you access it. The best way is to log onto secret emails, Ebay id's, Paypal id's etc from a work compter. Only log onto secret stuff from home in emergency's, like if an auction ends at night when you're at home. A good way to avoid this though is to use a good auction sniper software.

This is some of the methods I use. I'm sure there are some good methods some of you guys use that aren't here. Please share w/ the group your methods if you so desire.



Geez dude, now tell us how you hide your vagina from her

Fuck it! I just buy boards and take the ass chewin'. I am a man, and the decks are very worth it. I tell her, "when the lights are cut off, then you can bitch at me". She drives a Lexus anyway, what's she got to complain about?

well. i prob shouldn't say anything, as i am not married.

but why are you?

and if your wife has a prob with what you do then maybe you should ask yourself why you're together.

i think you might really have a problem, but its not necessarily your wife, if you really do what you just wrote.

btw if you get into trouble, you can send me the white roskopp eye and the grigley mask.

regards.
