How many of you play hiding Games with you another half?(wife ,gifriend etc,etc,)
I should start myself first.
i don't but i have couple conversation when we have disagreement. May be i am lucky i don't know.
In the other hand i learn when to stop.(not always but 80% i am successful)
It is really hard to stop to buy what you want and i have bad habit i hate to loose bid's. if i bid i wanna win.
Now come on guys let it go and see what is going on.(may be we all need to see psychic .
I was married for a dozen years way back when. At the time handguns were my crave. I would sneak another S&W into the house and be sitting in the Lazy Boy fondling it. My wife would say,"Another gun ?" No I already had this one ..... you've seen it before ! :D
:rofl2::rofl2::rofl2: I can just see her eyes rolling in disbelief. My wife doesnt care anymore, it doesnt help to say anything.
I've got a Robert Williams & a Dan Capshaw brush that she's yet to see. I sold shaving things to finance them, but she'll not be a happy girl if she see's them at the moment!
I do have a tendency to... over-emphasize the good deals and lucky finds, and be conspicuously quiet about the "expensive, but worth it to me" items I buy.
More of a sin by omission, than an outright lie. I'm sure my wife sees right through that.:rolleyes:
BUT, as I frequently point out to her, if I sold my razors and stones, I would make money... never mind the fact that I have no intention to do so.
Your sig line says it all. The story of my life. :boohoo:Quote:

I do this as well. Oddly, my wife seems to be completely supportive of this endeavor. If fact, she has expressed an interest in learning how to hone!Quote:

are you two secret agent?
that beard is a nice disguise !!!
I rarely hide stuff
simple fact is that I buy and sell so much that she could never keep track of if it came in a lot, or by itself
she also has no way to gauge price on any items
I have made a video with approximate values of the better items, along with guns, knives, tool, and things like that.
Just in case I flop over dead tomorrow.
When I saw the title, I was thinking of something way more fun. How awesome would it me if someone you know, love, and trust took a bunch of your blades/hones and hid them all around your house. You could have an Easter Razor hunt, or just slowly rediscover them during your day to day.
Or you could waterboard them until they told you where to find them. :mace:Quote:

You know, I just talked about this with my wife. She totally understands my disorders, and figures that as long as I'm not totally out of control, it's important to have the occasional indulgence. Occasional being every three weeks or so... ;) And as long as we're both employed, with decent pay, there's no reason not to. We still save more every month than I ever could have imagined...
She handles all the money anyway, so I couldn't hide my purchases if I wanted to...and I don't. Because, in the end, this IS just a hobby, while she is the reason I get up in the morning...
hmmmmmmmmQuote:

I was talking to a couple guys in chat last night about this... My SO asked me who I was emailing and I told her that I sold one of my razors.
She goes, "You have more than one?"
I didn't know what to say. I guess ignorance is bliss. I'll let it go on this way.
P.S. She lives in my house!
I don't have to hide as my wife trusts me. What an incredible thing! I would feel badly to betray her trust though so I also enjoy being honest with her :p
In return she gets to tell me I'm always right while rolling her eyes (compromise is okay in this regard as I am secure in my right-ness) and she gets to call one of the cars hers. hehehe
Occasionally, but it usually takes the form of:
Me: You got a package. What is it?
Her: Uhh...err...probably a DVD.
Me: A DVD?! What is it?
Her: *Some random movie*. It only cost 50 cents!
Me: And I'll bet shipping was $4...well, whatever.
Reverse the roles and make it a new tool or something, and there you have it :D
:roflmao You beat me to it Scott nice oneQuote:

I have resorted to creating a secret income stream.. even so I feel my days are numbered!:whipped:
Well uh I guess I need to fess up to. She is supportive of this hobby but I do get a bit carried away sometimes:-)
Now that line sounds like the line I hear from some borderline compulsive gamblers I know with Minnesota being the land of 10,000 lakes and many many casinos. You never hear about their losses but you sure hear about their wins (and believe me, there are ALWAYS more losses, but I digress).Quote:

It does sound like a gambler's justification, doesn't it?:gaah:
Ah well, I don't spend more than my arbitrary budget, so I don't sweat it too much. :D

Also, I first thought this was one of those games where its like, I stashed a brown Escher in the wilderness. Every day I will post a clue. Good luck. I was actually into that sort of thing for a bit, but not anymore.
What's the old saying..."My worst fear is I'll die and she will sell them all for what I told her I paid instead of what I really paid!"
