    If by mice you mean have I learned to say "yes dear I'm sorry, I'll do better" I am a mouse. Oh wait my wife is reading this over my shoulder and she just said it's OK if I say I am not henpecked I am a man. Now she is reminding me I forgot our 32nd wedding anniversary yesterday. Gotta go.

    Edit added after wife left the room: Seeing John Crowley's name in this thread just reminded me I ordered a Wacker from his ShavingShop Saturday so it is probably going to arrive any day. Coming right on top of forgetting my 32nd anniversary how do my fellow mice think this is going to go over? I realize you don't know my wife but on top of being a mouse I am not very bright so your predictions on this could help me prepare. On a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being "it might make for a bad day or two" and 10 being "there won't be a 33rd anniversary to worry about" how bad do you think it will be if she beats me to the mailbox when that Wacker gets here?

    I tell missus that the new razor that's just arrived in the post is an old one returning from a honing. :/

    Genius, I am going to.... oh shoot I already told her that all those hones that have been arriving are solely cost savings devices so I don't have to send razors out.

    I told SMWBO that the hones I have are so I dont have to send the razors out... I dont think she bought it, especially as I have a Maruichi Nakayama on the way.

    Ah well..!

    you might want to plan something extra nice to do for the wifey seeing as you did forget and all....you maybe should find her some nice diamond jewlery and maybe cook dinner and do the dishes for a week or two

    I haven't EVEN gotten started on hones.... okay, okay, I am eyeing a Norton 4k/8k, a 220/1K...and maybe later a Naniwa 12K...and doing a little remodeling of part of the basement to set up a tiny workshop But that's a different conversation on a different thread.

    It's a slippery slope we walk on gentlemen!
