How do you hide your obsession?

[forescott]

I thought it would be kinda fun to hear from some true FE addicts how their families deal with the countless usps and ups packages coming to their door. And what their wives/girlfriends think of this? My wife gets really frustrated when she sees 20 or so "reply to thread from offshore electrics" thingies that magically appear every day on our home e-mail adress! And wonders why I'm getting countless numbers of little usps boxes at the door all the time! Whats your experience???

Get a hotmail account for the messages and rent a p.o. box for the packages. Or....get a new wife.

Honesty is the best policy. I have an addiction and she knows it. Even better she's okay with it (most of the time).

My Wife supports my RC Hobby 110%, she even purchases RC's as gifts for me.
Her sisters husband is a drunken whoremonger(lucky guy) and he's never home etc etc so she's happy knowing I'm home tinkering or at the track or ponds.

HAHA Make em pick. Hunny, it's boats or strippers! You decide. RC will sound way better to them. Might not be cheaper though.

My wife is on a first name basis with the USPS guy and the other guy in the brown shorts. I continually, remind her I don't smoke, drink or golf. I still have to drive her to the BEALLS store when a box arrives. LOL. BG

What obsession ... just because I have packages coming/going all over the world and My PayPal account is like a revolving door.

"They want me to do some testing. BTW, I'll be at the field/pond all day Saturday."

Best part is, it's true!

I guess I'm pretty lucky, my wife knows everything that I have or have bought and received, she even pays for a lot of it when my fun cash is low.

My wifes pretty cool about it NOW. One day she DID decide to complain about it, loudly, so I took her to the bedroom and opened her panty drawer and started counting out loud 1,2,3,4, ............ 100... and asked her who has an obsession????? end of argument for good! I still buy my boat stuff she buys her panties, its all good!
please don't get me started on her shoes..... she works at a clothing store go figure.
