How do you hide your obsession?

[Doug Smock]

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!
and don't get me started on her shoes.....

Got pics???

My wife couldn't support me and the hobby more. I'm a lucky man!!

WAIT WAIT...you used an arguement that's a WIN/WIN for you and she bought it!?!?

I joke but many of you know how supportive my wife is. If you made it to the 09 nats she fed you lunch, on her time, got the food, the soda, tools, all of it. Took time off work to do it too. If that aint love.

Yes I used it and it worked, but I don't think she "bought it" its more of an "I dont say anything"" you don't say anything" agreement!! it was my shining moment in history!! LOL!

Terry your wife is very nice to do that we would have starved with out her! I thanked her repeatedly for doing the food/drinks. please express my thanks again to her.

Now that's funny!



I have 3 kids. They all have offroad, onroad, and now boats. I use the " it's a great way for me to spend time with the kids" line. I also have a RR Box and I usually beat her to the mail so she does'nt know everything.LOL.

Great Topic!!! Check out this thread we have going on the same subject (it was originally a swap that morphed into something else)....... I can't stop laughing! Some of these responses are killing me!

Thats where I got the idea to start the thread!

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.

Does she have a sister?

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???

Got exactly the same email problem...

My other half think's I'm crazy. So does the mailman.

[ray schrauwen]

Well, my "X" thinks very little of it but, my new GF thinks its a great hobby and helps me when i need an hand when building stuff.

She doesn't care about the shipments as long as I take care of her too

You know what I mean....

po box and a small bank account on the side a credit union doesnt send to much paperwork

[Alexgar]

mortage and car note show on the statement but the 100 a month i put away aint missed in the scheme of things and my paypal shipped to my mother in law, shes on my payroll, babysitter no one ruins their paycheck

[Make-a-Wake]

I place my orders with the proper shipping type to arrive when i am home to minimize the impact of the UPS guy coming every other day. I never answer directly.........."How much was that motor?..........."I really cant remember, I have several and cant remember all the prices of each....it was just an average price motor, i think".............etc........."

Plus i move all the "order confirmation" e-mails to a different folder immediately.

Although she obviously knows of the RC bug in me..................she doesnt give me a whole bunch of crap about it.
