LOL you keep receipts?? Dude thats just asking for them to be found. If I'm at the LFS with my hubby when they go to tell me the total and he's not directly nearby (ie. looking at the total on the register) I just put my finger to my lips and quietly pass them my credit card

NEVER, EVER, EVER use her toothbrush to scrub coralline off a powerhead.

* When starting into the hobby, your first step should be to buy/find your own fish towels (use old single socks if you are on a tight budget). Under no circumstances should you use any household towels from the kitchen or the linen closet

My wife is actually pretty good about the hobby. She's been with me since I started into the hobby a while ago so she knows very well how much everything cost and all the nuances that comes with the hobby. I think her reasoning is, every time I do anything tank related she knows exactly where I am and what I am doing.
