I really like guy edition step 4 (why didn't I think of that one, pay 80% when alone and the other 20% when with the SO?! Brilliant!!)

Yeah I've done that several times. Although I got busted coming into the house with "two boxes" from harbour air on friday (corals). Nothing was said though, I'm sure its archived for future reference

I bought the beer for Friday! I am expecting an order. Wish me luck.

That was great, however #4 of the guy edition works much better then beer and TV in my case.

Do like I did go to pet stores and talk about the fish alot and how you miss haveing a tank then go to any and all garage sales that have a tank sitting in the drivway and wate till you see a large enough one that you want. By the way she had been bugging me to buy everyone of the tanks along the way. So we by the larger one and it sits on the back deck for till she insists on bringing it in then she gets sneeky drags it in while you are out of town working. now it has to get setup or she will be realy upset. since then she has been looking for more tanks and thingsand every time I say no to one I get the 20 questions. So now we sit with 3 tanks that I am trying to sell 2 tanks up and running very nice tanks I may add. I also have some miss stuff That I am going to get ride of.

Well, we are both just as silly when it comes to buying corals. Some nights it's ok to have grilled cheese and soup instead of steak and potato, then we go down and look at the pretty corals. Maybe one of us should have a little more sense. But it seems to work.

Thanks.

I wish juicy couture made stuff for salt water. Girlfriend will buy anything with that brand name. Then I don't have to make excuses for my purchases.
