Coins and the wife.

To my wife it would be like sharing a moldy onion. My 4 year old daughter is much more interested in shiny things but has a passing interest in coins.

My wife figures that if it makes me happy and doesn't break us, all is OK.
Every once in a while, she sees something she likes, so I have to buy it for here.
The latest one for her was the 2012 UK 5 pound proof silver Olympic commemorative.
When she gets what she wants, I'm kept happy, too.

 

Let's put it this way:

If the wife finds out, you will be UNDER the doghouse, not in it!:thumb:

 

Well, I better start to build a doghouse because otherwise I may endup with nothing over my head at all.

 

Dang man, I had to laugh. Sounds exactly like my conversations.

I also like the conversations about when she finds things laying around the house, (sometimes I am not good about putting my toys away). Just yesterday,

Wife: So I found these on the computer desk
Me: Sweet, I forgot about those
Wife: What are they?
Me: They are tetradrachms minted by the Kushans
Wife: How much did you pay?
Me: I love you
Wife: Why did you buy 8?
Me: You look pretty.
Wife: Don't you already have a lot of these?
Me: So pretty
Wife: I am going to go buy another Coach purse. You are lucky it won't be something more expensive.

 

Don't forget the amenities:

Hot tub

Beer Fridge

Big Screen T.V.

DVD Player/Recorder

Popcorn Machine

Pizza Oven

oh and uhm the Deep Fryer, for the Buffalo wings :thumb:

 

I was thinking of going with food insurance (The food good for 25 years), could be a long stay if I get caught.

 

Apparently people here are not aware of the 48 hour rule.

If you sneak a coin into the house and she doesn't notice is within 48 hours you are safe.

 

As long as there is a roof over her head, bills paid and food on the table, my wife could care less.

 

I like it lol

 

That is a valid, working rule. I sometimes have to utilize it when caught.

Wife: I haven't seen that coin before. When did you get that?

Me: Don't you remember? I got that at the _____________ (fill in the blank "auction last month", "online auction 3 weeks ago", "Bob's Coins", etc.)

Wife:

 

LMAO!!! I loved it!

Greg, I will eventually call the wife and tell her what you're doing.

 

I have mine delivered to the office... My wife rarely questions where the new coins come from now lol.

 

I get a coin or a cigar once in a while. My wife gets either perfume or goes and buys a gun. So we don't question each other, really.

 

All I have to add is this. Though I'm not married imagine getting a statue in a 20x30 inch box. How do you hide that? and how do you explain it when it suddenly appears on your display case?

I tried to explain to my girlfriend that at least the coins doesn't up that much space. But she's not buying it.

 

I don't have a wife. Maybe I should elope so I can tell you my stories :devil:

 

Being married is great but can complicate coin collecting and most other things. lol.

 

Here is a real one but is not Laughable.

Wife: This time you better choose which one is very important to you.
Me: Why you said that?
Wife: Because I am getting tired of you looking and working with your coins collection.
Me: Sweetheart, You just said that you will love me for ever Till Death Do us Part. Remember that one.
Wife: Yes I remember that one. But today and I will ask you again But please be honest with yourself. Your Coins or your Beloved wife.
Me: OK, did you see that Door?
Wife: Yes I see that door.
Me: I will go out on that door right now. When I come back in this house If you still here then you still love me. Ok.
Wife: OK

 

Now I am Divorce !
