    She thinks nothing about going to the nail salon and paying $50 to get her nails done. When ever I buy a coin online, be it $1 or $50 dollars she gets upset. I still buy though.:rolleyes:

    LOL... Have you seen any of my post.. She calls us ALL Coin Nerds.. LOL..
    Most of my post are from 1AM to 6AM .. While she is Sleeping.. SNORING!!
    I do most of my Buying then.. or While I am at work with a Snipe program..

    Part of my Hoard got us through my being out of work.. Got the Kids Xmas two years in a row, I Sold my Stuff.. I made Great money on my investments.. She still gets mad if I try to restock the hoard.. I still am doing it.. Heck she got mad this week when I came home with a 200.00 Bag of Nickels to go through.. Out of I might Keep 4.00 worth.. And RETURN all to the Bank account.. She still thinks of it like I am Spending money.. Kinda nuts.. Smokes and Snores.. Smokes and Snores..

    My girlfriend doesn't mind so much that I spend money on coins, but I've only been buying some of the lower priced Mercs. I suspect she might change her tune when she finds out I'll be dropping a few hundred for some coins. She is also relatively conservative with her spending though, so it wouldn't be hypocritical of her, angel that she is :D

    Here is what happend last night. I was sitting on the couch while looking at coin chat. My daughter came up and got on my lap. I sat the computer beside me. My wife then comes in and gives my 2 year old a cup of milk in one of those disposable cups without the lid. My daughter gave me the milk to hold. As I was holding it, my daughter turns quickly and knocks the cup out of my hand. I am now using my work computer until the other one gets fixed.

    Of course it was all my fault.

    Good thing she doesn't know about the ninety dollar bid I just put in on some coins. lol

    It's in their genes, there's no hope. Charlie Manson has a better chance of being paroled, than your wife not getting upset.

    LMAO, man that is funny!

    My friend if you have a 2 year old daughter, you are far richer than Donald Trump. The best coin collection in the world pales in comparison to one of those.

    I have the best wife in the world. If I really want something, she always tells me to buy it. She helps me look for coins even though she doesn't really care for them, and will stop at the coin shop to pick up things for me. She always puts the welfare of the other family members above her own. I try very hard not to abuse the honor of being her husband.

    My wife doesn't get upset that I buy coins. She just doesn't understand why I'll pay $100 for a 1 cent coin. She doesn't pay any attention to what I actually spend and I don't volunteer the information and thus we both stay happily content.

    My wife was angry when I bought some dollar coins at face value. Think about that one....

    My wife is supportive. She doesn't understand it, but she believes that I am making reasonable choices when I buy coins, especially when I can show her I've turned a profit.

    Does she get to spend them at face?:eek:hya:

    So the ol' lady and I have a "worthy opponent" moment.

    I invoke the will of GOD in my argument.....something like....."HOW could God make you so pretty and then make you so Stoopid!!!!"

    Her answer makes her winner of this round.

    "He made me pretty so you could Love Me.

    He made me Stoopid so I could love you."

    She wins:D

    Join the club. My wife, the queen of my life, can not understand why someone would pay $100 on a old beat up penny. She does get mad at times, so I give her moeny to buy clothes for the girls. I always ask her would you rather that I collect coins or women. Of course she reminds me that the only women I could possibly get would be considered worn out over circulated AG common date coins. She's probably right like usual.

    Anymore, I have to sneak like a little kid. She once told me that if I croke, she was gonna sell my whole collection for 50 bucks. That almost put me in my grave right there. She has tons of shoes and pocket books though.
    And finger nail polish to match anything you can think of.
    It ain't so bad though, I kinda like sneakin'...
