    riff I ain't got time to bleed

    This morning I went on a George VI Canada Half Dollar buying spree to fill an album. I didn't realize my ebay account was set to pay with our debit card instead of my paypal account. WIFE FOUND OUT!! LOL. She now knows that some of these coins cost money. We had a 'don't ask, don't tell' policy, but that is now null and void. Anyway... off to go do the walk of shame up to the bank teller and deposit cash to pay for them. and oh yeah, it's her birthday.

    When I saw your subject line, I thought you got arrested.

    If that's your only problem, you're lucky. I've gotta go see my probation officer today!

    Whenever I get busted, I open the wife's shoe closet..... Granted I make my point but it does make for a few lonely nights on the sofa.....

    I take it handing her the coins and saying “happy birthday” won’t work?

    Next time you go to a coin show, take some stuff to sell. I always find it's good PR to come back from a show with more money than you left with. ;)

    In the marriage handbook, rule number one is never go in the wife’s closet for any reason!

    I've survived a number of my wife's verbal assaults over the years. She'll cool down in 5 or 6 years.

    Had lots of trouble with Ebay Dipping into my bank account when my "preferred" method of payment has always been my paypal account! Wife busted me once too! Now I have no bank accounts associated with Ebay. Cant sell on ebay without listing a bank account. So I sell on Proxibid, Heritage and CoinHelp. Wife dont know about those!!LOL
