[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by easyaces My better-half has been very supportive over the years that I've been in the hobby, but she almost goes off the deep end when I mention buying a new loco or two, or some cars when its not in the budget.[xx(] [/quote] That is one reason why I do not share my hobb(ies) with my wife! [;)] I've almost always been involved in one hobby or another since we were married a long time ago. Photography at first, model railroading and photography later. While I don't think she would actually say too much about what toys I buy, I think it is better to be safe than sorry. Of course I'm probably one of the few in the hobby who has made more money in it than I have spent on toys. I've had quite a few of my articles and photos published in the model press, and they do help pay for things. I have a friend who has some of his new purchases mailed to me so that his wife does not get to see the parcels when they arrive, as she is a stay at home mom. For years I had my own personal post office box near where I worked for my hobby mail and parcels (I am now retired). It was more convenient for me to be able to pick up my mail during my lunch time than having to go to the post office after work and pick up the parcels which could not be delivered because no one was at home. And secure from the wife too! She has her things to do, and I have mine and I like it that way! [:D] Bob Boudreau Canada
