Yikes.. pardon the mutterings of an Old Pharte, but how agreeable "they"
are before the nuptials often changes after the nuptials when they start
surveying the domicile with their post-nuptials (i.e. "I am the mistress
of the castle") eye.. Cigar and pipe smokers have learned this lesson for
decades. Don't know if the signal swing is proportional to how much of a
sweetheart they are "before". And of course this doubtless doesn't apply
to your intended [They are "one's intended". We are the "intended
victims"]. My, but this sounds bitter, eh?
Of course, YMM Vary. A guy I know was extremely paranoid about things
happening to "his" house at his bachelor party--NO SMOKING and DON'T SPILL
ANYTHING and such [so I had to !@#k with him by saying, in the basement,
"Hey man, somebody just kicked a beer over in the kitchen" and watching
him run upstairs. Hee..]. Momma had him whipped before the ceremony.
Won't be but a minute before "Honeeeyy, can I borrow the **lls tonight?
The guys want me to go have a beer". A sorry spectacle indeed.
Even I, Mr. Indepent As A Hog On Ice, have entered the zone where the
madwomen would balk if I bought that Supro Dual-Tone I saw in VG.
Or the ASAT, Skyhawk, 1928 L-1, JCM-800, Turner Model-T, Rickenbacker
Frying Pan, National Style O, LP Black Beauty [I could go on] that I lust
after.
I could sense some bad vibes at the purchase of the Brake & Vibe.
But I fear them not. Okay, I fear them a little. No more stuff
until I've bought them some toys. It just ain't fair..
I hope this was OT. Not hardware, but certainly an occupational hazard
associated with the purchase of same.
