What's the old saying.... something like "it's easier to ask for forgiveness... than it is to ask for permission"

I think she has let it slide because she got a new used vehicle and I sold her old one and used some of the money from the old car to buy it.She thought she was going to pay bills with the extra cash.[:'(]I quess I took care of that.


We are still on speaking terms but she does seem to be more hatefull than usuall.[&:]I really don't know why I had to get her another vehicle.Hers only had 196,000 miles on it.Dang American products.


Really the bow was payback for me.

Theres your answer. If she can't drive a car with 196,000 miles, then you cant shoot a bow with 196,000 arrows.

Well,I did it this time.I called the shop to check on my new arrows and to ask about a bow for my daughter and while having idle conversation,I asked how long it would take to get an Xtec and if I could get a co-op bow.

Pardon me, but what is a co-op bow? I never heard this term...

Oh, try skipping a x-mas present.. ya know, well hon, I get this now and I'll need nadda for x-mas... it's only Feb. and she may forget/forgive closer to Oct....

Whats wrong with the dog house? Just think, you can fix it up any way you want, without input from her. You can hang all your trophy heads anyplace you want, throw your clothes on the floor if ya like and not have to hear "why do I always have to pick up after you?" everytime you turn around. And as for buying a new bow? U have a place to now store it without worry she'll sell it on ya.

Well, you already got hooked for a cruise! Next time you'll have to be much more sneaky.

Now do yourself a favor and think ahead - cause we don't want to hear you whinning again..............DO NOT LET HER PLAN THE CRUISE DURING HUNTING SEASON. Get a grip on this NOW or you'll be sorry!! You plan the cruise where ever she wants, you just pick the time.

Voice of experience talking here!!!
