    Lads, you are all dilusional, the lady of the house always knows what is going on. The only recipe for freedom is divorce/seperation.

    Beside the ones that she knows about, I still have one in the box in the basement and one is on the way. I try to order the same color as what I already have and hopefully she can't tell the differences among them. I bough her 2 little ones that she seems to like them somewhat.

    Oh my younger son used to threaten to rat me out, but if you keep you eyes and ears open you find out things to use against them. Now that he likes to fly RC planes I just threaten to stop financing him and he shuts up real quick. Once they get jobs I may have to rethink my strategy.

    With my wife "what she doesn't know won't hurt me". When she asks she usually gets a, it's used , I traded for it, I've had that one. The secret is to slowly let her see something new a little bit more at a time then she doesn't remember how long it's really been there. I don't have to worry about my sons ratting me out, one does boats with me and cars and now my younger son has discovered he loves to fly RC airplanes. When I expect something to be delivered I try to meet the mailman out front and if the package came I meet him down the street at his truck. Amazing what an envelope with some coffee coupons left in the mailbox at the holidays has done for my marriage. Oh, and most Paypal entries are listed in the bank book as "groceries". Hey with 2 teenage sons in the house she never questions it.

    Wow! Some crazy stuff here.

    My other half has zero interest in anything with a motor. Nothing negative, nothing positive. Her response is usually, "Well, if it makes you happy."

    She's as amazed at the price tag as I am, but we work our way through it. I tell her it's not much different than a collection of fancy shoes or dresses... Usually makes her smile and we move on.

    My dog had a liking for the boats and swam after them a few times, but quickly wore off, like the 1/8th scale buggies. She used to chase them around, but rarely catches her attention any more.

    I am still in shock over the expense of these "toy boats".
