    When I send her shopping she always comes back and tells me: "Everything was on sale! I would have saved more, but I ran out of money"

    No trikes. Too old, too crippled. Unless I find one I can't live without!

    I use the tear down and scatter parts method. Although the eagle eye can spot another trike if its a roller, she seems to not notice the additional trikes if I can get them torn down and into bins!

    I always "traded something laying around or tools" and when I sell something I always "take less than what I was asking" to help the toy fund lol

    I know that scenario! Used to do the same thing (DJ & side a little cash from it) Full time job changed the rules on mandatory overtime forcing me to give it up. I was booking events as far out as 2 yrs and they could tell me the week of I had to work that saturday. Used to be they could only mandate 2 Sat a year. New contract new rules Need the full time job for insurance so the side job had to go. man I miss that extra cash.
    insanity - Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result
