A "housedress" ? Haven't seen one of those since FATHER KNOWS BEST or LEAVE IT TO BEAVER.
Scott Smith can offer some advice or humor as might be warranted.

Heck, you must not get to the South much. Older women still wear them all the time there!
She could have bought a House Duster and would have cost her 50 bucks tops then spent the other money on a used train for you
. Of course from the For Sale Forum.

And the younger women wear their pajamas to Walmart?

Don't try, you never will.

And Wal-Martians wear, well I don't know what to call it.....LOL
And this is why I'm never getting married. LOL. But maybe I haven't met the right woman yet. Who knows? However it would be nice to get a future wife or girlfriend into the hobby. I need a tomboy kind of woman. Like Betty Jo Bradley...hmm...never mind my crazy rambling. But either way talk to your wife. She might be willing to hear your side of the story.
Geeze, come on guys. Ignorance is bliss. Nina and I don't poke through eachother's business. I don't pay attention to how much a pair of Italian leather pumps costs and she doesn't pay attention to how much a 1930 std. gauge Blue Comet costs. I make it a point to say how nice she looks in all that girlie stuff she buys and she makes it a point to pretend to be interested when we play trains.

Popcorn special.
Frank when you removed the track for the holidays, you blew it. Remember possession is 9 tenths of the law. She figured that she had the room back. But that's okay I get the rolling eyes too. It was even worse with the Truck rebuild.
