Yep and I just started building a new load of supplies!

Semper Fi!
LOL, love the photo and her expression.
On my iPad, all I see of her expression is hands and sunglasses.
I think I am horrified by the sheer number of trains I have collected over the last four decades. I am sure my friends think I am nuts. I have not counted for a while, but about 20 years ago there were 130 locomotives around here.
Fortunately one of my buddies has started offering me hundreds of dollars for cars worth maybe $25, so if I can bring myself to release these ancient models I will solve part of the problem. Now on to some serious locomotive-building.
LOL!!!
Funny !! Everyone should print that and post it near your layout. then-if you are a real man - put underneath "deal with it!!" Men are pikers compared to women when it comes to shopping.
When I saw the caption, I guessed at the poster. Correct.
Must be getting ready to start over. Sure hope so as it will be fun to watch.
I printed the picture out last night and taped it to the fridge. Still funny.
There comes a point where you just can't fool her any longer; where being extra nice and doing more chores, taking her out, buying flowers, etc, won't work. Its all downhill from there.
Paul Kallus,
The mistake was ever trying to fool her in the 1st place, a man's wife is his companion, not his mother! I do find the joke funny however, especially for those males living in a female controlled home.

My first wife, from a galaxy far, far away and a time long ago once said to me:
"It's me or those trains . . . . "
To which I responded:
"I'm gonna miss you, honey."
Hi! I am well north of 300 locomotives. Next big purchase will be Lionel Vision Line GG1. Also looking for Vision Line Challenger. If anyone has one and would like to sell, please let me know! Ditto for Milwaukee 261 or 267.
I have to stop my wife when we go to shows. I can't let her hold money or anything, she's worse than me. All I do is tell her what I'm looking for and boom she finds them all and just buys. Now I only send her to hunt for postwar because she tends to find the perfect pieces, at the highest price of course. Not complaining here, it's great.
TO PCRR Dave, did your wife tell you to say that?
no flowers for mine, just a trip to the antique shop ( where I look for trains.....) or her favorite country store.
the chic with the rolling pin looks hot for some reason....
Steamer,
David when you were done with that nasty hot red head, she would be standing in the kitchen, in her bathrobe fixing your eggs and you know it. You ofcourse would be running your Christmas layout.

Always Marry the right Lionel Lady!

I could handle that......and not all of us redheads are nasty....
LOL... I just drop the bomb on my wife that I am going to York for the first time this year...
Its been two days and she has not said a peep to me.
Steamer,
Always liked them that way myself, have a lot of Scott relatives, some of those nasty red heads are smoken hot, and crazy wild.
Stew1957,
I do believe you took my prior post in the wrong manner, never ever ask your wife to do anything, and never let your wife think she has become your mother. Your wife is your companion, and placed here by God to be such. Few have been married as long as my wife and I, 40 years now and not for one day has she ever believed, I wanted or needed another mother. She is my world, I protect and honor her always, and treat her like the lady she happens to be. If you do not marry the right lady your life will be a night mare, with the right wife you life is heaven sent.

J Daddy,
Maybe she will accompany you and do the driving, I know mine would, if we could both find the time at this time of year to attend. I am not really married to a quiet lady however!

Sounds like my wife. She's not into trains but the few times I took her to a show she ended up insisting we get pieces such as the Christmas boxcar for the year we got married, and several other pieces that had some connection to our lives, which I did not desire or would have picked up if alone.
Amen to that. Life is so much sweeter when God matches us with our soul mate. closing in on 25 years.
my wife has "made me" buy items I hesitated on, but really wanted. Once I was after a Marx 333 on the bay, and had lost several auctions close. She was looking over my shoulder when I was debating on one, and she said if you want it bid like you do. I did and won. she knows I don't go after high dollar stuff, so no worry there.

Ha! Me neither. And We are "caravaning" with the Men.
I got the look like how could you... abandon me and the kids for your hobby! You selfish... *#&$...
Nope, no more guilt trips. I am going to have fun with my life and if anyone likes to join me, so be it. But I am not going to live my life to please others anymore.

Foolish train guy, there's a Big Boys worth of roses there ans they will all die, what a waste
My wife and I have had a great time at the fall York meet for the past 3 years. Getting there is an enjoyable drive in the fall colors. For two days, she drops me off, goes to the antique shops and outlet malls in the surrounding communities, then we meet for dinner and share our exciting adventures. She has also come to the Orange hall to get some Christmas presents for grandkids. Even accompanied me when I had some questions for Jim Barrett, who agreed she's a keeper!
