Hi Scott and Joshua,

   This was great, I really enjoyed it !!!!!!!!

Thanks,

My question...who did the "pat down" and did you enjoy it?

Rick

I know that feeling, checks the bank account everyday. RATS!

Kathy has been on my computer and signed into the forum. I would not let her do this to my trains and of course she won't let me buy trains.

I make no claim to the pictures she posted while I was at York.

For you guys with problems with the wife I have a true story for you that really works for a friend of mine.  When I lived in the Wash, DC area this guys wife would tell him he had only a few hundred dollars to spend at York.  So on one trip he opened a savings account at a local bank near the fairgrounds which he used to send cash to without his wife knowing it.  Come York he would get his "allowance".  Upon arriving in York he would go to his new bank and with draw over $500. or so and have a great time buying stuff.  When he arrived home he would say "see honey I got all this for the few hundred dollars you gave me"  She never caught on and this has been going on for years.

Pretty clever cept that while he's at York, she's schtupping the mail man!

Both stories are hilarious!

I guess he missed that part of the vows where he promised to love, honor, and obey. Or he missed the lesson about that pesky 8th Commandment.

Would you do business with someone who steals from the most important person in his life?

Would you stay married to a woman who tells you how much of the common wealth you can spend?

These are alien concepts to me, and every time someone brings up this topic, I wonder what kind of people populate this country.

And before hitting the "FLAME" button on your computer, the full disclosure clause is as follows: I am not wealthy, by any stretch. When I retired, my wife said "Go out and buy any sports car you want. Don't worry about the cost. We'll figure out how to pay for it. You deserve it."  I took her out to dinner instead, and we used the money to pay for the luxuries...soap, toilet paper and potatoes.

When I go to York, (I've been 54 times) I take $500 of OUR money with me. Sometimes I bring it back, and sometimes I hit the ATM in the parking lot outside the Red Hall for another 500.

Right here with you on this, the topic never fails to bring out some replies that make me question the quality of life of the poster.

To the "leave her" or "hide your money" gang, my oldest friend is a divorce lawyer, lives in a huge house on the ocean, drives a new every year BMW 740i, and takes a month long vacation overseas every year -- almost all on earnings from very angry soon to be ex-wives, who got that money from their soon to be much poorer ex-husbands. Just a word of caution.

My wife pokes fun at me about trains all the time, it is loving & in jest, I don't mind at all.

How many trains do you want? Soon you'll be like me with boxes of trains stored away and after awhile you don't even know whats in them or how to find something.

LOL!  I love the video.
