[alton]

[Reef69]

[donniekim]

Maybe you could buy hardware for upgrades, like a skimmer, reactors, auto-top-off,etc....?!?!

[DeletedAccount]

Go out today and buy $1000 worth. That should hold you over....

[alexwolf]

ooooohhhhhh boy......I dont think either my wife or I could make it more than a week lol!!!!!! :)

It's a dark and stormy night as "alton" approaches a mysterious looking man dressed in a trench coat they call "Pete." The dark and dingy alley behind the local pizzeria is the meeting place for tonight. Alton silently passes a list and cash to "Pete" while silently hoping his wife who is sitting in the warm pizzeria behind him doesn't notice how long it has taken him to "go to the bathroom." Pete nods and turns away, glancing at the list clutched in his left hand. They both walk away and the exchange is complete without a word being spoken. :-D :-D

[alexwolf]

LMAO!!!!!! :lol2:

[rocketeer]

Well, they say nothing good happens quickly.

Just tell your wife that your work started paying you in corals and fish....... They just dont know which ones to pay you with so they give you the money to go get them. :grin:

[GaryP]

Alton,

I thought I heard her say you had to give up paying at list price, right? Don't you have one of those freshly minted MAAST membership cards in your pocket? I don't suppose this covers working for trade does it?

Gary

[don-n-sa]

Go out and buy some gift certificates from your favorite LFS...buy several at each store in $25 increments.

You can figure it out from there. 8)

Gary

The cards are out?

[NaCl_H2O]

Thus, why I am not a religious person :roll:

[Tim Marvin]

Do as she said and you'll be a happier man.

[GaryP]

The entire SW industry may collapse without Alton.

[alton]

Thanks for the support! My wife loved the responses! I think I have her talked into coming to the meeting this weekend, Thanks again Alton

[Jenn]

Now this is funny. Good luck man......

[C.Mydas]

Ooooh...good strategy. Get her hooked so that she will either remove the no fish rule, or do all the buying herself. Very clever, better than any of our ideas. :-D

That reminds me way too much of some trades, buys, and sells I've done. Hanging out at the Exxon station waiting for the hookup. Money changes hands as does bags of saltwater with who knows what's in there. 8)
Just waiting around for the local police to spring in with the sting one day. :-D

[MikeyBoy]

Get a Divorce!!!, put in a new fish room with new tank, new sump and fuge, all new pumps controllers, lights, tons of corals and fish.........
It's quite liberating!


It worked for me!

[MikeDeL]

Sounds like someones happy to be single. LOL

LMAO! :lol:

I was thinking something more along the lines of a "Fish Run". We'll pull up to Fin Addict and see Alton fleeing with a plastic cup and a fin sticking out of the top of it. :-D



LOL WaHooing fish! Ya'll are crazy!

[CD]

This is hilarious!
Kinda makes me wonder though...what's the wife giving up for Lent? If she gets to choose what you give up, wouldn't it stand to reason that you get to choose what *she* gives up? :skeezy:
