What should I do?

[milehiscott]

Briar Hopper,

Actually you're not too far off. She's from Kommiefornia, so we are going to tour Colorado for the HM.

The up side of a bad snow winter: early 4 wheeling!!!



TPC,

To her credit, she did want to register at Home Depot, and it was HER idea. (Excuse me, but do you have wedding wrapping paper for this 2x4?)



Ken,

He must be a heck of a guy!



Duane,

I'm starting to think that I should wait until September for the new Isspro line. But what I really want to know, $250?!?!?! I've been coming out around $400. PM me if that's for real. I NEED to find where you're shoping!!!!

I say get the gauges - You will have a honeymoon anyway. Just tell your wedding guests to give you $.



Doc

 

[milehiscott]

Doc,

In that case, you're invited to the wedding!

 

[DaveN]

My recommendation is to spend the extra moola on the honeymoon. You'll enjoy it alot more if you do some of the fancy stuff..... and your wife will appreciate it more.



She will say "wow I'm really happy that we did all that neat stuff!!!"



"Well, I knew you would like it, I was going to buy some truck parts with the money I got but I thought you were more important. I wanted you to have a good time. "



<ding ding ding as your points meter flys to the sky>



"Wow you are the sweetest! I think you should buy the gages anyways. . "



See, you get the BEST OF BOTH WORLDS, score big points with her (believe me you'll need them later, when the honeymoon is over you turn into a jerk whether you are or not) AND you get the gages... .

 

[milehiscott]

Score big points

The points system is something I still don't get. It seems to be kind of skewed.



buy dinner: 10pts

buy boquet of flowers: 5pts

buy 1 red rose: 10pts

leave toilet seat up: -100,000pts



:--)

One girl asked me if i liked my dodge better than her. I answered that my dodge had never let me stranded, complained at the task I asked it to do, always gives me every thing it has, has never let me down, and has seen several girlfriends come and go! She did not like my answer for some reason, go figure.



Unfortunatly my dodge has seen another girl go, so now WE have to go and find another one! Girl that is, the truck will never leave me!!

 

[milehiscott]

Still need more good advice. The wedding's only 1 month away.

 

[DarrellB]

I said it once and I'll say it again:

RUN



Do you understand what I'm saying.

Well now, I have only been on one Honey Moon (38years so far) and will be getting my 4th truck (first diesel) Just as soon I get a 2003 3500 HO ordered. Oo. Oo.



I will have to vote for the Honey Moon.



May it last longer then your truck!!!



JD

 

[milehiscott]

JD,

Congrats on the 38 yrs!!!!!!

 

[IdaH.O.Train]

milehi, I don't recall reading where you mentioned some of the possible choices for honeymoon sites, if I missed them I apologize. Anyway, can't you modify the honeymoon, let's say knock a day off the end of it and with the savings buy the gauges. I still have not gone on my honeymoon yet and it's been almost 8 yrs.

 

[ZEEEW]

Your truck will always be there. Use that and treat your lady right, because she might not be! And replacing a truck is alot easier than replacing your lady. Not to say that you cant have guages, or need to spend all your money on her, cause it really isnt about money anyway. Just be good to each other! Your truck however, doesnt care "when" it gets guages. It will still get them, if she is worth keeping But some things need to be done at the right time!



-100,000 for leaving the toilet seat up, but what do you get if you put it down? nada, zip, zilch

I agree with DaveN and (way to go)jdiebold



Lessons learned and passed on. We didnt/wont make it to our honeymoon.



Eric

 

[RustyJC]

We will have been married 33 years in September. Valuable lesson learned - do the honeymoon!



Rusty

 

[KPhillips]

Honeymoon... ... . no doubt... I'm a firm believer in paving the way for the future..... if you do the right thing by her you will be re-paid in triple in the future... . I guess its called Karma... ... treat her right and she will treat you right... ... . if shes happy you are happy,,,,etc. etc. . do a real nice honeymoon and maybe give here a gauge for her wedding gift..... :-laf



kerryp

 

[LarryB]

Why don't you just accept the inevitable and let her decide?

 

[milehiscott]

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! SAY IT ISN'T SOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:{ :{ :{ :{ :{ :{ :{ :{ :{

 

[ZEEEW]

What, did she already make you sell your truck?

 

[JConley]

Here is how you can sell the gauges to the wife. Tell her that you need the gauges in order to protect a $4000 engine. The gauges are like insurance, and therefore, you will be able to keep the truck much longer. This makes you look financially responsible, and you get the goods at the same time.



If this works, let me know. I might try it



If you want anything, you better get it now! My wife has been tightening the noose every year for the last 14 years.

 

[milehiscott]

Conley,

What!?! You have to get permission?!?! Who wears the pants in your family?!?!

Take your own advice and go tell her that you are getting some truck stuff!!!!!















... . and then let me know if it worked.
