How to deal with the look

[PB]

Turn the look back on to her. "I wouldn't have to have another saw to do the work, if you would help me out every now and then." Then throw her a curve ball with "Give me back my jacket!". Only do this if you are a professional or if you can afford a divorce or hospital visit.

First: Don't every let her see a new saw coming in.

Second: You don't have enough saws. You need to have enough so when you add one, it won't be noticed.

I really put my foot in it last year (06). Was conducting excavation on one of mine on the dining room table when out of the blue she asked "how would you like a new saw for Christmas?" "No thanks, I have enough" ...."Who said that!" Wives should not be allowed to talk when one is working over a saw.

My GF is actually HAPPY when I buy more saws. She also LIKES to go out cutting trees down. So... just get her hooked on chainsaws!

Diamonds? Man, now there is a waste of money.

Tell her that this saw is for her.

Tell her this saw is the one you've been waiting for & the only one you need. Then proceed to put all other saws up for auction on ebay with some astronomical reserve so there is no way they will sell.

I can picture it now-a diamond bracelet draped over the handle of a dolmar sitting on the kitchen table.

Hide em durn it.

You are back in the country, right? You have got to learn the sneak em in and hide em. If caught, it's simple. Lord honey, I've had this thing forever, it's about wore out.

get all the same brand / color.... she wont be able to tell em apart, on ly let her see one at a time

Get bigger barn and fill it with other unnecessary items(cars, trucks, boats, etc.) so the the enormous collection of saws blend in. It is not a collection until ladders are needed.

Ain't that the truth. LOL, I had to use a ladde to get the top shelf ones down...had to thin the fleet for now -----> in the process of moving. It will resume when I get settled in my new place.


Wow, must be the only guy in the world that needed another saw after the famed 361.....! opcorn:

That is what I was gona say. My last girlfriend could not tell the difference between my 660 and 036. She did notice my Jonsered 670 was a different saw because it was "red and loud"

So told my have to buy a saw and she said aboustly. Picked up a 361 and started cutting. Well after a month I started getting this weird itch.So I searched the internet for help. Well I ended up finding this site and I thougt man these guys can probley help me get rid of this weird itch. This did not happen you guys were no help you only made it worse. So know I need you guys to tell what to do when the wife gives me the look when my fourth saw {which is a new dolmar 7900} comes tomarrow.
