   I dont know if its wise to take the spouse.  I mean how many times could one here, "dont you have that already"  "you dont need to waste money on tools"....

   I was thinking, since I'm a "girl", that someone could take me as their "spouse" and we could split the savings, ROFL!!! 

   In my much younger and more impulsive days, I once got myself and a girlfriend into a bar/club for half-price.  We were out lookin' for handsome young men to dance with, of course.  It was some kind of "bring your date" special in the college town, where the date got in free.  They door-guy asked for cover from both of us, and I looked him straight in the eye, put my arm around my friend, and said sweetly:  "You wouldn't discriminate against lesbians would you?"  His jaw dropped, and he let us pass.  I've never laughed so hard in my life!!  (Could be we had already warmed up at another bar, I'm not sure.  Ahhhhh, those were the daze)forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl   ;-)

   That's funny. Did the same thing with my girlfriend this weekend, and the barman laughed, and said "There's no way SHE's dating YOU!"  I gave him a five and told him to keep his mouth shut so she wouldn't figure it out...

   My friend has a rule.

   As long as his wife makes him go to church, she has to go to his woodworking and gun shows.

   He hasn't been to church since...ROFL

   I, however have a buddy to go to shows with.  I don't think we could get away with what you did.

   Thanks for letting us know about the show.  My wife and I will be going tomorrow or Saturday.

   Probably won't be buying anything, I've been put on "tool restriction" because of my last purchase :~(

   But, it was delivered today... 37" widebelt sander.  yippee :~)

   "...37" widebelt sander."  And I'm feeling guilty about a few measly clamps!  Too funny.  Tool restriction?  I'd be banished to the garage to sleep on the tablesaw!forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl   ;-)

   Forest Gurl, I Read your offer for a free Spouse and had to decline the offer.

   First, there's no FREE Spouses (Or, free lunch for that matter.) 

    Free Spouse, is an advertising gimmicK (Called a Loss leader) designed to get you into the store then they give you the 'Old Bait 'n Switch' routine.

    You wind up paying through the nose for something you didn't need in the first place.

    My wife aggrees wholeheartedly Stein.

   Last year for her birthday I got the missus a couple of those two sided pouches newspaper carriers wear.  So now whenever we go to a woodworking show she can still carry everything we aquire and not have so much trouble keeping up with me all day.

   It's the little things that keep a marriage special.

   Thats a good idea Jim. I keep using those cheap plastic bags they hand out and I keep having to stop and wait for the wife to pick everything up after one of the handles break. It sooooo annoying to hear her complain all day...

   " Its cutting into my hand..My hands bleeding,

   "My arms outta socket...."

   "My back hurts...."

   and the straw that broke the camels back " How can you expect me to carry all this stuff and the mitre saw too???"  Man shes  sooo spoiled...
