Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope?

Girlfriends and wifes, how do I cope? Easy, I never allow them to listen to my system at the same time.

Seriously, when my wife and I met for the first time nearly thirty years ago, I already had speakers nearly her height at one end of my living room. She knew from that moment on that I was dedicated to music and has rarely ask about the system since.

One exception was in 1990 when I replaced my Vandersteen 4's with Soundlab A1's. She came into the living room one day after work, looked at them ( how could she miss them? ) and ask, "are those going to stay here?" (They did).

Angela, do you use this on your husband, or are you still looking for Mr. Nice guy/audiophile?

Elizabeth, I hope you buried him with the portion of the musical library that you dislike. It would be a shame to listen to a great system and come across a song that suddenly reminded you of unpleasant times.

One thing I got to know.......Is it true that if you play Acadian music near the alligators they are mesmerized and don't snap at your shovel whilst burying the departed?

What a wonderful lady. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.

Damn it Gumby, if you are trying to make the rest of us jealous, it's working.

At least now I know how you came by your moniker.

Shandorne, I have that COMPLETELY covered, we simply don't have that problem in my home........

(I don't have a basement)

Have you in fact got any cheese here at all?

No, sir. Not a scrap. I was deliberately wasting your time, sir.

Well I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to shoot you.

Joeylown36111, you don't want a bit chopped off your nose do you?

Fake polystyrene nose, perhaps.

But........no, no, no - it's spelt Albert: Luxury Yach-t, but it's pronounced 'Throatwobbler Mangrove'

kind of a bugger to remember...

Wi-F-e, wi-V-es.

Kni-f-e, kni-V-es

Does that cut it ?

I on the other hand monitor everything she buys, get veto rights on her purchases and answer to no one as to my purchases.

Check and mate.

I'm going to listen to a slightly used Marantz 11s2 tomorrow afternoon on behalf of my dog Oscar.

You should refer to the Marantz as the Oscar Award.
