I showed wifey that receipt and I got :shock: in return. :lol:
You want to know :shock: ? My wife was with me and actually talked me into buying the Reflexion bottle on top of the bottle of 25.

For a moment I had serious concerns that she was abducted and replaced with a pod person clone.

:wtf: :notsure:
Conversation at the store in front of the locked cooler wall:

Whiskey Expert for the store: "Hey, do you want the Reflexion too?"
Me: "no, just the 25, please"
WE: "You sure, this is the last one we will get and they are kind of hard to find. I was tempted to buy it and hold it awhile and flip it, but I don't have the money to tie up for a year or two."
Me: "I don't think so, I'm not looking to flip anything, I buy it to drink it."
WE: "Yeah, I hear you, I'm pretty much the same way, but I have sold a few bottles and made good money in the past."
Wife: "He won't sell it, it's like his guns, he just keeps getting more and wont think about selling any that he already has."
WE: "Hey, at least he shows you what guns he buys, I don't show my wife those. [laughing]"
Wife: "If you're getting the 25 you might as well buy the limited one too."
Me: "No.... Well, okay, if you say so."

In the car on the way back to the hotel:

Wife: "You're f'ing crazy, that's a lot of money for alcohol."
Me: "I lost more than that gambling today"
Wife: "well, just make sure if you share that with anyone it's someone that appreciates it..."
Wife: "Don't share it with (name of a friend), he will just do shots with it and not appreciate it."
Me: "Yeah, I learned that lesson with him and Macallan 21. Never again."


My wife actually gets embarrassed when I buy some stuff. She has very simple tastes and doesn't get it. A bottle of any vodka will make her lemon drop just fine, and last her a year. Any alcohol she drinks is in a sweet concoction so you don't actually taste the booze.

My wife says the same thing about expensive booze and only sharing with friends who will appreciate it. Most of my friends just drink to :drunk: :doe: so it's all for me.

$3500 on two bottles of liquor.

I am full :zing:

You do realize if you're ever stupid enough to divorce this woman this will be "Exhibit A" to her motion for $40K/month in alimony.

She's going to have to fight for a divorce, so much so that she would be willing to walk away with nothing to get rid of me. :lol:

It was the truth, and the only thing I could come up with at the moment. The gambling trip was her idea, along with looking at a couple houses. I would have been just as happy hanging out at home over the weekend.

Come over, I will buy a bottle of Kessler and pour it into an empty Macallan bottle for you. You'll never know the difference, but might wonder why I won't drink any myself.

I spent $100 on the Carribean Cask Balvenie. And had to be slightly impaired to even do so. And went full on whim to get it.

Going to take back the new drill I bought and but this combo instead. Why spend $100 when you can spend $200?! It's also the new generation tool

If that extra zero at the end starts showing up, I'll give her your number. Until then, she's none the wiser.

Seriously, let me know how it works. I have one of those Dyson V8 vacs and this actually looks like it could be good.

One of our forum members bought a Napoleon BBQ which supports our a Barrie Ontario owner so I thought it makes sense to pay it forward and get this little Weber.ImageImage
