OK Sd keep the wife, you gotta love the toyota truck driving wife that wants old scripps, she’s got style. I think Schizo has the idea you need, JEDI MIND TRICKS, that is classic, I’m bummed I didn’t throw that one in. Come to think of it, high end commercial appliances are the modern day equivalent of jedi mind tricks on women. Take her to pacific sales, there’s one near 4-s (the best prices on high end) and show her some wolf stoves and bosch dishwashers, some dacor ovens and sub zero fridges, even let her see the warming drawers, damn i miss my warming drawer and the perfect new york hot dog cart style steamed buns it created, they have mock kitchens set up by brand. That is the modern day feminine equivalent of “these are not the droids you are looking for.” Tell her that every month you wait, one item is essentially free.
Schizo, ignore the radicals on both ends of the spectrum or those with an agenda, the truth usually lies in the middle. Do follow Dr. Robert Shiller of Yale, that boy has his act together and I haven’t figured out his motivation toward either side, he called the tech bubble and I ignored him then so he still has juice with me and may be closest you get to a crystal ball. It’s real easy to say that houses will decline 50% by friday when you probably can’t afford it even then. You, like alot of us know that that house will go down 100k by October and even though we can afford it now and we won’t go in the poor house either way, it will mean the difference between curly head arturo fuente cigars and arturo’s hemingway series as your daily smoke, so it’s worth it to brush up on the jedi mind tricks.
By October I’ll think of another distraction because that may still be premature, but you need to tell her October because there is a formula for wife years just like there is a formula for dog years, Dog years is 7 to 1 but wife years is measured in holiday seasons and she won’t buy into a strategy that includes two thanksgivings and two christmases in a rental (4 wife years), October isn’t even a legal wife year so we go with that for now.
