Robert M 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2011 Have you ever ticked (read pissed off) your other half enough that they threw out your fly tying desk? Well I did, lost a vice a bunch a materials, hooks, thread and flies plus the board I used as a desk. Needless to say I am flying pretty low under the radar right now. Sheesh!

bigdewy 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2011 Nice but I have too many years invested. Ya, that splitting your pension in half can make you think twice about "movin on"! Too bad about the equipment; I'll bet the garbage man went home happy with HIS new toys!!! I don't know what you did to set her off, but you might want to sleep with one eye open for a few nights!!

rstout 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2011 You must have done something awful! There is only one way to get on your wife's good side after something like this. Crawl! But with dignity of course! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tidewaterfly 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2011 Wow Bob, that sucks! I've probably pissed my wife off that much once or twice in the 32 years we've been married, but she would never dare throw away my tying stuff! That would be unforgivable! She might however, not speak to me for a few weeks & I might have to sleep in my tying room, or the bed of my truck! Man, tough call! Time heals all wounds, but crawling & begging helps too!

jhammer 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2011 Oh man that stinks! Sorry to hear about that! If my wife ever did that I wouldn't speak to her until all my things were replaced! My old lady knows that my tying bench is a "restricted area" and I don't think she would ever do that. Just to be safe, I'll mind my manners from now on. In all seriousness though, that's awful. I feel for ya. I would feel almost..."violated" if that happened to me. I wish you the best of luck getting your bench up and running. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oatka 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2011 If kids tell me that they were grounded by there parents, I ask if they want to share with the class why they were grounded, so the other kids can learn from their mistake. so, what did you do? We all have an interest in knowing (because we are human) to help keep our materials safe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stippled Popper 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2011 Sounds like you stepped over the line. However, your wife's response was to step over the line in turn compounding the problem... Is your wife computer literate?? Does she know you post here?? Your computer might be next!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robert M 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2011 so, what did you do? Probably one of the worst things you can do "I took her for granted was paying more attention to my fly fishing then her." Well she fixed that now didn't she. I should have seen it coming, My bad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert M 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2011 Your computer might be next!!! My computer is her computer except at work so she would be cutting off her nose to spite her face. I mean I know I "F"'d up but jeez a large chunk of my tying stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
