OMG, I'm not alone!

My wife calls it "Daddys Toy Store" and anytime the kids are in the
car I would say "I got to stop by my toy store" and they would be like
OH DAD!!! we don't want to go!! My wife isn't so bad, she wants to get


This is great. I would drag my then 7 year old along, (now almost
11),
and after she had exhausted all the dinosaur and car kits and the
kites,
and the bingo machine (great coupon special at $5.99, we use it a
lot),
one day I told her she could surely find something here for up to $10,
and she came bouncing over to me with a smile saying daddy I want
this pogo stick! It was the big plastic accordian type plunger, and
the
kids just had a blast with it. When they tired of it I had an extra
plunger.
It's all in the eye of the beholder.

Now when I get the coupons each week I print only the ones I really
want, then only put the ones I need in my car, and try to leave some
of
them behind when I go into the store. I went out to the garage and
counted at least 11 things that I've never yet opened.
But I'm sure one day I will need them... Right?

My wife was raised by a father who had her helping him tear down and
rebuild car's and farm equipment, so she know's her way around tools
and hardware stores. We both know to stay away from HF unless we
really need something, but that doesn't stop one or the other of us
from going into HF when a new sale flyer comes out. We hadn't been
married a week when she'd reorginized all of my tools and declaired
them "her's". Now she has her own set of tools and I have my own set
to, we even carry basic tools in our vehicles, so I guess you could
say that buying at HF on sale day's has allowed me to maintain my
marriage and sanity. Not everything came from HF but enough to need a
support group for sure!

I thought it was bad that Home Depot was running this radio ad:

Where are we going Dad? Home Depot. What are you going to get? I don't
know, I'll figure it out when we get there!

Recently I am discovering that if I take my wife, my trips take three
times as long...didn't know she was interested in this stuff.

Lucky for me HF is 20 minutes away and it is a very small store. Home
Depot is only 3 minutes away. I need help. It takes less time to go to
HD and buy another tool that to try to find the one I know I have
somewhere. I have 5 measuring tapes and 6 of the reversible tip screw
drivers...and I still can't find one when I need it!

You should thank China for that. You couldn't say that if you
would buy American.

I know the feeling about those lost screwdrivers and tape measures.
Try to resist buying another one though. Just remember, you will
always find that missing tool in the last place you look. The secret
is to always look there first. BFG
