Now all of your posts are giving me laughs! I must get the doormat that says to hide pkgs. And some of you have very funny husbands.....a loading dock or extended warehouse. So funny. The husband and dog stories just cannot be beat anytime. I cannot believe that now my dog has "selective hearing" just like DH. Dogs do seem to not like delivery people or peddlers. I really think mine just wants to get out the door to greet, but with her barking she scares everyone to death. She is only 30 # but sounds like 90 #. She once chased a young boy clear to the curb that was peddling school items. All she wanted was him to pet her. He dropped everything and it still funny to me but it should not be. My husband and I both agreed when we got married (40 years ago and already established in our lives,) that we would split household bills and big purchase items, but the rest of the money that we earned was our own to do as we please.

An added note to puppylips about the candle scents... I started with Homeworx Harvest scent of caramel pumpkin spice popcorn and not liking it too much. Reminds me of burnt popcorn. Hope some different notes come out in it as it burns.

Yeah, that's how it should work in every home.  And your's is going to smell heavenly!  I love scented candles.   I never could understand women who hide things from their husbands.  Weird.   As long as no one is spending recklessly; the husband and wife should each get to have the things that make them happy.  No apologies or excuses needed.

Wanted to come back and add that I mentioned this thread to my husband and he got a good laugh.  He's a sport, really.

 

I never have to justify ANYTHING I order -- EVER!  

 

WHY?

 

I worked for 38 years commuting 2 hours each way.  I earned good money, and now, have a great pension.

 

He is forever buying work trucks and work equipment.  His trucks and garage are filled to beyond capacity with tools -- expensive ones.

 

Yea, he uses everything, but so do I.....still....one truck is more than I spend all year.

 

So, I don't want any raised eyebrows or back talk when the UPS or FedEX guy rolls up.

I was laughing at getting busted and read it to DH.  He laughed and kept asking how many candles are in a box like he couldn't understand how there could be so many boxes then he asked if she lives in a monestary.  LOL  Men just don't get it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA  This has to be one of the funniest threads I've read in a long time. I feel your pain sisters.....trust me. 

 

The doormat is awesome, the dogs going beserk especially hits home. I have a little 23 pound Frenchie and he goes rabid I'm telling ya'......it's quite hysterical because he's afraid of his own shadow any other time. He outs me on purpose I think! Smiley Happy

 

Hubs gets an annoyed look, but usually just shakes his head.
