Would your wife notice if you got a new tractor?

Yet!! Like mother like daughter.

Heheheheh. Right on Murph. The older my Wife gets the more she reminds me of her Mother. Good and bad.

We had a priest in high school tell us that when we found a girl we thought we might want to marry, take a good long look at her mother... you'll be waking up next to that in 25 years!

True. I thank GOD I had a keen power of observation when I was young and dumb.

My M.I.L. was about 38 when I met my wife. She was an attractive woman. My F.I.L. would look at her and smile with a twinkle in his eye. 36 years later he still smiles at her! I still smile at my wife, too!

I had heard that when I was a kid and should have taken that advice. My ex-wife became just like her mother after 26 years of marriage. The odd thing is she did NOT like the way her mother was back then or when we parted ways.

On a better note, my current wife is great. I'm a tightwad and she encourages me to buy newer or better equipment.

I learned as a child that it is better to ask forgiveness than to ask permission.

In our house, my wife has horses, so she is in no position to complain about ANY equipment purchase I might want to make. Sadly, since my wife has horses, I can seldom afford to make any of my desired purchases

It sure is. :laughing:

I don't think Sharon or I have ever spent more than $200-$300 on anything (except her dogs, thank goodness they are cheaper than horses LOL) without discussing it. I can't imagine buying a tractor without it being discussed. Neither of us has total veto power but Sharon is a pretty good sounding board and reality checker for some of my proposals, which is probably a good thing. :laughing:

Yep, same in my house. Sometimes I think Terry is a bit slow to make a decision. But then I remember that I've just brought up the subject to her. I'd been thinking about it for days or weeks. I've learned to just sit back and be patient. She's always ultimately onboard, sometimes with some suggested modifications to the plan, which is fine.
