Pastor Plastic Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Took my wife to Columbus on Monday for her birthday. While at Polaris doing a bit of shopping she spotted a Hobby Lobby. She makes the statement that shook my world.... "Hey honey we should go there tomorrow and see if they have any kits you don't have". My heart still shutters when I think about it..... but it doesn't end there. We go Tuesday morning and I grab a couple kits and plan on walking away when I hear her say...... "Hey don't you need some paint for them"? I think I will keep her around for a while.......
george 53 Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 One reason I've been happily married for 39 years Bro! Hope you have as many!
Terry Sumner Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 That's pretty good my friend...but not good enough to win the title of Best Wife Ever! At least not until she equals my wife! And for that your lovely wife will have to do what my wife has done...and that is actually go out and BUY me kits! Yep...she has surprised me on more than one occasion by bringing me home some kit she heard me talk about or by ordering it on the sly from Squadron and having it show up with the UPS man! Add to that she has gone with me on a few shows and THAT my friend qualifys her for the Best Wife Ever title! And she's kept ME around now for what will be 30 years this coming December!!! All in good fun of course and may I congratulate you on picking such a wonderful lady to be your bride!
george 53 Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Terry, that's good, but I had to ask Theresa to STOP buying me the 1/8th monogram kits because we were running out of room! I was not gonna buy a bigger house just because of my models. Although, I know of guys who have!!!! Of course they aren't married either!

crazyjim Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 You guys are killing me here. I love reading these tales. I think my wife, Marcia, of 10 years is the best because she doesn't come out to the shop and doesn't ask how much I spend on my hobby. She did say likes the color on the '51 Henry J I'm trying to complete.
jsimmons Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Mine is equally keepable. For our anniversary last year, she got me an AR-15, and she regularly gives me Michaels and Hobby Lobby 40%-off coupons for model kits.
Models by Bear Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Wow such great stories . Now I have to add mine . My Wife is the greatest she has always supported my hobby and even gone to shows with me .

And to top it all off she is the most caring and beautiful women I know . Thanks Baby for being you .

Wagoneer81 Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 I love threads like this! After being married to a woman who was barely tolerant of my hobbies, (Yes, she's the 'Ex' now...) I can say that wives like these are more precious than diamonds and gold. Hold on to them for dear life and don't let go! I know that's what I would do... The good and wonderful thing is that you guys ACTUALLY REALIZE just how lucky you are. Life says that one must have the good with the bad. Without the bad, earth-shattering relationships that we've ALL been through, one might not really recognize or value the wonderful person standing before you like you do now... I wish all of you the continuing best in your lives and relationships!

plasticbutcher Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 I also have one of those Rare wives that not only supports my hobby, she also builds, and has placed in several shows, and is our club secretary, Think I better keep this one
Dirty Gringo Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 MAn all I ever get is "you bought more models,whats wrong with the other 200 in basement"
Ben Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 LOL, I have had ex girlfriends ask, "you payed how much for that!!??????" I always tell them, "look how much you'd pay for a nice diamond ring and it's basically a hyped up piece of dirt!" LOL
Agent G Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 As previously stated, it took four tries, but I finally got it right. G
Pastor Plastic Posted July 2, 2011 Author Posted July 2, 2011 How many pairs of shoes does she have? LOL!!! Too many to count!!!!!!
MikeMc Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 My bride of 36 years...( who also is sweet and pretty) " looks great!!!" ( models) lets me have a A/C area... OK a closet for my bench..near the window for venting the booth...with power... 78 degrees TV and a fridge in the next room, I'm quite happy!!
FASTBACK340 Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 An often overlooked thread, great idea! Spouses that connect are rare. I'm happy to see there are others with cool wives too. My gal Amy supports my hobbies, but I also reciprocate and involve myself with things that interest her. She made me a N.Y. Mets fan after having limited interest in the sport, I let her run free in Barnes & Noble or Boarders and she buys books like mad (she has a similar obsession with books..), and I attend concerts that I normally wouldn't go to, most recently Bon Jovi. In return she let's me buy all the toys, Basses, and Musclecar parts (within reason) that my heart desires. But showing restraint is key. Too much "freedom" will lead to abuse. As long as it goes both ways, your golden. Although I DID flat-out refuse to go see the Foreigner, Journey, and Night Ranger show with her...
