LoneWolf15 Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Saturday afternoon , Kathie asked what I felt like doing that evening . Thought about it for a second , then I said , " Lets go shopping , I'll use up my gift cards " First stop , Best Buy ! CDs for $4.99 , I bought 18 of them ! Shop music ! Next stop , Michaels ! Walk to the model isle , we're looking at kits . She stops , looks , then asks , " What is this ? " she's holding a brochure for Revell's National Contest with Stacy David's smiling face on it ! " It's a contest " , I said . " I can read " , was her reply ! " My question has two parts " , she said . " First off , how long has this been going on , and secondly , why haven't you entered ? " My reply that this was the third year for the contest caused her right eyebrow to begin rising . This is never a good sign ! Lmao ! My flippant answer to the second part of the question caused the her eyes to narrow . That is never , ever , a good sign ! No longer lmao ! She went down through the list of the possible entries .... Yuck , yuck , double yuck , no way , and uh uh ! I thought I was in the clear .... But nooooooo ! She reached up on the shelf and pulled the '41 Chevy pickup out . " Here you go " , she said . " And it will be done by May. 15 th , got it ? " Now , as this is all going on , three guys are in the isle with us , taking all this in . They are trying , without much luck to hold it all in , and failing miserably ! As we walk past them , I asked if they thought it was funny , and they immediately burst out laughing ! I them told them if they thought that was funny , wait until I tell their significant others who were standing at the end of the aisle , about their husbands secret stash of model kits ! They quit laughing and one said to me , " Oh Dear God , mister , please don't do that , she'd kill me if she found that out ! " " Besides , how did you know ? " I told him , " All young modelers have secret stashes , us older guys don't have to worry about that ! " Kathie and I walked out of the store laughing like two loons ! So thanks to Stacy David and his smiling face , I have a new project and a deadline ! Doggone it !
1930fordpickup Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Thank you for the good laugh Donn. So, I am not the only person who can not walk by the CD'S at Best Buy . After 800 plus you would thing I have enough music.
Hollywood Jim Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 That's it !!! I'm getting a divorce..................... . .
Kaleb Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Rifl that is great, and it would be something my wife would say and do. I have to tell her this story.

LoneWolf15 Posted April 1, 2013 Author Posted April 1, 2013 Thank you for the good laugh Donn. So, I am not the only person who can not walk by the CD'S at Best Buy . After 800 plus you would thing I have enough music. There is never enough music , into the airbrush booth and just crank it up ! One of the neighbors told Kathie he loves when I'm painting , says he loves to listen cause there is such a wide variety coming out of the shop . Plus , it drowns out his wife when she's yelling at him ! Lmao !
Hollywood Jim Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 . My point exactly ! We're not married ! Otherwise , I'd be secret stashin' left and right ! Lmao ! Oh OK, now I see why you seem so lucky to have a companion that wants you to build models and enter contests. I live with the exact opposite situation. ..
Guest G Holding Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Ohhhhhhh , thank you very much ! Now I'm really confused ! Should I go chronological at 56 ( Seniors ) Mental state ( 18 ) Heart ( 21 ) whaaaat ? Hey....YOU wanna be "The Old Man" :rolleyes:
LoneWolf15 Posted April 2, 2013 Author Posted April 2, 2013 No wanna , involved ! I am The Old Man , have been since The nickname was bestowed upon me at the ripe old age of 28 ! Lmao !
1930fordpickup Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Donn, my father goes by OML, Old Man Lemble as his son inlaws call him.
LoneWolf15 Posted April 2, 2013 Author Posted April 2, 2013 Even my kids call me Old Man , the youngest since she was a little girl . Once upon a time , this was considered a slight or better yet , a sign of disrespect . I love it , I earned it ! Someone calls me "Mr Yost " , I tell them the guy that earned that moniker lives in Scott Twp , the one I call Dad ! Lol !

DrKerry Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Hey, look at it this way. Building that model will be a heck of a lot better than the "Honey Do List"!!!!!!!!! Think about it now!!!!!! LOL By the way does your wife have a sister? Or could she at least shed some light on my wife.......
LoneWolf15 Posted April 2, 2013 Author Posted April 2, 2013 Tick tick tick that deadline will be here soon lol Lmao ! Ohhhh , you're really helping this situation out , huh ?

LOLBy the way does your wife have a sister? Or could she at least shed some light on my wife....... Uh uh ! No sisters ! As for shedding light , nope , she's wired completely different than most females and doesn't relate well with the status quo ! Thank God ! Lol ! Her honey do list ? I need to install the new a/c condensing unit at her house . My honey do list ? A mile long and ever growing at my house ! No , we're not married ! I'm allergic to it ! Been there , done that , not on my bucket list ! Lol !
Jantrix Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Really Donn? Your honey-do list includes building a model, something you do for fun, and you are complaining? Man, my heart bleeds for you, you poor henpecked guy.

Dr. Cranky Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Good luck with the contest, and remember to take the best pictures humanly possible.

Man, my heart bleeds for you, you poor henpecked guy. Lmao ! Rob , I've been called many things , but henpecked ain't one of 'em , my boy ! While I can't relate to the spouses reactions to the hobby aspect , I can sympathize otherwise ! Softball caused more wars in my household then I could begin to count ! Once again , very lucky ! Kathie loves softball , she coaches , keeps score , and travels with me to the tournaments . As I said , she's a guys kinda girl , no la la about her ! Lol ! Oh , she owns half the business , builds herself , and loves the model car world ! Life is just soooo tough for me ......... Lmao !
