    It is cheap when you can pay with money.

    It is not nearly as cheap when you have to pay with body parts, buildings, glass eyes, or ultimately, coffins.

    I think you made a wise and good choice, and five years from now you really will not remember the few hundred dollars but you would certainly remember burn scars. I do not mean to be harsh but them there is da' facts, at least as I see it.

    Exactly! Especially when your wife will leave the damm tree on and go to bed. Used to puss me off to no end. Now I unplug the tree before I go to bed.

    Came downstairs this morning to see that all the outside lights were still on. :headbang:

    Why not put them on a timer?

    'Cause they do not like it. Not one little bit!

    I put my wife on a timer one time and it got so noisy in the house I just took her off.

    :)

    Yup. Even when I'm last to bed and make sure everything is off, she'll turn the tree back on if she gets up in the middle of the night. WTF!:hair:

    Go ahead and try it if you have to but I am telling you, there is NO doubt she will not like being on a timer.

    :rofl: :lol:

    My wife tried (tries) to 'help me drive' and I do not like that one bit either. :D

    Here is an easy way to tell who is really loyal and likes you: take your spouse / significant other and your dog and put them both in the trunk of a car for one hour. Then open the trunk and see which one is happy to see you. A very enlightening experiment!

    ;):rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol:

    Neither of them is the answer to the trunk question. Dog and I to tolerate each other at best.
