Relax and breath. Don't let her know how badly you want to put that thing together, drive to the beach and abandon all your adult responsibilities.

Tell her she's right. The weather isn't that great right now. Tell her to pack that sucker into the closet, except for the instruction manual and the dvd, so that when you do have it you'll know how to operate the darn thing. There is a little give and take there. Then after reading the manual and watching the instructional dvd a hundred times either she'll fall prey to it's inticing promises of treasure or she'll just have had enough and surrender without bloodshed.

She must sleep sooner or later!.
You,ll make it a couple weeks. May not be well focused though.

Fight fire with fire. Take all her shoes hostage and work out an exchange.

 

[bigscoop]

Tell her you only have 14 days to decide if you want to keep it after the purchase, after that there can be no returns.

"Honey, Sweetie Pie, Buttercup, I just have get it out there and make sure it's fully functional before it's too darn late. I mean, you don't want to give me a broken gift for my birthday that can't even be returned, do you?" (Just don't come back after only one hunt and say it works fine. These tech things take time! )

Alllllll good strageties......Big Scoop......I think you nailed it!!!

If I took all my wifes shoes.....it would be like DEFCON 4.

"Honey, Sweetie Pie, Buttercup"

Now, from a woman's point of view:
Just those three words should do it. ( and don't forget to include the pleading puppy dog eyes)

Only if Janet Reno were still around, she would know what to do. Best of luck.

She has to sleep sometime...

 

[bigscoop]

If all else fails...., fine wine, shrimp cocktail, romantic music, dim lighting and scented candels, war body oils, and a full body massage. If that don't do it at least your hands won't get dry and chapped for a while.

Try and stay calm Shawn! I have Saint Marys Police Chief Tim Hatch, on the other line. The SWAT team is formulating a plan to get you and your new machine out of the house safely. Hold on Shawn.. What's that Chief Hatch? Yeah. Uh-huh. OK. Alright Shawn, the Chief says to try and buy his men some time. Have you got any chocolate or beverage alcohol in the house?

Arrange for a weekend get-away just the 2 of you. Some place where she can go shopping & you hit the parks, then at night wine & dine. Or better yet, join us in Florida for a hunt.

Be extremely sweet to her. words do magic. a woman has an excellent reception to feelings than to logic and reasoning. then give her what she wants, she will give it to you in a second. there is a saying that said " you can kiss a lioness if you are sweet"
good luck

 

[Sandscoopdan]

[NYwaterhunter]
