John, what you need to do is buy her some cologne. When I order something I will also order a gift for the wife. It seems to keep her at bay. Good luck.

She's received gifts. Doesn't seem to help. She's been pretty understanding up until recently.

So how do you answer these questions from SWMBO?

1. Do you need more shaving cream/soap?
2. Your cupboard is full, where are you going to put that stuff?
3. Why do you need more than one razor?
4. How much did THAT cost?
...

1 - "No." It helps to act indignant. If things really aren't going well (and you don't have any expectations for the evening) you may elect to bring up her 25 pairs of shoes in her closet (or handbags, or whatever it is that your SWMBO has so many of)
2 - I purchased a wall cabinet so that SWMBO could get her stuff out from under the sink ("it is so messy under the sink, you'll enjoy having your stuff up where it is easier to reach) - now I have all of the space under the sink.
3 - Actually, I only have one razor... this hasn't become a problem for me... yet.
4 - "$20"... unless, of course it was less than $20... then the answer is "$10". You would be surprised how many "$20" finds are out there :wink:

1. Do you need more shaving cream/soap?
a. Jeez, I only have [N = 1/2 the total # of creams/soaps that you own] creams/soaps now.
b. Its a present for our son/your father/my brother.
c. Its for you. . .I thought rose was your favorite?
d. No, but I got *this* one because I thought that you would like the way it smells. . .while I'm lathering and shaving your legs for you.

2. Your cupboard is full, where are you going to put that stuff?
Whereever you'd like me to put it, dear.:smile:

3. Why do you need more than one razor?
Why, I bought this one for. . .
a. your father
b. your brother
c. your boss
d. you :tongue:

4. How much did THAT cost?
a. I got it in a trade.
b. It was free (with the purchase of this Plisson brush).
c. Its a very rare razor/brush/cream, and it will only appreciate in value.
d. You wouldn't believe how much money I'm saving now that I don't have to buy any more Mach III cartridges!

Well, she's shaving with some Trumpers Rose right now. Maybe these questions will answer themselves!

Not sure this will work right now as she's 9 months pregnant. But maybe next month!

I'd appreciate the help. I'm finding it hard to justify (to her) that my collection needs to grow.

Dude,

At 9 months pregnant, there is absolutely nothing you can say or do that will save you.

Your best bet is to change the subject, tell her how great and glowing she looks, what's our little munchkin going to look like ("I hope she looks like you sweetheart"), and tell her what a great job she's done getting the baby room so well prepared.

Other than than that, get up extra early to give yourself an enjoyable and leisurely shave and just take the slings and arrows that will come your way. You could be collecting coconut rinds and styrofoam cups and you'd still get the same grief.

Getting up early already happens as we have a 19 month old as well! I think I'm years away from a leisurely shave. Hmmm...coconut rinds...

...As you can tell I'm still gettin' down wit da lingo...

This might be another good time to bring up the "dictionary" of acronyms that was suggested a while ago... perhaps I'll start one soon if a more knowledgable member doesn't do so sooner (yes, I am trying to get somebody else to do it so that I don't have to showcase my acronym-ignorance :biggrin: ).

The best defense is a good offense. "I'll answer those questions if you will answer them about your shoes."

I kind of have a shoe thing going as well, so that one would backfire on me.

a dictionary would would be a great idea! It would be lame:cool: , but a great idea so us newbies don't have confused looks on our faces as we read. Unless that was your devious plan the whole time,:biggrin: :biggrin: Ignorance is bliss, but understanding the jokes may make us laugh harder.
IMHO.:biggrin:
In my Humble opinion

Kyle,

If you are taking on the job of compiling a B&B Acronyms Dictionary (a BBAD?) then I raise my mug (coffee mug, actually) to you. Thank you. I look forward to the BBAD when it becomes available.

If we try to include Ron's vocabulary, we may never finish the project. :)

1. If you need more lotion.
2. I thought maybe you'd discard some of your unused sweaters taking up space.
3. Why do you need more than one pair of shoes?
4. Probably less than your latest visit to Starbuck's.

OK, in all seriousness:
1. No, so perhaps I'll request them as gifts.
2. Good point. I'll have to use some up first.
3. They don't shave the same, so I like to alternate.
4. Enough to give me pause.

So is LetterK's offspring-to-be from the earlier posts. :thumbup1:

That fact that he's still acquiring shaving swag (I assume) should be an inspiration to us all.
