Last week I put my Shirley fab cooker up for sale with the intention of buying a new cooker when it sold.last night my wife asked what I would do with the money. When I told her then I got the lecture you don't need another cooker.she wants a new shed built.i said I would never sell a Shirley cooker to buy a shed.i go to work to buy stuff like that. Now I'm selfish. Go figure.:crazy:

Where did she get the idea that you were selling your smoker so you could build her a shed anyway??!!!?
She wants a shed, she can sell something of hers.

You will be getting more of those for sure
 
Being serious, why did you not tell her why you were selling your smoker before you did it. That is what I would have done with my wife. Build the shed, happy wife, happy life.
 
Sometimes I forget how good I have it being happily divorced all of you that keep the jewels in her purse have my deepest sympathy :laugh:
 
Crappy position to be in. If you buy the cooker, you'll never hear the end of it which at least for a while will crush any excitement of using it. It's not like your spending money allotted for the shed to buy a cooker. You're selling a cooker to buy a different cooker. So the answer to her question, "do you really need another cooker?" The answer is "No, that's why I'm selling a cooker and replacing it with a new cooker."

I did the same thing. My wife was thrilled!
 
Women... What can you do? Can't fight them... Trust me I know I tried and it doesn't work at all. Give up and build the shed.

Since I stopped fighting over the little things my wife buys me a 6 pack of rolling rock beer every weekend and I occasionally get a big brisket surprise. Oh and somehow I don't have to mow the lawn anymore.... I don't get it and I am not even going to pretend to get it. Just nod your head and say yes dear and your life will be better.... I am serious not joking at all. Nod the head and say yes dear and you too can have a lawn mowing wife who puts a 6 pack in your fridge every weekend and a brisket on occasion. It makes no sense to me but my lawn sure looks good and I don't even have to lift a finger anymore. Life is good :) oh and I really love Rolling Rock beer. Although it may be so she can tolerate me. She says I am more fun with beer in me and not so uptight. I never thought I was uptight but she is happier and so am I. I got beer, farking huge brisket, and nicely mowed lawn that I don't have to do anything to anymore and did I mention we only have a push mower. :) life is really good.
 
Well it sucks that nobody would buy your Shirley. But to console her you can build that shed this weekend. Then maybe just by some miracle someone will come along and buy that shirley in about a month. Then it's new cooker time.
