    Isn't that what the garage(100 ft from the backdoor) is for?

     

    Yes. Lock her in the garage.

    Greg,

    After 40 years of it, I think that I am a master in the art of marriage.        Well,..... it's the Master padlock on the garage.............  

    I hope you don't keep the chainsaw in the garage, because she won't be in there long.  Indifferent

    Got rid of the wife 2 years ago, got back into audio about 1 year and 364 days ago. The girlfriend is starting to make comments about my purchases, and I told her I won't make the same mistake twice, but she's hot and I guess I could lock her in the garage.................LMAO

    Indifferent That's still better than in an angry wife's hands. Lightning

    Or you could ask about shoe, cloths and purse purchases, or just say you were thinking about changing hobby's like everyone at work and start going to strip clubs with your friends.

    If those don't work, I guess lock her in the garage ? Stick out tongue  PS.... Don't listen to Terry/ IB , he will get you in trouble for sure ! Wink

    A relatively small investment I made was having a layer of insulation blown in between the upstairs and basement ceiling.  Remarkable difference really and it also helps out with heating and cooling costs. Umbrella

    I told her I don't give a darn how many shoes or purses she buys, as long as it's her money, and then I said I can't talk right now, there's an auction going off.  It's all good, she actually cranks it up herself once in a while.

    This thread is amusing, but I really don't get this non-universal difference that co-varies -- to a degree -- with gender. 
    • I know women hear the high frequencies more acutely, and may (?) have very slightly more sensitive hearing across the frequency spectrum, but how do we account for women with good hearing who like it good and loud?  I was in a studio setting with several women (players and sound mixers), some with amazing hearing, who liked it loud.  As I said, my wife likes it loud.  While my daughter has occasionally asked me to turn it down, she has also asked me to turn it up.
    • If it's social/cultural, and they haven't been to enough concerts, take 'em to some.
    • If there is a problem with the look of the equipment, discuss it.  My wife thinks the Klipschorns look elegant, less so the Belle .... When our new music room / library / home theater is finished, the Belle will be hidden (flush mounted) behind an acoustically transparent wall fabric, with its own grille cloth removed.  When I suggested hiding the Khorns too, she asked me not to.  .

     This is my wife, a little over 20 years ago. The mohawk is long gone, but she still has the heart of a punk rocker (albeit much matured). When I was thinking of selling the LaScalas many years ago, she said "No way". USNET, I sometimes have to ask her to turn it down too. Maybe we should start a support group called "Hey you kids, get the hell off my lawn!".

    That is way to cool, and who said punk is dead. I wasn't old enough to remember enough from that era but I did catch the tail end of it.  When there's all these younger kids running around with the Chuck Liddell Mohawk mine actually had one (not as extreme as your wife's) but with a couple of inches.
