    Nah...you can sleep when you're dead. I hope your will includes karma instructions for giving away your gear on Club Polk B)

  • Good start would be to have a really nice supper you made for her and carry on from there.

    Next step is what SC said above 😂

    Best of luck to you sir.

    I hope that's not her parking spot in the garage...that would put things off to a bad start. I'm sure your kids will be excited...so maybe try to tap into that.

    Last night, I got the call that they were coming today
    My wife didn’t know about it
    So I washed the sheets and did extra errands around the house like prep the kids’ snacks for school for the week…

    Then I debated do I tell her now or wait till they arrive.

    I told her speakers were coming today, last night.

    “Okaaaaay…..”

    :|

    You just may be on your speaker acceptance journey my friend, excellent…. 👍

    Tell her if she doesn't like it she can sleep in the crates for a night. That'll learn her.

    Way funny.
    Not sure I’d go this route though 🤣

    If I ever said that to my wife, it’s gonna be a free for all for my gear. She’s gonna put all that in the curb

    "Yes, Dear" should be your standard answer for a while.
