Pet Peeve

[smstonypoint]

Please excuse the rant.

I appreciate posters on TBN sharing discussions/photos of their latest acquisitions.

However, they do a disservice to some of us when they refer to those acquisitions as "toys," even though it is a completely accurate description. Some of us have invested considerable time and effort in convincing our better halves that our purchases are not "toys," but rather absolute necessities. I would request that posters refrain from the use of the term "toy" in the interest of preserving marital harmony for the general populace.

End of rant.

Should also mention how hard and tough it is to drive this machinery

Notice it is Veteran and Gold members with this rant. With hopefully happy wives.

Us junior members should take note.

And I thought it was "Toys for Big Boys":laughing::laughing::laughing:

I suppose that I'm one of the lucky newlyweds (only 36 years.) I bought a new tractor on Wednesday and my wife was disappointed because we won't get it until next week.

I love being married to a Country Girl!

I've got you beat by 10...married 46 yrs. and the Mrs. loves to see me happy on my Toy tractors..Just lucky I guess:thumbsup:

My wife not only loves to see me happy on the tractor or rebuilding/building whatever I'm working on at the time. She'll fight me for the drivers seat sometimes.

I forgot to mention, my wife has a twin sister who's available.

Mine too, but I think it's because that she's not having to put up with my company. We've been married for 42+ years.

Hmm...is this a serious or humor-filled rant?

Guess I'm lucky, the only response I get when I pull up with a new tractor is "what's that for"? :thumbsup:

I don't think I've ever seen my wife on one of my tractors, till I'm gone...then she mows the lawn with the ZTT!

I guess "toys" to us, but definitely "tools" to the spouses!

And, I've got some catching up to do, only married 15 yrs...

Now, my kids have got a pile of "toys" that irks the **** out of me....but that's another story/rant!

1st of all, she has figured this out long ago. She only puts you through the hoops to watch you do tricks to share with her girl friends.

2nd, I agree with Teg about making it seem complicated. The other day I was spot spraying weeds and my wife came out and volunteered to drive the tractor for me. I suggested since I had been at it for a couple of hours and maybe she could spray and I could drive. After little bit of being stared at, I agreed that if she would drive, it would help me a lot.

I've been only married for 10 years and got my toy sorry tool three years ago. When it came she said "why do you need that" I replied "its the same with you and shoes, I wanted it and it looks good on me" I still get stared at once in a while but she buys her shoes and what not knowing I wont complain.
