Thread: Marrage Vs Table Saw

Hey, Stinky

According to my copy of Burke's Peerage (or that might actually be Pierre's Burkage), the correct mode of address isn't Mr & Mrs Stinkalot but Sir & Lady Stinkalot. I'm sure Sir Chizalot can confirm the accuracy of all this.

Anyway, congratulations - I hope it all works out for you both.

I would definitely NOT have bought the ring. I really don’t believe that many women, (maybe 1 in 500) can tell the difference between a piece of cut glass and a diamond or ruby. It is all in the presentation. A very small piece of glass in a big gold ring will please her just as much as 100 carats of diamond and she will never know the difference.

If fact, I would be prepared to bet that if you actually did have a 100 carat diamond set in a gold coloured aluminium ring and a 1 carat diamond set in a gold ring then your average woman would completely scorn the 100 carat ring.

Any feelings of guilt you may harbour may be completely assuaged and ameliorated by the ownership of your new equipment.

Stinky,

Now that you've been married for a bit, should you have gotten the Table Saw instead?

Grunt

Grunt .... the marrage seems to be working well .... the machinery keeps on coming. Since the big day I have managed to get a 2hp dusty, hitachi MV12 router and shortly a jointer and thicknesser. No saw yet but its not far off

Go the Stinkette you will be amazed how untemperamental a tablesaw can be which means when you finally do get it you will appreciate it so much more. Mind you after the wedding that analogy can be applied in a number of areas.

It's amazing the warm inner glow a woman can offer up at times.

It's also amazing the warm inner glow a tablesaw can offer up having measured twice and cut correctly.

It's amazing how a table saw can also treat you badly should you do the wrong thing.
It's understandable that a woman would do the same with more severe connotations!

Investments in both may or may not be for life but to ignore their whims is tantamount to a detrimental response.

Tablesaws are never warm hearted but stay true with appropriate petting,whereas a woman will always stay warm, not necessarily always true, but with continued petting may be accessible.

No slight intended.
Cheers

Mine has an uneven surface, blunt teeth and objects to being locked up in the shed at night alone, does not like being rubbed down with floor polish and being cleaned out internally with compressed air and a small brush.

This is an exercise in lateral thinking, if ever I saw one.

Seems to me she now has what she wants. The solution at hand can be summed up in one word. Postpone.

Postpone, delay, put off, whatever - until you have your saws and whatever else you need. She will soon come around to the idea if she has to wait another 9 years before the wedding bells toll.

I'd suggest kids before then, that way you can use them to throw flowers at her feet, lose the next ring etc. You never know, you may lose a finger with your new saw (touch wood you dont) and she may reject you forever after. Get the kids now. (They are well worth the effort, no matter what anyone says.)

J!

Congrats in order Stinky,

Another one bites the dust

About 4 years ago when funnily enough I was also 26, I proposed to Ms routermaniac.... shortly after she became Mrs routermaniac.

Marriage does add another dimension to your relationship and it was the best thing I've done. Good luck to you and I hope things work out.

PS No reason why you cant get the table saw next year

regards
