warshawlawI settled a rather sizable case last fall and brought home a big chunk of change. The glint in my wife's eye was unmistakeable. Six weeks, a paint job, a complete build-out of a home office for her (my crap is confined to my actual office), a refurbished bathroom, and new floor to ceiling hardwood built-ins for the bedrooms later, I saw my lusted-after T206 Plank disappear in a whiff of contractors' bills. Hence my prior screed.
Shammies (sp?): Oh, I have a friggin' load of those things on the bed. Every night I pull the damned things off so I can get in; every morning she puts 'em back on top. And when the cat pukes on them, guess who has to hear about it...
As far as gettin' some goes, I like it mind you, but I'd still have to go with the cards for the long haul.
Oh, and never, ever remind your spouse that there is a freewheeling market on cards; they get that unmistakeable glint in their eyes...
