Personally, I'd just have to lay the AMEX statement on the table and walk off.... Those numbers would speak volumes....:-)

One doesn't put themselves in the dog house, per se. We all have "over exuberant" sprees, but most see that as an opportunity to learn to appreciate the generic brands of mac and cheese as well as the finer points of canned spam.

Or as Elwood Blues might say, have you ever had a "wish sandwich"?

The question should be "how does one get themselves OUT of the dog house?"

My secrets to NOT being in the doghouse:

My wife NEVER gets into my humidors, cigars don't interest her.

She works nights and sleeps all day.

I get regular UPS deliveries for my work, and as luck would have it, the Devil Site ships UPS.

I have my own bank accounts for my business.

I always laugh and chuckle every time I see her wearing something new, or something new appears in the house...I never ever get angry or ask how much it costs. Ever.

I have won the lotteries here a few times, and got bombed at random once, so packages showing up in the regular mail are rarely questioned either.

Add all of this up and I can quietly spend all of my money in peace! My only concern next is that I am running out of room :-)

:-)

I think it would forward this thread if you could tell us your definition of doghouse. I am not quite sure we are all on the same page.

I find I can get by on two meals a day during the week and one large meal each weekend day if I just sleep in.

Classic mistake bro!

Dogs do Dog stuff by nature, it's only when they are caught in the act that they go into the Doghouse willingly.

Dogs don't have a conscience, or feel guilty for doing that awesome Dog thing they just did!

5 minutes before I typed this, my wife woke up to let the dogs outside, they were bugging her upstairs. She came down to the Man Cave and asked me to go pick up the dead bunny on our patio. One of our little heathens finally caught something and killed it. They chase squirrels and rabbits in our yard all the time, but it seems they finally got one, and left it on the patio for us.

They couldn't wait to get back out there, but the wife was holding them back while I went out with the gloves and bagged it up.

The Dogs thought they did a great Dog thing, my wife thought they did a bad thing.

If she didn't see the dead rabbit, the Dogs would never know she was disappointed from the tone of her voice. I on the other hand, rubbed their bellies and called them good Doggies. Cause they did what Dogs do, and they don't feel bad about it.

Buyers remorse huh?

Pay your bill, destroy your credit card, and dont apply for a new one.

Unless you do that, youre pretty much phucked.

I'm not sure what it looks like on the outside of the doghouse. It's gotten pretty damn cozy, really. :-)

I personally would like to thank you for going on a buying spree. It made room for my incoming stuff in my Aristocrat. :-)

300 in a week.....don't beat yourself up over it. I spent $450 last week and this week I'm unemployed. Life does that sometimes. Just ummm "promise" yourself you won't do it again:-):-)
