no pics, no cool markers, just saying hi and thanks

Yeah, that's the one I was referring to... The wife is looking over my shoulder as I type and says I have to wait a little while before spending more on it.

Welcome coopy18,

And sleeping on the couch ain't that bad.

Yeah, the couch isn't that bad, but I would have to share it with three dogs. But, I think I have this all figured out...

3. NEVER let your wife know what you spend on paintball.
True story.

I need to start putting money in my paypal account so she won't know what I am spending it on. I figure if I only go to work two days a week I will save enough on gas to fund my developing paintball habit. She will just assume that I am still spending all that money on gas and lunch. Now the only part I need to work out is getting that two day work week approved by my boss.

My other option is to get her hooked on it, too. Then we could have this Sid and Nancy - shared addiction thing going on. We may have to work on the ending though...

welcome to ao

i havent been apart of ao for a long time ... but i am on here every night .. i got addicted to mags again after years of not owning one .... now i have a collection going ...

as for not being able to spend alot of money on what you want ... do what i did sell some stuff on ebay put it into paintball...... this way you clean house turn your unwanted clutter into cash... and you get to say i am not spending money .... i am offing stuff i dont use for what i want and need ........

Welcome to AO Coopy!

Wife looking over your shoulder and telling you to not spend any more money on your mag? That COULD be a good thing, Christmas is right around the corner, nothing says stocking stuffer like RogueFactor's '05 barrel socks

[tony3]

Awesome! Hope you like your mag! My first real high end gun was my rt mag and I LOVED that gun, I wish I could track it down and buy it again. Have fun! Also, remember, paintball is as addictive as drugs, use responsibly

What? He researched before he bought a 'Mag? Dang, that means we can't tell him about the elves inside or anything.

Shoot, and I thought we had another sucker...

Welcome to the madhouse!

[warbeak2099]

Right that's what sucked me in, the elves. Eh, it ended up being a decent gun...

Hehe, I felt the same exact way when I shot my mag for the first time Coopy (even though I'd been playing for 4 and a half years!). Glad you're with us. You sound like a pretty squared-away guy with all the research you did before going into the sport. That was smart. I mean hey, you ended up with a mag.

Oh, and a little advice on letting your spouse/girlfriend/parents/other dictatorial individual know about the fiscal end of paintball... I rue the day I told my parents what I've spent. Don't make the same damn mistake with your significant other!!!

[MayAMonkeyBeYourPinata]

Watch out!

Some of them bit!

Welcome to AO Coopy!!! I'm glad to hear you did lots of research on equipment first...that's always the best way to go!

As for the sleeping on the couch and going behind your wife's back, don't forget that will only cause more pain and make her hate your new found hobby.

Doobie used to always compare the money he spent on pball to my shopping money...that gave me zero grounds for an arguement!

And you already have the plan right...the only way to make this easier....is to get HER to play too!

[warbeak2099]

I suppose Trina's right. I was just kidding anyway... heh heh...
