    So I was sitting in my recliner very early this morning and then it happened. My 100 watt incandescent light bulb in the floor lamp burned out. Now what to do ?? Can I legally change this bulb and how?? Will I need help ?? Can my wife help or do I need to call an electrician ???
    How do I dispose of it when I get it out ??? Do I need to contact the EPA ?? Is this even legal ?? Can I put in another one ?? So many questions and I don't want to break any laws.

    Well I went to my local gun shop Wed night to buy some ammo. Well when i got there they had a NIB Taurus 99 in SS. Well it was on sale for 299.00 so i got it. Well my problem is when my girl friend finds out i bought another gun she will have a fit and be very pissed. Since i have a beretta 92 FS Inox she will be even more pissed because she will think that they are the same thing. So my question is how do i get away with this?

    You know when you try and try being the best husband and best father you can, but you just can't break down some walls for reasons you don't know? I'm a great husband and love my wife very deeply and show her and support her constantly. I've got this part of family down.

    Where I lack is being a father. I wouldn't say I'm a bad father, but I have alot of room for growth. The very close relationship I have with my wife doesn't extend to my kids. I love my kids and would move the earth to keep them safe, warm, and fed but I just don't have that close relationship with them that I see other fathers have. I want it, but don't know how to get it. I'm trying very hard though. I'm even going to church to try and learn how a father gets that close relationship with their kids and I hadn't gone to church since I was 10 years old or so. The problem is fully mine and not theirs. I feel like I need a switch to be turned on inside of me to have those close relationship with them.

    I know I'm losing time and will regret it later. I'm trying though. Kind of embarressing asking for help, but I need it.

    I just let my 13 yr old daughter hit the "Buy it Now" button on another xp-100. She says "Daddy, That's our gun". I'm teaching her to "just say no" when Ma Ma asks her stuff!! Pay for the gun and forget about it!! She'll make somebody a good wife one day!!

    Always remember that there are thousands of women and girls out there wanting a husband.You are lucky finding out up front about her resistance to you being happy.So do what you know best.Find another and try the same thing on her.If she is happy that you are happy marry her before I find her.GOOD LUCK

    you're getting good advice here from the peanut gallery. If she can't understand and accept your tastes now, dump her a** while it's still cheap and easy. Life is too short to be saddled with someone who doesn't respect your lifestyle.

    Rob,Do what I've done; explain to her that the gun is an investment, and that guns appreciate in value better than the stock market. Also tell her that you're looking for a "partner" in life, not an "opponent".If these ideas don't work, go to the Phillipines and find a sweet Filipno !Good luck !Jim

    If you aren't living with her it's none of her business. I'm lucky because my wife doesn't care how many guns I buy or anything else as long as there is money to live on left in the bank.

    Thanks for the good ideas. A lot of you guys know just what i am going throught.Well i tryed getting her a Pretty silver gun and it did not work. She does not think that the investment idea is a good idea but i do make money when i sell guns.Well i am lucky that she does not live with me but she still likes to tell me what to do with me money. I think she would rather i take her shopping. Maybe i need to look for a new girl friend who at least respects my ideas and maybe she would even go to the range with me. (hey i can dream right)

    Rob, all this advice from these guys to dump her sounds pretty harsh. Truth is, they are right. When you are going together, not even living together, it is not her business. If she opposes it now, think how much more strident her oppposition will become if you marry her. Fellow I know has a bumper sticker that says "Life is too short to hunt with an ugly dog." Life is to short to have a wife/girl friend who opposes your passions.

    Does she shoot?If she doesn't, does she atleast not disapprove of you shooting?If she does, give her her choice of the two (is that ALL?) you own now & then go shooting together.

    Well she does not shoot and she does not want to. I wanted her to try to shot a 22 (rifle or pistol) but she did not want to. I am supprised she is so aganist me owning guns. Well i guess i should see this as a wake up call. She will not even see me this weekend. It's not like i have a lot of guns i have 4 hand guns and 3 rifles and one old shotgun. She thinks i am some redneck because i like shooting. I also golf and fish it's not like i am out shooting 24 hours a day. I all ready sold my motocycle because she hated it. It was just an old suzuki but i really enjoyed it.

    Better keep looking & be glad you found out early.I've been married almost 25 years; the first two weren't as good as the two we spent dating & it's been downhill ever since. She inherited enough late last year to allow her to retire. Now the only time I have to myself is in the garage (reloading ammo) or when I go to the range to shoot.

    Rob; tell her you bought a Gun Raffle ticket a while back from a guy at work and you won. They then shipped it to the Dealer of your choice. I bought these tickets 4 or 5 times before and never really thought that I would win something.

    He Dog said it right. You bought a gun. She didn't like that. That's her problem and it's time for you to look for a woman who shares your likes.

    When I finally got too many for her to keep track, its been down hill since. When she asks "Is that a new gun, Nope I've had this one for a while now." I learned this trick from her and her clothes.

    I've been doing some more thinking about this situation, particularly the fact that she won't see you this weekend over this.She knew you liked guns when she met you probably, and still went out with you, and now wants to change you to suit her ideals.It sounds like she's a "controller" personality, and it's her way or the highway.Several have suggested that you dump her before it's too late, and if you care for her or truly enjoy her company, that will be hard for you. Since she won't let you include her in the things that make you happy, it may well be time to hit the flush valve - and I don't mean just to see how she reacts, hoping she'll come running back to you - I mean end it for real and for good.Someone said that elegible women outnumber elegible men by about 3 to 1, I'd start looking for the other 2 elegibles right away!You don't need this kind of hassle in your life, unless you want to live the rest of your life "her way".Good Luck !

    One thing you will find out about women is that no matter how tolerant of the things you did when you were dating at some point in time they will try to change you. It's like the women who are attracted to race car drivers and then do everthing they can to get them to stop racing after they marry. If she does not accept your hobbies now she probably never will. She may tolerate it for the time being with the thought that she will be able to change you later. Make your choice carefully.

    Time to walk away friend. I once had a girlfriend ask me what I loved more, her or my 1947 Dodge pick up. I should have said the pick up, within six months I had neither one.On the brighter side, the one I'm engaged to now, took me to visit her family for the first time in NYC. One day we went for a walk in Manhattan, she says "stand right here I want to take your picture" After she does I turn around and the little brass sign says Holland & Holland!!!! Was the most fantastic gun shop I'd ever been in. They're out there just keep lookin.WOODS

    Sounds like you need to sit down and have a good talk with her. She must be okay with you having guns, otherwise she would have left you earlier with those other guns. I don't think it's the GUN you bought, but the gun you bought for YOU. If you bought her a nice $299 bag, it would probably be okay. If you bought YOURSELF a nice $299 bag, she would probably have the same problem she has for the gun. It does not matter what your passion is, she has to respect that, like I assume you respect hers, right? If it can't go both ways, then she has to go because marriage is a two way street, not one way. GD

    If everytime you want to buy another gun & your expected to get her something of the same value, that make gun buying twice as expensive. Don't go down that road, wether you each get an allowance from the household budget or keep your own checks, your money is your and buy what you want, and her money is hers and let her by what she wants, and stop fighting over dumb stuff.

    Tell her that you had a lot of time to think, over the weekend since she wouldn't talk to you. Then tell her there is something you need to discuss with her. (Her attitude about you buying firearms) and Make sure she understands how you feel. If she blows up or isn't understanding I would send her on down the road...Now if she is a super fox, then you may want to continue the negociations for a while...aw that isn't true most beauty ends up being on the inside anyway....OTO

    My .02 is... don't lie to her. Period. Tell her, or don't tell her, but don't lie about it. I don't think it is any of her business what you do with your money, but I did ask my girlfriend if I could buy a '66 corvette from a friend. Only reason I asked was because of the financial agreements that would extend beyond "my single days". In other words, I was merely telling her that she was going to have to help pay for it. As for gun purchases now, I usually "pass it by her", but the bottom line is, if I can afford it (or not), it is my decision, and that is it. I accept the responsibility of the finacial burden.
