Advice to Hams and SWL's from Igor
There's a LESSON here you hams and radio freaks.
What happened to this baseball collector can happen to a radio collector also....and I know SEVERAL xyl's who'd just LOVE an opportunity to trash or sell off all of her hubby's "ham radio junk" just to have him pay her more attention..... ; ) ---- cut --- Ex-Wife Auctions Man's $200,000 Baseball Collection From the News Section of: http://www.voyeurweb.com/main/Main.html TUSCON, Arizona -- A woman whose husband spent $200,000 on baseball memorabilia took revenge - by divorcing him and selling it on eBay. The husband, 42, told his wife, 45, they couldn't afford kids or a house, and even took money from her bank account to add (baseball items) to his collection. The divorce judge ruled she can have the rare baseball cards and caps, and she is auctioning them online, according to news media reports. The couple had been married for 17 years. When asked about the auction, the wife said: "I'm giggling." -- Holy Strike Out, Voyeurwebbers! It sounds like this guy got caught looking at an inside fastball and never even swung at it, hehehe! Meanwhile, his wife managed to knock one out of the ball park. It wasn't just a grand slam, either, it was a 200-grand slam, hehehe! There's also an important lesson in this story, Voyeurwebbers: ***If you're hobby becomes your life ... it's definitely time to get a new hobby***. -- Igor |
Indeed -- your wife or your rig (baseball cards)

Marriage is for suckers IMHO. It used to mean somethng many, many years ago but womens mind set have changed to much it isn't worth it now. I've seen FAR too many marriages go down the toilet for my money. |

I've seen FAR too many marriages go down the toilet for my money. A guy walks into a bar, sits down. Tells the batrender "A round of drinks on me!" After getting hs drink, the fellow next to him asks "What's the occasion Pal?" "I'm getting married tomorrow! Now I'll be able to get laid any time I want!!" The other fellow says "Funny, but that was the reason I got divorced!" - Mike KB3EIA - |

There's also an important lesson in this story, Voyeurwebbers: ***If you're hobby becomes your life ... it's definitely time to get a new hobby***. -- Igor My wife never had to work for my hobby. Before we married we discussed it. I had been a ham for years before we met. I told her that I was an Amateur Radio Operator for years before we met and I would be one long after she's gone. If she couldn't accept that, she would have to move on. Likewise, I never tried to discourage or change things about my wife. Those things a person likes and dislikes, or their hobbies, etc, are part of what makes them the persons they are. I believe that if we take those things from a person, there will be a hole in their life and they will no longer be the person we met and fell in love with. Of course, it is different if that person changes hobbies, etc. on their own, but it is not good to take it from them. To include in their budget, support for each other's hobbies is not a bad thing, but to break their budget over any one hobby is not a good thing. My wife never went hungry because I bought a radio.

B.H. You are certainly an exception and up to about 20 years ago marriages usually worked. But you folks know as well as I do how many **** the bed in the past 20 years. You all know PLENTY of them. I hope it lasts 20 more. |
