We went to Wal-Mart to do a little grocery shopping. I have been telling her for 3 days that I only had a 20 spot so only the bare essentials could be purchased. Well when we got there she had a whole list so once again I reminded her '20 bucks'. "Oh I at least want a bottle of diet Pepsi. "Ok I said." Bah! She starts putting other stuff in the cart. I was mentally counting up the cost and at about $10.00 I ran down to the pet food and grabbed about $10.00 worth of stuff. I then went back to groceries and found her and low and behold she has an armload of stuff. I told her make her choices cause she wasn't getting any more than 20's worth. AAAnd the debate ensues. She got it through her head after I told her she was going to have to learn to make sacrifices. If the animals needed food she would have to go without. "Starve if you had too"; I said, if that was the descision but there was no way I was spending any more than I had in my pocket.
First I have to say my wife is a lieing butterball. 5'3" 230 pounds she could use some going hungry, but never the less we have a pantry full of food and two refridgerators. WE AIN'T gonna starve not for a month anyway.
Of course I managed to marry another compulsive individual. WTF is my problem that I can't see this before I get involved with them!? This is the last one-forget the visions of long legged women or any other. I would rather die than get involved with another floater if you know what I mean.
They damn near kill me with worry as it is.

Your blog is "inquisitive."
High praise, eh?
It never occurred to me to try to limit my wife to spending only $20 bucks at the grocery store.
I'll have to try that. Though I think I'll start small at, say, $150.
