Default Made a mistake today :)

But it turned out for the best ! I was searching for the lions game on TV. Like I do on saturday for the Michigan football games. Then I ran across it. Yahoooo. Then I see you agree to pay $44.95 to view this game. I hit the remote to get out of that. But hit the wrong button . OHHH SH** Now what???. I can't get away from this Boo Boo. Oh well might as well watch it. Now I have to tell my wife of my BOO BOO. She won't be happy. So I tell her when she gets home. This dark cloud comes over her face. You do know were trying to save $$ for our vacation don't you. I explian what happened. She says comes out of your Hot Rod money. I said cool. Then I'm wacthing them get the crap kicked out of them. Man what mistake this is. $44.95 to watch this ? Then after half time. Things start to pick up here & there. Down to the last 5 mins. I don't have any finget nails left. . I'm pacing back & forth from the living room to the kitchen to the deck listening & watch. Talking to myself. Then the last play of the 4th quarter ...Finally they win it again.. I can't believe whats going on here. Now I'm so excitied I can't eat dinner. I just sit down & try to take it all in. My wife who was a little p O'ed at me is standing up next to me says. I guess it was meant for you to watch. I start to say something. She says NO thats not your off the hook. You'll pay. No problem. It's the best $ 44.95 i've spent in a long time. . I'm getting too old for thses last min finishes by the Lions. But well worth it.

Or you could look at it this way: You paid $44.95 to watch the Cowboys blow a lead and lose to the Lions.

Go Lions.

I realize you're trying to save money, but...

Tell your wife to put on her Sunday best and take her out to dinner. On the way home stop and buy her a bouquet of flowers. Your 'oops' will soon be forgotten...

Nice idea Mike. But that would mean even more money out of his Hot Rod fund. So here's the question,

Hot Rod Fund

OR

Happy Wife

????





I think know what the answer will be.

On a side note, the Packers blew the Broncos out the water.
Loved watching that game. Lions are having a miracle season.

Hey Rick; how many times do you make a fifty buck mistake you can actually smile about? That would be point #1. Point #2: unhappy wife is a perfect excuse to have to make up and that usually means fun time. Hehe.
