Tell your hubby to go piss up a rope, they are yours and you are keeping
them.  He'll adapt.  I've been married for 41 years and I would no more
tell my wife she couldn't have something that she really wanted than I'd
try to fly.

[Moderator's note: I'd normally at least question the language Russ used
in that comment.  And certainly we must not be too quick to judge Penny's
relationship which can host an entirely different set of circumstances
than Russ'.  On the other hand, I've decided Russ' 41 years of marriage
has earned at least a FEW liberties! :-)  Forgive me Penny!  BIG]
