Disposal Incoms

I'm a poor old pensioner

The forceps are for opening your wallet from the dark recess where it’s hidden aren’t they

Haha
How is the “spawn of Satan” hope she’s well….

Well after reading every post I have made on here and discovering she wasn’t in fact born with a tail, and that I had told the world about her day on the busses, she’s back in her proverbial box for now revising. We did have an awkward moment during pride month where we went for a drive through and I asked the McDonalds staff if it was all just window stickers and lip service or if I could get a complimentary meal upgrade for her as a card carrying lesbian. They said no. I was gutted… almost as much as she was when she phoned the wife to vent spleen and was met with laughter. I take comfort in the prospect that she has enough material to keep a future therapist in work for years, or at least a few stand-up sets. That said she may not make it to therapy, she’s due to give her vertically challenged friend a 1ft gnome as a birthday present shortly and risks being beaten to death with it in the process, so I’ve held off buying her Christmas presents just yet - why deplete the airgun fund

Oh and apparently - according to both the daughter and the wife - I am the preferred parent. Not sure if she’s seen the countdown timer till she hits 16 and can be given a tent to go and live independently or at least pay for her own lead

Hobby funding...
On a daily basis I chuck my loose change in a butter cookie tin & once quarterly my alumininum cans go to the recycler - this goes to " pellet money". If I want a gun, I'll work a Saturday or two...
Simple system for a simple man - cue Lynyrd Skynyrd.

I don’t have disposable income. So luxuries are a swap with something else
I do grow most of my own food though

Once you have your gun, it’s only really pellets to feed it.
I think you are really saying ‘ how do I cope with desire?’

A very philospohical view, but true all the same, and reminds me of the ol' "Go on.. treat yourself, you deserve it"

An old clubmate had a good wrinkle. He takes his empty gun case out with him telling his wife he thinks it might be a good idea to sell a rifle or two then comes back with a new rifle saying that 'what they offered me was an absolute insult; thieving b@sta@rds.' Weeks on his wife seems him cleaning the gun and asks where that came from and he says, 'This? Crickey love are you kidding, YOU bought it for me years ago' and then looks at her his face written with concern for her well being. I thought at the time how sneaky.........but bloody brilliant.

I have a simpler approach, all my personal gun cases look the same. Nobody ever asks what’s in them, and the man cave is locked, because the law was changed to make secure storage a requirement which the wife was all in favour of
