Drank the Kool-Aid

[Ump Rube]

I moved to the Platinum and have never regretted it. I regretted telling my wife how much it cost, but she understands it now. She comes to most of my games and I have taken some good licks and just kept on going like nothing at all.

Definitely needed to size up a shirt though once I had it (moved from Pro9 as well).

Complaining wives need to compare it to the costs (not just financial) of a broken collar bone.

Perhaps that what you told her.

How come when she needs to make an expense, it's "Honey, we need a ..." and when it's something like a chest protector, it's "Why do you need ... ?"

Or you could try "I can do more games without the broken collarbone than I can with it...more money for YOU to take out of my wallet, sweetheart"

I think I just paid for it tonight...three plates in.

Pitch in the dirt, one hopper right up into the bottom of my rib cage...didn't feel a thing. May have cracked a rib otherwise.

Ahhhhhh...money well spent. My games today already paid for it.
