Eaglet I know how your wife feels. Back when the wife and I had joint accounts I came home one day to find a new dodge truck sitting in the drive. I was immedietly asked whether I liked the truck. I responded yes just figuring the wife had traded her almost new truck in for one she liked better. I was then told that it was good that I liked it since she had just bought it for her mother

I have paid the maintenence and insurance on it since. But thats okay the experiance came in handy when my dads health declined and I bought him a new handicapped van with a lift and a scooter.
