Off topic. It's sad how some people are with bills. I feel your pain. I had a customer once that wanted a quote on doing some work. I gave her a quote and started work and more work got added ,there were plumbing problems I fixed etc etc etc. When it came time to pay she would not pay more than the original Quote. I worked real cheap on that one. Later she wanted more work done. I told her I was too busy ..Will never work for her again..(Off topic)
Not just one but many, I had to implement double signatures on my work orders for service calls because some groups of people would argue when it was time to pay. In French the term is "They listen to what they want to hear" some argued the hourly rate was a fixed price, labor, materials and taxes included. Some would argue they did not want to pay taxes etc. Did you know some of them try to haggle the price with the cashier at home depot?And many many more things, like one time a group of creole women stole my work order and argued the pipe installation for a future dishwasher was included, It wasn't agreed upon in the beginning and they had no dishwasher anyway!! I was at my last connection when this happened they were screaming like banshees and the young adult daughter, who was the only sane person in this place, was trying to calm her hysteric mom. I removed all my brand new water pipes for their new fridge... I had to threaten to call the police to get my work order back and got only a fraction of the job paid because I had to fix a broken drain in the basement. I no longer work for these group. Anyway other white folks turn ugly too. Reason why I think, they are angry to pay money to have their plumbing repaired instead that money could go towards a new T.V. A TV brings them pleasure but not drinking water. They hate to have to pay for their only toilet to be unclogged, it should be next to free.
They have no idea how extensive the education is, the licensing and legal hoops in Quebec to be a master plumber, I probably spent more time in class and diplomas than a lawyer.
(Back on topic), I see you guys have it good with your wives, nice. Yesterday after speaking with her dad about my shopping, she started her negative speech again, this time I told her to stop breaking my fun at looking for a C7, it's my money, I can afford it and I'm going to finance half of it and keep the other half for rainy days. I'm shopping to get one before summer, I want to go to the Italian festival in style and like all you guys say we aren't getting any younger.Looking at an ad today I saw an 2015 orange vette. I think it's my favorite color from the pallet they offer, my second vote would be grey. She really didn't like orange, Whatever, good thing we don't live together! To reply to @Riley P I will never allow us to live together, I need my space, my things, my life. It's very uncommon to live separately in a relationship but for me it's the only way. Living together I'd lose and I probably even be in business for myself because all the effort and hours it takes. I saw too many men get washed away. Nope!
back on topic..It would seem you know what you want and you know how to make it work for you.. Good luck in you search for your vette..
