I am so weak!!

[BIG-TARGET]

After seeing E.Danny's video of the LM Juice XE6 http://forum.multitool.org/index.php?topic=4654.msg76283;boardseen#new

I unsuccessfully fought the urge, grabbed my REI 20% off coupon,and bought one. Even bought a leather pouch for it too.

And of coursethe wife's reaction>

I've been a bit of a sucker with recent purchases as well.   

What the wives have got to realise is the we need these things.   

[Grant Lamontagne]

That's what you get for telling her you did it!

The Juice models are hard ones to deal with- they don't look like every other tool, so it's hard to pretend you already had that one!

Next time, I'll just tell her:"WOuld you be happier if I spent the money on a hooker??"

Ironically, the wife may be less upset over that

I understand. I don't know if it's a mid-life crisis or what but I've been getting a hankering to buy a Mustang GT. I've never had a real nice car before and now that I'm in my mid 30's I figure it's time I get something I've always wanted. Of course Mustang GT's aren't cheap. My wife keeps saying that she wishes that I'd just get a girlfriend instead, they're a lot cheaper.

mid 30's is mid life crisis??

I'm 44, and my foot infection has made me realise that I have more years behind me that I do in front of me
And I don't even have/keep a woman as my mistress yet!!

Now THAT is mid-life crisis!!

[ducktapehero]

mid 30's is mid life crisis??

Surviving cancer last year definitely made me realize my mortality. And I doubt I'll be alive in 36 years so yeah, I can safely have a mid-life crisis.

  My apologies! The cancer you survived DEFINATELY makes your point VALID!! 

Death has a way of make one rethink their priorities in life.

No need to apologize. I certainly wasn't trying to make you feel bad or "compare" medical problems. You're right though, having death stare into your face definitely changes your priorities. I wasn't really scared of dying but being away from my wife and son scared the hell out of me. So did the fact that had I died my son wouldn't have known me, he would only have stories and pictures of me.

[E. Danny]

Sure! Blame it on me!

[jzmtl]

Haha, I keep telling myself that I don't want the skeletool cx, but it's so pretty and shiney! 

Maybe I'll move to halifax and start borrow tools from def.

Mid life crisis in your 30's? I hear you there! I was diagnosed with what my dad has which is Alpha1-antitrypsin (AAT) deficiencyhttp://www.emedicine.com/Med/topic108.htm. Shocked me, almost like I was diagnosed with a killer or something, and in a way it's a wake up call and makes me re-evaluate my life and how I want to live every moment of it. Right now I am going through the motions on what it takes to get treatment when I do need it and stay well so I never end up being like my father, I have no idea what his deficency amount is but I am at 79% and I am only 9 points from needing transfusions of that enzyme I am lacking. Messed up stuff. Anyways I have rambled on enough, no sports cars for me or anything, got my own things though I suppose. Grant knows about what goes on in my life, he's there for me. Good to have someone you can talk to when you need a friend

I usually find the "How many feet opposed to pairs of  shoes do you have darling " results in her either taking the huff and walking away or at the very least getting of my case

I know you weren't trying to make me feel bad.  But it does make you rethink your life.  Especially after the doctors told me that if I stalled off going to the hospital another 24 hours, I would have been dead. And it affects people in different ways.  I've noticed caught myself being a bit more selfish, and I don't feel guilty about it.

LOL I doubt I'll get the Mustang, I just want one. Every time I say something about it the wife just tells me how impractical it is. So it looks like I'll be scooting around in my dented up station wagon til the wheels fall off.

Especially after the doctors told me that if I stalled off going to the hospital another 24 hours, I would have been dead

Sometimes it's weird how these things work out. I'm not exactly one to rush to the DR either too. In my case I just had a regular check up. I had a pretty nasty chest cold so the DR wanted to do an X-ray. Through a series of X-rays and CT Scans they eventually saw my cancer. I didn't have any symptoms or anything. I'm here only because of luck or God still has plans for me. Usually by the time kidney cancer starts having symptoms it's too late. But they caught it before it spread.

Well I'm glad that both of us are still here to brag about our battle scars and David, good luck with yours. I'll be praying for ya.

Sorry for the thread hijack.

No worries.  Sometimes,threads take a unique turn. David,Sorry to hear about your problem.  First time I ever of this condition. You definately have to keep us up to speed on this disease.

Now back to our regularly scheduled thread

One thing about EDanny's Juice XE6, is his aftermarket add on of the bottle opener.  I like that concept!  So now I'm deciding which Atwood tool to attach to the XE6. 
Which one???

Multis and Atwood compliment each other nicely

[Grant Lamontagne]

That's what I would have thought too.

If anyone here knows Peter and would like to give him a poke, by all means go for it!  I'd love to do something with him.

Totally normal Big-target, if my wife hadn't sequestered my credit card, sure have bought me the xe6 too. But everything is not lost both my LMs doesn't have a cork screw so I can justify it as my next purchase 

[BIG-TARGET]

And don't forget, whenyou get a Juice with a corkscrew, get the SAK jewelers screwdriver for it

[duckman1975]

Thanks for reminding me, have one on my SAK.
