my husband's joke is on me...

Yesterday my husband had to go to the hospital for a number of pulmonary
tests. Apparently you breathe into this machine, little inhale, little
exhale, big inhale, big exhale etc. etc. It all shows up on this computer
monitor. They can figure out almost right away what the scoop is. A real
state of the art facility. They quickly figured out he shows early signs of
assma ( or is it asthma?...).

At the end of the session, one of the technicians asked my husband a number
of questions. One of them was:

"Do you often catch yourself to be out of breath?"

my husband replied:

"Yes, whenever I find out my wife wants to go shopping!"


Both technicians said they could relate to that...

      Kylie, for a moment, I thought you were going to refer to some other
      interesting activity that you and your husband engage in which is capable of
      leaving you breathless!

        That happens on occasion too but nothing gets my husband's respiratory track in
        more distress than seeing me pull out a debit card...

          That's so true. Every time I want to go shopping, my hubby's face goes white,
          then red, then he seems breathless, then his ability to speak is off, then I
          try very hard to bring back all the CPR techniques and then finally.... he
          goes , how much do you need?

            I can understand why you have "I can see no ship but hardship" in your
            signature. Isn't that what your husband says after you raid his wallet?

            Been there, done that.smilesmile

            But that was a long time ago. That's when I used to be a real shopoholic. Not
            any more. I get a real kick from shopping at Sally Anne's, Value Village and
            many other second hand " boutiques" ( doesn't that sound fancy though?). I
            usually come empty handed but once in a while I find a good book or a little
            nick nack. Can't beat the price of T-shirts in those places. Brand new T's at
            Salvation Army go for 2 bucks! I am already excited just talking about it! smilesmile
            Big company logos don't mean a thing to me. As long as it fits and it's decent
            looking, I am all game. Those places are dime a dozen nowadays so if you decide
            to spend one day just bargain hunting, you can find tons of decent looking
            items for next to nothing.

            My poor husband still gets occasional dizzy spells when I take the wallet but
            they are not as bad, bless him.

              I don't get it. You ladies have no income of your own, or do you let your
              hubbies control yur spending so much?

                I have my own income, but joined account.

                He is smart with money and I am not.
                Brookie is right. Joint account is almost always the case when you are married.
                My husband does the budget and I like it that way. He is really good at it
                while I couldn't be bothered with all that stuff. That way I know what my limit
                is when I feel like going hogwild at Value Village smile

              I love shopping and I don't mind second hands. Salvation Army have good ones,
              St Vinnies and etc. There is also a great swapmart in my area, I enjoy burgain
              hunting there.
