The Warden really likes the stuff, she just doesn't think it qualifies as "house decor". We are into day 2 now, and I had forgotten that she occasionally tours "Old Gas" when things are slow at work! Its fairly busy there right now, so maybe it won't happen? So far its all good. LOL I hope Gene is wrong about the stitches!

WOW, I guess the Women own or direct all the homes that MARRIED or living together couples live in. I was thinking the same thing. I display gas and oil things in the house and in the cabin. If she can have her little moose statues and moose towels, I can have my junk too, LOL.
FREEDOM oil items wanted.

Guess I'm one of the lucky ones, flight control wants an Eire 158 for her kitchen, I've been dragging my feet because she wants it done as a Coke brand but I better get going because if she ain't happy nobody is happy.
Have gas all the time

Sitting at the breakfast island, its readily visible if you look up! Human nature doesn't tend to direct our line of sight above where we are moving, unless we are stationary and looking around. She WILL see it eventually, I just want it to be a way into the future, so I can argue that it was in place for a couple weeks and wasn't obtrusive! LOL I remember a few years back when Old Gas member "oldnfuelish" poste a thread about moving items into the house that he titled "slowly movin it in". Of course he started with a Tokheim 850 and was hoping it could stay in place! She was very tolerant and the last time I was at his house, the pump is still there! Maybe I can get the same results!

How do you get away with drinking a Pepsi in a Coke kitchen? I bet she is already on to you and is just devising a payback. Good Luck.

She has NOT seen it yet, or I would have heard about it!! She has told me many times that she thinks that I know her better than she does! There is no reason for her to look up there YET! Maybe on cleaning day?? LOL

DAY 4 and I swear that she has not seen it yet! Its the weekend tomorrow, and that may tell a different story, as she has 2 days of being at home. I'm really hoping for at least 2 weeks though! I will keep you all posted! LOL

ITS OVER!!! On Friday as she was going out the door, she was giving me a hug, and happened to look up and saw that the enamel coffeepot that was sitting up there, was shoved into the corner, and she made a mental note to check it out when she got home because something wasn't right! She discovered the globe when she got home that night, but didn't do anything with it until the next morning when I was occupied! It was about noon or a little after when I looked up and saw the globe missing! Since we were busy with staining the deck, I just let it go until the evening and casually asked where my globe had gone to? She replied "that's a redundant question because you know I don't allow globes in my kitchen and there couldn't possibly have been any in here". I laughed heartily but she just gave me a puzzled look and went about her business? There hadn't been anyone in the house besides the 2 of us, so I resigned myself to a little payback time and didn't ask about it again until this morning! I even asked politely if I could just have it back, but she acted like she didn't know what I was talking about?? I had already looked in a few key hiding places and it wasn't to be seen, so I thought I was probably in for some long winded payback and might have to beg a little? That's when I opened the doors to the front entryway closet and there it was, calmly sitting on the shelf. I glanced over at the Warden and all she did was give me a big smirk! I started to plead my case about her inability to even notice it for 5 days and how it should be allowed because it was so unobtrusive, but I got stopped dead in my tracks with a stern and firm "NO"! I don't think I am done with this effort yet, but I think I might have to take a different tact when I approach the problem again???? What's life if you don't try??
