] But Mongo, the thing is "I'm not really sorry" :) . How about "Thank you for understanding" or maybe "Thank you for your tolerance", or something like that? Whatever it says, my wife would likely respond with "What do you expect me to do with that thing?" :D

Open mail?

Paper weight :(

Oh well...


My wife says she actually uses her Spyderco quite often at work.

The support I need is not along those lines. I just need to get more work and make more $$$ so I can feed my habit. The Spyder habit is really not that bad. At least you truly have something of value to show for it. It is not like you are going to the gambling casinos and dumping it in to a "one armed" bandit or just getting cleaned on the crap table ( hence the word crap). I have never had a Spyder hangover. There are no laws in our state for Spyder possession. Spydie is a symbol for all that is good in the world. :cool: :spyder: :spyder: :spyder: :spyder: :spyder:

I'm not sorry! (just anxious for the next one)

I don't explain why! (it's like Everest - because they are there)

I'm not addicted! (I can stop whenever I want - I just don't want)

and

I don't need support (except financial so I can buy more)

The whole i am sorry knife is just a hoax to get a new unique pink FRN Delica! :rolleyes:

With alcoholism the difficult part is to aknowledge that you have a "problem"

You guys seem eager to ADMIT that you are a Spyderholic :rolleyes:

There is supposed to be at least some regret in your statement , ok! :D

Btw, the " I am sorry that i use your housekeeping money " could be made like a "rub on tattoo", so we can rub it of with some Flitz, Sal could offer it on all models!

Or we could get a rub on with "I am sorry that i use your housekeeping money, NOT" that we can cut and apply ourself. So it becomes more versatile.

OK, now i feel guilty, she is so sweet :o

I feel such shame! I guess this makes all of us here at Spyderco fall into the category of "pushers"! LOL.

A pink Delica would be great to give to the wife. It would be easy for the doctor to see sticking out of my back. :eek: :D

Joyce @ Spyderco
I am a very fortunate individual, as my Lady is almost as crazy about Spyderco knives as I. When I returned from the local gun/knife shop over this past weekend after servicing their PCs, she asked offhandedly if I had ordered any new Spyderco knives while I was there (I typically exchange PC repair labor for knives, a wonderful arrangement). I replied that I had successfully resisted the temptation, but that the Spyderco Meercats were on closeout at an unbelievable price and I had been sorely tempted. I was actually chastised for my strong-willed efforts to not buy another knife, and she demanded I call the shop immediately and order a new Meercat for each of us. Being the dutiful and loving husband I am, I immediately complied with her most gracious request. :D

My heartfelt condolences to those of you less fortunate than I in this respect...

Incidentally Miss Joyce, Spyderco is far from being classed as "pushers;" we poor addicted souls on the forum are truthfully just asking for it, and as I always say, "we know what we want, and we deserve to get it good and hard!" :eek:

I like the idea, giving a pink Delica to the ladies. When my daughters ar old enough to go out, I would like them to carry a sword or a battle ax. The pink Delica would at least be something. Though I stil wil be awake til they get home. But don't put the word sorry on it, '' for your love'' is way more positive.
