Default Dr.Phil and Car Racing
Last night my wife was watching Dr.Phil as we sat down to dinner. I wasn't really paying attention but Dr.Phil was doing a profile on a couple and the husband was addicted to the Dallas Cowboys. Apparently over four years the husband spent over $25,000 on Dallas Cowboy items. My wife turned to me and said: "Could you imagine somebody spending over $25,000 just on a hobby. I would dump the guy."

I assured my wife that I would never spend $25,000 over four years on just a hobby. The one thing that I didn't tell her was that I would spend MUCH MUCH more!!

regards,
Patrick Parato

$25K over 4 years and she's complaining? From most of the people I know who golf, that sounds like a small amount.

Always remember the plus sign is evil and the equal sign is not your friend.

Mine too. Full board in Westchester is $2500+ per month, so the minimum is $30k just to have a show horse. Thanks god my wife is a trainer not a client!

Btw, they will never grow out of it.

My wife did and she swore over her dead body would her kids ever get into showing. I didn't count on my mother-in-law getting involved and I must be on my second wife because two out of three daughters are into it big and the third is beginning...

I am sure glad I was out of town last evening with my wife.
She loves Dr Phil.
