Better than a check, is get a money order using cash to pay for it and send that. That way she won't see the cashed check (if she gets to the mail first).

Go one step further and pay extra for Fed X delivery and pick it up at their station yourself.

Just to let you know, I did not buy SEIV Gold this way. I ordered through a friend as a group order(paid him cash).

May have talked her around, but I shouldn't have let her read this post...

I told my wife about this post. I made it a joke, saying "Aren't you glad I don't listen to THEM!" Her reply was, "None of them must be married to someone like me."

Speaking as a 65 year old married more than 30 years: The word 'marriage' begins with the letter "C".

'C' for compromise, consideration, etc.

45$ won't make a dent in saving for a house. But sending the check without telling her will make a big dent in your relationship.

Elowan, Well said!

Folks:
I realize most of the ideas were meant in jest;
In many a thread I have mentioned the "5th X" in SE. eX wife. While playing SE far too much was a symptom not a cause....

Is the rebate offer still available and does Shrapnel still have Gold back in stock yet?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Baron, if you are considering buying Gold with the idea of playing in the tourney, you are too late. It's going to start in a couple days and you won't get it by then.

But there are always games starting on PBW, and there's always Survivor 3. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Of course, I had to fork over for a second computer....
