I especially dislike anything that requires a magnifying glass to see. (old age requires spectacles)
That is so many things these days!
I know my eyesight isn't improving but they are definitely printing things smaller than ever before. I had a through eye test about a month ago and the glasses I need for close up are still very weak. I am buggered if I can read so many things now on labels though. They print all sorts of useless certification logos and rubbish on things but the info you want/ need to see is in microprint. I DO need a magnifying glass to see things and have just bought a couple of Loupes for that reason.
Wearing glasses to see small stuff is giving me the irrits and not improving my disposition. Thinking about going and seeing about laser surgery to put my eyes right before they get any worse.
My Wife would see through it in a moment and my life would be hell for weeks to come.
I guess Glort gets away with it because his Wife trusts him implicitly. I imagine that it would be very hard to live with a man who photographs half naked women for a living, unless your personal relationship and commitment to one another is total and honest. Hat off to him.

If I say so myself, I'm also a pretty gun salesman as well. I guess that helps. :0)
That said, she has unusualy stepped in recently and put the Kybosh on some desired acquisitions till I get rid of some crap and get the shed organised.
I could get around her pretty easy but her ace in the hole is i know she is right and talking sense. I hate it when she does that!!
People have asked me for years what my wife says about me going out and photographing naked women? There is only one thing she has ever asked:
" How much did they spend?"
It translates into " How much can I now go and spend". She has never had anything to worry about which is why she doesn't. I'm certainly no picture or prize catch and I was lucky to find the only woman in the world with such a strange taste in blokes to take up with me. I tell her all the time she could have done so much better if she had married a decent fella.
I can honestly say I did once have a client put the hard word on me. Went straight over my head the first time till she came out with something blunt enough even I couldn't miss.
She was one of the most unattractive women in looks and personality I have ever come across in all my born days.
The fact she was trying to chat someone that looks like me up would also call her intelligence into serious question. Be great to say that I had some beautiful, young intelligent woman interested in me but I couldn't even lie to myself that bad.
It was a great lesson in what a woman must feel like to have some undesirable bloke hitting on her. Not good!
Fortunately my son must have got his good looks from his mother. He had women tripping over him all the time to the point it used to annoy him and his sister who complained girls only wanted to be friends with her so they could get to him.
If the Mrs is going to see though your " compliments", you're not selling it properly. I recommend the book " How to master the art of selling anything" by Tom Hopkins. It's old but the stuff still works really well and it's not dishonest or misleading, quite the opposite. Just tells you how to put things the right way to make people see sense and logic mainly.
Of course that means there has to be a legitimate reason to buy something in the first place which is a critical missing factor for most of us in this application!
