    JIMBO,
    How do you get her to change her mind? Did you really ask that? [p]Dang, man - if I was you, I'd be at the grocery store first thing in the morning buying the misses favorite "grillable" food and fixins. [p]Then when the door to the Egg store opens, I'd be there and purchase the egg. [p]And while she's doing whatever she does on Saturday mornings, I'd crank that baby up. [p]I always figured it's a whole lot easier to get forgiveness than to ask permission. [p]Besides that, the making up's so much fun. [p]Take pictures. [p]

    This probably won't come out right....But it's time to get out your "man card" and go get the danged egg if that's what you want.....I was lucky....my wife purchased my large BGE egg as a gift....But when there's something I want...I get it...end of story.....You want the Egg?....Get it! And join our little cult that we love so much......[p]Respectfully,[p]Ed McLean....eddiemac

    JIMBO,your
    Tough Break!Tell her how heart broken you are... tell her that you will take care of the cooking for the next two weeks IF you get the egg Sat. DOn't say it to say it.... say it and mean it PUT IT IN WRITING IF YOU GOT TO. After two weeks she will be bragging about how her husband does all the cooking. My wife put my words to the test and now she brags to everyone how I do most of the cooking... only catch is if she is pregnant wait a week or two and try again (I am speaking frome experience).

    JIMBO,[p]I will give you my super secret patent pending method for things like this.[p]DISCLAIMER - IF YOU ARE A MARRIED FEMALE READING THIS AND YOUR HUSBAND TRIES IT YOU ARE NOT AT LIBERTY TO YELL AT ME OR TELL MY WIFE[p]Head out and run some errands. Call her from the BGE store or nearby and say. "Honey I decided to go ahead and grab the egg that we were talking about" If she gets mad, you can say, I was just kidding with you blah blah blah. If she says that's fine, then you go into the store and grab it.

    JIMBO,
    HEY!! That was just plain mean.When someone tells you something like that they shouldn't just change their mind! Do you work? If so, go get your egg.The store is open right now. You will save a ton of money because your "eating out" will be almost obsolete. You will cook on your egg all the time. It is something your whole family will enjoy not just you.

    JIMBO,
    tell her that if she says "that's the best >insert her favorite food here< i've ever eaten" within 6 months of the purchase, that all her restrictions shall be resinded.[p]my wife thought i was nuts when i spent the cash on the large. she bought me the small a couple years later because we were going away for vacation (a week) and she couldn't imagine having to leave the large behind
