2nd egg and wife ¿?
How do you get your wife on board when your first egg is barely 3 months old!?!?!?

Ask for a motorcycle\sports boat\sports car\trip to Brazil with the boys first,After that she should be happy getting you an egg.>-Bx - > NJ ->TX!!!All to get cheaper brisket!

Tell her you want an AR-15 or some other type of expensive gun....

I'd try the country music song from Brad Paisley "Well I'm gonna miss her when I get home". Fire up the new addition with a cold beverage cause you will be cooking for your self a bunch...it's worth a try. I found a deal just like your deal 2 weeks ago and missed it by 3 hours.....now "i miss it when I get home".

It is easier to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission.

Tell her you bought HER a small Egg, so you can cook together. :-)BJ (Powhatan, VA)

If she's not on board with the program nothing is going to work-back to the forgiveness vs permission deal. Good luck-time heals all wounds:)Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

This is prolly my favorite. Lol.
Hopefully it's still available and I can get to it! I'm going with the hey look a good deal and then when I bring it home I can say I told you about it._______________________________________________XLBGE -

Ha yea I try to stay away from the forgiveness begging spill. I'm loading her up while I'm at work. This seams like a deal I can't pass up. Ha speicially if I can barter him down a little to make it a steal!

Taz obviously took negotiation skills 101. Always start with a demand that's nearly outrageous but not so bad that it makes your opponent walk away. Then, as the negotiation goes on and you get down to your realistic demand, it doesn't seem unreasonable.After that she should be happy getting you an egg.>-Taz should be a lawyer!Amateur Egger; professional rodeo clown.

i dont know.. im currently trying to talk my HUSBAND into a second egg!

Kristinnn, I like it!
Yes, asking for more upfront is referred to as "door-in-the-face" strategy, which is generally more effective than "foot-in-the-door."
-
And just where does "foot-in-the-mouth" fit in:) As I seem to be a master at that tired and ineffective approach >-
@ Kristinnn-in my world there would be no debate-SWMBO rules!

@ MrCookingNurse
2nd egg and wife? Only advise is to keep the two wives as far away from eachother as possible and neither one will mind that you've got 2 eggs.

@newegg13: it's been said here before so I'm no innovator.
Btw depending on the wife you might say you found a great deal on his&hers MMA lessons cause you want to do more together. When she doesn't want that, then you can egg together for quality time.

Do you go camping or tailgate?You need a smaller version to take with you!
-
@BRush00, I was just thinking the same thing! lol
@louishubcap, I too use that strategy too much
-

Lol, my wife would tell me to get a third egg LOOONG before another weapon. She thinks I can only shoot one at a time so any more are excessive
. Maybe someone on here can help me out with this word she keeps using, "need". I'm stumped. She says things like , "you don't "need" another rifle, pistol, egg, rub,knife, etc..."

when there are two of anything....one is always training the other....simple eh...

Update:
So far so good! She isn't crazy about it but is far more for it than ANOTHER A-15. I came at it with that angle and seems to have worked. Now just have to hope its still for sale Saturday when I can go pick it up guy can't hold it and I understand totally.
400$ for a loaded small with nest that has has two cooks? Good deal? Its 6 months old. Looks amazing in pics.
She did give me the " there's a lot I could do with 400$ than buy a second egg"
and yes I'd love to take it camping and tailgating_______________________________________________XLBGE -
Where do ou guys typically find these deals? My wife has green lighted other size eggs but I havent found any opportunities outside of just heading to the dealer for new.
Also don't know what size to consider. I have a large, but I'm thinking I would be better with an XL and a small or medium which leaves me with 3 unless I go through the hassle of selling my large.Dallas (University Park), Texas -
@cssmd27
Im a Craigslist addict. I check a couple items on there every couple days while I'm on the throne. Only catch is when u find a deal you have to jump right then cause they don't last. This is definetly a want not a need so if it's gone before I get there oh well._______________________________________________XLBGE -
make sure you cook some nice side dish on the small while doing the main dish on the other egg, very different temperatures too if you need to make a point. Then present the food together and explain how much more you can do now.I used the method above and I now have 4 eggs and still have a wife
-
I'm lucky. I took all of my Eggs out of tables, and put them into nests, retaining one table as a work surface. After rearranging everything on the deck, the first words out of my other half's mouth were "Wow, look at all of this extra space! You could fit another Egg or two over there!"We're now looking for another small or medium, to add to the collection...BJ (Powhatan, VA)

I'd sit it next to the other egg, put a diaper on it, and wake her up by screaming "baby the egg we bought was pregnant!!!" and just sell that as hard as you can

and I thought I was creative....geez!!
