Lol I like that! I would have to check how many handbags and shoes she has to figure out the ratios compare to my Hats......Spousey has 17 horses and I do the horseshoeing, barn repair, truck repair, trailer repair, and some cooking. I have 4 hats (at least) for every horse and nothing has been said. I wonder what hat per horse ratio gets me in trouble?

You could always get an 18th horse should you exceed your quota....
Phil you got to do that quick..... (the compliment)I forgot to take my medicine!! and have just ordered yet another hat, this time an ad-vintage Harrison.
I must therefore compliment my wife on her ever growing shoe, bag and scarf collection!
Pretty common here I'd wager.I have been married 37 years and have collected many things of quality and expense such as old Winchesters & Marlins, CC silver dollars, various antiques ect. When she asks for instance, " is that a new gun"? I smile and say "sweetheart, does this gun look new"? She will usually squint her eyes with a smirk and say under her breath, " I thought so".
Was the decision to part with the collection difficult and was the actual sale more difficult yet?LOL. Yes, if I had $1 for every time my wife said "another hat?" I'd have enough to by a dozen more hats!! I get obsessive about things, all too often. I have several different collections including a large Star Trek collect that I only recently sold.
You betcha it was hard. I sold it all to make room for newer collections. I also sold it because it was a collection I hadn't added to or much tended to for years and years. It was one of the first things I started collection in the early 70s when I was a teenager. So, it had that "old friend" feeling. But I finally just came to feel that I was no longer enjoying it and was no longer really into it all so I felt that someone who would really appreciate it should get it all. It all went to a single guy and that helped me let it go because it was going to someone who really cared about it.
