I then told her that she owed me $500 and it was a bargain at that!!

Good job fixing the A/C yourself, doesn't it feel good to save money!! Finally, good luck collecting the money from the misses, I tried that once and my wife laughed at me and said that was part of my husbandly duties.

But she was a little freer with me when I wanted to spend a little money on the car after that. In other words, she didn't say anything after I did.

I felt I had earned it.
