    20$ still a lot of money in South America.
  • Hrrrmmm... the post started out about wives and money, and turned into a conversation about alcohol...
    Makes perfect sense to me... Wives drive you to drink.
  • It's apparently the second best beer on the planet.
    So what's THE best beer on the planet?

    That would be this one. It's probably the only good thing to ever come out of religion, other than Hebrew National hot dogs.

    At the risk of repeating myself, I really like Blackened Voodoo from Dixie Brewing Company. Have you ever tried that?
  • 13% alcohol by volume? Wow, that's... Strong...

    Pfft. Dogfish Head Worldwide Stout is 18% abv. THAT'S a strong brew.

    Joe: Nope, never tried it. I'll give it a whirl. What kind of beer is it?
  • It's dark, and tastes kind of sweet, malty, and smokey. There are some good reviews here. Some of these reviews really hit the nail on the head. I don't usually "get" it when people recommend different drinks with different food, but Blackened Voodoo is GREAT with Gumbo or Jambalaya.

    Wow.... all this my money/her money business. Adam and I just pool our money together. We consult each other before major purchases, but mostly, we can buy what we want when we want with minor stuff (i.e. buying lunch sometimes or buying a soda). We don't have an allowance, we just watch our spending. We talk about our purchases, so as long as we are aware of the amounts we have in our various accounts, how much we are spending v. how much we are saving... we just don't worry about it. If you are on a tight budget, I could see creating a set amount of "spending money" each month, but not a you get X and I get X every Y days. Just agree on an amount per month and consider it your "pety cash" to be used with your own discretion, but with consideration of the other person's neeeds. If one person wants to buy coffee every week, and the other a video game once a month... as long as it fits in your budget who cares if it amounts to $20 every week or not. I will never understand people being able to share their beds, their homes, their lives, etc., but they can't share money. It doesn't matter who earns what and who spends what, as long as it doesn't create financial burden and fits within the overall budget or financial goals... who cares? Right? I mean, there were times when Adam made more money and supported me, and there have been times when I have made more and supported him. Regardless, it is always "our" money.

    Stop sweating over it, hug her, make her hug you, and draw up a more loving and livable agreement for both your sakes!!
