I think men just feel they should have all the toys for hunting, fishing, snowmobiling and the list goes on and on. I just bought what I needed for my hobbies and if anything was said, I say well I can sew all year. Motorcycles can only be used a few months of the year in MN. Bowling costs money, old cars and fixing cars takes money, smoking costs money. I could go on and on. So just enjoy your long arm and if he makes a comment again give him some examples of what he spends money on. No one should feel guilty!!
