Well, I wish I had an answer for you. Men live in an alternate universe and their brains do not dwell here on earth. My husband questions many, many things I do, example, to help a friend who had started to work at Macy's but hadn't opened one new account, I opened an account at Macy's, figuring that how much damage can I do at Macy's, as they don't carry my size in clothing and they don't sell fabric. Imagine my surprise when I got the Macy's VISA good wherever VISA was honored. He asked me how I could get a credit card when he was laid off and not working, I simply told him that I was working and that shut him up. However, whenever we went anywhere, he would say, put it on your card, put Kari's (our daughte) plane flight for a job interview on your card. Then all of a sudden he says, look how much money YOU have spent. Go figure. I gave up. Men, can't live with them and can't kill them. Do not feel you have to feel that you have to justify getting a long arm, then feel like you have to pay for it by taking in quilts. Do not do it for the money unless you want to do it. I feel for you, but other than drowning him in quilts, I'm not sure what you can do. I wish you luck. If you figure out how a man's mind works, let the rest of the world know.
