KillerOnion and my hubby have got it figured out.
Whenever Pacman wants a new (name the gear/gun here), he finds a way to locate something I need or want (whether I do or not) and makes sure I get mine first
He listens to every comment I make when I'm reading the paintball trades, and takes particular interest if I point out an interesting new gimmick or item - then files that away for times when he's shopping.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't (I didn't "need" that pretty, red Phantom pump, dear, but it's nice to have for night game)
But, the fact that I know he's thinking of ways to endear me when he's doing the shopping, goes a long way in keeping peace in this paintball playing household.
