Re: Catholic Guilt

Think of it as them paying you to stay? Guilt is a funny creature. Get rid of it.

you'd do well to keep using it for incidentals.

It would be hard to explain (don't know your circumstances) what the $500 was invested in when the wife asks.

Hard to say new lawnmower since one is not in the garage. Although you could have spent is on grass. lmfao

Nice in-laws. I wouldn't have spent it on a hooker either though I wouldn't call it catholic guilt, just common decency.

Catholic Guilt as an aphrodisiac

There are different varieties of catholic guilt.

There is the northern variety which effectively inhibits fun, which seems to be what you indulged in. It's paradigm is that guilt is connected to sin.

Then there is the southern flavor in which the guilt merely serves as a pleasure enhancer: guilty naughtiness alone makes the fun more special.

Next time your in laws give a gift I suggest you be guilty naughtily, only and check your sense of sin.

There are several South American lands whose sense of guilt is healthily checked at naughty enhancement of pleasure. I suggest you need a vacation long enough to immerse you in the cultivation of the Southern Catholic sesnse of guilt!

Gimme a break! Catholic guilt?! Use it for a hot BJ!

You're supposedly a good Catholic stepping out on your wife with pros, and you're worried about using the money from her parents?

Please, I am LMAO!!!

Deposit the money at the bank, and hit the ATM on the way out. Now the money is clean.

That, or take your wife to a nice dinner.

Re: Catholic Guilt

Get 500 out of your account, mix all bills together with eyes closed, pull out the in-laws' ones and get yourself a deposit on a ducati, spend the rest on a date.  Tell your wife you just put a large deposit on a bike. Ask the inlaws their bank account for the monthly payments and lastly get life insurance as your nice gesture of the week.
