      I'm pretty sure she'll say "we needed the carpet, what do you need a windshield for?"

        "it's the law" might be a good reply...

          Even more unnecessary is spelling it haemorrhage. I have no non-otiose advice for you.

            I never plan on getting married for exactly these reasons. Do you have a prenup by the way? I have clean carpets and hot maids. I am living the dream.

              You REPLACE for a knuckle sized chip?? Geez I would be replacing my windshield 3 times a year . . . Don;t you have those places in parking lots or whatnot that will fill the crack/chip for like 10 bucks?

                I'm hemorrhaging money too on an apartment renovation (the home equity kind) and a new computer. If I had a wife, then I'm sure she would be getting her licks in too, at least doubling the hemorrhage rate.
                I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

                    More generally

                    I also just watch the money flow out and out and out. Nothing exceptional this year but its funny to see how many expenses there are with a wife and two children

                          I had that done almost 15 years ago on my truck and the crack has never grown.
                          But if it's in a spot that's is in your main viewing area they still recommend replacement.

                              There was a pin sized hole that came through to the inside. I've filled chips before, and this was no chip. The "chip" was big enough to put your knuckle in, the shatter "spread" was about 2 inches. I asked about repair when I called and when the service guy showed up, and the both said it couldn't be repaired.

                              It cost me $275. After the guy was done he was told me not to drive it for 1-2 hours. WTF?! That would have been nice to know BEFORE you did the work. What if I had to be somewhere? Seriously, I am sick of stupidness.

                                I just replaced a windshield. I got a chip 8 years ago on my first highway trip with it. It spread across the bottom. Then up the passenger side a bit, then this summer I got a massive dent on the passenger side which spread the crack around more, so I decided it was time.
