So, i bought my wife a brand-spankin' new Artista portable pottery wheel because she has taken several pottery classes and i think she is good at it. Plus, we have low fire clay, i am a pyromaniac with a huge fire pit in my back yard, and how hard can it be to make a glaze...like the way the friggin early agriculturalists all over the world did it back in the 10K BCs. Sounds like fun to most open-minded creative people, right?
Anyways, my dumb ass didnt realize that the paypal charge went to our joint checking account. So when she saw the charge I had to tell her and she got PISSED because she told me she didn't have time to do pottery because her job is SOOO stressful, and that she doesn't want me to spend that kind of money without asking her. I mean, she really has a problem with Christmas here in the US, where people buy things for one-another, with some surprises. Well, doesn't it kind of ruin a surprise to ask if its ok to buy something for them? I mean, i understand that it wasnt cheap, and that we shouldnt waste our money on things we wont use, but i really think she could be a good potter with a bit more practice, and its something we could do together in our house!!
WHAT THE FUCK!!!
So, now im stuck with this potters wheel, new in the box, that i have to either sell on craigslist or return at a deep discount. Anybody want a kick-ass potters wheel??

Serious bummer that she reacted that way when you were trying to do something nice for her. Sounds like your heart was in the right place even though it came off differently than you had hoped. I am considering starting up a business. Do you still have the wheel? How much would you want for it?
