You might try "logic". Is your Christmas tree still where it was set up
"temporarily* for the holiday season? If it is you've lost. It isn't you can
explain this a temporary seasonal thing.....like the Christmas tree. You are
starting plants that go out in the spring, it's a once a year seasonal
occurrence, just like Christmas decor. Sign a contract with severe
repercussions if you end up trying to make the spot permanent. The 'booze
and broads' alternative isn't going to fly, as you have found out, silly
boy. Or you could get lots of catalogs and pamphlets advertising very
expensive heated, grow light equipment and leave them in conspicuous places.
This could also have her consider the temporary table the lesser of two
evils.

I want to set up a temporary table in my living room to use to start
some seeds because the area gets all the sun, but my wife is against
it. She says temporary becomes permanent. How can I convince her that
this is a good idea? Seeds are cheaper than booze and broads,but she
does not buy that line of reasoning.

Thanks
