The problem is
I spent more on my tedder than I did on the appliance.
I’m more joking about being in trouble… see I have a habit of buying very expensive toys to play… ahem work with… she’s always reminding me
The problem is
Holy chit! A @GrizzlyBear post! Collect em all!Prayers sent. ;1)
(I may have told this story previously, so forgive me if I bore some)
our first Christmas together I bought her a vacuum cleaner and "accessory pack" cause she had been saying she needed one,,, we were living on a Staff Sergeant's pay in 1985 and it was a little tight,,, so there weren't nothing else,,,
shortly thereafter (like real shortly) she was sad/grumpy/ill about that - said it wasn't that I got her a vacuum, but that I didn't get her anything else (something sweet I reckon),,, me in my manly stupidity said "but I got ya the accessory pack",,, made her madder (go figure),,,
she still brings that up to this day when she needs it,,,,
learned a hard lesson that first Christmas,,,
Wowzer. You seem to be intelligent and well respected. Were you having a bad day when you came up with that idea or have you just come that far?
Some things you just dont do.
it's time to put them down when they start that chit.Yeah, anytime I hear, "Don't get me anything for Valentines Day." or "Just get me something practical for Christmas" or any nonsense like that, I say, "Put it in writing and have it notarized, and witnessed by a family member and one of your high school friends."
Because, by golly, if I'm going to hear about it for the next 25 years, I want the get out of jail free card....
Shootfire…Mom asked what my wife wanted for Christmas so I told mom to get her the vacuum. Figured it was foolproof and I wouldn’t end up in the dog house. Wife ended up liking the vacuum that mom got her more than anything elseWowzer. You seem to be intelligent and well respected.

Best advice to any young man out there, regardless if they say this, buy picture frames, something about picture frames that them wimmin folk just loveYeah, anytime I hear, "Don't get me anything for Valentines Day." or "Just get me something practical for Christmas"
Make sure they don't have the factory photo of a chick in a bikini.Best advice to any young man out there, regardless if they say this, buy picture frames, something about picture frames that them wimmin folk just love
Lol. I did some work for a really bizarre couple one time and their house was filled with picture frames that had all the factory photos. Lots of different ethnicities in the factory pics (inclusion, duh) so I tried to make a joke about them having a very diverse family. Just to see if it would spark a conversation and get them to tell me what the deal was. It didn’t work. By the end of it I fully expected to become a lampshade made of skin or in the basement taking lotion out of the basketMake sure they don't have the factory photo of a chick in a bikini.
I don’t know that sounds like a gift for both of you.Make sure they don't have the factory photo of a chick in a bikini.
