I too have been married over 30 years. My wife would be happy with anything I come up with. The best gifts are the ones she least expects. I have never been very romantically inclined, actually she would call it romantically challenged. I have always looked upon jewelry as the investment of a fool, but the light that appears in her eyes when I present her with diamonds truly warms my soul. I have done this on very few occasions because of the shock value. It's great! Last year I got her a new coffee maker. I think it's time to surprise her again. I cannot imagine life without her, she truly is the love of my life. (she is not a FReeper but several of our friends are and just in case one of her friends reads this and spills the beans, I'm hoping for a new router.)
That was very sweet. And you said you weren't romantic. :-)
Your tagline is delightful. :o)
And I wish I could take credit for it. :-)
I hope you're breeding. Often.
Only twice. But they're choice.
Yes, LAUGH! darned you! I said - LAUGH! THWACK!
I'm thinking it might have been better dialogue for 'Raphael' as he assaulted Michael Shanks. You offended? Get over yourself! SMACK! It's FUNNNN-NY!
Like so many in this thread - he fancies the IDEA of being the funniest around. Doesn't make him that.
"I ask all you women to cut us some slack; and accept us for the imperfect beings that we are compared to you". I'm not exactly PC. But even I would never say that. You can only get away with that as a joke among groupies - when even a fart is funny. Oh, he's the funniest around. Didn't you smell that? Ha-ha. Otherwise, this stuff is a little too desperate. Ann Coulter - now - I think she has a good sense of humor.
For you trivia buffs, they actually do have real names according to Western tradition: Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar.
Are you Barry's ex-wife?
Why aren't you LAUGHIN? ! Darned! Laugh, you! Every word he writes is a gem. You don't have to tell me (I already read all that . . . well).
My Dad told me that onetime he bought - I'm not making this up - an electric frying pan for Mom, as the old one had worn out. This was a Very Bad Idea (tm) as he found out.
Guys, rule #1 is, if you are in posession of a woman of the high maintenance variety, any gift shall not be a _replacement_, and most especially, any item related to or possibly construed as drudgery or work. Examples: Vacuum Cleaner - Bad. Pearl Necklace - Good. Ironing Board and Iron - Bad, Fur Coat - Good. 64 piece Sears Tool Kit w/ ratcheting screwdriver set - Bad, 64 piece Giarhdelli Chocolate assortment - Good.
You get the idea. Better to hear it here, than from you-know-who.
humor ping
;) thanks for remembering......
Probably.
8) My husband bought a socket set for me last Christmas. Actually, it is a Task Force tool set including wire cutters, sockets, Allen wrenches - everything you could want. It was my fault. I had asked for a hammer, screw driver, and pliers.
Thanks for the ping, very funny.
A roll of duct tape, and you're prepared for anything. 8~)
