Re: Was Almost Doghoused!

gift card, last choice. wild one now we know why you are not married, or have a girl friend.

:redface: There is more to it then that but this isn't my thread so I wont go there :redface:. The robotic vacuum was a request by my mother, something that I've been wanting to get for her for a couple of years now but my brother finally broke down and got her one instead. Can't wait to see what the cat does with it

Wildanimal if you haven't yet look at this http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid1370868150/bctid3130509001

This is the story of the doghouse, and your idea would get me there :D

It's not like she would be having to push the vacuum, it is supposed to work on it's own, or even by remote :D.

You can't go wrong with a nice dress, or clothing of some sort.

Mrs. DJ really doesn't care what I get her. She gives me ideas and I get close, most of the time.

She appreciates the "effort" I put into looking and actually getting whatever it is.

This is a big deal as I am forced to go to Malls (of which I am severely allergic);) and talk to salespeople and make a decision.

SS. Is she in charge of the house keeping? Do you all have carpet? Get her one of those robotic vacuum cleaners, my brother heard some good things about those machines, he's getting one for my mother.

A gift card would be a second choice if I was in your shoes.


heh heh heh.........get the double bagger !

actually the hand written note is somthing she will keep in her "little box of treasures" all her life.

when i am comunicating with mrs oops...(we are not married) i use total honesty about why i think she is so special ....its a great way of starting a note that could be really hard to write.....(hard to know where to start)

that along with some new fragrance from the local sweet smellin shop would possibly be appreaceated.....


BUT....."if" when she opens the note.....and her face turns blank.....then to mad......(that means youve totally messed up the note.....you would have better off with the double bagger vaccume) you run.....dont walk....run to the doghouse .......... she may be loading !

Re: Was Almost Doghoused!

Gift certificate only works at the spa.

Never ever any other way.

One year i gave her a diamond bracelet, inside the same box as a cordless drill i bought for myself.

I gave her the box all wrapped up, she opens it and throws it across the room.

Screaming you would have thought she caught me with Pamela Anderson.

Mu youngest daughter opens the cordless drill box and pulls out the smaller box, and i'm smiling as she rips open the little box my daughter.

Than she parades around the house with the diamond bracelet on her wrist, with my wife chasing her.

Ha that was a good year.

Re: Was Almost Doghoused!

This morning, I'm surfing trying to figure out what to get the Mrs for Christmas. We both agreed that we would take money set aside for Christmas and send to the Lester Wright Fund (which we did).

However, she said it just wouldn't seem right not to have anything to open up for Christmas. So, I agreed that we would get each other something.

Well,,,,,this morning I'm looking at GPS units. She has always (like many other women) have accused my bullheadedness in not asking for directions. Yeah, I know, it probably be more beneficial for me though. Then she say "Do you remember that video clip about the doghouse guy?" Uh, yup dear I remember........She says "So do you want to go to the doghouse?" So I guess a GPS is out of the question if I want to stay out of the doghouse. :D

I'm still at a loss on what to get her. She is satisfied with what jewelry she has and has stressed she doesn't want anymore. She collects bears, but the house is already busting at the seams with bears. Heck, there is even bear stuff on our boat!

I know to stay out of the doghouse that I must get something that is feminine and personal. Sexy garments is not an option as it would be like putting a thong on great grandma :D I don't even want to think about that!

All I know is that it can't take batteries and it can't be used by anyone but her. Boy does this suck wind thinking on the limitations that I'm up against. Staying home and staying sober is what she likes about me best :D (until boat season that is)

PS, please give to Lester's family, he was their whole life and without him, they are at such a major loss. I feel for them dearly......Thanks to those who have........................SS

My wife asked for a GPS for the car, go figure!!! Word to the wise, stop trying to figure out the fairer gender, just ask and comply, been working for me for over 20 years! Save the surprises for when they are least expected and you are alone, makes them more special to her. Get her exactly what she wants when family and friends are gathered...

I bought a Garmen last summer while working out of town to help me find addresses and plot routes.

My Ex used it for a trip to NC, and my daughter has had it for about six months. The thing that I have found is, these women do not like to be told which way to go, especially by another woman's voice. Queen Bee syndrome...:eek: Every time they use the Garmen I get calls complaining about how the Garmen got her lost. When I told her to bring it back, I get the "You're crabby" statement. I guess with my daughter, there is no winning.
