Title: Help with wifes gift
Post by: BigJohn on December 18, 2010, 07:19:51 am
I was thinking of getting my wife either a snowblower or a new radial arm saw which do you think she would like the most?

Radial Arm Saw, She can use that year round. I got my wife a weedeater for her college graduation gift. It didn't go over too well. I'm guessing it was because it could only be used for 6-7 months out of the year! ;D

Which tool would she look better using while wearing a teddy?
But the REAL question is "What in the heck is she doing OUT of the kitchen anyway?"

Radial arm saw.  Hands down.  She will use it more often.  Make sure you get her some hearing protection, too. 

And, using the radial arm saw in a teddy is lots more appealing than clearing the driveway in one (trust me on this, boys).  Besides, wearing the hearing protection she won't know when you're sneakin' up behind her for a snuggle. 

But what do I know of such things?

Or YOU could keep the radial arm saw, and let HER have the teddy (PLEASE, not the other way around!!). :o

Which ever you decide on, don't forget these words of wisdom: Keep saying "I love you" until she puts down the knife.

When I saw the word 'radial' I thought you were going for new tires. Now that would be a Xmas present any wife would love.

I can tell you what not to get her............a vacuum cleaner.

I had to have one surgically removed from my colon after getting my wife one for our 10 year anniversary.

I'd go with the snowblower, if it all goes wrong on you then you can
convince her it's a big hair-dryer  ;D

From the wife's point of view...   you'd be waaay better off to ASK her what she wants... (you can't go wrong with  flowers, candy, a fabulous card and a couple hundred bucks cash..) 

Coming up on 28 yrs of marriage..  I buy what I want... and tell him THANK YOU!!!!! kisskisshughug..  and everyone is happy.  I also make sure he gets what he wants too.. This year..  he got a new tv/dvd player for his semi and I got a 1940 Singer Featherweight  with all its attachments and its box.

Merry Christmas!  ;D

     You know in reality my Wife and I have made a joke/ game out of our gift giving because like Cheryl we buy what we want when we want it. I once sent my Wife flowers at work and since I always use the same florist I was able to request delivery during her lunch hour, and I had them put a card  on them without an envelope and it read: "Dam you were good this morning" Love John, Needless to say all the other ladies circled my wife's desk clucking for an hour, and I might add she got even!

     My Wife expects the worst from me and I do nothing to disappoint her. he - he

    Life's not worth living without a little fun/ humor in it, Merry Christmas and all the joy of the season to everyone

John, when I read this, it reminded me of something and I need to tell it. Years ago my wife and I were adopting children and part of the process was we had to go to have fingerprinting and background checks by the FBI. We made an appointment with the nearest office in Louisville, Ky and when we got there we were directed to take the elevator to such and such floor. Whatever I ate the night before wasn't "agreeing" with me and lets just say the confined space of an elevator was no place to be, luckily just my wife and I were on it, As thw doors opened to let us off there stood two agents waiting to get on, so as we exited the elevator and before the doors closed I said very loud: ANGELA., I can't believe you did that! She has never let me forget that one. :D
