If I received a bench saw, or a hydraulic car jack, I would be thrilled. EXACTLY! But it does not work that way, all you can do is try to learn from the mistakes, don't bother to figure it all out it's a waste of time. If you are going to buy her anything with a power cord you are better off buying for yourself. Such as I bought myself a washing machine one year for Christmas. She does like it and uses it all the time with no complaints. However I I'd bought her a washing machine, that would not be excusable. Bought myself a cook book when we first got together. First thing I told her was the book was mine, but if she wanted to use it, well OK. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minermark Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) Morning Gang Dryer shopping today, last one lasted 20+ years. Wife it seems has her own day off planned, a good thing. Taco Tuesday, however we will NOT be eating the cheap Pub Tacos this time round. The wife thinks clothes dryers are really expensive these days, (wonder who has been telling her that?) It could be a Grand +, meanwile placing the order for another Henry rifle. New tires for the Cessna can wait, till April/June anyway. Piped in gas when we bought the house 5 years back for her new gas stove, so gas Dryer is the order of the day.

Moderators dtel Posted November 11, 2014 Moderators Share Posted November 11, 2014 I should have known facebook, never joined myself. I think we should change your position to Official Archivist of Personal Relationships. You could answer many of the questions needing answers we have about women, it would be the longest thread on the forum, but without any definitive answers at all.(because there are none) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallette Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Well, I always think "11th minute, of the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month" and realize it will be WWI all over again if I forget... Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 My wife has asked for steamers, and vacuums for Christmas before. I thought it was a trap, but tested the water. She loves things like that, I guess I am lucky. Have a warm day folks, we went from 60 to 6 in 24 hours. I have a 15 year plan, and in the end its to move to Texas where it is warmer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Smith Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 My wife has asked for steamers, and vacuums for Christmas before. my wife is a compulsive vacuumer (two dogs and a cat that shed, a toddler, and an infant) and her dyson was the best purchase ever. expensive cost of entry, but i love them because they are extremely modular and all of the common parts which break or fail can be easily purchased and replaced. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minermark Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Morning gang, up a tad early. Dryer problem solved, forgot Gas appliances cost more on the front end, $4bones is not to bad considering the "Other" ones that do everything except make the coffee in the morning. All tough, salesman standing next to me, handling my questions, i ask about the Samsung for $1200, i point, this is a dryer? He stated, yes, So what are all these computer controls all over this thing? what else does it do? Dry cleans, steams, and drys clothes, and alerts your smart phone as to the progress. Thanks sir, wrap up that Whirlpool over there, Friday delivery. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
