Today is my wife's birthday.

I got her a membership to the gym and some *hot* workout clothes.



----




I"m now realizing my "huge mistake* and wondering how understanding she'll be this evening....especially this being the last b-day before "the big one*.....and I may have to *disappear* for a while....any suggestions on what BOB gear I take with me?!?


:eek: :eek: :eek:



How big of a Tent do I need?

Gonna be sharing it with:

How bad did I mess up, guys!?!?

Anybody ever do the same?

And live to tell the tale?

It can go two ways: you either screwed the pooch where the damage will be sudden and obvious (i.e. your black eye), or subtle, like a cracked foundation (in which that resentment will continually simmer and manifest itself in myriad ways). Either way, you're boned. :D

You are approaching it all wrong. Be like, "Honey, I love you, more than anything else in this world, and I want to do everything I can to make sure I have you in it for as long as possible."
 
That's awesome Dan, LOL !!!!!:D

I once bought mine a workout video and some small dumbells, that didn't go over too well either !!!!

Ps. Great looking dog ya got !:thumbup:
 
you need jewelry and flowers to avert death, doom, and destruction. 9and maybe a bottle of wine)
 
Sadly - I'm all tapped out, guys!!!

Not only am I going to be out on the street....I'm gonna be a shaggy bum out on the street...with just the shop-dust-covered clothes on my back.


She doesn't really like jewelry

Flowers might work....but since I'll be *on foot*...I won't be able to go far...have to dig some out of the neighbor's yard....wait....that won't work either....wintertime...rats!


Doom....here I come!

You may need to learn some tunneling skills and invest in flashlights.

3:36 Dan!

Hmmm, my wife has actually requested new workout clothes, so I guess I'm safe.


I will start to worry when SHE asks for BOB gear!
 
Mr. Koster, the first year anniversary for my wife & I (15 glorious, wonderful, exquisite, loving years ago, she reads these too), I made the mistake of getting her a "salon-spa" membership. I might as well have sent her mother a death threat . . . :) No amount of explaining could build a ladder deep enough to get me out of that hole that night. For the next 15 birthdays / anniversarys / holidays / special occasions, it is always flowers, jewelery, wine, or something for the outdoors. This ole' farmboy only touches that hot stove once & learns from it . . . :thumbup:
Good luck.
Be safe.

Damn bro...a phrase comes to mind from a favorite movie..."WALKIN THE MILE, DEAD MAN WALKIN".


I would say let us know how it turns out...but I think we'll hear....:D
 
OK, Dan.
Here it is:
" Honey you look so slim and in shape this year and I thought you were secretly working out and I thought a gym would be easier to do:)"

And I'd pack a thermolite sleeping bag liner and sea to summit ponch/tarp in case you have to go on the lamb:), e'mail us and we'll send a box of MRE's to your hidden locale...

Always helpin', yep, that's me...

Is your middle name "Smooth Talker" by chance?
 
My brother bought his wife a bathroom scale for her birthday once. Another time he bought her a new weed eater.

I asked him why he does that. He said because it pisses her off and she shuts up and doesn't talk to him or bother him for a week or two.
 
you need to make sure you have one for yourself, and just make up some bs about signing yall up for classes together.

or, try to remember all of the stuff your supposed to do round the house and havent yet, her stuff included, and do it so she has time to go. dont make it like "in addition to keeping this place clean, get you A$$ into shape now!" more of "you need some quality time to yourself to work up a sweat and ill take some of your load off"
 
I think you biffed it good... That said go ahead and phone a friend youll need a warm place to stay a bit
 
Dang....not lookin' good so far.


She had to make her own birthday dinner and before that do the dishes just to get to the sink. Being that in the past I have taken over these tasks for her typically....I'm already 2 steps in the wrong direction.


Add to that 4 wild/crazy boys running through the house playing "Tom Sawyer" and "Huck Finn" (no kiddin either...pants rolled up shirts unbuttoned, stick and all)...

I'm a gonner for sure!

I'll be singing the Mark Twain Blues round a #10 can fire in the backyard by the time Orion starts a risin'...

:( :( :( :(

Dan, tell her it is to make sure WTSHTF she will be able to help you Lug your 4 children through the wilderness to safety. She is a mother Hen and those are her chicks. That should help you somewhat, Or it will make it worse. either way spin the chamber and pull the hammer back.
 
this can only be resolved by posting up a picture of your wife in her hot new workout clothes.

after that we can determine what BOB gear you need or dont need.
