My First BM...No Foolin'

Wait a minute. I thought you were talking about a real BM. Oh well. Congratulations anyway, and keep trying.

Stop when you get to bone.
 
Well, my wife's birthday was last night and I thought I would bring you up to date. It turns out, I probably couldn't have gotten a worse reaction if I had gift wrapped a turd. Women, after 30 years I still can't figure mine out. First she doesn't like the dress I bought her, "It's not a good color for Spring!" What the heck is she talikng about it's Gray! Where does it say ya can't wear Gray in Spring? Then she opens the knife, before she even looks it's, "What's the matter with you?" Oh, the one thing she liked was this Andre Boccelli CD....Big Woop!
 
My God - PhilL you never seize to amaze me - What? Did you really think you could figure "SHE" out? They can't be figured. I am only married for 2.5 years and I already know that - and you had to wait 30 years to realize it? My God - you ARE slow...

Hey - if she doesn't like it - and you may have bad memories about it, why not send it my way so I can take care of it in the mean time - until the golden anniversary - only 20 years from now...

Kid, I’m not slow, I’m stuck in REVERSE!
Two and a half years, you’re still on your Honeymoon, she hasn’t even started messing with your head yet. Once she knows she really has a firm grasp on your short and curlys, you’ll either give in or cut her loose. Her time will come.

Women who seek to be equal to men lack ambition.
 
Gotta go with PhilL on this one. 2.5 years is an easy stretch... the opening credits aren't even through rolling yet. (And if you are a movie buff, you know that the last name to roll is that of Director... Guess who's name is gonna come up, I'll give ya three guesses.)

PhilL, that was a nice try. I think I'll hold off on my attempt at the same gift for now. Perhaps the reloader this year. I can only offer you my second favorite poem:

"Cheaper to Keep 'er"
 
Well. it's not a poem, but my wife is very fond of saying, "All men are idiots, and I married their King."

Before we were married, I jokingly told her, "I don't believe in divorce, but I do believe in the accidental discharge of firearms." I knew it wasn't working any more when she bought me, a Navy Colt 44 cal. cap and ball 1861 revolver. I've no doubt she'll drive me to having that for lunch one of these days.

Reminds me of the Valentine's Day commercial that aired on the radio around here for a little while....
"...so I went ahead and bought her a camp stove. I didn't understand it, but thought, 'What the heck.' Imagine my surprise when she was so disappointed that I didn't get her a camisole!"

Good point rocky, but I didn't just give her the knife. IMO everyone needs a knife, I just wanted her to have a pretty one. My only surprise was how ungracious she was in receiving it. She could have just said, "thanks!" and dropped it in her purse. I don't think that's too much to ask, do you?
 
It is definitely not too much to ask. If I had a nickel for every gift I've gotten from her that I didn't need, I'd have a Bus full of Busse.

Don't think I'm ungrateful, cuz I ain't. I am just saying that every gift I get is met with a huge grin and a "Jus' what I wanted!" whether it is or isn't. Hell, just her remembering all these holidays impresses me, and I'm glad she thinks of me on them, but sometimes I feel she ain't thinking all that hard.

It's a light cross, but it is one we have to bear.
 
PhilL,

No Problem. Tell the Mrs. I'm willing to trade an Andre Boccelli CD of her choice for the knife. Just trying to help out.

Thanks not2, you're a Mensch, but I gave her the CD she wanted. Andrea Bocelli, Romanza, the song she likes most off it is, "Con te Partiro." We now have three versions of that song, two off this CD and a disco version from Donna Summer's CD (I thought Disco was dead?)
 
ARRRRGGGGHHHHH!
Quick, kill it, kill it, kill the Disco!!! get out your tactical emersons, and Busse Combats, and CS Kukris and chop it to pieces before it infects the rest of our significant otherss......

KILL THE DISCO....dammit

I agree, PhilL. Just say thanks, then put it away, ya know.

Oh well...

As Rosan (sp?) once said: "women that want to do as well as man have to be twice as good.

Good thing it's so easy...."

They don't call them the better half for nothing.

BTW - I am happily married (is that an oxymoron?) and I am the new kind feminist - my wife makes more money then I do.
