If I were you, Patrick, I would call ahead before I came in late at night...you could be mistaken for the target hard to miss. :D

Geez...organs, kittens, shotguns......I bought my wife a ring. She's gotten tired of the Frederick's Of Hollywood gift certificates I've gotten her for the past 10 or so years. :) Chuck

Patrick,
This one worries me a bit :rolleyes:

She asked for a gun for Christmas??? :rolleyes:

Are you sure...
You haven't over extended your spending on the Vette this year :eek:

I know if my wife asked for a gun,
I would be worried....
Real worried.. :eek: :eek:

Just kidding...
Have a great Christmas

Now we know who the real romantic is! Good choice, Chuck.

I nominate Chuck G. as "guy most likely"...You know, the guy most likely to enjoy a full orchestra concert on Christmas Eve night. :D :D

And, Chuck...forget about Fredrick's of Hollywood, man...Victoria's Secret is the place the gals like. :D

I was looking at getting a retrofit rear disc brake conversion kit (from Stainless Steel Brake Corp) for my wife's Jeep CJ7 to replace those lousy old drums. The "gee-whiz" factor alone should get me some brownie points. She loves it when I tweak da Jeep. :cool:

On the practical side, I figure if she stops 30% faster, like they claim, she might avoid hitting something and thus I might avoid doing bodywork again. :lol: :lol:

Victoria's Secret has "class". Frederick's of Hollywood has truly sleazy stuff. Where, in the year 2001, can you still buy stiletto heel white "Go-Go" boots? :) Chuck

We are not getting each other anything.... we spent so much on Christmas last year it was ridiculous. Everything we want we have

Both of our b-day's are in Dec, so we got each other somthin'. I got my blasting cabinet, and my new Craftsman roll around chest. She got a new house in June, so we both got an early Christmas. :cheers: :cheers:

My wife, when asked, normally gives me either "Surprise me!" or "Oh, don't get me anything- the holidays are for the kids." which really doesn't help matters:mad. When you spend some time and thought to get something original, it's appreciated but to find the time (let alone the imagination) can be burdensome. A couple years ago, I went all out ;) and had my wife's gift hidden in the house. I put a card under the tree with the first clue (a hand written rhyming note) and spread other clues throughout the house so her present was at the end of a treasure hunt. The kids and the wife loved it. This year, with moving and new duties, time is at a premium so things won't likely be as fancy.

I have one rule that has never let me down: NEVER buy a woman anything she needs. Think about it.
My wife is into the VH1 programs like Behind the Music - this year I got her a guitar autographed by Rod Stewart. Last year it was a diamond and the year before that BeeGees stuff. She didn't 'need' any of these gifts, but she loved them.
