For those who participate -- 8 Shopping days

left until Christmas.
Men will normally wait until the last possible moment. Why? Because shopping Christmas Eve day gives us the customer service we need to acquire that unknown gift. Women shoppers are out of the way leaving the sales representatives to provide us with the personal shopper assistance we need to decide what the heck to buy. Waiting till the last minute also provides a smaller selection to choose from, thus making it easier to decide.
I'm torn with the decision of wheather to buy the little bride a 102 or 79 piece socket set. The belt sander looks nice also. Could use a new garbage disposal. A new set of wooden spoons will work as a stocking stuffer along with a mag lite flashlite.
Other ideas welcome.

LOL Echo!
Get the socket set! Get the socket set!!
But watch it . . . that ratchet handle can make a brutal weapon -- if she gets her mitts on it!
 ;D ;D
Happy holiday shopping.

Considering your previous posts on the recent maniacal, homicidal behavior of the "Widder Echo", perhaps you might want to consider the
Pocket Hive
Not only is it a gift that _Keeps on Giving_, it may also take some of the Sting out of her criticisms.

After 30 years of marriage, 30 years of giving inappropriate gifts, 30 years of wrong size, or size, or color, or whatever, she buys what I am giving her. The perfect solution. ;D
No shopping on my part, she gets what she wants.
Of course, I never learn, I always work hard to find one special gift that I KNOW she will love and won't expect. So far, I've been able to pull it off, but I'm having a hard time this year. Ladies, I need some suggestions........
sign me - a hopelessly stupid man.

Echo,.............nahhhh, not even going there!
One Eye, DRoP Hints!!
Slammy, Now THAT"S FUNNY!
Domm, LISTEN to the hints....or follow Echo's lead.....
ORRR- (God I hope she doesn't hear this...) Give her the BIGGEST buncha roses this side of .......and have them delivered ON Christmas Morning(yup, it costs, but it's worth it)
With all the creative writing that goes on around here, have you troublemakers ever thought about a deep-down, from the heart loveletter......TALK ABOUT MILEAGE- of course, it's best followed by a bauble(see Echo)
Personally, that's why I've been so busy at the mall lately- my husband always says.....go buy anything you want...........he's so cute!
I know you can do this, guys- now, go get em!! (and don't forget to wrap 'em, too!)

Already got the shopping done.
She got a cruise to Alaska.
I got a '27 full fendered pro-street T roadster (some assembly required, battery not included).
She gets hers next July.
I get mine next month.
Mine costs exactly $23,473 more than hers.
Ha ha, I win.

Nope, it's a round trip ticket. And I get to go too
It's what she asked for. Remember what your momma used to say. "Be careful what you ask for. You might just get it."
Since she is letting me go with her I might let her drive my roadster after it's put together.

Bob - I'm jealous. I have always wanted to build / rebuild an old classic. Never had the time, money or space. Always seemed to be other priorities..(frigging kids....  ) Have fun with your Christmas present.
