DS now knows that anything with a PLUG is not WANTED as a gift of any sort.
>None of our woks have plugs
Seriously? They have woks in Iowa? With or without plugs?
I had to zoom in a half dozen times, but the seal on the desk of the Review Board features a dog house in the middle, surrounded by the inscription, "Bring us your THOUGHTLESS, your SELFISH, your LAME MASSES."
And I love the PA system in the background, "Stop checking out other women in restaurants... Listen, but don't interrupt... Apologize without being asked..."Wow, where was the Doghouse when I got that wheelbarrow?
My DH was checking out cookware??? Had to have me come check it out for my approval??? I said Um nah we have plenty of cookware not to mention I see no need in spending that much on non stick cookware when you & the kids can't keep knives & forks out of them......They ruined my pampered chef collection Besides if I can convince him a card is more than enough I'd rather have the card.... that means NO SPENDING which would make me very very happy!

Ok, I asked my husband for a vacuum cleaner for xmas! He asked me what I wanted and that was it. He wouldn't get me that, though. He just went out and bought me one that day for the heck of it. Of course, now I don't know what to tell him what I want.
Either you have a very clean husband or you keep a very dirty floor 
Starting Score: 469For our first anniversary together, he got me a KitchenAid Stand Mixer. I was underwhelmed.. not only because it was like "whaa?!" but also because of the price!! Like $250! And at that time we were living on $500 per payday! Didn't say anything though, because he was very obviously SO proud of himself 
I am much more grateful than his exwife though.. when they got engaged, she cried when he showed her the ring and said "I just thought it would be a lot bigger!" He was a Lance Corporal in the USMC at the time and saved paychecks for two months! Greedy b--! She had him return it and buy her a bigger one on credit... that was the beginning of the end, lol.

People buy each other rings when they get engaged? People get engaged? How quaint!
