Yo, Prof!

[Professur]

Doesn't have any favorite music. And she's already got tons of CDs of crashing waves and blowing wind. (fucking nonsense). And there's no way in hell I'm gonna ride something 10 times my size, with a brain capable of telling it that it might not want to do what I tell it.

Then I guess going to the opera is out of the question. How about a week-end camping trip. A nice isolated cabin by a cold mountain stream (to chill the wine) the kids sent off with a relative...

 

[Professur]

Um, we have a cottage by a cold mountain lake that we go to most weekends. Not exactly a present idea.

 

[SouthernN'Proud]

Hell, as crotchety as yer gettin, how about you just go somewhere and give her a break for a weekend? (I say that in a nice way...)

What to get for the woman who has everything...hmmm. I thought AE was tough to buy for, and she is, but...

Has she dropped you any hints that got through?

Buy her some earrings. Works with my wife every time...but I figured prof to be more into doing something than giving something.

 

[Professur]

Her come up with an idea? You really don't know my wife. Passive agressive defines her.

Earrings could work. But she's got very sensitive ears. I used to have a place on the Ottawa run that I'd stop in at that had surgical implant quality earrings (piercing studs), but I can't get to it anymore. That strands me with 14+k gold. And she's a little careless where jewelery is concerned.

I'm thinking I might just have to follow homelan's lead and get her a digital camera.

Somehow, I think anything we could suggest would be lame because we really don't know her like you do. After this many years, I'm sure it's not easy to do something unique without repeating.

My best advice to you is to not only think of things that she likes, but to think of things that she doesn't like and do something to "fix" them. Besides you, what does she complain about? Is she tired of her clothes? Buy her a shopping spree. You know, that kind of thing. I mean, you need to supplement the necessity with the nice stuff like the earrings.

Do you ever get dressed up and go out? Dinner, dancing, a show, a night in the city? C'mon, don't just copy Steve's presents to his wife.

The only think I can come up with is still a Gift Cert for a spa thingie, so if you need to be cheapish, just one thing. Like a facial. Maybe enough for two so she can take someone with her if possible. Tell her she deserves it cause she works so hard for you all and all that rot.

 

[HomeLAN]

If you're going for a single thing, not a facial. A massage.

 

[Leslie]

Here. A massage for $50 at a nice-ish looking one.

OMG. You just encapsulated my first marriage.

 

[HomeLAN]

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to SouthernN'Proud again.
