Title: Christmas gifts...
Post by: TAB on December 08, 2020, 01:18:27 PM
so with all this kungflu crap and our forced quarantine after a trip( the misses work)  i have not had any time to shop for her gift.  Any great  ideas that I can order online?   I am pretty much stumped.  I don't have a budget per say, but I don't want to spend $$$$

One of those glass pictures they advertise on TV.  I sent one to my mom and she loved it.

A book of Doctor Jokes?

Heck, she probably gets whatever she wants.  You just need to find something she says she wants to order but forgets to order.....

After a year or 2 of letting me buy her presents my ex wife started taking me to the store and pointing .   
Then she quizzed me later to make sure I didn't forget.    ;D

According to the Wall Street Journal and New York Times, Chuck had fallen off a horse, and broken two ribs, two days before the flight.  He and his wife were racing horses, and he crashed into a fence.

I'd put more faith in the story HE told before I believed the WSJ.

They and a couple other outlets with the same version claimed to be quoting his memoirs.

Ok ...

Riddle me this, how in the hell did a reply I put on the other thread end up in the middle of this one?  I know that I am losing it, but there is no way that I hit jumped topics  this bad.

However, it does have the making of one of our classic thread drifts.

Hell, I thought it was on purpose.
The way we drift it just kind of blends in.    ;D

We're counting the puppies as her gift.   She wanted them. 
At Thanksgiving as she's done every year since we remodeled, she complained about having only one oven. (Plus I hate the Dacor oven anyway.)  So I've order a replacement double oven.  Seeing as how it won't arrived until Feb 1st, it'll also be her birthday gift (1/21) as well.

Well $hit.  Here is is 4 days before Christmas and I need to buy my wife a gift.  Yeah, yeah, yeah Tab...I know what I said.  I can't take my own advice.

Right now I'm looking at some expensive kitchen knives.....and they actually are something we wanted to order.

I have Wustoff, Henkel and later bought Victorinox!  Not as expensive but believe me, they are easy to keep sharp and don’t break the bank!

We finally went all K-Bar knives in the kitchen.  Threw out the mixed collection of knives of questionable origin.

False edge is great for splitting hot dogs though.    ;D
