Every year it hits me...us guys are not that bright :)

Xmass...birthdays, and all the other gift giving holidays, I find my self looking for something to let wifee poo know what I would like. Sooo its off to the tools stores, Home Depot, Lowes, and the online tool web sites...looking for cool stuff toys.. I mean tools :)

Ok so far so good. But as I get wifee poo and the daughters a gift certificate for a day spa, massage, and other "girlie" stuff in the back of my brain a little voice goes..humm sooo u get stuff to "work" with while the females get stuff to relax with.

Lets face it No one makes the mistake (at least not more than once) of getting wifee poo a vacuum cleaner or other house hold "power tool" or cooking stuff. unless they just like livening a vow of celibacy :) but give us guys a new weedeater or power tool and were happy as a puppy :) maybe that's why women live longer than us men :)

I think it's because men and women are wired different.

My second AND third wife didn't like the vacuum cleaner as an anniversary present...go figure :confused:

Well... if it's a tool that we want to do something we want to do then it's a great gift.

If it's a tool she wants us to have to do something she wants us to do... well then she's getting a vacuum on the next special occasion!

Wait a minute... now that I think of it... SHE got ME a vacuum for xmas last year!!!

I suppose it's fitting with this thread that I returned it... :D

Of course, I only returned it because it broke... http://www.michelleandkevin.ca/forum/images/smiles/theyareontome.gif

I got Deb a Mantis garden tiller a few years ago. I had it sent to a friend's house so she wouldn't find it. His wife got home and saw it on the front porch and asked "What did you get now!?"

"It's Steve's to give Deb for Christmas!" he told her.

"He's getting her a tiller! That's terrible."

I tried to tell her it was what she asked for, but there was no satisfying her. She insisted I buy some jewelry or something instead.

Deb loved the Mantis, and bought a couple of accessories for it over the years.

Hopefully I'm getting her 1/2 of a big Plasma TV this year. ;)
