Great old songs

oops, this is going to be off topic but worth reading...


That is a perfect statement, I am going to reference that the present was bought for your woman so let me answer it...the fact that you thought about your partner enough to take the time and shop and wrap it yourself for her, is enough. You don't have to wrap it perfectly, then she will know YOU wrapped it. I can tell you and every other guy on here this...the way to a good woman's heart is not by what you buy or how much you spend but how it is presented by that I mean this, it is by doing things for her that she likes. My most precious memories and thoughts of the holiday are this: Every Christmas Phil went out of his way to buy me the little things I loved the most, it could be a $1.00 pack of candy but every year he filled my stocking with all the goodies I love, my gummy bears, cough drops, little things that he knew I loved, he wrapped each one individually and put them in my stocking. What I miss the most about the holidays is not the thousands of $'s he spent on jewelry, it is my Christmas Stocking that I miss the most, the time he put in to buy me what I enjoy the most, and wrap each one individually, then when I reached the bottom, there was ALWAYS a beautiful piece of jewelry, even when I told him STOP spending so much money on jewelry for me, he never listened!!!! just think about that, it's the little things in life that mean so much!!!!!

The present I got for my Girlfriend wasn't hard because it was a diamond necklace and it came in a nice case with a nice little fancy bag. I just left it the way it was(don't fix if it ain't broke!) I bought my daughter mostly clothes and she won't care how they are wrapped anyway. The rest, I will just tell them my 5 year old daughter wrapped them and they won't know the difference. You are right,it is the little things that matter and I decided I wasn't gonna let wrapping paper stress me out! I'm just glad I don't have to go shopping anymore.

That's great!!!!! andddddddddddd my favorite piece of jewelry is my diamond necklace good choice!!!!!!!!!!!!!! at least your finished, most guys wait till 2 days before Christmas (like Phil) when it is a total madhouse and that would stress him out...lol...and I would hear this, I am not taking my truck shopping so a bunch of idiots who don't give a darn, ding it up, I still laugh at stuff, I can thank you guys for making me remember...

With all that said!!!!!!

Well, do something out of the ordinary this Christmas...forget about clothes, think about what she likes and go for it. One year, all I wanted was a shed, I got it, Phil and Jimmy spent all night putting it up outside in the cold with heat lights set up, I still got my stocking full of goodies and a piece of jewelry at the bottom but I loved my shed, another year all I wanted was a dvd burner when they 1st came out but they were like $500.00 I got that for Christmas plus my stocking with a piece of jewelry in it...what I am getting at is this, think about what SHE would like, what she really wants and go for it, it will make her happy!!!!! I think that I told you this before, my house got robbed and all of my beautiful jewelry that Phil bought me was stolen, it killed me, but not Phil, sure he was upset but then he started replacing my pieces one by one...just think about what makes her happy!!!


OH and Robby, your Elf was funny!!!

[Robby321]

but I loved my shed,


OH and Robby, your Elf was funny!!!

Jeezz, ya gotta a lotta.."Tomgirl" in ya..."I wanna shed"!

Besides the shop, a "bomb shelter", off the side, stores gas and oil, propane, 4x7..and behind the shop, an 8x20, more "good junk!"..shed. Then the sheds, built off the back of the house, the riding mower, "shed", the small "generator, shed, for power outs. And off the front porch, left the hot tub, another 8x10.."shed"..stuff the mowers, and my minibikes..

SHEDS RULE!..
