Well, it's that time again, I guess! I'd kinda
like something different this year for the
wife.

Anyone have an idea that is kinda off the
beaten track?

    An evil tree bears evil fruit. You can destroy as much fruit as you want, but it will always grow back, and it will always be evil.

    Tear the tree out of the ground by the roots and burn it. Burn it to ash and grind out the embers with your boot until there's nothing left. Not a single spark. Not a single seed.

    A new machinegun would be nice, for the wife of course.

    Doris has not said what she wants yet, but I belive I'm going to get hit with a trip to Flordia before the year is over.

    We are playing low key this year, lots of expense this year.
    First time we have had to pay taxes & insurnace on the houses, since they are now paid off.
    Gotta come up with around $12,000 for that.
    So Christmas looks slim.

    Building her an 18th century style folding game table. Will post pictures when done. I have it roughed out, but need to round some sharp edges, and spend a day sanding it, and at least two days finishing it.

    Cimarron Model P with charcoal blue, 4 3/4" barrel in .44WCF. I will then buy some Ajax pearlite grips and have them fitted.[8D]

    This will match her other Model P and will go with her 1866 levergun, both in the same caliber, so yes it really is for her.[^]

    "The Wife" told him not to buy her anything. Y&D is always talking about the necessary purchases he needs to make before any more laws change, and the need to purchase a home....So, "The Wife" thinks that he should start saving for his toys instead of spending on her. It's not as if she wouldn't be able to enjoy his toys too[:D]

    getting my girl a silver necklace, gift card to PetSmart (a live pet wouldn't ship from Michigan to South Carolina) and the Complete Calvin and Hobbes book set. Maybe by next Christmas one or the other of us will have moved closer so we can share Christmas more appropriately

    Last year, got her a .22 LR Berreta tip-up with stainless finish and nice Berretta wood grips. Then when I liked it, she wouldn't trade it to me, and I had to buy a couple of the little buggers new. So this year, it's a blue topaz December birthstone pendant on a white gold chain, plus a handmade wooden fountain pen. I don't want my own pendant, but I AM getting my own pen like hers. Can't trust her to trade anything off to me.

    Here's the joke:

    Three guys sitting around, talking about what they are getting their wives for Xmas.

    1st guy says "I'm getting her a red Mercedes and a black Mercedes. That way, if she doesn't like the red one, she'll have the black one."

    2nd guy says "I'm getting her a trip to Italy and a trip to France. That way, if she doesn't like Italy, she has France".

    3rd guy says "I'm getting my wife a pair of slippers and a dildo. That way, if she doesn't like the slippers, she can go *&^$&^%$ herself."[;)]

    We're getting each other new wedding bands. My old was detroyed in a work incident and her finger is getting to large for her old one. We're just getting simple plain gold bands this time.
    I also got her a radio/cd player that fits under the cabinets in the kitchen. And a 50 pc set of assorted paint brushes for her painting hobby. I also plan to get her a mag-lite flashlite to keep in her car. She lost her old one.

I bought my wife one several years ago and she keeps it in her purse. She has commented MANY times how useful it has been for her.
    Oh yeah. It's ALWAYS fun to see her face when I come hopping out of the bathroom w/a bow on Mr. Woody as an early X-mas gift.

    My wife gets 5 antique pendulete clocks that will help fill out her collection. She gets misc framed prints and a couple of antique oil paintings, a little jewelry and a new Seiko Coutura watch, complete with SS band, pink mother of pearl dial, numerous diamonds around the bezel etc..

    Oh yeah, and she gets the pleasure of my fine company for the day.[}:)]

    ...Not sure yet. Back when Rem 1100's were under $300,w/the nice walnut and all,...I bought wife #2 said shotgun,...& a new 5000c ambassaduer reel. Went over really well,...she did not fish,nor hunt...and I knew this[:D]. These great Christmas gifts were later brought up as "part" of the reason for us parting ways. No big deal,shotgun does not bit#^ at me no matter what!...and is always ready to go...when I am...[;)]

    You're establishing a bad precedant. Next year she'll expect another gift and the year after that and the year after that. Nip it in the bud, as Barney Fife would say. Skip the gifts all together.

    Not 100% sure yet. Wife wants a TV for the bedroom.

    So far, as of today, hidden away...she will be in the posession of a new coat, new sweater, smelly stuff from bed/bath/beyond, LARGE purse/bag (might as well call it a suitcase without wheels) also from bed/bath/beyond.....

    She will be giving me a new electronic powder measurer (she does not know it...but I am buying it, waiting until I can slip one of the tags she puts on one of my presents...switcho presto...she gets the credit...for about a .00005 of a millisecond - sorry ...she is not blonde).

    ...oh...and me....probably a couple of several times! :)

    The best gift I ever bought was two of the most outrageously priced pillows from JC Penny's. I don't know what is inside them, but it is not feathers or polyester. They are the most increddible awesome comfortable pillows I have ever had! I think the "sale" price was around $60-$75.

    Yes they were absordly exspensive for pillows, but it was Chrismas and they are freaking awesome.

    You will have to call kimber and find out where to locate one, they where a special custom shop edition 300 of each color red, blue and silver, they retailed for 1,288 in 03 but last year the marked them down to 800.00, due to not putting them in a catalog they never sold them and wanted to push them out, sweet very very accurate gun capable of 1" at 25 yrds



    There pictures really suck
