I was laying on the couch last night, the dog was laying at the top of the steps, and I had a Michelob light[:p]. What happens? The Christmas tree base broke and the hole thing fell over. Lights and bulbs busted on the fireplace, the star on top flew across the room, it was a mess. Who gets blamed as soon as you know who runs in the room to see what happened? Sure wasn't that dog[:(!], it was me, she's convinced I hit with my feet or something.
So I had to go with her last night to buy another artificial tree[:(]. I told her 7-1/2' high and 5-1/2' girth was way to big, but she wouldn't listen. Now we have a huge tree in our room, sure hope it doesn't require extra presents. [:0]

    I only have one question. Why'dya do it? I mean you know she loves Christmas. You know she loved that tree. C'mon Sus, it was your first Christmas tree "together". What'dya go and knock it over for? If you didn't like the tree you could have talked to her about it.

    That's it, I'm done.[;)][:D][:D][:D][;)]

    P.S. Remember: Whatever you buy her for Christmas this year has to be outdone next year and the year after that and so on and so on...Be careful or you'll get your * exponentially screwed.[:p]

    Was it broke to far up to just make it a shorter tree? As Ben mentioned you have to out do yourself every year, might go ahead and start with the lump of coal and get that out of the way. I'm up to her wanting a remote start on her car (I never should have showed her I had one on the "DODGE"[;)]). What will I do next year?
    Anyway on the more important side of things, Why in the he!! were you drinking light beer[xx(]. Oh and if you do need to take up space under the tree you could always use extra large boxes for wrapping ...or buy me something.[:D]



    Why do they make it taste so good and put it in them little bitty cans- Dad

    Amazing, how'd you do it?[:D] My thoughts were cuttin the tree a little bit, then fishin line to pull it over while you were snug on the couch.[}:)] I see more presents under the tree for her and less for you.

    Better to be dead and cool than alive and uncool!!

    1st off, Ben, thanks for the tip about outdoing presents from year to year. Don't be surprised if a short blonde with a bad temper calls you a few choice names over the phone, but thanks for the tip. [;)] man will she be mad when I give her empty boxes. [:0]

    Bang, the base it sits in broke, now wouldn't Lowe's, Home Depot, or Ace hardware have one of those? Not around here, even went to the dreeded Walmart to [:(!] So we got a new tree. As for light beer, I used to drink a little more than normal and light beer helped me keep from being a total plumper, from there on I acquired a taste for it. Regular old Bud gives me a headache anymore [8)] . I can't buy you a present and not everyone else so I'll just start with telling you no and hope nobody else asks. [:D]

    Buckey, I didn't like the tree that much, but Christmas in general is not my cup of tea anyway. Your arrows were answered to Bang [:D] No seriously, do you need some arrows? I have 3 or 4 dozen that will shoot around trees for you. [:D]

    Taco, a well thought out plan is needed, plus a sleepy person who had a few beers. The rest falls into place. [;)] She won't see any presents unless I find somebody to wrap them for me, wrapping sucks. Shoulda seen her when she opened Farm & Fleet bags and brown paper grocery store bags the first year we were together. I thought someone pissed on her dounut or something, boy was she sad. Figured out then my wrapping doesn't cut it with her. Western boots, carharts, Rocky's, and Kitchen appliances have moved more towards rings, necklaces, watches, leather coats, and perfume. She cuts out pictures, writes down the store name and I shop. The girls working at the stores get a kick out of it when i show them my picture lists. [:D] Oh well

    s.gun, I ain't saying nothing, I plead the 5th cause there isn't any proof. No dog would do that? Need a dog? Ours is rotten to the core.
    [:D]

    ENOS29, finally! Thanks! least some members look out for each other [;)] No worries though, she likes it here so everything will be fine with us [:D] There isn't anything wrong with light beer is there, plus you look cooler cause you drink way more [;)] we had our work Christmas party last weekend, wow, drank gin/tonic before the party and during dinner, then bud light after dinner till about 3 in the morning. Kinda had a dry mouth in the morning, had to get up at 7 for breakfast, those eggs went down rather hard that morning. [:D][:D]

    You guys won't believe this. Got home from work tonight and none of the outside lights were on. No biggie, we had some bad wind the last couple days. So me the electrician decided to fix them, narrowed it down to the first set not letting voltage through. I took that section down, started testing it, got bored, figured out I had another set so I threw the bad ones away. Put up the new set, all works good again. Just finished eating dinner and the outside lights went out again. Guess who acts like it's my fault? You guessed it. [:D]
    Gonna be a long Christmas this year. [B)]

    [:0][:0] several years? Can't have that, I knew I shoulda pushed harder for the prenump.
    newly weds I guess, she's lived here for more than a year and we dated for somewhere in the 4 year range I think. She should be broke in by now. [:0] did I say that?
