OT: Been married 30+ years & I finally got the chance to send the key 7 seconds of the Calhoun Gomes' press conference video to my wife

[upstater]

Now, I have messed up quite a lot and have had to say, "I messed up."

But in this case, my expensive non-returnable ("useless") Christmas present required this Calhoun beauty:

 

[UCFan1513]

This is wonderful. How’d she respond?

Every once in a while when we’re running late and my fiancé and I are running I’ll yell “Andre, ran everywhere. [Her name] ran everywhere!” Not sure if she likes it but it amuses me

 

[jleves]

Well we want to know what that present was, obviously.

Don’t call her “the wrench”.

I solved that problem by buying my wife inexpensive non-returnable useless Christmas presents.

I just told the wife to grab the 4 last hummingbird feeders off the clearance shelf at Home Depot for $2.10 each & she couldn't be happier. She came home & found out they are selling for $20.87 apiece, it's a win win.

Soap. Women love soap.

Just don't write "here, clean yourself up" on the card.

“Not a dime back. I’d like to maybe retire someday.”

Or expensive shoes or purses from my experience.

BTW, I love that useful Calhoun clip since I often have to explain what I did years ago.

 

[Conndog]

When I got married 30 years ago, relatives asked me if I knew what the two most important words were a husband needed to know. They meant, of course, “Yes, dear”, but my guess was “I’m sorry”.

Do you still possess your 'nads the way God gave them to you?

 

[mussels]

Riding mower on no return clearance? Chainsaw? Fishing gear?

Come on, people want to know.

 

[CL82]

Do you still possess your 'nads the way God gave them to you?

Yes, probably in part because I've never wrapped up a bar of ivory soap and handed it to my wife.

 

[NewBlood]

She might send you this in the future

Ding, ding, ding, ding on "expensive shoes." Didnt check if they were returnable

Thank you.

Unclear how many of us you have saved, but my guess is it will be more than one.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Next year buy her a vacuum cleaner. Guarantee she won't ever forget that year's Christmas.

May not be returnable but they can be re-sellable on Facebook Maelrketplace.

But, if she sends you to meet the buyer in some random parking lot, she may have put out a contract on you.

Nah that gift sucks

Or how about that website Poshmark that is always on TV.

@UCLJ0211, you are a brave man and should be commended. Though my wife loves that stuff, I would never buy them without her picking them out. Me just playing the part of the wallet.

I could use that Calhoun quote now. I meant to include @upstater.

 

[Hunt for 7]

It is my wife’s birthday today and all I can talk about is some basketball players ankle.

Yup today is shaping up as a doozy!

As I tell my wife all the time if she complains about my sports obsession and how it gets in the way of our lives, "You knew exactly what you were getting into. I didn't hide it at all in the 4 years before our wedding. So you can't complain." And then she doesn't.

 

[prankster]

There is an Arab saying that you should beat your wife every day. If you don't know what for, she does.

Along those lines, but completely different, every morning, when you wake up, tell your wife "I thought about it last night, and you were right!"

If you don't know what for, she does!

If you had same message but omitted first half and just started with “When you wake up”, it would have been okay- otherwise, sorry but it’s offensive
