View Full Version : Like a Kid at Christmas
I ordered a Hogue/Elishawitz EX01 knive online. It's arriving in today's mail.
Here's the problem: It's supposed to be a Christmas gift from my wife. She has strongly requested that I do not open it until Dec.25th. Is that fair?:(
I've explained that I need to examine the knife for any flaws or defects. I've pointed out that I already know what it is , therefore I should open it.:rolleyes:
No go. I told her she was mean and just wanted to torture me.
Her reply... "Ahhh, suffer baby."
Should I stay in this temporary (38 year) relationship. Or open the damned package.:D

Aaah suffer baby. 38 years is a long time. Don't blow it.

My sick manipulative mind would try to turn the non-opening edict into some sort of pathetic way of coning my way into getting "lucky" tonight. :)

And every night until I could open it. I might also wait till she was gone, open the thing carefully anyway, and fondle for a bit too. Of course around my house, we get a gift early, we are ok with playing with and showing said gift off and using early too. We always show up to the Christmas and turkey day gatherings showing off new stuff and saying look what so and so got me for ________.

Course we have has gifts for Christmas (especially for jlottmc), shown it to him and then wrapped it BACK up so he can open it at Christmas...
Gentlemen. I've only been married for such a short time. Please explain this "Lucky" phenomena that you write of.:D
P.S. She plays Reeeeal dirty. She told me that she trusts me to do the right thing and I was on my honor. THAT'S just not fair!!!

I never understood the lucky thing either. With your new information I changed my mind. Dump her and open the package.
Post pics.
Bawanna: The last time me and my wife argued, she came crawling to me on her hands and knees......
and she yelled "Get out from under that bed you coward.":w00t:

Under the bed is good. They can't get a proper swing at you there. Mine got wise to that and stored a bunch of crap so I can't go there no more. Now when I'm a bad boy I stay away from stair ways or even high curbs.

When she's in that kinda mood, I try to keep her away from anything sharper than a football.
Now you got me worried about ledges and cliffs.:o

When your walking it can be inconvenient when your in a wheel chair it can be catastrophic.
The football plan is good.

There's an old joke for that one.
Guy #1: "Hey you got any nude pictures of your wife?"
Guy #2: "Of course not."
Guy #1: "Want to buy some?"
I can see you guys are not solving my dilemma. You're digging me in deeper. Reminds me of the military... your buddies will always lead down the path of serious trouble. Way to go Guys!!:rolleyes:

Did you expect anything less?
Things just went south REEEEAL fast.
I just got the mail, and the package now sits within two feet of my computer.
My mind is racing (for me, three organized thoughts is considered "racing") The wife is taking a nap.... I got the perfect window of opportunity...
I'll have a glass of wine and get back to posting my adventures in marital espionage later.:p:D:D
I had my glass (or two) of wine and I'm now sitting here WITH my wife at my side. She just shook the box in my face and said "Here it is, Nahh Nahh." I am stunned. How can the woman I love, the mother of my only child, the grandmother of my grandson, do this to me?
What is my recourse? Open the damned package.:cool:
She's daring me.

You need a knife to get into the package. Pull a internet pic and stare at it until christmas. Keep us posted.

I only live 70 miles from Indy, I can for a small price take care of this "wife" thing. What she is doing is criminal and she should be punished accordingly. Certainly a jury of MY PEERS would convict her. Just PM me and I am retired and I do ride a Harley and I look like sh-t most of the time but I am good at what I do:blah: winter is setting in so don't waste to much time. I can probably have the job done before thanksgiving to, so u can enjoy your gift with your kids etc, minus on PITA wife.:blah::blah:
keep in mind that this forum is here to help you with any problems..:hungry:

I can't believe some of you guys... Just who wears the pants in your household? In mine it is me and I can prove it! Every time I go to mop and scrub the kitchen floor and tell my wife Janet to leave the kitchen she does so immediately! :)

you wear the pants in ur family and what you say goes to, Personally I use the swifter mop for my floor cleaning chores:blah: now tha tu mention it, maybe we need a special thread directed to home things that would help us men to lead an easier life. I am not a mormon but I do subscribe to Brigham Youngs philosphy. He said "I don't care how u brighum but bring um young" or something in that order.
TIME FOR MY MEDS.:mad:
When it comes to purchasing decisions, my wife and I agree:
What's her's is mine, and
What's mine is mine.
If you believe that, you must be unmarried or recently married. Either way, you'll learn.
Pick your fights. Don't shoot your wad on something trivial.... hold your fire until it really counts. Then, let loose the hounds.;)
Hang in there, we're all in the same boat.
