Men get tools and drink beer in complete happiness (well, football helps). Women get household appliances and go shopping. The world is in correct alignment ๐
My wife wanted a carpet steam cleaner for Xmas…so she got one. I also got her a ‘day at the spa’ gift card, so I don’t look like a complete idiot. Funny toon.
funny thing is, my dad bought my mom a lawn mower for their 30th anniversary. she LOVED IT. yea, she doesn’t make any sense. and after knowing me… that probably makes perfect sense.
Hmm Bearman, hate to have to point this out as I know you are precious about spelling but it is a SNUGGIE not a SNUGGLE. ๐ . As for household appliances, they are up there with friggin soap ๐
This year, I gave my mum/mom a pair oven mitts ’cause the ones we have are too thin or have holes in them. And also ’cause she rarely uses them and when she burns herself, instead of putting her hand under cold water, she allows a blister to form and then she puts a dollop of toothpaste on the blister. I told her she no longer has any excuse to waste our toothpaste.
nope, i got Julia Child’s, Mastering the art of French Cooking and it’s just what i wanted!! i can see why she’s pissed, the snuggle doesnt match her shoes!
I can’t believe how these ridiculous Snuggies have taken over the world. No way in hell you’d see me in one of those. NO WAY. Nope. Nuh-uh. Maybe one day when someone makes a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles snuggie. Maybe then. I don’t see that happening any time soon.
i’m afraid i’d get in one and never be able to find my way out! have you seen how big those things are? loons got a hilarious post that rates a close second to the snuggly! ๐
That is totally me! Except I got one of those steamy-type floor cleaners. I also got a super-cool, fancy schmancy Macbook Pro, so I can hardly complain. ๐
Haha I’m so glad that I have never received any household appliances for gifts . Master Electrician knows better Muhahaha
That’s b/c you probably make him do the vacuuming given he works with electric type stuff.
I’ll just stick with my Christmas cards for mom. She prefers those over a vacuum anyhow.
My mom doesn’t get my humor in my cards..haha
Haha….. I bought my youngest son and his partner a vacuum cleaner for Christmas – they asked for one!
The inspiration was that my sister-in-law got a vacuum from her mother in law. I actually wanted that vacuum and tried to trade.
Haha!
My friend got a pink snuggie at our Christmas gift exchange.
And I got an iron from my sister.
Ironic, isn’t it? (and no, I wasn’t trying to be punny)
But you always are.
Come …be grateful its the recession
True but moms tend to get practical gifts while dads get fun ones.
Men get tools and drink beer in complete happiness (well, football helps). Women get household appliances and go shopping. The world is in correct alignment ๐
So why is it that I wanted the vacuum.
What? You’re not married?
My Mother in law got us a vase and my sister in law a sweeper. Who the hell needs another vase?
Who the hell needs a mother-in-law ๐

Probably b/c of all the nature you track through her house.

My mom was always the more handy of the two.
My mom’s got me, so she’s doing pretty darned good! ๐
Ummm…hopefully you have some siblings too..haha
Nope. I’m an only kid. Sucks to be mom. Hahahaha!

Shhh…I know that. I did that purposefully in case the snuggie people took offense to me poking fun at their product.
Ha! I thought the same thing!
But notice how I didn’t bring it up, Bearman…you might remember that the next time I have an “abstract sculpture gallery opening”…
Its all about the conversation. I never rag on your sculptures. Just your cut and paste photo montages.
You too huh Bschooled ๐
I want the slippers!!
I think they were sponge bob ones.

If she rarely uses them, maybe you should staple them to her hands.
Annabelle just got an Iron but luckily I had nothing to do with that gifting … ๐
Or else you would have had an iron mark on your face.
Speaking of pink snuggies: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h05ZQ7WHw8Y
I got ‘girlie type gifts’ but also got new motion detector lights from my guy! Very practical.
Ha! That seriously made my day, DF…
Isn’t it funny. My son found it and I knew it would have to be shared somewhere!
He installed them as well, double bonus!
But do they work?
Hmm, well I must admit, one works the other needs a bit more tweeking! but don’t tell Joe..
nope, i got Julia Child’s, Mastering the art of French Cooking and it’s just what i wanted!! i can see why she’s pissed, the snuggle doesnt match her shoes!
Hello ms Lynn. Hope you are enjoying your sabbatical.
yeah but i’m much more comfortable on your blog giving you hell! (wink)
I’ll take the abuse.

Someone gave me one for my birthday. It was itchy and didn’t stay on my shoulders. I think the cats own it now.
crap, did i get the wrong size?
Nothing says “Christmas” like a Vacuum Cleaner…. except maybe a Blender…
And nothing says blender like Margharita!!!!!
Bearman, great work thanks for the laugh, and the advice on the bamboo tablet! I am having so much fun with it! Merry Holidays to you and yours!
Purps…no problem. I am waiting for the price of the cintiq to go down to upgrade to that.
That is totally me! Except I got one of those steamy-type floor cleaners. I also got a super-cool, fancy schmancy Macbook Pro, so I can hardly complain. ๐
That means I expect more comments here b/c of your increased speed.
