    Can't say on here, she actually likes to read some of the posts to see why I'm so crazy

    I asked my wife what she wanted and she said that she
    didn't know. Then she said since we have been married 25 years that I should know what she wants. If she doesn't know what she wants how the %$#*! am I supposed to know? :confused:

    Most of the time, my wife tells me what she bought for herself and has me wrap it up. But I do buy her some girl things that she still seems pleased with. I have spent hundreds on pearls and stones that she just puts away and never wears. She just doesn't want to bother with it.

    Well open a troll account and give us some ideas!

    Otherwise 'nothing,' buy yourself something' or ' tell me what you want' isn't going to get it done!

    (Looks like I'm not the only one that could use some help)

    My wife left a list of ideas on the fridge. That helps.

    My Christmas gift came yesterday. I don't think I was supposed to know about it though. She wasn't home, but I was when it got delivered. I put it in the garage and will play dumb.

    Aftermarket backup camera in her Chevy Avalanche went out. Told her I would get a new one for her b'day in Nov. New one does not connect to the old harness (Alpine sux in that respect) so i would have to run a new complete length harness to the head unit...which does not work well either...again Alpine appears to not be the quality that they use to be. Looking to get a new head unit as well now for Christmas...this may get expensive as she needs navigation in it (and yes she needs nav :p)..and it WONT BE ALPINE. Asked her today, wouldn't you want to trade in for an Avalanche LTZ that has everyrything you want like leather and nice wheels? Talk about expensive though OUCH...I am looking for a new head unit for her paid for 2008 :D

    Got mine the electric blanket and crockpot that's she's been eyeing, a mortar and pestle, pink polka cotta 1950s style pot holders to match the hostess apron she is so proud of. What else... Oh, the book that goes with the BBC series Wartime Farm. Still waiting for that last one to show up.
