The Gift That’s Never Returned

More money has been wasted on wedding gifts than any other private enterprise.  The one gift that’s always appreciated is money.

If you care to, you can give Rob a wedding gift by clicking on the donate button near the bottom of the right column. 

Heck there’s no reason for Rob to even tell the ball and chain what he got.

Ninety-nine percent of wedding gifts are bought by women for the bride anyway.  I mean what guy wants a bunch of fancy picture frames to cover every horizontal surface in the house?  I’m sure Zsa Zsa will probably be sending him a silver candy dish that won’t ever come out of the cupboard.

So if you’re a reader and a guy go ahead and give Rob the best wedding gift of all.  I just did my present of $50.  Of course I don’t expect everyone to give that much.  Even five dollars will count up.

Good idea, Whistler.  I’m in for $20.  Congrats Rob.

I believe you mean vertical wink Unless you put pictures on your ceilings and floors....... hehe


I think Rob hates me… I mean, just look at the pic he took of me!

Umm Sphag apparently you aren’t married?

Women want every horizontal surface (coffee tables, end tables, etc) to be covered by something.

I mean, where are you supposed to put your pizza boxes?


What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

I believe that W was referring to table frames, which cover dressers, sofa tables, end tables, etc.  At least wall frames aren’t as easy to knock over.  I don’t know how many times I’ve caught my elbow on a darned table frame and knock it and countless knicknacks around.

Yep, ElectNixon’s got it.

Whistler,

I have noticed the very same phenomenon.  And in many cases it extends to vertical surfaces and beyond.

In my experience, women are very much inclined to treat a swath of silence in exactly the same manner they would an empty wall or the top of a bare, uncluttered coffee table.  That is, fill it… usually with something completely meaningless and unnecessary.

Ah, I get it.  I am married (going on 4 years now), but we have almost all our pictures on the walls so I didn’t think of tables, etc.  My mistake wink
