Love your stories about spouses and gifts...hi all,<br /><br />Love your stories about spouses and gifts! I will make sure Michael reads them - will make him feel so much better. <br /><br />Am feeling a little overwhelmed today with books to read and write and the panel to write up - and other stuff, so won't comment more except to say, thank you!Louise Penny Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10316557270587688970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885582611314646448.post-64184111679051576782010-04-19T06:24:48.929-07:002010-04-19T06:24:48.929-07:00First year married: my birthday, pots and pans, F...First year married: my birthday, pots and pans, Farberware, but still; Christmas, a garage door opener. 36 years later, it's Barnes & Noble gift cards. That works, even when he forgot the anniversary the last few years.

A truly considerate, kind, loving man, he inexplicably seems to think that the reason my car is messy is that I do not have the proper tools to keep it otherwise. Which explains the handy dandy car vacuum, followed a year later by coupons for the car wash. I think I made my feelings about this trend clear, as he has not given me any other "car cleanliness" gifts. <br /> <br />Nikki has it right--good thing I love him!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786511163919657885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885582611314646448.post-76412689662688011652010-04-18T19:04:33.645-07:002010-04-18T19:04:33.645-07:00Louise--nice to almost see you :) LOL ...

Gift - NOTHING.<br /><br />Second Christmas: A sewing machine bought on Boxing Day for the sales.<br /><br />Third - tenth Christmas: cheap books, mostly non-fiction (guess who loved them) from whichever airport he was flying through to get home.<br /><br />I won't even mention our anniversary, which is Dec 26.<br /><br />I think the gift giving was just too confusing for his PhD mind.<br /><br />Just finished my second reading of The Cruelest Month and discovered so many clues for the next books that I will probably read it a third time before October..Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18237323650360120037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885582611314646448.post-10625120777728743402010-04-18T14:27:11.633-07:002010-04-18T14:27:11.633-07:00I think that the worst gift a man ever gave a woma...I think that the worst gift a man ever gave a woman was a set of snow tires for Christmas! This was a fried of ours who gave it to his significant other.

My husband has similar taste in gifts like the bath mat. He bought me a meat slicer one Christmas when we had little kids that were always sick and many doctor bills and couldn't even afford meat. He has never heard the end of it either.Jo B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885582611314646448.post-56317832014289060862010-04-18T13:03:25.074-07:002010-04-18T13:03:25.074-07:00I'm taking the ash situation rather personally...I'm taking the ash situation rather personally since it's blocking a shipment I'm waiting for from Amazon UK. Are you sending the edited pages to Britain? They might take a while getting there. But it's off you plate, and that's the main thing, right?Barbaranoreply@blogger.com
