Siren.Mosin said: » /warmshandsbythebonfireofthethursdays I really have to quit smoking, move to the tropics, or get back into killin' shape, because my circulation is le sheit. I think I want to get the teenagers some birthstone jewelry. some gold or something. how lame is that on a scale of 1-10? It's times like this I get super bummed we ran off all the resident NI women. Ms. Z and Kara could shed some light on this I bet. WHAT ARE OUR CRIMES?!?! .... bah. got the boy a set of nerf guns so someone can have a battle with him instead of him roaming the house making victims of the animals and his siblings at will. The wife says she's paying bills, and I'm not supposed to get her anything, lest the consequences be dire... But idk. It seems like a guy could toss her a couple hundred bones and tell her to get me something from her? christmas is dumb. I know nothing. The weather went back to ***, super cold and snowing. naturally I took my winter office pea-coat to have it cleaned and buttons secured. so I freeze my balls off in this here corporate hoodie. ahhhh life, you whirling dervish. how's the rest of NI?

It's times like this I get super bummed we ran off all the resident NI women. Ms. Z and Kara could shed some light on this I bet. As long as they like their birthstones and like jewelry, I don't think it's lame at all. Gold/silver as appropriate to their tastes as well; I'd consult someone who knows about current jewelry trends as to actual styles; I know my wife's tastes but can't say whether or not they're currently "in." Most likely not because we're a pair of ***' weirdos. Siren.Mosin said: » It seems like a guy could toss her a couple hundred bones and tell her to get me something from her? christmas is dumb. My wife and I spent a long, long time (that is, Christmases 1998-2015 inclusive) in a bit of an escalating arms race of seeing who could outdo the other's/last year's gifts. We mutually agreed to pump the brakes on that last year and try to do more personalized, less spendy stuff. It's certainly easier on the wallet after I've already bought the family gifts. Maybe find something she'd like, wrap it and hide it somewhere and come Christmas morning play the "you said not to get anything card." Then if she reacts genuinely pleased that you listened, keep it hidden until Valentine's day. If she seems even the slightest bit dejected, follow it up with, "BUT HAHA! I DIDN'T LISTEN!" /presentsRADgift! Siren.Mosin said: » how's the rest of NI? WEARY? EXCITED? SULLEN? DRUNK? sup? Tired as *** because I stayed up way too late last night drinking porters and painting my wife's presents. But I'm really excited about them. Siren.Mosin said: » this is my go to 95% of the time, but she's using love as a weapon ramy, and I'm scared. Yeah. I got nothin' for this situation. "Don't get me anything" is something that will absolutely never be obeyed in my house no matter who is giving/receiving the "order." Money expenditure may be minimized but presents are still going to happen. Siren.Mosin said: » two of these with a ton of extra bullets. Word. I'm a fan. I, uh. Have a bit of a Nerf collection going. I find they're almost as fun as real guns and you don't get in trouble for shooting them in the house. I just want to go home... /facedesk
I didn't want battery powered ones because then I'm in for like another $50 bones over the course of the year. /shrug

Siren.Mosin said: » I didn't want battery powered ones because then I'm in for like another $50 bones over the course of the year. /shrug The motorized flywheel blasters look cool and perform okay but they also have a tendency to jam and just overall aren't worth it for kids, imo. Siren.Mosin said: » I'm not supposed to get her anything, lest the consequences be dire... um... christmas flowers! like a bouquet or something in a vase or a pot you could go roses or mixed flowers and *** or those uuuuummmmmm.... uhhhh PARKER Edit: Poinsettia? /snaps fingers Yes! PARKER! good man! ok you slap a bow on it and stick it on the kitchen counter and then IT'S NOT FOR HER!! see? yeah.... these aren't for you baby... they're for everyone! to enjoy!...for the holidays! heh heh heh and a maybe box of her favorite candy/chocolates for everyone to share! /wink /rubs hands together evil~y win on a technicality! don't fall for that "I don't want anything for christmas" that's the oldest trick in the book. you gotta get her something even if it's something she needs Shiva.Nikolce said: » win on a technicality! I like how your old decrepit mind works... Siren.Mosin said: » Shiva.Nikolce said: » win on a technicality! I like how your old decrepit mind works... like a car driven through a murky swamp pond... /tents fingers evil-y [insert diabolical laugh here] let's see what else we have..... [rummaging through old cardboard boxes sound] AH HAH ohhhh ok this is my special patented christmas surprise that surprises nobody because I do it every year...surprise BOOM BABY idea number two is a bit harder... you bake her something. I bake cinnamon rolls early on christmas morning now let's say you've never seen the inside of an oven before there has to be within your family or circle of friends someone who knows how to bake that could help you.... you schlep all the ingredient over to their place, bake them off and WHAMMY That might be a touch out of my wheelhouse, atm. the best time to learn anything is now though...
Now you have me thinking about caramel rolls that I'll never get again because the lady is dead. Siren.Mosin said: » That might be a touch out of my wheelhouse, atm. the best time to learn anything is now though... Now you have me thinking about caramel rolls that I'll never get again because the lady is dead. YouTube Video Placeholder dude...that's exactly why it's the perfect crime.. nobody expects them to be edible... YOU CAN'T LOOSE. it's all about making the effort.... /looks into caramel rolls so hungry for sweet rolls now.... caramel rolls hmmmmmm Shiva.Nikolce said: » /looks into caramel rolls they were so *** good. let me see if I can find a picture of the ones I'm talking about. I was going to suggest the "make something" route as well but I figured with three days to go that might not work out.
But baking shouldn't take too darn long. Ramyrez said: » I was going to suggest the "make something" route as well but I figured with three days to go that might not work out. But baking shouldn't take too darn long. no it's a lot easier than it looks...even I didn't *** up the cinnamon rolls... and I'm me /points at himself anybody can do it it's time consuming but easy Siren.Mosin said: » PARKER edit: for everyone's convenience: Siren.Mosin said: » /warmshandsbythebonfireofthethursdays I really have to quit smoking, move to the tropics, or get back into killin' shape, because my circulation is le sheit.

Shiva.Nikolce said: » no it's a lot easier than it looks...even I didn't *** up the cinnamon rolls... and I'm me /points at himself anybody can do it it's time consuming but easy Oh, yeah. I meant that cooking/baking didn't cross my mind. I was more like "Well do you have time to buy a lathe and a bunch of woodworking tools and make a table?" I get really, really ambitious once I start even the smallest of projects and this ***spirals. Ramyrez said: » Oh, yeah. I meant that cooking/baking didn't cross my mind.

Bahamut.Milamber said: » Kara says if they like that type of jewelry, that it depends on the teenager. But either go for or it or not, also depending on if their birthstone is even pretty. HEYO!!! how's things?!?! good to see you guys are alive and (presumably) doing well! I already took her vague advice, and just did it. Tell her thanks, and heyo. hug them kids and stay warm over there in europe. Shiva.Nikolce said: » .....also- hey how ya doin', good to see ya, nice hearing from you, happy holidays, got nothing but love for ya, hope everyone is doing great over there in freaky deaky denmark hugs and kisses merry christmas..... I second most of this. Oh, and you guys should come back once the site deteriorates to just niko and I.
I got the mrs. better stocking stuffers than usual. I think it qualifies for 'beating her on a technicality' also we're going to go see a show in january, so I'll spoil her more then. All that's left is maybe something for the mother and grandmother. They have everything they want already though, so it always feels weird and forced. maybe I'll skip it this year. I know nothing.
