Mrs. Tyme's Mother's Day present

Here's what I got for Mrs. Tyme for Mother's Day 2012

Very thoughtful of you sir, but I thought she wanted an electric weedeater! My wife would raise heck over that. Of course my wife does not really need much of an excuse anyway(LOL). As far as shopping for my wife, I learned a long time ago (married 33 years) that I cannot make her happy in the areas of clothes and perfumes so I gave up on them. A few years ago I wanted to get her something she wanted or needed for a gift and I asked her to give me an idea and she kept saying surprise me, surprise me. I went shopping and purchased a diamond necklace that was fairly expensive, wrapped it with the receipt included on the unlikely chance she decided not to like diamonds, and gave it to her. She unwrapped it, tried it on, and returned it the next day. I guess I surprised her! The next time I bought flowers and when I got them home she was busy doing something so I laid them down beside her. The next thing I know I'm getting my butt chewed because I should have handed them to her instead of laying them down. I said, dear, do you remember the necklace I bought that you returned and you know these flowers that you do not appreciate, well I guarantee it will never happen again. I meant it AND IT HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE! I love her, but she can be a pain in the Azz.

thanks alot thyme ! now my wife wants one:eek: i think? i can ever tell?:confused:

Olgrey, I can understand your situation.

Mrs Tyme is the last of 11 (maybe 12, I'm still confused about that after 33 years) children. She grew up with no indoor plumbing on a small farm in southern Indiana. She appreciates [U]anything[/U] and I mean[U] anything [/U]that she receives.
