<< < (3/12) > >>

Luigi:
Man, this reminds of my situation. I do not smoke, I don't go out often or spend much money for unnecessary things (well, ni my opinion). I'm the singer of two bands, well, things don't go very well there so we don't have a lot of gigs and even not much rehearsals. I do not spend much money for tech things, my "newest" console is the N64   :-[  Normally I only go to our (a friend of mine has a small hall for his business) gameroom on saturdays to work on the cabs....playing is very rare. I don't know why but she doesn't like it when I go there.....heck, I even take the kids with me so they can play some games or see a movie....so she can rest or do some sports.

Last week end I said, that there will (again) be no band rehearsal on wednesday so I will go to the new gameroom and finish the electrical work so we could start to put in and power up the games (I haven't been there for the last three weeks and next weekend is blocked due to HER hobbies!!). She didn't want me to go there!! It was like saying "There's no band rehearsal...I'll go to the nudie bar with my mate!"  ;D   She said she wanted to look the last show (3rd season) of "Desperate housewives" together with me but I said that I record it on HD so we can look on saturday or friday.

I even do not spend any money from the household for the cabs. If I want to buy something I have to gather the money or sell something.

I really don't understand  :dunno

Sometimes I think she thinks she has to compete with the cabs  ???

Please find me the nude bar that accepts random gift cards.  I have a whole stack of the damn things.  My wife's family pretty much only gives out gift cards for any event and we never get around to using any of them.  It's always to the most useless places too... never a Lowe's or a Stop and Shop.  It's always Christmas Tree Shops or Kohl's or Bill-Bob's Cajun-Australian Gouda Emporium.

I put a Visa gift card on the top of my list this year as I am tired of the random place gift card for $30.  I even added a link to where to get it online and listed stores to get it from : CVS, Walgreens...  Let's see how that works this year.

ChadTower:

I have a couple gift certificates to restaurants that are 75 miles from my house... but close to the person's house that gave them to us.  I strongly suspect that the reason we get so many gift cards to stupid places is because they're being regifted since the first recipient doesn't want to shop there either.

Can't say I see the point of giving someone a gift certificate anyway unless you're giving it long distance.  Talk about a gift without any forethought.

CCM:
I'm fine with gift certificates and money (as long as the gift certs. are for somewhere I actually shop).   I'd rather pick something out I know I want/need than be stuck with some crappy holiday print turtleneck sweater from the inlaws...
