Not bring him down in order to make you feel better about yourself
Trying to knock some sense into anyone does not give me feel better about myself.

But being the Christmas season
Does this mean you are going to refrain from insulting everyone on the board for the next week? Now THAT is a Christmas miracle. [wipes her hands and walks away]

Isn't saying he would but isn't going to the same as doing it? :rolleyes:

Well, you did pick the SB rather than the Lounge. Or were you looking for spicy gift suggestions? ;)

That was just out of habit ... could have been put in the Lounge easy enough.

Okay children ... back to your neutral corners or I will have to send you to your rooms! :sigh:

Thankfully, she is relatively easy to please in that regard as her favorite flower is the simple red rose.
Excellent. Roses are never inappropriate - you can give them on a first date or on your 10th wedding anniversary (mine coming up next year, so I'm now giving serious thoughts to it). One thing though - no lingerie. Good luck.
the last thing I want to see is some pasty-faced geek with skin so pale that it's almost translucent trying to bump parts with a partner - John Simmons / outlaw programmer

See, there actually is some nice lingerie she wants (the Christmas outfit that Heidi Klume is wearing in the new VS commercials) ... but it is way too soon to a) get her something THAT personal ... and b) something that expensive (at least for a single item). Which is also why I'm avoiding the iPod I know she wants ...

Your intense focus on the matter indicates much more...
The only thing is I get angry at people who waste their money in such ways. That money could go to Katrina victims, Darfur victims, cancer research...but no. You think buying a piece of leather that cost no more than $20 to make is what will make her happy.

It's more than a lot. It's ridiculous. It's a month's mortgage. It's 3 of my car payments. It's the amount that could help Darfur refugees. It could buy supplies for katrina victims. So next time you watch the news and see others who have less than you (and a lot less than you...like a home) you can look to your wife and say, "Well, at least you have a Dior handbag."

How many refugees in Darfur have a house in the burbs or a car? Ya think maybe you're being a bit melodramatic and hypocritical in this instance? :rolleyes:

Completely away from the normal flaming of typical day in the Soapbox, perhaps some of you can offer me some advice here. I've started dating someone new a few weeks before Christmas (which is generally a bad idea, but ignore that fact for now). My question is, what would be an acceptable gift to give her for Christmas. Mainly, I don't want her to think I'm cheap (or worse, that I give without giving much thought to what the receiver likes) while at the same time not spending some absurd amount and scaring her away. I was thinking maybe sending her flowers and giving her a gift set from Bath and Body Works ... Any thoughts?

Try some handmade smellies from Lush. Their bath bombs are heavenly. :cool:

Something classy like lingerie with whips and chains would be appropriate.
Do you have some suggestions where to shop for those? :cool:

Victorias Secret for intimates and Frederick's of Hollywood for the more naughty ones. Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Clause. :-D

I was thinking more of Mr. S http://www.mr-s-leather.com[^], Stormy Leather http://www.stormyleather.com[^], or The Stockroom http://www.stockroom.com[^] for the whips and chains. :cool: Not to mention they have some leather lingerie. ;)
