I just discovered, in a conversation with the love of my life, that he has purchased for his mother for Christmas....a toothbrush. Yes, indeed. Now apparently, this is not a normal toothbrush it's some kind of robotic laser powered tooth cleaning devise that she asked for, but that was all he was intending to get her.
Keep in mind, his father is deceased and he is an only child.
So basically, the only thing she was going to get for Christmas was this tooth cleaning thing.
He does not understand why I am insisting that we go to the mall on the way to meet up with everyone to go see the movie tonight - destination, jewelry department. He also does not understand why I hunted down her wish list on Amazon and charged one of the books on there to his credit card.
So at the risk of puling other people into my domestic issues, who is right here?
Oh and here is a picture of him behaving very badly making fun of the lovely sweater vest thing that I was talking about in this post: http://www.ubersite.com/m/20796#304132
Neither of has any idea where the Santa hat came from.

I think it was a good idea that you bought something else for his mom. It shows that you really care. Now what did you get me for Christmas?
Why is everyone so concerened with what your boyfriend looks like? They're not the ones going home to him everyday.

And to answer your question, no I didn't get beat up and picked on every other day, I watched while nerds like you did.

That's it Belle. He looked at me like I had two heads when I told him that he needed to get her something else too. It might be different if his father were still alive and he were not an only child - but damn boy that's it?
People seem to have their heads squarely up their asses over the vest thing. We'll go over this one more time. The tacky vest was a gift that I am stuck with. He put it on to make fun of it. See if you are secure in your masculinity you don't have bizarre hang-ups like you children seem to have. Jebus you people take things way too seriously. Either that or here again, I have fed you your own ass on some argument and since you were completely without juice for a come-back you decided to take random snipes. Funny now none of the people doing this have posted any pictures of their own. Now I wonder what that means.

What the fuck? She's asked for slippers? And thats it? Nothing else?
Apparently not... but he wont believe me when I suggest that she could perhaps be trying to save his wallet as she is convinced we are skint all the time.
I will be buying his mum some lovely candles and a nice ornament thing or something to make up for her sons rather odd descision to take what any woman says literally.
Guys - heres a hint - if we ask for something cheap and crap, we want a surprise gift of something else too.
Doesnt have to be too big... just has to be something thoughtful.
If I ask for a new set of kitchen tea towels, I would still really like something sparkley (a disco ball would count).

JoeAverage should get credit for outing her boyfriend first! If you scroll down you will see that he is the first one to mention the dorky sweatervest and the faggy look in his eyes. Loki, if you put red glasses on your boyfriend he would be Sally Jesse Raphael.
Has your boyfriend ever experimented with guys or dressed up as a woman? I bet he has. I'm gay and my gaydar went off as soon as I saw his picture. Good luck you fag hag.

If he wants to get her a toothbrush then he gets her a toothbrush, period.
Your job is to make sure that he's not hungry when he leaves the house for work in the morning and that he has a restful night's sleep by satisfying any desires that may otherwise cause him to toss and turn.
You are not kept around to think for yourself. There are manuals on how to be a proper house pet and I suggest you stop looking at the wish lists at Amazon.com and instead purchase at least 3 of these helpful works so that you and your marriage may continue in wedded bliss.
DO NOT purchase these books on his credit card. That is HIS money and since he is the man of the house he must think for both of you when it comes to finances. In an emergency situation only is the use of your husband's credit cards valid, but you will be expected to not only pay back the amount charged along with the interest imposed by the credit company but also interest back to your husband by performing any and every chore required.
As a helpful Christmas tip I'd like to remind any of you married ladies out there that during the holiday season it is your responsibility to wrap all of the presents, send out all of the christmas cards, decorate that stupid tree you made him buy and strap to the station wagon you got when he traded in his 67 Barracuda as well to take out the garbage and rake the leaves on the lawn so that your man need only concentrate on stuffing his face with holiday delights while watching the numerous sporting events on television.
Merry Christmas, where's my damned cookie?

Some smart people have no loans because they got a full scholarship to grad school. Also, if anyone without a degree works in my law firm or any other firm I have ever been, they manage people who also do not have degrees or who have only college degrees. A formal education is not required for someone to have an educated opinion but a great deal of learning is required. Otherwise you end up referencing books you have not read and misattributing authorship.

Thank you for your oh so wise advice Suze. Tell me, in your vast experience at financial planning, how many marriages have you seen break up? Having a ring has absolutely nothing to do with my life. I think the 25 years left on a 30 year mortgage is a much larger issue that being the secondary signature on a couple of credit cards. Yes, we have a lawyer who set all of this up for us.
It makes precious little difference if I charge something on a credit card that is primarily his or one that is primarily mine. Money is fungible - didn't they teach you that in business school.

My opinion is that it's his business what he gets his mother. If you don't like it, you can get her something yourself, and you can tell him how you feel, which you did. However, buying his mother a book on his credit card is a no-no in my book. You crossed the line there.

Actually JoeAverage, I was referring to the more "slang" term of belling the cat, where it simply means teasing. But I am glad you know what Aesop's fables are.

GodChicken, I've got a newsflash for you, you pseudo-intellectual hack, I'm going to say whatever the fuck I want to. I didn't know who the fuck loki was until she ripped my first post, then dropped into my second post to give it a -2 without reading it, so fuck her and fuck you. I've taken an interest in her work since then and I've been pleasantly surprised to find I don't agree with anything she says. But yes, that's the beauty of this site we can all have different opinions and she is welcome to express them, but I will do the same you twit.
Now for you, learn what "belling the cat" means before you try to use it in a sentence. You're referring to the classic Aesop's Fable and the moral of the story was: "IT IS EASY TO PROPOSE IMPOSSIBLE REMEDIES." You fucking moron, MickGinny wasn't even doing that. If you were trying to say he was just spouting off or making noise because he was bored read a fucking book before you post, fucktard.
This line was my favorite: As it is, your appearance and user handle evinces a instant mental connection to: "Jackass"
If you're going to use big words you fucking moron, why don't you use them correctly (evinces an instant . . ., idiot). By the way that fucking sentence doesn't make any sense. Yes, I have a college education, yes I have a mastery of our lexicon, yes I am a master debater (hehehe), and I find it funny when a dullard such as yourself tries to jump up to the big boy table by throwing in a literary reference or 25 cent vocab word to appear more intelligent. Guess what asswipe, you sound like Mike Tyson (he does the same thing you're trying to do and he sounds just as ridiculous).

Just because someone goes to graduate school, or a two year college, or gets a degree or whatever, doesn't automatically vaunt them into super paycheck status. Nor does it ensure or otherwise prove they are super intelligent or have anything meaningful/thoughtful to say.
On the other side of the coin, people who are high school graduates, or even high school drop outs are not always going to be dirt poor, or be uninspired, unintelligent morons.
Yes, there are a considerable number of raving idiots and poor-house haunts wandering around this world, but they are not all in one demographic. Some have Masters degrees and they are fucking lunatics and dumbasses. Some people are dirt poor and they managed to get some sort of degree. Some people are independantly wealthy and they have no more than a GED.
Education does not beget intelligence. Nor does education beget wealth. These things which are so mightily prided over in our society are earned through hard work and perseverence, as are all desirable things in this lifetime.
A high school dropout may pick up the book and not only learn history, but teach himself his future as well.

Seriously Mick you are the one who started this. I merely mentioned that I had just gotten out of grad school as a way of explaining that I was completely free of all obligations that first year that I make happy, fun festive Christmas dinner.
I'm sorry if you are feeling inadequate about the fact that you didn't go to college but of course that is your issue not mine. Most people I know use commonly use "I went to college with this guy who...." or "when I was in college, we used to ...." as a means of starting a story.
At no point did I say, "upon discovering that I was sooo much smarter than Mick, I decided that I would stay in school forever." No I did not.
Then you attacked me by claiming that I was staying in school out of fear of the big outside world.
I call bullshit on that. So fucking what if you employee college graduates, but fucking deal, goodie for you. Guess what, so do I. I promise that you could not do my job without a college degree. In fact, thanks to the revisions in the CPA requirements that the AICPA just passed, you could not do my job without a master's degree. So somehow that makes me think I'm better than everyone else?
While it is true that college is not the end all be all that some people think it is, for me it was the only way I could pull down the kind of money that I make now. I could either go to college and subsequently grad school or what work at walmart? Maybe it was not for you, great so what, but it was the right thing for me. I'm sorry if that bothers, intimidates, or fucks with your head.
Now please just get over yourself.

Mick, she irritates the shit out of me. I disagree with almost everything that comes out of her silly liberal mouth. I saw her attack you in two of her columns and it pissed me off. Nobody here stands up to the liberal bullshit except for you and I wanted to throw my two cents in. A little reality always screws up the liberal bullshit artists.

Talking about the last book you read... "Venus on the Half-Shell" was written under the pseudonym Kilgore Trout, but the actual author was Philip Jose Farmer, not Kurt Vonnegut. In fact, Vonnegut absolutely hated that book, feeling it did a disservice to his character, Kilgore Trout. I liked the it though, and I recommend other books by Farmer. That's the kind of information I can provide with my English degree.
apparently you did not "get" what i was implying, and why would you? and why do you care? loki didn't either because after i thought about it, i realized she was the wrong person.
I'm very proud of your english degree.
I've never read anything by vonnegut.
i never went to college.
i am more successful than most of my friends that are college graduates.
i manage people with college degrees.
that is the kind of information i can provide about me to let you know i don't give a fuck about your degree.

I don't know anything about the University of Maryland. From what I've heard, it's a huge school and not a bad program. I don't know I've never been there. They have a medical school don't they? It couldn't be all that bad of a university if they have a medical school.

You and your boyfriends are both dorks. You are losers in life and frustrated at your situation. You are one of these silly liberals who think a masters from the University of Maryland means a fucking thing in the real world. You will never have any money and you will never achieve anything. You will live paycheck to paycheck and hand to mouth until you die. Education is not holding you back, a lack of personality and looks is however. Unfortunately, you can't go to school for that.
You love college because the silly liberal professors probably agree with everything you say and you're not used to that because everyone outside of school dismisses you. Guess what, now that you're out of college and you get into the real world people will think you're a joke again. I hope that $25,000.00 vacation in LaLa land was worth it (by the looks of your ghetto dump, I don't think it was). In this economy everyone has a BS or a Masters and no one gives a shit, it's like having a highschool diploma, it doesn't mean a thing. You will continue to get shitty jobs because you may look good on paper, but once you get to the interview you will blow it. You are a moron with an unrealistic sense of the world. You should be a secretary and keep your mouth shut. Now go get me a cup of coffee.

You caught me, yes that is me. Sweet jebus I have my very own penis, what fun. Now I'll never get out of the house.
I think this toothbrush thing cost around $100. I'm not sure but someone at work said that you should never give a gift that plugs into an electrical outlet. I'm not sure I buy into that though - odd philosophy.
The thing on the wall is this: http://www.moneyfactory.com/store/section.cfm/69

Is that a picture of you loki? You are an ugly lesbian hippie bitch. That sweater vest is the queerest outfit I've ever seen. Did you make that with hemp and a Bedazzler? I think it's funny how you look down on people without a college education when it looks like student loans have landed you in the poor house (judging by the picture you've provided). Let's go over it shall we?
It looks like you live in a very shitty apartment or broken down house. You can see that disgusting yellowing around your door in desperate need of a fresh coat of paint and it looks like the door of a truck stop restroom (which I'm sure you frequent to pick up other dykes). You have cheap ass door handles and lighting fixtures which shows you have no sense of style or you have no money (or perhaps it's just no class). Also, you have what look like carpet purchased from a trailer park yard sale. Is that a doggy-door??? Who the fuck has a doggy door, or is that so all of your mongrel hippie friends don't have to stop groveling on the ground when they come over your shack.
Are you jealous of people in shanty towns? I guess this is what poverty looks like. It's funny to see someone who's been spouting off liberal hippie rhetoric is a fucking pauper (big shocker). Liberal hippie might as well be synonymous with poor. As a matter of fact, I think people are hippies because they are poor not because they are socially conscious (unless you're the privileged hippie rebelling against your parents and you use it as a way to piss them off and have an excuse to smoke up and do nothing all day at college). By saying that you're a hippie you are pretending like you are making a choice in the matter, just admitting you are poor would mean you have to look at yourself as the root cause of your problems and God knows you wouldn't want to do that.
Let's say I'm a hippie so I people expect me to smell like shit and dress like shit and discount all of my ideas as "brainless hippie bullshit", because they are going to dismiss me because I'm poor anyway. Now I can be in a club of poor misfits and we can blame the government and rich Republicans for our problems instead of bettering ourselves. Fuck you hippie, I mean, poor white trash.

The phone call would be nice, but unfortunately she lives here in town and is coming over here for dinner Christmas eve. This little tradition is all my fault. When I got out of grad school, I graduated in Dec and did not start my new job until after the first of the year. I didn't have anything better to do that year so I went all out. That was also the first year without his dad so we were trying to make sure she had a good time. Everyone loved it and now they expect it every year. It's fun and all, but it's a bit out of control.

Well, a toothbrush is all well and good, but I think the *first* thing he should do is call his mother and have a real, heartfelt conversation with her.
Damn the long distance charges. See what she's up to and find out how things are on her end of the horn. Then, before he hangs up, he should tell her exactly how happy he is to be alive and what a signifigant part his mother played in that.
Contrary to what all the major retail chains and conglomorates would like you to believe, Christmas is not about buying the most expensive trinkets on your loved ones' lists, it is about realizing, even if only for one day out of the frigging year, that there are people out there that mean the world to you, and letting them know. And letting them know!!
If Seadog wants to spread some holiday cheer, he can do it best by picking up the phone.
Then, gifts can be considered, and, yes, they should be a bit more enjoyable than a toothbrush.
