ROFLMAO….THIS IS HILARIOUS!!!
What a gift to wake to….ty Doug!!
big hugs
This was so funny..thanks for the laugh. I think you must have a lovely smart
wife…..I can tell I like her. You better be good this holiday Doug…(Lol!)
You now have me pondering WHO to send this to. How funny! Lucienne, after seeing that video, you KNOW Doug will be good this year. :)
ROFL…. :) I forwarded this to a bunch of peep’s on my email list… especially the ones who tend to be less than astute when buying gifts for their spouses. I think the problem just doesn’t originate with men - kids and wives tend to goof in this area a lot, too. (Think of all the socks and ties you’ve received over the years).
Great Sunday morning laugh!
~~^v^~~
yes i was thinking of nose hair clippers, slippers, and car scraping equipment :D
Hmmm… new tires for my truck one year, a ‘tough box’ for the back of my truck the following year, a baja volkswagon bug complete with fiberglass fenders the year after that… he said I would look ‘good’ in it! Sheesh!
I’m now in the ‘divorced’ catagory when I fill out certain applications…
Smiles!
Hugs Elisa, Centria, Gemstar, Alluvja and Amber!
Well it makes me wonder just what to give without getting in the doghouse?
Thankfully I’ve never made the mistake of buying exercise equipment or wetvacs as gifts, except I bought a wetvac for myself which is really a gift because I’m the one who is expected to use it and she doesn’t even know how! Now I just see writen in on the calendar “wetvac carpets” penciled in on a Saturday and I know! Lol!
Yeah, it’s funny. I’m going to send my friends a link. And also, it’s outrageously sexist! Think about if it were reversed! Women would be sent to the “kennel” for “being dogs” because they failed to tantalize, tittilate and serve. They’d have to use those abs-thingies instead of fold clothes. They’d have to learn how the game of football is played and the reasons why the internal combustion engine is a thing of beauty. They’d have to learn to pole dance. I suppose I’m just not a fan of the stereotypical relations between the sexes. AND I think those diamond necklaces (that the guy who “got out” bought his wife) are really stupid! :)
They should have to vacuum too! For years I have warned men not to buy their wives and girlfriends any small appliances - no toaster ovens, blenders, new steam iron, vacuum cleaners. I kept telling them - “Think gold”.
(Spa certificates are nice too.)
How do men really feel about all those ties, socks, gloves, wallets, Old Spice, Brut, Calvin Klein.
What gifts do men really hate?
Hi Martha, TY for stopping by and I agree it is sexist and stereotypical. Well the truth is cultures are built on stereotypes and marketing in America certainly uses stereotypes to get us to buy things nobody really wants. Hey, maybe watching football on a super large HD flatscreen TV will make me a real man?
If so, I’m pass on being a real man and be unreal instead!
It’s an interesting point you bring up and the thing about stereotypes and what makes them humorous is there is some truth to them and probably it’s because we believe it to be true so it’s a self fulfilling prophesy. That is probably a good argument for viewing any culture from the outside and for not allowing ourselves to be defined entirely by our culture.
Hi Mimi,
Yeah the spa certificate is a good one, so are tickets to see Bruce or the bottle of red to go along with the night out at the local jazz club. I like things that can be shared better. Hey that way I can give and receive at the same time! Yeah!
I used to work for a fine jewelry designer, like REALLY FINE. Diamond
Rings, Necklaces, really beautiful stuff for 20K, 50K, 100K. I’d be
boxing and invoicing for the men to pick up their gifts on Christmas
eve and think:
She’s getting this extraordinary ring, I KNOW what he’s getting tonight…
I am so bad.
OMG! LMAO… with tears.
Bravo!
Hugs!

Lol! Carla you are sooo bad! So that’s how that works? And I always thought it was a little tenderness?
Hey but the diamond earrings are a nice insurance policy on the evening!
Hi Susan and Hugs((()))! So next weekend when I’m sorting laundry, whites, darks, towels, making sure to snap the bras closed so they don’t entangle everything and stretch to fit Dumbo’s mommie, I’ll wonder if I’m in the doghouse or if this just how it is? Lol!
Doug, very close to reality. Have you looked to see if you’re in there yet?
Just be thankful you’re not a male black widow spider in this life, although that does sound exhilarating. Zoooomm off to look for another spider.
Hey Lars, So I figured it was someone selling jewelry who created this vid!
A male black widow eh?
Didn’t they invent the one night stand? No worries about the morning after, cuz there ain’t one! Lol!
The phrase going through my brain is “Man Alive!” And probably that’s as apropos as anything else. Would I desire a man who moves to symbolize the commitment of the relationship with a very fine diamond? ehmmmm. Sorry. Eh. I don’t want to say “repulsive”, but geeeesh. My spirit says, “No!” to that. Keep your rock. Give it to your mom. Give me your Aliveness—in all the dimensions that this brings to mind! :)
Hey! I’m a mom - the line forms right here X for bling donations.
A very fine diamond is wayway better that a very bad man.
Martha… I love the word Geesh! I sell very low quality diamonds and the results Carla talked about are still the same… so anyone reading this and thinking, “jewelry!” unless your Bling lovin’ significant other is a diamond expert, stay away from the 20, 50, and 100K! ~grin~
I also have to agree with Marth… what’s with that Journey diamond at the end of the video? A wimpy S shaped thing hanging from a chain… ??? We’re supposed to swoon over that?
