Cassandra Holmes 11 Posted December 27, 2013 I haven't had my surgery yet but my 2wk diet start January 1st 2014 and my mom bought me a waffle maker but my 13yr old happened to know what she bought and had a wonderful educational talk with her grandmother and instead she got me the bullet mixer. My husband bought exactly what I wanted which was a scale and I got a heating pad. All wonderful supportive gifts I hope they are just as supportive after then surgery. 2 Georgia and kraney reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HotButterFly 981 Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) I said, "But I don't want that." He replied, "It doesn't matter what you want." We laughed so hard we almost cried. Thats the funniest thing I've heard in a long time!! You sound like a great couple. Or from the husband of FORTY YEARS who knows I am one who loves receiving presents and hands me my "card" with money the DAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS so that it "won't get lost" on Christmasday??? I give up. awweeeee...! I'm sorry.... For the 40 years!! LmAoooo!! Just kidding. Why would it get "lost"?? It's just one more day?!! MEN!! I do all the cooking in the family and when we first got married I told my wife that the first time I got kitchen appliances for my birthday or Christmas, that was the last meal I would ever cook. lmaoooo!! What about for Valentine's Day, would you forgive her then?my mom bought me a waffle maker but my 13yr old happened to know what she bought and had a wonderful educational talk with her grandmother and instead she got me the bullet mixer. My husband bought exactly what I wanted which was a scale and I got a heating pad. All wonderful supportive gifts I hope they are just as supportive after then surgery. all wonderful I deed!!

fotogrphr 69 Posted December 27, 2013 My hubby got me an indoor bicycle trainer for my bike. Now I can ride in front of the tv while it is cold! He also got me a digital food scale. I had looked at both a while back and he actually remembered! GOLD STAR 1 Dreamingofhealth reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AuntieAmbee 9 Posted December 27, 2013 Like when it comes to gift-giving. Or What we should be eating. Ummmm you mean like when you get a four slice toaster and an ice cream maker for Christmas? Re-gift time! This post made me LOL though, sometimes I wonder if they put any thought into these things. 1 Georgia reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newat52 1,613 Posted December 27, 2013 I was wondering too, if you used the knives on the ex! 2 HotButterFly and SeaGirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SeaGirl 193 Posted December 27, 2013 I'm glad he didn't use them on me. He was just a speed bump. It's all good now. My husband now is awesome and has been my best support in this journey and almost all of the journeys I've gotten myself into in the last 20+ years. And this year we were super romantic. We bought each other a new furnace for Christmas this year. The old one only blew cold air and we were headed out of town to visit my family in the east coast two days later. Being with my folks and sisters and nieces for the first time in over 20 years was the best gift! 1 Georgia reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
