Exactly, "Think of how happy you made her." She is the joy in your life isn't she? Happy for both of you! :love:

LOL, DSmithZ28.

Be thankful you gave it to her now....

Instead of Christmas Day.

I feel for you and can relate.

This is why, before I give a gift to someone who could possibly drag me into doing/watching anything with them, I consider the following questions:

Would I buy this for myself?
Can I be forced to do/watch this?
Do I have an escape plan?
Is the person the type who will try to rope you into something?

Well, I we are in an Oprah holding pattern because of the kids being sick and her being occupied with Christmas decorations. I start back to work Monday so I am hoping she will watch some of it during the day.

For some small amusement, I posted the hours remaining in my sig. If the hours continue to dwindle and I stop posting, please send me 2 dozen sports illustrated swimsuit issues, 5 cases of beer, and someone reprogram my TV to only show speedvision to resuscitate me from my Oprah Coma with a heavy dose of masculinity shock. If this doesn't work, and I am willingly watching Lifetime TV, please just shoot me dead.

PS: Please send the beer in any event.

ROFLMAO!

Fortunately my wife is a toy hound like myself! She'd rather be in front of HER PS2 than watching Oprah! Yeah, that's right mid-30 year-old children and we like it that way! I think the others touched upon the right way to think of it - you SCORED BIG with the shower of gifts. Your torment now earns you get-of-jail-free points later!

LMAO, one of the girls at work asked me today if I liked Oprah. I quicky replied "no", thinking back to my childhood when I was forced to sit next to my mother and watch it.

Stay strong, dsmith :approve:

Dsmith, don't ever walk away from your home computer while aximsite is on, b/c if she sees this thread you are a dead man!

Death is but a mere escape from the Oprah Winfrey 20 year Anniversery DVD containing over 17 hours of content.

Could you add one question?

Do I have anything in the closet that I could re-gift? :rolling:

Excellent thread, DSmithZ28! Sorry, but your pain is our entertainment............for now! Come New Year's Day, though, when you want to watch the Bowl games from morning 'til midnight....you can just remind the wife of the 17 torturous hours spent in front of Oprah :approve:!!!!
