DIS/DISUnplugged/Dreams December Event Info – DISapalooza (continued)

[jeanigor]

I am not fond of shopping that entire weekend, unless it's online. Unfortunately this year we will have to do some shopping for the girls since Courtney is away at school and we will need to get her presents that weekend. We aren't big on surprises in our family now that the girls are older. We get what we want and it get wrapped and put under the tree. I wonder if my new plasma flat screen will fit under the tree? Santa????

Have you been talking to my DP? He wants one in his stocking....

That would be one big stocking

 

[georgemoe]

It's my choice not his.

I'm picky... some might even say high maintenance.

Makes sense to me. Deb doesn't buy my electronics.

There's a thread now too.

Teresa sent pictures to FB.. Whose the little boy and why are there 15 people recording the podcast this week???

packing your angry eyes just in case?

If your pups are anything like mine is, that hamster will be attacked then flung around the room a few times. All of my girls webkinz & slippers end up that way.



Between your trip report and this post, you have me wanting scones now for the longest time. I do have all the stuff to make them, you're gonna make me break down and make them, aren't you?????

DD had unicorn slippers that one of our dogs went NUTS for to the point where it was dangerous for her to wear them LOL!

I have all the stuff for scones except the butter. Bummer.

I'm sure you are very nice but have a low tolerance for incompetance.

You're actually exactly right. I am from the school of thought that you have a job to do and you should do it right the first time without whining. If there is something I can do to make your job easier just ask. If you are incompetent, then just do us all a favor and leave.

I could use a manager or two with your approach. We spend way too much time holding hands and making excuses only to let the person go after much agony

Paul does not shop period.

I buy my own Christmas presents, wrap them and then act surprised when I open them.

It works for us.


Paul, can you pick up bread on the way home? Jen's out. Thanks Love ya. :

I draw the line there.
I will not do this, I did it for a few years, never again.
I exploded on him once and said if you don't know me well enough to go into a store and say I think she would like that, than you don't know me.
Well he went out and did a terrific job.

 

[katscradle]

Works for me too!

Don't you even think about it mister!

Matthew does a pretty good job at shopping for me. He doesn't buy me clothes or anything like that. We make lists using Amazon.com wish lists and go by that for each other. Very rarely do we stray from those lists...makes things so much easier! We know each other well enough to know what the other likes and dislikes, but having the lists make things way easier!

Last year was our first non-traditional gift exchange year. Usually we set a dollar amount and get several things for each other. Last year, I begged to go to MF and he caved...so that was my Christmas gift. And then I got him his DSLR camera. We went together to pick it out so that he could get what he wanted...

Not sure how Christmas will work this year. I'm considering DAP my gift again, but he's insisting that DAP is my birthday gift. I don't care either way to be honest...as long as I get to go to DAP!

I got IOU's for Christmas a couple of years ago

Seriously. DH went out shopping for me on Christmas Eve. He claims to have had no idea it was going to be such a zoo and that he wasn't going to find anything, and he didn't realize all the shops were going to be closed by 5:00, and he just gave up

 

[jeanigor]

DP doesn't shop. He doesn't see the point in gifts. I don't mind, so much. It is about giving after all. (And some of his pressies are for us anyway--like he would really know how to use a counter top appliance or cookware)

Pushing buttons can be very complicated.

He still asks if he is using the toaster correctly.

This is also why I am in charge of the laundry machines and dishwasher.

What kind of a toaster do you guys have? Mine just has a lever.
