Because when the woman doesn't like it, guess who gets to deal with the insanity? Moi! I actually won't even accept an order for a surprise engagement ring. If the woman doesn't see it, I'd rather the business goes somewhere else. I don't have time to deal with the typical fallout from that!

He brought them when he was coming back form working out of town. <BR/> They were gorgeous. <BR/> So, on his way home, he thinks that his mom would like some too. He stopped at her place and gave her half. <BR/> That doesn't include the ones that he buys at the grocery store and then says "Don't say that I never buy you anything." <BR/> Sigh. <BR/> Back in the day though, when we had $$$, he bought me jewlery on a WEEKLY basis. <BR/> Those were the days.Biddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07745873261311850810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28046812.post-10627273023514830112008-01-28T11:40:00.000-05:002008-01-28T11:40:00.000-05:00I'm the opposite.
