"I could not believe it," she said. "What man gives you a toilet seat for Christmas? A fricking toilet seat, and it wasn't even that expensive."

The feminine mentality: If it's expensive, it's acceptable, even if it is a toilet seat. Whether it costs a lot of money, time, blood, sweat, tears, whatever... just so long as he suffers for me in some way.

I always give me wife several things every year, some practical, some not. We needed a new toaster one year, so I bought one, wrapped it and stuck it under the tree. There were maybe five or six other gifts from me to my wife, including expensive jewelry and niceties.

For the rest of that year, everytime I saw one of my wife's friends at a social occasion all I'd get was "So... I hear you got Joanne a toaster for Christmas..."

Lesson learned. Never again.

"she didn't talk to him for 3 weeks."

Are you sure this wasn't planned?

Several years ago, back we when used to live in Fairfax, MrsConfettiMan had to spend a couple of weeks during the summer in Charlottesville as a requirement for the masters degree she was pursuing for UVA. It happened to be at the end of July right before my birthday and she hadn't had time to shop for a present for me yet. So being desperate, she went to the college book store. I ended up getting a variety of office supplies, the most memorable being a left-handed notebook. LOL. Everytime there's gift giving involved one of us always brings up that story. I've never let her forget it.

I would ask this woman these questions. Is he a good man? Is he a good father? Does he show affection towards you? Does he work to help support the family? Is he faithful? If you listed yes to the questions above, shut up and be thankful that you have a good man.

What I find most intriguing about this story is this guys name: Stan Stanley. Is his full name Stanley Stanley? I don't understandley people using first names for surnames?

Along with Tom Thompson and John Johnson . . .

This year, my Christmas present was obedience training for the Dread Boston Salty. Talk about something I was glad to get! :)

I'm serious - the dog really needs training, and since we're going to Utah this week, he set it up to coincide with our trip so Salty gets boarded too.

We understand the concept of "Practical and Attractive" -- is it our fault if you female-types don't>

I remember when my wife and I were dating. I gave her a gold necklace for Christmas among other items. She gave me
a porch mat. She didn't like the carpet square I was using at the time. 12 years later one of our Christmas traditions is to laugh about that porch mat. The best part is we still have it.

Last time I put in a door I gave the extra shims to my kids. They had a good time creating things with those shims.

If you think Stan Stanley is funny, my husband is John Johnson. It's a name passed down in the family. Now, that's silly.
