What Would You Do...

Posted By Blackfive

...when your beautiful wife says not to get her anything for Valentine's Day?

Hhhhhmmmm?????  I think I hear Admiral Ackbar....

"It's a TRAP! (wav file)"

Dr. Phil might say that the key to a great marriage is listening to your spouse.  I disagree.  Sometimes, not listening is more important.

Update 7PM EST:  I'm surprised at some of you people.  Of course, I already had something - from me and from the kids.  Are you kidding?  Mrs. Blackfive is the best thing that ever happened to me.  Would I ever let her down? (Of course not.)

But this also gave me the opportunity to get some really cool Tommy Bahama martini glasses for both of us (since I wasn't supposed to get her anything).  The first Valentines we spent together nine years ago, she bought me Waterford Limoges glasses and a gallon of Bombay Sapphire.  I'm pretty sure that I did okay.  We're all different and appreciate different displays of affection, but I do know my better half.  Martini glasses are always appreciated.

Thanks for all of the tips!  I do appreciate your ideas.
