My basic weeding rule: if they grow in rows they're flowers;
if they don't they're weeds.

I like it I wonder if there is a doghouse like that around here 
Mary-Anne, it didn't work the first time but I put it up again and worked that time. It is very slow loading though.

lets say vacume cleaners are not an appropriate Xmas gift for your wife Nor to you tell your MIL she looks great in a bikini

Would not be bothered trying again if some idiot is trying to palm off a vacuum cleaner to his wife for a Christmas present 
And I am too old to have a Mother-In-Law..

It is only a joke about what happens to men when they give thoughtless gifts to the wife such as vacuum cleaners or abdominal exercisers, or when men put their foot in their mouth.
Personally, I wouldn't like a vacuum cleaner or similar for a gift but if a gift was given with love and the man put a lot of thought into it I don't think I would have the heart to say anything. Some men do try hard but they are male so can't help themselves sometimes

one year I got a wheelbarrow , yes it was what I wanted a nice low handled one , but you should have heard my friends going on about it similar to the vacuum cleaner I guess
but I wanted the barrow and boy it makes life easier going up and down the hill 
couldnt imagine being without it now and much easier to lug about than the big builders barrow |

I've had a wheelbarrow and electric drill, two different electric sanders and other various assorted tools which I have been happy about... as long as I can use them and are useful I am happy. My worst ideas for gifts would be perfume, jewellery or clothes. I know my MIL is getting me a new big electric frypan for Chrissie - I don't really want one, would rather have garden stuff, but I do really need one so it will come in handy... my old one died a while ago and I haven't gotten around to replacing it.

Yes I know what you mean about wheelbarrows.. I wanted one of those super dooper big builders ones with the blow up tyres and the poly bowls and I got it too its as light as a feather and runs rings around those so called women's barrows no doubt invented by a man which handles are too high then you arms are bent when pushing the jolly thing..
That's different you and I both wanted these things, same as a trailer load of compost or pebbles something I wanted, but a vacuum cleaner hell I dont even vacuum Tony does that's because of my bad back, all the same its like a loaf of bread you need it all the time, it certainly not something the average person would want for a gift, unless they asked for it..
I pick my own jewellery and especially perfume one with a hefty price tag as they linger, you only need a little and the bottle last a long time.. Not like those cheap over powering smelly ones  people tend to douse themselves with these days that send me running away from them in the shopping centres

Hi Thee, ...I shall no doubt be sorry I asked but what is an 'orgasmatron'?
It sounds interesting...
I can remember some years back.............the astonishment of workmates, when I said how excited I was that I was given a Blue Spruce Tree as a gift....it is all in 'the eye of the beholder'...
