Men & BUYING PRESENTS

[Macca]

Reading the Sunday Mail yesterday & noticed a heated battery operated neck warmer- for arthritis etc etc. Only about $30. Got the blue highlighter pencil & really gave it a good highlight! Asked Bruce if he had finished the paper & all ads (as he usually does) "yes it is in the bin"
"Did you see Harvey Norman's Ad"
"Yes"
"Notice anything different?" "No" Me get the paper & hands to him to have another look. Nothing clicked!!!! Had to show that normally there is not highlighter pen all over the paper!
Hour later "Would you like one?"
"You make the decision dear" He is not a gift buying person by the way. Since I first met him in 1964 birthday/Christmas cards etc have ALWAYS had, in those days, a casket ticket & now scratchits.
Guess what was in our 45th wedding anniversary card yesterday- you got it- scratchits for him to scratch
Anyway, he takes off down to HN & comes back. "All gone" Missed out again.

As I say to her indoors.

I don't take hints if you want something then tell me for crying out loud. Then I will know.

How hard is it.

If you feel I have offended you ask me to explain before you press the report button as I do not always word things right.

It seems to me, Dot, that if you have to explain then you haven't sufficiently offended the person!

Geez it's amazing what you can learn on this forum, I looked up "presents", wow was I surprised!

I guess I don't buy presents, where do you get them from?

[Dot]

A presents shop Russell (what's the weather like down there ?)
