I once gave my wife new trash bins for all of her gardening clippings. I think it was a mistake... sort of like splitting the KB into 6 TFs and sending them in different directions.
Next year I'll fill the trash bins with chocolate and flowers.
LOL Next time follow these easy steps when getting a woman a gift.
1. Think of gift idea.
2. Does it have any practical use whatsoever? (in other words can you use it to do something)
3. Yes? Go back to step one.
4. No? You have found a good gift.
The words of a wise, and experienced, man. Heed them, my brothers.
So is getting your mother an outdoor antenna installed fit into that category of a practical gift? She gets perfect tv reception now, but mothers are probably less traumatized by practical gifts.

This last Christmas I was out shopping for my wife with my 3 year old. He REALLY likes to play with vacuum cleaners so I purchased one of the small hand held dustbusters for him as a "gift". Wrapped it up and put it under the tree without my wife knowing. When he was unwrapping it, the look on my wifes face was priceless. She actually thought I had given it to her and he was opening it by mistake. He was going bonkers (best gift ever bonkers) and she had this incredulous look on her face - something like the WE HAVE BEEN MARRIED 15 YEARS AND HE IS GIVING ME A VACUUM CLEANER look. All was well when she realized it was NOT for her, but everyone got a pretty good laugh at her expense on that one. Its probably one of the few "toys" Bryan is still playing with on a regular basis from Christmas! [:D]
You lose more change that way.

Give a vacuum cleaner instead...[:D]
That is quite possibly the only thing worse than AE as a wife B-day gift. I suggest a washing machine. [:D]

I did ask wife this year if she'd want new computer monitor...big mistake. She replied quite acidly:"You are the only one in this family with time available to waste on computer!" [:D]
I did have to resort to spa weekends and chinese massage vouchers after that.

The best thing would have been: no gift at all for her birthday.
Then, you would have a lot of time to play in the future.[8D]
So, my advise is no gifts... [:D]

Na... nono, no don't do that.
Buy her a nice thing, like a Vacation to South Spain, Tunisia, or Egypt. Make it a 3 week trip.
When she is on vacation, you will have all the time you need to re-calculate your industry and production, and to fine tune your plans ect.
My wife had a 1 month trip for 4 months ago, and during that month I had more time then ever before... and I usually have a lot of time. [8D]
