    OMG, dont care if it was the wife, if she ever put a gun to my head, funning or not, that would have gotten punched in the face! Like posting AMD stats in the Intel forums, some things you just dont do.

    You dont point a gun at someone unless your are willing pull the trigger. Maybe in your case she was.

    I know the feeling, my wife is taking driving lesson! I should have never bought the 135mph, 0-60mph in 8.5sec VW. Anybody know where I can get one of those really big dumptruck tires cheap, so a can put my car on the inside to protect it from impacts!

    nn_step & K404

    I accidently pressed the "report" button on one of your posts, and I don't remember which one. I pressed the "reset fields" button right after, but I don't know if the report has been sent or not. Should I contact an admin or moderator, or will they contact me if the report has been sent ..or? :S

    ..and all I wanted was to thank you nn_step for the inspirational post, about the gift that your family bought your wife >_<

    One of those tools that snips the end of a cigar might have been better.
    A gun pointed at you brings one kind of fear but one of those cigar snippers pointed at you brings a much more primal fear and REALLY gets your attention!

    My dear, cigars are unhealthy, how about a little petit carrot-cutter like this one? It's so small, what harm can it do?



    ..it's 4:09am here, nighty night ..I'm gonna take off my wigs and hug my pillow and snore without brushing my teeths! Goodnighty night <3

    today I attempted to give my wife a slight upgrade. Aka replace her 15 inch monitor with a 28 inch monitor/tv and she throws a fit because she doesn't like it because it doesn't feel right.
