    Man I BLEW it!

    When I got the 1095 I told my wife I wanted the RSP 1098 too, yada yada yada. I was talking to her the other day and I keep teasing her saying I ordered it and it should be here anyday, etc. Well, I did that again, and this time I REALLY played it like I did, she was like "NO you DIDN'T!", etc etc, finally I gave in and said no, I didn't, and I don't want it anyways, I want to see what CES has to show for new products before I get it. So then she says!!!! "Well there goes your Christmas present then" I dumped in my pants at that point, I said "What!, what do you mean??????" She was planning to order the 1098 for me for Christmas as a present, MY GOD I'M AN IDIOT!!!!! :cry:

    That would have been the BIGGEST shock/surprise and most wonderful Christmas present I have ever got from her. I asked her how she would have gotten the hookup that I can get on them, she said she was going to look in my emails, etc to find the guy. I told her to get it anyways, she says "Nope, it's not a suprise anymore"

    What a WONDERFUL wife to even think of getting that for me. I can't believe I shot myself in the foot like that. ops: Oh well, I just have to order it myself :B

      You got that right I would have NEVER guessed her to do that, ESPECIALLY on the price of one of the 1098's.

        Man, I'm crying right now. Big, bulbous tears too.

        On the other hand, what a wife!!!

        Give her a hug from all of us. She belongs in the wife hall-of-fame.

          She certainly sounds like a jewel! I am fortunate that I too have a wife who supports/enjoys my hobby and lets me do as I please (well almost...since the SVS PB2+, which she calls the coffin, arrived she has taken more interest in the way my new acquisitions are going to impact the room. However, the best I have ever seen out of her is a DVD (a disc not a player...lol)

            Whats impressive is that she was going to order the correct piece.You must have drilled 1098,1098,1098 into her.My wife would never buy audio equipment for me...she sees only the boxes and responds ''more toys''.Recently, she asked what was on my Christmas list?...a Paradigm servo 15..I answered."You buy it and I'll put a bow on it" she answered.Works for us....fortunately,it will have a happy home downstairs because if it was going upstairs...size would be a problem.

                Keith - thanks for the tears buddy It sucks that I did that to her, what a gift, she can NEVER surprise me with gifts too, I guess them everytime, this would have NEVER been in my mind for a second.

                Jerry - Thanks dude, she is the best!! It's not all about me though, she wants fake boobs, so I get the 1098, she gets boobs, works for me both ways hehe
                She never buys me audio gear, I get deals on things, so she wouldn't know what to do to not pay retail, I can't believe this still!!

                H - Oh yeah I drilled that 1098, I have shown her every picture I can find of the thing too, she REALLY REALLY likes it, she likes the color and the display, not too fond of the price, but eh, you get what you pay for. All I talk about is 1098 this, 1098 that, etc All she talks about is boobs this, boobs that, aren't I lucky :P hehe

                Azeke - I told her to order it anyways, she doesn't want to now, no surprise Maybe she is pulling some reverse psychology on me now.... Sweet!

                      Still Possible !

                      Just think, maybe she will still surprise you! You think you aren't getting it and she gets it knowing you think you won't! Less health risk than fake boobs too! : :W

                                Today is the birthday of American jazz legend Billie Holiday, born Eleanora Fagan in Philadelphia (1915).

                                Had a few friends over for Christmas last night. CamBot, Gypsy, Tom Servo, Crow… and (in this case) Mike. I love this program, spent many a “relaxing” few hours watching MST3k back in the day. Love it or hate it, I love it. I got MST3k Volume one on DVD for Christmas.

                                She's red headed, fair skinned, beautiful, and talented, and Julliard trained. Al Pacino once requested her for a part in a play he was doing, after she was recommended by someone, and she was on her way... She thinks she's a wallflower, likes to blend in a room, not stand out. That has to be pretty...
