[hivemind]the insanity of sleep deprived burnination

[Silver Moon]

News to me, I don't always get on on the weekends.

Previous Hivemind Thread, Post #349

It will also be listed in the next "Hiver Hall of Fame" post, as the prior one only went to last Friday. I'm just waiting on that until I can think of a good bio to steal to use for Envel, as he doesn't have one listed yet (johnselmek doesn't have one yet either).

Still waiting for other nominations. If I don't have any by the morning we will have to give it to either PirateCat or Kriskrafts by default.

No, but Tallok keeps bringing it up so we have to delay that as long as possible to annoy him.

Not a bad idea, but it would have to be someone who logs in fairly regularly, otherwise the day could pass without them knowing about it (heck, you missed it and you're one of the top posters on both boards.)

Looking over at the Total Postcount on Randomling's House, two of the Top Ten 10 Posters haven't been honored with the title yet. So Kaiyosama will be named for Thursday and Aggemam for Friday.

Evening there, folks. Well, I did it again. Managed to get myself in the doghouse, and I don't even understand why. The wife bought me FotR on DVD for Christmas, I knew this months ago when she ordered it. So, when my mom called last month and asked what I wanted, I told her I'd like to have TT on DVD to go with it. Well, my mom bought it for me and when it arrived last night my wife got all upset about it. Turns out she had bought me that as well, without me knowing. So now she's mad that I've ruined Christmas by having my mom buy me the gift that she wanted to get me. I'm having trouble grasping the logic of that one, frankly, as my wife is real big on wanting to know what she's getting for Christmas as soon as it enters the house. She wants the Bad Boys II dvd and said she was going to buy it when it came out. I told her no, that I was planning on getting it for her and she could wait til Christmas. She wasn't too happy about that, but reluctantly agreed since she now knows she's going to get it. Am I missing something or is she overreacting to the situation?

 

[Crothian]

That's a toughy. It's simple to say from here she's over reacting. But at the same time it might be that you're hard to buy for and she thought she had a good gift for you and was excited to give it to you. Then when she saw that your mom had gotten it for you and already gived it to you she felt hurt.

 

[Dungannon]

On the upside, at least for me, she took back the copy of TT she bought and got me Pirates of the Carribbean.

 

[Steve Jung]

She probably wanted to see the look on your face when you opened it, expecting just Fellowship. Does she know that you know she bought Pirates? Or can you feign surprise?

 

[Dungannon]

She knows. When she got back from the store today I asked her what she bought and she showed me. If she'd told me it was another present for me, I wouldn't have pushed the issue.
