I was reminded of this by a meme that was posted a couple of days ago - females that don't say what they want. Just fucking tell me, I am not a mind reader!
I'm a great gift purchaser. I'm near impossible to purchase for. It's so bad that my wife has selected some awesome presents only to second guess herself. I tell her it's easier to let me go through my process of longing, research, procrastination, inevitable purchase and severe buyers remorse. Easier for all involved.

@mariner4life fair call, some people never learn the difference between need and want
I want to learn the difference but I really don't need to.

Just go for the blow jobs (from the wife, not purchased, that could end badly). Works for me.

Not looking forward to those being a special occasion.

They aren't. It's a promise that can be called on at any time. It was a Chistmas present.

Yes. She wanted geese and ducks as well as the chickens and cat.
I remind her of this regularly and it makes me less of a GOM. Briefly.

Mrs Mariner is impossible to buy for. Two reasons:
She's fussy as fuck
She buys everything she wants.It's got to the point where she just buys shit and gives it to me to wrap. Or sends me the link
Fucking brilliant.
We don't but gifts for each other at all, for any occasion. It's great.
If I didn’t get gifts from the wife I think I’d have zero clothes.

Yeah, Mrs Meldrew is a bit like that too. But give each other links or suggestions so there's no chance of getting it wrong but always an element of surprise.
Only downside is there's one less opportunity to get seriously grumpy over a crap present.

Gosh, she's got nice eyes. hasn't she?
Now that I've noticed them, kinda scary. Not sure that putting anything else in her mouth would be wise...
Then again, could be well worth the risk.

So fuck you all.
Put my back out doing fuck all by by bending over in the garden this arvo.
Fuck YOU and fuck everybody. Am as grumpy as fuck and can barely stand up from a chair.
Don't really mean it and I love youse all .... but by fuck my back is crook ... and therefore I hate everyone and everything ...

"Resealable" packets of ham or cheese slices with a little corner tab you need to separate and pull up the top plastic film.
Someone should tell the twats who designed these things that normal people really don't have fingers as small as a 4 year-old's but the strength of a gorilla.

Hope it doesn't take too long to come right, but as long as Mrs Booboo or someone can get to the wine cellar for you, you should be OK.
You do trust her with the key, don't you?

@Victor-Meldrew amazing the therapeutic nature of a bottle of red.
Still stiff and sore but moving better.
