Interesting email from Penn State

Feb 10, 2006 10 Replies

When I checked my email this morning, I was sort of confused by one from "orders at Penn State Ind. ....



I just put in a couple of orders from Lee Valley, but haven't ordered from PSI in a while...



As I was about to open it, my wife looked up from her computer and said "Don't open that one!"



Turns out that she ordered something from PSI for me as a Valentine's present and used my computer because I'm logged in there, have the bookmark on my browser, etc... lol



later in the morning, I get a call from PSI asking about the "expedited shipping" that I requested... I told her what was up and gave her my wife's cell number..



I know that I could go to PSI and check "my" order, but that would take the fun out of it.... lol Mac

Mac Christmas before last my wife asks me what I would like. A belt/disk sander would be nice I reply. What's that she asks and I try to explain. The Canadian Tire flyer came in the junk stuff a week or two later and there was a belt disk sander on sale at half price. When I showed it to my wife saying that this was a belt disk sander it turned out she had one in the car trunk. Canadian Tire gave us the difference and my Christmas budget got larger. A week later the CT flyer had a mini lathe in it on half price sale. Now that's cool I told my wife. She started to laugh since it turned out the twin was in the car trunk. CT gave us back the difference. Not a lot of surprise but a good laugh. O, my wife got me to carry the boxes out of the car.

I went through a similar exercise. Early one January, my birthday month, I was wound up about buying a garage door opener and she had to tell me she had one on order from Sears for my birthday. The following Christmas we went through the same exercise regarding a drill press from Cdn Tire. I am now under strict orders not to buy anything from Nov1 thru Jan. billh

A couple years ago mine bought me a Delta MidiLathe, it arrived before Christmas and was dropped on the sidwalk by the shop. When she saw it, she remarked she had no idea how large it would be, and, oh, by-the-way, Marry Christmas Although that wasn't quite as funny as us buying each-other the same card for our anniversary, like we did last year.

Derrell... besides showing that you have a very nice wife, it demonstrates the essence of a good relationship... mind reading...*g*

As my bride and I say, GMTA... (great minds think alike) Mac

Darrell, Sounds like you need to check that car trunk every few weeks !!

Ken Last time I checked the trunk, there was garbage to clean out. In the words of my wife, "you found it you clean it." Hey, it was worth a try.

Yep, Some days chicken; other days feathers. ( :-)

and it's really hard to stuff the genie back into the bottle/trunk.. (boot?) Mac
