O.o. sounds like you might need to do some "yard work" around the time UPS runs so you can catch him on the street. :D

ocgmj 11-03-2010 06:00 AM

I can see MD waiting in the bushes to pounce on the UPS guy :rofl:

I'm hoping she's planning on getting her hair done or something. Problem is, UPS comes after dark now so yardwork would be a tuff one ..... gonna need a lot of luck Friday dudes... pray for me :rofl:

Chuchnit 11-03-2010 06:04 AM

If you have a wellness / beauty salon near you buy her like a small wellness package and tell here how much you love here for doing what ever she is doing. :D Send her on her way and embrace the UPS dood happily! :thumbsup: :D

Me neither :ohcrap: And the spa things a great idea except she wouldn't do cause we're saving money now that I'm unemployed :ohcrap::ohcrap:

My only hope is the fact that I've gotten to know the UPS guy. If I can intercept today or tomorrow and ask him to call my cell phone, I can make an excuse and meet him down the block :D Leave the package in the car until she goes to bed and then sneak it into the basement... could work ... :muaha: but then again, my probable near term future will be
:owned:
:kneelsuckers:

:rofl:

I WILL survive.. don't know how, but I"ll work it out ..... somehow:sorry:

Splave 11-03-2010 06:44 AM

She will find out and you will be screwed either way, I would tell her what is she going to do? You got a right hand dont ya?

MaadDaawg 11-03-2010 07:00 AM

You mean I should punch her out :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

ahhh, you are still young qui chang, and as of yet unmarried. Do not let the life you live with your girlfriend deceive you into believing life with her as a wife will be the same grasshopper. Confusious say, girlfriend like honey, wife like wild angry bee.

Master Po

Best to deceive and live another day, than to be honest and die like the dog that you are :rofl:

besides, I got so many video cards, once I get it into the man cave I'm home free, it's that 50 to 75 feet to get there that's loaded with minefields :hand:

Although I used that when the R3E arrived and got away with it, I have so many motherboards and video cards there's no reason she'd have to doubt it :rolf: That's my story and I'm stickin to it :thumbsup:

FACE 11-03-2010 03:12 PM

Just hide the guns, knives, and blunt tools that are in the house.... When it arrives and she asks what it is tell her, pause, and say "shouldn't you be in the kitchen? ...kinda craving a sammich."

Is the couch comfy? :laughing:

DrNip 11-03-2010 03:40 PM

Here is an excuse I have used, friend is shipping me a gpu to test or cpu to play with. Has worked everytime I used it. ;)

That works if your friend is named Newegg.

Used it, and it would work until the next day when she looked through the transaction records... the ex worked for a credit union and used to be able to see everything I did in real time.... :thumbdown:

DrNip 11-03-2010 03:50 PM

Thats were I differ I guess. We both have our own checking accounts but share a savings account. We don't look at each others checking accounts. Just the way it is.

You obviously don't know my wife dude :rofl:

Best yet, I'm starting an e-bay business and this is stock for my kickoff dear :D I LIKE THAT ONE :)

DrNip 11-03-2010 03:52 PM

Or you could pull the, what the I didn't order that! Bench it and ship it back and demand a refund. Dunno, maybe it will work and then again maybe it won't.

Oh I never looked at her accounts, but she has the power to look at anyone's account she wants. turns out it just wasn't illegal for her to pull any of mine up for no reason at all... lol. I would never share an account with anyone. The next woman shall not see my financial dealings, if I even decide to keep one around long enough to even warrant the asking.... :thumbsup:

MaadDaawg 11-03-2010 03:54 PM

Naw, I really am opening an e-bay business, so the stock part is eminently believable. :D

FACE 11-03-2010 04:00 PM

Tell her you bought it for her.... just like the Flintstones episode where Fred bought Wilma a bowling ball for her anniversary gift... cut for his fingers. rofl. classic.

Very smart. Now there is nothing wrong with opening a savings account on down the line with a lady but for heaven sakes, keep your checking account to yourself!

Patch 11-03-2010 04:13 PM

Good luck man. The ebay store thing sounds like the best bet.

Damn, I'm lucky. We share everything. Wife's pretty frugal and I balance the books.

We like playing a disapproval game about my hardware packages. Adds spice to the relationship. She doesn't really mind my toys as long as I actually use them. Only thing she really gets pissed about is when I blow money on crap that sits unused in the closet or the garage.

MaadDaawg 11-04-2010 05:58 AM

Actually, my wife's pretty good about these things too, but Im thinking my unemployment might result in a few more questions than before. Before she's ask what was in the box and I'd tell he ...nowwww.. not so sure she'd just walk away

GeorgeStorm 11-04-2010 06:20 AM

You saying that you think her knowing you bought it would end the marriage?? Or am I reading that wrong?
Honesty is always the best policy, and I believe that.

George, honesty IS the best policy, just not all the time :P You look young in your avatar so you're probably not married. In marriage, oftentimes honesty is the last thing to use to keep the marriage happy.

No, she wouldn't divorce me, I can do without the lecture that's all :rofl:

The second Vertex 2 came today and I've got the UPS guy hiding tomorrows delivery outside so I can sneak it in :muaha:

DOM 11-04-2010 01:59 PM

mine says shes going to leave me sometimes lmao but she get mad for everything i do or dont do so meh

but lieing does help ;)

sucks cuz im at work hen ups gets there so shes going to know no matter what

so md you going to put it under the juice or she how she clocks on air ?

GeorgeStorm 11-04-2010 02:13 PM

Yeah, I'm 19.
Meh I dunno, all I know is that lieing wouldn't go down well in my parents marriage.
I just hope you make it out alive ;)

MaadDaawg 11-04-2010 03:33 PM

meh, I'm almost 60 now and have lived through a lot more than this :D You have to understand the nature of a woman, she wants to be lied to so everything stays nice and happy. Put another way SHE CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH :rofl:

Might try it tri sli on air first and then strip em down and put pots on em :D

Patch 11-04-2010 03:54 PM

A good woman has your back and really makes the sun shine. But you gotta be someone worth being with, too. It's not good to hide the truth in a relationship.......with a few key exceptions.

Take the following quiz and try to decide whether truth is better than......avoiding the truth when she asks you:

1) Does this make me look fat?
2) This tastes better than your mother's, doesn't it?
3) I don't really care, but I'm curious.......how many women have you been with?
4) What's in that package?

Understanding the correct responses is very important for a healthy relationship. Trust me, she really DOESN'T want to hear the true answers to these questions. Even when she already knows them.

DOM 11-04-2010 04:29 PM

1. no you look good ;)
2.your foods the best honey
3.no comment lol but only you babe since we been together since HS
4. uh... someone from the team sent me it or i won it but that wont ever happen cuz rick wants it all :P
