Seems about this time of year, those commercials for products that cost lots of bucks, begin to roll again. The ever popular jewelry commercials with diamonds are around almost all year, but this time of the year, they really push those diamonds. Girls, don't you ever get tired of diamonds? But the ones that get me the most are those people who can run out and by their spouse, child or friend a brand new car. I especially like that one where the wife gives her hubby a new Jaguar. I asked the Mrs if she would ever do that for me and I can't tell you what she said to me! But she did say that another diamond would be appreciated. Sheesh, where does it end. At least she isn't wanting another new car...for the time being anyway!:eek:
 
I think they are wasting their advertising dollars.........which we pay for in the long run.:(
 
For what? I don't buy any of those high dollar cars. Wish I could, but I don't and the diamonds...maybe I can look for something in the way of a fake? :rolleyes: But don't tell the Mrs. I can use the spare cash for a new set of golf clubs or something like that! :)
 
Hmmmm....someone else not mentioning any names TWF oops has also asked for 2 years now if he will be getting the jag. He is still waiting and will keep waiting I suppose..unless he straps a mattress to his back :p

Oh boy, I was tempted there..........but no comment on the mattress.:ROFLMFAO:
 
I guess TWF is one of the lucky ones. I am not a big jewerly person. I like to work in the yard to much and it would just get ruined. And who wants something they leave sit in a box.

I told him I could tape the episodes of Jag, he says that won't work.
 
I'm tellin ya...it's a sad day when a man asks for the same two gifts every year and can't ever get either one of them. All I want is a Jaguar and a harem. What's so tough about that? :ROFLMFAO:

I'm tellin' ya buddy, you got a pretty unreasonable woman on your hands. Those sound like pretty reasonable requests to me. The second one would save her quite a bit of work too. Imagine the time that could save on chores like dishwashing, laundry...
 
I don't have one diamond to my name, and could care less. The hubby doesn't care about the Jag, either.

Those commercials are playing to deaf ears down here.

If one had a reasonable man on her hands she would have all kinds of time because HE would do all the dishwashing, laundry and such.:p
 
Reminds me of the old joke where a wife keeps asking for a Jaguar. After a few years the husband buys her a Jaguar and wouldn't you know it, the damn thing ate her.

I've never been able to understand the deal with women and Jewerly, but then again my wife doesn't understand why I want all this racing stuff. Have found that I can make a decient trade. Spend a lot of money on racing, buy her some jewerly then she's not mad and we're both happy. Works good. I can spend $2000 on motor parts, buy her a $200 diamond and I don't get hit with the fry pan.

Careful there...HE already does all the cooking. Biting the hand that feeds and all that...:p
 
I bought my own diamonds, don't really like the jag. I drive a mercury. Those commercials are rediculous. It doesn't happen that way in real life. However, if someone would want to give me a diamond or a nice car, please feel free. I won't hurt your feeloings by refusing the gift.:p

I knew there was a woman out there who wouldn't pass up a diamond. Listen to this...while I like to go to computer/tech shows, the Mrs wants to go to gem shows. When I went to one with her, I ended up buying her a saphire. Don't really understand what happened there. Must have been hypnotized or something. :eek:
 
I have several diamonds, but nothing extravagant. It's my birthstone (April) and I think they are pretty. Give me a H2, and you can keep the Jag.:D
 
When I was young, I went for all those sporty type cars. Even had a '72 Porche 914 that I outran the cops with (you know how it is when you're young!) But today, being a bit older, I would actually prefer something in the line of a Caddy or Lincoln. Or a Mercedez or a posh BMW. You know, something that makes me looks like a rich retired bastard. :) Hey, I'd even wear white shoes if that's what it takes. :D
