Get her a new camera.

Are you kidding? She'll turn out to be a better photographer than I
am.

Can you push back Christmas, too? I can't figure out what to get my
wife.


I've got a double problem. We were married on Christmas day. But, being
Jewish, I have the luxury of skipping the Christmas portion. Where I do
have a problem is her birthday, which falls around Mother's day. One
year I bought her a pair of earrings. I gave her one on Mother's day. At
first she was excited when she saw a jewelry box. When she opened it up
and there was only one earring inside........ Let's just say she was a
good sport when I explained that she was getting only one earring on
Mother's day and I would give her the other on her birthday.


My wife's birthday is December 28, so she used to get nothing but
after-Christmas sale items. Birthday gifts are more important to her
than Christmas presents. As the youngest of 8 from a working-class
family, her birthday was often overlooked when she was a child.
Christmas gifts were supposed to be Christmas *and* birthday.

My birthday is May 11, and often falls on Mother's Day.

AFAIK you are not anyone's mother, any more than I am.
that Is not to say I have not been called a mother ----, from time to time.

Tony, whatever you do, don't buy her a Lexus because she'll say:
"You spent OUR money on a stupid car without even consulting me?"

Diamonds.

Diamonds!
I am sitting with enough diamonds which belonged to my mother and my
wife to provide me with a pair of D3s and a D3x, with a bag of pro
lenses to compliment them. Just try to sell them and recover a fraction
of what was paid for them. They are beautiful, bright, shiny rocks, and
I would look silly wearing them.

So here is something Tony might consider. I would need $22,000, but I
am very willing to negotiate. This belonged to my mother, and it
clashes with my flashy teeth.

....and these things are tough to photograph!
Diamonds. What a racket!

Any blind person with a pinhole camera is already a better photographer
than you.

Ger her a husband who knows what to get his wife.

After 45+ years of marriage, gift-giving becomes difficult. In the
early days, we did without special things until birthdays and
Christmas. Now, she buys things as she wants them.

Jewelry has been suggested, but my wife is really not a jewelry
person. She wears certain items that I purchased for her when they
were special gifts, but she has more baubles than she ever gets around
to wearing. She's not a perfume person, either.

I'll find something, but it will be more along the line of a token
item than a traditional gift item. Or, something like a pair of
tickets to see The Blue Man Group or Cirque du Soleil.

How 'bout a cruise on a certain NCL ship that has a full time blue man
group aboard?

Yeah, but I know nothing about cruises. We did a 3-dayer to the
Bahamas once, but it wasn't a real cruise.

I don't know anyone who knows anything about cruises. Too bad there's
no one here that does. We've got a rare moth consulting expert, but
no cruise guru.

There is no telling what you would find yourself doing on the Disney
Cruise liner, "The Floating Mickey" on an Alaska "Blue Skies Cruise"!

I'm sure if this were X-posted to alt.photography that phantom cruise
guru might step down from the mountain and reveal himself.

He might be able to provide a sign to help direct you.

I don't do cruises, but lots of my friends have, and my music friends
sometimes work on them.

An older friend broke his leg really really badly in Europe, and was stuck
for a way to get back to the US. For the price of a first class airplane
ticket (which would still have been not really possible with his leg in the
full-length cast), he flew his daughter over and the two of them took a
cruise ship back to the states. He reports that it was a blast. They work
really hard to keep you entertained, and make their money on alcohol sales.
If you don't drink, you save money, and if you do, you'll enjoy the trip
whatever.

I'm rather amused that cruise ships are back. They were a thing of the
ancient past for the for the first 2/3 of my life. I suppose if one were a
raving commie, or had even the slightest amount of social consciousness, one
would see them for the bourgeois abomination they really are.

David, this is one of those times when ignorance is bliss, and to
explain further would remove the full impact of discovery.

And sometimes they are just the thing one wants to do. Last year we went
to Alaska and This year will be in the opposite direction, the Panama
Canal. Most who know me think I'm to type A for a cruise, but I did
enjoy the last and am willing to go again.
