So, while discussing holiday gifts, my wife said she had the "perfect" gift for me. The way she said it implied (to me) something, uh, a bit "racy". According to my sons, it ACTUALLY means a new soldering iron. That's good too....

Either way, don't get burned...

It's great that many of us here have supportive spouses/significant partners that aid and abed our CBG passions. Just remember, reciprocating the soldering iron gift with a kitchen appliance or new vacuum cleaner could completely erase the potential for a "racy" gift on your birthday or anniversary.

Soooo...what I think Scott is saying is that showing up at the door with a pizza box with a hole in the middle wouldn't be a good idea, then...

I nearly spit my coffee on the monitor when I read this...so true.

As long as I don't lock myself out!

A hole in a pizza box? Why, back in my day, we had to take a girl to a movie, and we had to custom cut a hole in the bottom of a popcorn tub. I guess the risk of hot butter wasn't any worse than hot mozzarella and pepperoni, though. Are we still talking about soldering irons? Hey, get off my lawn!

;-)

Maybe you can make a piece of jewelry or something out of copper wire with it as a gift back?
