it's finally come down to it.  She now claims her engagement ring is too small -- damn QVC and HSN.

Just had our 4th anniversary 2 weeks ago.  Bought her a gold necklace...she loved it.  Broke 2 days later, returned it and got money back (since it was the last of its kind).  Now she wants me to use the money to buy an elliptical trainer (like a cross country skiing machine?) so that I can drop 50 or a 100 pounds.  I guess a thinner me will look better on her arm than gold on her neck (LOL).

I bought one last year, they are great - much better than a treadmill or stationary bike.  But I recommend that you go for one of the higher quality models.  They aren't cheap but everyone I know who bought a cheapo model has regretted it because they quickly broke.  Personally, I recommend one of the Precor brand models, also LifeFitness.

The 'upside' benefit of eliptical trainers is what they will do for your lady's 'backside'.

That's too funny!

I have two words for you: Synthetic Diamonds.

Undetectable for the real thing, and hundreds of dollars cheaper. They even cut glass.

About five issues ago, Wired magazine did a cover story on them, incuding listing the two guys who are heading up companies to produce them. One of the guys is actually "growing" diamonds (sort of like how they culture pearls... or the same general idea) meaning that they really are diamonds -- just man-made.

FWIW.

....and you bought her a real one.  Thanks for the warning, we'll put a block on those channels.
