I say run with it...and fast. You even have a witness.

I do the same to him when my purchases arrive, and he most likely feels the same way I did (yeah okay, can I go back to my plants/bits now depending on which ones of us is doing the lookit dance).

I never knew that dance had a name....

JUST DO IT.
DO IT NOW!!!
You would only disappoint her if you didn't buy a bunch of new orchids!!! And you'd not want to do that would you??

Well it turns out it was maybe a amber light, when I got back to the friends and mdW came out and saw 8 new orchids on back seat it was basicaly dead silence for 237 mile, which on some occasions is a good thing unfortantetly this was not one of those times.

That's not a good sign. Did you have to sleep with one eye open, just in case, or did you get sent to the greenhouse to think about what you did...

Don't forget the passion you have for your wife. Orchids can be replaced. Orchids can wait. Still, it was a tricky situation.

I'm so sorry that happened for you, Bob. Sometimes women are hard to read, trust me, I'm one of them. I surprise myself constantly!

I agree....we aren't easy to read! Heck, I can hardly figure myself out some days!

Did you get her anything or think of anything to get her? I really think it would help.....but being that females are hard to read...be prepared to have whatever it is you get her thrown at you possibly depending on how pissed she as at you....just a cautionary statement is all. Sorry it didn't go over so well!

I sense some pampering of the lady is in order. Dinner? Flowers (uh, other than orchids.....), some little nick-nak (Bling?)
A good ol fashioned tear producing Hallmark card (That's says you're sorry and still love her or something to that effect......) ???
Good luck!!
