I hesitate to put the kids birthday on anything like that, just a little superstition I picked up from my friends at the tattoo shop.
This is interesting. How bout initials and birth stone?? Because regardless of the fact that I never heard of this superstition now I have and it will be stuck in my head

Names are of course fine as are birthstones and such, so do that if you are so inclined. I have Maxwell tattooed on my forearm, not a portrait, his name, I said to my tattoo artist that I think I want his DOB underneath his name. He responded pretty quickly, "I don't do birth dates man." So I ask why. He tells me that he knows that every beginning will eventually have an ending but, why beg the question? So in the tattoo world, at least for those that really get into that stuff, inked birth dates are essentially begging for an early death.

No worries. That one went over better than pretty much any other jewelry I've ever bought my wife. And it doesn't need to be very expensive at all. I'll bet that she ends up wearing it all the time so I'd go "durable" over "frilly" if that makes any sense.

I've got to come up with something similar this year (first mother's day since Ian was born). Although I thought about a second charm for her necklace, I think she'd rather have something different that's unique to him.

My dealership is located amongst several other dealerships, the Meadows Music Theatre(concert season is a shit show), Hartfords Main Post Office, A Jail!, methedone clinic, strip club and two "adult stores"

Two years ago when DMB was in town a young couple was "making love" behind some bushes on our lot, in broad daylight. We also own a lot that we charge for parking. The guy that runs that has found couples on more than one occasion "making love" in the Porto Potty.

This is so true. For a long time, I've been a proponent that women's pants should be sized the same way as men's pants, by waist size and length. I've noticed that some companies are starting to do this now. I think they shied away from it because it's damaging to some women's egos to see a size 30 on her pants or whatever. But really, it's better than the arbitrary numbering system currently in place. And we might all end up with clothes that fit us better if we shop by our true size.

This will avoid awkward situations like I had on Christmas morning when my husband insisted that I wear a large and bought me a size large shirt. (I wear a small or sometimes X-small in some cases.)

This happens to me all the time with my Dad especially. I'm a big girl but I used to be bigger. About 7 years ago, I lost about 70 lbs and dropped 3 dress sizes. My father is all about getting me t-shirts from my alma mater and for years after I shrunk continued to buy them in XXL (which would've have been too big even if I hadn't lost weight). They were practically minidresses on me. It was only this past Christmas that he remembered to get a L instead of XXL and even then after I opened it he was skeptical - "I hope it fits." Yeesh.

He sat in that throne at Bonnaroo during a North Mississippi Allstars set and just yelled into the microphone the whole time! Hilarious. Like every 20 seconds in the recording you can hear him say, "yeah" or "all right" emphatically. Awesome.

My suggestion is that if you're going to buy clothes for your wife, you peek at her sizes in her closet before making any purchases.

I'm sure I'll do fine, but women's clothes sizing is so strange to me. Especially jeans.

And everything seems to be different. A medium here might be a small over here.

I don't. Have never really explored distilling since I'm not much of a liquor / booze guy. My go to homebrew shop used to sell a small stainless still used for "essential oils" and what not but of course could be used for spirits.

I did a website check and they no longer carry it apparently.

I'm sure you guys will do your homework but be careful when distilling spirits.

My suggestion is that if you're going to buy clothes for your wife, you peek at her sizes in her closet before making any purchases. This will avoid awkward situations like I had on Christmas morning when my husband insisted that I wear a large and bought me a size large shirt. (I wear a small or sometimes X-small in some cases.)

@JayDubya - last night part of the dream I had was that you worked in VT near where I live. You commuted from Iowa - flight and a ride everyday.

The weird thing was that you did this commute to work at a clothes boutique.

Paul's Boutique no doubt.

I wouldn't mind having a slightly longer commute than I do now, would give me more solo music time. Current commute is 1.81 miles.

GM.N! I'M Wrecked after a long night of work. But I feel great. I just wanted to chime in on the Mother's Day gifts. Flowers and a card. Nothing too fancy is really needed. Just something to let Mom know you're thinking of her. If you can pull off a visit/dinner, even better. Mom doesn't need/want expensive gifts to know you love her. With moms, it truly is the thought that counts (ewww, cheese fest in that comment). With all that said, I'm off to bed. Have a good day, clowns. Peace.

I'm going to go with.....not drugs?

Actually, Mother's Day shopping is tough. My wife is a "pick out her own jewelry" type of girl - so that's out. Not sure what I'm going to get. Thinking of taking a stroll through the mall with the kids for inspiration. What IS cool is that Quinn is old enough this year to actually try and pick out something for her mom by herself (in addition to the "hey look what I made" stuff from school), which I think will be fun.

I don't like to think about pregnant women abusing their unborn children. That just makes me sick.

My mom makes Mother's Day (which is always the same weekend as her birthday - double whammy) easy for me. We go out for dinner and I take her shopping so she can pick out clothes or shoes or whatever she wants. We spend the time together and she gets cool stuff.

Raining like crazy here, this wasn't supposed to start til tomorrow. Oh well. I did follow @Phlat_Brim_Kid's single vote and split wood for a while last night, that doesn't look like its gonna happen again for a few days.

Then went to this newish little wine bar in Waterbury with a friend, that was a good time. And got into some Junta vinyl after that. As advertised. Wow.

Already caught like 4 unintentional double-entendres this morning between radio and in-person. Including one woman asking be to show her where the back door is. Gonna be that kinda day I guess.

Good morning all! Hope with the kiddos today (in-service day). Very rainy and yucky day to have to entertain children for an entire day, but we will figure something out. Possibly some Mother's Day shopping. Possibly a trip to the frame store. I have SBIXx2, NYE, Camden '11 (and a few others that I'm in less of a rush to get done) to get on the walls.

Sorry @GrooveHolmes, congrats @Jayem. Really good game last night. I thought the Caps were in trouble when NY tied it up. Wicked shot by Ovie. Congrats to @Phlat_Brim_kid as well. Flyers West (I mean LA) looks really good.
