xmas shopping

[69.5CUDA]

i must admit i generaly hate this time of year...especialy when the funds are low..say ohhh about 8-10 years ago it was not uncommon for us to litteraly blow about 500$ per person ..now its about 100$...thus generaly takeing the "fun" out of the season...however with a little creativeness i managed to score not 1 but 2 32+ inch tv's with pip and a whole slew of other goodys..sure there used but there not to old less than 5 years..for a sum of 50$ off ebay LOL gotta love "will not ship" since they were local....

anyway we lost our 27 inch in the bedroom around the begining of the year and have been on a 19..wifes going to be happy as hell to have a big tv again...moms been stuck on a 19 as well..so there each getting one....now for the fun part...mom gets out of the house at most once a week due to still being 90% stuck in bed...wife also almost never leaves.....how in the hell do i bring the sets in the house?!?!??!...bringing "moms in while wife is at a 1hour apt....now to figure out how in the hell to get the other one in the house without eitherof them knowing...mom knows the tv i brought in is for the wife....but its actualy for mom since the other unit weights about twice as much and has a few more functions......i either need to find someone to store it or find a sneeky way to get it in here:hmmm:...thankfully the minivans rear windos are double tinted and damn neer imposible to see in short of sticking your face to the glass...wife walked by none the wiser LOL

bah must retype..board ate my post

anyway wife has walked past the minivan twice..even drew a lil smily in dust on it and never saw a thing...god i love tint..anyway i think ive come up with a partial solution...wrap the tv in the livving room and wrap a remote...thus haveing a gift for each of them but not needing to get the unit in the house.....now i just need to find a place for it befor mom wants out of the house cause well....ill need the minivan for it...im thinking put it in the shop for now and when mom and wife go to the mall to look around i can "forget" something here and home and drag it into the house and hide it

 

[Fishy]

Why does that sound familiar? Didn't we employ that very same tactic once before?? :hmmm::hmmm:

 

[BootHead]

not 'zactly top shelf, behind the hats, of the coat closet eh?

Do you trust anyone enough to plant them if you took "your girls" out for dinner with all the bucks you saved. but duhhhhh the one is in the van..

 

[dodgedifferent2]

set it on the tv stand when they are gone and deny the whole thing.....

umm now to get them gone .... day at the spa?

GOT AN IDEA

:Fresh Meds: put one in moms house and tell her it is for the wife--- then put the other one in your house and tell your wife it,s for mom -- AND THEN TELL EACH ONE NOT TO SAY ANYTHING----IT WORKED FOR ME AND THE STEREOS---------hahahaha--------ps --if itdon,t work this year don,t do it again---hahaha:bwuhaha: --it,s easy, you,ve fooled them before - why are you afraid to do it now --GO DO IT -LOL:doh: ----if it works i,ll take the credit thankyou:hmmm: ----ORVIL:giggedy: :bwuhaha:

I'm pretty sure 69.5's mom lives with them... so that idea's shot to hell.

What about when everybody's asleep? You'd have to find a dolly if you wanted to keep everything quiet.

You'd have to find a dolly if you wanted to keep everything quiet.

I envision 69.5 putting one of these in his pocket to carry it!

He hauled a transmission up his driveway with his bare hands.

getting them out of the house is almost a must lol...tv still in the minivan

as for mom she is still in a hospital bed in the living room...so uhh yeah and shes the lite'est sleeper ive ever seen...fishy boy can agree to that lol

as for my strength yeah i loaded the TV's by myself..and ive loaded countless assembled engines without use of lifts..i blame my mother lol..when i was 13(1988) she got into her disability...if i needed to move her or take her somewhere i was more or less on my own..180LBS of dead weight is hell...i quickly adapted ...as i told fishy once..never think about it first and you can lift it...

In a dead sleep she wakes up if a fleas farts at 50 paces from the room:wtf:

...as i told fishy once..never think about it first and you can lift it...

'Tis true! until you lift wrong JUST once! :doh:Think I did that on a fully assembled 727 with bellhousing intact.
