    Great gift, Chase. Is that ever nice, or what? Belated birthday greetings to your lovely lady!

    Thanks Mac

    Her birthday is on the 9th, so you're good to go...I will relay the sentiment.

    Cheers

    I was thinking something like this

    With a note that said something like "Since I can't be there to keep you warm maybe this will do."

    Oh, well, then, how about this?


    The Microhottie Microwave Hot Water Bottle in Quilted Royal Stewart Tartan.

    She'll love it.



    Best,

    A perfect idea, Rex!
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    good call, chase. i was going to suggest simply writing a heart-felt letter. i've done that on several occasions when i simply had no idea what to get someone special to me. sounds like you've got it sorted.

    thank you for your dedication that takes you so far away from your wife in support of all of us back here in the U.S.
    i have a brother who's a pilot in the army who served in the first gulf war and then in afghanistan. thank god for combat medics.

    Just one addition to what you have planned. A single red rose, won't be overly expensive, but says it all. (Been married for 50 years now, and that has always worked. It is truly the thought that counts.) Also send her our best wishes.
