ThaineRe: World's Best Girlfriend
Mine served me breakfast in bed
Seems I broke my left leg Tuesday night
and this was my first morning back from the hospital. Since she hasn't shot my cranky a$$
I am really greatful and glad to have a lady that stands beside me during times like this. She did the same 6 years ago when my left knee was smashed in a car/motor cycle accident.

MACI know without a doubt that I have the world's greatest girlfriend. This Christmas morning she proved it again. She gave me the following:
1) A handmade cherry wood tool box full of new tools.
2) A new CD player for the truck and a bunch of Country Western CD's.
3) A bunch of new hunting clothes.
4) DVD's of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour #2 and seperate DVD's of Larry the Cable Guy, Ron White, Bill Engvall, and Jeff Foxworthy.
5) A new CZ 550 American in 9.3x62 for any upcoming safaris.
It's official. She's the best and I'm keeping her!!!!!
Merry Christmas all.

jbderunzMine bought me a pull over and a shirt my son has already snapped. She�ll never buy me a rifle. A couple of months ago she was wild discovering I am owning 9 rifles. Poor thing, I have 12.
I wanted to sell some but she was dead against. Especially concerning the Tiger rifle and the Elephant rifle. They look quite the same and they were dubbed so because of their (old) boxes of ammo.
BTW guess what are these rifles?

cr500Jeeze. And all mine gave me was a cold shoulder ,a piece of her mind, and withering stare?

D HunterHow about dress pants and a dress jacket. Jeeze. I asked for a new blaze vest as the old 3footx 4foot orange serape that I have been using is just plain coming unraveled. No matter I called Cabelas yesterday.

Isn't there a contradiction here between your message and your signature line? Or does your girlfriend somehow get punished for giving you the Krieghoff? (The possibilities here are intriguing, but I'm not going to open that door!)
28 December 2004, 04:00
foxfireI never quite thought of it that way, but I guess she's been very bad.
I must go home now and punish her properly.

Cold BoreI have HAD probably three or four of the world's best girlfriends, "back in the day".
Now, I have a wife that beats them all. She just rolls her eyes any time I pick up a new rifle/shotgun/pistol. She got over questioning it long ago. She has long since lost track of what new "additions" come in, and frankly doesn't care. No huff, no gruff. She has actually claimed a few of the "pretty" ones for herself.
In exchange, I never question her "shopping trips".
It's an ideal situation!

Wise1Mine added a substantial amount to the "Safari Account" she opened for me on my birthday. It's the perfect gift. She never has to think about what to get me, she just dumps some cash into the account and we are one day closer to Africa.

jeffeossoMine
nursed me through a broken back, and didn't make this one time painter feel like a failure
gave me three wonderful children.. okay, 2.5, but the other .5 is still a keeper
thought me to love someone other than myself
gave me my first "other than dad or me built" custom rifle AND it was a 257 roberts AND it's a springfield AND it;s the most accurate hunting rifle I own
encouraged me to buy/build my shop
made me make HER a stock duplication machine
wants to take checkering classes this summer
and kisses this ole ugly bastard good night every night and tells me she loves me at least 10 times a day.....
though she just giggles at the cost of doubles....

CanuckI guess I wouldn't be much of a boyfriend if I didn't take the time to give my girlfriend her props, so here goes...
The Christmas tree was pretty bare this year but gifts aren't always the measure for world ranking in the girlfriend division (as evidenced by a number of other posts above!
).
My girl finally followed me this past July to what she considers to be a god-forsaken land, 1300 kms from her two sons that mean the world to her. She even gave up a good job and the financial freedom that goes with it too. And to top it all off she has even supported my selfish quest to hunt cape buffalo by agreeing to let me commit 6 months take home pay to a 2 buff hunt in Tanz in 2006! That puts all of her dreams on hold for about five years but she knows how much this trip means to me and didn't even blink when I timidly proposed the idea.
I don't see how I could do much better.
Cheers,
Canuck
