Art,
I was trying to be "Kind". But of course, you are absolutely correct.
What's a man to do? I explained to my wife one year that because I can
never please her with anything I get her, I would get her nothing that

Oh Well!

P.S. And never.... no never... buy kitchen appliances as gifts for a

with gifts at all!!!
