So I've spent weeks trying to figure out a good gift for the wife. I finally decided on a new kitchen sink. The one we have is one of those cheap contractor grade sinks they put into new houses and is only 6" deep. The one I bought is 9" deep and would be much more efficient.

She's not into jewelry, and frilly little gifts like that. She enjoys practical gifts. I asked a bunch of females I know including the neighbors wife what they thought of the idea. Opinions seemed pretty positive, so I went for it. What do y'all think?
Good idea, something she can use!

Well, while it's a very nice gift, and I'm sure she'll love it, I feel one can do that at any time. I feel a gift should be personal. Something only for her, not the whole house. But I do have to admit, after I had new sink and tile put in my kitchen, I really, conciously, admire and enjoy it every time I use it.
I'm hoping it goes over well. There's nothing she really needs or wants...at least none expressed. I bought tickets for a 3 hour Winter Wonderland dinner train ride for the two of us for an anniversary present. Maybe that'll make up for the sink if it doesn't go over well. Lol

I think a new, deeper kitchen sink is a marvelous idea. :D

Neither can we
Linda, I had to think hard about it when you mentioned not being able to find dandelion and cactus pads. I can't explain the dandelion (maybe they just need to come into fashion as a salad item), but I have some thoughts on the lack of cactus pads...

It's related to the reason(s) I couldn't find a decent taco in the UK if my life depended on it. No exaggeration there, either.

The role that Mexican food plays in the U.S., Indian food plays in the UK. Indian cuisine does not include beef as an ingredient, nor does it include cactus pads. So a trip to an ethnic market would not help our roomies in Europe, either. :(

That’s horrible! Usually that’s what happens to me too. Sunny while working and raining when I’m off. The weather has a mind of its own. All my Sullies really enjoyed yesterday. Toretto has been a bit sulky at all the indoor time and yesterday really perked him up.. I weighed him last night and he’s 9lbs now... that’s 5 lbs gain in 3 months.. :)
Some day Toretto will eat you from house and property .... LOL !:eek::D

Good afternoon everyone. I am back from my weekend adventure. Longest night was greT but Saturday was a bit sad. We put our good friend to rest. All my torts are doing great and growing. Might be getting or adopting two new pets, two Adult Raccones to add to the zoo. We have to go and check them out first. This will be interesting!

I’m so sorry about your friend Cheryl! I am very interested to hear progress on the coons though.. they can be adorable companions or complete devils! I have had dealings with a few from ages ranging birth to seniors. I’m very fond of them myself but some are not easily adaptable to captivity . Good luck!
