Why is it ok, even encouraged, to give the man of the house a leaf blower or a chain saw or some other tool for a present, but it's a big no no to give the lady of the house a vacuum cleaner or air fryer or other household item?

I don't know - I've always preferred practical gifts that I need and can actually use over things that collect dust or get shoved in cupboards. I have boxes of lovely ornaments packed away that I just don't have room to display.

It might feel it is the norm for a man, (especially older men). Where for women, some people, may feel it is insulting.
I do agree with @Lyn W, practical gifts are good.
I feel the best thing to do is give someone money so that they can decide what they want to do
Good morning all.....it's a dry but chilly one!
We've had the first frost of the year this morning with temps only just reaching 37F at the moment (8 a.m.)
About normal for November but it's been so mild recently it's a bit of a shock to the system - pretty to look at from a warm room though.
I think Lola must have known it was on the way because he wouldn't leave his hide at all yesterday, he just waited by his door for room service.
I had a lovely evening with my nephew and his wife, but my sat nav managed to get me lost on the way there.
Anyway, on with the day! Happy Tuesday and see you later.

I got my wife a Dyson years ago and she loved it.
Got back Sunday from a week at the beach- Rodanthe , NC. Fishing was great for a few days due to wether, but nothing like beach time even in cool weather. A few day shots and one night shot! Caugt four puppy drums, 3 where slot limit but the wife only came down for one. The flounder was fun but very toothy! The kormorant was looking for a free meal!
there's still fish in the Atlantic?
Anybody have an idea what made these prints on my car...a cat and something else...what ever it was it slid on my hood and roof and made a couple of small scratches
This is what makes me crazy...now I'll have to trap whoever it is...damn it

Especially love the sunset picture!
I going to say that I believe them to be footprints from a raccoon.
Nice pix - yes, it’s always good to get to the beach on off season. Not many people.
Start of a cool, overcast day here.
Its 48F outside in the garden - 84F in our Sully’s nightbox.

I think the non-cat prints are from the creature from the black lagoon or some sea monster. You're going to need a bigger trap.

I love love those pictures especially the first one. But really wow on all of them.?
My kids know better and buy me tools ?
I didn't want to say...but that's what I thought too...heck!
I am so not looking forward to what's coming. We have a freeze warning for tonight. I know we need it though so it's time for me to start holing up for the winter 
?. At least I have a new outdoor wifi camera to watch birds and make it a little more interesting. I put the mobi baby cam on Sapphire.? We'll see what I can get.
