I see your point. Coffee, gas and daisies, et al, are pretty demanding. I think I can almost fit in my kid&amp;#39;s fastskin II now, so I probably won&amp;#39;t be buying too many more for just myself. Hmmm... I generally consider myself fairly low maintenance. But maybe I&amp;#39;m wrong. :eek: 
 
I guess I should have added:
 
heels
lip stick &amp;amp; lip gloss
chardonnay and pinot noir
systane
fairly regular use of zyrtec D/singular/flonase
no shoveling of snow
fairly regular ART appointments
multiple hair care products
flip flop addiction (although this doesn&amp;#39;t seem high maintenance)
beach addiction (is that high maintenance?)

Somehow I think in the context of the situation, your comment was going to be both vulgar and about drag reduction (or the lack of drag reduction perhaps?) .....so don&amp;#39;t play this all innocent Mr. British politesee guy now Rich o.k.!

I do always bring my wife breakfast in bed on Sunday mornings because she works late on Saturday nights and has to go back into work on Sunday afternoons.  I also do all of the teending to Neal on Sunday morning so she can sleep in and I bring her coffee and food at around 11:00 when she wakes up....she might also get a foot message too....just depends on how sore her feet are.  So I&amp;#39;m not all that bad all of the time guys!!

My husband gave me the perfect Valentine&amp;#39;s Day! He brought me a box of chocolate, a bottle of wine, and cooked me a steak and shrimp dinner at home. I thought it was so sweet for him to plan and cook the dinner for me. He&amp;#39;s a great cook...so I am spoiled! 

Roses are beautiful but they don&amp;#39;t last... and they&amp;#39;re pretty pricey....give me a bouquet of daisies and I&amp;#39;m happy!  posted by Swimr4life

Hows this for simple.....A dozen dandelions and a trip to McDonalds.  

Actually my wife gets mad if I get her anything for Valentines day or for Christmas....even a simple $2 card.  We keep it pretty simple allright....We spent $0 on eachother for Valentines day....and $0 on eachother for Christmas as well.
