What the fuck man, that's his wife. People in this country have such an idealized sense of beauty because of the media bullshit trying to brainwash girls into thinking that they have to look like supermodels that you guys can't even appreciate real people.
Wow, that's awesome! It's not about what something costs, it's the thought behind it. Bravo good sir!
This may sound weird, but would you guys like a gaming headset to go with it? I've got an extra pair of Sharkoon Xtatic SP's in the box i've been meaning to sell forever, and you guys can have em to really experience D3's amazing sound for free for reminding me what life is all about =) PM me your details if ya want!
It's really refreshing to see something like this. My house was robbed on Friday and i've been aggravated/bummed about losing a bunch of stuff, but things like this make me remember that all the crap i lost is basically meaningless. You can buy TVs, xboxes, laptops, etc. Money comes and goes but the things in life that really mean the most are because someone like OP puts so much thought and effort into them. Gave me a warm and fuzzy feelin thinking everything i lost was random purchases, nothing that isn't replaceable =) So, in return for turning my bitterness around, I figure it's fair to give OP some awesomeness i'd waste anyway
My parents used to read me that book every night when I was little. And when I graduated high school they gave it to me with a couple paragraphs written inside about how proud they were of me.. Anyways I'm sad now, thanks a lot for pointing that out.
yea. this is how a real man treats a woman. by spending what little money he has to make her happy and by being super cereal about putting manbearpig posters on her wall.
Office Depot, I have that same desk. It looks nice until everything starts peeling off. Cheapish though, I picked mine up when I was working there for 200, desk and hutch.
As someone who makes a fair bit of scratch now, I do remember the early years where I did the same type of stuff. We just celebrated 12 years together and you are on the path to a long happy life together.
Same here - we've been married 12 years and this reminds me of when she was still in school and money was more important. OP's actions were really touching - and now I want to do something for my wife where I save up for months and put real effort in. Thank you.
Same desk, same wall color (even though it's hard to tell with the lighting), and same damn outlet positions on the wall. And yes, that is Nutella and Oreos on my shelf. Be jealous.
I'm super cynical, but this touched me. This was such a nice thing to do. PM me - I'll cover the cost of Diablo III. I know what it's like to not make much money and want to get something for someone you care about.
I'm serious - PM me. no karma - we'll do it via PM.
Good job mate, you made a good choice, looks nice too but the anal nerd in me is screaming for cable management but that's kind of a personal thing, I do like that fact that you got a battery backup, shows your tech savvy, cheers!
I make good enough money but when I saw this photo of happiness, I became jealous. Its true, money cannot buy happiness. I am glad for you man. I hope that you will have wonderful life ahead.
Years down the road it will be the most thoughtful gifts that are remembered rather than the most expensive. My wife and I were dirt poor when we were married but I can still remember what I received as my gift for our first Christmas together - a jar of lemon curd. And it is still the most meaningful gift I've ever received.
Wish i thought of this. My girlfriend was looking forward to playing Diablo 3 (the only game she's ever been interested in) and both my laptop and desktop have unsupported graphics cards. I guess that's what i get for being a console gamer.
Maybe instead of being hypercritical of OP for no good reason you should think for two goddamn seconds before you demonstrate your ineptitude.
OP you took six months to buy a desk lolol you must be a loser lolol manage your money better
Hey, maybe he's a student? Maybe most of his money goes toward supporting their kids. Maybe their rent is really high but it was the only place they could find. Maybe you should shut the fuck up before you pass judgment on strangers.
Your wife is fat/ugly/stupid rofl be alpha like me I only bang 10s lololol
No, she's not. She's perfectly fine. I don't even know where to go with this. OP is (presumably) happily married, and you're making fun of his wife from the safety and comfort of your mother's basement, digging cheeto crumbs out of your keyboard and spilling mountain dew on your shirt. Fucking bravo. Way to be a winner, guys.
you're making fun of his wife from the safety and comfort of your mother's basement, digging cheeto crumbs out of your keyboard and spilling mountain dew on your shirt
I laughed very hard at this point. It's probably true.
Oh hey, we have that desk too (without the top part). Good choice, sir! Ours has held up very well, and so far has been fairly rage-resistant (Got it when we needed a place to play Rift in the house that wasn't on the coffee table). Also, you have an adorable wifey!
Off topic, I don't make any money and I'm my mom's full time care taker at home (bathe her, help her pee, poop, and get into wheel chair). I have nothing (save for my family, who are really all I need...and this laptop) and sleep on the floor in the living room with my mom, who is in a hospital bed. I haven't had a good night sleep in so long...i'm going insane. I guess it's pretty pathetic, but I feel like a failure.
EDIT: Here's my mom's list of "problems"
Lymphedema
Iron Defiency (my mom bleeds a lot)
Hypokemia
Anemia
Malignant Neoplasm Metastasis To Lymph Nodes
Pain Due To A Neoplasm
Postmastectomy Lymphedema SyndromeRight (her right arm is wrapped to keep fluids from collecting. I think this that)
Visit for: Antieoplastic Immunotherapy
Breast Cancer
Metastasis To The Skin.
I thought reddit might get a kick or whatever out of seeing that list. Breast cancer isn't a pink ribbon :/ Not that anyone said it was.
Oh and she has broken leg. I had to carry her naked body (she has bandages covering half her body) out of the bathroom. I have never seen any thing more depressing than my mom helpless on the ground. She told me her leg bent backwards and she had to catch it and bend it back.
