mattramone Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 So I'm popping The Question later this year (probably the fall), and my soon-to-be-fiancee has said she's going to hunt down some of the records on my wishlist as an engagement present. She asked for a list. Here's what I came up with off the top of my head: Lucero - That Much Further West Lucero - Tennessee Replacements - I'm in Trouble 7" Green Day - Nimrod Lifetime - Hello Bastards Screeching Weasel - Anthem for a New Tomorrow Discount - Half Fiction Pixies - Bossanova Atmosphere - God Loves Ugly Rocket From the Crypt - Scream, Dracula, Scream! Rocket From the Crypt - Circa Now Jawbreaker - Unfun Jawbreaker - Chesterfield King EP Paint it Black - Paradise Yeah, I know a lot of this stuff isn't super rare (I'm not asking for crazy obscure variants or anything - I want this stuff to play it), but I think it's super cool that she would be willing to even attempt this.

hickey Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 All of that added up is an equal exchange for an engagement ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattramone Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 All of that added up is an equal exchange for an engagement ring. Hell yes. Especially considering the ring isn't going to be that much. We're opposed to the diamond trade in general (and aren't big fans of them anyway), so she just wants sapphires set in white gold. Thank you, government stimulus check! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattramone Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 You just pay 6 bucks or something for shipping. Did it fall off the back of a truck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desensitizedbyu Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 No, the company gives it out to get their name out there. This lady at my work knows I love free shit (Who wouldn't?), but she had some article from woman weekly or some shit and it had that site in there. They do it to get their name out there, so the article says. Good site to have round mother's day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest afsdan Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 you know there's ethically sound diamonds out there. There's also synthetic diamonds that comes from well-paid engineers in a lab. but if they're not you're thing, that's cool. just thought you should know.

kirbypuckett Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I don't understand the idea of spending all kinds of money on a ring. I'm sure if I had boobs it'd make some sense, but I'd rather by the lady something useful if I'm dropping crazy amounts of change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure if I had boobs it'd make some sense, but I'd rather by the lady something useful if I'm dropping crazy amounts of change. My ex-girlfriend's great-grandfather told her great-grandmother when he proposed he could buy her a ring or buy them a car. She chose the car. She told my ex that she regretted it and to always get the ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
