    Great post - so replies that made me laugh!

    Seriously, from a female standpoint - how many times a week do you cook dinner? It needs to be more than half of the week. Why do you want another?

    Also, maybe get her something. What did you give her for Mother's Day? If you were wanting another egg, and you didn't get her diamonds, then I think you're SOL until the next major holiday when you can hopefully get some points banked.

    If it's factual, all I can say is I am sorry for folks in this situation.

    If(when) this happens upon the next egg appearance on our patio, I might just suggest that my new ceramic grill was a heck of a lot cheaper than the new ceramic cook top she had to have, to say nothing of the rest of the kitchen and counter tops. Now, I understand kitchen stuff ain't diamonds, but now that I think on it.... Ought to be good for a couple more Eggs ;);)

    DIAMONDS! Diamonds! Diamonds! That's your answer. Surprise her with a new sparkly ring, and have your new egg waiting in the wings to roll out next to your XL. It works, I have seen it time and time again.
    Good luck.

    Happily egging on my original large BGE since 1996... now the owner of 5 eggs. Call me crazy, everyone else does!

    DM did you ever notice how men and women keep score differently?
    Men-- mowed the lawn--3 points
    Took out the garbage 2 points
    Without being asked add a point
    Went to work everyday 25 points

    Women--Got me a card for my birthday-- 1 point
    He took me out to dinner-- 1 point
    Took me to Hawaii-- 1 point
    Saved our child from a burning building-- 1 point

    Points needed for sex--500

    Oh, boy, now you've done it! LOL

    Why don't we get points for:

    childbirth

    changing diapers

    making breakfast, lunch and dinner every day forever

    washing all the dishes from above

    cleaning the bathrooms

    vacuuming and dusting the house

    planning all the meals

    grocery shopping

    buying clothes for the entire family

    buying birthday and holiday gifts for the entire family, including husband's side of the family, for which he can't even be bothered to come up with any ideas

    doing all the laundry

    taking care of sick kids

    arranging any and all appointments needed - haircuts, doctors, dentists, etc etc etc - then getting the person there and back, dealing with prescriptions, etc etc etc

    packing up the kids to go on vacation (don't even get me started on this one - for years I packed up myself, three kids, whatever animals were coming along, all the supplies needed for the entire trip, and we still sat in the car and waited hours while hubs meandered around getting his royal self ready)

    And all the other things necessary to keeping life going

    We get no points for any of it. Nor do we even expect it. Yet the male does one little thing and expects not only sex, but thanks, poinits, and recognition on the front page of the local paper.

    See you next week at PNW Eggfest?

    I was just giving you a bad time. Actually, hubs here does more than half the things on that list probably! :P

    Have you checked the weather? I've been watching it on weather.com for a long time and it keeps saying Sat will be sunny. Oh, wait, it just changed to rain. Darn! Bring the popup tents!!!! Maybe we'll get a break. How long can this go on?!?!?!

    At any rate, 66 degrees is not bad, even if it drizzles. And with 40% chance of rain, that means it probably will not rain all day, if it rains at all. I'm thinking it'll be great!

    Do what I do. Just come home with it. Let them **** for a few days. Tell her the coal will turn into a diamond with the small.

    As to the weather, remember this is Washington and it can change a hunnert times between now and Saturday. Best forecast is to look up as you're drivin' to Kent knowing it might change by the time you get there. I'll bring my pop up. I agree 66° ain't too shabby.
