Look what my girlfriend got me!!!

Frankie...........just sent you a FWD email that Barb sent me when she saw the car. The EBay link is there for the pics! 

Yep.....sure did! Found it on E-Bay.............turned out the guy selling was an hour away from her! His minimum was 18K.....but no bids got above 16K.........she used to have a 1970 version as a youngster and had been searching for one.

Good for her!

Thanks doog!  I was absolutely stunned!  She does this sort of thing from time to time, and I love the challenge to reciprocate it.  Life is good my friend!

Frank knows my opinion of him! No one could miss his attitude if they read here!

But great to have you to keep him grounded!.....well, you know what I mean!

Hi nam!

Frank had a little trouble with his Spitfire and I had to explain that just because he has a bad day doen't mean I will buy him a model.

I know that the coments made were light hearted and I am not at all upset.  I just want everyone to know that Frank has done so much for me and he ask for sooooo little that the F16 was something that I knew he would love and a way to show my aprecation for all that he does for me.  He is a hard one to supprise!

hi Katie............

Nice thing you did! It all works out.....and of course it was all in jest..............

Check my goggles over in the Navy GB. Hope move goes well! 

This reminds me of a guy that went to the library and asked the librarian where he would find a book on Understanding Women.  She referred him to the Unsolved Mysteries Section.

True, very true!

Dre....great idea! But Frankie needs to keep the cost of dinner/gift below that of his bonus or the point is lost! Oh!....and shhhhh!.....Katie sometimes posts around here! We don't want to give too much away!

I have been known to pop my head in and out of the forums...I also work with Frank and got the same bonus that he did...

Just to clear the air I have no intention of making him "pay" and I take that comment in jest as I assume it was intended.  I got Frank the F16 not only because I love him but he is helping me out a lot.  I am moving and need to be out of my apartment by noon on the first but I can't move in to my new apartment untill noon on the first.  So my wonderful boyfriend is letting me put my junk in his garage until I can move it in to my new place. 

He never asks for anything and like on these forums is always willing to help out whenever he can.  If I can do something nice for him once in a while I will.  Believe me he gives back 10 fold.  I wasn't going to give him the plane until after I moved in my new place but he had such a rotten day I gave it too him early. 

Katie

PS Diner does sound good!  I would like something on the grill!  I put steaks in the fridge yesterday Frankie!!! 

Dre....great idea! But Frankie needs to keep the cost of dinner/gift below that of his bonus or the point is lost!
