Getting wife one for Christmas. Was thinking the Samsung Tab 3 seems to be the way to go, primarily because it is less expensive than any up to date Apple stuff and seems to be quite comparable, at least according to the guy at Best Buy.
Now getting an IPad 2 would not necessarily break the bank, but I am out of work in a few months with no job in sight yet and still paying off wedding bills, so I thought saving a few bucks would help. She is not necessarily a brand person either, but everyone in her family that have tablets have IPads, so I don’t know if she thinks of them as some kind of status symbol or something. But, as they say, happy wife, happy life.
So any thoughts on the best one out there? IPad 2 would be as expensive as I am willing to go, no IPad Air, but preferably less $. As far as technical specs, I think her biggest concern is screen size, for watching her Spanish soap operas
I’m just thinking out loud here…but if you still have wedding bills and your out of a job in a few months, maybe you shouldn’t be looking at $300 Xmas gifts?

You are right and there are much deeper issues in this relationship. But anyways, I do have a little financial cushioning, but after this, it is living strictly until something is lined up for a job.
I am one of those who always buys apple stuff. Not surprisingly, all my stuff always integrates seamlessly with my other stuff and I am pretty much always happy with my purchase, even through I am fully aware I am probably “overpaying” for it. My wife has an iPad 2 and it still does everything she wants it to do and does it well.
Typing on my Microsoft Surface right this moment, if screen size is a criteria it wouldn’t be bad choice considering price. Biggest issue prbably is it don’t have as many fancy apps and shit as apples (or atleast thats what the iPad seller was trying to force in to my head lol) but IE runs all of that shit just fine.
I have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and love it. I imagine that the Tab 3 is just as good if not better. I have also been using Android devices since their very first one they released (T-Mobile G1 aka HTC Dream) so everything from my account over the past 5ish years (pictures, accounts, etc.) has been synced throughout all my phones and my tablet. It is pretty convenient.

This remind me of someone who says “I’m going to stop talking…starting now”…“blah blah blah” …“ok, startinggggg NOW”

Maybe it’s because I’ve never once said I was going to stop talking – cannot relate to analogy – but it reminds me more of the people who are going to stop doing whatever tomorrow. No, seriously. I’m gonna smoke/drink/text him one last time tonight, and then that’s IT.
I would also be interested in hearing more about the marriage.

If an expensive gift during a time of financial instability doesn’t fix the relationship, they can always try having a baby. Those are practically guaranteed to resolve underlying issues!

I like the way you think, that’s why you get paid the big bucks.

Fuck me, all the signs are there. As soon as I start disliking my favorite music just because others like it I’m really going to panic.

HAHA. You are a lawyer correct?
Your political views/world view are/is too rational for you to be a hipster anyway. No need to worry.

Get some Viagra and ginseng or whatever you older guys use to get your dick hard, and fuck the shit out that pussy on Christmas day. Don’t even leave the bed, just hit it like you can’t miss all day.
