Well I've been following this thread for some time now and feeling the collective pain of all my brothers out there and feel it is my duty to inspire the downtrodden with the pearls of wisdom I have accumulated over the years. First it is important to understand that she is the love of your life and you would not be complete without her. When she wants to go shopping put a big smile on your face and say "Absolutely, I thought you'd never ask!"
When you arrive at the mall simply pull up to the main entrance and put on your four way flashers. Get out of the car and open her passenger door for her…this is very important! Take her by the arm and escort her to the entrance door and ask her to call you when she is done shopping and ready to be picked up. She is to take as long as she wants because you want to make her happy! Then go to the nearest Hooters in your area and chow down on some wings and beer while watching NFL highlights on the big screen.
You will see other men in there who are making their soul mates happy by doing the same thing you are so you can bond with them and catch up on what teams will make the playoffs.While waiting for the wings to arrive you have more than enough time to write her a little note telling her how much she means to you and how she rocks your world! Take your time with the wings as your cell phone probably won't ring for at least 3 hours. The smile on her face when you return to pick her up later will be your testament to the peace and harmony that seems to be missing from so many relationships today…thank you

Used to do Research at the U. I kinda thought that was the place, based on the stores mentioned. I hate that plaza. Horrible parking. I used to overlook it from my previous job's office (post-U job, pre-current job). You an see Sundance on lower left, just past the U clinic. Also see part of the Bed Bath and Beyond and Whole Foods, but Barnes is too far south in this shot to have made it in. Shot is from a year ago, so you don't see the Sugarhole complex that is almost complete.
I sometimes miss that office, though. Had a view of downtown, too:

Don't know how many hours of my life I have lost in the mall waiting for my wife. The tradeoff is she never says a word about all the toys I buy!

OK. We're home. 
I don't know when to push that symbol on the calculator. Before or after all the 0's....
When in the hell does a grown man use square root in the real world besides to look like a geek in public??

The daughter and I (my boys learned years back to hate shopping) go shopping together for the wifey's Xmas gifts, that is the ONLY shopping I do year round. We hit an upscale mall and have a light dinner with a large draft beer, shop, then we have an appetizer afterwards and I have another beer or scotch. She drives home.
I don't know how you handle it Timco, pure Purgatory.

You guys are so funny . . .
When men shop, they think "Does this store have what I want?"
They find the item and leave.
When women shop, they think "Do I want anything in this store?"
They don't know what they will find, so they have to look at everything.
Hey, I don't make the rules. . .

This is how I am when I walk into a new speed shop. Can't seem to find any lately though.
