OneAndOneIs2

Good to know.

I just got my Mom an emberassingly expensive handbag (as in, I did not want to return with the bag to the office afterbuying it in my lunh hour in fear of what my coworkers will think of my income and my spending habits)and I can only hope It iwll also go over well with her.

Worse comes to worst, I'll end up carrying a fabulous bag myself, which is not such a bad thing now, methinks.

I still can't tell if the OP is supposed to be sarcasm or not. It sounds very sarcastic, but I wouldn't know.

It's not sarcastic. Just blindingly obvious :o)

That it is. But there's an unnecessary qualifier in the original statement. Giving chocolates and/or diamonds to any female is likely to go down well.

say what you like - this female was VERY happy!!

Ahh, I guess it is a dialectal difference. Over here when you say "~ is likely to go down well" it usually implies sarcasm.
