I like your wife Glad to hear she isn't one of those that puts her own needs aside waiting for a little consideration. Ya get what ya give. Don't give any consideration, eventually you aren't going to get any. You just couldn't put aside what you wanted for one evening, could ya? You should have spent that time showering, dressing and telling her you couldn't wait to spend an evening out with her. After all there's always tomorrow for carving and she would have been content to let you have your day, I'm sure. BUY flowers or candy?????? What an insult. And if I have to explain that one to you . . . .Hammer

Well, nice thing about my dog having to go bye-bye awhile back, is that there is always room for me in his former guest room!

Sometimes, I swear I've been married maybe a week or two, other times I'll also swear I can't remember when I wasn't married. Calendar-wise, we got married in early 1979, so I suppose this means I have a 30th anniversary coming up in a couple of years.

Actually made it out to the movie last night. I bravely stayed awake through an excruciatingly crappy movie AND with-held my usual nitpicking about the plot/story/dialogue/acting skills. I bought my sweety an extra buttery tub of popcorn and a large pop with extra ice. What we did afterwards and where is an interesting story, but not one I'll willingly reveal to anyone this side of the grave.

In my own defense about missing the movie the night before, I will say that this is not an unusual thing. Sometimes she cancels at the last minute, other times it's me that gets tangled up in something. Such is life. (shrugs)

Just to be on the safe side, though, I'm moving an extra blanket out to the doghouse with maybe a small coffee maker.

For the next time.

Good Lordy! You'd better go down to the tattoo parlor tomorrow morning and get that anniversary date permanently inked on your forehead! Miss that and you will be in a pile of deep doo-doo!

You want to talk about landing in the doghouse. I forgot my 10th anniversary and went motorcycle riding with some friends without my wife. That one was bad. Two dozen roses a lot of admitting guilt and pleading for forgiveness later she decided to keep me but I was in it deep for about a week. I now have that anniversary day on every calendar I can find. The electronic ones have it recorded and a reminder set from now until the end of time.

HEHEHEHEHEHEHE! I have never forgot her anniversary or her birthday. However, there were several times she received a hunting rifle or something to go with hunting. Never had an adverse reaction from her.Of course she has went out and bought herself some nice things also. Just the way it is sometimes. To forget an anniversary or birthday doesn't mean your souse or you don't love each other. Well, maybe to some it does. There are worse things in this world than forgetting either one.

Kenny,
In the long run I it wasn't the worst thing I could have done. Looking back on it now it is funny (but I try not to mention it around her). It was one of those things that when I walked into the house I knew she was mad but she wasn't telling why. When I would ask what was wrong she would just say "Nothing." and then not say much after that. That gave me plenty of quiet time to figure out what I had done. When I realized what it was that was a huge kick in pants. I think she had me on a timer to see how long it would take me. She was pretty mad at the time.

One of my buddies uses this story as a shield whenever he gets in trouble with his wife. At least I'm not as bad as Brian who forgot his 10th anniversary. I like to tell him that I sacrficed myself so he could get out of trouble.

Heh - it's almost proverbial how people say that men forget things like anniversaries and birthdays. Not me!

On the other hand, my wife has forgotten these things several times. Do I rub it in? Well - once.

Never again...
