The weather finally got to where I could step outside for a minute tonight, COPD, I can't get out unless the air quality is just about perfect. Stepped outside about 20 minutes till midnight and was standing there looking at my old Buick thinking what it would be like if I could work on it and all of a sudden it hit me. I'd had forgotten my 33rd anniversary. ****. It ain't all about the cars guys, there's other **** too. I'll put a pic of my car so maybe I won't get the thread deleted for being off topic. Maybe it'll help somebody else remember their anniversary.
I'll remember that when I get married.. Which will be quite a while. Uh.. Good luck with the wife. Godspeed. Hahaha!! iPhone - TJJ App
ok but if your wife didnt mention it (im ***uming that it was the day before if it was midnight?) then you might be ok. but if its today then i would suggest goin and pickin some wild flowers and put them in a vase or something or you will be living in that buick! btw thats a nice buick, i hope you get to work on it again and get it all finished up!!!
It's not that she's pissed or anything, I'm just dissapointed in myself. Seems like i'm forgetting a lot of stuff these days and I'm just so **** about everything that these things really bother me.
"Oh man" I wish I could come up with a catchy phrase. The best I can do is: I feel your pain. This is my second time around and thank god this one takes my maleness into account. We have been together over 25 years and there has been more than one oversight on my part. Just remember they are right and you ? I wish you the best, Ed
sorry special sam got distracted for a moment The good news and the bad good you are not alone bad it doesn't get better put your arms around her and tell her what you told us-after 33 yrs she probably has noticed it a bit!
Several years back, both the wife and I forgot our anniversary till a couple days p***ed by. We both had a good laugh.... Best part of it is that I am off the hook for life if I do it again...
You didn't forget you just didn't remember at the right time. It's 31 years for us as well this year.
hey, you are all right. When you goof the 2 most powerful words on the planet are "I'm sorry" - heck its worth a try if you like her.
Tell her just what you just confessed to us and give her a big hug and kiss and tell her how much you love and appreciate her. Go do something nice together today, if possible. Our families and home lives are more important than any car stuff. But, you obviously know that already. Have a great day!
Oh boy, don't I know that situation! Few things upset a woman more than missing that anniversary. They may not remember what you told them yesterday, but they remember things like anniversaries and all your ex-girlfriends' names. Make it up to her, keeping on the wife's good side is important when parts are needed for the project.
A few years ago my wife and I actually had to ask my mom when our anniversary was. We got married on the 14th of August and my sister got marred the 16th of September and we sometimes got the days mixed up. 42 years next month and we will celebrate it out on our sailboat in the San Juan Islands again this year. And there has been more than one year when the both of us completely forgot until weeks later and laughed about it. We used to make a weekend of it every year when the Run to Roslyn rod run took place right close to our anniversary every year. Take the hot rod out and get a motel room for the weekend with no kids or dogs along.
Thats not a bad idea....kinda like one of them new fangled support groups....mine is Sept 2nd....easy to remember....however all the kids and me and the wifies b-days are in Aug and I can't keep em straight.....
As much as it bothers you, I'm sure you'll come up with a great way to celebrate 33 years together. Sometimes you just have to be a little more creative, but that makes memories. Congratulations, and good luck!
Good thing you did eventually remember it... Ours is unforgettable too. It's always the weekend of the Woodward Cruise. And four days before her birthday. JK
my inlaws just gave us some money so the wife and i could go do something nice for our anniversary. instead as a belated fathers day gift my wife suggested i use the money to go to the swap meet instead. "we" got a muncie 4 speed. thanks everybody.
