Do you keep track of anniversaries?

[JimCasy]

You guys think that's bad? I've heard of someone who celebrates 1/2 month anniversaries....

Ugh. That would drive me nuts

Also, I hate cards. I think they're a giant waste of money. I'd much rather have someone just say, "Hey, thanks," instead of sending me a thank you card, or just call for two minutes to say happy birthday or whatever instead of spending $2-5 on something I'll take two seconds to read then immediately throw away.

Almost afraid to ask this, but...how about flowers?

I'm actually the only one in my family who sends cards to people for anything other than birthdays. They like to kid me about that.

Actually I think flowers are stupid. Well, not living flowers, those are nice, but a bouquet or whatever I also think is just a waste of money. I'd rather get a potted plant that would stick around for a long time to be enjoyed. But even then, I would be annoyed that I had to take care of it. And I don't like chocolates or jewelry either. So basically I'm impossible to shop for if you're going for easy generic gifts. Buy me a tattoo and I'd be happy.

How about this, I'll stand in your garden and you can just throw water on me every day.

Okay, okay, I got it! I'll get you a tat on the bottom of your foot: "IF FOUND, PLEASE DROP IN NEAREST MAILBOX."

 

[Garrovick]

Never mind....

It would kill the thread.

I can't even imagine getting a tattoo on the bottom of my foot. I'm not sure if I could hold still for it. I did get a new one about a month ago though!

Now I'm curious. And it's not like this thread will probably live long anyway.

WARNING WARNING WARNING
EXTREMELY CRUDE JOKE APPROACHING

Would getting a tattoo across the chest, qualify as a tit-for-tat?

Oh yes, anniversaries.

It's been awhile since I've had to keep track of one. There haven't been any that applied to me. But I would, if I was in that position. I would never forget an anniversary that mattered.

No, but please continue.

And here's one anniversary I'd almost prefer not keeping track of, but having it means I have my health, so I should be grateful: the anniversary of 39 years on this planet.

Seriously though, I'm pushing 40 here, why am I not freaking out? Is it not supposed to be a guy thing or something?

Are you saying today is your 39th birthday? or that it's coming up?

I don't see what the big deal about age is...I mean, I'm getting close to 30 and it hasn't caused me any worries. I'll never lie about my age...just seems stupid.

 

[Kryton]

Only a few. Like, for example, it was 11 years ago today my dad died.

 

[RandyS]

That's because all you're doing is getting close to 30. Give it ten more years.

THEN you'll have worries.

Plenty of them.

I still don't think I will...but I probably won't be here in ten years, so I guess you'll never know.

The hubby and I really only somewhat keep track of the anniversary of when we met. Mostly because it was on Halloween so it's kind of hard to forget that.

We don't do anything that's that big of a deal, it's just kind of like our special day. Sometimes I'll grab a card for him and vice versa but neither one of us gets pissy if the other doesn't do anything. I'm not the kind of girl that would hold anything over his head anyways....I think that's silly....you guys think differently than we women do and it's pointless to hold it against y'all when it would be like fighting biology. Annnnnnnnnd, since I don't get pissy about stuff, I find I get rewarded more often than a lot of my friends do.

I like the way you think.

I'd have to get a date before I could be forced to "celebrate" an anniversary I'm unable to remember.

It's coming up in a couple of months.

We used to keep track of the "first date" anniversary, until we had an actual wedding anniversary, which made the date thing much less of a big deal. And we actually don't make a big deal of the big deal, either - we always observe it in some way, but gemstones and new cars aren't usually exchanged. (Although come to think of it, I got my first PC as a 10th-anniversary present!)

But I love flowers. They don't have to be expensive or anything, but I love 'em. Dearly. Hey, at least they're cheaper than gemstones. Or PCs.
