“Clearly firewood is more important”

I used a black locust split last night and commented that I remembered that split, and had been looking forward to it. She pointed at another one which I also remembered splitting and stacking and told her the specific details. Big mistake... That naturally led into I can remember individual pieces of firewood “YEARS OLD” but can’t remember how many years we have been married, who some of her cousins are, birthdays etc. That’s what makes this forum great because I know I am not the only one doesn’t see anything unreasonable about my situation.

 

Diagnosis: Perfectly Normal.. Carry on!!

 

Nae worries pal youre awrito, its just the way the cookie crumbles.

 

For second and third cousins I need a diagram and put names on it while you're at it.
There are several birthdays/anniversaries I have written on the proverbial blackboard hundreds of time to commit to memory because there is potential hell to pay for not remembering.
I'm also starting to put ten day warnings in my iphone's reminders app too. That's NOT cheating.

 

No worries, you're among friends here.

 

That's awesome Winston! I don't notice when a GF gets a haircut, but I can tell if something has been moved on my woodpiles.

 

I am definitely going to take your advice! It’s genius, not to mention how impressed she is going to be, of course I’m not going to tell her how I am doing it.

 

After we got married I always had a hard time remembering if we were married in October or November. The only way I could remember was that deer season was in November and I knew I wouldn't gotten married during deer season!
I still have to think if it was the 27th. or 28th. so I would just get her something on the 27th!

Amen Brother, Amen.

 

We got married on an Easter weekend. Decided that as the default, that our anniversary is Easter weekend, regardless of the actual date.

As a safety measure, we had the jeweler inscribe the date and our first initial for the respective rings as owner-added serial numbers in the event of theft. ( those are permissible for entry into the national stolen property database, BTW

Women are hung up on dates. Heaven forbid there is a tragedy. They will be off the tracks weeks before and after the anniversary date of it.

I am blessed not to have such a spouse. She would rather see some token from me because I was thinking of her out of the blue, rather than out of obligation to a day on the calendar.

 

Mine is opening day of moose season. Had 19 years to hunt the opener, says next year for the 20th it’s Hawaii.

 

Anniversary is 11/11/11 at 11 a.m.. As in 1 time, your the 1, one and only you get the point!

Easy to remember

 

We don't celebrate our wedding anniversary (it was just a JP anyway). We celebrate the date we met. And he remembers it more often than I do.

 

I made sure to pick a date that is easy to remember, a divisor of 5: May 10th, 5/10/2003. The year is hard for me to remember. When commercials come on for Mother's day, I know the anniversary is near.

 

I convinced her to date me on valentine's day, our wedding was 2.5 years later, so August 14 is easy to remember.

 

We got married on Chazsbetterhalf birthday 8/25/2012

I've never forgotten her B'day, and the year I'll never forget because my parents passed in 2011.

The only thing I regret is not marrying her while they were still with us.

 

Our area code is 717, our first date was 7-17-02, our marriage 7-17-2010.... keeps it eays.

 

Your anniversary is on my parents anniversary.

Mom's B'day was 7/7 and their anniversary was 7/17
