To all the men!

To all the men, and women for that matter,

I would like to ask the following question,

Are there any men out there who at one time forgot thier wives birthday?

Well, if you might guess, I DID! Talk about being in hot water.

I know this has nothing to do about DL education, but being in the off topic section, I'd like to now if I'm the only crazy guy out there who has ever done this.

You are certainly not alone. I too am guilty of the same thing.

 

It will NEVER happen here - the ole' lady leaves too many post it notes starting on the first day of her b-day month


peACE,

It may have more to do with distance learning than you think, Rich. Perhaps a brief period of being at a distance will produce a bit of learning. In particular, learning not to forget the lady of the house's birthday!

Those dog houses are uncomfortable, you know.

 

I would be dead meat, finished, done, kaput, massacred, wiped, crushed, whipped, disowned, and mangled then she would really let me have it.

Tell her that you don't deserve it but that you must beg for forgiveness because you won't be able to live with yourself if she can't find it in her generous and loving heart to forgive you. Practice the sad puppy dog look in the mirror prior to make sure you have it down right.

To Ike,

I'm glad to see that I'm not alone!

To Russell,

It's not the dog house that's uncomfortable, it's the lumpy COUCH!! HAHAHAHAHHA!

Believe me when I say I've learned my lesson!!

In 34 years of boyfriend\girlfriend\Husband\Wife I never ever once forgot my wife's birthday. I consider myself too thoughtful, caring, and loving to ever do such a thing.

Her birthday being on the Fourth of July and us living in the US may also have something to do with my good memory........

 

Re: Re: To all the men!

Lucky for you. If you ever did forget her birthday, she would probably launch a bottle-rocket to hit you where the sun doesn't shine.

 

OK guys, I too have forgotten special days on various occassions. (Yes I am the wife). What I do is in my calander I mark all the "important" days. Everybody's birthday, anniversary's, graduations, etc. go in January, and I have the info all yeara long. It take an hour or so to compile, but well worth the headache of hearing about it when I forget Mom's birthday!!

 

If you are an outlook user, you can set it up just once, and have it repeat yearly. Even have it send reminders. And you never have to set it up again.

 

I could NEVER forget my wife's birthday. She spends three weeks reminding me of it!

As far as wedding anniversary, I am lucky. It is Halloween and who forgets that day.

 

Boy mine would string me and kill me. Death would be a pleasure if I forgot.

 

The nice part about the wife forgetting is that I still get sex, even if I foget.

 

To all,

Let's just say that in order not to make this same mistake again, I'm already planning something for her birthday, for next year.

That's if I make it to next year!!! hahahahahaha

This is why an internet connection both at home and at work is a great thing . . . even if you forget to mutter something as they're leaving the house (in my case usually because I'm still fast asleep ;-), you can send an email inviting them to dinner at the restaurant you've just frantically looked up on the web . . . and do it all before the morning coffee break!

To all, again,

Well, I think I will make it to next year, I was able to straighten very thing out with the wife, it is amazing what a trip to the jewelry store will do for a guy in trouble, and I think all you guys know what I mean?!

Anyway, I all ready circled the date for next year!

Well, objective assistance

Being blessedly single, and having a committment to it to boot, (tried relationship, been there done that), I believe I can sit back and objectively analyze marital situations and give advice from a totally unbiased perspective. hehe. I forgot my G/F's b-day once, man am I ever glad I don't have to worry about that ever again.

But being the person I am with my nose always stuck in the book, I have forgotten about EVERYTHING, and no kidding! Listen, I am being totally honest, I forgot about Christmas this past year until 6 days before that annoying holiday. I had no clue it was here!!! My family has gotten into the habit of letting me know a month ahead of time, "hey Steven, such and such a day is coming in a few weeks!" One thing that helps is www.birthdayalarm.com

Join the club!

Re: Well, objective assistance

To Lawhopes, greetings,

Let me just say that this was one club I was not looking to join, the couch gets hard after a couple of nights on it! hahahahaha

And the wife said she will be more than happy to remind me well in advance next year.

For a joke, this coming weekend I'm going to buy a birthday cake with her name and put it in the freezer, this way I will be well prepared for next year! I'm hoping she'll get a luagh out of it. hahahaha!

We were married on July 4. I CANNOT forget!
