DH forgot one anniversary so now a few days before the big day I put post-it notes where he will find them.

I start a count-down a week before on how many days till the big day.

Where do I put them?? I thought you'd never ask!

On his coffee mug
On his toothbrush handle
The bathroom mirror
In the deli drawer in the fridge
On his steering wheel
In his underwear drawer
and the best....
On the underside of the toilet seat! :rolleyes:

He hasn't forgot since!

What a terrific idea! Laughing out loud, here. :D:D:D

I think I'll start making post-it notes right now for my b-day.

Under the toilet seat! You're a genius, Janie!!!

Love IT!
 
I will count my blessings EACH AND EVERY DAY w/my DH!
Complain away! It's essential to keeping an even keel...or whatever. I've often found that throwing a cheap pens against the floor/ground as hard as you can [and you'd be surprised at your strength here?] that it often breaks the pen and can be quite satisfying. However? Ya run outta pens quickly. But it's lots less to clean up after than say, throwing dishes. [But, only if you do it on hard surfaces-ergo warning this can't/shouldn't be done on carpet!-I know from experience here]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Terrific This cartoon character from the '60's used to blow his top [a funnel on his head?] when he got mad.
BTW? I picked our wedding day on Groundhogs day so's it wouldn't be forgotten...at parent's insistence got married in an 'institution' on April Fools! If anyone's been guilty? It's been ME, and I've not excuses- except for all the cruds I've gotten.
Hey, subtlety is not always a guy's strong point. I like yer 'hints'!
BUT I don't want to hear of any 'hospitaliztions' due to spouse being hit w/a 2x4! Got that?
As a very loong married person? What I do these days is go on-line and ORDER what I want and ask him to wrap the unopened packages.. And when opening? GO OOH WOW BLUE! Just the perfect color! ETc...

Thanks, dahlek!

Wonder how I'd do with "cheap pen therapy"? I'm more of a cupboard door and drawer slammer. But I've always wanted to see what its like to toss a few plates, lol! :D

(((Twink))) I hope you're starting to feel better. I don't envy you the steroids (blech), but they might just do the trick. Kelly's right. Get yourself a tall, frosty, double chocolate milkshake. Always makes me feel better..:icecream:

Twink, I got the same exact thing for my 31st anniversary. Not even dinner out without the kids!!!! All talk, no action.

You need to buy the dollar box lots at auctions. LOTS of dishes to break.

:cool:

You must have a kitchen like mine, with sturdy old cabinets that can take a decent slam without shattering. Mine are not pretty, but dang I respect how much abuse they take, and I'll miss em. Maybe they'll get repurposed to some garage so I can keep on slamming them.

:D

Dh forgets once in a while, but he knows he's going to pay for it. I'm not as cheap as he is. lol

Who said this; Don't get mad, get everything!

:p

Noe year for mothers day, he forgot to get me even a card - I was pregnant with dd. He stopped and got me one lousey scratch off ticket. I won $500, LOL. We still laugh about that. On;y time I even won.

My lil Twink, it doesn't mean he still don't love you. Men are not like us women folk, they don't forget on purpose, they just don't have the memory chip we have.lol

Aw Twinks, I second what Momma said. About you being a door slammer, lol, my Mom was too. She had a temper with my Dad. :D :eek:

I hope things are better today. :hug:

Pens are easy, I too tho do....
 
cupboards and doors. Simply throw those cheap pens as HARD AS POSSIBLE DOWN! If the landing surface is hard enuf? They come apart and look as if a car ran over 'em. Nope-it was ME!
It's good therapy and does get rid of all those pens you 'keep' that aren't working. Of course, then you'll need to get more? But, pens are cheaper and easier to replace than a broken cabinet.
Will warn you tho? It's kind of hard to let go of your upbringing and actually 'destroy' something. BUT IT CAN FEEL SOOOO GOOD! hugs etc - j

PS When my mom started slamming kitchen cabinets? We ALL found someplace else to be! She never raised her voice to us, but got this almost hiss in her voice that'd say: You are in Trouble.

Pens are cheap and won't stress anyone else. It's my way to go.

Hope you felt much better and had extra attention for your birthday! If he needs a second chance, you can take my next birthday..:D
