My wife is pissed at me for ruining her birthday. I'm not sure what I did. Hell I didn't even

[Floyd R. Turbo]

know it was her birthday!

1. You can make up for it by suprising her with a cake...

Lit with about 25 EXTRA candles!

[BBG]

2. Bonus Burn!

Good idea said the thrice married dumbass...

[Rorey]

6. Last year on my birthday

My (then) husband presented me with a cake which said Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary. Yeah, we had gotten married on my birthday. It took everything I had to not throw it at him. My birthday was in September. In July I had found out that he had been having an affair.

The affair never ended, even though he pretended that he had broken it off for a little while.

We're divorced now.

12. Good Times

Sometimes it takes a good kick in the pants to spur us onward and upward!

[Rorey]

14. Yeah, it was really a gift that he had an affair

I'm just not a quitter, and would have kept on until death parted us, even though I was unhappy for at least a decade.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

4. WOW! Thanks!

3. Just buy her a pass for 3 free sky dives.

She’ll love it, as it is a thoughtful gift.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

5. Three? What if the first one doesn't work out?

[magicarpet]

7. Make the last two fully redeemable to you in the event of a no show on her behalf.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

8. 👍🏻🪂

[A HERETIC I AM]

9. Three because the 3rd time's a charm, as they say.

Of course, if the first is a comprehensive disappointment, you might have to just toss her out the second and 3rd go.

[smirkymonkey]

15. You know what they say...

"If at first you don't succeed...skydiving is not for you!"

[skypilot]

16. LOL!

That's like something Oscar Wilde would say.

On edit: Actually, Oscar would have said "Three? But what if the first one WORKS out.

10. Men are eternally stupid.

And the love to advertise it.

[SummerSnow]

11. From this day foward, put an alert on your phone on her birthday.

Now you have to write her a love letter, buy her some flowers and get her a cake

[central scrutinizer]

13. There's probably an app for that

Enter the birthday, address and your credit card number and -bingo- flowers and a box of candy are delivered.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

17. Pat her on the bottom and tell her to bring you and a friend some beers.

I did that to my EX-wife years ago, totally as a JOKE, when I had a friend visiting us. I was expecting her to tell me to get it myself, and then I'd say "Yes, dear" with many self-deprecating apologies.

To my surprise, she retrieved the beers. Then I got distracted by my buddy before I could tell her I was kidding.

I heard all about it after my friend left.

18. Explain to her that it is the wife's duty to keep track of everybody's birthday.

Do this in a firm but loving manner.

19. I've known some ladies that kept formal birthday books....

with everyone's and their dog's birthdays and anniversaries logged into it.

I'm glad some I've known some that do that, as it helps keep me straight. I have no memory for dates, or many names for that matter....seems to be a man thing. We tend to remember bolt sizes, spark plug part numbers, and stuff like that.

KY...........

20. I have to write everything down

Appointments and days I babysit on the calendar. I write my daily to-do list on the backs of envelopes that junk mail comes in. The things i don't get done one day are added to the next days list.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

21. Modern life requires way too much info just to get by.

I started using a pocket-size daily planner system back in the late 70s, got hooked on it and continue to use them after retirement. Those little books are my memory and I even put tape tabs on them to help find important stuff. I suppose the $45 a year I spend for a year's set is my old-fashion equivalent to today's cloud storage of data, LOL.

Like you, I also use do lists.....normally small squares of scrap paper stuck in my keyboard (I cut up junk mail envelopes to make the squares!). Poor memory is a pain, but writing stuff down also avoids the errors inherent in anyone's memory.

22. Give it up Floyd

We can never win

[Major Nikon]

23. Is it too late to buy her a new vacuum?

[Flaleftist]

24. Facebook reminds me.
