I'm hiding from my wife today.

[qnr]

It's our anniversary and I didn't get her a present.

[NightWatcher]

1. Psst

Go get one now.

[qnr]

3. Good advice n/t

[NightWatcher]

18. do you have any gift boxes laying around the house?

[qnr]

21. Hah yeah heheheheh

She is very handy with implements of destruction

[a kennedy]

29. Ha ha......love this gift idea.......hope my husband thinks of this....

[NightWatcher]

30. We can send him an email as things get closer

Hey, I'm a helper

[a kennedy]

31. Ha ha.......and thanks.

[MADem]

2. Yes, get a prezzie NOW......Quickly, QUICKLY--there's no time!!!!!!!

[qnr]

4. Hhahah yeah - would if I could :D n/t

[MADem]

5. AMAZON one day delivery.

Call the doggone FLORIST and order the ROSES ... STAT. If they don't have any, get a massive display of exotic flowers, the flashier, the better, to be delivered today. Pay extra.

You've got internet--quickly quickly--there's no time!!!!!!

[qnr]

9. Well, it's not a matter of forgetting it,

it's other issues - my sig kind of illustrates them.

I started this thread as a lighthearted joke, but I might delete it since I don't want it to turn into something else

[MADem]

11. Oh, so sorry--didn't even SEE that. Hope things look up.

Make her a card, and write her a love poem.

That'll do it, probably better than anything else. She obviously knows your financial circumstances; she'll understand!

[qnr]

13. Thanks - yeah, I'm doing some artsy things for her, and baking some stuff

[MADem]

15. That's the stuff--people know when they're loved. nt

6. I got my wife a clay pot one year.

She reminds me of it constantly.

[qnr]

7. Actually, I'm screen printing her some shirts that she wanted,

if that counts.

[rug]

8. It damned well should.

[qnr]

10. Great :D - can't afford to buy anything, but hopefully she'll like these :D n/t

[KMOD]

25. She must have really loved it!

[lunatica]

12. My suggestion will definitely work

Cut out the picture of something really nice from a magazine and put it in a card and put them in an envelope and write "Future anniversary present" on it.

Have fun with it since being poor is really no fun at all. You could cut out the picture of a car or a house or a picture of a sunset on the beach or any number of things.

[qnr]

14. I think I will cut out a picture

of Colorado or NYC. She really wants us to have a vacation. She would love to revisit her experiences in Colorado, or head to NYC and meet my 82-year-old mom. We haven't really seen each other since the 70's and just reconnected last week.

[lunatica]

16. That's a great idea

You could both have a wonderful afternoon of happy fantasies. It would easily be the one anniversary you'll never forget and it might go down as the best one you ever had.

[qnr]

17. Could be :D`

Good idea.

[bigwillq]

19. Did she get you one?

Happy Anniversary.

[qnr]

20. Don't know - she has been away all day - she's pretty broke too,

so I'm not expecting one

thanks!

[Coventina]

22. Take her somewhere where you can watch the sunset together.

Unless you are here in Phoenix, where sunset will be 106 degrees.....

[qnr]

23. Thanks - that's actually something we do a few times a week,

although, to be honest, it is just the four of us going out for a walk together.

[Generic Brad]

24. Tell her you are her gift

If she buys into that - you are gold. Offer yourself to her with bravado!

[qnr]

28. Yeah, that's the ticket heheh n/t

[KMOD]

26. Just find a nice movie to watch,

snuggle on the sofa and remind her that you love her.

I'm sorry you are going through a financial hardship.

[qnr]

27. Thanks :) we're out having fun with

the kids right now.

[whistler162]

32. Dead spouse walking......

[qnr]

35. Hahah yeah :D n/t

[cwydro]

33. It's summertime.

Go pick some wildflowers.

She'll love it.

[qnr]

36. Then my 3-year-old would be mad at me

for stealing his job!

[Denis 11]

34. no

don't!

[qnr]

37. OK
