Speaking of which... I guess no one has heard an update on @Old Navy Goat ?

Not anything through here or other methods, no. Hoping it's not a reoccurrence of any of his previous health issues.

Is it the whole eating your feet so you can't run away thing?

For me- it's the fact they look like hairy humans who will rip your nuts off. They seem evil!

Apparently I missed a lot when not being online much the past few days. And that may be for the best.

With that said, I really need April to get here for my cruise. I need the vacation so bad.

Tomorrow is the 12 year anniversary of the first date that my wife and I went on.

She said that she doesn't want to do presents. But, she was OK with me getting some fun coffee beans that are a Valentine's Day special from the roaster. So, I will be doing a pour over with those tomorrow morning for us.

And I'll need to get a card tonight while she is out for chorale rehearsal.

Noice. I love that you still celebrate that. My wife and I did for years but now we've been married for 11 we've defaulted to the wedding anniversary.

I should do something this year on the day of our first "date". If I can remember when it was.

I'm lucky, because we decided we were a couple on her half-birthday, so as long as I remember when her birthday is, I have the other covered as well.

My parents got married on my mum's birthday. I've never been able to work out how dad wrangled that

Not sure where this sits in the world of U20. It's probably 7th league or something, but still. Moving on up

Given that our first date was a week before Valentine's Day, it makes it easy to remember.

And we like to focus on tomorrow over Valentine's Day because it is more personal to us and our relationship as opposed to a generic holiday.

Funny but I know the date of both my current relationship first date and the one for my ex as well. I was regularly the one who would bring it up and have date night around it in better times. It's even funnier that they are only a few days apart in May...

Looks like NZ will move up into II B and Belgium will move down to III A out of II B since they were last. Spain won II B, including a 5-2 win over Australia in their tournament last week.

I'm better at it that my wife. She 100% forgot our wedding anniversary one year. She was very remorseful

Sadly, I still remember my wedding anniversary date too. Bleh.

I always remember the birthday of my ex-wife and the last girl I actually dated. They’re the same day that I found out I was gonna be a dad and the same day when my mom passed. And it was the bday of my best friend growing up. Goddamn November 17th is an emotional roller coaster of a day.

Today is the 10th anniversary of me and my old corporate employer parting ways.

I misunderstood this and thought it was a little interesting you know the day your best friend grew up. As in, that must be a helluva story if you know the day he became a man (or she became a woman).

Haha nah. Unfortunately he never grew up. He died in front of me the day the Avs won their first Cup. Which messed me up for years.
