Post pictures of a camera you fancy around the house. You know, on the mirror where he shaves, in the shower, in the fridge, lazy boy, rearview mirror. While you're posting one on the rearview, why don't you also write a sweet nothing in lipstick too!

Have fun! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

I've read that TELLING a man exactly what you want IS subtle......to them! LOL

Probably why the 'language of flowers' & the 'language of the fan' was so widely known & studied back in Victorian days!

I wish we could go back to that. I know, I know...the corset & no pants...but I would like being expected to dress like a lady & go 'calling' for 'tea' VERY much! LOL <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Just tell him you want a new camera for your anniversay & he can surprise you w/ the wrapping! LOL

Talk about subtly (sp?).

I shared the link to the necklace with my mommy group and also asked their opinion. One came back with this:

The standard gift for 10 years is tin or aluminum. Therefore you should buy him a 12 pack and meet him at the door in a tinfoil bikini.

After I picked myself up off the floor, I replied:

As long as it's not a THONG bikini.

Then they asked what I wanted and I told them a camera.

The same woman replied:

Pour him a beer while dressed in the bikini and you can pick and damn camera you want, blondie.

I told Nio and he agreed.

ROTFLMAO.

And who ever said being a Mommy is boring?

You've got some awesome friends there Kimmy! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> Ever bit as witty as you.

Ouchawowwa...tin foil thong?!? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

While Nio's being so agreeable, (and turned on)~~go for a 5 megapixel!

We were being schmaltzy last night. We always get schmaltzy the night before the babies go home. Both of us breathe for the day when we're all together!

Can I just say, I LOVE MY KIDS!!!!!!!!

(whew!) I tell mija every time she leaves for her to be good for her mommy...today she kissed me and said, "I will, Mommy."

a whole decade! isnt it great? I loved saying that when i was married 10 years. Congrats!

"Now for any married woman that doesnt know after being married for a decade even if you divorce your husband the day after you are entitled to his full social security benefits for life, as long as you dont remarry. Just some trivia for you all."

Does any one know what the proper gift is for an 18th wedding anniversary?

Cord~

Porcelain~~which could come in handy during these trying times, if you feel the need to break something. Better than whacking your H over the head~~major LB!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

I didn't know the SS thing. Of course that's if SS doesn't all go defunct before it's time for any of us relatively young ones to collect on what we put in. But that's a whole 'nuther topic. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Thank you NC.

The mommies are da bomb. We met on babycenter - many of us while TTC (trying to conceive). We all have babies born Nov. 99, and all of us at the time we met were WM (working mommies). A couple are SAHM now and the rest of us are insanely jealous! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> We've been friends a long time...really neat thing here...I've only met a few of them IRL, tho I've talked to nearly all of them on the phone. I count them among my best friends.

How cool is that?
