Ooh, two Sarahs in matching Assos skinsuits in northern Calif? Sounds like the Twilight Zone!

How many years for you? 18 for us on Jan 2, the beginning of the tax year. Durn it, if I have to pay Uncle Sam to be married to Bubba I want the benefit of the entire year.

Very Twilight Zone!!

It was 11 years for us Nov. 5. Last year (for the big 10), the gift was my Eddy Merckx. The Scandium Anniversary. I don't own much (any?) jewelery!

(...) The Scandium Anniversary. I don't own much (any?) jewelery!

What's scandium? I don't think I own any of it either, and if it's s'posed to be the 11th I'm way overdue! Just passed 30. (And we started on a Friday 13th! ) 30 was s'posed to be pearls, but did I get any? Not. Oh well. Don't have the power suit to go with those anyway.

Hey we started on a Friday the 13th too! It must be good luck, because our 20th is this year.

Friday the 13th used to be a sacred day to the Northern Europeans. A day that honored the goddess Freya, and the 13th lunar month. I consider it an auspicious day, both in honor of my ancestors, and because my beloved nephew was born on a Friday the 13th! May it be a blessing to your marriages, although it sounds like you're doing very well on your own, thank you! Lise

I knew that ALL Fridays honored the goddess Freya -- goddess of fertility and of Norwegian chocolate -- but I wasn't aware that the 13th was extra special for her. Thanks for the info! And remember the Freia chocolate next Friday 13th!

bikeless in WI "ALL Fridays honored the goddess Freya -- goddess of fertility and of Norwegian chocolate "

you have a goddess of chocolate!!? Now THAT'S civilization. No wonder you moved there.

sounds like we have to write a new anniversary chart. Besides the traditional and the modern chart there's cyclist anniversarys? So 10 is Scandium?

Anniversary # Traditional Gift Modern Gift Cyclist
First Paper Clocks Funny Socks
Second Cotton China Amici Veloci Arm skins

Excellent list Trek!!!

I am still waiting for my pink sidis. I don't think they make them in 11, though...

Yummmmm, Norwegian Chocolate. My mother in law gives us a stack of Freia chocolate bars every year. My brother in law named his dog Freia too.

Congrats on the 30! The Scandium Anniversary is sort of a joke. Like the Golden Anniversary or the Silver Anniversary, etc. Scandium is an alluminum alloy. It's a great ride!

I love how this thread went from bibs & boobs (can i actually write that out) to anniversaries...now where is the food?

Anyway...Congratulations to all of you!!! now i must go and revise the list of appropiate gifts...we are getting married in less than a month so this will be fun!

as for the bibs...i have decided it is worth a try but i want to at least pop into a shop and try on a pair before i commit...meanwhile i found a pair of tights that will get me by till the sales get REALLY good.
