Very Twilight Zone!!
(...) 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
Third Leather Crystal/Glass Knee warmers
Fourth Fruit / Flowers Appliances Mini pump & CO2 kit

Excellent list Trek!!!

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

[SadieKate]

Don't forget:

Seventeen - Carbon/Kevlar Topolino wheelset
Eighteen - Titanium freehub in custom wheels and Assos bib shorts (the later also appropriate for the Eleventh, was it maillotpois?)

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.
