Exact Mid Year

[SCraig]

If I calculated it right Thursday (07/02) at noon is exactly halfway through this year. 182.5 days from January 1 and 182.5 until December 31.

Why put it off until later? Just go ahead and spend all your end of the year money now and beat the rush!

You were a little more critical than I was when my wife said I could select our wedding day 58 years ago today. Well I thought about it awhile, then settled on June 30. I figured that was close enough to half the year and it would make it easier to remember the anniversary dates as they came along. At least that's what I told her ... and she got a kick out of it. Actually, what I didn't tell her was that June 30th of the year doesn't interfere with any regular open hunting season ever for as long as we were a couple. Yeh, uh-huh, my mama didn't raise no fool here!

When we were deciding on a Saturday wedding day I suggested 3/21.
She agreed and we did it.
Later I told her it was easier for me to remember- 321

The first year we were married I got my new wife a nice birthday present. I gave it to her on her birthday and she threw it back to me with a "Wrong Date Dummy!" look. Oh, yeah, today was my former girlfriend that she can't stand.

I never made that mistake again since her birthday is an easy one to remember 5/11/55 (or 5x11=55).

I got married the week end of opening dates of dove season in Texas.
Did not think that thru when she picked a date that worked for us.
Damn it !! No opener for 26 yrs now

I was lucky that someone gave us a custom cutting board with our wedding date engraved into it. Any time I have to fill out online forms that ask for my date of marriage, all I have to do is walk into the kitchen and look at the cutting board.

I told my bride that it had to be 5/25, Memorial Day weekend. She thought it would be a great idea because we were always have a three day weekend to celebrate. I later told her that it was Indy weekend, BTW, Danny Sullivan won the race with the spin and win move on Mario.....

We got engaged on 9/4 and married one year later on 9/2
We both missed it one year and said on 9/4 lets go to our favorite restuarant.
Parents called to wish us happy anniversary on 9/2. I said , “dad its in 2 days”. He said no son, its today.you forgot. Wife is going to be mad !!
Thank god the wife had it wrong also and she missed it as well. Stroke of luck i never bring that up to her though. I value my life

My sympathies go out to you brother! Maybe in another 26 she'll soften up a little ... at least for opening day!

Another great idea form a wise man. All you younger and single men have just been given a world of very valuable knowledge. Pay attention and learn!

Either way it was a good day (week end) for a wedding .... and for Danny!

We can understand exactly what you're saying! Oh hell yeh, never, ever bring it up. She forgot that one time ... you can bet it won't ever happen again.

Just pray you might be as lucky if you were to forget!

When my ex told me what her birthday was , I broke out into a huge grin. She says to me , think you can remember that ? it was 8 - 1 ..... opening day of Squirrel season here. Then I told her it was my moms birthday also.
