the cotton anniversary

each wedding anniversary has some kind of material attached to it. the first is the paper anniversary, the second is cotton, leather the third and so on...

suggested gift ideas for kevlar to the wife are, in order of Kayness, a cotton field, a terrycloth towel, a Kevlar Loves the Wife T-shirt, blue jeans or a box of Q-tips, bulk only...

a complete run down on anniversary materials for marriages of all longevities, well til 80 anyway...

'Cause I am foolish. And I don't need to hear how the cat died on "my" anniversary. I spent a cool two and half hours on the blue jet flying to the country to fetch the cat. Apparently he got caught in a leg hold trap,.. starved for a couple of days and was then poisoned. Crated back to Taichung I kinda thought his pumpkin crate would transform to a coffin. Upon arrival in the Jong he was wisked away to a 24 hour animal hospital on Meichaun. Tomorrow I expect to get a lunch time call.. something along the lines of "Should we pull the plug?". Regardless I'm sure there will be a stupid amount of money involved. I recall hearing some story about a pottery nut job woman who spent 40-60 grand to get her dog or cat treated for cancer. A plastic bag, some rocks and a one way ticket to the canal.. I would have no trouble doing.. but my wife would divorce me or poison my pasta and piss in my cornflakes.

You do know that Taiwanese women don't really care about anniversaries...well, at least mine doesn't.

And with there now being THREE Valentine's Days in Taiwan now (regular, Chinese, and Japanese white day) I have started taking my pick of one a year.

P.S. Once heard something like you will need 150 gifts for your wife in 50 years of marriage - that doesn't sound so bad until you realize they would like diamonds for all of them. Cotton my ass.
