Moose10,

First, thanks again for your service to our country.
Second, disreguard 90% of the past posts. Most of these guys are single (or should be)
Third, 10 year = 10 roses, and ask her to marry you again. Take a shower get all duded up, get on your knee and ask her again after you give her RED or pink roses. Get an arrangement and you can't go wrong.

Okay that was me, I talked to my wife and she said 10 years is the diamond anniversary. If you can at all swing it you need to get her a diamond something. CZ is good if you can't afford the real thing right now. Ear rings are your best bet, but DO NOT skip on the settings, her ears may fall off.

Traditional Modern
1st Paper Clocks
2nd Cotton China
3rd Leather Crystal, Glass
4th Linen (Silk) Appliances
5th Wood Silverware
6th Iron Wood objects
7th Wool (Copper) Desk sets
8th Bronze Linens, Lace
9th Pottery (China) Leather goods
10th Tin, Aluminum Diamond

No appliances for an anniversary !!!!! Washer & dryer says; honey I just love the way you get the racing stripes outa my shorts, will you do that for me for another 10 years. Dishwasher says; here honey use this so you have more time to use the iron. Six shooter says; end my misery now and she probably will if you get her any of the above “gifts” for her anniversary.

How romantic is that!

My wife told me years ago that if it had a power cord attached, it will be wrong.

Gave her a small necklace the other day for S&G's. Must have helped my standing with her. Last night she asked if I needed any parts for the trucks or tractors.

I vote for a necklace.

I'll throw my vote in for diamonds. All the women I've ever known like them. I got my wife a diamond anniversary band for our 5th. Those 3 diamond rings are nice. The stones stand for past/present/future. Combined with a nice dinner and/or a day trip to a spa, if she's into stuff like that, wouldn't be a mistake. Congrats BTW.

Thanks for everyones suggestions and warnings (chia-pet)

nothing says LOVIN like a Harley!

for a gun, we got a Colt .380, 6+1, and mother in law made a "pocket" out of a curtain for it, velcro flap, put gun & holster in, extra clip, no one ever suspects it.

beware Friedmans, they sell more Coal than they do diamonds.
and they are RUDE to my wife, even though we dropped big money.

for 20, i bought the wife a house, new fridge, new furniture, and 8x24 car trailer to move all her crap in. (we retired from the Navy!!! and moved )

keep working on your wife, your career, and your relationship with God, and you'll be celebrating 20 soon!

Note to Mrs. Evil; find Super Bowel Ring before using rubber gloves on Dr. Evil.
