"Flirting With Disaster" was good, too.

Please send banished assholes north and/or east, not south or west.

Why not just get together and do something fun together (e.g., eat cake) without specifically referencing the actual anniversary? Because sending an anniversary card, in light of the divorce, does seem like not the best idea. At least, not if you want him to be happier. Unless you are sure you have one that will make him laugh.
ETA that is sweet, and I think I feel verklempt (sp?), except I'm not sure, because I'm not sure what it means.

Cue the sex in Haiti didn't wear a rubber line.
Bad Idea.
A note from you to cheer him up might be okay, but please please please don't send it to him in an anniversary card. Please. And be careful about writing anything that might send him a mixed message. Just take my word on all of this.
Please. |

I would send him a card or go out for drinks or dinner or something. I should clarify, I mean that I would do something to help cheer him up but not specifically reference the anniversary. |

for the geeks - and you know who you are
Star Wars III Parody - apparently written by Sebby
Star Wars III: A Lost Hope.
JACKSON, Miss. - Yoda's tiny green hand is wrapped around a cold beer, not a lightsaber, as he listens to Mace Windu complain about being the only black Jedi.
The trailer pokes fun at new and old "Star Wars" characters, including Jar Jar Binks, who's pummeled with shots from a dart gun throughout the trailer.
Bullock, 27, a Web site developer and part-time filmmaker, said he is not a big fan of the prequels. He was annoyed by Jake Lloyd, the child actor who portrayed Anakin Skywalker in "The Phantom Menace" — "it wasn't believable to me that that's the cat that is going to grow up to be Darth Vader" — and thought Hayden Christensen was too whiny to be the future Vader.
Link here.

Let me get this straight - sending a card to your ex-husband is a Bad Idea in light of the divorce but getting together to do something fun is ok? You think he won't remember that it's their anniversary?
I know less than anyone about the dynamics of the relationship under discussion here, but one thing is for certain: you can't get into a bitter argument with a greeting card. |

GWNC, your divorce is not at all contentious though, right? Mine wasn't and I still see the ex-Mr. Kiss frequently. We are more likely to be sappy and make out than to fight. |

Fringy just looks for opportunities to eat cake.
BTW, fringy there was a mini-revolt when I suggested that we didn't need to do anything special about at birthday party other than get together. "No cake" was immediately discarded as the delusional ramblings of a deranged mind. I think that there may be an intervention at the party based entirely on the "no cake" suggestion alone.

A card that is specifically in honor of an event that is being legally nullified is weird. They seem to get together and/or talk as friends sometimes; why not now?
It's like, if a friend's only child has died, you don't send a mother's day card. You have dinner with them or whatever to provide company in time of stress.
Possibly she could call his friends and make sure they take him out. Which I was going to say, but didn't.
