Are You Good At Anniversaries?

[Lost Cause]

I mean personal and historic, like these two that just passed without a note:

On July 20, 1969, the human race accomplished its single greatest technological achievement of all time when a human first set foot on another celestial body.
Six hours after landing at 4:17 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (with less than 30 seconds of fuel remaining), Neil A. Armstrong took the “Small Step” into our greater future when he stepped off the Lunar Module, named “Eagle,” onto the surface of the Moon, from which he could look up and see Earth in the heavens as no one had done before him.

He was shortly joined by “Buzz” Aldrin, and the two astronauts spent 21 hours on the lunar surface and returned 46 pounds of lunar rocks. After their historic walks on the Moon, they successfully docked with the Command Module “Columbia,” in which Michael Collins was patiently orbiting the cold but no longer lifeless Moon.

And:
On July 20th, 1973, Bruce Lee is pronounced dead at friend Betty Ting Pei's apartment. The cause of death was offically ruled as "severe swelling of the brain", but is and forever will be shrouded in mystery. Ironically, Bruce Lee says in one of his films, "How can a healthy man die?". That would be the very question all of his fans would ask themselves for years after his unfourtunate death.


I'm always mentally skipping anniversaries for my married brothers, and in the past, vegged on my own wedding anniversary. (I'm free now)


How are you about remembering dates and anniversaries?
Care to tell of a real doozie you forgot?
Are you still reminded of the mistake?

It depends on who's birthday, if I can remember it.

As far as my wedding anniversary my ex would get very upset when I would have to pause and think about what the date was.

But, in my defense, it's no wonder it confused me. We were married on a 16th day, our son was due on a 16th day, but arrived on the 18th. So I had to stop and remember my sons birthdate before I could give our anniversary date.


I sure hope that made sense.. lol I'm tired.

I only had time to skim this thread. And I find it implausible that Bruce Lee died on the moon. Call me a skeptic, but I would like some proof before I believe this particular claim.

Bruce Lee didn't want his relationship with Elvis Presley to get out into the open so they both eloped to Venus.

(Check the hot sheets, man, the truth is in there! )

Lousy at remembering any dates, whether they be birthdays or anniversaries.

Bruce who?

I get told about every important anniversary well in advance so the honest answer is, "I dunno..."

I'm good at family birthday/anniversary dates, but I may forget a friend's birthday here and there. There are just too many of them to remember. I have them written down, but still forget to look at the calendar sometimes if I'm busy.
