oxfordcircus, I have the difinitive answer as to why your wife forgot your anniversary.
I'm assuming that y'all are on the same water system as Jackson/Ridgeland. I've been here on business this week, and this water is hideous, nasty, and disgusting (makes Florida water seem wonderfully tasty in comparison

). It's enough to make anybody forget things.
Hopefully, it will be back to normal soon, and you'll have your regular wife back!
