#9259 - 10/28/00 11:06 PM monthly "anniversary"
erickalin stranger Registered: 10/28/00 Posts: 1 Loc: New Jersey, USA	I've just celebrated my 156th month of marriage. After 13 years, I'm still looking for a word to describe these celebrations. "Another month of marriage" works, but I long for a shorter string of characters. Any ideas? Eric erickalin@yahoo.com _________________________ Eric erickalin@yahoo.com

Bridget addict Registered: 06/27/00 Posts: 444 Loc: Sydney Australia	Attempting some backwards-forwards etymology, I come up with 'luniversary'. I suspect this may have connotations which you weren't really looking for, although I find it strangely appealing and possibly apt as a way to mark my own somewhat wayward progress through life...

This reminds me an Italian "joke" mostly for children: since birthday is "compleanno" - and "anno" means year, we can use "complemese"or "complesettimana" for months or weeks - it is not a true word, but it is clear!
