We're celebrating an anniversary.
Our 24th wedding anniversary was on January 26. But, we were both sick with a bug that weekend, so let it go by. Now that we're healthy, we're going to go out for dinner and a movie. Pretty low-key, though. We both want to see the movie about Nixon and the Frost interviews. LOL. Not very romantic, but that's what we like. Then, we'll probably stop by the neighborhood pub for some food and a drink or two. We always run into friends or family there, so we'll have fun.
Not on a first date-ROFL!! May want to make that ANY date!
Ewwwwwww!
This was 24 years ago, but on our first anniversary
we went to a really nice Mexican restaurant. We spent our honeymoon in Mexico (Cancun before it was a spring break destination). Most of our bridal party joined us for our anniversary dinner, and we had a really nice time together.
Happy anniversary:)
Happy anniversary:) You do have all day and it could be that he is working on the truck to avoid you since he forgot to get a card or make reservations......if tonight he hasn't done anything-
You two need to work on your communication and expectations. Has he ever been romantic? Ever done anything to celebrate birthdays? He may just not be used to it-that doesn't mean it has to be that way.
Let him know (talk to him not at him) that you like anniversaries to be celebrated. Let him know that you were hurt by his actions and that you want to celebrate this day. Don't forget-you haven't done anything for him yet either-it's not just about him showing you affection or acknowledging the day-it's your responsibility too.
as for the financial problem of him spending the money-that is a separate issue and you two will be a lot better off if you start communicating about your finances and working together on them. Set limits such as any purchase over $XX.XX has to be cleared with each other.
They are, thank you. He will be celebrating 1 year of
sobriety on September 4 and, believe me, that is something to celebrate. While he was not physically abusive, he was still a drunk and they can be hard to live with. He went to work, came home, stayed at home. Didn't drink and drive. Didn't go out and party, but he was still a drunk. His life basically revolved around alcohol but, thank God, not anymore. 
I'll be celebrating!
I start my new job on 01/02/08 and I have holidays off!
It's a non-medical job with holidays off. I'm starting a new chapter in my life, so YES, I will be celebrating the end of a rough, depressing period of my life.
We were not celebrating her death,
once again, I said we were celebrating the wonderful life she had and the many contributions she made to her family and society as a whole.
It's not "gross" at all! I think celebrating the
is pretty special, if you ask me.
How would St. Lucia be for anniversary trip?
I have heard from a few people it is fabulous and worth every penny, but I wonder what anyone out there has heard. I really want a special and very memorable trip because this is our 25th anniversary. Are there any tips anyone can offer? Any insight anyone has would be much appreciated!
Fist anniversary confusion...sm
Me and my husband's 1st anniversary is coming up on December 15th. I want to do something special, i.e. mini-vacation, fancy dinner at home, dancing, etc. I can't decide on what we should do. Can any of you give me thoughts or ideas or even examples of what you did on your 1st anniversary? Any suggestions helpful and welcome!!! THANKS
50th wedding anniversary gifts
they are 68 and 66 years old - a very active, healthy couple. . the date is less than a month away - any gift ideas? It is my fiance's sister and brother-in-law and he is not good at giving gifts and asked me to come up with something.
Happy Chanukah to those celebrating....*S*
 
Celebrating my daughter's 7th birthday!
She was born on Labor Day (isn't that appropriate?).
Celebrating the birth of my first grandchild, sm
born Friday afternoon at 12:37 p.m. They are coming home today, I am heading to their house to help out, my daughter tore a lot during delivery, is sore, so I want to do whatever I can, and enjoy the baby, BTW, a girl, 7 pounds, 15 ounces. Yikes, it's official, I really am getting old.
Celebrating Christmas Poll
Do you celebrate Christmas because...
=> Its a Christian holiday about the birth of Jesus.

=> You enjoy tree, decorations, lights, music, food and all such things
=> Other reasons, please explain ???
30th Anniversary of Elvis' Death this week
I know some of you weren't even born or were toddlers, but for us older folks, I was just curious where you were when you heard the news that Elvis had died.
I was working in a very small factory pasting crystals in a base for radios (gee - what a job that was!) making $1.85 an hour and that was with shift differential. Anyway, I was working 2nd shift & heard the news just as I pulled into the parking lot. My supervisor cried all night and the plant manager played Elvis albums on the overhead speaker all night.
Just thought it would be interesting to see where everybody was.
Not trying to start a pity party, but today is the anniversary of my son's death, just very sad.
My son died 21 years ago today. I just really miss him. I honestly thought the pain would lessen over the years. On a happy note, today is my daughter's 20th birthday, and tomorrow is my son's 18th birthday. When they were little, I was busy taking care of them and planning their birthday party and that seemed to help with the grief and sadness. Now that they are older that has changed. This too shall pass. Thanks for "listening".
Oh, I would have dropped everything! Celebrating 15 years of marriage in June!
Today is my 1st weddding anniversary and my husband didn't spend time with me.?
Today is my 1st wedding anniversary! My husband woke up and went outside and spent all day working on his truck until it was time for him to go work. It has really hurt my feelings. Should I be worried that he may not be satisfied with being married to me?
I missed the show but yesterday on her show
a couple of brothers came in and gave money to the family. Sorry I don't have more info, but like you, I do love the show. The brothers tried to give some of the credit to Oprah but she wouldn't take it. She really wanted the brothers to get all the credit.
How was your date? :) (nm)
xx
This will date me but
I won 2 dance contents actually, one in high school on a local television program and I won a sweater and around age 18 I won a dance contest at one of the night clubs (yes, that is right) around town and I won for dancing the Peppermint Twist and that is the name of the bottle of liquor I won, the Peppermint Twist and heavens knows who made that! If I were able to dance as much now as then, sure would keep that weight down!
Anyone have an up-to-date
Copy of the book "What To Expect When You're Expecting" that you'd be willing to give away? My DIL is pregnant and I think this would be a great resource of information for her. I'd pay to have you send it to me...Thanks ladies!
I'd never date at my age.
I'm 49. If I got involved now with a man, you're looking at taking care of someone in their old age. I don't think it's worth giving up my freedom...in exchange for what? Cooking, cleaning after someone, having to be responsible to someone. Ugh. Been there once for a long time. No desire to do it again. At this age, men are only looking for someone to take care of them.
I'll stick to hanging out with my kids, grandkids, and with the girls.
Help with play date
About a month ago my I took my 5 yo swimming and invited one of her friends and her mom. The two girls played for a good 2 hours until another one of dd close friends showed up so she started playing with him. Well this upset dd little girl friend and she came to me saying "dd won't play with me. make her play with me. " I called dd over and said that we invited suzie over so introduce her to Joe and you all three play together. This just upset dd and made her mad at suzie. I was not sure what to do but suzie's mom said it was time to go anyway so they left.
Well, just yesterday MIL took me and dd golfing. DD met another friend and together they played. The went across the street to the playground then a friend of the other little girl showed up. Well, the other little girl dropped dd and started playing with her little friend. DD got upset adn said sandy won't play with me. I said well, I image you're feeling what Suzie felt when Joe came to the pool. DD just sat there mad. MIL said Introduce yourself to the other little girl. DD did not want to do that. Then MIL said well lets go play on the slide. DD went and played but she was still upset, she walked up to Sandy and said "I am not playing with you anymore not even at school." Sandy replys, "That is okay, I have a sister to play with." MIL told dd not to talk to Sandyl that she wasn't worth it and out loud too. (Luckily Sandy's parents were not there). I just said Oh MIL. I started talking to Sandy. I asked her if she was ready for school. Sandy and I had a nice little conversation. It kind of broke the tension between them. I am sure all is forgotten by now.
I was just wondering how other parents handle these situations. TIA
only if he is rich.......but really I would not date - sm
a guy more than a few years younger. I did date a few guys younger 2-5 years which I realized later was a big mistake (in my 20s). My DH is about 7 years older and works out well.
Did you date very long?
Since you are afraid to talk to him alone, see if you can get him to see a marriage counselor with you. If this marriage is going to end, the sooner you can move on with your life the better.

I have a standing breakfast date...
every Thursday morning with 3 friends. Weekends are mostly family time. My oldest son always comes home from school on Friday night, so we Netflix. This weekend, we were supposed to play paintball, but it doesn't look like the weather is going to cooperate.
Yoohoo? MT who had date with doc? Pls. share! NM
You can probably make-up a date to see a lawyer
because marriage is based on truth. Just tell him you are done! End of story. If he catches you in a lie, that could spell trouble. JMO. 
Take photos yourself with date stamp

not a date thing but still embarrassing
while at a small get togther at a friend's house i was trying to sneak up on the host and take a surprise picture of her all evening. I finally tried to seize a moment when she had her back turned to me. Looking into the camera and concentrating I crept up on her quitely...doing soo well until...I forgot she had been loading dishes and walked into and fell onto the open dishwasher door. Everybody laughed so hard. needless to say I didn't get the picture!!!
they have a date list on the IRS website
If you go over to http://www.irs.gov you can check on when you should get your money. They also have a spot somewhere on there where you can check to see how much you should be getting. You should get your check based on the last two numbers of the main social security number, the bigger the number, the later your check will come.
The common date here in Oz is 1 December,
and then everything down on 6 January. I can't imagine not having a tree until Christmas Eve.
Check the expiration date.

On a date at the drive-in and got in the wrong car
Went to the bathroom and when I came back started to get into a car. Kept wondering why my friend who was also on a date in a car 2 cars away she and her boyfriend were waving their hands wildly yelling no, no. Opened the door and sat in the seat another girl was occupying. Started yelling at my boyfriend cos I thought he had picked up another girl until they said "whose Steve?"
Drive-ins.....okay that goes back to the 70s.
No, to date one can CHOOSE one's treatment.
nobody can force a treatment on you.
The mother has the son's trust, otherwise he would have stayed with the father.
Obviously the father wants to subject the son to this chemo, therefore mother & son ran away.
This boy is going through he** durin this chemo treatment and his mother looks for a less aggressive, accepteable one.
I hope they make it to Mexico...
Hoping you had a great 1st date and wondering if you are still on it???
Details! lol
Our neighborhood sets a date each year for
a yardsale. The neighborhood is still growing, so we usually have a really great turn out. We haven't participated in a couple of years so believe me we have the "junk" to get rid of. I just wish we would do this at the beginning of summer for a little extra spending $ for vacation.
Mine is four yrs younger, but no way would date some young
xx

Can't ever catch a break! Missed court date for
I got a ticket 4 days before Christmas for having an expired tag (had planned to get it taken care of when my income taxes came in - my fault, but crap, I've been broke the whole year!). So I got the tag renewed the next day because the cop said they would be looking again after New Year's to write another ticket (have seen that my city has had a 25% increase in tickets written in the last month - like they need the revenue!). So, all I had for my little one was a PlayDough activity center under the tree $15, and a pink umbrella and some candy in the stocking from Santa. She was happy, though.
I've had that **??@$ ticket next to my monitor to look at it every day for the last 2 months to remind myself to go before the judge and ask for an extension of paying it until Friday when my check comes in. I have literally been living paycheck to paycheck, sometimes with only $8 in my account in between. Well, tomorrow I am scheduled to go to a different court to get a child support order (money I'll never see anyway), and I picked up my big orange folder to put my income tax return in it to take with me. Guess where I put it? Yup, right on top of that **??@$ ticket. Yup, I forgot to go to court last night. Was being bombarded with emails that my accounts could lose power due to the storm and all MTs needed to empty the systems. Now there is an arrest warrant out on me. I talked to a clerk at court and he told me to stay indoors until Friday, then come in and pay to have the warrant removed, then I can get a new date to pay the **??@$ ticket.
Well, I have to go to CS court tomorrow, but at least it is just a short hop onto the interstate and then quickly out of my city limits. If I can just make it till Friday, pay the warrant, maybe my karma will start changing. For the last 15 months, I feel like I am the little kid on Charlie Brown that walks around in a dust cloud. I have seen the inside of more court rooms in the last year than most people see in their lives with getting custody of GD. I must have done something really nasty to have this kind of karma for this long. Oh, well. They say when you're down, the only way to go is up. At least paying to have the warrant removed is less than the ticket and it gives me another month to come up with the money for that. I'm so broke, I can't even get drunk to forget my troubles! Maybe my luck will change by St. Patty's Day 
p.s. I had to edit this message because I used the word s-t-u-p-i-d to describe that ticket and the website wouldn't let me use it, thus the **??@$ symbols !! 
After I got engarged, I played my wedding date on a lottery
and won over $400.00 and then bought a few scratch offs with the winnings and won another $50.00! I also won $500+ at a slot machine with my last 20.00 cash as I was leaving a casino after staying the weekend :) However, this was all over ten years ago and I haven't won anything since :( I AM DUE!
Poll here- my husband is 10 years younger but would you date
someone who is about the same age as your child or have you ever? Watching Dr.. Phil today and seeing 38-year-old woman going with a friend of her sons who is 18. As for me until I married my husband, the only younger guy I had ever dated was only a year younger.
Call the friend back and set up the lunch date.
about. You need a recharge. Do you minimum payments if at all possible on the cards and then snowball it. Cut them up; don't use them anymore! Pay cash for everything.... Save some money each week to do something nice for yourself! Good luck... and Yes, you do matter!
I am in total agreement. 13 years old and wanting to date - no way!!..
One of the problems is, as a previous poster write, is DRAMA. Some girls live for the DRAMA (i come from a family of six girls). These kids (but not all) want to and in some ways are forced to grow up too danged fast and it can lead to life-long problems if they do not have a strong mom/dad or just an extended strong family support system. The media has played and contuinues to play a role in the evolution of our teenagers as well (MTV, etc). That is why it is important to keep these kids busy and involved in activities because it is helpful,. JMO..
i have a date with a doctor fri night!!!! please wish me luck; i am sooo neverous....nm
