I'm wondering how many husbands would not do anything for his wife on their 10 year anniversary?
My husband knows how important this anniversary is to me, 10 years is a milestone for any marriage but we don’t have just any marriage, we are military and have survive things in the past 10 years most people never have to deal with.
Well my husband informed me we don’t have money for our anniversary, which rely upsets me as he just bought a 46" flat screen tv and a new laptop pc that we did not need. I had told him for the past 4 months how important this anniversary was to me and that I would rather skip Christmas gifts and have a great anniversary, Am I wrong for being this upset? I have saved for his gift for 4 months!
Actually he has never forgot an anniversary and he has always got me something, this is the first time he has ever said he can’t afford a gift and yet bought elaborate stuff we didn’t need


You likely already knew he wasn’t into anniversaries as this isn’t your first one. I, too might be upset but it’s time to realize that he’s selfish and I wouldn’t have saved for his gift for 4 months in the first place just to be let down when he didn’t alter his usual pattern.

EDIT: well, that little add-on information would’ve been helpful to people trying to give you a good answer to your issue.
Quixotic | Jan 10, 2010


He could of held out on the 46" flat screen tv and given it to you as your present. oh I know what you should do…..take the money you saved for his present and buy yourself something that you want.
Rex M | Jan 10, 2010


My husband has done nothing for our anniversary in a very, very long time. Instead of letting it upset me, I have chosen to take a different tact. No cards, no gifts, no big show. We go out to dinner, just the two of us. As we have very busy lives, two young children, and his job takes him out of town all but about four to six days a month, I feel that time together is the best way we can celebrate our marriage.

If your husband has made a big deal of anniversaries in the past, you do have a reason to be upset. Instead of letting it take control of your marriage, arrange a time you can talk about this, let him know how you feel, and let it go.

If your husband has not been observant of anniversaries in the past, just let it go. After ten years, you should know what to expect.
PetMom | Jan 10, 2010


use the money you’ve saved for his gift and spend it on yourself. Book yourself a nice hotel room for the night, go out to a singles bar and get some action. Leave him at home with his new 46" flat screen and go get your own inches.
magictige | Jan 10, 2010


he might be trying to suprise you did it happen yet
lovelonte. | Jan 10, 2010


All you can do is just give him what you are saving for. These kinds of things don’t mean the same to everyone. You can’t make him feel the same way about it as you do. My advice would be to tell him that it is fine that you can’t afford anything and either take the money you saved and buy what you want him to buy you and show it to him and tell him that the items he bought are your gift to him, or don’t spend any money and talk to him and agree that you two should do something nice for one another. Just don’t make this day the end all of ends and ruin your marriage over him not doing as much as you.

A True Story
FairyTale: A True Story (1997)

IMDB rating: 6.20

Plot: Based on factual accounts, this is the story of two young girls that, somehow, have the ability to take pictures of winged beings… which certainly causes quite a stir throughout England during the time of the first World War. Everyone, except the girls who think it’s quite normal, are excited about this “photographic proof” that fairies exist… even the great Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Harry Houdini pay the girls a visit.

Directors: Sturridge Charles

Actors: Keitel Harvey,Salkey Jason,O’Toole Peter,Franks Adam,Witcher Guy,May Joseph,Bradley John,Kavanagh Leonard,McGann Paul,Lesser Anton,Drama,Family,Fantasy,Mystery,

This Is LONG but please help. Would you let him go, or is true love no matter what?
Okay. This is QUITE a story, but I am going to try and put this in a nutshell. I need help. Early this summer I got a new job, my first "real" full-time job. I’m 19, and I worked with all guys. Immediately after starting, I had a crush on the 19 year old cutie upstairs, JD. And instantly clicked and developed a deep connection with a 30 year old coworker, Joey. I’d flirt with JD on a surface level, but my friendship with Joey grew stronger and deeper each day. We just understood each other, and even though outwardly we were complete and total opposites, no one could deny that we were always on the same wavelength. As a result, we talked about everything…..and began talking online every night for hours….just about work and life and our pasts and everything in between. One night about a month after I started, we were talking online while I was house-sitting for a friend who was out of town. It was almost midnight, and he said that he would wanted to come and see me. I was hesitant, but deep inside I really wanted to see him too, so I agreed. He drove down to where I was, and stayed till 3 am. It was one of those warm July nights with stars and fireflies…..we walked around the pasture and I introduced him to the horses. We both laid down on top the picnic table, right next to each other. We laid there talking and laughing and pointing out constellations. That night was like something from an old movie. I will never forget it, because right before he left, standing on the front porch steps, we kissed….my first.For 4 days (which is how long it took me to kiss him again), I could taste and smell that kiss and nothing else. I still wonder if that happens to everyone….After that first night we both knew that what we had was more than friendship, and it was very real. How could two people who who were so different in every other way be so much the same inside, and I began to realize that I needed him.Four days later we met again, this time in a quiet country cemetery close to home. Another fairytale summer night…past midnight….we laid in the grass and stared at the sky and talked until it began to rain and we spent the next 3 hours in his car…..and my second kiss went on and on until we had both run out of air…..I left that night with mixed emotions. I was in love with Joey, there was no denying it. And he was in love with me. Nothing about it made any sense. But it was real, and I knew that whatever it was…..I wanted to keep it forever.The mood at work changed for us, and while we tried to keep it invisible at work, people eventually began to catch on. We continued to see each other all summer, and it seemed like midnight was "our hour". We’ve done everything from watching movies to crazy shopping adventures at Walmart……to just laying on the couch in the dark talking. I have lost count of the times I have fallen asleep in his arms, just listening to him breathe, and feeling his heartbeat. Sometime during the last month of summer, I gave him the only thing I had left that wasn’t already his. He was my first, and I wouldn’t change that for the world.So here it is November. Everything in me loves this man with every fiber of my being, more every day. We are soulmates, we need each other. I know him inside and out, and he knows me too. He had pain and walls from his past and parts of him that he NEVER let anyone see or touch before I came along. The nights I have spent holding him while he cried and let each piece of his shattered heart fall to the ground and each and every day we are both working at picking up those pieces and putting them back together for the first time in his life. It’s a healing process, and he would never have even seen a reason to try if it wasn’t for me. There is a part of him that I have found, the "real" Joey that no one else has been able to rescue . . . and no one else ever will. I have never loved anyone like this before, (and I was in a two long relationships before him, and I thought I was in love then) Nothing like this. I would die for Joey right now and never think twice. He is my life. He is everything I ever could ask for.It all sounds perfect doesn’t it? Like I should throw a happily ever after in there about now….So here is the trouble in paradise. When I met Joey, he was hanging onto a long-term relationship that was about to fall apart. He and his girlfriend Amy have 3 beautiful children, all under 10. I bonded very strongly to all of them early on, back when I first started working my new job. I have spent a LOT of time with them, babysitting them and taking them places. I would do anything for these kids, and love them like they’re mine. They adore me as well….I walk on water to them.At this point, everyone knows what’s going on, except Amy. She knows at this point that we are very close friends, since Joey and I have alot of the same hobbies and we go to shows and conventions and specialty stores and stuff and even take the kids. Amy and Joey are s
Okay this was too long, so for the last 3rd of the story, see the question labeled "True Love part 2" Thank you SO much.


Wow! This is quite a romantic story. Your descriptions of the stars and the pastures made me feel tingly all over. I don’t know how it should end but I know where it should be headed - to a Hollywood movie director. You have the beginnings of a nice old-fashioned romance (horses, the pastures, etc.) At this moment I would put the guy aside, and concentrate on getting a script together. Once you get rich, you can worry about what to do with this guy.

Universal Health Care: Right or Privilege?
Most of the developed countries in the world (and even some of the less developed ones: Cuba, and Venezuela, for example) think that universal health care is a human right that should at the very least be provided to citizens and legal residents. (Check out the DVD Sicko by Michael Moore if you are unclear about the benefits of such an understanding.) The U.S., on the other hand, appears to consider health care as a privilege, which should be taken care of by for-profit organizations, to whoever can pay the associated (and often unaffordably high) costs. As a result, more than a quarter of all Americans have no health care, and live in fear of even non-life-threatening injuries or diseases, which many simply cannot pay for. Should the richest country in the world continue to deny to its citizens as healthy and long a life as the rest of the developed world? (Oh, and by the way, even Cubans live longer on average than we Americans due to their

Ramadan…. Do you know who Imam abu Nuwwas was? and what book Al kashkool is?
This from a book Al Kashkool and it’s a very reliable Shia’a book! and this book contains the GREATEST Hadiths! the writer is one of the greatest Shia’a scholars!!

so what is you idea’s about this:
"Abu Nuwwas {a famous gay in Abbasi’s days} saw a good looking boy so he said (So blessed be Allah, the best to create!) {Surah AL-MUMENOON, V14}

The boy replayed: (For the like of this let all strive, who wish to strive) {Surah AS-SAAFFAT 61}

Abu Nuwwas said:(We only wish to eat thereof and satisfy our hearts, and to know that thou hast indeed told us the truth; and that we ourselves may be witnesses to the miracle.) {Surah AL-MAEDA}

The boy replayed:(By no means shall ye attain righteousness unless ye give (freely) of that which ye love) {Surah AL-E-IMRAN 92}

Abu Nuwwas said:(So make a tryst between us and thee, which we shall not fail to keep - neither we nor thou - in a place where both shall have even chances.) {Surah TA-HA 58}

The boy replaid:(Your tryst is the Day of the Festival, and let the people be assembled when the sun is well up.) {TA-HA 59}

Abu Nuwwas waited till Jumua’a then he went to see the boy playing with the kids, then he said:(to fulfil the contracts which ye have made) {AL-BAQARA 177}

The boy took the lead and Abu Nuwwas behind him till they reached a secret place, Abu Nuwwas gave the boy a Dinar {a coin like $} covered with a paper, the boy thought it’s a Dirham {a coin like cent)

The boy said:(No just estimate have they made of Allah) {AL-ANAAM 91} {YES THEY CALL ALLAH A COIN! A $}

Abu Nuwwas replayed:(A fawn-coloured heifer, pure and rich in tone, the admiration of beholders!) {AL-BAQARA 69}

So the boy knew that it’s a Dinar {a $}

Abu Nuwwas could not said to the boy take off your pants so he told him:(Men who celebrate the praises of Allah, standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides) {AL-E-IMRAN 191} {YES THEY USE QURAAN TO FOOK BOYS! WHAT A WONDERFULL ISLAM}!

The boy understood so he took of his underwear and said:(Embark therein! In the name of Allah be its course and its mooring. Lo! my Lord is Forgiving, Merciful.) {HUD 41} {Enjoying ha unity-fans?}

Abu Nuwwas but his thing inside the boy but it hurt the boy so the boy said:(Kings, when they enter a country, despoil it, and make the noblest of its people its meanest thus do they behave.) {AL-NAML 43}

There was an old many listening and watching them so he liked to have so of the boy so he said:(then eat ye thereof and feed the distressed ones in want.) {AL-HAJJ 28}

The boy replayed:(On no soul doth Allah Place a burden greater than it can bear) {AL-BAQARA 286}

So now is that really the teaching of Islam?

Choking Man

Choking Man
Choking Man (2006)

IMDB rating: 6.30

Plot: Choking Man is an intense blend of psychological drama and magical realism that encapsulates the contemporary immigrant experience in America. Jorge is a morbidly shy Ecuadorian dishwasher toiling away in a shabby Jamaica, Queens, New York diner run by Rick. He works all day long in the shadow of the ever-present Heimlich Maneuver instruction poster which hangs in the diner kitchen. From his solitary kitchen corner, Jorge gropes mutely for a bond with Amy, the newly hired Chinese waitress and even though she tries to reciprocate, the gulf that separates them may be too large. On the job he is continually tormented by his coworker Jerry and at home in his Harlem boarding, under the psychological control of his domineering ‘roomate,’ he battles his inner demons. Set in the vicinity of JFK airport, the most culturally diverse neighborhood in the world, Choking Man captures the feeling of claustrophobia and almost literal asphyxiation newcomers to America experience as they struggle to find a place and purpose in this strange land.

Why do people always insist that the Chargers "choke" in the playoffs?
Or do you think that knocking Payton Manning and the Colts out of the playoffs the last two years in a row is choking?


I don’t know, cause they have
vjr | Jan 11, 2010


Winning the battle of traditional chokers doesn’t mean that your team doesn’t choke.

Or can you tell me how many trips they’ve made to the Super Bowl the past few years, when they’ve had such strong teams?
Gen. Stiggo (Atheati-in-Chief) | Jan 11, 2010


because they’ve never won a super bowl. ever.

but frankly, i don’t think they have ever choked (other than maybe 2006.) every other time they’ve just been beaten by a better team.
redsox1208 | Jan 11, 2010


If you’re favored to win the Super Bowl and you end up being one and done, it qualifies…I.E. 06 season.

Most of the other seasons, this was not the case as we weren’t actually favored, and actually won games despite being underdogs. The last couple times we eliminated the Colts, it was them that choked really…again, it only really qualifies if you are expected to win and you fail to meet expectations and are overestimated.

Making the playoffs numerous times doesn’t mean you are the number one ranked team entering the playoffs, it just means you were better than your division. I seriously doubt anyone expected us to win the superbowl last year with an 8-8 record.
Dr. McNinja | Jan 11, 2010


Have they made it to the Superbowl? Considering the nuber of times they’ve made the playoffs since Rivers has been the QB. I would say they have choked a few times.
ZERO POSSUMUS ARUGULA | Jan 11, 2010


Oakland has had more success in the playoffs than San Diego.
Eric M | Jan 11, 2010


Well,,,, like most teams, if they don’t produce one year it is because they Choke. I dont feel that way, but, I can see why not making it is considered Choking.
Most of the time, a team just gets beat, or beat themselves.

Jim Morrison | Jan 11, 2010


because with as good of a team they have (aka - having the ability to knock peyton & co. out of the playoffs 2 years in a row) why haven’t they made it/won a superbowl? because they "choke." they should already have at least 1 ring. at least.
Katie | Jan 11, 2010


If knocking Peyton Manning out of the playoffs is the team goal, then my hat is off to the Chargers.

Having extremely high expectations to win the big game and failing to deliver is the reason why they get the name.

If just having a good regular season record was the goal, then the Chargers would have never fired Schottenheimer.
OutsideBreaker | Jan 11, 2010


To me choke is what the Patriots did yesterday. Lose to a team you should be able to beat. Have the chargers choked:

Last season - no. They lost to a better team in the steelers.
Season before - No. They lost to a better team in the Patriots, in all honesty they made that game pretty close all things considering that was a pretty good performance.
Season Before - Yes and No. I think the patriots were not quite as good as SD that year, but had more playoff experience and it made a difference in a close game. But SD was at home and did really have a better team(Remember that year the Patriots best reciever was Reche Caldwell who can’t make it on most teams practice squads) - but the Pats defense was good and again more playoff experience made a big difference in that game.

So no I wouldn’t say they choked. Now if they lost to the Jets they choked. But thats pretty friggin unlikely.
JetsUnderPats 14-31 | Jan 11, 2010


I wouldn’t Call it choking. Chargers are a amazing team. But a loss is a loss. No one respects a team that goes to the Super Bowl and loses. They only respect the one who wins. If Ravens don’t take it i’m rooting for the Chargers.
Jeff | Jan 11, 2010


If you look at there times for the last 10 years, they have been loaded with talent and have dominated the regular season. Where’s the trophy from all of that? They have underperformed in the post season the entire decade. Then they have walked away crying about it blaming everybody from the comish to the ball boys for it. This year at least Rivers seems to have matured a bit, Lets see if it is enough.
Parent | Jan 11, 2010


I hate it. I generally hate the term "choke in the playoffs" Every team that makes it to the playoffs made it because they are a good team and deserve to be there. If you lose in the playoffs you lose to a worthy opponent. That is it. If you lose you got outplayed but it doesn’t mean you choked. Those who say someone "always chokes" is bound to be wrong sooner or later because nothing "always happens". Case in point;
Denver "always choked" - yeah until they won back to back Super Bowls
Tony Romo "always chokes in the playoffs" - the Cowboys won yesterday didn’t they?
The Colts "always choke" - yep right up until they won the Super Bowl.
If you hear someone saying that the Chargers will choke because they always do - pay no attention to it. They are either 10 years old or a f-ing idiot.
