Question:

Beautiful home. I'm not that interested in cars, and driving around in something expensive never made much sense to me :)Today is my husband's 50th birthday, so here is my question:

Terri, it`s okay, I had an idea what you were talking about:)quietly with a significant other, very reserved man.

Judy! my husbans'a 50 just was December 23!!!!! We celebrated at home with several couple of friends. We would do big party, but all our families living in other countries and many friends were out for vacation.
To Michael - depend for reasons and how long, I don't want to be in a prison even with friends. I prefer to see them in other enviroment. So, I go for a room full of strangers (I'm fast to make a new friends also)
WYR celebrate Christmas or New Year?
New Year, a new beginning is always something to be thankful for.WYR date someone who was never on time for dates or marry a person that was always present when not invited?

1000 people would be more effective perhaps in changing the world...a little.WYR when February comes and all looks bleak visit Southern California or Florida for a week?
Well in California, February can be quite cool. So if you're looking for Sunshine/warmth, I guess I'd go with Florida. WYR have dinner with the President and family or with your favorite celebrity (and who would that be?)
With the President.WYR be a grandparent or an aunt/uncle?
