Getting Married…IN LAWS DONT SEEM INTRESTED AT ALL NEED HELP?
So my boyfriend and I have been together for 3yrs now (know eachother four years this march) and we have two beautiful kids together recently we decided we want to get married, so were pretty happy and we want to try and do it all ourselves.. but his family doesnt seem to happy for us.
I know we arent extrememly well off but were doing fine and love makes a marriage work not money, when i told his sister in law we were getting married her response was "how are you going to be able to afford that?", i was shocked because i was hoping for something along the lines of congradulations (mind you me and here dont really get along she is a few years older than me, but she has never given me a chance to get to know her but thats another story). I try to not let her get to me, since im not marrying her. His mother on the other hand she had me change the wedding date twice and i wasn’t happy about it finally i said to my fiance it is my day i am not changing my mind and i am firm!, so we decided to get Married next march.
My mom is happy for us and he helping for some things, but his mom her reaction is hurtful. for the groomsmen they are wearing nice dress shirts and dress pants cheaper but still nice. my brides maids are buying there own dresses but from sears *good prices* and i am getting a grad style dress for myself that is under 500.00. But no matter what ideas i have for our wedding she tries to cheap it down, i understand saving money but this is my day and my money, and her reaction everytime i bring up the wedding or plans in distant and unintrested AND LIKE it doesnt even matter to her at all, he is the baby in his family it should they only have two sons.. and its hurting my feelings yes call me petty if you like but i would love for her to take an intrest in our special day.
everyone was over joyed when his brother got married they had a nice wedding in a church and a big hall nice meal etc.. but it seems like our special day means nothing to his family.. and its really hurtful.. what are some ways i can talk his mother about it and not feel so offended any advice would be helpful
My fiance says he is used to beign treated like this but i feel like he should not have to feel like the black sheep, and i feel like you only get married once they should give us some respect. I am getting the feeling they dont want us to get married… help
That is exactly how they treat us… when we offer to bring food to get togethers they say no thats ok or when we offered to buy my fiances neice a carseat when she was born no you cant afford that its like were not in poverty… thanks
don’t worry about it, just be as positive about it as you can and make your day as special as you can. when they see that their son is marrying an awesome chick they will be happy for them. money is tight for them maybe, and they don’t want to be landed with a big bill.
can you talk to them about it? say, "look, i feel like you are maybe not so enthusiastic about this, is it because you are worrying about money, because you don’t need to worry about money…or is it because you just don’t like me?"
put her on the spot and see what happens
BUT ABOVE ALL, BE super nice at ALL TIMES

Of course they don’t want you to be married. I’ll never forget when I told my sister in law I was pregnant for the first time. Here I was expecting the words, "congratulations - WOW!" What did I get in response but, "what are you going to do?" It was like I told her I only had 3 days to live. It does hurt and in laws can be horrid. You want to keep them out of this as much as possible and not including them really. You can’t expect that you are ever going to make them happy because you have let them down entirely up until this point. For the most part, in laws only care about their traditions and keeping things the way they have always been. Get used to it - because it will get worse. It affects their relationship with your spouse and with your children. How can they show love and concern for your husband and kids when they can’t stand everything "you’ve done?" Yeah - it’s like after the kids got a little bigger they couldn’t understand why I wouldn’t want to include them in our lives by going to church with them and having them babysit and practically living at their house when they can’t stand me - it’s only obvious and always tell me how I’ve kept them from being the relatives they want to be. It’s so sad - but it’s not going to get better. We’ve been married 10 years now and it’s not getting better. The guy has to be worth it and he is so hang in there. You don’t want their money or their help. Who cares if you are the "black sheep." It’s better to have true love with your husband than care about what they think. You can’t expect anything from them. I don’t expect anything from my in laws anymore so when I do get something positive, anything positive, I feel simply overjoyed! You probably won’t get respect, so I’ve learned to be grateful that they tolerate our presence now and then. It’s like - yeah - you want their concern and love and to feel included but you haven’t earned it and guess what? you can’t! You are not the perfect person who followed all of their traditions and rules from the beginning. Your relationship is what it is and if they can’t accept that - it is truly their loss. It’s sad when this happens - but I’m so sorry it can’t be better for you. But, you just have to surround yourselves with positive people who really value your relationship and life together and try not to let them get you down. Yeah - I know - my in laws still tell us not to bring presents to family birthdays because they treat us like homeless people because we are not the upper middle class like the rest of the family. Then, they get upset when it’s our kids’ birthday and I say no presents please. I guess only a millionaire would have been good enough for their poor son who never picked a lucrative career. Oh well, I gave up on pleasing them long ago. Believe it or not - some of the in laws won’t step foot in our home because it’s "too small and not pleasing" enough! In other words - it’s not at least a half million dollar home with 10 bedrooms, 3 guestrooms, with televisions and cable in every room like them. Sorry for the rant, but yeah - it might not get better with time!

So why are you even trying to get these people involved if all they can do is be negative about your wedding? If you and your fiance are paying for everything yourselves, you don’t need any input from anyone. Focus on those members of your and his family who are happy for you and supportive of your plans, and stop trying to win over those who aren’t. You’re only going to run yourself into the ground trying to change toxic people, which - as you should know by now - is impossible.

I know how you feel! I’m with my fiance 8yrs and we decided to get married in sept, he told his dad who just said thats gonna cost a fortune! All his mom said is this person and that person must be invited! Neither his parents or his sister have even contacted me to say congrats or ask anything about the wedding! My response is screw them, let them turn up on the day knowing nowt about it and just treat them like any guest who wasn’t part of the planning!
Their probably worried he’ll look for money from them if they seem to think ye have nowt! DON’T ask them for a cent!! Ye are able to do it on yer own so do and let them suck it, just be super nice at all times and if they bring up the wedding, just say its all in hand nothing for them to worry about!
Saoirse | Mar 15, 2010
Your mistake is discussing any finances or cost of items…..don’t. If they bring up the subject….all you say is ‘We’ve got it covered." refuse to talk about it, none of anyone’s business anyway.
If your fiance is used to be treated this way then there’s nothing you can do to change it…it’s part of his family dynamics and it’s spilled over onto you-call it guilt by association. Just go about your business, Hon…you can’t change them so don’t try….if your family is supportive focus on them and the in laws are well, just the in laws….good luck.
Garnet Glitter | Mar 15, 2010
You know what, you can’t change people. I’d love for my mom to be interested in my wedding, but she isn’t. It hurts, but trying to force her isn’t going to fix it. So I just work with the people who are interested (in my case, my future in laws).
In your case, two things are happening: they know your financial situation and are worried for the outcome. Weddings start expensive and get impossible…fast. It’s easy for costs to add up. And having been around a few weddings I’m sure, they’re thinking they’re "helping".
The other thing is that your fiance has likely always been someone who was overlooked by his family. So instead of seeing him as a man, a father and soon a husband, they barely see him at all. It’s too bad, but there you have it. The best thing for you to do, is ignore them, and YOU give your husband the interest, love and respect he deserves. The only person you control her is you, and nothing you do will change them.
Good luck and congrats.

Can you name any prominent actors who haven't played cops?
I ask this question because it seems like every well-known actor working in Hollywood has portrayed a policeman or detective at some point in his career. It may be a signature role, such as Clint Eastwood in "Dirty Harry" or Bruce Willis in "Die Hard"; or it nay be mere resume padding, like Tom Hanks in "Turner And Hooch." My point is, what is it about playing a cop that makes it the quintessential American movie role? I’d be willing to bet that there aren’t ten steady-working actors over 21 who haven’t played cops on screen.
William Katt, 58 has never been a policeman or detective
Donald Pleasence has never been a policeman or detective

the origins of christmas. should christians celebrate a pagan holiday?
Christmas is a holiday shared and celebrated by many religions.
It is a day that has an effect on the entire world.
To many people, it is a favorite time of the year involving gift giving, parties and feasting. Christmas is a holiday that unifies almost all of professing Christendom.
The spirit of Christmas causes people to decorate their homes and churches, cut down trees and bring them into their homes, decking them with silver and gold.
In the light of that tree, families make merry and give gifts one to another.
When the sun goes down on December 24th, and darkness covers the land, families and churches prepare for participation in customs such as burning the yule log, singing around the decorated tree, kissing under the mistletoe and holly, and attending a late night service or midnight mass.
What is the meaning of Christmas? Where did the customs and traditions originate?
You, as a Christian, would want to worship the Lord in Spirit and in truth, discerning good from evil.
The truth is that all of the customs of Christmas pre-date the birth of Jesus Christ, and a study of this would reveal that
Christmas in our day is a collection of traditions and practices taken from many cultures and nations.
The date of December 25th comes from Rome and was a celebration of the Italic god, Saturn, and the rebirth of the sun god.
This was done long before the birth of Jesus.
It was noted by the pre-Christian Romans and other pagans, that daylight began to increase after December 22nd, when they assumed that the sun god died.
These ancients believed that the sun god rose from the dead three days later as the new-born and venerable sun.
Thus, they figured that to be the reason for increasing daylight.
This was a cause for much wild excitement and celebration. Gift giving and merriment filled the temples of ancient Rome, as sacred priests of Saturn, called dendrophori, carried wreaths of evergreen boughs in procession.
In Germany, the evergreen tree was used in worship and celebration of the yule god, also in observance of the resurrected sun god.
The evergreen tree was a symbol of the essence of life and was regarded as a phallic symbol in fertility worship.
Witches and other pagans regarded the red holly as a symbol of the menstrual blood of the queen of heaven, also known as Diana.
The holly wood was used by witches to make wands.
The white berries of mistletoe were believed by pagans to represent droplets of the semen of the sun god.
Both holly and mistletoe were hung in doorways of temples and homes to invoke powers of fertility in those who stood beneath and kissed, causing the spirits of the god and goddess to enter them.
These customs transcended the borders of Rome and Germany to the far reaches of the known world.
The question now arises: How did all of these customs find their way into contemporary Christianity, ranging from Catholicism to Protestantism to fundamentalist churches?
The word "Christmas"itself reveals who married paganism to Christianity.
The word "Christmas" is a combination of the words "Christ" and "Mass.
The word "Mass" means death and was coined originally by the Roman Catholic Church, and belongs exclusively to the church of Rome.
The ritual of the Mass involves the death of Christ, and the distribution of the "Host", a word taken from the Latin word "hostiall" meaning victim!
In short, Christmas is strictly a Roman Catholic word.
A simple study of the tactics of the Romish Church reveals that in every case, the church absorbed the customs, traditions and general paganism of every tribe, culture and nation in their efforts to increase the number of people under their control.
In short, the Romish church told all of these pagan cultures, "Bring your gods, goddesses, rituals and rites, and we will assign Christian sounding titles and names to them.
When Martin Luther started the reformation on October 31st, 1517, and other reformers followed his lead, all of them took with them the paganism that was so firmly imbedded in Rome.
These reformers left Christmas intact.
In England, as the authorized Bible became available to the common people by the decree of King James the II in 1611, people began to discover the pagan roots of Christmas, which are clearly revealed in Scripture.
The Puritans in England, and later in Massachusetts Colony, outlawed this holiday as witchcraft.
Near the end of the nineteenth century, when other Bible versions began to appear, there was a revival of the celebration of Christmas.
We are now seeing ever-increasing celebrating of Christmas or Yule, its true name, as we draw closer to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ!
In both witchcraft circles and contemporary Christian churches, the same things are going on.
As the Bible clearly states in Jeremiah 10:2-4, "Thus saith the Lord, learn not the way of the heathen; and be n
Good post.
Its basically just Sun worship. On (approximately 22 December, the Sun reached the lowest spot on the horizon and sat on the Southern Crux (Southern Cross - the constellation used to be visible in teh northern hemisphere back in BCE). Metaphorically the sun was "crucified". The sun sat at this lowest point for three days (was dead for three days) before once again moving north (reborn/resurrected) Dont forget at this time everyone thought the earth was flat and scientific knowledge wasn’t abundant.
The virgin birth relates to the suns placement in the Constellation of Virgo (latin for Virgin) when the sun is "reborn/resurrected"
The three kings are Orions belt. Between the three kings and the Dog Star (that big old bright star), they point to the place on the horizon where the sun will be "reborn/resurrected".
As an additional piece of trivia, there is a Buddhist myth that one of the Buddhas was born of a virgin, his mothers name was Maya (similiar to Mary?) and on his birth the young Buddha announced he had come to be saviour to the world. He was also visited by the three kings.

CHRISTmas is about the birth of Lord Jesus, so Atheists can take their pagan holiday and shove it.
poems | Dec 25, 2009
Im not even going to read that novel you wrote. I have to ask though: why do you care, are you jealous that you dont have a holiday
eric | Dec 25, 2009
This question has far too much evidence, logic, thinking and questions. It is too much for Christians.

What if Christmas is the festival of lights which is the invictus solis?
The Prophecy of the Sun and also the celebration of the Candelabra remaining lit.

I’d guess that Christians shouldn’t celebrate a pagan holiday.
Far as I know, what Christians are celebrating at Christmas is the incarnation of their god. The fact that they use some things that pagans also use in their holidays doesn’t make Christmas pagan.
I mean, people use festive decorations, candles, special food and drink, parties, etc for all manner of occasions. This THINGS do not dictate the intention of the heart and the focus of the soul. They are just THINGS.
I am a pagan. Though most of the traditions etc you list above don’t happen to be part of my faith and practices, some of them do…but that doesn’t mean my faith is the same as their faith, just because a few of the trappings and trimmings are the same.
As the old saying goes "a cat may have her kittens in the oven, but that doesn’t make them biscuits"
Mistletoe, holly, and decorated trees are part of the cultural heritage of many people, that is why people retain them, as part of their cultural heritage, not to honor another faith. Even though I am pagan, I observe a secular cultural Christmas with my family

No. no need to celebrate a Pagan holiday. Christmas is just fine. The Lord has come and he will come again.
((((( MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL! ))))))

Millions (2004)
IMDB rating: 7.20
Plot: The UK is about to switch its currency from Pounds to Euros, giving a gang a chance to rob the poorly-secured train loaded with money on its way to incineration. But, during the robbery, one of the big bags falls literally from the sky on Damian’s playhouse, a 5-year old given to talking to saints. The boy then starts seeing what the world and the people around him are made of. Ethics, being human and the soul all come to the forefront in this film.

How much would it cost to build a site similar to…?
Hi, I’m interested in finding out how much it would cost to develop a site similar to what Amazon.com uses.
By no means am I interested in competing with amazon (that would be ludicrous) nor am I interested in developing a site with all the extra features that amazon employs.
These are the core features that would be needed:
- The main CMS platform (ability to add items to catalog, and all the other cms abilities)
- Have a marketplace environment (like amazon’s: allows people to sell their items that are listed in the catalog, and allows buyers to buy from them or my company)
- User rating system similar to amazon’s (for sellers and buyers)
- Drawing commissions on transactions between sellers and buyers
- Support features (administration)
I know that Amazon was started for about a million dollars, but again, I am interested in only the core features that are needed.
The site would geared toward a very targeted audience, a small but active niche that is in need of a community like the one i am proposing

What is a factotum ?
A factotum is a general servant or a person having many diverse activities or responsibilities. The word derives from the Latin command (imperative construction) fac totum ("do/make everything").
