Default The Anniversary Gift I Cant Have.

OK OUR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY IS COMING UP AND MY DH KIND OF TOLD ME TONIGHT WHAT HE WANTED TO BUY ME. HE SAW ME GOING GAGA THE OTHER NITE OVER A COAT THAT WAS $1,500.00 AND ON SALE FOR $900.00. USUALLY I WOULD NEVER SPEND THAT MUCH BUT HE SAID HE YOU REALLY NEED A COAT. BUT I KIND OF TURNED HIM DOWN AND SAID IT WAS A NICE THOUGHT BUT BY THE TIME THE WINTER IS DONE IT WONT FIT. SO I TOLD HIM MAYBE HE SHOULD JUST WAIT TILL NEXT WINTER BECAUSE BY THEN I WOULD OF HIT MY GOAL WEIGHT. BUT OF COURSE HE WAS LIKE SO WHAT JUST GET IT. I WAS LIKE NO WAY ITS SUCH A WASTE PLUSE ILL BE UPSET TO PART WITH IT. SO I TOLD HIM ILL JUST GET A CHEAPER ONE THIS YEAR BECAUSE I REALLY DO NEED SOMTHING AND NOW HE IS CLUELESS ON WHAT TO GET ME. SO OF COURSE I HAVE TO THINK OF SOMTHING. HE IS JUST SO BAD WHEN IT COMES TO GIFTS BUT HE DOES TRY I HAVE TO GIVE HIM THAT.

IM SO UPSET I REALLY WANTED THAT COAT

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Yeah I would wait too Boots. I have been buying cheap and little if I can. I feel that if I spend too much on something it wont fit for long. So Ive been trying to make it thru for a while. I dont have a winter coat either. Have to find something.
happy anniversary!!!!!

Boots honey i know what you mean. I have a coat, that my hubby bought me 3 years ago for xmas. Its a long coat that was meant to keep me warm and one I had wanted for a long time. I tried it on the other day. Needless to say I will have to give it away now. Miine is going to a mental hosptial here that takes people without insurance. The reason why its going there is because....... for the last few years around Xmas we will get a patient who is overweight come in with no shoes or a coat. They have slippers on. They are freezing. When asking the people with them why they brought them out like they they always tell us they come in like this. We can give them slippers but nothing more. Last year one lady come in and it was almost Xmas. The nurse was brining her out and told her that she hoped Santa was good to her this year. She said mam if I just had a coat I would be happy. We all just felt so bad. We called the hostpial to see if we could help.

They told us they accept doanations and would love to have some help. They are usually forgotton because its a state mental facility. It just so happened that one nurses mother in law had passed earlier that year. She had all her clothes, shoes, coats you name it still and was gonna donate them to GOODWILL. These were very expenise coats and shoes. They sent a Van to were we work. The others bought gloves and scarfs. A note was sent especially for the lady that we had seen to make sure she got a coat and some shoes. They fit perfectly. The van came back in 2 days when we sent mens clothes from her father in law whom had passed away a year earlier. They went for the men.

Later that year we had a gentleman come in. He said yall know what? Last year when I was in the hosptial yall give me clothes and some shoes. I wanna Thank you.

Sorry when you said this It reminded me of this story. So in the end my coat will go to this place this year. Im gonna have to get me another.

I know my coat will find a good home now.

Well, BOOTS, as a hubby. lol I think you made the right decision. You are very practical though, and that is admirable. Most would just say, I am getting it no matter what. You will have to let us all know what you got instead. HAPPY UPCOMING ANNIVERSARY, and many many more. Mike

Aweee, BOOTS. Why not go for the coat, even if you know it won't fit next year? You could keep it for memories, or, you may even find as fine a home as MsVickie's found, along with the loving and generous heart of yours and your DH's.

My father passed away last year, and Mom, my brother and I are at a loss what to do with his clothes. He was a small man even by Japanese standards, and though all his clothes are good quality, no one seems to want them. I have been told to contact the Salvation Army (which has its HQ here not so far from our home) but Mom is yet to get a move on it, I guess it's still too early for her to start sorting things out yet, my parents were together for 58 years, after all. I wish, though if I could find as fine a place as MsVickie's found.

Ahhh, then ask for something sparkly at the same price, that you can have resized if needs be.
