Invited to a 'Black Tie Optional' event. I don't own a tux and don't plan on renting one. This is an evening ball that is a charity benefit, so it's not work related or a wedding. I don't know anyone there and it's mainly going to be some of the fat cats from the community. I plan on wearing just a plain dark blue business suit. Surprisingly though I don't own a white shirt. Would it be ok to wear a blue shirt with matching tie? I don't know why I'm worrying since we'll only be staying for like an hour anyway and I won't know anyone, but I don't want to stand out. It seems like Black Tie Optional is more or less just telling men to please at least wear a suit and not just khakis and a sportcoat.

Its totally doing my head in to the point that i cant concentrate on what these people are actually trying to say! e.g.

"Obviously i'll talk to my manager but obviously there's nothing more i can do"

None of that is obvious. The only obvious thing is that you are dull! And nobody else seems to have this issue! Am i the only one?? Its actually worse than "basically" i think.

The war had dispatched the soldiers to foreign countries, where they found the circumstances to treat women brutally.

I'm trying to say that the war was partially responsible for the brutal treatment of women.
Thanks!

He's in late thirties. We're not particularly close but I am with the rest of the family, however he came to visit me when I was sick and so I feel I should return the favour. And I don't want to show up empty handed.

He doesn't really have any hobbies so I don't have much to go on.

Please bear in mind its 7pm on a Friday evening here so my choices for shops are quite limited.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks

We finally got it to start but it won't stay running. Replaced the spider injectors,fuel pressure regulator, fuel pump and fuel filter. Runs very rich and choppy with a loud engine knock. Gas comes out of exhaust. When it first died I was driving it and it just quit. No signs, had just put in gas the day before. Don't know why its running so rich or what the noise is. Trying to pay off loan so I can just get rid of it for parts. Any ideas on what the problem may b? We've hit a dead end with a brick wall. Please serious answers only. Selling not an option til paid off dealerships wont pay more than about 500.00 4 nonrunnig vehicle. Need to make it run to sell it and pay to off loan. Thanks for any help.

He said he would keep 60% and I would get 35%, with 5% going towards expenses. Do you think I should hold out for 45%?

Whenever we get into a big argument, my husband always calls his parents and makes me talk to them. He tells them that ONLY I have problems, and that they should talk to me about it. How do I tell him to stop doing it? I feel like it's our life, and if we have a problem, we should solve it between us. But he always brings his parents into it. My husband thinks I'm unreasonable, and that he's always right. He wants his parents to talk some sense into me. He knows I won't yell or talk back to them. I really don't know what to do. We just got into a really big argument the other day, and of course he called his mom and gave me the phone, but I was so fed up with it that I hung up on her without even talking to her. After that, my in-laws called constantly, but I refused to pick up.

Do you think it's necessary for my in-law's to jump in everytime my husband and I argue? Should I feel bad for not wanting them involved in my personal life?

Is it wrong for me to be upset? The first name I was considering, I told my BFF about, then all of a sudden she goes online, searches for baby names referring to them as one she would use for her future daughter, turns out it was the same name. She's not even trying to conceive I don't understand why she's doing this. Then I told another friend about a name, and she tells me it was the name she was going to use for her second daughter but passed on it, now she tells me that her friend who is about to have her baby will use the exact first and middle name. When I told my husband about it he got very upset, he says what kind of friends are these to steal your ideas, etc. I am upset as well but it's something I can easily get over, there are plenty of other names for my baby, this time I just won't tell anyone.

Many people believe that it is unscientific to believe the Bible. If this is true, however, then the following people were unscientific: Isaac Newton, Johann Kepler, Robert Boyle, Lord Kelvin, Louis Pasteur, Matthew Maury, Michael Faraday, Clerk Maxwell, John Ray, and Carolus Linnaeus. All of these great scientists believed the Bible, including the miracles recorded within it. In fact, they were creationists, as were almost all scientists before the time of Charles Darwin, whose Origin of Species was not published until 1859.
