My sister will be 50 this Oct and I want to give her a great party but she doesn't want the "cliche" over the hill (etc.) parties. I have searched the net but can't find anything that sounds unique and different. This is the first party anyone has ever thrown for her so I want it to be special. The guests will be mostly family, adult and children, and will probably be about 50 to 75 people and last until around midnight. No alcohol will be served. I need theme and game ideas. I want this party to blow her away and give her great memories for the rest of her life. Her interests are simple and there is no artist or celebrity that is her favorite. She does like to watch horror movies but basically she favors reading and sitting on the porch on pretty days. She is a christian. Help. Give me any and all of your wackiest and crazy ideas. Thanks.

My husband of 9 years was diagnosed by his doctor/ sister five months ago as type 2 diabetic. My husband took great pride in his health. Ever since, he has changed. His blood sugar is under control with medicine but it's taken it's toll on him mentally. His sister and I have been sworn to secrecy about this and I am at my wit's end on what to do. For ex: he was off yesterday but had diarreah all day so he more or less laid around and slept all evening until we went to bed. This disease has changed our way of life so tremendously and I have tried to talk to him and support him no matter what but I can't get through to him. He seems to stay depressed but no way will he see a doctor other than his sister, nor will he take any more medicine except for diabetes. He won't open up and talk. He is only 41 but his feet hurt all the time. He did open up once and said Do you know what it's like talking about ED with your sister? What can I do to get him out of his funk before it kills my marriage
