Once most innocent, "Virginal" still,
even through the swirls and swill
Is this some Goddesslike sense,perhaps
ever insisting through each time lapse?
Rose petals scattered down a hall;
lipstick writing scrawled on a wall;
inviting, should I then explore
silent, or burst, through the bedroom door?
Hair on the pillow wildly splayed
should I challenge, or be afraid?
Would I be thought much less the man
to answer, or alter, your grand plan?
To "celebrate" might be best left to children
but I still want to, and hope I'm forgiven.
It's just a day in so many surrounding,
but as a romantic I hope to be drowning.
Give it up for those hearts and flowers guys
that so many shop for, last minute and buy.
Be aware that the sentiments are so often meant,
they just can't be poured out like so much cement.
Get a joyful look on, if you have someone
if not, do it anyway, allow others that fun
share if you will, in that love does exist
and I know love not found can still be missed
How will you celebrate V day?
and I know love not found can still be missed
I like it. I am going to write a lovely piece for my sweet.

Not one of my "brightest" pieces...?
I would appreciate your comments in the assistance of the path that this piece shall follow.
Please?
Peace %26amp; Love,
Sam
"A soaked covered mattress houses one score
Feathered covered softness shelters the dread
Wondering if life can take anymore
Dreams of tall soft meadows travel in
A disconnected gaze upon shadow walls
Dark waters depth never shallow
Crimson red darkness sprinkles Opaque white veils
Death hidden within the center of the flower’s head
A land of wonderment set before your eyes
Moments of the now carried in to the future
Vails of awe, remembered dread
Childish thoughts within dreams"
Not one of my "brightest" pieces...?
I'm sure the first three lines are somehow connected in your mind with the rest of the poem, but it feels disconnected to this reader. It 's like something you just happened to see on your way to the rest. Lines 4 through 6 need to be reworked a little. I like the last 6 lines; they could actually stand alone.
Reply:Hi. With all due respect, this is the first time I've read a submission by you, but I feel like I wanna scold you,,,as a parent, or mentor?
If the initial statement of the Q was an apology,,,STOP IT,,,NOW!
I suspect anyone in the crafts, might be their own, Most harsh critic, but one shouldn't allude to "Gee is it OK, I wonder?" Consider the song by QUEEN,,,"We Are The Champions".
With even more respect, a child wetting a bed, hiding it, and dreading possible consequenses is impactful, certainly, and most epecially when it's hidden. ASSUMING that's the anaolgy??? Did I OOPS??
I'm a relative "newbie" to this category, but not the craft. I enjoy metaphor and anaology, and TOTALLY understand the dreams of a child. I still recall my worst, from 60 years ago.
I also try hard to decline RATING anyones work, as I feel it's so similar to trying to convert someones political, or religious beliefs to my own...OR even convince you that RED is better than GREEN.
The insistance of other anaologies, IE: Blood, might mean I'm way off base? If so, forgive my interpretation of events and "baggage"

Reply:Oh, well, I only want to read your brightest pieces!
I am joking...
There are good images in the first lines, but it is slightly "disconnected" (although I like this line: "A disconnected gaze upon shadow walls", because it uses concrete imagery). "Wondering if life can take any more" is somewhat abstract for me. But the line I really like is: "Moments of the now carried into the future". Probably because I like "moments of the now"....
vails: veils or wails? Changes everything.

How is this poem.....................?
In a sunlit garden
I raised beautiful flowers
three were roses
Three beautiful roses
sprouted from hopeless seeds
my special roses
I kept dear in my garden
Among them, on I deeply admired
she was most bright and brilliant
radiating its sunny love in my garden
Too much for a weak soul like mine
I grew withdrawn from its presence
watching after it from a distance
As I moved farther away,
the rose grew sad and cried
as the wind blew us apart
Its tears moisting the soil
Its eyes looking toward the sun
where other gardeners
in greed and envy
snatched her away from me
As for the second rose
its roots were never really in my garden
At the slightest distraction,
other boundaries crossed mine
and now possessed her
With a lesser and emptier garden remaining
I looked to my last rose
Though not as pretty as the others
she had a firm grip in the soil
I drew her closer to me
A cold stone wall built
around the garden now graying
freezing all intimate feeling
She could not bear the chilling wind
and went elsewhere
Now I stand
in my once sunlit garden
an empty spot
I sleep in this
cold and deserted graveyard
which I built in my heart
How is this poem.....................?
Wow! This poem is so beautiful! It has really touched my heart. To be honest, a few parts didn't flow perfectly and in the fifth stanza the word moisting should be moistening (sorry to be finicky!) but this is better than a lot of published poems that I've read! Thank you so much for sharing. You definately have a new fan!
Reply:This is superb! I couldn't stop reading it - waiting to see what was next to come. Written, nice and tightly. Again, great poem. Thank you for sharing.

Will I be entitled to compensation?details inside?
My home borders a railroad track out in the country.About 3 years ago,the RR replaced all the ties,left several HUGE piles,hundreds,maybe thousands of them on the other side of the RR track.Since then,I ,and my wife,have had rashes,breathing problems,and I have been diagnosed with cirrhossis(never drank,no hepatitis)and several blood disorders.We have also had a devil of a time with this "black soot"looking stuff,all in the ac filters,ceiling fans,walls.It's been driving us crazy,as we are neat freaks.I finally called an "air quality specialist"who came out,said it wasn't mold,and beyond his scope.His guess was the pile of RR ties.He put me in touch with the EPA,who sounded VERY concerned when they questioned me and are going to send agents out to test the air,soil,and water.O.K.,Background over.My question.
This home is my LIFE,I have blood,sweat,and tears in every board in this house,every flower and fruit tree in the yard.My imagination is going wild.
Will I be entitled to compensation?details inside?
If all that proves true, you have a helluva case.
Those ties are soaked with creosote and possibly other chemicals.
Take lots of photographs, note dates and times from the beginning.
Any neighbors affected?
Good luck.

Joke! Please Star if Funny!?
A gentleman on a flight to Atlanta had a serious problem. He had made several attempts to get into the mens restroom, but found it to be occupied.
The stewardess noticed that he was walking funny, taking small steps, and had a look of pain and anxiety on his face. Sir, she said, the ladies restroom is unoccupied. You may use it if you promise not to touch any of the buttons on the wall.
He was about to pop, and would have promised anything, so he agreed to her terms. The relief was pure joy, and as he sat there, savoring the feeling he noticed the buttons he had promised not to touch. Three white buttons were identified by the letters: WW, WA, and PP, and there was one red button labeled ATR.
Who would really know if he touched them? He couldnt just sit there and resist a challenge like this, so he pushed the WW button. Warm water was sprayed gently upon his bottom. Such a nice feeling came over him. The mens restroom didnt have nice things like this.
Anticipating even greater pleasure, he pressed the WA button. Warm air replaced the warm water, wafting and swirling about, gently drying his underside. He knew what he was going to do when the warm air stopped, and without hesitation, he pressed the PP button. A large powder puff caressed his bottom, adding a fragrant scent of spring flowers to his unbelievable pleasure.
The ladies room was far more than a restroom; it was a place of tender, loving pleasure! He could hardly wait for the powder puff to quit. When it did, he pushed what he knew was going to be the ultimate joy.
He knew he was in the hospital as soon as he opened his eyes. A nurse was staring down at him with a smirk on her face.
What happened? How did I get here? The last thing I remember, I was in the ladies restroom on a flight to Atlanta!
You pushed one too many buttons, replied the nurse, as her smirk expanded to a grin. That last button marked ATR is an automatic tampon remover. Your penis is under your pillow.

Still nothing?
I told everyone on here yesterday about me and my wife. We had been trying to have a baby for a little over a year and finally she got that phone call that said she pregnant and cried for hours. Then painted and decorated the spare room and baby proofed the entire house. She had a miscarriage not so long ago and hasnt gotten up much or even talked. I brought home flowers, made dinner, and wrote a letter to her telling her how much I love her and us. She just kissed me on the cheek and went back to bed. I can't get a response out of her and she just stares at the wall with her head buried in the pillow. My main concern is her mental stability but she refuses to see a doctor. I'm trying to give her her space but it's killing me to see her like this.
Still nothing?
Wow...that almost made me cry. I answered your question yesterday, I'm sorry to hear things aren't getting any better. Just remember it takes time. You sound like an awesome husband! Give yourself kudos for that. I hope your taking some time to grieve for yourself. Her body is probably still adjusting as well as her mind. Women feel very connected to they're children even before they are born. She lost a part of her, and you lost the chance at being a daddy for right now. You still have your future together and you will always have the chance to try try try again when the time is right. Keep your head up and smile. Sounds like your doing your best to try and keep her spirits up. Best wishes to both of you.
Reply:I'm sorry for you and your wife. My husband and I also went through a miscarriage and I acted alot like your wife. I was very depressed and emotional. I didn't want to talk to anyone including my husband who was so supportive. It took me about 6 months to really get over losing our baby. I still think of it to this day. It's harder on the woman and it's so easy for us to blame ourselves. Just remain supportive and let her know she can talk to you. Having someone to talk to can help. Having a miscarriage is painful because you don't really get a chance to say goodbye. One minute your'e pregnant and the next your'e not. It's hard and she may never get over losing the baby. What really helped me was information. More women have miscarriages than people think and finding support from women who have been through it can be extremely helpful. I wish you and your wife good luck in the future.
Oh and most women who miscarry go on to have healthy pregnancies in the future. I know this to be a fact so keep your head up. Good luck. Your wife is very lucky to have someone like you in her life.
Reply:She is still grieving.
You are doing everything you should be.
You can call the doctor yourself and tell them what she is like and what is going on with her. They might be able to do something.
Be patient, she will come around.
She knows you love her and she loves you.
Reply:its normal for her to be upset but she needs to realize that it wasnt just her baby it was yours too and you are also upset. if she is not dealing with this then you need to put her butt in the car and drive her to her dr.. for a check up... srry about the baby i know this is a tough thing to deal with..
Reply:Oh no.. I'm sorry on the bad news. She is probably..or obviously devesated at what happened. Depending on how long ago it happened? But stressing out is no good not only for her but for her body! It seems that your an awesome guy and have tried everything from being a best friend to a romantic hubby. I would try to give her her space a little bit long and if it doesnt work then try seriously sitting her down and talking to her. Let her know that God is on your side and to never say never, your time will come and she will get the little baby she wants. Good luck!
Reply:She needs help from you and a professional person as well when I had my miscarriage it took over everything I felt like I could move on like I had done something to cause my miscarriage hold her cry with her tell her to tell you so that you can understand just promise to be patient with her
Reply:Thats really really sad...im sooo sorry that happend to yall.......if i was you id greive with her...jump in bed get a love movie and a big box of chocolates and some ice ceam and go at it....you need to both talk about it and not shut each other out....tell her you love her and that maybe this is gods way of saying you have more time to love on each other before you love on someone else...(meaning the baby) you both have a lot to deal with you might even try running a nice hot bath with bubbles and candles ...and maybe when she starts feeling a little better buy her some nice sexy outfit and have her dress up...itll happen...goodluck to you i really hope your wife and you start to feel better and get pregnant soon ...lots of baby dust on both of us!!!!
Reply:No Dr can cure that kind of pain only time can cure it . Just love her and be their for her ..... all she needs is time and you .
Reply:She needs time to grieve, and you are doing the right thing.
Keep giving her the support she needs, and keep reminding her of how much you love her.
If she doesn't start to feel even a tiny bit better after a few weeks, suggest that she see a therapist, or even suggest she confide in a friend or relative, if she doesn't want to talk to you.
Give her space, but if she gets any worse, or if she doesn't get any better at all in the near future, start trying to get her to talk to someone.
I'm sorry for your loss. Good luck and God Bless.
Reply:Leave her alone she is grieving. Some people take a long time. Besides a miscarriage is hard on a woman not only emotionally but physically. The body was geared up to prepare for a birth and now that birth is not going to take place. It's kind of like slamming the brakes on in a care going 100 mph down hill.

Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, "They're identical twins! If you've seen Juan, you've %26gt;seen Ahmal."

Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. He went back and begged the friars to close. They ignored him. So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town to "persuade" them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close up shop. Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that only Hugh can prevent florist friars.

The French will eat almost anything. A young cook decided that the French would enjoy feasting on rabbits and decided to raise rabbits in Paris and sell them to the finer restaurants in the city. He searched all over Paris seeking a suitable place to raise his rabbits. None could be found. Finally, an old priest at the cathedral said he could have a small area behind the rectory for his rabbits. He successfully raised a number of them, and when he went about Paris selling them, a restaurant owner asked him where he got such fresh rabbits. The young man replied, "I raise them myself, near the cathedral. In fact, I have ... a hutch back of Notre Dame.

My hanging baskets?
Have been a little disappointing this year as they look pathetic to say the least. Living in Scotland I always plant mine up a few weeks later that elsewhere in the UK so normally the flowers are still in full bloom at this time of year. But not this year. So I would like to ask could it be the type of compost I used (I think so)! And also what compost do you use for your planters , hanging baskets and wall baskets.
Thank you1
My hanging baskets?
Perhaps its maybe because it seems to have been a lot warmer up here this year (I live in Scotland too) so the baskets could have dried out faster. Its often best to line them with something to hold in the water (obviously with drainage). Another option is that you haven't fed them enough. I plant my baskets using a growbag and then I regularly feed them with tomato food. Another really good option if you live near the coast is to get a few strings of seaweed, really wash it well to remove the salt, and then cut this up and plant it amongst your flowers. Really good and economical way to keep them well fed!
Hope this helps....

Reply:Usually one of three things will make your hanging baskets all droopy looking; fertilizer, water, sun.
Of the three, the one that is most important is the one causing your problems. If your baskets are in various locations, both shady and sunny, then it is water or fertilizer. If the plants are nice and green looking, just wilted, it is not fertilizer. That leaves water.
If your plants are root bound, or pot bound, where the roots have basically taken over the space of the soil, then they suffer from a lack of water renention to hold them until the next watering. If that is the case, bigger pots, or breaking up the amount of plants per container will help. If you have begun using a different type soil/compost than previously, then it could be a combination factor, water retention and fertilizer for the roots to take up.
The best way to determine what is the problem or reason, spread out some newspapers, or a cloth and dump out the plant and soil mixture and inspect the plant's root system. You can tell at a glance if you have a plant struggling with a small pot, or just one that dislikes what you used to plant it in. Most hanging baskets will begin to fill up your hanging baskets with roots about the time the flowering is finished, just in time to either dump them, or repot for fall growth.
Good luck with what you find :)

Want to go on a journey into the imagination?
Take five minutes to read the following, close your eyes, take a deep breath, relax and imagine this - then see what your mind produces :
The garden is a warm, sunlit colourful, peaceful place.
Imagine it: a big garden full of plants and trees and flowers. At the end of the garden there is an old summerhouse. You go inside and find a gold key. It's a big, heavy key and when you take it outside the sunlight sparkles on it like a thousand diamonds and you realise it's magical. As you look towards the old brick wall at the end of the garden you realise a big door has appeared......its very old and you KNOW that key fits in that door.....
Do you go through it and see what is on the other side?
What will YOU find on the other side?
Enjoy the visualisation
And ten points to the best descovery!
Want to go on a journey into the imagination?
My heart races as I hear the pins clicking into place as I fit the key in the door. For a second, just a split second fear enters my thoughts. However, my curiosity is too great. I turn the key and am delighted at the winter wonder land behind. It is surreal to see on one side of the door is beautiful garden straight out of the "The Secret Garden" and the other is is a rolling meadow littered with pine trees covered in snow.
There isn't the slightest bit of frigidness coming from inside. I am still wearing shorts and a tank top but can't find even one goose pimple. The silence is sickening. I think for a moment that I have lost my ability to hear. As I take the first step in I hear the thousands of snowflakes crushing under my foot as if it were a skyscraper falling onto thousands of people.
O.K. that's enough I need to get back to work. Thanks for the journey though.

Could this affect hormonal system?
Well, a couple of years ago, in 7th grade, I remember me and my friends were chocking each other, like one guy is on the wall, the other one pushes on their neck, and in like 10 seconds, you fall on the ground and you feel like a buzz, you are doing something but you dont realize it, I remember once, I started running through the hallway like a moron, I didn't realize it, and when I woke up I was like: Why the **** am I running like a Jackass? and sometimes you fall and you are kind of dreaming, Like I dreamt I was a squirrel, and I dreamt I was was flying over a pile of nice flowers...Its actually a fun experience, but what I was actually doing is blocking oxygen to my brain...so how did that affect my brain, except dead cells, I dont care about them, as long as I am functional, I dont care.
Could this affect hormonal system?
wow. not exactly a fun game in my mind, but i can see what a rush it might give you. you're young; you need to be more than just functional. people who smoke weed are just functional (if they're lucky). you've got life ahead of you. and that involves a lot of things, most of all a clear mind. who knows what problems this activity might cause? I shouldn't think hormonal problems would be one, but you never know. you're in school, you're an adolescent, and there's a big world waiting for you out there--you need all the brain cells you have.

My wife refuses to give me any attention after 11 years of marriage. Should I stay & keep hoping or just go.?
We are married 11 years %26amp; we have 3 wonderfull kids. Our 6 year old girl has problems (was diognosed with depression %26amp; we were both at each others throats %26amp; then she got pregnant with twins. Had sex 3 times that year %26amp; we were cut off in the middle of the last time we had sex. She got pregnant %26amp; I made the mistake of saying are you sure it was mine because I have been cheated on in other relationships. I snapped out of that mode, changed my attitude but she put up a wall toward me %26amp; ever since has told me that she cannot trust me. That was 4 years ago , I have never cheated %26amp; I love her %26amp; my twin boys so much. She refuses theropy. She doen't give me any attention I feel unwanted. She says she wouldn't blame me if I cheated on her. We have sex but she never starts it. I buy her flowers, gifts treat her great.
She says shes not sure if things will ever change. Should I stick it out or find another relationship. What should I do. I love her so much but she won't open up, 4 yrs help
My wife refuses to give me any attention after 11 years of marriage. Should I stay %26amp; keep hoping or just go.?
I wouldn't just "go" but I wouldn't just hope either. Hope won't change a thing. She seems very tortured. My guess would be that a parent or parents were alcoholic or abusive. My suggestion would be to make an appointment with a counselor, and tell your wife, and ask her to go with you. Tell her about the appointment after reviewing your situation which you've just described. Let her know that you are concerned about her and your relationship and that you really want her to go. If she goes, there will probably be quite a wall for the counselor to break through and she'll need to go as an inidividual.
Put the money for gifts and flowers in you pocket they won't do anything for her because deep down inside she "knows" she is ugly, worthless, and an overall bad person.
Reply:Move on, Do it for the children. They should not grow up in a home without love.
Reply:u r doing ur best now its her chance try 2 talk 2 her and ask her what she really wants
Reply:life is too short to wait and you have been wasting too much time, be a hero and find yourself a new life.
Reply:you both need to go to couple's counseling. if she refuses then you need to explain how important physical relations are in a marriage. if she won't budge, then ask if you can go outside of your marriage to get some.
Reply:things won't change. what you see is what you get. leave before you get sick and get your children sick as well. this isn't healthy you need to move on.
Reply:Her whole attitude changed b/c of what you said? I find that hard to believe. I mean, I would be mad that you said that but - I think there is more to the problem then you are letting on.
I think you should try to stick with it if you love her so much. Let her know that you are going to be by her side thru the good and the bad. Good luck!
Reply:If she refuses therapy and is not prepared to meet you even halfway with your needs it is time to rethink your relationship. Explain how you feel to her (if she will let you without blowing up) and try as hard as you can to mend things but if the answer is still the same it is time to move on. Don't waste your life being a martyr it is too short to throw away.
Reply:So sorry to hear that! I think from the sound of things she may have given up and if she is refusing counseling then maybe you should go your own way. Women r so difficult I know i am one..Have you tried communication..that is so important to women BUT make sure you r the listener..and dont talk unless she ask u a question..or pauses and looks like she needs feedback..Good luck to you!
Reply:What is her problem?? u made one comment 4 yrs ago, I wouldn't' cheat on her because 2 wrongs don't make a right
no matter what some people may say. my advice just get a divorce and move on so u can begin to heal, because as long as your with her that will not happen. u don't mention how old u r, this also is a factor. If u r older I can understand u staying, but if u r younger, move on with life. u need to live not exist. u need to set her down and tell her what u r going to do and why, u owe it to yourself. and remember, u will get to see your kids so don't let them be the reason that u stay, u owe it to yourself for a normal life with a loving wife. also if u want 2 try some more 2 make it work I suggest going to counseling. If she loves u she will go, if not there is nothing there 2 save. I wish u the best and hope things work out for u.

Do you still not believe ? if so why?
19- He has let free the two seas meeting together.
20- Between them there is a barrier which they do not transgress.
55-Gracious, 19-20
A famous French oceanographer, J. Cousteau, gives the following account as a result of his studies in water barriers: “We studied the assertions by certain researchers about barriers separating seas, and noticed that the Mediterranean Sea had its own salinity and density and housed autochthonous fauna and flora. Then we examined the water of the Atlantic Ocean and discovered features entirely different from those of the Mediterranean Sea. According to our expectations, these two seas that merged in the strait of Gibraltar should present similar characteristics in terms of salinity, density and other properties. The two seas presented different features even though they were adjacent. This greatly puzzled us. An incredible barrier prevented the two seas from coming together. The same sort of a barrier had also been observed in Bab Al-Mandab in the Gulf of Aden connecting with the Red Sea.
Subsequent to our observations, further researchers made it clear that the seas which had different characteristics had some barriers.” This fact that astounded oceanographers was revealed 14 centuries ago in the Quran. This aspect, not visible to the naked eye and appearing to be in conflict with the properties of water known to man, was first revealed to men in the Arabian peninsula, men who were not at all experienced in any sense with oceanography.
The barriers between adjacent seas demonstrate a rich diversity, a result of the perfect planning of God. Wherever we turn our gaze, the complexion of human beings, the infinite diversity of flowers, etc., demonstrate the marvelous diversity of God’s creation. The Quran refers to the waters that do not coalesce. This is because of a physical characteristic called “surface tension.” Thus, neighboring seas present different densities, salinity rates and compositions. These differences enable media that permit different species to coexist. Thus, fish, plants and microorganisms living under water present untold varieties. Water, that usually mixes easily, can turn into a wall thanks to God’s imposition and operation of physical laws, contributing to this variety. This fact is not affected by strong waves and currents. This property to which the Quran refers is a miraculous statement unknown at the time of the Prophet and presents clear evidence for the man of understanding.
53- He is the One who has set free the two seas; one is sweet and palatable, and the other is salty and bitter. And He made a barrier between them, a partition that is forbidden to be passed.

Waters experience a different set of minerals and sediments, animal and plant biologies, all according to their regions and salinity, and temperature. I would expect water to be different coming from the Pacific rim and that of the Atlantic, DUH!
So none of this is really spectacular. Because eventually, they become like each other and mix. What you are not taking into account is the fact that they exchange. They do not stay separate, unless land keeps them from being so.
There are even pools of water sitting at the bottom of the ocean. They do remain, but eventually there is an exchange. It's a process, not a prophecy of Muhammed.

Ok how does a relationship end after just seven months with no stated reason?
We started in may and it was okay. No one really wanted us to be together so there were constant rumors of me cheating on her or her cheating on me. She's been hurt bad before so i dont blame her for some of the mean things she does. When we started she told me she expected me to cheat. Starting me off against a wall already. We would say horrible things to eachother and people heard that and would say our relationship was weird. But the way we showed eachother was nice we wrote letters to eachother and i get her cards and flowers to assure her that im here for her. But i guess one day she let the rumors get to her and she ended it. She wont tell me why. She'll say she doesnt love but she cant look at me to say it. she says shes moved on but she cant tell me who. She wrote in a letter that she couldnt look me in the eye because of how she felt. The way she presented it seemed like love. She still cant look at me and when she does she looks away as fast as she can.
Ok how does a relationship end after just seven months with no stated reason?
She won't allow anyone to love her, cause she doesn't love herself.
If she told you point blank at first you shouldn't have gotten involved.
You can't fix her boo boo. She has to deal with it and heal herself before she is ever ready for another realationship.
She also has to forgive herself for getting used and hurt.
She has to let go of the past, otherwise she will pigeon-hole every man in her life as being the same moron that ditched her.
This is a battle you will never win, you have to get on with something else and not waste anymore energy here trying to understand.
I think after your tumultuous relationship with her, you have a different perspective on what some relationships are all about.
That last one with you two was not normal, cause she doesn't know normal, but I am surprised you stooped to her level.
Perhaps a little more kindness and normalicy in your next one would be of benefit to you.
If you live in the hole with them you become a cave dweller yourself in short order.
Reply:With her history, I'll guarantee she's been unfaithful from the start. MOVE ON! (and get an hiv test)
Reply:life is very wierd sometimes. there can be peer pressure or may be commitment phobiac habits. just move on in life
Reply:Sounds like a toxic relationship to me. Do you really want to spend a life of games and angry words?
My feeling is she already has another dude and that is why she doesn't look you in the eye. The most jealous and accusatory person is the cheater themself--remember that.
I sense you are pretty young and such relationships seem all the more attractive in their tension. The truth is they are bad relationships. Don't let her Karma bring you down. Find another relationship that feels "Good", you might be surprised you ever went out in the first place.
Reply:There's something in her past she doesn't want you to know about. She would tell you if she thought you could handle it and what not, but you might not ever find out. I think she's trying to protect you. Just let her know that you'll love her regardless and be there for her. When she's ready to tell you, she will.
Reply:This is a head game. She is needy and you cannot fill up a well that has a gaping hole at the bottem. You are not her therapist. If she is so hyper sensitive to being dumped or cheated on or treated badly, then why is it ok that she handle it this way--without any explanation? I believe she wants you to run after her begging and crying. Don't do it. Be a man and let her go. She will come back but do you really want someone like this? Do you?
Reply:I have sat here and thought about why she would do this. I havent came up with a single reason. She sounds scared a little, but arent we all? I honestly think you need to move on. If she wishes to rekindle your relationship in the future she will. If you persue this more, she may never be open to rekindling it later in life.
I think you gotta just let it go for now. Let her have her space and you take some time too. Date other women, get outta the house and mingle.....see if your feelings change for her.
She may be the one for you, but you need to give her the oppurtunity to see if you are the one for her.
Time will tell.
She will be back if you are the one.
Good luck.

When Was the Last Time You Praised God for a "SEEMING" Disappointment?
Job 35:10 "God, my Maker, who giveth songs in the night."
It is easy to sing in the daytime when all is well and the wind is stirring and the flowers are made bold. But can we sing praises at night? Can we praise God for all the unknown, all we can not see, for all the uncertainty...?
What is your "night time" these days? What are you struggling with, desiring and not receiving? My desire is for a child, but we keep running into one brick wall after another.
I am trying to praise God that I can not get pregnant, because if he has not allowed it to be so, then it must be for the best. But it is a hard praise to sing.
When was the last time you praised God for what He has not blessed you with?
When Was the Last Time You Praised God for a "SEEMING" Disappointment?
Your right to praise for those things that are hard, that we don't understand. That is why is called a sacrifice of praise. Because sometimes it is just that.
I struggle with my unsaved children and the desire not to see them lost. I praise God that he has given them grace every day to still be here and have time to make a choice. There are many things in my life that I praise God, when it has been so hard all I want to do is cry out WHY Lord, this hurts. But I know that I have Jesus praying for me. How can I get down and stay there when He is praying for my best.
Continue to pray for a child. God will fufill you somehow. Take care, and be blessed in Jesus.
Reply:I'm sorry for your troubles, but I don't think you're going to get the answers you are looking for in this section. there are going to be no straightforward answers which directly answer your question. good luck and keep trying see an herbalist, they can do wonders too.
Reply:Amen to your question. I totally need to share on this one. Remember Sarah who laughed when God told her she was going to have a baby at her age? Then she really did give birth to Issac. Remeber Hannah who cried because she was barren and could have no children and then Eli came and found her and told her she would have a child a year from that time and she did give birth to the great prophet Samuel. And, remember Zechariah and Elizabeth in Luke 1 who were without child and then an angel came to them and told them they would be the parents of John the Baptist at their old age, and they did. Don't be afraid, just believe! As for me, my world is falling down on my head! God has brought me through so many things, he brought me thru the shelter system to an apartment. Then off of welfare to a job at a law firm. From my apartment to my house i'm in now. AND STILL I DOUBT!!! Far be it from me to be disappointed anymore. Thank you for this question to open my eyes. Please pray that things will work out for me to find a great room mate for my new household who will be just right for me and my daughter %26amp; I will be praying for you as well. :o)
Reply:Great Question. I did this morning I worked for a company and they have not paid me I need the money very very bad, but they could not withold this money from me without my Fathers permission.

Reply:The house that I really wanted. My husband and I were looking to buy a home, and we found this wonderful fixer-upper, ideal in every way... except the roof was questionable, the stairway to the basement was really unsafe (and the basement's exterior wall had a hole in it), and the fireplace was clogged with... unidentifiable stuff (I really don't wanna guess what that mass of stuff was).
We'd always wanted a fixer upper, and this one... twice as big as the home we're in now, and only 1/3 of the cost... right near the town's clock tower (something we absolutely loved) and just off the main street... but we found that no mortgage company would offer a loan for a fixer upper for a first time home buyer. We were really disappointed. I cried and prayed that God would make a way for it to happen.
Nothing happened. I came to accept that the answer was "not right now". And even though my husband was disappointed, and I was heartbroken (IMHO, the place was one step short of perfect... it would have been perfect if it was on a larger plot of land [as opposed to having 2 feet of grass for a front and backyard]), even so, I thanked God for the "no"... because that meant that *something* was seriously wrong with the house, and it was not in our best interests to get it.
AFAIK, the house is still on the market. Maybe one day, we might be able to, if it is in God's will to ensure that it stands that long, and stays on the market that long... but I accept the fact that now is not the time.
For all I know, it could have been a deathtrap if we had moved in. I don't know. But the fact He said no is good enough for me. ^_^

beauty quotes
It is easy to sing in the daytime when all is well and the wind is stirring and the flowers are made bold. But can we sing praises at night? Can we praise God for all the unknown, all we can not see, for all the uncertainty...?
What is your "night time" these days? What are you struggling with, desiring and not receiving? My desire is for a child, but we keep running into one brick wall after another.
I am trying to praise God that I can not get pregnant, because if he has not allowed it to be so, then it must be for the best. But it is a hard praise to sing.
When was the last time you praised God for what He has not blessed you with?
When Was the Last Time You Praised God for a "SEEMING" Disappointment?
Your right to praise for those things that are hard, that we don't understand. That is why is called a sacrifice of praise. Because sometimes it is just that.
I struggle with my unsaved children and the desire not to see them lost. I praise God that he has given them grace every day to still be here and have time to make a choice. There are many things in my life that I praise God, when it has been so hard all I want to do is cry out WHY Lord, this hurts. But I know that I have Jesus praying for me. How can I get down and stay there when He is praying for my best.
Continue to pray for a child. God will fufill you somehow. Take care, and be blessed in Jesus.
Reply:I'm sorry for your troubles, but I don't think you're going to get the answers you are looking for in this section. there are going to be no straightforward answers which directly answer your question. good luck and keep trying see an herbalist, they can do wonders too.
Reply:Amen to your question. I totally need to share on this one. Remember Sarah who laughed when God told her she was going to have a baby at her age? Then she really did give birth to Issac. Remeber Hannah who cried because she was barren and could have no children and then Eli came and found her and told her she would have a child a year from that time and she did give birth to the great prophet Samuel. And, remember Zechariah and Elizabeth in Luke 1 who were without child and then an angel came to them and told them they would be the parents of John the Baptist at their old age, and they did. Don't be afraid, just believe! As for me, my world is falling down on my head! God has brought me through so many things, he brought me thru the shelter system to an apartment. Then off of welfare to a job at a law firm. From my apartment to my house i'm in now. AND STILL I DOUBT!!! Far be it from me to be disappointed anymore. Thank you for this question to open my eyes. Please pray that things will work out for me to find a great room mate for my new household who will be just right for me and my daughter %26amp; I will be praying for you as well. :o)
Reply:Great Question. I did this morning I worked for a company and they have not paid me I need the money very very bad, but they could not withold this money from me without my Fathers permission. All things work together for good to them that love the Lord and them that are called according to his purpose.
He has a reason for everything he allows!

Reply:The house that I really wanted. My husband and I were looking to buy a home, and we found this wonderful fixer-upper, ideal in every way... except the roof was questionable, the stairway to the basement was really unsafe (and the basement's exterior wall had a hole in it), and the fireplace was clogged with... unidentifiable stuff (I really don't wanna guess what that mass of stuff was).
We'd always wanted a fixer upper, and this one... twice as big as the home we're in now, and only 1/3 of the cost... right near the town's clock tower (something we absolutely loved) and just off the main street... but we found that no mortgage company would offer a loan for a fixer upper for a first time home buyer. We were really disappointed. I cried and prayed that God would make a way for it to happen.
Nothing happened. I came to accept that the answer was "not right now". And even though my husband was disappointed, and I was heartbroken (IMHO, the place was one step short of perfect... it would have been perfect if it was on a larger plot of land [as opposed to having 2 feet of grass for a front and backyard]), even so, I thanked God for the "no"... because that meant that *something* was seriously wrong with the house, and it was not in our best interests to get it.
AFAIK, the house is still on the market. Maybe one day, we might be able to, if it is in God's will to ensure that it stands that long, and stays on the market that long... but I accept the fact that now is not the time.
For all I know, it could have been a deathtrap if we had moved in. I don't know. But the fact He said no is good enough for me. ^_^

Reply:All the time. Sometimes what we see as a bad thing, is
a good thing.
Like the other day, I didn't get my pain medicine, but did get my muscle relaxers. I was mad.
But an old girlfreind came by that got me hooked on crack. I know, if I had had those pills, she would have bugged me till I either smoked some, or gave her a bunch to get rid of her.
She got mad and left because I didn't have any money. And I
didn't have to worry about getting started back on that CHIT,
and still had my medicine, which I got the next morning.

I need unique gift delivery ideas for my boyfriend?
Hello! I am looking for websites or companies that offer unique gifts
that can be delivered to the recipient. I want to send my boyfriend
something cool and I want it delivered to his work, but I don't want
to go with an old standard like flowers. I sent him Mrs Fields cookies
once, and he liked that, but he's trying to be more health-conscious
these days so cookies probably wouldn't fly a second time. Can you
give me some specific ideas as to creative and unique gifts that are
offered through a gift delivery service? I am not interested in most
of the "Just For Him" gift baskets that I've seen online - things like
cologne or beers of the world or anything like that, I think it would
just be too cheesy. (Plus he doesn't drink)… in short, something
more off-the-wall that would catch him by surprise, but pleasantly
surprised! He loves music - listening to it, recording it, playing it
(he plays guitar) so if there was a company or website that does
I need unique gift delivery ideas for my boyfriend?
www.pajamagram.com It's realy cool %26amp; unique!
Reply:Sorry cant really help but how about giving him something like clothing that goes with his style, and personality. Or how about a trip somewhere where there is music history or somewhere he's always dreamed of going.
Reply:Here are a few ideas that you'll both enjoy - him getting them, you creating them.
1) CafePress.com - open your own account and design things for him.
Http://www.cafepress.com
You can design graphics, or upload pictures and put them on teddy bears,(imagine a commemorative teddy bear for each special occasion?) t-shirts, mugs, posters, etc.
These are all the things you can customize:
http://www.cafepress.com/cp/customize/?v...
Incidentally, they include books and CDs, if you have the
copyright to the material.
2) Music and story-telling - go to Celestial Navigations
http://www.celestialnavigations.com
Pick up any of the CDs and send it to him. Then arrange to
spend an evening with him, with the lights turned low, or
in candlelight, listening to Geoffrey Lewis weave his tales.
A wonderful way to spark his imagination and to create a
romantic evening.
I saw them in Las Vegas at the Golden Nugget years ago,
and the experience still haunts me - in a happy way.
3) Of course, there's always Amazon.com - you can get his
favorite books, music, software, videos, even toys and lots
of other things from there. Remember, they DO deliver - and
on orders of $25 or more, 2-day delivery is free.
4) Have you ever visited AllPosters.com?
Http://allposters.com
Wow! You can find pictures for any passion - framed or unframed. They have some really great values when they have sales - and something interesting is always on sale. (I once got my boyfriend this poster of a wealthy man, standing next to his Rolls Royce in front of the unemployment office…20+ years later, it's still in his home.)
You may be able to get away with less than $25 including shipping.
5) You said he likes books on tape. Well, BooksOnTape delivers
http://booksontape.com
You may either buy or rent the books. Renting isn't so bad,
since you may keep the books for about a month. Then ship them back in their own container at no additional cost. Only, make sure he knows they're rented… Also, they have really good deals when they have sales.
6)You didn't mention if he likes animals? But if he does, here's a way to enjoy them without having to clean up after them - The Animal Den - http://www.animalden.com
They have all kinds of gift items with gorgeous animal pictures on them. You can order things for many breeds of many animals.
7) Campy things, and things you don't expect - drop by Classic Closeouts
http://classiccloseouts.com
They have collectibles, like Star Trek pins, or designer clothing, or household things - you never know what. Just for the fun of it.
8) Give him a Club Pogo membership
http://www.pogo.com
You can play online together, without being interrupted by ads, and you can chat while you're playing. You might (long shot) even win some money prizes. And their software doesn't mess up your computer.
9) Get him an Entertainment book for his town, or yours.
Http://entertainment.com/
Not only will you get discounts (even movie theaters), but it can be an awful lot of fun using the book to explore your own area. Aside from restaurants, there are discounts to live theaters, concerts, amusement venues, bowling alleys, all kinds of places you didn't even know existed around you.
Oh yes, you can also get 50% off hotels and other travel discounts.
10) If you want an assortment of interesting, often unusual, and expensive items, visit the Hammacher Schlemmer catalogue.

It's such fun! And you'll usually find something within your price range.
11) Does he like puzzles? You're going to love Bits and Pieces!

Oh yes, and they have a mystery puzzle, where you can win $1,000 for solving the mystery. Always a fun challenge.
12) For those times when you're feeling silly, there's Prank Place
www.PrankPlace.com
Granted, there's a lot of stuff in bad taste. Ignore those things.
They also have a lot of cute and fun things. For instance, I found a whole raft of things relating to money gags for my readers.
They have magic tricks, fake parking tickets, remote controlled mice, etc.

If you have patience please read this story that I wrote. A bit long, but I wanna know what you think of it?
Fallen Angel. Chapter one. In search of Identity.
--------------------------------------...
"My eyes opened and I realized I was resting on a soft bed. I was covered with a soft baby blue blanket. The birds chirpedrhythmically, and the sunlight reflectedfrom the window adjacent from the bed was hurting my eyes. I squinted as I looked upon it, but it really didn't helprelieve the pain at all. The pain felt as if I was looking directly at a flashlight. I could easily tell the time of day was morning. I sat up on the bed and looked around the bedroom, the walls were painted pink, the drawers and bookshelves standing opposite of the window were just as blue as the blanket that I hadjust pulled off. The room was unfamiliar to me. I wondered how I got here, but I could not recall anything that occurred before this present point, nothing at all.
I got out of bed and there was a somewhat loud clanking sound coming from the polished wooden floor. I looked down and saw a silver heart shaped pendant bonded with small silver chains. I bent over and picked up the locket. It was two and a half inches long, and it gleamed and shimmered like precious diamonds in the sunlight behind me. I turned the heart shaped locket and saw a small clasp. I opened the locket and saw a photo of a young woman on the left who seemed to be wearing a purple dress robe. Next to her on the right was a little girl, wearing similar clothing except she wore pink instead of purple. Both of them had long black hair and they were smiling at each other. I glanced at the little girl again, and although the child seemed so cute, she also seemed very familiar. There was a mirror adjacent to the door in front of me. I saw my own reflection in the mirror. I realized that I had black hair just like the two people in the photo, wearing a white T-Shirt and white shorts, I also saw in the mirror that I had no shoes on. Then I looked at the little girl in the picture again. That little girl’s face and hair are somewhat similar to mine. On the left side of the locket I saw a something printed on the silver metal. The upper left corner of the heart locket was a name that was printed “Fallen angel” and in the middle there was date carved into the locket saying
20 December 1995
The date on the locket caught my attention. I wondered why the date was even printed there. What happened on that day? Why is it so significant? I also wondered who the young woman is in the photo, and if the little girl next to her is really me. The door in front of me knocked unexpectedly. I just watched and glared at it, then seconds later the door opened. The one who knocked on the door was a young woman, wearing a white dress and I also noticed a white apron she was wearing that seemed to blend in. Her rectanglular glasses were completely crooked, it looks as if it was about to fall off her face. Her face was completely dirty, and her crimson hair looked as if it were never brushed for weeks perhaps months. Her emerald eyes came into contact with mine, and said to me in a somewhat squeaky voice.
“Hello, you’re awake”
I continued to glare at her, and remind silent.
“What’s your name?” said the woman, smiling lightly “My name is Solana Frostly.”
Unfortunately I didn’t have an answer to that question. I felt pretty stupid not knowing my own name, so I remained silent and continued to stare at her.
“Um, you don’t talk much do you?” said Solana, timidly. “My daughter Aiyana found you in the forest out cold so we took you in our home and we kept you warm and placed you in her room. Um….. Are you feeling okay?”
I nodded lightly, and whispered.
“Yes”
“I’m glad to hear it!” said Solana, smiling brightly. “Come downstairs, I made some breakfast. When you finished eating we can call your parents. How old are you by the way”
“T-Tw-Twelve” I answered a little unsure of myself.
“Oh that’s great!” Said Solana, “Aiyana is just about you age- Well, perhaps. She’ll be turning twelve in a few days, so I’m sure you two would get along just fine. Now please come downstairs for some breakfast. I’m not sure if there is any breakfast left, I didn’t expect you to be awake at this time. After breakfast we’ll call your parents, they must be worried sick about you. So we’ll just let them know that you’re okay”
Solana turned around and left. Seconds later, I got up off the floor, where I was sitting, left the room and went down the stairs. After I reached the first floor, I heard a voice calling to me.
“Hey, over here! We saved you some breakfast”
I turned to where the voice is coming from. It was Solana and another girl who had long scarlet hair just like Solana’s in a kitchen. I walked inside the kitchen where the girl sat at a circular wooden table that was near a corner of the kitchen. The table had a large plate with a layer of pancakes on a white ceramic plate and a bottle of maple syrup sitting there. I gagged at the odor of burnt food. The sink next to me were piled with dirty dishes. There were shards of broken glass on the white tile floors. I almost stepped on them, while I was still barefoot. Solana was near an oven holding a silver metal spatula, jumping and shrieking hysterically trying to put out the flames that bloomed from the stove just a second ago. I sat at the table where the girl sat. I glared at her for a moment. The girl looked back at me and smiled.
“Oh hello,” She said quickly, “Don’t mind my Mom, she’s very clumsy when it comes to housekeeping. As you can see, she’s not always the best cook. Although she’s very clumsy and careless, she has her moments. She’s only like this when she’s stressed out. It’s very typical for adults.Other than that she’s a great cook. Oh, I’m so sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Aiyana.”
Aiyana reached out her right hand towards me.
I looked at her hand. I wondered what she made that gesture for. I continued to stare at it.
“What’s your name” She asked.
My eyes were drawn from her hand to her face. It’s that question again. I was gnawing my bottom lip, trying hard to remember, but it was impossible. All I could do now is give Aiyana a light shrug. Aiyana frowned.
“I tried asking her the same thing,” said Solana finally finished extinguishing the flames on the stove, “but she wouldn’t tell me. She must be shy, let’s give her some time to relax a bit. Aiyana pumpkin, go to the living room and find the phone. I think it’s time we call her parents. And turn on the computer on your way back here, and look up something on missing children”
Aiyana looked at her mother and nodded. She got up off her chair and left the kitchen. Now my attention is drawn to Solana, who smiled at me, placed some pancakes on the plate in front of me and said,
“Please eat some pancakes, they’re really tasty. I don’t want you to go hungry. I’ll give you a fork and a glass of orange juice.”
Solana handed me a silver metal fork, with four prongs and the flower design carved on the brown wooden handle. She also grasped the bottle of maple syrup and poured its sticky brown contents on the plate of pancakes. I looked down and stared at it.
“Hmm,” said Solana. “It seems that you have never tasted pancakes before. Just cut a piece off and eat it.
I looked up at Solana once more, remembering what Aiyana told me earlier, that she isn’t always the best cook. I assumed that these pancakes of hers would not taste very pleasant. I found Solana as a very kind person and the last thing I want to do is offend her. With my assumption set aside, I grabbed the fork that was previously placed on the table, Cut off a piece of the pancake and placed it into my open mouth. My bottom jaw made contact with my upper one, while moving in a clockwise position. The food was soft and tasted sugary. While eating it I had this pleasant feeling, I assumed that the pancakes would taste horrible, but it was the opposite. I looked up at Solana again and smiled. Solana smiled back at me.
In each chapter there will be a new reply. So i need your opinion on this story.
If you have patience please read this story that I wrote. A bit long, but I wanna know what you think of it?
good start
i like it
go on
try to use more adjectives

Reply:How about you post your work on fictionpress.com? It's a really writer-friendly website, where you'll get opinions and reviews. Then you don't have to bother with putting the entire story on here.
Reply:It's pretty good, although I do hav a few suggestions:
1. You jump into the part with the locket a little too quickly, putting too much emphasis on it. It makes the writing seem a bit hasty and immature. When reading, you can immediately tell that the locket is a vital part to the story, which you probably don't want to make too clear. Long story short, don't go into so much detail about it. Instead, make it seem a minor detail of her day and write as little as possible about it. If necessary, have her look at it again some other time to describe it in more detail.
2. You have repeated some words too many times, such as "her". Try not to do this.
3. Don't describe everything in too much detail, as this can give unwanted details and add length. If you do this too often, it can make your writing seem a little overdeveloped.
Other than these few minor details, you have written a very nice piece. Keep up the good work!
Reply:Like most of the crap on here of this sort, it's not very good. Your little peers will fall all over themselves telling you how good it is, but let's face it, they don't know any more than YOU do about writing and what makes a good story. Trust me. It's not very good.
Reply:I think it's a great start to a story. It needs a little tweaking here and there but otherwise it held my attention and I would like to read more.

Solana turned around and left. Seconds later, I got up off the floor, where I was sitting, left the room and went down the stairs. After I reached the first floor, I heard a voice calling to me.
“Hey, over here! We saved you some breakfast”
I turned to where the voice is coming from. It was Solana and another girl who had long scarlet hair just like Solana’s in a kitchen. I walked inside the kitchen where the girl sat at a circular wooden table that was near a corner of the kitchen. The table had a large plate with a layer of pancakes on a white ceramic plate and a bottle of maple syrup sitting there. I gagged at the odor of burnt food. The sink next to me were piled with dirty dishes. There were shards of broken glass on the white tile floors. I almost stepped on them, while I was still barefoot. Solana was near an oven holding a silver metal spatula, jumping and shrieking hysterically trying to put out the flames that bloomed from the stove just a second ago. I sat at the table where the girl sat. I glared at her for a moment. The girl looked back at me and smiled.
“Oh hello,” She said quickly, “Don’t mind my Mom, she’s very clumsy when it comes to housekeeping. As you can see, she’s not always the best cook. Although she’s very clumsy and careless, she has her moments. She’s only like this when she’s stressed out. It’s very typical for adults.Other than that she’s a great cook. Oh, I’m so sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Aiyana.”
Aiyana reached out her right hand towards me.
I looked at her hand. I wondered what she made that gesture for. I continued to stare at it.
“What’s your name” She asked.
My eyes were drawn from her hand to her face. It’s that question again. I was gnawing my bottom lip, trying hard to remember, but it was impossible. All I could do now is give Aiyana a light shrug. Aiyana frowned.
“I tried asking her the same thing,” said Solana finally finished extinguishing the flames on the stove, “but she wouldn’t tell me. She must be shy, let’s give her some time to relax a bit. Aiyana pumpkin, go to the living room and find the phone. I think it’s time we call her parents. And turn on the computer on your way back here, and look up something on missing children”
Aiyana looked at her mother and nodded. She got up off her chair and left the kitchen. Now my attention is drawn to Solana, who smiled at me, placed some pancakes on the plate in front of me and said,
“Please eat some pancakes, they’re really tasty. I don’t want you to go hungry. I’ll give you a fork and a glass of orange juice.”
Solana handed me a silver metal fork, with four prongs and the flower design carved on the brown wooden handle. She also grasped the bottle of maple syrup and poured its sticky brown contents on the plate of pancakes. I looked down and stared at it.
“Hmm,” said Solana. “It seems that you have never tasted pancakes before. Just cut a piece off and eat it.
I looked up at Solana once more, remembering what Aiyana told me earlier, that she isn’t always the best cook. I assumed that these pancakes of hers would not taste very pleasant. I found Solana as a very kind person and the last thing I want to do is offend her. With my assumption set aside, I grabbed the fork that was previously placed on the table, Cut off a piece of the pancake and placed it into my open mouth. My bottom jaw made contact with my upper one, while moving in a clockwise position. The food was soft and tasted sugary. While eating it I had this pleasant feeling, I assumed that the pancakes would taste horrible, but it was the opposite. I looked up at Solana again and smiled. Solana smiled back at me.
In each chapter there will be a new reply. So i need your opinion on this story.
If you have patience please read this story that I wrote. A bit long, but I wanna know what you think of it?
good start
i like it
go on

Reply:How about you post your work on fictionpress.com? It's a really writer-friendly website, where you'll get opinions and reviews. Then you don't have to bother with putting the entire story on here.
Reply:It's pretty good, although I do hav a few suggestions:
1. You jump into the part with the locket a little too quickly, putting too much emphasis on it. It makes the writing seem a bit hasty and immature. When reading, you can immediately tell that the locket is a vital part to the story, which you probably don't want to make too clear. Long story short, don't go into so much detail about it. Instead, make it seem a minor detail of her day and write as little as possible about it. If necessary, have her look at it again some other time to describe it in more detail.
2. You have repeated some words too many times, such as "her". Try not to do this.
3. Don't describe everything in too much detail, as this can give unwanted details and add length. If you do this too often, it can make your writing seem a little overdeveloped.
Other than these few minor details, you have written a very nice piece. Keep up the good work!
Reply:Like most of the crap on here of this sort, it's not very good. Your little peers will fall all over themselves telling you how good it is, but let's face it, they don't know any more than YOU do about writing and what makes a good story. Trust me. It's not very good.
Reply:I think it's a great start to a story. It needs a little tweaking here and there but otherwise it held my attention and I would like to read more.

Guys, do you think this is funny? Read the details below?
Hospitalized Man.
(This is for the ladies only. No offense gentlemen!)
In a Chicago hospital, a gentleman had made several attempts to get into the
men's restroom, but it had always been occupied. A nurse noticed his
predicament.
Sir, she said," You may use the ladies room if you promise not to touch any
of the buttons on the wall."
He did what he needed to, and as he sat there he noticed the buttons he had
promised not to touch. Each button was identified by letters: WW, WA, PP,
and a red one labeled ATR. Who would know if he touched them?
He couldn't resist... He pushed WW. Warm Water was sprayed gently upon his
bottom. What a nice feeling, he thought. Men's restrooms don't have nice
things like this.
Anticipating greater pleasure, he pushed the WA button. Warm Air replaced
the warm water, gently drying his underside.
When this stopped, he pushed the PP button. A large Powder Puff caressed
his bottom adding a fragile scent of spring flowers to this unbelievable
pleasure... The ladies restroom was more than a restroom, it is tender
loving pleasure.
When the powder puff completed its pleasure, he couldn't wait to push the
ATR button which he knew would be supreme ecstasy.
Next thing he knew, he opened his eyes, he was in a hospital bed, and a
nurse was staring down at him.
"What happened?" he exclaimed. The last thing I remember was pushing the
ATR button.
"The button marked ATR is an Automatic Tampon Remover. Your p***s is under
your pillow."

Here's one for you:
Two girlfriends were speeding down the highway at well over 90 mph.
"Hey," asked the brunette at the wheel, "Any cops following us?"
The blonde turned around and had a long look at the road behind them. "Yeah, looks like it"
"Are his flashers on?"
The blonde turned around again and said......
"Yup.... nope....yup....nope.... yup....nope.... yup....."

Hinata opens the sliding door, and hanging from the ceiling is Naruto screaming "Granny Tsunade! I've got something to talk to you about!" Hinata stops in her tracks and drops the flowers.
Naruto (Opens his eyes): "Huh? Hinata?" (Hinata's face turns red)
Hinata (Thinking): "Naruto-kun... Naruto-kun's this close to me..."
Naruto: "Your face is kind of red. Do you have a fever or something?" (Places his hand on her forehead. Hinata screams and headbutts Naruto to the wall and falls back. Shino and Kiba fail to catch her.)

What kind of tree?
There's a tree in my front yard here in Bangkok, Thailand, that I just don't recognize. I love the airy look, but it has grown to be sort of scraggly over the past six months. I hope someone can tell me if I can prune it by cutting off higher branches to make it fuller below so I don't see so much of my wall.
See photos taken with my cell phone here - http://berkompas.com/tree-unknown1.jpg
and for a closer view - http://berkompas.com/tree-unknown2.jpg
(trumpet-like flowers are yellow and there is some sort of odd ball-like fruit growing, too)
Thanks for any tips.
What kind of tree?
Thanks for the good photos. Although I am not sure of the exact species of your tree, based on the growth habit, you can prune it back from the top and expect more shoots lower. Also, if you prune some of the side branches, that will also promote more buds to develope behind the cuts.
Reply:What you have is Thevetia peruviana. It is relative to a plant they call yellow Oleander(that would be Thevetia thevetiodes). In SoCal it is considered a large shrub really. It will get about 10 feet and likes mostly full sun.

Need help with color idea????!!!!!?
I just bought a new bedspread that is a darker orange and then has a huge purple flower on it. It is very abstract but cool. I cant think of a color that would go with both colors of the bedspread. I am painting my walls to match it and I dont want a lot of color but enough color for people to notice that my room looks different. Any ideas???
Need help with color idea????!!!!!?
Depends on what you want the wall color to do in relation to the comforter. If you want the comforter to pop against the walls choose a color opposite on the color wheel. If you want the comforter to just blend in with the walls then choose the dominating color of the comforter.
You could pick a much lighter shade of purple than the flower on the comforter (take the comforter to a paint store and match it to the flower but in a lighter value) and the orange will definitely pop out against it and it would be a nice compliment to the purple flower.
Good info from color expert from the HGTV show Get Color:
http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/dc_design_color...
Reply:A real soft light peach or a medium ivory would be neutral enough to bring the colors in but allow other colors to enhance. You can also make all of it pop with some beautiful plants and your room will be a haven. Bottom line, have fun, there is no right or wrong when it comes to creating your own environment, it should be a place you love to go.
Reply:The complimentary color for both of those is a pale yellow, which would look fab. You could add some chocolate brown curtains or throw pillows to add some earth tones as well. Generally speaking if you can't match a color you go for something totally different to off set it.
Reply:what if you used them both, by painting the wall one color then using the other color to put a thick strip running parallel to the floor but in the middle of the wall
Reply:The walls only have to match ONE of the colours to tie in - which could be any shade of orange - from very pale to almost rust - or of course any shade of purple.
Alterntively, ignore the above and pick a colour that you feel compliments and contrasts well.
If you have a pillowcase with a small version of the design, how about taking it into t a paint shop / wallpaper place. Even if you do not want wall paper it can be a useful place to look at "slabs of colour" :)
Reply:Paint the wall red. Red, purple and orange work well together or if you want to tone it down, you could use a lavender or cottony pink.
I would go for some brightly colored shag carpeting and some curtains with pompoms or feathers. Have fun with it and remember a comforter and curtains and accessories can quickly be changed but repainting the wall can be a pain. So pick a color you can live with.

I am desperate to find the name of a photographer and his photos from the seventies. The subject was always women in sheer clothing with floppy hats and usually carrying flowers (think flake advert) the settings are usually country lanes, sometimes there was one woman sometimes two..i remember one with a tandem bike. My mum had them on her wall when i was a child in about '78.... I know the pictures are well known because they were featured on an 'i love the 1970's' programme recently. if anyone can help it would be brilliant!!!! thanks

What do You think of my horse racing speech?
Two years ago in May 2005, Barbaro, a 3 year old Thoroughbred racehorse won the Kentucky Derby. Two weeks later he shattered his leg in the Preakness race. The next day he underwent surgery for his injuries . In July 2005, he developed laminitis in his left rear leg , a very painful disease in the hoof caused by a failure of the hoof bone to connect to the hoof wall. He had an additional five surgeries, and his prognosis varied as he remained for an extraordinarily long period of time in the equine Intensive Care Unit at the University of Pennsylvania. While his right leg eventually healed, a final risky surgery on it proved futile because the colt soon developed further laminitis in both front legs. His veterinarians and owners then concluded that he could not be saved, and Barbaro was euthanized on January 29, 2007. Barbaro broke his right hind leg in more than 20 places: a broken cannon bone above the ankle, a broken sesamoid bone behind the ankle and a broken long pastern bone below the ankle. The fetlock joint was dislocated. If Barbaro had not ridden in that race, he might still be alive today.
The Dangers and evils of horse racing
I’m going to present to you the dangers and evils of professional horse racing. Every year hundreds of race horses are raced to death, and many more are injured. If they aren’t winning, then they are frequently neglected and abused. Something needs to be done to stop the abuse and help these horses.
Injuries
There are many dangers in horse racing. A horse can slip and fall, or step on its leg wrong and break it. Another famous racehorse, Ruffian, the unbeatable thoroughbred filly was running in a match race against the Kentucky Derby winner Foolish Pleasure. Half way through the race she stepped wrong and completely snapped her leg. She had a successful surgery, but when she woke up from it she accidentally broke her other leg. She was put down eight hours after the accident.
In the 2005 racing year, 320 racehorse deaths were reported in California alone, a number believed to be an all-time high. It was a 32 percent increase from the previous year, with 154 of the deaths coming during races, up 34 percent from the previous year. And horse racing doesn’t just take a toll on the horses. Surprisingly, horse racing is the most dangerous sport for people. For every 100,000 fatalities nationwide, about 128 are caused by horse racing.
Animal Aid, a British animal rights organization. Founded in 1977, Initiated a Race Horse Death Watch was launched during the 2007 Cheltenham Festival in England. Its purpose is to expose and record every on-course Thoroughbred fatality in Britain. Their research indicated that an average of 375 horses is raced to death every year. One-third of them die on racecourses, while the others are destroyed as a result of training injuries, or are killed because they are no longer commercially viable.
From Winner to Dinner
In 2002 the Kentucky Derby 1986 Winner Ferdinand was slaughtered in a Japanese slaughter house. Though Americans were outraged, not much was done to stop slaughter until 2006 when an Anti Slaughter bill was put into the senate. The bill passed but it only protects horses going to slaughter in America. It does not protect horses being shipped out of the country and into Mexico and Canada. More than 90% of horses going to Slaughter are healthy horses, and nearly half of those horses are racehorses. In slaughter houses the horses are neglected, abused and poorly fed, if fed at all. They are given just enough nourishment to keep them alive until they can be slaughtered.
Overworking
Overworking is another danger. Many good horses are ruined because they are raced too much when they are still too young. The official thoroughbred birthday is January 1st when they can officially start racing, so none of the horses are actually a year old. Some are younger than others, thus a 5 months old horse could be racing an 8 month old horse. Since the horses are raced when they are so young and still growing, it causes bone problems. They can develop Arthritis at early ages. The bones can chip and create bumps on their legs, and their joints are often ruined resulting in lifetime lameness. Being raced or trained every day is very hard on a horse, especially a young, growing horse. If trained at the right age (3 or 4) a Thoroughbred can be raced up to the age of 10. But in America, the average retiring age is 4 or 5.
No place to call home
Many people think that racehorses ‘live the good life’. They get nice grain and fresh hay every day. They live in heated barns and have nice comfortable stalls with grooms that go in and clean up for them every 5 minutes. The problem is that they are not living as horses should, they live in a box stall, are expected to be explosively athletic at the drop of a hat, are given a bit of a cool out, and put back in their stalls. They are fed well, but are often handled by people who don't care who they are as an animal but rather how they translate into a paycheck, or who don't have the time to work with them individually because they have a whole barn of 20 horses to care for. A horse needs play time; time to just be a horse. It needs time in a pasture to run around and release pent up energy. These racehorses are so expensive that they can’t be let outside for fear of being hurt. They have no real place to call home. These Racehorses are still just horses. They still need interaction with other horses. The jockeys that ride them see them as a money maker, and they don’t actually ride the horse until the race. They have different riders all through training.
Think about it
Horse Racing is seen as a prestigious sport. Millions of spectators flock to the races, bet on a horse they think looks fast, and sit and cheer that horse on. Yet few ever consider the well being of the horse. They must run at top speed anywhere from a quarter mile to three miles. If they don’t win they are cooled off quickly and put back in their stall while their owners go on to race the next horse in the stock. If they do win they are taken right to the winners circle. An odd spooky blanket of flowers is thrown onto their back and lights start flashing from cameras and they are paraded off to their stall with a crowd of people following. Next time you go to a horse race or even see it on TV, think about the horses. I hope this speech has prompted you to look at it differently. Thank you.
What do You think of my horse racing speech?
honestly while you do make some very valid points I think it's crap %26amp; you need to do a little more research on racing and maybe even experience the whole management aspect of it personally. What happened to Barbaro was a FREAK ACCIDENT, Had he not raced in the Preakness he probably would have broken it in his paddock or in the belmont, there is no way we will ever know. Throughbreds are born to run, some have stronger bone structure than others it's just the luck of the draw. I can tell you this much you are gonna hack off a lot of avid racing fans and people who work with the animals by posting this. Those racehorses get treated better than my own horses do and they are taken pretty damn good care of. Hell they are probably proivded for better than most children. I suggest you delve further into the sport instead of concentrating on the "evils" of horse racing. If you look at it logically, look at the accidents that happen in any horse related sport, they abound everywhere not just racing. So if you are gonna say racing is evil b/c of the accidents that happen in it, maybe you should just go ahead and say all us horse owners are cruel for putting an our horses through unnatural things. Go ahead and thumb me down i dont care but God you know nothings kill me when it comes to racing. You se eone thing and label the whole sport and everything surrounding it as evil. Sorry if i hurt you feelings or hacked you off but YOU asked
also honey Barbaro won in 2006 get your years straight
if you ride at a "top class jumper barn" then you should know about the hazzards of jumping to horses, ever see a horse hit the ground wrong after landing a jump and completely shatter his leg, and I mean to the point where bone splinters out of leg? I have seen it in person and this horse was about a 65,000 horse that was very very well taken care of and had plenty of rest between shows...... you may know when it comes to jumpers but it is obvious you don't know jack when it comes to race horses

Reply:Second losing a horse is not something that you walk away from lightly. I have seen horses and riders go down, and seen the injured rider jump up to check on the horse. There are also a lot of jockeys that lose horses that can never ride again. The pain last for a lifetime. Report It

Good job BISCUIT!!
Reply:Ok i work part time at a racing stables riding and grooming... and mostly none of what you have said is true.
No horse is going to be raced at 5 or 8 months old.
They do get nice grain, fresh hay, and live in comfortable stalls.
The horses where i work are stabled in the winter and in paddocks in the summer, and i have never seen one horse unhappy in either of these conditions.
Their stalls are mucked out twice daily, and they are not expected to be 'explosively athletic at the drop of a hat', they are conditioned into their work very gradually, none of them struggle with it one bit.... as for a 'bit of a cool out', these horses are hosed, sponged, scraped, toweled and then put on a mechanical walker untill they have dried off and cooled down completely, which is a lot more than what most average horses get.
Not one person handles these horses that doesn't know what they are doing, every person i work wth comes from a horsey background and most of them probably know a whole lot more than you (no offence).
One of our most expensive colts (NZ$400, 000) is currently living in a paddock with no cover... so i guess there isn't that much of a 'fear of him getting hurt'.
They all have interaction, whether in stalls, in paddocks, they almost always have at least 30 other horses in sight.
If there is something wrong with the horse the vet is out that day or the very next day.... even if its not urgent... my own horse has to usually wait 2-3 days for something unimportant.
How many horses around can have the farrier/vet/physiotherapist/chiropractor come to see them within 2 days of something happening??
The jockeys ride to win, yes that is the general point. And at least 80% of the jockeys over here will ride the horse at least a few times before they race it.... also there is nothing wrong with different riders throughout training.....?!, if anything it makes the horse better at understanding ever so slighty different signals... i would hate to get on a horse that had been only ever been ridden by someone with rough hands etc.
As for the "They must run at top speed...." they run because they want to, if they didn't they wouldn't, if they were unhappy or in pain the would not run any idiot knows that.
And again they are not "cooled off quickly and put back in their stall while their owners go on to race the next horse in the stock" , i have worked several times 'backstage' at the races and the same they are hosed, sponged, scraped and towel and led around and around for like an hour untill they have cooled off, then they go back to they're stall and if they fidget even a little bit before the race or after then someone takes them out to be walked.
Honestly i used to think what you think about horseracing, but now that i actually KNOW what goes on, i know that those horses have the same quality of life as my own horse, which is pretty good.
Reply:There is one thing I would like to correct. Thoroughbreds are not raced at one year of age in the US. Their training under saddle and first races occur in their two year old year. Though, yes, a foal born in March 2006 and starting training next month is only 22 months old.
It is tragic when a race horse breaks its leg but the reality is that horses can break their legs in a pasture or their stall. I do agree that we should not be racing horses so young. I think two year old racing should be eliminated. I also think breeders need to focus on breeding sound, durable animals and not rushing horses off to stud after their three year old year or worse yet, rushing unsound animals off to the breeding shed. I suppose there are cheap claimers on low end circuits who might not be treated well but the average race horse cost its owner hundreds of thousands and sometimes millions of dollars. They are well cared for investments.
No, racing is not a "natural" life for a horse but if this is wrong then no one should ride horses at all, either in the hunter/jumper ring, eventing, draft work, trail riding, etc. Those activities are not natural, either.
Reply:WAY TO GO ,BISCUIT. You beat me to it. I believe you need to post this "speech" somewhere other than in the racing section... maybe at PETA's site?
"These racehorses are so expensive that they can’t be let outside for fear of being hurt. They have no real place to call home. These Racehorses are still just horses.

You definitely need to go to a track and see what is happening before you blast the sport like this.
" I myself ride at a top class jumper barn"..... HUGE difference between show jumpers ( or hunter / jumpers) and race horses! I work with both, and you CANNOT tell me that jumpers don't get hurt cause that's a big fat lie.
Reply:Its well written, but a lot of that isnt true. I helped my dad own and train TBs to race. Ours are all fine, a hors ecan slip doing anything. Down the trails, jumping. Any horse sport is dangerous to the horse and rider so don't single out racing.

Reply:Darlin you are horribly misguided. Obviously you're taking the most extreme cases and using them to prove a misguided point. You're not taking into account the thousands of horses who make it safely and happily back to their barns each day.
I broke my toe in a play once, should we outlaw the theatre? Horses are made to run, they enjoy running, and the majority of them enjoy the crowd. Their grooms and other workers for the most part take excellent care of them. Of course there are exceptions, but there are exceptions to every rule in life.
I dare you to spend a year visiting race tracks, training centers, etc and come out feeling the same way as you do now. Weeks of reading on the internet are not sufficient. I could spend "weeks" reading about brain surgery on the internet but I doubt anyone would be willing to let me open them up afterwards. Gain some real life experience.
Oh, and Barbaro won the Derby in 2006, not 2005. Giacomo won in 2005, and he's happily retired and making babies. You should at least have those facts right.
Reply:woah woah woah woah WOAH!
i think you've exaggerated this a bit.
accidents in horse races are pretty rare. they dont have an accident in every single race
jockeys DO ride their horses before a race...while they are training!
and a lot of jockeys do love the horses they ride, not all of them are just doing it for the money.
the distance? think about the wild horses, how far they would run during the day.
im not saying that horse racing is a good sport, but i really do think that you're not considering the positive facts.
there ARE cruel people out there who are in the racing industry and mistreat their horses.
i have a thoroughbred who used to race but the owners abandoned her because she developed a guteral (?spelling) pouch infection which meant the end of her racing career. Sure im angry at these people, but im not going to say that ALL race horse trainers mistreat their horses and are only in it for the money. Im not going to blame every single horse trainer out there and say that they all mistreat their horses. because in actual fact they dont.
I know im repeating myself but seriously. Not all horse trainers are evil. Not all of them mistreat their horses. There are SO SO SO many horse trainers out there that have a great passion for horses and horse racing, and that really do care about horses. MOST of them do it for their passion, not for the money.
I do think this is a good speech because i can see that you feel very strongly about this subject, but i really do think that you need to consider some facts because this is a very exaggerated piece of writing.

The Dangers and evils of horse racing
I’m going to present to you the dangers and evils of professional horse racing. Every year hundreds of race horses are raced to death, and many more are injured. If they aren’t winning, then they are frequently neglected and abused. Something needs to be done to stop the abuse and help these horses.
Injuries
There are many dangers in horse racing. A horse can slip and fall, or step on its leg wrong and break it. Another famous racehorse, Ruffian, the unbeatable thoroughbred filly was running in a match race against the Kentucky Derby winner Foolish Pleasure. Half way through the race she stepped wrong and completely snapped her leg. She had a successful surgery, but when she woke up from it she accidentally broke her other leg. She was put down eight hours after the accident.
In the 2005 racing year, 320 racehorse deaths were reported in California alone, a number believed to be an all-time high. It was a 32 percent increase from the previous year, with 154 of the deaths coming during races, up 34 percent from the previous year. And horse racing doesn’t just take a toll on the horses. Surprisingly, horse racing is the most dangerous sport for people. For every 100,000 fatalities nationwide, about 128 are caused by horse racing.
Animal Aid, a British animal rights organization. Founded in 1977, Initiated a Race Horse Death Watch was launched during the 2007 Cheltenham Festival in England. Its purpose is to expose and record every on-course Thoroughbred fatality in Britain. Their research indicated that an average of 375 horses is raced to death every year. One-third of them die on racecourses, while the others are destroyed as a result of training injuries, or are killed because they are no longer commercially viable.
From Winner to Dinner
In 2002 the Kentucky Derby 1986 Winner Ferdinand was slaughtered in a Japanese slaughter house. Though Americans were outraged, not much was done to stop slaughter until 2006 when an Anti Slaughter bill was put into the senate. The bill passed but it only protects horses going to slaughter in America. It does not protect horses being shipped out of the country and into Mexico and Canada. More than 90% of horses going to Slaughter are healthy horses, and nearly half of those horses are racehorses. In slaughter houses the horses are neglected, abused and poorly fed, if fed at all. They are given just enough nourishment to keep them alive until they can be slaughtered.
Overworking
Overworking is another danger. Many good horses are ruined because they are raced too much when they are still too young. The official thoroughbred birthday is January 1st when they can officially start racing, so none of the horses are actually a year old. Some are younger than others, thus a 5 months old horse could be racing an 8 month old horse. Since the horses are raced when they are so young and still growing, it causes bone problems. They can develop Arthritis at early ages. The bones can chip and create bumps on their legs, and their joints are often ruined resulting in lifetime lameness. Being raced or trained every day is very hard on a horse, especially a young, growing horse. If trained at the right age (3 or 4) a Thoroughbred can be raced up to the age of 10. But in America, the average retiring age is 4 or 5.
No place to call home
Many people think that racehorses ‘live the good life’. They get nice grain and fresh hay every day. They live in heated barns and have nice comfortable stalls with grooms that go in and clean up for them every 5 minutes. The problem is that they are not living as horses should, they live in a box stall, are expected to be explosively athletic at the drop of a hat, are given a bit of a cool out, and put back in their stalls. They are fed well, but are often handled by people who don't care who they are as an animal but rather how they translate into a paycheck, or who don't have the time to work with them individually because they have a whole barn of 20 horses to care for. A horse needs play time; time to just be a horse. It needs time in a pasture to run around and release pent up energy. These racehorses are so expensive that they can’t be let outside for fear of being hurt. They have no real place to call home. These Racehorses are still just horses. They still need interaction with other horses. The jockeys that ride them see them as a money maker, and they don’t actually ride the horse until the race. They have different riders all through training.
Think about it
Horse Racing is seen as a prestigious sport. Millions of spectators flock to the races, bet on a horse they think looks fast, and sit and cheer that horse on. Yet few ever consider the well being of the horse. They must run at top speed anywhere from a quarter mile to three miles. If they don’t win they are cooled off quickly and put back in their stall while their owners go on to race the next horse in the stock. If they do win they are taken right to the winners circle. An odd spooky blanket of flowers is thrown onto their back and lights start flashing from cameras and they are paraded off to their stall with a crowd of people following. Next time you go to a horse race or even see it on TV, think about the horses. I hope this speech has prompted you to look at it differently. Thank you.
