A man stopped at a flower shop to order some flowers to be wired to his mother who lived two hundred miles away.
As he got out of his car he noticed a young girl sitting on the curb sobbing.
He asked her what was wrong and she replied, "I wanted to buy a red rose for my mother.
But I only have seventy-five cents, and a rose costs two dollars."
The man smiled and said, "Come on in with me. I'll buy you a rose."
He bought the little girl her rose and ordered his own mother's flowers.
As they were leaving he offered the girl a ride home.
She said, "Yes, please! You can take me to my mother."
She directed him to a cemetery, where she placed the rose on a freshly dug grave.
The man returned to the flower shop, canceled the wire order, picked up a bouquet and drove the two hundred miles to his mother's house.
Taking nothing for granted especially our mother's?
Love your mother. Honor her.
My mother started out well. But, alcoholism took its toll and things went downhill quickly. She died when I was 13. After over 30 years I still sometimes wish I had a mom to honor on Mother's Day.
My wife has been a great mom. I remind my kids of that often and that on Mother's Day and her birthday to do whatever they can to show appreciation (yes, the rest of the year, too).
Reply:Yes that is Roses For Momma ,by Red Sovine. Only I seem to recall her leaving the flower shop and him driving on in his rig, where he passed the local cemetery and saw the boy kneeling by his Mom's grave.
But I agree whole heatedly with your advice, never ever take anything for granted......because no one is promised a tomorrow! This is my second mother's day without my Mom and I would move heaven and hell to be able to hand her flowers instead of placing them on her grave. But now isn't the time for me to get into this, I could definitely loose it this week-end.
God Bless every Mother out there....and please let them know how special they are to you.

Can you write a story for me?
Once upon a time there were 2 DINOSAURS who were best friends. They llived by themselves in a very large garden behind a castle where 2 evil WIZARDS plotted against the King of the land. Although these two dinosaurs were worried about their King, they spent their days eating FLOWERS and playing with butterflies.
One day, they heard strange MUSIC coming from the castle. They quietly approached the windows to take a peak inside. They saw the two Wizards standing around a large box where the music seemed to be coming from. They were both wearing strange, large JEWELRY around their necks and on their arms. The outside of the box was so covered with stamps from the different countries that it passed through, it looked like a STAMP COLLECTING dream! But this was no DISNEY MOVIE, and there was nothing funny about these Wizards.
The Dinosaurs decided to tell the King about this strange behavior. When they got to the King's palace, they found him playing BOARD GAMES with his daughter, the Princess. They told the King of the box, the music and the jewelry. He said that he would send his ANIMAL spies to watch over the Wizards wherever they went.
But the Dinosaurs were worried that wouldn't be enough to keep the King safe. They prayed to JESUS, and Buddha, and Mohammed, and Elvis (they really covered all their bases!) on behalf of the King and the kingdom. They returned to the castle and found that the Wizards had left a note on the door saying that they had gone CAMPING. But these dinosaurs weren't living LIFE IN THE 1800's - they knew better than to believe those Wizards! They snuck into the castle, destroyed the box where the music was coming from.
Thinking they had saved the day, they celebrated with a party in the garden behind the castle.
Two days later, the Wizards returned from their camping trip to find that their box had been destroyed. They came out to the garden and turned their anger onto the Dinosaurs.
"Why did you stomp on our box? Our new COMPUTERS were in there! We decided to give up being evil Wizards and become internet entreprenurs! We bought them from the Home SHOPPING Network and we can't get them replaced! We will punish you both severely for your actions!!"
So the Wizards turned the garden into an amusement park where the Dinosaurs are tethered to a pole and CHILDREN ride on their backs from sunrise to sunset.
The moral of this story: Don't let Dinosaurs live in your garden.

Girls, what colour shoes go well with a pale yellow dress? Besides yellow and white shoes?
The dress is sleeveless and below the knees. Its pale yellow NOT canary yellow. Its a casual dress (with a pale flower print) you would wear to an outdoor event like a picnic etc.
Its casual enough to go shopping in too. What colour shoes or sandals go well with this kind of dress. Thanks
Girls, what colour shoes go well with a pale yellow dress? Besides yellow and white shoes?
Wear some flats or wedges. I can't think of any other colors. If you want to make a statement, wear purple or green shoes.
Reply:RED!
So hot. So in. Can't go wrong with it.
Red pumps, definatly.
Reply:pale blue or pink
Reply:If you have pale skin complexion then I think a #669900 (see colorschemer.com/online).
If you have darker skin complexion then I would recommend #999900.
Reply:youre probably gonna think this is retarded, but i would pick like a bright blue or red
Reply:beige sandels with silver or pale green straps
Reply:RED SHOES!!!
Reply:I'd try a tan/nude/natural color. They'll enlongate the leg and look great with pale yellow. If you want to get them at Nordstrom, there is free shipping this month when you buy a pair of shoes. You can always return them at the store for free if they don't fit. Here are the details:
Reply:Pink, black goes with everything baige navy blue also to make the outfit pop their is always red!!!
Reply:I would go for a light brown (taupe type color). If you go with a shoe like silver, etc., I would go with one more on the gold tone as gold looks better with yellow than silver (my opinion) - a cute little pair of goldish color sandals would be very cute.
Reply:Gold, Silver, Bronze
Reply:a very light green, or the same as the color of the flowers.
Reply:Red. This brings some "bang" to your outfit, if ya know what I mean.
Reply:i think silver would go well with it.

I would like to have a woman give my wife a massage for valentines day present,,, at our house?
works at flower shop, and really tired around then,, of course flowers or candy out of question !
have you ever had a massage at your house,, and how do i find someone that, would be right,,
she said this sounds wonderful,,,
do you like the sound of it !!
please give me your input! thanks
I would like to have a woman give my wife a massage for valentines day present,,, at our house?
Your wife is a very lucky woman. Look at the Classified section of your Sunday paper.
Make sure you order 2 people, 1 for your wife and 1 for yourself. Enjoy!
Reply:ITS GREAT!! I used to have a woman come to our house and give us (my husband and I) a massage. She brought the massage table, music, oil and everything...it was really amazing. Your wife will love it.
As how to find someone...we heard of her by mouth to ear....she worked at a local spa/gym and was willing to come to houses. Ask around.
Reply:It is a nice idea but I think you have ulterior motives b/c u are so adament on having a woman ( mayb' though you are just more comfortable w/ a woman doing it; I'll give you the benefit of the doubt). Anyway, do a search on the web for LCMT ( Licensed Clinical Massage Therapist Or LMT (Licensed Massage Therapist) or masseuse, contact a local Chiropractor ( many of them have in house masseuses), in your area. HAPPY V -DAY!!!
Reply:i don't know call around and ask .look in the phone book it sounds good to me good luck and she is lucky my hubby is gone out to sea on valentines day i wish we could be together but that's his job !
Reply:I would love for my husband to think of something like that for Valentine's Day. She is a lucky woman!
Reply:That would be great!! As long as you are not having some fantasy about it!! haha I think it is fine
Reply:Just call around at all the spas. I am sure someone will know of a person who will do that. The only negative would be the security issue. Alot would be afraid to go alone.
Reply:It's a wonderful idea that will be truly appreciated by your wife. I am a massage therapist who often does home visits. Ring around a few massage therapy clinics (avoid massage parlours!) and ask if they have home visits rates (as well as checking if their therapists are properly qualified). You will probably be able to purchase a gift voucher for your wife. A professional MT (massage therapist) will want to do a general health history form before commencing the treatment and will also be able to treat general aches and pains and muscle stiffness. You have a very lucky wife to have such a considerate husband :)

Rephrase this paragraph?
Eliza is portrayed by Shaw as an innocent dreamer. She is determined in a kind way; the reader sees this when she tries eagerly to sell to the gentleman without change. It becomes apparent that she is very poor, and needs success from her flower selling to live a life at all. Eliza shows great pride in her line of work, and that she stays above the law, not resorting to illegal prostitution or stealing. The introduction of Higgins taking down Eliza's speech gives the author a further chance to display Eliza's motivation to stay innocent and good. Another way that Shaw shows us the real Eliza is in the way that she starts crawling over the dirty ground to locate the “money thrown down at her by Higgins.” (page 12) The way that Eliza is so very grateful indicates her real kindness and simple mission to live any sort of life. She now realizes that she can ask Mr. Higgins to help her fulfill her dream and become a lady in a flower shop: an occupation for which she is not visually or phonet

The introduction of Higgins taking down Eliza's speech gives a further probability to the author to indicate Eliza's motive in order to remain innocent and good.

Please!!! help me with this word problem...how do i do it?
Deborah bought some roses and carnations at a local flower shop. Carnations cost $3.50 each and roses cost $5.50 each. The total cost of 12 flowers is $52.00. How many roses and how many carnations did Deborah buy?
Please!!! help me with this word problem...how do i do it?
Let's say R = Roses and C = Carnations. The problem tells you that R + C = 12 flowers total.
Now, if you have two unsolved elements, R and C, you can't solve the equation. So, you have to re-arrange the two unsolved elements into one unsolved element. How? Well, let's say you're going to solve C. Then, another way to look at R is to re-arrange the R + C = 12 into R = 12 - C. So, now you have (12 - C) + C = 12. (That's exactly the same as R + C = 12).
So, now you can create an equation to solve for C:
(3.50 x (12 - C)) + (5.50 x C) = 52.00
42 - 3.50C + 5.50C = 52.00
2C = 10
C = 5
You've solved C. Now you can solve for R, which is 12 - C.

What is a good gift to bring to an "Open House" for a new eatery (sandwich shop)?
Our friend is opening a breakfast/lunch eatery and has invited us to the open house. We would like to present a gift of some kind along with our good luck wishes, but can't think of anything other than flowers or a plant. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
What is a good gift to bring to an "Open House" for a new eatery (sandwich shop)?
A small goldfish bowl. set it up nicely with pebbles, water plants and two or three goldfish. It brings good luck and harmony.
Reply:to tell you the truth, that's about all i can think of too. i mean, it's not like you can get a present for the store! and it would be weird to get something for your friends, as if it were their birthday or something...but i suppose one good thing might be a nice bottle of champagne--anything celebratory, i suppose, balloons, etc.
Reply:I reckon a framed poster print. There are some really good old band tour posters you can get so find out what band your friends are into, perhaps.
Reply:How about some type of wall plaque to commemorate her opening.
Reply:buy some kind of fountain to signify the flow of money the place will generate
Reply:That's a tough one, maybe you can get them a gift basket...not so much for the store but for them.
