im planning on sending a friend of mine flowers to her while she is work but i dont know what i should write in the card. were not even dating and i dont even know if she likes me. its long distance so im jsut having a local florist do this for me. i just dont know what i should write in teh note without sounding awkward for her. i was thinking aobut just writing "Happy Valentines Day! I miss you! From a close friend." im thinking of not signign my name too. or should i?
What should i write on a valentines day card?
i think u should write that but with u'r name.
Reply:Print out this post. She'll be pleased that you had to ask complete strangers to explain your feelings for her.
Reply:Of course you should sign your name. Otherwise someone else might get the credit for your efforts. Just say, "Hey, I was thinking of you and what better way to let you know, than by this card and the flowers, and what better day to do it, than on Valentines day. Have a good one". It can be as simple as that. Okay? Good luck dude, oh and have a happy Valentines Day, from me. ';-)
Reply:I think your idea is just fine and maybe email / IM her / text her or call her and say so how did you like the flowers? She'll blush for sure!! :)

Should Malaysia ban Valentine's Day celebration?
Saudi Arabia has asked florists and gift shops to remove all red items until after Valentine's Day, calling the celebration of such a holiday a sin, local media reported Monday.
"As Muslims we shouldn't celebrate a non-Muslim celebration, especially this one that encourages immoral relations between unmarried men and women, " Sheikh Khaled Al-Dossari, a scholar in Islamic studies, told the Saudi Gazette, an English-language newspaper.
Since Malaysia has a majority muslim population, I'm curious why Valentine's Day is so openly celebrated. Your views please.
Should Malaysia ban Valentine's Day celebration?
Valentine's Day been celebrated for decades locally.
Only recent years, it's been too commercialized.
I don't think Valentine's Day should be banned, just because of it's celebration of love (not necessary for couples but also for family, friends %26amp; etc).
Besides Saudi Arabia %26amp; Malaysia have (mostly) totally different style %26amp; government policies. You don't see Malaysian women covered up %26amp; only hanging out with female.
We're multiracial.
Even if Muslims don't celebrate it. Others non-Muslim do celebrate it as well. The Chinese even have their own "Chinese Valentine's Day, whereby they will throw tangerines into the sea/lake/river/longkang to connect to their other half".
While the "eligible bachelors" will try to fish for the tangerines often with message note of name %26amp; contact %26amp; etc. lah.
Besides most S.Arabians - arrange marriage. While Malaysians it's mostly Sendirian Berhad thing. Oh yeah the rate of divorce is increasing %26amp; the rate of marriage isn't improving. It's well known that many Chinese don't get married nowadays %26amp; thus the decrease of offsprings.
While more %26amp; more Indians are marrying late citing unable to find a compatible partner or work.
So Malaysia shouldn't %26amp; wouldn't be so radical as to ban such a simple loving day.
S.Arabia are Muslim country %26amp; gov. thus it's their right to implement such rules for their country %26amp; one have to respect it due to their beliefs.
Reply:Hahahha.. you forgot, love between siblings, friends, parents and spouse.. well yes, as a Muslim, we shud noe it ourself that valentine is not to be celebrated.. there are other ways you could express your love to ur sibling, friends, parents and spouse.. not only on valentine, we shud show ur love everyday!!! I think that if the Jais/Jawi catch all these ppl doing maksiat, we will see no valentines..
Reply:yeah. likewise malaysia has to start banning celebration of 1st january too. it's western, you know? oh and 31st august, it doesnt exist in the islamic calendar, and it came about as a direct result of western influence. maybe we should just die of loneliness in malaysia. period

Reply:It should be banned under Malaysian Syariah law as this is a celebration whch leds to maksiat.However,JAKIM should make sure that their oprations does not invlove non-muslim(leave them to the police since they are not restircted to Malaysian syariah law)as this caused controversy long while ago.Anything which bring us to maksiat should be stayed away and valentine's day is one of them.Valentine's Day is so openly celebrated because tthe law is too loose that the muslims(non-muslims might invlove as well)use such celebration to do maksiat.

I also love to join the Greek orthodox when they celebrate easter. The ceremony is ornate and the music lovely. I think this a personal choice and you don't have to be unfaithful in order to do it. I hope that helps.

Reply:Yes we should because it's not our culture and usually maksiat increases during this celebration.
Reply:It's the same as any other day. What matters is 'will you commit sin ?'.

While Malaysia is a muslim country, it has got multi-racial community.
Hence, i still believe Valentine day should be celebrated openly.
Reply:Ban this and that and more of it will come. Love is for any living things and dont hate it by ban one of the day of love!
Reply:It has no religious value at all in the modern time. So no need to ban it. For those who have objections, don't celebrate, people who want to celebrate, let them celebrate.

Is this a good idea? I don't think I'll see her again, but I have a crush on her?
I am on vacation halfway around the world. While here I met this girl who works at the fitness club I frequent, my knowledge or the language here is decent, but certainly not great; therefore I am usually uncomfortable talking with the locals, but with her, I feel really comfortable. I've met her three times here, each time we've talked for at least an hour. I am about to leave for the gym soon, would it be alright if I got a florist to send her flowers while I am at the gym to surprise her? The problem is I am leving in three days and might not see her again; so would it make any sense to even send her flowers? She's said stuff like "not to forget her" etc, but she doesn't have internet, and doesn't speak English at all.....what do you think? flowers or just go to the gym as usual and say bye?
Is this a good idea? I don't think I'll see her again, but I have a crush on her?
Just say bye with nice exchange of words or maybe ask her out to have a coffee or something and tell her that ur leaving in 3 days time so u'd like to spend time with her just before leaving since she became ur good friend. Then prolly u can give her some flowers but any which way if she gets involved with u it'll break her heart or maybe if shez sensible she'd just take it in stride and move on.
Reply:Go for the flowers!
You never know what will happen and it'll brighten her day.
Reply:if you give her flowers and leave ued brek her heart dont give her flowers sorry

What can I buy my mum for mothers day? She lives so far away, it wont get there in time if I post it today.?
I would like to get something delivered from a local business near her, but I don't know any. I know florists will deliver flowers and chocolates if I get stuck, but can anyone think of anything else? Thanks
What can I buy my mum for mothers day? She lives so far away, it wont get there in time if I post it today.?
how about a beauty parlor, nail salon, a spa - any sort of places like that near her. do a search on line if you are not sure, than call one of them, get a gift certificate from them and have it sent to your mom. all moms love to be pampered. hope this helps.
Reply:Flowers will get there on time. Not to mention many flower shops sell items like spa baskets, wine baskets and other gifts.

How many flowers in a bouqet?
I am getting married in February and have decided I want white roses and white lisianthus for my bouqet (thanks to many of you who helped me with my question : ))
I only have my sister as my maid of honor and thats it, so Im wondering, how many roses/lisianthus do I need for my bouqet, and how many for my sisters? (hers should be a little smaller, right?)
If any of you can tell me a range (20-25? etc) that would be great. I am really considering doing them myself as they are the only two bouqets, and having a local florist do the boutineers and corsages, so I will save some money.
Im going to start calling florists in my area and asking them for a price quote for just the bouts and corsages and then one that includes the bouqets to see what it will cost me, I just thought it would be helpful for me to be able to say " I want a hand-tied bouqet of 15 roses and 10 lisianthus" so that I can get a better quote without having to travel from store to store.
How many flowers in a bouqet?
12 is the average sized bouquet, so i would go with 12.

I'm having a Black and White wedding...?
Hello, I'm getting married on octoboer 11th 2008. And I'm having a black and white wedding, with deep red flowers and need a little bit of advice....
First off I'm having troubles finding a florist in Minnesota...If you know of any that there prices are not to high let me know and also I don't know much about flowers and I'm not sure what kind would look good? Maybe with me having such a eligant wedding color probably stick with roses?
Second off can anyone recomenned me to a cake maker in MN. Does local grocey stores do good (ex. Corborns, Lunds Bylers, Cub?) I've heard they are cheaper.
and lastlley I need some ideals for center pieces.
I'm having a Black and White wedding...?
You could always use the black baccara roses. They are gorgeous deep red roses...although I am pretty sure that the can be a little pricey. Here are a few pics.

A cheaper alternative might be some beautiful red tulips. The gerbera daisies are much more affordable as well. i had my girls carry the gerbera daisies and i carried roses. Ended up saving a lot of money doing it that way...here is a pic of the red gerbera's...i think they are beautiful

As for centerpieces, do you want something black and white, or do you want to incoporate the red into the centerpieces?
Here are a few pictures that should give you some good ideas.

Reply:well black and white can be very sexy yet be hard to do center pieces that go with it. i say go with red roses in a short vace or look for some sleek black and white figures also you can do what i have seen and looks very nice get black and white photos of people that have passed and use them as centerpieces or black and white photos of the two of you threw out the engagement and dating
Reply:have black and white ostritch feathers in a vase..it makes for a stylish and diffrent look to flowers. these feathers are very long and fluffy, i would have a black one then a white one next to it and so on till you have enough to make a 'plume' in the vase. Also you could have black and white candle sticks with LCD candles and hang charms from the candle sticks.
Reply:That's my date too!!!!! Oddly enough our colors are black and white! For our centerpieces we are doing small vases with red stones and a white candle in them with a small thin black ribbon wrapped around the mouth of the vase.
I can't help much with the florist or the cake, but I can give you any other advice for a black and white wedding on that date! Just e-mail me if you want!
Congrats!

Not knowing which part of MN you are looking in try the vendor links below, hopefully they will help. Most bakeries even the local grocery stores will allow you a small sample. Do a taste test and price checking for the size you need to feed the number of guests. You can also find vendors below for your flowers. They will have photos from past clients to show you for ideas, you can mix ideas up. There are a lot of good suggestions already listed on here for center pieces and color ideas. Go to google and type in your city the item you are looking for and then start calling asking questions and visiting with those that have made a good impression.
Best of Luck
Reply:I think that red with black and white is over powering, you may need to add a softer colour or sofen up the whole image;
perhaps introduce a third colour? (but you the bride can get away with the all red bouquet)
e.g. see how a white sash softens a black maid dress;

First off I'm having troubles finding a florist in Minnesota...If you know of any that there prices are not to high let me know and also I don't know much about flowers and I'm not sure what kind would look good? Maybe with me having such a eligant wedding color probably stick with roses?
Second off can anyone recomenned me to a cake maker in MN. Does local grocey stores do good (ex. Corborns, Lunds Bylers, Cub?) I've heard they are cheaper.
and lastlley I need some ideals for center pieces.
I'm having a Black and White wedding...?
You could always use the black baccara roses. They are gorgeous deep red roses...although I am pretty sure that the can be a little pricey. Here are a few pics.

A cheaper alternative might be some beautiful red tulips. The gerbera daisies are much more affordable as well. i had my girls carry the gerbera daisies and i carried roses. Ended up saving a lot of money doing it that way...here is a pic of the red gerbera's...i think they are beautiful

As for centerpieces, do you want something black and white, or do you want to incoporate the red into the centerpieces?
Here are a few pictures that should give you some good ideas.

Reply:well black and white can be very sexy yet be hard to do center pieces that go with it. i say go with red roses in a short vace or look for some sleek black and white figures also you can do what i have seen and looks very nice get black and white photos of people that have passed and use them as centerpieces or black and white photos of the two of you threw out the engagement and dating
Reply:have black and white ostritch feathers in a vase..it makes for a stylish and diffrent look to flowers. these feathers are very long and fluffy, i would have a black one then a white one next to it and so on till you have enough to make a 'plume' in the vase. Also you could have black and white candle sticks with LCD candles and hang charms from the candle sticks.
Reply:That's my date too!!!!! Oddly enough our colors are black and white! For our centerpieces we are doing small vases with red stones and a white candle in them with a small thin black ribbon wrapped around the mouth of the vase.
I can't help much with the florist or the cake, but I can give you any other advice for a black and white wedding on that date! Just e-mail me if you want!
Congrats!

What are my chances of getting into a semi-selective college?
My grades were decent freshman year, perfect (4.0 gpa, 4.2 weighted) sophomore year, but so far this semester has been really hard for me; I still have to take my exams but I think I will end up with 3 A's, 2 B-'s and possibly one C+ or B-. Ive had some personal issues but I think I can do much better next semester. my gpa is 3.7.I'm in marching band, color guard, yearbook, and I have a really great job as a florist. I plan on taking more extracurriculars and possibly tutoring, and will probably get into NHS at my school. I am also going to volunteer this summer and take a few design/architecture classes at our local college. I want to major in Landscape Architecture in college, and the most selective schools I will apply to are probably UVa, Illinois Urbana-Champlain, and UW Madison. What are my chances of getting in to any given school, mainly the ones mentioned, even with an iffy start to my junior year? (p.s.- havent taken ACT's yet but I took a practice test and am aiming for a 28
What are my chances of getting into a semi-selective college?
A 4.0/4.2 GPA is not decent, it's great.
Anyway, I'd say even though your grades went down, you still will almost definitely get into UofI, you have a very good shot at Madison, and Virginia is a possibility. You should try to do really well on your ACT--try for a little better than a 28. Not that that is bad at all, but that is on the lower end of the range for Madison and Virginia.
Good luck!
Reply:Colleges only see your final grades; just do better next semester and you'll be fine. The only school out of those that you might have trouble getting into is UVa.

Islam will win godless West without war or bombs, first Muslim son Obama in USA, then mosques in Europe?true?
after Kenyan Muslim son %26amp; Indonesian Muslim stepson Barack Hussein Obama wins USA Presidency this November, will Islam win over the rest of Europe since many Westerners are godless agnostics and not producing kids too, so Muslims can migrate all over Europe and USA to help save Western civilization from godlessness and moral decay? long live Barack Hussein Obama, will this be the cry of celebration of all Muslims of the world if he wins against Hillary Clinton and wins Nov. election?
more Muslim mosques for Europe and USA? Obama said he will pull out USA troops immediateky in Iraq, another victory for militant pure Islam?
Germany's Biggest Mosque Spurs Fear of `Islamization' of Europe
By Seda Sezer
April 3 (Bloomberg) -- The twin spires of Germany's largest Gothic cathedral will soon be joined on the Cologne skyline by the minarets of the country's biggest mosque.
The $23 million Ehrenfeld Central Mosque, scheduled to be completed in about two years, will help bring Islam out of the back streets and reduce the influence of radicals, Mayor Fritz Schramma says. Others see the building as a symbol of Islamic extremism and further evidence that Cologne's 120,000 Muslims, more than half of them Turkish immigrants, refuse to integrate.
``I pray at the little chapel next to the Cologne Cathedral, and my prayer doesn't become more valuable if I pray in the big cathedral,'' said Laszlu Reischl, 56, a taxi driver. ``I don't understand why they insist on building a big mosque.''
The controversy reflects Germany's struggle over almost five decades to incorporate its largest ethnic minority. Tensions were revived in February when Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan told Turks at a Cologne rally that ``assimilation is a crime against humanity.'' Some lawmakers who oppose mostly Muslim Turkey's bid to join the European Union accused him of preaching Turkish nationalism on German soil.
Cologne has Germany's highest concentration of Muslims, at 12 percent of the population. The new mosque will be built in the immigrant district of Ehrenfeld, about two miles from the 13th- century Cologne Cathedral.
The 53,800-square-foot building will fit 1,200 worshippers. It will replace a converted pharmaceutical warehouse that has housed the mosque since 1984 and holds about half as many people. Many spill into the parking lot during Friday prayers.
Permanently Here
``When our fathers came here, they rented the least expensive place to pray,'' says Mehmet Gunet, legal adviser to the Cologne-based Turkish Islamic Union for Religious Affairs. ``We are permanently here and we want more beautiful prayer houses.''
German architect Paul Boehm, who has worked on local churches, won a contest to design the mosque. The building consists of curved concrete walls connected to a central dome by glass to convey openness and transparency.
The two 55-meter (180 feet) minarets will be about a third as high as the cathedral spires. The complex will also house offices, restaurants and shops.
``We want to show that Muslims can live in peace in a society,'' Gunet says. ``We are coming out of hidden places and saying, `We are here, you can come and look in.'''
`Parallel Society'
The Islamic Union, a group of Imams and theologians appointed by the Turkish government's Religious Affairs authority, is awaiting final planning approval and expects construction to begin in June.
Opposition to the mosque has been spearheaded by the Pro Cologne citizens initiative, which holds five seats in the town parliament. Over the past two years, the group has circulated petitions and leaflets and held rallies against the project.
The mosque will allow local Turks to slip further into a ``parallel society,'' where many don't even speak German, says Manfred Rouhs, a Pro Cologne representative.
``It's a symbol of Islamization in Europe and the failure of integration,'' Rouhs says. ``It's a danger to our European way of living.''
About 60 percent of Cologne residents oppose a large mosque with minarets, according to a July survey by Koelner Stadt- Anzeiger, the city's biggest newspaper.
Headscarf Hairdresser
Turks first came to Germany in the 1960s, when they were invited in to help ease a postwar labor shortage. There are about 3 million ethnic Turks in Germany today.
On Ehrenfeld's main shopping street, some Turkish stores offer special services, such as the hairdresser with private rooms for women with headscarves. A barber provides Turkish tea fresh from the samovar, an urn traditionally used to heat water.
Uneasiness about the mosque reflects Germany's ``Islamophobia, racism and xenophobia,'' says Mehmet Yildirim, general secretary of the Islamic Union.
``This society didn't have much of a relationship with different cultures and religions in the past, and they have prejudices and worries,'' Yildirim says.
Mayor Schramma says the mosque will help build trust and public acceptance of Islam.
``What Erdogan meant was assimilation by force, and we don't have that here in Germany,'' he says. ``We want to end the separation, but it must not come from the top down.''
Speak German
The Islamic Union has been open to negotiation, agreeing to reduce the size of the prayer area, to conduct the prayer call through indoor speakers, and to offer half of the shops to German business owners, Schramma says.
``The next step is that the language in the mosque in time will be German,'' the mayor says. ``The second- and third- generation, which were born here, should be ready to accept that as their mother language.''
Claus Moskopp, 52, an Ehrenfeld florist, points out that the minarets won't even be as high as the nearby 243-meter Deutsche Telekom AG tower.
``We had this mosque here as it is for a long time and no one said anything, but minarets bother people,'' he says. ``It doesn't bother me because the minarets will match the city landscape.''

The greatest fear the radical Islamists should have regarding their cause, is the day the good old boys in the US of A decide to play cowboys and radicals.

Further to Styvies question earlier, if YAHOO SA ANSWERS were a soap opera on TV what would the theme tume be? What roles would the character's take?
I can see Cakes as a kindly lady with a petisserie and Cheri as the florist next door. Alf a spirited school teacher, Ayiza a controversial "beatnik" type street artist. Heavy D, the butcher with the best boerewors in town, Styvies an entrepreneur with Mars Attack. I can see Alf and Bull propping up the local bar and getting into rows with people whereupon landladies Inno and Unathi put them back in their place. Porgie and Tsepo strike me as the local cops etc etc As for me.... he he he............ that's up to someone else I suppose.

and my character must frequent Cakes' pasterie, otherwise I need an increase. Vango could be a second hand car sales person, with him at least there would be honesty.

During his rounds to sell his artist, Alfie meets this newspaper critic called Bull and after sharing some whisky they decide to put pressure on the SABC to play local talent more. That's where Ayiza comes in. His buddies from the Eastern Cape fill the corridors of power at SABC. They agree but advise that MJ must be taken on national tour and the preferred company to do that is co-owned by zxcv and Tsepo, who connections are high at SA Miller. and the first stop will be in Pretoria where Blue Bull is the Stadium manager.....the story continues...^^(((%26lt;*%26gt;)))^^

Flowers not delivered by FTD on Valentine's Day?
A week ago I ordered flowers from a local FTD shop and on Feb.15 I get an email saying that "at this time we do not have a florist available in your recipient's delivery area who can deliver your product on 2/14." Can you believe that? She lives in the middle of MANHATTAN!! Don't tell me there are NO florists or deliveries in Manhattan!
This is just unacceptable, and on an occasion like this guys have to hang their head in shame because FTD could NOT do their job. This is the ONE day that makes FTD what it is...and they don't deliver.
I'm wondering how often does this happen where FTD can't deliver on Valentine's Day - let me know if you didn't get your FTD flower delivery, as scheduled, on Valentine's Day.
Flowers not delivered by FTD on Valentine's Day?
On Valentines Day, I learned a long time ago to contact the florist directly. When they price is given I include a good tip ahead of time. Remember that tip is To Insure Promptness. As for FTD make sure you stop payment with your credit card company. File a complaint if you can. Then to do damage control with your sweetheart, print out the email and give it to her with flowers that you bring her yourself. When she looks up from reading it, tell her that you were foolish to have trusted anyone else with a message from your heart.
Reply:that sucks. i live in florida and my boyfriend ordered me flowers and they STILL havent been delivered! I have to go pick them up myself NEVER going to have them ordered by FTD again!
Reply:I think what happens was as they were getting paid more fo the flowers in the days of valentines they cancelled the previous orders, and sold it for more.
Well you cant really do much now, you will get the money back or an apology but nothing more, how about you handpick some flowers, from garden, dont have to be roses or very nice, anything that is cute, make a bouquet type thing and give it to her now, she will appreciate it and love you more.
Reply:That's too bad. Please I live in NJ %26amp; FTD is worldwide. Hope your valentine forgave you.

Reply:that sucks. i live in florida and my boyfriend ordered me flowers and they STILL havent been delivered! I have to go pick them up myself NEVER going to have them ordered by FTD again!
Reply:I think what happens was as they were getting paid more fo the flowers in the days of valentines they cancelled the previous orders, and sold it for more.
Well you cant really do much now, you will get the money back or an apology but nothing more, how about you handpick some flowers, from garden, dont have to be roses or very nice, anything that is cute, make a bouquet type thing and give it to her now, she will appreciate it and love you more.
Reply:That's too bad. Please I live in NJ %26amp; FTD is worldwide. Hope your valentine forgave you.

Birthday Party?
Mrs. B, a school teacher, was turning 31. Her students all decided to throw her a party.
"What a great party!" she says.
Then it was time to give her her presents.
Mary, the daughter of the local candy shop owner, gives her a box.
"You'll never guess what it is!" she said.
"Hmm," says Mrs. B "Candy?"
"Yes! How did you guess?" she said.
Ricky, the florist's son, gave her a box.
"You'll never guess what it is!" he said.
"Hmm," says Mrs. B "Flowers?"
"Yes! How did you guess?" he said.
It went on like this for a while.
Timmy, the son of the owner of the liquor shop, gave her a box. It had a yellow liquid dripping off a corner.
"You'll never guess what it is!" he said.
Mrs. B tasted a tiny drop of liquid.
"Hmm," says Mrs. B "Beer?"
"No," he said.
Once again, Mrs. B tasted a tiny drop of liquid.
"Wine?" she asked.
"Noo," he said.
Mrs. B tasted another tiny drop of liquid.
"Champagne?" she asked.
"Nooo! It's a puppy!" he said.
Birthday Party?

Before I post...someone I blocked on here because he stated where is the ******* question you *******, contacted Yahoo. so Yahoo deleted 2 of my questions saying that they were not questions....so I may start each "Question" with a "Question"...
Two boll weevils grew up in South Carolina. One went to
Hollywood and became a famous actor. The other stayed
behind in the cotton fields and never amounted to much.
The second one, naturally, became known as the lesser
of two weevils.
A three-legged dog walks into a saloon in the Old West
He slides up to the bar and announces: "I'm looking
for the man who shot my paw."
Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused his
dentist's Novocain during root canal work? He wanted
to transcend dental medication.
A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel
and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent
tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager
came out of the office and asked them to disperse.
"But why?" they asked, as they moved off.
"Because," he said, "I can't stand chess nuts boasting
in an open foyer."
There was a man who entered a local paper's pun
contest. He sent in ten different puns, in the hope
that at least one of the puns would win.
Unfortunately, no pun in ten did.
A woman had twins, and gave them up for adoption.
One of them went to a family in Egypt and was named
"Amal." The other went to a family in Spain, and they
named him "Juan." Years later, Juan sent a picture
of himself to his mom. Upon receiving the picture, she
told her husband that she wished she also had a
picture of Amal. Her husband responded, "But they are
twins. If you've seen Juan, you've seen Amal."
And the worst of the bunch:
These friars were behind on their belfry
payments, so they opened up a small florist shop to
raise the money. Everyone liked to buy flowers from
the men of God, but the 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. He asked his mother to go and ask the
friars to get out of business. They ignored her too.
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
their shop. Terrified, they did so - thereby proving
(are you ready for this?!)
that Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent florist friars.

Cold calling to sell roses!?
Will it work?? I know its a difficult question as it deponds on way too many sectore not only one, But i went around my local area, and with the price im charging the florists were very keen they advised myself to basically carry out rounds...which means driving and cold calling and they would buy if they running low on stock??
Is it me or is she having me on?
Cold calling to sell roses!?
If you can beat the wholesale prices currently charged, along with instant 'on demand' delivery, I'm sure many Florists would be interested
By all means cold call all those in your local area and make sure your leave price lists, your mobile phone number and a 'instant delivery' promise.
Due to costs, it's doubtful if your should continue to visit them all on a regular basis - however it's a good idea to 'drop in' on those you pass after a delivery .. this helps build up a relationship and confirm in their minds that you are 'always available' to do a delivery
Reply:Cold calling to sell Roses, or any other product is not advice able at all. Due to unproductive call, you will be increasing your over heads, i.e., selling cost or reduced profit. You are required to have a fair, straight, and simple, trade policy, engaged uniformly with your each retailer.
With all the Best.

How did a guy I met through an internet dating site find me I never gave him the town I was living in?
I met an guy over 1 year ago through a dating site, we have been emailing one another for about 10 months. I never told him the true city I live in, but the true stat and I Never told him my real name !. He lives in Tulsa Oklahoma. Also when we met on the dating site my picture was posted and his wasn't but I enjoyed talking to him and he promise to send a picture , he never has, but says soon, (right). We have never talked on the phone and I made sure not to disclose any personal information, but I did tell him a few times I go walking on the seawall and I live near Houston. Well, today is my birthday ( never told borth year) and I receive an email from him, that I have flowers waiting for me at a local flower shop and he says he hopes I live in or near that city. Yes I can the florist and the flowers and gifts are there. Should I be afraid , during the couse of us emailing he seem to be ok...but now I'm worried . How did he find me with such little information
How did a guy I met through an internet dating site find me I never gave him the town I was living in?
"go walking on the seawall and I live near Houston."
How many bodies of water are really anywhere near Houston?
Probably just deduction, hopefully he isn't a stalker and just a harmless guy with a sincere crush on you.
Reply:You should be glad he is not an idiot and he was able to put 2 and 2 together and pick a near by shop based on the fact that you live near Houston and take walks on the seawall. also you said that he said that he hopes you live near that shop which means that he was just making an educated guess. you don't have anything to worry about unless he shows up at your house, but then it will be too late.
Reply:that is scary...could he have gotten from the dating website some kind of way?
Reply:you'd be surprised what you can accomplish on the internet nowadays. For about ten bucks, I can find you by your last name and first name, and the process of elimination.
Reply:Honestly it isn't very hard to find out, there are way to many ways to list.
What you should hope for is that he was actually paying attention to the things you said and pieced it together over time through various little things you said (possible since you have been talking for so long), as opposed to going searching for you on the internet (Creepy)
All in all, if he sent flowers on your birthday to a local flower shop, I would assume that hes not an insane stalker, (Aka 10 months of talking should let you know of what his personality is like) and just likes you and was trying to surprise you.
I do not know your personal history or the things you said, but do not be to quick to freak out ;). I would suggest that you just ask him, and odds are he will tell you what it was you said that he remembered.
Reply:There are places on the internet where you can type in some info and it will show you some things that can help with a search!
In your case, i think you should not converse with this person any more, change your e-mail address, tell your parents about it, and do not go to meet him!
Haven't you been watching that program on TV, where the TV program has a fake young girl who contacts some guy, then he is invited to a certain address, When he shows up, with sex toys, and other things, he's arrested and charged! there are all types of crackpots out there preying on young girls, with just the method that guy used to find you!
Beware--beware--tell your folks, don't fall for his wiles!
Those types of people use e-mail and the internet to further their games, so don't go to pick up the flowers, because he'll know to further his search, and might even find your home, and all he'll have to do is watch and wait, until you're home alone, then he'll swoop in, and you won't be able to defend yerself,!
He might even have told the flower shop to call him when you go to pick up the flowers, and they may have called him when you called to inquire if they were there1 See how easy it is, if ya aren't very careful??

Reply:If your phone number (the one he has) is listed in a directory, you can do a reverse search on the number and find who it is and what their address is. And it's perfectly legal because it's public information (from a phone book).
Reply:Do NOT meet him before he sends a photo.
I had a coworker who was meeting women online through E-Harmony and only telling them he was "fat."
True indeed.
He weighed a good 450-plus and bathed rarely.
Overweight isn't the only problem someone could present, but people should like the looks of their potential mates/dates.
Take your photo down and don't show it to any guys who have not ostensibly shown you theirs first. And don't lie any more.
Reply:Do you have any personal information on your email? If it was your personal email acct you used to email him, it could have come with your name on it. He didn't just pull the information out of the air. The dating site won't devulge any information so it's not them. I would be worried too, have you thought about asking him where he got the information? Or you could just say that you never received the flowers %26amp; gift, that way he won't be sure he has the right address.
Reply:Baby, If he hasn't done anything by now, chances r he won't, its been 2 long 4 that and he would of already made his move if he really wanted 2 rape or even kill u, don't u think. Chill out baby, if he waited this long chances r, hes doing it because he cares and respects u, otherwise he wouldn't of waited this long.
Reply:He took a good guess you overly paranoid freak.
Probably pulled up google earth. Punched in Houston, and then looked for seawall areas. And kept his fingers crossed and guessed.
How bout, you've been talking to him for 10 months, call him on the phone for crying out loud and thank him profusely for caring enough to even TRY and send you flowers.
Yep, and could have just typed in your last name into the white pages and kept his fingers crossed. which is why he picked one out and said he hoped.
Reply:Well if you have your town posed anywhere else then im sure it would be pretty easy. People can do anything nowadays.
Reply:Don't let him know he got the city right for one. And if it's been 10 months and he won't send you a picture.....drop him...He's hiding for a reason. I don't know how he found you but someone I was talking to did something similar and I stopped talking to him. If you want him to know where you live you'd tell him. I would not talk to him anymore. If you are underage, tell you parents. It's better to admit to a mistake then not and end up dead.
Reply:it might be pure coninsidence. he may have remembered u saying u lived near houston and he decided to send to flowers to a shop there, hoping it would be close enough for you to pick them up. he doesnt know your house address so obviously he didnt do tht much investigating, if he had figured that out, then you should worry. so jst relax, this may jst be a nice guy who wanted to give you a happy birthday surprise. dont take it the wrong way

Florists won't deliever on Sundays?
Why is it so difficult to find a florist that does Mother's Day delivery?
My mom is a nurse and works on Sundays - I'd like to have her some flowers sent but nooooooo.... "We don't deliver on Sundays!," is all I keep getting. I even tried 1-800-Flowers and they said their local shops in that area wouldn't deliver on Sundays.
Good grief.. I'm so frustrated. Any ideas?
Florists won't deliever on Sundays?
Is there a floral shop in the hospital she works at. They are probably open on Sunday and since they are in the same building, would probably bring them to her.
Reply:My daughters both work for florists, and they have been busy since yesterday at dawn doing the mother's day deliveries. If it's important to you that it's delivered to her on Sunday, could you maybe find a friend or someone you know in the area to drop it off at the hospital?
If you call 1-800 flowers, they are just going to call a local florist, a lot of people don't understand that. My daughters were delivering valentine bouquets for 2 or 3 days after Feb 14 which were orders from 1-800 Flowers. I'm sure it will be the same for mothers day.
Reply:get them delivered today.........
there are 50 million Mothers who all expect flowers tomorrow................get a jump on them,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Reply:My daughters both work for florists, and they have been busy since yesterday at dawn doing the mother's day deliveries. If it's important to you that it's delivered to her on Sunday, could you maybe find a friend or someone you know in the area to drop it off at the hospital?
If you call 1-800 flowers, they are just going to call a local florist, a lot of people don't understand that. My daughters were delivering valentine bouquets for 2 or 3 days after Feb 14 which were orders from 1-800 Flowers. I'm sure it will be the same for mothers day.
Reply:get them delivered today.........
there are 50 million Mothers who all expect flowers tomorrow................get a jump on them,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Who are the best vendors in Spokane, WA?
Venue, caterer, baker, florist, etc.
I did a search at the Knot and on their local boards and they are for the Seattle/Tacoma metro area, not elsewhere in the state.

Is this a good idea for a business? Be Honest.?
I am really into making Cards and cakes. My fiance's sister is a trained florist too. I would like to set up a business in my local area in which you can get everything, all your cards, birthday cakes ect, balloons and flowers. Would this be a good idea for a buisness, is it a good idea to turn my hobby into my dream? I would also like to keep my weekend job would that be possible, I just work in a shop.
Is this a good idea for a business? Be Honest.?
That would definately be possible and sounds like a great idea. Just have someone run the shop for you or have one day off (on the weekend). You will have to invest in it, but if it becomes a great business, then you will get all the money back and more.
Reply:That is a really good idea.
Reply:I think its great as it is convenient. You can get all your special occasion stuff from one place. You should come up with whole package plans etc etc. Its a great idea. Good Luck dear!
Reply:Hi,cards and cakes are good,however your client base will be limited.Here is something you should consider.Health and wellness is a HUGE market since everybody wants to be healthy.You need to affiliate with a financially strong company that has unique nutritional products that people will buy and use.Their re-order rate is 80%.A company with a generous pay plan that does not require a genius to figure it out.Free web sites to market the products.Details can be found at www.dna911.info
Reply:Sounds good! If it's something you enjoy, then go for it!
Reply:It does sound like a really good idea and if you're good at it and enjoy it, it's perfect.
The only thing you might want to consider is doing one thing at a time. Why not start out with say, the florists on it's own, give it time and see if there is a demand for it and gradually bring in the other elements. If you try and do everything at once, you might make money from one thing and loose a shedload on everything else. I think it would also be confusing for customers, how would you advertise yourself for example? If you advertise yourself as a cake shop, card shop and florists all in one, you may not be able to cater for a particular customer group, which may drive custom away.
I would start out with one idea, make it successful, clearly define what you are doing, and then try and bring in other bits slowly over time. Good luck with it anyway.
Reply:go for it you can do anything if you want it enough
Reply:Sounds like a goer to me, you go for it!
Reply:That does sound like a great idea it would be nice to get everything in one place! Saves a lot of time for the customer plus it would be probably be cheaper to buy it all in one place too.
Reply:I would say that you have to believe that it is a good idea for it to succeed, the most important thing is to research your area, find out if there is a need for what you want to offer in your area, work out a business plan. As to keeping your job on, probably to start off with as a back up,but when the business takes off, as I am sure it will you will not have time. Good Luck.
Reply:Be careful with your decision. Think about who your competition would be? How many similar services are there in your area? The big supermarkets are increasingly monopolising...well everything it seems and some people would pick up all the things you're thinking of selling while they do their grocery shopping. Also bear in mind that, initially, you may not be able to take salaries from your business' takings until you are more established. Sorry to be negative, just trying to add some balance to your answers.
Reply:That sounds like a good idea to me! I set up in business myself a while ago, through the Princes Trust, if you're under 30 they help fund loads of projects. Its a great idea to turn a hobby into a dream, it means you'll be earning £ for doing something you enjoy - how many people can truely say that?!
The only thing I would say is research your competitors, if there aren't any, thats even better! If there is any, then make sure you offer a better service than they do.
And another mistake alot of people make is to try and undercut the competition - but especially in the market you're thinking of, if people pay more they perceive it as being worth more, think of Sainsburys. Alot of people think its expensive, but the ones that shop there think its better quality due to the price. In all fairness, its no different to Asda though.
Bloody good luck to you though! I would say, wholeheartedly, GO FOR IT!!
Reply:yeah go for it carpe diem they say but be prepared to put in lots of hours and probably quite a lot of investment so give up your weekend job and put 100% into making your business work not lining someone elses pockets good luck
Reply:Yes but I would use market research, primary, so hand out questionnaires in your local area, your place is just as important as prices and promotion. I hope your business becomes very successful, good luck :)
Reply:Hiya it sounds like a great idea but you would have to quit your job or get somebody to work for you at weekends as you would be catering for birthday party's and wedding etc.
P.S Good luck hope you do well with your dream
Reply:yes, i think its cool. its great that you actually enjoy your hobby and turning it into a business would be a good idea.
remember in order to make a profit, make sure that your income (all the money that goes into the business) is greater than your outcome (money that goes out of your business)
you probably only know this since your the one starting the business, but oh what the heck!
btw, good luck

Reply:Many start up businesses fail because they start with the PRODUCT rather than with the CUSTOMER. Your idea sounds good - but you have to find a way to test whether prospective customers would like it. Get yourself a clipboard and write on it (say) five key questions in relation to customer approval of your idea. Then spend a morning in a shopping mall and ask as many people as possible the questions. Test your idea on real people in a real shopping environment. What seems a great idea to you may not gel with real people. And don't forget to have some Price points in your questions. For example "If someone offered you this in a shop [list the deal] what would you be prepared to pay for it. If it was priced at $50 do you think this is (a) Expensive. (b) A fair price (c) Cheap.... you get the idea.
Good Luck!!
Reply:Starting any new business requires a lot of hard work and dedication. You need to be willing to give lots of energy to get this kind of project off the ground.
Do some research in your area, know your local market. What is the competition like?
I really like the concept so why shouldn't you make a successful business out of it.
Good luck!
Reply:sounds good
a sort of supermarket specialising in events
Reply:I would go for it there is a shop locally that does the same sort of thing and they are doing really well
Good Luck hope it all turns out well for you
Reply:Yes I think it is a very good idea and hope you go 4 it and make it a success.
Reply:I think it's a good idea, but it would need a hell of alot of hard hard work to get it going. To start with you probably couldn't employ anyone full time, so it would be mainly you doing it, as well as running the rest of your life.
I'd guess that once you'd had your first few customers, the most important marketing would be word of mouth - everyone at the party would have to know that your business had provided everything, and that also means that everyone there would know about it if anything went wrong or wasn't good.
Basically you'd be a Home Event Co-ordinator. I know someone who started their own events management company, basically providing this kind of thing for business events - it's hard work for less than great profits. As yours would be smaller scale, your profit margin would be less, so you'd have to think about why people would pay you to do something they could easily do themselves? I mean anyone can blow up a few balloons, buy a cake and some cards. What would you offer that would make your service worth paying for?
I think you'd have to kiss goodbye not just to your weekend job, but also to your weekends!
Reply:Sorry, but Tesco, Asda etc already do this. So you would be left with starting an on line business. You would have to drop the cakes if your working from home. Food hygiene certificate etc. Average kitchen would not get one. You could rent space of the Florist owner and sell your cards and balloons, but then you are competing with Clinton's etc. Is a fantastic idea you came up with, but your market is just not there. Also venture capitalist reading this would not support you as you want to keep your weekend job. Sorry just being honest...
Reply:This is a really good idea however you may not be able to keep your weekend job as well so it may be worth checking if you can work evenings instead. Go and see your bank manager with a sound business plan. If you have difficulties in setting one up check out the website below, but also keep in mind the possibilities for expanding e.g. hand crafted jewellery. so you could sell products in a package e.g. flowers, necklace, earrings and card!
Reply:Clinton Cards and the party shop do a similar thing baring the cake .People are not orientated to getting a cake with their cards under the same roof . If you could come up with a tailor made service at a price people are willing to pay then I reckon you could make a go of it . Why not produce a menu of what you can provide and do it door to door and see how it goes
Reply:There is only one thing annoying about getting ready for someones birthday, wedding, christening etc and that is traipsing round several shops buying the card, cake, decorations and flowers. Of course this is a good idea! All of it in one place, do you know how much if a time saver that sounds!? I hope this works out for you and your fiance's sister, go for it!! x
Reply:It depends on the competition. Say you have clintons in the same area or another similar store, there is no possible way you can compete on a massive scale, so like you said: selling everything, would be a bad idea. This means you should go for a niche market, say for example selling one product but with lots of variations to it as there are more profits to be made that way.
Whereas if there is little or no competition you should by all means go for tryin to sell a much larger range of prouducts as there are more profits to be made
Reply:That's a good idea - a "one-stop". You should tap into the market quite well.
One small piece of advice: you need to do a little work on your spelling, as you may be writing cards to go with the flowers, if you take orders over the phone.
Good luck!
Reply:Getting into cards is certainly a good idea. Even if there's a recession, people may dumb down on the present but they always buy a card, and possibly buy a better one because it helps their conscience about the present.
Reply:i think it is a very good ideal.but you must have a very good product.has for the weekend job thats touch and go.good luck.
Reply:yes it sounds good
but you need to look at the area where you plan to open the shop and look to see how many, cards, birthday cakes, balloons and flowers shop there is... will be a good idea or will you be just another shop....
start think of names and this could be important some thing catchy and funny would be good... and look at how shops in the area fitted out... you want to entice people through the door, but not say we are cheep and provide a crap service or we are too expensive so exclude 90%of the areas population,,,. this something you will need to look at... the population of the area and how much disposable income they have for this type of business

This site has information on every possible fundraising idea:
http://www.fundraiserhelp.com
They don't sell anything, but they really have great advice on how to make more money with any type of fundraising event, product sale, raffle, yard sale, car wash, donation request, or fundraiser.
Reply:It's going to be hard to blag this without actually lying! There is a lot of competition for these jobs and someone else will always have more experience than you. All I can suggest is that you give a lot of detail about the school fundraising you did and be vague about how long ago it was.
Why don't you volunteer to do some fundraising for some other orgs and get the experience to enable you to apply for a paid job?

Calling all Brides #2-ordering fresh bouquets from the Internet?
Okay, so most of you would not want to take the risk of ordering your flowers online due to the fear of damage in shipping. BUT! What if they arrived with a spill proof water supply attached and contained in a temp. regulated container? And to furthermore rest your worries, what if the business offered to replace the bouquet, if damaged in shipping, through another florist in your local area?
Of course shipping time would have to coordinate with your wedding time. If you get married at 8am on Saturday morning, your bouquet would be scheduled to arrive on Friday afternoon. Since some flowers are just to delicate to ship at all, the bouquete styles to choose from would containe very hardy flowers that have a longer shelf life and have year round availability. This would increase the chances that other florist in your local area would be able to fill the order quickly and easily if something did go wrong and the flowers were damaged.
I really appreciate your input!
Calling all Brides #2-ordering fresh bouquets from the Internet?
Sounds just ok. I mean great if they are damaged they are replaced but thats almost like a "yeah they better be"--I mean if my dress was damaged when I ordered it, they would replace that too. If it happens in shipping that is your responsibility to fix, not some amazing new thing you are doing for customers.
And it actually doesn't address the original problem--most wouldn't order flowers online b/c it might be damanged in shipping. Flowers can be in a temp reguated container and still damaged. If there is a problem, the other florist fixes it. Well why didn't I order from that florist to begin with? and what if we have different definitions of "damaged". I say 40% of my flowers are wilted and you say The blooms are still on aren't they?
But me personally--I wouldn't order flowers from a florist online b/c I have a theme I am going for. I show the florist pictures of my idea, either from a magazine or whatever. For my wedding, I carried pictures of my dress and my bridesmaid's dress. I had a few ideas but needed some suggestions on how to make that work. I needed that moment of clarity where the florist shares my vision and knows what I want to complete my theme. I like to make eye contact but most importantly I want to have someone to talk to where I know we are on the same pg.
An online florist I have to know exactly what I want so I can order it, how I want it arranged, and pick from the choices. I have no ability to be unique and add something that is particular (my bouquet I added some crystals and pearls that my mother had made into flowers). What if I want it a lil smaller? And lets say this bouquet is a tad too expensive for my tight budget, I can't subsitute in a cheaper flower?
Online florist just seem like a bad idea all around if you actually care about your flowers. Now if you are just roses to snip and use as boutineers--then sure. Or if all you want is a giant sunflower for each table b/c you are going to float it in a bowl of water, sure. But not for my bouquet or my major arrangements.
I want a florist I can bond with--the same way I wanted to make sure my cake baker and my photographer were all on board with exactly what I want. Not a computer form or someone in India who couldn't care less if I was happy or not.
Reply:I still would not risk it.
Getting damaged all %26amp; that is possible, that's why they have that safety net. But do you really want to, on your wedding day, worry about getting ahold of a company %26amp; having them contact a florist to remake your flowers? What if you order flowers that their local florist doesn't keep in stock in the numbers you need or the colors you need or are out of due to another event?
I just find it way too risky. I'm not sure why you like this idea so much (not trying to be rude), but if it has something to do cost check with a local florist first. My florist was fabulous, she's making more expensive items for less for me due to ordering to much. I think you should look into other options before jumping into ordering online.
Reply:If this is something you are considering, I've got some input. #1, some brides will never order from you. #2, brides who have ordered their flowers online probably would order from you. It's ok if it costs a little more, but it should be a lot less than ordering from a florist. It would be kind of like the cream of the crop for online ordering and perhaps even set a new standard. #3, the type of brides who would order from you are probably planning their wedding in a hurry or at the end of the year because that is when most florists are closed (at least around here they are). You might consider some sort of referral links to other reputable online wedding services. You may even be able to help fund the site with reciprocating agreements. But definitely check out the partners before you post. The better their references, the more referrals you may get from their site. #4, set up a booth at every bridal fair you can find. Have them shipped on the same time-schedule you would ship for a wedding and have a laptop so brides could register their email addresses for sales notices.
Well, that's what I got for you now. Good Luck!
Reply:i would not risk online orders for my wedding flowers. It just too stressful for me, and flower is my #1priority to be on time for picture taking on my wedding day morning.
Reply:I would only buy from you if I had other people who have used your service. It would be hard to rely on someone for your wedding who you do not know or have never used. I would also wnat a great price.
Reply:Lots of Bride's have ordered their flowers from on line sites and have had no problems. Make sure that the site you choose is reputable and has positive reviews from other Bride's. All sites have contact numbers so you can call and talk to them. Don't be afraid to ask them the same questions and concerns you asked here on Yahoo.
Of course shipping time would have to coordinate with your wedding time. If you get married at 8am on Saturday morning, your bouquet would be scheduled to arrive on Friday afternoon. Since some flowers are just to delicate to ship at all, the bouquete styles to choose from would containe very hardy flowers that have a longer shelf life and have year round availability. This would increase the chances that other florist in your local area would be able to fill the order quickly and easily if something did go wrong and the flowers were damaged.
I really appreciate your input!
Calling all Brides #2-ordering fresh bouquets from the Internet?
Sounds just ok. I mean great if they are damaged they are replaced but thats almost like a "yeah they better be"--I mean if my dress was damaged when I ordered it, they would replace that too. If it happens in shipping that is your responsibility to fix, not some amazing new thing you are doing for customers.
And it actually doesn't address the original problem--most wouldn't order flowers online b/c it might be damanged in shipping. Flowers can be in a temp reguated container and still damaged. If there is a problem, the other florist fixes it. Well why didn't I order from that florist to begin with? and what if we have different definitions of "damaged". I say 40% of my flowers are wilted and you say The blooms are still on aren't they?
But me personally--I wouldn't order flowers from a florist online b/c I have a theme I am going for. I show the florist pictures of my idea, either from a magazine or whatever. For my wedding, I carried pictures of my dress and my bridesmaid's dress. I had a few ideas but needed some suggestions on how to make that work. I needed that moment of clarity where the florist shares my vision and knows what I want to complete my theme. I like to make eye contact but most importantly I want to have someone to talk to where I know we are on the same pg.
An online florist I have to know exactly what I want so I can order it, how I want it arranged, and pick from the choices. I have no ability to be unique and add something that is particular (my bouquet I added some crystals and pearls that my mother had made into flowers). What if I want it a lil smaller? And lets say this bouquet is a tad too expensive for my tight budget, I can't subsitute in a cheaper flower?
Online florist just seem like a bad idea all around if you actually care about your flowers. Now if you are just roses to snip and use as boutineers--then sure. Or if all you want is a giant sunflower for each table b/c you are going to float it in a bowl of water, sure. But not for my bouquet or my major arrangements.
I want a florist I can bond with--the same way I wanted to make sure my cake baker and my photographer were all on board with exactly what I want. Not a computer form or someone in India who couldn't care less if I was happy or not.
Reply:I still would not risk it.
Getting damaged all %26amp; that is possible, that's why they have that safety net. But do you really want to, on your wedding day, worry about getting ahold of a company %26amp; having them contact a florist to remake your flowers? What if you order flowers that their local florist doesn't keep in stock in the numbers you need or the colors you need or are out of due to another event?
I just find it way too risky. I'm not sure why you like this idea so much (not trying to be rude), but if it has something to do cost check with a local florist first. My florist was fabulous, she's making more expensive items for less for me due to ordering to much. I think you should look into other options before jumping into ordering online.
Reply:If this is something you are considering, I've got some input. #1, some brides will never order from you. #2, brides who have ordered their flowers online probably would order from you. It's ok if it costs a little more, but it should be a lot less than ordering from a florist. It would be kind of like the cream of the crop for online ordering and perhaps even set a new standard. #3, the type of brides who would order from you are probably planning their wedding in a hurry or at the end of the year because that is when most florists are closed (at least around here they are). You might consider some sort of referral links to other reputable online wedding services. You may even be able to help fund the site with reciprocating agreements. But definitely check out the partners before you post. The better their references, the more referrals you may get from their site. #4, set up a booth at every bridal fair you can find. Have them shipped on the same time-schedule you would ship for a wedding and have a laptop so brides could register their email addresses for sales notices.
Well, that's what I got for you now. Good Luck!
Reply:i would not risk online orders for my wedding flowers. It just too stressful for me, and flower is my #1priority to be on time for picture taking on my wedding day morning.
Reply:I would only buy from you if I had other people who have used your service. It would be hard to rely on someone for your wedding who you do not know or have never used. I would also wnat a great price.
Reply:Lots of Bride's have ordered their flowers from on line sites and have had no problems. Make sure that the site you choose is reputable and has positive reviews from other Bride's. All sites have contact numbers so you can call and talk to them. Don't be afraid to ask them the same questions and concerns you asked here on Yahoo.
What do you think of Saudi Arabia banning the color red?
Saudi Arabia has asked florists and gift shops to remove all red items until after Valentine's Day, calling the celebration of such a holiday a sin, local media reported Monday.
http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast/02/1...
What do you think of Saudi Arabia banning the color red?
we had a very interesting question just on that today..!! i think its nuts and so unfair on the women...they should feel alittle pampered tooo for once....i dont think celebrating valentines would take or add to anyones culture or religion..its just a day to love and be loved...whats so wrong about that!!
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...
Reply:The average Saudi Arabian has no say what so ever in their own country . They are too scared to do anything to get rid of the ruling Royal family . So they conform told when,where and what to do in their daily lives.How humiliating and boring life must be .
Reply:I think that this is not of your business.
Let me ask you a question
We have a holiday called "Aladha". In this holiday we usually bring sheep to our yards and slaughter the sheep.
Will Americans accept this?
NO!!
This is a cultural difference.
We don't celebrate Valentines day..
Reply:Honestly, I do not waste a thought of it. Valentine's day is an American thing. If Americans need a special day to show their love to somebody, well.................
I much more apreciate it if my husband shows his love to me every day.
Btw: in the West it is comon that boy- and girl friends exchange cards, flowers and gifts. These kind of relationships you will not find in a strict Islamic country. What is the purpose for intertrucing it?
If you would be a cosmopilitian person, you also would recognize that "Valentine" is also critizied in India (not by Muslims). Why did you pick KSA?
Salam.
edit oh, honey: since when Valentine's is a Christian holiday???????????
Bein an Expat working in KSA, are you not getting Islamic holidays off without being a Muslim?
Reply:yes, I actually asked a question about that myself this morning. it's so sad!
Reply:a little over board.
banning a colour,
ban the holiday not a colour,
and what about pink, shouldn't that be banned too,
and little stuffed bears and other animals, and candy and other such stuff.
the holiday itself should be what's banned not one colour assosiated with it. (not that i agree with the banning, but understand why)
i didn't get to read the artical, for what ever reason i couldn't get the site to come up, i really think it is just me, the computer i am using is weird.
Reply:I think it is a ridiculous waste of time and attention. The more they try to control people the more people will obsess on the forbidden.
It is a sad state of affairs. There are starving kids , health problems and all sorts of important issues and they focus on the moral effects of the color red.
Reply:When in Rome,
do as the Romans.
The same applies here.
Reply:Banning red is only until after Valentine's Day. It is to encourage Muslims everywhere to not participate in a pagan holiday.
~~
This is from a blog by Alan Stewart Carl, but it is a clip from a CNN report.
It’s an attempt to squash Valentine’s day celebrations. Sheikh Khaled Al-Dossari, a scholar in Islamic studies, told the Saudi Gazette, an English-language newspaper:
"As Muslims we shouldn't celebrate a non-Muslim celebration, especially this one that encourages immoral relations between unmarried men and women, ".
And don’t forget it encourages the consuming of nasty little candy hearts and stale chocolate. And flora-cide –- Valentine’s day is the leading cause of flower murder in the world. I don’t know why we all don’t ban it. In fact, I know a lot of American men who would be just fine with such a regulation.

I think -- no big deal.
Reply:it is normal for a conservative islamic country not to allow celebrating a christian holy day.it is sad for the foreigners and also for the saudi women ,who just open their eyes and seen the western life,and they like it.......
the saudi shouldn't complain.they got use to it.as i said,is normal
banning all things red coloured,doesn't make a big difference,actually.ppl who are in love or,just like someone,will find a solution...other colour!the favorite,one!
btw :h ...i am not an expatriate.i don't care much about holydays.but i agree with the customs in saudi.i don't complain as a foreigner

Can you suggest what type of flowers i should send to my 11 year old cousin's funeral?
I don't know whether to send something that the family can take home or what.
I would like to buy something for a child but so far the local florists websites (Haven't got to go to town yet) shows nothing for a child's funeral.
(My 11 year old cousin was killed Monday in a car accident)
Thanks
Can you suggest what type of flowers i should send to my 11 year old cousin's funeral?
Sorry to hear about your loose...it must be hard, especially for a young girl.
I would send something to the house, like a basket of fuit, cracker, cheese, etc. So many people send flowers that they go to waste, a food basket is something they can use.
Good bless to you and your family.
Reply:I actually asked a question here last night.
MY daughter's half brother (6) was killed suddenly earlier this week (drowning). I wasn't sure if it was appropriate to send flowers since the children never knew each other (deadbeat dad to both of them).
I decided that since he was so young, his mother likely didn't have life insurance on him. Instead, I sent a fifty dollar payment towards his funeral expenses to the funeral home handling his family and signed the payment from my daughter (his sister). A little help is far more practical than flowers in these times.
Just a suggestion.
Reply:I like the idea about sending money or a fruit basket, that will probably be more help than flowers but if you choice to go with flowers talk to some people and find out what the colors they choice to go with on the casket, or go to this web site... www.order-flowers-delivery.com/funeral-f... They have pretty idea's that you might be able to have them make up at your local flower store, or it will give you cute ideas that you could mix together. Good luck and Sorry, prayers with the family.
Reply:first of all im sorry to hear that and second of all some white roses i think
Reply:the best flowers to send are red for love and white for peace and harmony, i also know what it is like to loose someone so young and close my girl friend lost her son 3days before he was 8months old due to a syndrome that is very rare.
Reply:You could send a peace lily. My dad passed away 5 years ago and I still have the one from his funeral.
Reply:My condolences. That is absolutely tragic. Was your cousin a boy or a girl? If a girl, I would suggest some pretty pale pink flowers (depending what is in season in your country) and if a boy, I would choose something with pale yellow or white. Something pretty and gentle.
You may want to look into donating a sum of money into a charity for children in your cousin's name - his or her parents would appreciate the gesture.
I am very sorry for your terrible loss. x

I would like to get something delivered from a local business near her, but I don't know any. I know florists will deliver flowers and chocolates if I get stuck, but can anyone think of anything else? Thanks

Use the internet to look up a spa near her house. Call that spa and get a gift certificate, then have them mail it to her house.

You could arrange to do dinner or something nice next time you are nearer to her and available if that is ever going to happen. Going out for a nice dinner is usually nice.

Use graph paper, and pictures from magazines if you are not as good on the computer, and it will give it a homemade feeling.
This is a really beautiful poem too!
Women have strengths that amaze us.
They carry children, they carry hardships, they carry burdens but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up for injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without new shoes so their children can have them.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about a birth or a new marriage. Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They have sorrow at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all sizes, in all colors and shapes.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world spin!
Women do more than just give birth.
They bring joy and hope.
They give compassion and ideals.
They give moral support to their family and friends.
Women have a lot to say and a lot to give.
