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.

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.
