Help me please! My dog died one year ago on april 8th
she was VERY special to me, and even a year later i am still VERY upset about it, she was older than me, and lived to be 15 years old. she was alive when i was born, so i never knew life without her. i want to do something special for her on tuesday, but i dont know what. I was thinking of planting flowers around her grave or something, but the weather here does not agree with me. It's snowing now. UH OH! I just want to know what to do for my specail doggy... her name was ginger.
It's the anniversary of my dogs death in 2 days. I dont know what to do for her?
The way you still worry about what to do for ginger says allot about you, maybe all you have to do is keep remembering her and as you get older and may have many more dogs, but just tell ginger (they are waiting for us) that she will always be your "special dog" we all have one, also if you have a bush or tree or anything get a little wind chime and know every time you hear is tinkle she's running by or around the house.
Reply:I know you can't do this at the moment because of the weather but you said it was something you like the idea of. Google plants with "Ginger" in the name.
Source one for yourself and plant it then you will have a permanent memorial to your special loved one.
I did this in my father's memory. I found a rose called "My Dad" It is with me always just as he is.
R.I.P Ginger
EDIT: Acallum - what a fantastic idea!!! Thumbs up for you
Reply:Ginger sounded adorable. . .well, even though you cant plant flowers, you could get her some to put on her grave. That's what I do everytime we get flowers that are getting old for my girl, Cocoa. Maybe when the weather gets better, you could plant some flowers. And maybe if she had a favorite human meal, you could fix that for dinner or something
Reply:Put one of her favoutite bones, or a shirt she would sleep on on her grave. She would aprecciate it very much
Reply:Make a donation to a local animal shelter in her name. It dosent have to be money. Just dropping off a toy or some yummy treats will make a shelter dogs day a little better.
Reply:Look in gardening magazines for a stone you can get engraved with Ginger's name. When you move away from home you can find a special place at your new home and have the memorial with you forever. A dog gives so much love throughout their life that taking time to reflect and meditate about Ginger and what she did for you during her life is something you can do. Write your thoughts and memories in a diary or a journal dedicated to Ginger.
I have lost several pets over my life and each one has a special place in my heart. I have always gotten another dog, not to replace the lost pet but to fill the hole in my heart. The Humane Society or animal shelter is a great place to find a new dog. That is where I have gotten all my dogs and they seem to know how special you are for picking them. It is so difficult to lose a pet, but there are so many dogs out there that need the love of a person like you, think about adopting. You have a lot of love to give and an adopted dog will give back ten fold what you give them. I am so sorry for your loss. One last word, don't try to replace Ginger, but instead find a different breed or a mutt and have another lifetime of experiences.
Reply:Not an easy time, eh? Best wishes. If it's still snowing you could make a snow-dog or snowman by the grave. Alternatively, faux flowers or a holly/evergreen garland like people use at Christmas will really brighten her grave.
When the weather gets better, you could plant evergreens or plants and flowers which sprout or flower in winter and spring - that way, you'll have a nice site to look at all year round.

If you could change anything about your wedding, what would it be?
My husband and I would have done what we wanted to do in the first place and would have gone Guam where my husband was stationed and gotten married there just the two of us instead of having a big church wedding back here in the States to "appease the family". It turned out awful, everything went wrong from my hair being horrid, to my make up being a rushed 5 minute bathroom job to my dress almost falling off to the floral shop not delivering the flowers and having no wedding flowers, to the pastor accidentally skipping part of the service and making the whole ceremony a total of 12 minutes from start to finish (best man timed it), to mics not working, to our original wedding site getting snowed out (in May!) three days before the wedding and having to move the wedding to a too small church (%26amp; having to notify all 300 plus guests of the change) to our cake nearly falling over, , and we weren't able to go on a honeymoon either.... what would you have changed about your wedding?
If you could change anything about your wedding, what would it be?
Wow! It sounds like the two of you earned a trip to Guam to renew your vows!
Reply:That my glasses wouldn't have broken the morning of the wedding! I had no backup, and went through everything in a haze; I can't see well far away.
However, about how the wedding went, not a thing. We had a traditional wedding for which we hosted about 200 guests, and with all our hard work and great planning - all went really well!
Reply:The only thing that I would have changed is the flowers on my cake. It wasn't exactly as I pictured. It was still very pretty- I just wanted more pink. Other than that the little things that went "wrong" just made it more perfect for me. :)
Reply:I might have waited until summer and had the wedding in my parents backyard rather then in the house. I however wasnt disappointed by anything because I didnt expect my day to be perfect in the first place. I expected things to go wrong so that when they did, I wasnt so worked up about it. and my ceremony was only about 12 minutes not skipping anything...we wanted it that way..the shorter the better. and we coldnt afford a honeymoon, but that was no big deal...and my hair dresser almost made me late for the wedding. sorry I cant sympathize with you....but your wedding really doesnt sound that bad....you got to marry the guy you loved right? isnt that the #1 thing?
Reply:The only thing I would change is the venue for the reception, we are using a family member's home, when they first offered they were happy about wanting us to use their home, now there are all sorts of rules and restrictions in place that they never mentioned before, like no shoes with heels or black soles on the grass or deck (and definitely not in the house), no music after 9pm, nobody inside the house itself unless it is raining, no kids, no food or drink on the deck area. It's lovely of them to offer but they should have set those ground rules when they first offered rather than now, when it is too late to get an alternative venue
Reply:First, I would have taken the marriage idea more seriously.
Second, I would have chosen a better husband.
Third, I would have held out for an actual wedding.
Reply:Wow! I totally understand, my wedding went down hill fast too! Start time of 5:45 turned in to 7:30, because the mother of the groom decided she just wasn't going to participate. The limo never showed up the cake was lop-sided and the pictures were a total disaster. Even after that I was the only one that could drive a stick shift car; so here I am in this Cinderella Ball gown driving a ford escort home for the 1st night of the rest of my life.... So be happy that you and you hubby are still doing in great in a few years you'll be able to look back and laugh. As for me that was the start of the end of a great relationship. So what I would have changed was the whole thing
Reply:This is easy..........THE GROOM
Reply:Murphy's Law. Not to laugh, but OMG! Did you get totally inebriated? You definitely has cause to.
My first wedding..the groom.
The 2nd...my maid of honor. She wouldn't help me at all. My son, had to button me up and ride with me to the pier overlooking the Carribean. She was already there...1/2 in the bag with her bowling buddies.
Last, I would have had a different airline fly us home. My dress was smashed and the bottom of the bag was full of sequins and pearls. Then the airline was late causing us to miss our connection in Memphis to circling Minneapolis for 2.5 hrs because of a storm almost causing us to miss the reception 4 hrs. away.
Reply:Oh my goodness, this sounds horrible, and I am about to cry because my wedding was so good, and I thought it would be horrible!
Here is the one thing I wish I would have done differently-
I had a mother of the bride and bridesmaids party in my room the night before the wedding-no rehearsal dinner, we married in a small chapel. The day of the party, I asked other guests to show up later and party, and everyone did except for my aunt and uncle-since they didn′t know anything was planned, they got tickets to a show. To this day, I feel bad that they didn′t get to join us. We had 14 people in our little hotel room, and we had a blast!
I agree-you deserve to renew your vows somewhere wonderful, and make it quick if you can because it sounds so bad when you write about what went wrong with your wedding, and not the good things that happened...cheer up-you′re both alive, hopefully healthy, and overall, YOU ARE MARRIED!
Reply:The first thing would've been my hair. I grew it out so I could do a cute updo, but I should've known that I hate how my face looks with my hair up. I should've just gotten a cute medium haircut with which I am more comfortable with and stuck the tiara and veil on top. Simple is always better.
The second thing would've been not to go so cheap with the videographer. The quality was of something I would've expected from the 1960's not in 2001. The video was horrible and so was the audio. At least I have the pictures.
Reply:1. The groom. I married the wrong guy!!! I was in my 20s and not really cognizant of the fact he was the wrong guy for me, something I could easily determine now, 20 years later.
Otherwise it was a wonderful wedding. I'd change a couple of other things though:
2. The dress. Beautiful dress, but very impractical. I needed the wedding planner to help me use the restroom!
3. Time of year: My wedding almost got cancelled due to a snow storm! Fortunately it stopped snowing and the plows were able to get everything clear.

Fortunately, sometimes you get a second chance in life. This time I'll have the right groom, a more practical dress, and a time of year where I won't be likely to be snowed out. :-)
Reply:I didn't like the way my hairdresser did my hair, but i didn't say anything. Other than that, I wouldn't have changed a thing...we had a bunch of things go wrong, but it made it funny and more memorable.

Question about daffodils and tulips and a recent cold snap?
I live in Michigan and our daffodils are all out and are tulips are starting to come out. It's been in the 20's for 3 days now and it SNOWED last night! Everyone's daffodils are dead, it's so sad. It's supposed to be below 32 degrees till Tuesay. Do you think are Tulips will still come out? The green parts are coming out but they haven't bulbed yet. I've never seen this before. Millions of daffodils are just DEAD AS A DOOR NAIL! Is this going to affect crops or other flowering plants and trees? I live in southwestern Michigan right on Lake Michigan. Help! I love my flowers and I'm very sad.
Question about daffodils and tulips and a recent cold snap?
My tulips were booming when our cold weather hit.(Kansas City area) They have struggled, but are still blooming.
I fear we have lost the apple blossoms and the lilacs....and my peonies are droopy.
Let's hear it for global warming....
Reply:They will return no problem, hardy plant
Reply:They will both come back. They are winter hardy and it always snows on them in Ky. They'll survive, you will too.
Reply:Western New York Snow on the daffodils this morning. I still have hope for tulips if the deer don't get them :)

Can some one translate these sonnet for me? pleaseeee ASAP?
From fairest creatures we desire increase,
That thereby beauty's rose might never die,
But as the riper should by time decease,
His tender heir might bear his memory:
But thou contracted to thine own bright eyes,
Feed'st thy light's flame with self-substantial fuel,
Making a famine where abundance lies,
Thy self thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel:
Thou that art now the world's fresh ornament,
And only herald to the gaudy spring,
Within thine own bud buriest thy content,
And tender churl mak'st waste in niggarding:
Pity the world, or else this glutton be,
To eat the world's due, by the grave and thee.
II (Sonnet 2)
When forty winters shall besiege thy brow,
And dig deep trenches in thy beauty's field,
Thy youth's proud livery so gazed on now,
Will be a tatter'd weed of small worth held:
Then being asked, where all thy beauty lies,
Where all the treasure of thy lusty days;
To say, within thine own deep sunken eyes,
Were an all-eating shame, and thriftless praise.
How much more praise deserv'd thy beauty's use,
If thou couldst answer 'This fair child of mine
Shall sum my count, and make my old excuse,'
Proving his beauty by succession thine!
This were to be new made when thou art old,
And see thy blood warm when thou feel'st it cold.
III (Sonnet 3)
Look in thy glass and tell the face thou viewest
Now is the time that face should form another;
Whose fresh repair if now thou not renewest,
Thou dost beguile the world, unbless some mother.
For where is she so fair whose unear'd womb
Disdains the tillage of thy husbandry?
Or who is he so fond will be the tomb,
Of his self-love to stop posterity?
Thou art thy mother's glass and she in thee
Calls back the lovely April of her prime;
So thou through windows of thine age shalt see,
Despite of wrinkles this thy golden time.
But if thou live, remember'd not to be,
Die single and thine image dies with thee.
IV (Sonnet 4)
Unthrifty loveliness, why dost thou spend
Upon thy self thy beauty's legacy?
Nature's bequest gives nothing, but doth lend,
And being frank she lends to those are free:
Then, beauteous niggard, why dost thou abuse
The bounteous largess given thee to give?
Profitless usurer, why dost thou use
So great a sum of sums, yet canst not live?
For having traffic with thy self alone,
Thou of thy self thy sweet self dost deceive:
Then how when nature calls thee to be gone,
What acceptable audit canst thou leave?
Thy unused beauty must be tombed with thee,
Which, used, lives th' executor to be.
V (Sonnet 5)
Those hours, that with gentle work did frame
The lovely gaze where every eye doth dwell,
Will play the tyrants to the very same
And that unfair which fairly doth excel;
For never-resting time leads summer on
To hideous winter, and confounds him there;
Sap checked with frost, and lusty leaves quite gone,
Beauty o'er-snowed and bareness every where:
Then were not summer's distillation left,
A liquid prisoner pent in walls of glass,
Beauty's effect with beauty were bereft,
Nor it, nor no remembrance what it was:
But flowers distill'd, though they with winter meet,
Leese but their show; their substance still lives sweet.
VI (Sonnet 6)
Then let not winter's ragged hand deface,
In thee thy summer, ere thou be distill'd:
Make sweet some vial; treasure thou some place
With beauty's treasure ere it be self-kill'd.
That use is not forbidden usury,
Which happies those that pay the willing loan;
That's for thy self to breed another thee,
Or ten times happier, be it ten for one;
Ten times thy self were happier than thou art,
If ten of thine ten times refigur'd thee:
Then what could death do if thou shouldst depart,
Leaving thee living in posterity?
Be not self-will'd, for thou art much too fair
To be death's conquest and make worms thine heir.
VII (Sonnet 7)
Lo! in the orient when the gracious light
Lifts up his burning head, each under eye
Doth homage to his new-appearing sight,
Serving with looks his sacred majesty;
And having climb'd the steep-up heavenly hill,
Resembling strong youth in his middle age,
Yet mortal looks adore his beauty still,
Attending on his golden pilgrimage:
But when from highmost pitch, with weary car,
Like feeble age, he reeleth from the day,
The eyes, 'fore duteous, now converted are
From his low tract, and look another way:
So thou, thyself outgoing in thy noon:
Unlook'd, on diest unless thou get a son.
VIII (Sonnet 8)
Music to hear, why hear'st thou music sadly?
Sweets with sweets war not, joy delights in joy:
Why lov'st thou that which thou receiv'st not gladly,
Or else receiv'st with pleasure thine annoy?
If the true concord of well-tuned sounds,
By unions married, do offend thine ear,
They do but sweetly chide thee, who confounds
In singleness the parts that thou shouldst bear.
Mark how one string, sweet husband to another,
Strikes each in each by mutual ordering;
Resembling sire and child and happy mother,
Who, all in one, one pleasing note do sing:
Whose speechless song being many, seeming one,
Sings this to thee: 'Thou single wilt prove none.'
IX (Sonnet 9)
Is it for fear to wet a widow's eye,
That thou consum'st thy self in single life?
Ah! if thou issueless shalt hap to die,
The world will wail thee like a makeless wife;
The world will be thy widow and still weep
That thou no form of thee hast left behind,
When every private widow well may keep
By children's eyes, her husband's shape in mind:
Look! what an unthrift in the world doth spend
Shifts but his place, for still the world enjoys it;
But beauty's waste hath in the world an end,
And kept unused the user so destroys it.
No love toward others in that bosom sits
That on himself such murd'rous shame commits.
X (Sonnet 10)
For shame! deny that thou bear'st love to any,
Who for thy self art so unprovident.
Grant, if thou wilt, thou art belov'd of many,
But that thou none lov'st is most evident:
For thou art so possess'd with murderous hate,
That 'gainst thy self thou stick'st not to conspire,
Seeking that beauteous roof to ruinate
Which to repair should be thy chief desire.
O! change thy thought, that I may change my mind:
Shall hate be fairer lodg'd than gentle love?
Be, as thy presence is, gracious and kind,
Or to thyself at least kind-hearted prove:
Make thee another self for love of me,
That beauty still may live in thine or thee.
XI (Sonnet 11)
As fast as thou shalt wane, so fast thou grow'st,
In one of thine, from that which thou departest;
And that fresh blood which youngly thou bestow'st,
Thou mayst call thine when thou from youth convertest,
Herein lives wisdom, beauty, and increase;
Without this folly, age, and cold decay:
If all were minded so, the times should cease
And threescore year would make the world away.
Let those whom nature hath not made for store,
Harsh, featureless, and rude, barrenly perish:
Look, whom she best endow'd, she gave thee more;
Which bounteous gift thou shouldst in bounty cherish:
She carv'd thee for her seal, and meant thereby,
Thou shouldst print more, not let that copy die.
XII (Sonnet 12)
When I do count the clock that tells the time,
And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;
When I behold the violet past prime,
And sable curls, all silvered o'er with white;
When lofty trees I see barren of leaves,
Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,
And summer's green all girded up in sheaves,
Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard,
Then of thy beauty do I question make,
That thou among the wastes of time must go,
Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake
And die as fast as they see others grow;
And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defence
Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence.
XIII (Sonnet 13)
O! that you were your self; but, love you are
No longer yours, than you your self here live:
Against this coming end you should prepare,
And your sweet semblance to some other give:
So should that beauty which you hold in lease
Find no determination; then you were
Yourself again, after yourself's decease,
When your sweet issue your sweet form should bear.
Who lets so fair a house fall to decay,
Which husbandry in honour might uphold,
Against the stormy gusts of winter's day
And barren rage of death's eternal cold?
O! none but unthrifts. Dear my love, you know,
You had a father: let your son say so.
XIV (Sonnet 14)
Not from the stars do I my judgement pluck;
And yet methinks I have astronomy,
But not to tell of good or evil luck,
Of plagues, of dearths, or seasons' quality;
Nor can I fortune to brief minutes tell,
Pointing to each his thunder, rain and wind,
Or say with princes if it shall go well
By oft predict that I in heaven find:
But from thine eyes my knowledge I derive,
And constant stars in them I read such art
As 'Truth and beauty shall together thrive,
If from thyself, to store thou wouldst convert';
Or else of thee this I prognosticate:
'Thy end is truth's and beauty's doom and date.'
XV (Sonnet 15)
When I consider every thing that grows
Holds in perfection but a little moment,
That this huge stage presenteth nought but shows
Whereon the stars in secret influence comment;
When I perceive that men as plants increase,
Cheered and checked even by the self-same sky,
Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease,
And wear their brave state out of memory;
Then the conceit of this inconstant stay
Sets you most rich in youth before my sight,
Where wasteful Time debateth with decay
To change your day of youth to sullied night,
And all in war with Time for love of you,
As he takes from you, I engraft you new.
XVI (Sonnet 16)
But wherefore do not you a mightier way
Make war upon this bloody tyrant, Time?
And fortify your self in your decay
With means more blessed than my barren rhyme?
Now stand you on the top of happy hours,
And many maiden gardens, yet unset,
With virtuous wish would bear you living flowers,
Much liker than your painted counterfeit:
So should the lines of life that life repair,
Which this, Time's pencil, or my pupil pen,
Neither in inward worth nor outward fair,
Can make you live your self in eyes of men.
To give away yourself, keeps yourself still,
And you must live, drawn by your own sweet skill.
XVII (Sonnet 17)
Who will believe my verse in time to come,
If it were fill'd with your most high deserts?
Though yet heaven knows it is but as a tomb
Which hides your life, and shows not half your parts.
If I could write the beauty of your eyes,
And in fresh numbers number all your graces,
The age to come would say 'This poet lies;
Such heavenly touches ne'er touch'd earthly faces.'
So should my papers, yellow'd with their age,
Be scorn'd, like old men of less truth than tongue,
And your true rights be term'd a poet's rage
And stretched metre of an antique song:
But were some child of yours alive that time,
You should live twice,--in it, and in my rhyme.
XVIII (Sonnet 18)
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd,
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimm'd:
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st,
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
XIX (Sonnet 19)
Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion's paws,
And make the earth devour her own sweet brood;
Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger's jaws,
And burn the long-liv'd phoenix, in her blood;
Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleets,
And do whate'er thou wilt, swift-footed Time,
To the wide world and all her fading sweets;
But I forbid thee one most heinous crime:
O! carve not with thy hours my love's fair brow,
Nor draw no lines there with thine antique pen;
Him in thy course untainted do allow
For beauty's pattern to succeeding men.
Yet, do thy worst old Time: despite thy wrong,
My love shall in my verse ever live young.
XX (Sonnet 20)
A woman's face with nature's own hand painted,
Hast thou, the master mistress of my passion;
A woman's gentle heart, but not acquainted
With shifting change, as is false women's fashion:
An eye more bright than theirs, less false in rolling,
Gilding the object whereupon it gazeth;
A man in hue all 'hues' in his controlling,
Which steals men's eyes and women's souls amazeth.
And for a woman wert thou first created;
Till Nature, as she wrought thee, fell a-doting,
And by addition me of thee defeated,
By adding one thing to my purpose nothing.
But since she prick'd thee out for women's pleasure,
Mine be thy love and thy love's use their treasure.

Hope that helps, sorry I sucked so hard. :(
That thereby beauty's rose might never die,
But as the riper should by time decease,
His tender heir might bear his memory:
But thou contracted to thine own bright eyes,
Feed'st thy light's flame with self-substantial fuel,
Making a famine where abundance lies,
Thy self thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel:
Thou that art now the world's fresh ornament,
And only herald to the gaudy spring,
Within thine own bud buriest thy content,
And tender churl mak'st waste in niggarding:
Pity the world, or else this glutton be,
To eat the world's due, by the grave and thee.
II (Sonnet 2)
When forty winters shall besiege thy brow,
And dig deep trenches in thy beauty's field,
Thy youth's proud livery so gazed on now,
Will be a tatter'd weed of small worth held:
Then being asked, where all thy beauty lies,
Where all the treasure of thy lusty days;
To say, within thine own deep sunken eyes,
Were an all-eating shame, and thriftless praise.
How much more praise deserv'd thy beauty's use,
If thou couldst answer 'This fair child of mine
Shall sum my count, and make my old excuse,'
Proving his beauty by succession thine!
This were to be new made when thou art old,
And see thy blood warm when thou feel'st it cold.
III (Sonnet 3)
Look in thy glass and tell the face thou viewest
Now is the time that face should form another;
Whose fresh repair if now thou not renewest,
Thou dost beguile the world, unbless some mother.
For where is she so fair whose unear'd womb
Disdains the tillage of thy husbandry?
Or who is he so fond will be the tomb,
Of his self-love to stop posterity?
Thou art thy mother's glass and she in thee
Calls back the lovely April of her prime;
So thou through windows of thine age shalt see,
Despite of wrinkles this thy golden time.
But if thou live, remember'd not to be,
Die single and thine image dies with thee.
IV (Sonnet 4)
Unthrifty loveliness, why dost thou spend
Upon thy self thy beauty's legacy?
Nature's bequest gives nothing, but doth lend,
And being frank she lends to those are free:
Then, beauteous niggard, why dost thou abuse
The bounteous largess given thee to give?
Profitless usurer, why dost thou use
So great a sum of sums, yet canst not live?
For having traffic with thy self alone,
Thou of thy self thy sweet self dost deceive:
Then how when nature calls thee to be gone,
What acceptable audit canst thou leave?
Thy unused beauty must be tombed with thee,
Which, used, lives th' executor to be.
V (Sonnet 5)
Those hours, that with gentle work did frame
The lovely gaze where every eye doth dwell,
Will play the tyrants to the very same
And that unfair which fairly doth excel;
For never-resting time leads summer on
To hideous winter, and confounds him there;
Sap checked with frost, and lusty leaves quite gone,
Beauty o'er-snowed and bareness every where:
Then were not summer's distillation left,
A liquid prisoner pent in walls of glass,
Beauty's effect with beauty were bereft,
Nor it, nor no remembrance what it was:
But flowers distill'd, though they with winter meet,
Leese but their show; their substance still lives sweet.
VI (Sonnet 6)
Then let not winter's ragged hand deface,
In thee thy summer, ere thou be distill'd:
Make sweet some vial; treasure thou some place
With beauty's treasure ere it be self-kill'd.
That use is not forbidden usury,
Which happies those that pay the willing loan;
That's for thy self to breed another thee,
Or ten times happier, be it ten for one;
Ten times thy self were happier than thou art,
If ten of thine ten times refigur'd thee:
Then what could death do if thou shouldst depart,
Leaving thee living in posterity?
Be not self-will'd, for thou art much too fair
To be death's conquest and make worms thine heir.
VII (Sonnet 7)
Lo! in the orient when the gracious light
Lifts up his burning head, each under eye
Doth homage to his new-appearing sight,
Serving with looks his sacred majesty;
And having climb'd the steep-up heavenly hill,
Resembling strong youth in his middle age,
Yet mortal looks adore his beauty still,
Attending on his golden pilgrimage:
But when from highmost pitch, with weary car,
Like feeble age, he reeleth from the day,
The eyes, 'fore duteous, now converted are
From his low tract, and look another way:
So thou, thyself outgoing in thy noon:
Unlook'd, on diest unless thou get a son.
VIII (Sonnet 8)
Music to hear, why hear'st thou music sadly?
Sweets with sweets war not, joy delights in joy:
Why lov'st thou that which thou receiv'st not gladly,
Or else receiv'st with pleasure thine annoy?
If the true concord of well-tuned sounds,
By unions married, do offend thine ear,
They do but sweetly chide thee, who confounds
In singleness the parts that thou shouldst bear.
Mark how one string, sweet husband to another,
Strikes each in each by mutual ordering;
Resembling sire and child and happy mother,
Who, all in one, one pleasing note do sing:
Whose speechless song being many, seeming one,
Sings this to thee: 'Thou single wilt prove none.'
IX (Sonnet 9)
Is it for fear to wet a widow's eye,
That thou consum'st thy self in single life?
Ah! if thou issueless shalt hap to die,
The world will wail thee like a makeless wife;
The world will be thy widow and still weep
That thou no form of thee hast left behind,
When every private widow well may keep
By children's eyes, her husband's shape in mind:
Look! what an unthrift in the world doth spend
Shifts but his place, for still the world enjoys it;
But beauty's waste hath in the world an end,
And kept unused the user so destroys it.
No love toward others in that bosom sits
That on himself such murd'rous shame commits.
X (Sonnet 10)
For shame! deny that thou bear'st love to any,
Who for thy self art so unprovident.
Grant, if thou wilt, thou art belov'd of many,
But that thou none lov'st is most evident:
For thou art so possess'd with murderous hate,
That 'gainst thy self thou stick'st not to conspire,
Seeking that beauteous roof to ruinate
Which to repair should be thy chief desire.
O! change thy thought, that I may change my mind:
Shall hate be fairer lodg'd than gentle love?
Be, as thy presence is, gracious and kind,
Or to thyself at least kind-hearted prove:
Make thee another self for love of me,
That beauty still may live in thine or thee.
XI (Sonnet 11)
As fast as thou shalt wane, so fast thou grow'st,
In one of thine, from that which thou departest;
And that fresh blood which youngly thou bestow'st,
Thou mayst call thine when thou from youth convertest,
Herein lives wisdom, beauty, and increase;
Without this folly, age, and cold decay:
If all were minded so, the times should cease
And threescore year would make the world away.
Let those whom nature hath not made for store,
Harsh, featureless, and rude, barrenly perish:
Look, whom she best endow'd, she gave thee more;
Which bounteous gift thou shouldst in bounty cherish:
She carv'd thee for her seal, and meant thereby,
Thou shouldst print more, not let that copy die.
XII (Sonnet 12)
When I do count the clock that tells the time,
And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;
When I behold the violet past prime,
And sable curls, all silvered o'er with white;
When lofty trees I see barren of leaves,
Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,
And summer's green all girded up in sheaves,
Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard,
Then of thy beauty do I question make,
That thou among the wastes of time must go,
Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake
And die as fast as they see others grow;
And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defence
Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence.
XIII (Sonnet 13)
O! that you were your self; but, love you are
No longer yours, than you your self here live:
Against this coming end you should prepare,
And your sweet semblance to some other give:
So should that beauty which you hold in lease
Find no determination; then you were
Yourself again, after yourself's decease,
When your sweet issue your sweet form should bear.
Who lets so fair a house fall to decay,
Which husbandry in honour might uphold,
Against the stormy gusts of winter's day
And barren rage of death's eternal cold?
O! none but unthrifts. Dear my love, you know,
You had a father: let your son say so.
XIV (Sonnet 14)
Not from the stars do I my judgement pluck;
And yet methinks I have astronomy,
But not to tell of good or evil luck,
Of plagues, of dearths, or seasons' quality;
Nor can I fortune to brief minutes tell,
Pointing to each his thunder, rain and wind,
Or say with princes if it shall go well
By oft predict that I in heaven find:
But from thine eyes my knowledge I derive,
And constant stars in them I read such art
As 'Truth and beauty shall together thrive,
If from thyself, to store thou wouldst convert';
Or else of thee this I prognosticate:
'Thy end is truth's and beauty's doom and date.'
XV (Sonnet 15)
When I consider every thing that grows
Holds in perfection but a little moment,
That this huge stage presenteth nought but shows
Whereon the stars in secret influence comment;
When I perceive that men as plants increase,
Cheered and checked even by the self-same sky,
Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease,
And wear their brave state out of memory;
Then the conceit of this inconstant stay
Sets you most rich in youth before my sight,
Where wasteful Time debateth with decay
To change your day of youth to sullied night,
And all in war with Time for love of you,
As he takes from you, I engraft you new.
XVI (Sonnet 16)
But wherefore do not you a mightier way
Make war upon this bloody tyrant, Time?
And fortify your self in your decay
With means more blessed than my barren rhyme?
Now stand you on the top of happy hours,
And many maiden gardens, yet unset,
With virtuous wish would bear you living flowers,
Much liker than your painted counterfeit:
So should the lines of life that life repair,
Which this, Time's pencil, or my pupil pen,
Neither in inward worth nor outward fair,
Can make you live your self in eyes of men.
To give away yourself, keeps yourself still,
And you must live, drawn by your own sweet skill.
XVII (Sonnet 17)
Who will believe my verse in time to come,
If it were fill'd with your most high deserts?
Though yet heaven knows it is but as a tomb
Which hides your life, and shows not half your parts.
If I could write the beauty of your eyes,
And in fresh numbers number all your graces,
The age to come would say 'This poet lies;
Such heavenly touches ne'er touch'd earthly faces.'
So should my papers, yellow'd with their age,
Be scorn'd, like old men of less truth than tongue,
And your true rights be term'd a poet's rage
And stretched metre of an antique song:
But were some child of yours alive that time,
You should live twice,--in it, and in my rhyme.
XVIII (Sonnet 18)
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd,
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimm'd:
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st,
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
XIX (Sonnet 19)
Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion's paws,
And make the earth devour her own sweet brood;
Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger's jaws,
And burn the long-liv'd phoenix, in her blood;
Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleets,
And do whate'er thou wilt, swift-footed Time,
To the wide world and all her fading sweets;
But I forbid thee one most heinous crime:
O! carve not with thy hours my love's fair brow,
Nor draw no lines there with thine antique pen;
Him in thy course untainted do allow
For beauty's pattern to succeeding men.
Yet, do thy worst old Time: despite thy wrong,
My love shall in my verse ever live young.
XX (Sonnet 20)
A woman's face with nature's own hand painted,
Hast thou, the master mistress of my passion;
A woman's gentle heart, but not acquainted
With shifting change, as is false women's fashion:
An eye more bright than theirs, less false in rolling,
Gilding the object whereupon it gazeth;
A man in hue all 'hues' in his controlling,
Which steals men's eyes and women's souls amazeth.
And for a woman wert thou first created;
Till Nature, as she wrought thee, fell a-doting,
And by addition me of thee defeated,
By adding one thing to my purpose nothing.
But since she prick'd thee out for women's pleasure,
Mine be thy love and thy love's use their treasure.

Should i plant fowers now?
i know it is april but what if it snows again or gets really cold. when is the best time to plant flowers?
im in kentucky
Should i plant fowers now?
Since you are in Kentucky, the threat of freezing temps is
not as great as it is, here in Chicago(where I live). If you
do put plants in, see what the weather forecast is going to
be that night, then make sure you place a lot of mulch that
is natual covering ( IN THE DAYTIME ) so it is warmed by the
Sun. Then should it get toward the freezing mark, the warmed
mulch will keep your "baby" plants protected. You can also
place newspapers weighed-down with bricks,etc if you are
really concerned that the mulch will not be enough. This will work all the time---it has for me. When the daylight
warms the air enough, take the newspapers off(KEEP MULCH ON)---helps keep moisture in the soil.
ALSO USE MIRACLE GROW---THIS STUFF W O R K S !!!
WHEN YOU USE THE ABOVE M G(FEED %26amp; WATER AT THE SAME TIME THRU, USING YOUR HOSE) DO THIS AT NIGHT SO THE HOT SUN IN
THE LATE SPRING %26amp; INTO THE SUMMER WILL NOT BURN-OFF THE
NUTRIENTS---NIGHT-TIME IS BEST !!!

How to add some curb appeal to my lovely townhome?
We just moved into our first house five months ago. I have decorated the interior and also our private garden in the back is full of lively and beautiful autumn flowers. Anyhow, the back is adorable and so picturesque but the front of our townhouse looks like no one is home (aside from the daily newspaper a mini-rose pot by the door and a windchime).
There is a rock garden that is about 5 ft by 3 foot with nothing but rocks. We also have a private sidewalk to our door. In front of the rock garden in a small patch of grass. It is maintained by the property owners, not by us. But anyhow, I plan to put a glass top patio table with four chairs and umbrella on the grass area. But I need to know what to do with the rock garden? We are in a mountain climate so it snows and freezes a lot. I don't want to put out plants or flowers, but instead maybe some fountain/little pond or seating. My neighbor has all kinds of cool things in her area with lights and fenced borders etc, mine looks plain
How to add some curb appeal to my lovely townhome?
Since you are only renting - I wouldn't plant anything permanent. When I lived in my old townhouse, I used really cool flower pots to put plants in, and took them with me when I left. I also used plant stands to add hieght to certain ones and I got a few small concrete yard ornaments. I had a mushroom statue, and some toad abodes. Looked cool.
Reply:I would highly suggest doing a garage floor super fleck kit from your garage down to the edge of your property if it is paved. They are very fancy, and with Top Secret Coatings Super Fleck the solvents in this coatings actually become part of the concrete and side walk so it never chips, wears, or peels unlike most concrete paint. You could do a green base color with tan and black chips or a grey with black and tan chips. Either way it is a great way to spruce up your driveway and make it look better than home around you. Anyway, their are about 200 color combinations you may choose, and they look artistic and very beautiful. Good luck.
Reply:Try container gardening. You can then move the plants when weather starts threatening. Or you might want to try a wine bottle tree. It is colorful and artistic...a good web site to see what I am talking about can be found at bottletree.com.
Reply:I'm a big fan of garden art. I have fountains, statues and birdbaths all over my yard. You can find them and little downsized benches at the garden centers. I also have some large urns in which I plant seasonal flowers by the front door for a colorful welcome. I always have my front door decorated with a seasonal wreath or hanging of some sort. I also collect wrought iron and have window boxes under all of my windows planted with colorful blooming plants. You can find minature decorative wrought iron fencing to put around your little rock garden to define it. You can also find small scale gazing globes that are tasteful and elegant (mine is a little garden angel holding up the glass globe). I also have a wonderful black cement pillar with a copper sundial on the top as a centerpiece of my front rock garden. Any of these items will jazz up your rock garden...
Reply:You can add plants that indigenous to your climate or a small but very efficient waterfall would be pleasant. There is nothing more relaxing and inviting than the spirited sound of a waterfall.

I had some daffodils come up...and they are now hunched over due to a cold snap. My crocus never came up...I wonder if some of the critters dug them up or made off with them.

All the above are in full bloom in the garden. Several others are showing buds - rhodadendron, clematis, alpines.
In the greenhouse, the pelargoniums are flowering profusely and all the lavendar and surfinia cuttings look ready for re-potting.
But, I think , it's still too risky to plant non-hardy varieties outdoors - a touch of frost could damage young growth.

What Kind of Flowering Tree is This?
Anyone have any ideas? We are in Washington state and have snow and hard freezes in the winter so it is hardy. It has reached about 15 feet in 5 years from a small sapling.

Do you like my poem?
I will Miss Life
The trees are still growing
Every year it keeps on snowing
The Birds are still flying
But I am dying
The flowers in the ground
The sunshine all around
The holidays I adore
The countries I’ll never explore
The Happy children’s faces
The changing of the places
The vast new technology
Which I will never see
The rising of the dawn
My friends who came to mourn
My treasured memory
My final prayer to thee
If I die before I wake
I pray the lord my soul do take

What kind of flowering/non flowering plants can be planted suited to all kinds of season?
I just move to Georgia where there is no snow
What kind of flowering/non flowering plants can be planted suited to all kinds of season?
I live in N.E. Georgia, and it will snow here at least one time this year, we have ice today. In winter we plant Pansies and Viola's for color, they freeze ofcourse below 32 degrees, but they thaw out during the day and they last until we plant summer annuals. We also have ornamental cabbage and kale for color in the landscape. If you live around the N.Fulton or Forsyth county area, Saul Nurseries is a good place to buy from, everything is grown on the property. Nothing better than home grown!!!!!!!
Reply:Wow the list is numorous, your local store should sell what's best for your area. Go to your library, they have all the books.
Reply:Know the local plants and flowers in the area. It is a sure hit for your garden to be suited to all kinds of season.
Reply:Hollies are a great plant. They are dependable, and hardy. They dont flower, but some will get red berries in the winter. The best thing to do would be to go to a local library and check out a plant book, or go to your local Home Depot and take a look at the plants they have on hand. You can usually get a good idea of what will do well in your area at Home Depot. (or a local plant nursery, even better!) Good Luck!
Reply:Camellias are evergreen and bloom winter and very large color selection. Azaleas evergreen and bloom spring at Easter. Indian Hawthorne is evergreen and grows in a mound easy to maintain. Amaryllis bulbs bloom every spring and Lay dormant til next spring and they multiply.

Flowering plant....?
hello all, i wanted to plant a perennial in our plant boxes, is this idea still okey since it is still winter here in our place and snowing once in a while, will the seed going to grow?or i have to keep them away from snow?and keep inside the garage is ok until they fully grown ups?and im planning to plant arabis,columbine and african daisy? please advise me and God bless you and your family.tnx
Flowering plant....?
I don't know where you are, but I certainly wouldn't plant seeds until I was sure the last frost had past. You could start them inside in smaller containers and repot them later outside. I would not trust my garage unless it was heated. Seeds generally won't germinate until the soil is warm, probably 65-70 degrees and that won't happen as long as it is still snowing. If they do germinate and then a frost occurs you will probably will lose your plants unless you have some way to protect them.
So, what would I do. I'd get some smaller pots and start the seeds inside. Then when the weather warmed up, I'd plant them in my planter boxes outside.
Good luck.
Reply:Most seeds germinate best when the weather has stopped freezing.You could get some seed starting mixture and start some in a sunny window if you have one. Next year they will be ok, if they are perennial where you live. I always sell the African Daisy as an annual, it is a bonus if it returns in my climate.
Reply:It is hard to grow perennials in plant boxes. If you can grow it in a container and move it around, it would be ok.

Best time to plant in New Jersey?
I am looking to grow some veggies and herbs and plenty of flowers this upcoming spring and since it has not snowed yet here in NJ i am wondering when the best time to plant is. I have the option of planting inside and then transplating outside as well!
thank you for your help
Best time to plant in New Jersey?
Check with local nursery for advice on what to plant in the fall for spring blooms and what to plant in the spring after last frost for showy summer into fall blooms. Herbs can be grown year round indoors by a sunny window and moved outdoors later in the spring. Veggies will have to be geminated early spring indoors and transplanted or you can buy ready to plant veggies at the nursery in the spring. It really all depends on how green your thumb is.
Reply:Gardening is such a vast subject, it can often be confusing to the new gardener where to start.
obviously, It depends on what kind of plants ur planning to grow.
For most vegetables, I would prefer to plant them at a well-drained, level, sheltered, slightly limey, sunny position.
and that would be on early spring (March?) or mid spring (April).
If you want to plant inside, try to u can do it from late Feb. but u should pay attention to the requirements (more sunlight + well-draing soil).
I wish that makes sense

How do I get my dogs to stop digging up my flowers and other landscaping plants?
I have 2 dogs. One is a 2 year old Rotty and the other is a 4 year old rotty mix. Both are VERY sweet dogs. They have taken to digging in my flowers though. I plant them they dig them back up. Last year I planted a few trees and the Rotty actually unearthed my trees and used them like a chew toy! We have 3 acres and it is all fenced in with invisble fence. They have a LOT of toys out in the yard, plenty of bones and they always have food and water. When it is nice outside they are outside while we are at work. If it is wet or snowing they stay in the garage while we are at work. All in all they are outside or in the garage for 2-4 hours daily. The rest of the time they are with us in the house or outside with us. How do I stop them? They can't feel THAT neglected... I would consider them very spoiled doggies. They are rarely alone! Could this be anxiety? Any help would be apprecitaed. Thank you!
How do I get my dogs to stop digging up my flowers and other landscaping plants?
I put up that black plastic 1" mesh fencing you can get at Tractor Supply, Lowe's %26amp; Home Depot. I also sprayed my plants with Texas HOT pepper sauce... I bought the largest, cheapest one I could find at the grocery, and it worked. Bitter apple did NOT deter my girl who LOVED to pull up my plants to chew both roots and leaves.
I did also have to put that fencing around my young trees. They don't feel neglected. They JUST have a STRONG NEED TO CHEW! @-%26gt;--
Reply:I don't think it's that they are feeling neglected. When you're gone they probably just get bored and think it's fun to dig in the dirt and play with new stuff. Try buying the small pickett fences at hardware stores or even Walmart. I use a thin metal one in my yard where I don't want the dogs to get into. Yes mine are large enough to hop over but when I first put it up I made sure to always be out there and when they'd hop over it I'd tell them "NO!" I did this for a few weeks and now the dogs don't even care to go over there. But this might not work for all dogs, especially those left unsupervised for a few hours... it may be too tempting but it's worth a try and it's not expensive at all.
Reply:Consider running the Invisible fence around the flower beds.
It that doesn't work, you could put up a small ornamental fence around the beds to keep them out. AND go outside with them and correct them.
I have 5 dogs, 4 are labs. They like to RUN through my flower beds. It's a constant battle but the small fence did solve the problem for us.
EDIT: It's not anxiety, it's boredom. Mine did that when they were bored or while they were playing with each other. They didn't pay attention to where they ran.
More toys, more supervision and less time out alone =).
Reply:Well my two Rotwialers did the same thing. So we got them trained, now they are the best behaving dogs I know.

The Rules of the game?
For thousands of years, men have tried to understand the rules when dealing with women. Finally, this merit/demerit guide will help you to understand just how it works.
Remember, in the world of romance, one single rule applies: Make the woman happy. Do something she likes, and you get points. Do something she dislikes and points are subtracted.
You don't get any points for doing something she expects. Sorry, but that's the way the game is played.

Type of tree to plant?
we just bought our neighbors land %26amp; trailor next door %26amp; sold the trailor so now were going to plant some trees in its place...the land is about 80ft mayb a little more or less %26amp; wide enough for 2 trailors to sit side by side touching
-id like a tree w/ blooms or flowers but i hate bees so idk if theres anything like that that wont attract bees (???)
-i live in ky so the weather is rainy springs, hot summers (gets into the 90's), cool falls %26amp; very cold winters (occasional snow)
-it doesnt matter how fast it grows...were not in any hurry we'd just like to have somthing there so its not so empty
-also nothing too too expensive
-maybe a nice shade tree??
thanks so much any suggestions would be great!
Type of tree to plant?
My favorite is the Crepe Myrtle. It has beautiful flowers in the summer, and most importantly a root structure that doesn't destroy sidewalks or foundations.
It survives our 100 degree summers and freezing winters quite well.
Reply:Red Maple is nice
Reply:Maples make wonderful shade trees!
Maybe mix the maples....you have yellow maple, red maple, the are lovely when the fall weather comes!
is the area wet? a Water Willow takes a damp area..but a nice Weeping Willow would make a great shade tree too!
What is your state tree??? try planting one of them.
I don't blame you for not wanting blooming trees...

St. Theresa Novena?
I have the novena to St Theresa the little flower. The novena states that if after the 5th day of prayer you see a rose your prayer will be answered. I saw a rose accidently as it had been snowing and it was by chance I walked into a room with a vase of roses.
has this happened to anyone? Was their prayer answered
St. Theresa Novena?
Point of order: 'The Little Flower' was St. TheresE.
St. TheresA was the confused woman who had a series of wet dreams, which she interpreted as heavenly ecstasies. In the spirit of the times, many seem to have agreed with her. Tut.
Some would say that seeing roses is hardly an unusual event, but far be it from me to burst your ickle bubble, I'm sure.

Who's the environmentalist: Al Gore or George Bush?
HOUSE # 1:
A 20-room mansion (not including 8 bathrooms) heated by natural gas. Add on a pool (and a pool house) and a separate guest house all heated by gas. In ONE MONTH ALONE this mansion consumes more energy than the average American household in an ENTIRE YEAR. The average bill for electricity and natural gas runs over $2,400.00 per month. In natural gas alone (which last time we checked was a fossil fuel), this property consumes more than 20 times the national average for an American home. This house is not in a northern or Midwestern "snow belt," either. It's in the South.
HOUSE # 2:
Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national university, this house incorporates every "green" feature current home construction can provide. The house contains only 4,000 square feet (4 bedrooms) and is nestled on arid high prairie in the American southwest. A central closet in the house holds geothermal heat pumps drawing ground water through pipes sunk 300 feet into the ground. The water (usually 67 degrees F.) heats the house in winter and cools it in summer. The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas, and it consumes 25% of the electricity required for a conventional
heating/cooling system. Rainwater from the roof is collected and funneled into a 25,000 gallon underground cistern. Wastewater from showers, sinks and toilets goes into underground purifying tanks and then into the cistern. The collected water then irrigates the land surrounding the house. Flowers and shrubs native to the area blend the property into the surrounding rural landscape.
HOUSE # 1 (20 room energy guzzling mansion) is outside of Nashville, Tennessee. It is the abode of that renowned environmentalist (and filmmaker) Al Gore.
HOUSE # 2 (model eco-friendly house) is on a ranch near Crawford , Texas . Also known as "the Texas White House," it is the private residence of the President of the United States , George W. Bush.
Who's the environmentalist: Al Gore or George Bush?
If you're a true environmentalist, you'll live in an eco-friendly house. Therefore according to the facts you have provided, Al Gore is definitely not an environmentalist. Since Al Gore is definitely not an environmentalist, that only leaves George W. Bush. Process of elimination.

Reply:Gore is a hypocrite, no question, but Bush domestic policies have done more harm to the environment than any president ever.

Reply:In spite of Mike O's incredibly stupid statement, the answer is President Bush. What makes it even better is that he's not been capitalizing on it.

BTW, Al Gore says his offsets are due to "carbon credits". These come in the form of investments in his own carbon credit company that has produced nothing, but he stands to make millions on, if it was supported by the Democratic faithful.

But see your not going to get the far left to change their view on him. I asked how could people herald him as a hero when he does not even support his own message. their response? it's the message not the messenger.
so that means I could serve them the best steak money can buy, put the finest side dishes and pour the best wine, and basically serve it on the underside of a dirty trashcan lid and a used dog food bowl and they would think it was OK...

Reply:well it is not realy a matter of who the enviormentalist it is a matter of who is a hippocrite and whose not.
Reply:Neither. Gore has been campaigning with videos,even came on here, for possibly conencting with the populus on an issue which scientists warned about over 30 years ago. There are many factors which are making this planet less suitable for human life.
Wasting some electricity is far from the problem, but I still agree it is an issue easilier solved by turning lights off and better practice of electricity management . There have been no measures so far in correcting this problem other than showing the public we can create hybrid cars and recycle some plastic.
What about the natural plant life ? Some may think that...." Aw heck, we got enough for eternity" Not when plants are dying, no less the deforestation without replantation,and more are added to the animal/plant extinction list. I think Gore is just putting up some window dressing for another Presidential Campaign.
Reply:Gosh Mike-O can't you read?
Well, I see what you are saying and I agree.

Aw heck, we got enough for eternity" Not when plants are dying, no less the deforestation without replantation,and more are added to the animal/plant extinction list. I think Gore is just putting up some window dressing for another Presidential Campaign.

Well, I see what you are saying and I agree.
I consider "environmentalist" to be "communist without portfolio".
Where did you think the comunist/socialist all went when the Berlin wall fell...Siberia?
Heehee...yah, that's where they went.

What skin tone am I?
Winter: Cool and clear. The concept is a bright winter day with snow on the ground, very stark and dramatic. Many African and Asian people are winters, as are most Caucasians with very pale skin, dark hair, and strongly colored eyes.
Summer: Cool and muted. The concept is of flowers seen through a summer haze. Skintone is either very light or a very strong complexion, always with a pinkish cast to it. They tan very easily. Hair is always somewhat ashy or found to be duller than they would like it. Color ranges from a light platinum blond to dark brown. Highlight usually look great on Summers. Eyes are usually grayish blue or green, sometimes brown.
This was about the only one I could find of me in natural light, it is also a few years old but you can at least see my skin tone

Since you have a light to medium complection,med brown hair and either gray or hazel eyes,you sound to be a summer.
The only aspect that doesn't fall in this catogory,
is your hair which is at least a medium golden brown.
Since you are a summer overall in complection,try wearing bronzed or light jewel tones in eyeshadow,either a raisen or amythist even drk.brown eyeliner(gel eyeliner is recommened but not a must.)then eiteher a drk.brown or soft black mascara,and that'll look good with a clear or bronzed peach lipgloss.

%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; HOUSE # 1:

%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; A 20-room mansion (not including 8 bathrooms) heated by natural
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; gas.
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; Add on
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; a pool (and a pool house) and a separate guest house all heated by
%26gt;%26gt; gas.
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; In
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; ONE MONTH ALONE this mansion consumes more energy than the average
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; American
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; household in an ENTIRE YEAR. The average bill for electricity and

%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; gas runs over $2,400.00 per month. In natural gas alone (which last

%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; checked was a fossil fuel), this property consumes more than 20

%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; "snow belt," either. It's in the South.

%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national
%26gt;%26gt; university,
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; this
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; house incorporates every "green" feature current home construction
%26gt;%26gt; can
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; provide. The house contains only 4,000 square feet (4 bedrooms)
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; and
%26gt;%26gt; is
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; nestled on
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; arid high prairie in the American southwest. A central closet in
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; the
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; house
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; holds geothermal heat pumps drawing ground water through pipes sunk
%26gt;%26gt; 300
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; feet
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; into the ground. The water (usually 67 degrees F.) heats the house
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; in
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; winter
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; and cools it in summer. The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil
%26gt;%26gt; or
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; natural gas, and it consumes 25% of the electricity required for a
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; conventional heating/cooling system. Rainwater from the roof is
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; collected
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; and funneled into a 25,000 gallon underground cistern. Wastewater
%26gt;%26gt; from
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; showers,
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; sinks and toilets goes into underground purifying tanks and then
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; into
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; the cistern.
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; The collected water then irrigates the land surrounding the house.
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; Flowers and shrubs native to the area blend the property into the
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; surrounding rural landscape.

%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; NO KIDDING
What do you think about this?
The whole thing is a fraud and even Gore doesn't believe it
The idea that there is an imminent impending global disaster resulting from human actions is a complete and utter lie, plain and simple. Either Al Gore is an unbelievably stupid man or he’s laughing all the way to the bank at the stupidity of the general public that’s willing to pay money to see his movie. “An Inconvenient Truth” would be more appropriately titled “A Convenient Lie” – convenient for Al Gore anyway who has now produced the third highest grossing documentary of all time – over $24,000,000 to date ($47 million world-wide). That doesn’t include the additional unjust profits earned from book sales and speaking engagements.
His film would lead you to believe that every single scientist even remotely qualified to study global climate change agrees that disaster is imminent and that humankind is the direct cause. The reality of the situation is quite the opposite – most qualified scientists vehemently disagree with this assertion.
It is unbelievable how many people believe and treat this complete and utter fallacy as fact. Read blogs, newspaper articles, Internet forums – a startling number of people have bought this lie hook line and sinker.
I’m sure most would argue that even if the science is flawed, certainly it’s a good idea for us all to take it a little bit easier on the planet and with that I would most certainly agree. However, not only is Al Gore and company all wrong on the cause of global climate change (or perhaps even the very existence of global climate change) but their proposed solution could potentially be harmful to the environment.
The problem is that Al Gore and others have somehow, absent virtually any credible scientific evidence whatsoever, latched onto the idea that man-made CO2 (carbon dioxide) is the single biggest threat to environment. Credible research actually shows quite the opposite, it may in fact be true that additional carbon dioxide in the environment is beneficial to the Earth’s entire ecosystem stimulating the growth of additional plant and animal life. Carbon dioxide is not a noxious chemical but rather a relatively benign compound that is either used or released through virtually any organic process. Humans and animals breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, plants ingest carbon dioxide and expel oxygen and yes carbon dioxide is a bi-product of burning fossil fuels.
Regardless of the facts stated above, man-made carbon dioxide is actually not even a significant percentage of the carbon dioxide found within the Earth’s atmosphere.
I don’t want to reinvent the wheel and I will link to all the material that supports what I’m saying, as if it’s not bad enough that Al Gore is propagating a complete and total lie, his proposed solution to a non-existent problem is potentially harmful to the environment.
Please don’t misunderstand, I don’t dispute that there aren’t many things humans do that are very detrimental to the Earth’s environment, however there is NO credible scientific data to suggest that excessive release of CO2 into the environment is one of them.
If you want to help the environment focus on doing something that actually helps the environment rather attempting to solve a problem that may or may not exist by doing something that will not help (and might hurt) the situation.
Don’t take my word for it, here’s 17,200+ scientists (and counting) that agree there is no element of truth to Gore's film:
http://www.oism.org/pproject/s33p357.htm...
Here is the letter sent on behalf of the petition signers requesting that our government not sign the Kyoto treaty to reduce C02 emissions because it will not help anything and in fact may be detrimental to the environment and to developing nations:
http://www.oism.org/pproject/s33p41.htm....
Here is supporting peer-reviewed- research:
http://www.oism.org/pproject/s33p36.htm....
Here are a few articles from the Canada Free Press shooting down all the Global Warming hype:

http://www.canadafreepress.com/2006/harr...
Don’t be another jackass out there campaigning for a pointless solution to a problem that has little to no hard scientific evidence suggesting it even exists. If you want to be an activist step one is finding a problem that actually exists and step two is finding a solution that is not only realistic but will actually resolve the problem. Al Gore and friends probably failed at step one and certainly failed at step 2.
Even if reducing CO2 emissions is not detrimental to the environment it is unlikely to do anything beneficial either. Mandating reduction of CO2 emissions will most certainly be harmful economically, especially to developing nations that cannot afford or do not otherwise have access to alternative technologies. How Ironic, Al Gore, liberals and all the other Hollywood idiots riding the global warming bandwagon are usually the same bleeding hearts lecturing us on how we need to help developing nations. Not only that but other dishonest frauds are taking advantage of the general public's belief in this carbon dioxide disaster myth to get rich by selling “carbon-credits.” Check it out. http://www.terrapass.com/.
Don’t be a sucker – next time some jerkoff celebrity, former politician or other talking head tries to sell you something demand some hard scientific evidence.

%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; Washington Post. Indeed, for Mr. Gore, it's truly "an inconvenient
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; truth."
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; NO KIDDING
What do you think about this?
The whole thing is a fraud and even Gore doesn't believe it
The idea that there is an imminent impending global disaster resulting from human actions is a complete and utter lie, plain and simple. Either Al Gore is an unbelievably stupid man or he’s laughing all the way to the bank at the stupidity of the general public that’s willing to pay money to see his movie. “An Inconvenient Truth” would be more appropriately titled “A Convenient Lie” – convenient for Al Gore anyway who has now produced the third highest grossing documentary of all time – over $24,000,000 to date ($47 million world-wide). That doesn’t include the additional unjust profits earned from book sales and speaking engagements.
His film would lead you to believe that every single scientist even remotely qualified to study global climate change agrees that disaster is imminent and that humankind is the direct cause. The reality of the situation is quite the opposite – most qualified scientists vehemently disagree with this assertion.
It is unbelievable how many people believe and treat this complete and utter fallacy as fact. Read blogs, newspaper articles, Internet forums – a startling number of people have bought this lie hook line and sinker.
I’m sure most would argue that even if the science is flawed, certainly it’s a good idea for us all to take it a little bit easier on the planet and with that I would most certainly agree. However, not only is Al Gore and company all wrong on the cause of global climate change (or perhaps even the very existence of global climate change) but their proposed solution could potentially be harmful to the environment.
The problem is that Al Gore and others have somehow, absent virtually any credible scientific evidence whatsoever, latched onto the idea that man-made CO2 (carbon dioxide) is the single biggest threat to environment. Credible research actually shows quite the opposite, it may in fact be true that additional carbon dioxide in the environment is beneficial to the Earth’s entire ecosystem stimulating the growth of additional plant and animal life. Carbon dioxide is not a noxious chemical but rather a relatively benign compound that is either used or released through virtually any organic process. Humans and animals breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, plants ingest carbon dioxide and expel oxygen and yes carbon dioxide is a bi-product of burning fossil fuels.
Regardless of the facts stated above, man-made carbon dioxide is actually not even a significant percentage of the carbon dioxide found within the Earth’s atmosphere.
I don’t want to reinvent the wheel and I will link to all the material that supports what I’m saying, as if it’s not bad enough that Al Gore is propagating a complete and total lie, his proposed solution to a non-existent problem is potentially harmful to the environment.
Please don’t misunderstand, I don’t dispute that there aren’t many things humans do that are very detrimental to the Earth’s environment, however there is NO credible scientific data to suggest that excessive release of CO2 into the environment is one of them.
If you want to help the environment focus on doing something that actually helps the environment rather attempting to solve a problem that may or may not exist by doing something that will not help (and might hurt) the situation.
Don’t take my word for it, here’s 17,200+ scientists (and counting) that agree there is no element of truth to Gore's film:
http://www.oism.org/pproject/s33p357.htm...
Here is the letter sent on behalf of the petition signers requesting that our government not sign the Kyoto treaty to reduce C02 emissions because it will not help anything and in fact may be detrimental to the environment and to developing nations:
http://www.oism.org/pproject/s33p41.htm....
Here is supporting peer-reviewed- research:
http://www.oism.org/pproject/s33p36.htm....
Here are a few articles from the Canada Free Press shooting down all the Global Warming hype:
http://www.canadafreepress.com/2006/harr...
http://www.canadafreepress.com/2006/harr...
http://www.canadafreepress.com/2006/harr...
Don’t be another jackass out there campaigning for a pointless solution to a problem that has little to no hard scientific evidence suggesting it even exists. If you want to be an activist step one is finding a problem that actually exists and step two is finding a solution that is not only realistic but will actually resolve the problem. Al Gore and friends probably failed at step one and certainly failed at step 2.
Even if reducing CO2 emissions is not detrimental to the environment it is unlikely to do anything beneficial either. Mandating reduction of CO2 emissions will most certainly be harmful economically, especially to developing nations that cannot afford or do not otherwise have access to alternative technologies. How Ironic, Al Gore, liberals and all the other Hollywood idiots riding the global warming bandwagon are usually the same bleeding hearts lecturing us on how we need to help developing nations. Not only that but other dishonest frauds are taking advantage of the general public's belief in this carbon dioxide disaster myth to get rich by selling “carbon-credits.” Check it out. http://www.terrapass.com/.
Don’t be a sucker – next time some jerkoff celebrity, former politician or other talking head tries to sell you something demand some hard scientific evidence.

Reply:Well I think I may have a little Caligynephobia- fear of beautiful women. But I think the weirdest one is Epsitemophobia I mean how and why would someone be afraid of knowledge? I mean I love it myself and wish I had much more of it! I also wish more people had knowledge and wisdom. Maybe that would cut down on all the fools we have running around in this world! lol. =)

Reply:One I don't think is listed; one of my friends is terrified of bananas...she actually runs out of the room if someone is peeling or eating one. NO idea what that is called; fruitophobia? Bananaphobia?
Reply:there's plenty weird ones up there, but i think my own fear of caterpillars is pretty bad. i'm not afraid of bugs, worms, snakes, etc. at all. just caterpillars. if i see one (in real life or in a picture) i run away screaming. and i even hate the smell of them *shudder*.
