I'd love to make her cake, something a little more than an iced sponge cake would be good, but I have no idea where to start!!
Although I am reasonably proficient in the kitchen, I am by no means an experienced cake decorator. Does anyone have any good ideas (with instructions please!) for a simple but effective cake? I was wondering about perhaps the hedgehog cake that was so impressive when we were younger... or a duck, or a ladybird would go down well with my daughter. Or a flower, seeing as her name is Daisy!
Pennies are limited at the moment, so buying fancy cake tins is out.
Many thanks for your ideas!
Any ideas for a birthday cake for my daughters 1st birthday next week?
If you look in local directory you will find cake makers/decorators.Most will rent out cake tins so you could rent a teddy-shaped tin etc.
Reply:goto a cheap supermarket and buy a cheap one and then put extra tacky pinkicing on it to look like you made it. I did that for my daughters 1st.....or...better still....do what my sister does an get her nan to make one instead.
Reply:I would check on www.kraftfoods.com and use Kids Cake on the search. They have some really cute ideas for birthday cakes that are really simple and easy to make.
Reply:it's my sons 1st birthday on friday and i ordered a spongebob cake as he likes spongebob!i think a flower cake would be nice as you say her names Daisy.
good-luck and wish your daughter a early happy birthday!
Reply:make cupcakes and ice them with pink frosting. on the cupcakes, make a cute daisy flower with yellow and white frosting.
Reply:how about a simple lemon drizzle or something, you can make the decorations easily and it only has to be drizzled (hence the name of the cake)!
Reply:At craft stores or Walmart (craft section of coarse!) You can get the top half of a barbie doll.Make a round cake, like with a bundt pan. Once the cake is done and cooled, put the doll in the middle. You can use iceing and sprinkles to make her dress (Which is the cake). It's very cute! My aunt did this for her daughter's 1st!!!
You can also find great ideas at bettycrocker.com
Reply:Just a idea if you have a tesco's near you they make birthday cakes for you. All you do is take in a picture and it gets done for you, but have a look first at what they do and i dont think it was that expensive...... Just a idea
Reply:my girls love strawberries and the color pink. can't go wrong with a box cake if you are new to baking. get a strawberry cake mix and you can either get a white frosting and decorate with sprinkles(always a hit) or colored sugar, or even some cut up strawberries, or you can go pink on pink(pink frosting) and do your own combination decorations. just remember it's her 1st so any cake you put in front of her will make her just as happy and isn't that what counts?, believe me,the amount of money you spend does not.
Reply:Congrats FiFi :)
Try looking at these cakes...I'm sure you could improvise some, but they have great ideas...
You must look at this site first...I think you will find everything you need to make her the bestest first bday cake ever :) They also have such fun games and invitation ideas to make it a total theme...and it's all do-it-yourself things......kudos especially to M%26amp;M's for this site....(try looking at the kraft foods site too...they have nice ideas as well)

Reply:what is really good is a neopolitan layerd cake. First you cook a chocolate cake. let it cool and then put a vanilla cake in. while the vanilla cake is cooking you put anykind of icing that you like. take out the vanilla cake and put a strawberry cake in. while that one is cooking you put your favorite icing ontop of the vanilla and carefully put the vanilla cake ontop of the chocolate and put your favorite icing on that one. then you take out the strawberry cake and you can make a design but what is really good is putting vanilla icing and sprinkling strawberrys and chocolate chips ontop!
Reply:This is a great cake for a little girl. It is a daisy cake and it has a simple recipe and no special cake pan required. Here is the link...I think it would be perfect and it will impress your guests too!!!
Reply:Yay hedgehog!! I still remember the one my mum made me when I was small. Keep it simple and don't stress over it.
Hedgehog is probably easiest, is cheap %26amp; so cute. And really at 1 it's more for you %26amp; rest of family than the little one - she'll like the wrapping paper best!
Don't forget to take a photo.
Reply:For my children's get togethers I always go to www.nickjr.com
They have pretty good recipes and decorating ideas.
Reply:I think this rubber duckies in a bathbub cake is adorable! The bathtub is the cake. Blue jello makes the water. The directions look pretty easy, too.

Reply:How about you make cupcakes instead or there are places now that make cupcakes and place them side by side to form a shape of cake before icing. Then when they ice them , they do so in a way that it looks like a cake but it's not, it's really the cupcakes.
Reply:Fifi - can you cut out a paper pattern for the Daisy petals - take a round cake for the center and put the petals you cut out of another cake around it? You could frost/ice the center with yellow done with food coloring and the petals with white. I think it would be beautiful!!!
How about one of these for Daisy - one of our home cooking TV cooks here in the USA made it:
Sunshine Cake
Recipe courtesy Paula Deen
6 eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup cold water
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract, or both
1 1/2 cups cake flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus pinch
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
Orange Butter Cream Frosting, recipe follows
Orange peel or zest, for garnish, optional
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Separate eggs carefully, putting whites in a large mixing bowl and yolks in another large mixing bowl. Beat egg yolks until light and foamy. Slowly add the water. Gradually beat in the sugar, then vanilla and/or almond extract; beat until pale and thick in texture (total beating time can be as long as 7 minutes). Sift flour again with salt and baking powder. Return to sifter and fold flour mixture into egg yolk mixture, sifting in a little at a time.
Beat egg whites gently until foamy. Add a pinch of salt and the cream of tartar. Increase the mixer speed and beat until they form moist, glossy peaks.
Pour the egg yolk mixture in thin stream over the entire surface of the egg white mixture, gently cutting and folding with rubber spatula, making sure everything is completely folded. Pour into an ungreased 10-inch round tube pan with a removable bottom. Draw a thin spatula gently through the batter to get rid of any large air pockets.
Bake on the second rack from the bottom of the oven for 1 hour. (The cake tends to fall a small amount after 50 minutes, so do not worry.)
Invert pan onto a rack and let cool out of the pan for 1 1/2 hours. Frost when cake is completely cooled. If desired, garnish cake with orange peel or zest.
Orange Butter Cream Frosting:
2 sticks butter
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Orange juice
Combine butter and sugar in a medium bowl. Add just enough orange juice to thin the frosting to a spreading consistency.
Reply:This may not work for her first birthday and if you're on a budget at the moment, but it's a good idea to keep in mind for future birthday ideas. When I was a little girl, my mom was famous for her cakes and she would make us a cake that showed whatever we were really into at the time....My Little Pony, Donald Duck (when I turned 2), Mickey Mouse, whatever. But she also made us little girls. They sell cake pans that are shaped like up-side down bells and all you do is make the cake itself in that shape and buy these little half Barbie things. Picture a Barbie body with a large tootpick instead of legs (she's cut off at the waist). You can use your daughter's Barbie clothes (or buy cheap ones) to cover her top, then decorate the cake however you want. You make her look like a princess, or a bride, or just like she's wearing a pretty dress. I've even seen one that looked like a mermaid sitting on a rock. You'll need to buy cake decorator tips and either buy, or learn to make, the stiffer icing needed for that kind of project.
Go to your local arts %26amp; crafts store to find all of the supplies and most often, the pan comes with decorating ideas. I made a bride for my best friend a few years ago for her engagement party and it was a big hit.
Good luck and Happy Birthday, Daisy!
Reply:you can make a bunt cake and its easy and fun to decorate you can even stick a barbi in the top middle part you might have to take of its legs though thats what my mom did for my cousin
Reply:Make loads of rice crispy buns. Use what ever recipe you have.
Make a conical out of thick paper.
Using glaced icing, icing sugar and water spread on bottom of bun cases and starting at the bottom of the conical layer the buns until you reach the top.
Decorate which party poppers, popped away from child, and drape over buns.
Did this for my daughter's first and it had many compliments as it looked wonderful but was actually very easy to make and totally stress free.
Reply:I got exactly what you need easy fast and cheap all in one
you could bake cup cake or a cake
theres some recipe here at the Michaels (The Arts %26amp; Craft store) website:
I picked out myself some recipe I taught you might like:

(especially made for a 1st year old b-day)http://www.michaels.com/art/online/proje...
(easy n looks fancy and nice)http://www.michaels.com/art/online/proje...
you could also search for cake or cupcake and maybe you like something else the website is: http://www.michaels.com/
and theres also some classes you could learn more about it by asking on your local michaels or you could ask someone taking the classes to help you and like that they are able to practice or take the classes for a few days to learn the basics

Mom-avid gardener, birthday coming up, loves sunflowers-present ideas?
my mom is turning 58 this year next month---her favorite flower is Sunflowers and she is an AVID gardener...what can I get her?
I was thinking maybe a sunflower set of garden stuff-like garden gloves with sunflowers on them, a flower pot with sunflowers on them, some stuff like that...where can I get gardening tools with sunflowers on them...or really any nice sunflower gift?
I hate to say this, but since I got a new place I'm on a budget and can not spend more than $50-$75 this year (I wish I had more to work with...)
I'm open to ideas and suggestions-any help greatly appreciated
thanks in advance!
Mom-avid gardener, birthday coming up, loves sunflowers-present ideas?
you can always try Home Depot, Lowes or any other hardware store that also has a gardening department.
Or you could look up your local greenhouses and buy stuff from there. Where I live, there is a local Amish farmer's market that sells a lot of gardening stuff %26amp; plants.
Good luck with finding your mom a present. :)
Reply:Get her the sunflower gloves and tools and some Sunflower decals and Laminate them on the tools. Maybe even a sunflower caddy or a tool rack? There's tons of stuff out there you can by and make for your mom.
Reply:How about two pairs of gloves? One for each of you, a nice card (with sunflowers) and some seedlings or seed packets along with a day spent gardening with her %26amp; maybe bring over lunch, too. This will be well within your budget, your mom will understand not spending much due to your circumstances, but will probably love %26amp; cherish the time spent with you.
Reply:There are many many many different types of sunflowers..how about a large collection of different seeds for her...some tall, short, red, orange, yellow...whatever. I don't think the cost will matter to her when it's given from the heart.
Reply:Maybe send her flowers from a website like proflowers.com. Their prices aren't to bad. They have quite a few different kinds of flowers. I'm pretty sure they have sunflowers. The only problem is when you get them in (shey ship through ups) you have to put it together yourself. Hope I helped!
Reply:Sunflowers are very nice and cheery. I found this site for you. It has some beautiful sunflower spinners, sun dials and things of that nature. You could probably check out some gardener sites online for nifty little gifts. I'm sure no matter what you get her she's gonna love it. That's just what moms do. Good luck!!

I'm making birthday cupcakes for my mom today. Looking for a great recipe.?
I would like to use piped icing, then a flower on top as decoration (a real, edible flower, or fondant-made)
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I'm making birthday cupcakes for my mom today. Looking for a great recipe.?
Use your favorite cake recipe, don't limit your search to cupcake recipies. It's the same batter, different size. I like chardonnay cake with fresh fruit. As far as flowers, orchids are edible and come in great colors. Some other common edible flowers are pansies, Johnny Jump Ups, clovers and roses. Candied rose petals are great, and would be suitable for a dessert. Cook them in simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water). When you remove them gently, sprinkle them with more sugar.
Reply:Ingredients
9 cups powdered sugar
4 1/2 tablespoons powdered egg whites
12 tablespoons warm water
2 drops food coloring (Paste Food Coloring works best)
Directions
1) Combine powdered sugar, powered egg whites and water until smooth. (Water can be adjusted to obtain the right consistency.)The consistency of the icing should be firm enough so that when a spoon is withdrawn, the icing which is drawn up will not settle back, but stay in exactly the shape drawn. However, do not make the icing too stiff or it will not flow freely through the decorator bag with tip.
2) Separate Icing into separate bowls. Add a different color of Paste Food Coloring to each bowl of Icing to obtain the desired colors for decorating the cookies.
3) Place the Piped Icing in a decorating bag fitted with a decorating tip and decorate cookies.
4) Let cookies dry completely prior to storing them.

1 can (16 oz) vanilla frosting
12 vanilla cupcakes baked in white paper liners
Multicolored chocolate-covered sunflower seeds (see Note)
24 candy spearmint leaves, sliced horizontally in thirds
48 natural almond slices

4. Cut the blackberry candy in half crosswise. Place a yellow M%26amp;M flat against the cut side of the blackberry candy piece. Place the other cut end on the other side of the M%26amp;M, to sandwich. Trim a small slice from flat end of the blackberry candy. Attach 2 pieces of licorice as antennae, and another M%26amp;M as the head.
5. Spoon 1/4 cup vanilla frosting into a ziptop bag, press out excess air and seal. Spread remaining vanilla frosting on top of cupcakes.

How would you feel?
If working in a department of 3 (all three are women) with one being the boss.
How would you feel if your boss bought birthday flowers for the coworker and 4 months ago bought nothing to you or even said happy b-day?
How would you feel?
I'd feel like she was playing favorites and wasn't very professional. It's an indication of things to come. You might want to start looking for another job.
Reply:I'd think "who cares". Flowers die.
But now, if the boss looked over me for a promotion that I deserved and the other girl didn't, or if she gave the other girl time off and not me, something like that, then we'd have us a serious problem on our hands.
Reply:I'd feel a little hurt but wouldn't take it too personal. I agree maybe she didn't know it was your birthday. I would probably just make a light hearted joke and say. "What no flowers for me?" But I would make sure I only say it if I know my boss well and she wouldn't be offended. This way if she didn't know, she will probably tell you or it will be a polite way of pointing out that you don't feel she should be showing favorites.
If they are friends outside of the office then those things should stay outside of the office (since one is a supervisor and it shows favoritism).
Reply:I'd notice that, too! It is rude, but maybe they are reallllly close -- like closer than you could imagine. Just hold your head up high, ignore it, don't say a thing, and you'll be above that behavior, and they won't even know it bothered you. That's the professional way of brushing off crap. You go girl!
Reply:i would feel horrible!!! It must be that the boss doesnt like you.
But you should get over it and move on. Maby the boss doesnt know you that well and is close to the other person.
Reply:It's tacky on the part of the boss - when you manage others, you can't have favorite children or you create exactly what is happening here - the perception that some employees are more special than others.
You could make a joke about it to let her know that you noticed ("Hey, what do I have to do to earn flowers on MY birthday?"), or you could just let it go. Other people's rudeness is not your problem.
BTW - happy belated birthday! :)
Reply:First, does she know when your birthday is? This sounds pretty basic, but with all the stuff that cannot be asked anymore without offending someone, its possible they aren't aware of it.
Second, did you do anything for their birthdays? Many times its sort of a thing that people only do to reciprocate what has been done for them.
That being said, I understand what its like to be the forgotton one. I worked for five years at a company of about 25 people, very close knit group, and we celebrated everything. I am a cake baker, so I would bake for everyone, but in those five years, no one ever did this for me. It was pretty hurtful, because they did know when my birthday was, because it was the same as another person in the office and it was usually around when I took a vacation. This shunning was part of the reason I didn't like working there. Afterward, everyone said they never baked me a cake because mine were so nice they were afraid to try! Its hard to take personal rejection, but your job isn't a social club, and if its a good job, then try to concentrate on other things. If this is still bothering you four months later, you are really holding onto some bitter feelings that are affecting your health. Try to just let it go. If you really really really want a birthday cake next year, just ask now if you can institute a regular birthday party for all employees to boost morale. Then it won't seem like you are just doing it for yourself.
Reply:I'll be OK, not all people are obligated to notice you on a personal level specially if you are co-workers but not Friends, maybe the other lady is more friends wit her, but definitely I wouldn't care, it would hurt me if it was my best friend the one that didn't say anything. Good luck, Cheer Up! :)
Reply:I would be very upset. But does the boss know when your birthday is. Your boss is in the wrong but why don't you speak to your co-worker who got the flowers and ask her how the boss knew her birthday.
Reply:I'd be hurt but I'd get over it....maybe they are closer friends outside of work? Maybe she didn't know it was your Birthday?

You could make a joke about it to let her know that you noticed ("Hey, what do I have to do to earn flowers on MY birthday?"), or you could just let it go. Other people's rudeness is not your problem.
BTW - happy belated birthday! :)
Reply:First, does she know when your birthday is? This sounds pretty basic, but with all the stuff that cannot be asked anymore without offending someone, its possible they aren't aware of it.
Second, did you do anything for their birthdays? Many times its sort of a thing that people only do to reciprocate what has been done for them.
That being said, I understand what its like to be the forgotton one. I worked for five years at a company of about 25 people, very close knit group, and we celebrated everything. I am a cake baker, so I would bake for everyone, but in those five years, no one ever did this for me. It was pretty hurtful, because they did know when my birthday was, because it was the same as another person in the office and it was usually around when I took a vacation. This shunning was part of the reason I didn't like working there. Afterward, everyone said they never baked me a cake because mine were so nice they were afraid to try! Its hard to take personal rejection, but your job isn't a social club, and if its a good job, then try to concentrate on other things. If this is still bothering you four months later, you are really holding onto some bitter feelings that are affecting your health. Try to just let it go. If you really really really want a birthday cake next year, just ask now if you can institute a regular birthday party for all employees to boost morale. Then it won't seem like you are just doing it for yourself.
Reply:I'll be OK, not all people are obligated to notice you on a personal level specially if you are co-workers but not Friends, maybe the other lady is more friends wit her, but definitely I wouldn't care, it would hurt me if it was my best friend the one that didn't say anything. Good luck, Cheer Up! :)
Reply:I would be very upset. But does the boss know when your birthday is. Your boss is in the wrong but why don't you speak to your co-worker who got the flowers and ask her how the boss knew her birthday.
Reply:I'd be hurt but I'd get over it....maybe they are closer friends outside of work? Maybe she didn't know it was your Birthday?

Do I have any hope of reconciling?
I have been married for almost 18 years and recently my wife left me with our two kids. I sent birthday flowers to another woman and lied to my wife about it. I, also, began viewing internet porn sites (Playboy, etc...nothing perverse or illegal) with increased frequency. She has interpreted these actions as my loss of interest and love for her and is not showing any interest in reconciling even though most of her friends and family believe we have too much to give up over this. We have both gone to counseling (separate and together) and I am trying everything to show her how much she means to me but with little effect. She is also receiving almost daily aadvice from a friend of hers who is undergoing a messy divorce/ separation which is adversely affecting her desire to reconcile.
Do I have any hope of reconciling?
Maybe there have been cracks in your marriage for a while thats why you sent flowers to another woman and she was just waiting for an excuse to leave you.
Reply:not possible if only one is willing to reconcile because only works if two people work at it not one so both have to be interested. sounds like no unless she changes her mind and in this world anything is possible for those who believe in faith and having just a mustard seed can move mountains. good luck.
Reply:if you were my guy %26amp; you sent flowers to another woman %26amp; lie as well about it %26amp; went to porn sites I dont know how bad playboy is but if its porn its porn well you would be history with me because that is all you have been caught for
I would never forgive a cheater because they are liars %26amp; i hate liars %26amp; thats why your wife wont forgive you because you cheated when you gave another woman flower's %26amp; viewing porn
Reply:lol man! you f'd up----we all do sometimes. all of the attention you can give her is suspect now and it may always be. Until she is ready to forgive you there is not a thing you can do. Don't stop trying though if you are sincere about her but I can tell you----God does things in mysterious ways---what i once thought was the end of everything for me led me into a new beginning--a new life---a better life. He may bring her back -- He may not-- he teaches forgiveness---forgive yourself first---and CHANGE DUDE! maybe she will see it--- the first thing she will need is a newfound faith in you---give her reason to believe in you.
Reply:ive seen a similar situation to this except the guy was doing drugs instead of looking at porn . he really loved his wife but she couldnt get past what he did so she moved out and moved in with her lesbian friend , needless to say the lesbian friend did everything in her power to keep them seperated . so unfortunately she never took him back and started a nasty divorce that has cost them both a fortune all because other people told her she was better than him and to "leave his ***" . now, i could see where your wife would be concerned over the flowers but after 18 years of marriage a little slip up here or there is very common so that is something that she should be able to get over . the fact that you are looking at porn shows that you are fantasizing about kinky sex acts that your wife probably doesnt want to engage in and most guys do look at porn married or not , her issue with the porn could be that she is insecure and feels that she cant compare to those girls and that you wont respect her no woman likes not feeling good enough.
wrap up : if you have already been to counseling and it isnt having an effect the marriage is probably over, unfortunately you loving her completely isnt enough it takes two to make a marriage work . give a little more effort and if she refuses to work with you instead of against you let it go and try to live out the rest of your life the best way you can.
Reply:ask her if she loves you. tell her the truth and that if you love each other enough youll make it work. Tell her that theres nothing you cant overcome if you stick together.
Reply:what a mess you are in... I want to first ask-did you cheat on her? if that answer is no, than she needs to sit down and be an adult with you. Why did you lie about the flowers to a friend? Was it because you dont sent flowers to your wife.
Porno is a problem. You need to see where she is coming from in this issue. Those playboy girls are hotties. She is probably thinking you wished your wife was one of those girls. She probably feels ugly and not very sexy.
How to fix this. Well for starters realizing it cannot be fixed over night. Women need time. though not to much time, you need to ask her if there is even hope for reconciling, because if there is not, then why waste your time. !8 years is alot so she needs to man up a bit.
My only other comment is sometimes relationships were already doomed before they doomed. Married people often forget that your love and romance is a fire, if you dont put wood(i.e. excitement, thrill) into it, the fire goes out. Most couples use excuses like I dont have time, I am tired. We must remember that in the end, all we have left is each other, so we need to also keep each other close.
Make sure that you apologize to her, in a special way, that you know will make her sparkle. Flowers are a clique. Take her to her favorite restaurant, make her her favorite meal, write her a poem. What ever it is she fancys do it and then tell her you really want to add fire back into your love life...
Reply:Well, it ain't over till it's over. You nailed the issue right on the head though. At least you have backbone to be honest about it. I cannot speak for your wife, but had my husband done that, I would end it as well. Maybe you should send her flowers everyday and ask her to go on a dates. If you really want her and not your freedom, you will have to go over the top and prove it. People make mistakes. When you know your partner is truly sorry, you may want to give it another chance. But, it would take a huge effort on your part to get your foot in the door. Flowers, letters, cards, buy her gifts, call her...but don't fight with her. If she gets angry with you, listen to her. My husband also did similar, but also no affair, and he did everything he could to prove he did not want to lose me. It worked. And I believe he will never do it again. Although there are times I still worry if he is trustworthy. But, it gets better with time. Good luck with this and keep us posted on your progress. I really hope you do win her back!
Reply:Your wife is insecure and vulnerable. She needs to be convinced of your love and support for her (which could include your absence). When she believes, she may return.
Reply:There is a couple of things you can try which will give you the opportunity, if she agrees, to start on the road to recovering your marriage as it sounds as though there is no talk of divorce yet. Which is a good sign!
1) You can call her, if she is accepting your calls and ask her to go to dinner, just to talk. Dont be too desperate and emotional when you ask her as she will look at it as a weakness in you. Give her a week to get back to you.
2) Write her a letter. Write it from the heart and list all the reason's for wanting to make it work. List all the irresponsibilities you have placed on the marriage. Include how your actions made you feel and try to recognise and understand how this made her feel and say it! You are not asking for a second chance for you but a chance to contribute to fixing your marriage together and you need her input also. You cannot do this on your own. Give her a week to respond to the dinner invitation and mention this in the letter and say you'll check in with her in a week if thats ok.
If she wants to fix the marriage, she will respond to one of the above. If she doesnt want to fix it and has really had a change of heart, she wont.
Ask her to tell the truth on how she feels. I would begin seeing another counsellor and start from the beginning of where things went wrong, and be honest!
If you get the opportunity with her again, then write everything down on paper together. List all the things that have gone wrong and how you both felt under the circumstances. And most important, listen to eachother. It's easy to hear someone, but really listening, comes from the heart. She needs to do the same.
Sometimes a good friend can act as a great mediator when you both struggle to understand eachother. Try it, if she agrees.
If she really loves you and wants to work it out, this will work.
Good luck and let us know the outcome.

Fundraising ideas for the office?
We're just a little office (25), but we like to have money for employee birthday flowers, special lunches, etc. With this few people, I'm looking for ideas on how to raise a bit more petty cash from within.
Fundraising ideas for the office?
There are so many things to do...do you have a BJ's or Sam's Club, or some place available to purchase items in bulk? where i work, we sell candy bars for $1 each. we purchase @ BJ's. of course you would need start-up cash. unfortunately, it takes cash to make cash, but buying in bulk can be a good way to start. is your office open to the public? that way people coming in could also take part, although if it is just used for inhouse events, i probably wouldn't go there. we do it for the United Way, and we have signs posted stating where the funds are going. we also have about 150 employees, and the public helping. maybe, you could start having employees contribute a certain dollar amount a month or year that would help to cover some costs. cut the birthday flowers down to a single rose, to be able to have more available for special lunches. the person who just had the last birthday will be responsible for providing the cake for the next birthday, homemade works too...with a small office it will be harder to raise funds from within...you could contact a tupperware dealer (or some other item that there may be an interest in) in your area to discuss fundraising. the employees could have their friends and families make purchases and your office would get a percentage of the sales.

Would you think this was funny coming from your mom-in-law?
Dear Darling Son and That Person You Married,
Merry Christmas to you, and please don't worry. I'm just fine considering I can't breathe or eat. The important thing is that you have a nice holiday, thousands of miles away from your ailing mother.
I've sent along my last ten dollars in this card, which I hope you'll spend on my grandchildren. God knows their mother never buys them anything nice. They look so thin in their pictures, poor babies.
Thank you so much for the birthday flowers, dear boy. I put them in the freezer so they'll stay fresh for my grave. Which reminds me -- we buried Grandma last week. I know she died years ago, but I got to yearning for a good funeral so Aunt Berta and I dug her up and had the services all over again.
I would have invited you, but I know that woman you live with would have never let you come. I bet she's never even watched that videotape of my hemorrhoid surgery, has she?
Well son, it's time for me to crawl off to bed now. I lost my cane beating off muggers last week, but don't you worry about me.
I'm also getting used to the cold since they turned my heat off and am grateful because the frost on my bed numbs the constant pain.
Now don't you even think about sending any more money, because I know you need it for those expensive family vacations you take every year. Give my love to my darling Grandbabies and my regards to whatever-her-name-is --the one with the black roots in her hair who stole you screaming from my bosom.
Merry Christmas,
Love, Mom
Would you think this was funny coming from your mom-in-law?
Hi!
Wow!... I am reminded of that commercial where this woman and her Mother-in-law were in the bathroom discussing the uses of an anti-bacterial spray, and the the woman dryly asks her MIL if she uses the spray, will it make the MIL forget where they live.
Your MIL is a classic dysfunctional "out-law" just bursting with ugly hostility, and it's a blessing for your family that she's too far away to access your innocent babies. I would write back a sweetly gracious letter in this format...
Greetings you parasitic old bat...Ha,ha! You really had me going with that going to the grave business, as I was hoping you'd be dead by now, but no such luck. I am sorry to see that you are still possessed by that unhealthy delusion of believing your son is your husband or father, and in the grips of this fantasy, you cannot recall that having a family in any day and age is a very expensive, labor intensive, 'round-the-clock job. That said, thanks for telling us you don't need any more money, as the costs of school and doctor visits for our babies does not leave us enough to take on adult dependents, no matter how legitimately insane, decrepit, infantile, and malignant they may be. I'm glad for the timely arrival of your letter, as the holiday season lead me to a momentary lapse of judgment, and silly me, I thought I should let you have visitation with your grand babies. I'm glad you reminded me that this would be an exponentially stupid idea, as you cannot even be civil in your sense of humor. I will keep your letter as a constant reminder of why I should always keep many miles between you and us.
Sincerely, Black Roots-What's-Her-Name.
That your husband is with you so many miles away from his awful mother actually speaks well of his maturity and sensible paternal instincts. Bless you all. Don't let her get to you.
Reply:Wait, if its not real, how do you know she thought of sending that to you?
Reply:amm some of it is funny.. but it really depends if she likes you or not from before? did she think the wedding was a good idea ? does she actualy live in these condition ? if they are true then you might have a rpoblem and i think you should try and solve it fast...

Reply:Dala - was that a Christmas card that your mom-in-law bought and sent to your husband? Or one of those gag Christmas letters?
Is your mom-in-law destitute? Starving? Did she dig up her mother's remains? Did she send you a videotape of her hemorrhoid surgery? NO?!?
Then, I thinks it's hilarious!
Please know, how you hear what someone says is determined by your interpretations, and your interpretations flow from your past. This is very important to know, especially if you find that you overreact to what others say or habitually get your feelings hurt. . . . Remember, what someone said is not necessarily what you heard, and what you heard is not necessarily what they meant.
Reply:is that a card or a letter she personally wrote ?? either way is prtty hurtful and rude ... thr are many more funny cards available ... this is ridiculous ... do not confront her .. try speaking politely to her ... if she says its was just a joke then laugh it off and tell her u thot so n the go out buy an even more meaner card and send it to her ... well if she can play a joke so can u right ???
Reply:you've met my mil??
Reply:I think its kind of funny, it either means that she really does like you and feels comfortable joking with you about that sort of thing, or she really dislikes you. However, if she disliked and resented you that much, you would definitely know by now. So, she probably just feels that comfortable with you.
Reply:First off, "it is funny"! :) Don't take it personnel, I doubt if she is that creative. She probably heard or seen it somewhere and thought she play a joke on you and her son. (Thinking you have a great sense of humor and would enjoy this laugh.) If she has never done something like this in all the years you have been married to her son, then its one of two things, . . . she has lost her mind and then is not responsible for her actions, or she has a dry sense of humor, and probably waiting for you to call her." LYAO"! I would never take anything like that serious. In fact, later on in life I may send it to one of my sons and see what kind of reaction I would get. Its too funny!!! :)
Reply:That B*%%26amp;$! I'd be hurt too...but dont worry about it, as long as u know that u r a great wife and mother thats all that matters...u kno screw her and her complaints u dont have to live with her nor do you have to please her. Clearly u r doing something right if ur husband is happy! Hope u feel better!
Reply:well, at least she is being honest, so now you know what your up against.
it is pretty funny though. you could respond to each statement.
Dear Mom.
It is almost always wonderfull to hear from you. but please dear you must be eating and breathing at least a little how else could you continue to live?
Thank you sooo much for the cash. I hurried right to the grocery and bought lots of doughnuts for the little ones, we can fatten them up to be just like their dearest grandma.
Aunt Berta was a very good person, Wasnt she ? Seems such a shame to lose the best first dosent it ?
How are your hemmroids by the way ? Being constipated all the time must be a horrible strain. They make laxitives especially for very old people like you. and suppositories and enemas. You might even by now be considering hiring a nurse to help you a couple times a week. Please Mom you really must take better care of yourself.
Oh mom, Im so sorry that you got mugged, well one good thing if you were someone who was really pretty you might have been raped as well. So I am happy all you lost was your cane. Please be carefull.
Frost on your bed. I hope thats not a reflection of your sex life Ha Ha. No really, if it numbs the pain, how much can you really complain ? (hey that rhymed)
Oh and about the money Ive been sending. We are going to Hawaii for two months starting next week. I dont have the address handy but maybe we can send you a card.
Whats-her-name says hello to you too (bi***)
Bye for now
Reply:If the situation is not real why would you make this up?

you are troubled.... I had a Mother-in-law, pure evil. I ignored her every move and still do. Try it, it may help.
If not, do as you said, Confront her and tell her off nd...Stay away.
Reply:she was prob just joking don't take it to heart she prob did not no that it upset u tell her how u feel and she would prob b upset 2 think that her joke upset u and then realise that she took it a little 2 far
Reply:if it's not a real situation, how do you know she's thinking of sending something like that to you? I'm a little confused.
Reply:I'm guessing that your mother-in-law really LOVES YOU, or she wouldn't have sent this to you and your husband ... and it's HILARIOUS! I don't think that you should 'feel hurt' but you should call her and compliment her on her exqusite sense of humor.
Reply:lol You're cracking me up! It wasn't real, right? If it was...well, just forget about her.
Reply:i dont think i would like it eather.one day when you are talking to her tell her to kiss your *** and then say i was kidding just to see how she likes it and dont for get to send her a coppy of all the answer you got fromyahoo answers
Reply:no that's very ignorant of her to say about u knowing that you do anything and everything for ur children and say u wouldn't let her son go see her when u know it would mean everything to him to go see his mother and why would u stop him from doing that that's just stupid. i guess she was mad because u took her baby from her and she has nobody else there for her
Reply:if the situation isn't real..
are you sure mom is the problem?
Reply:This is very funny.
Im ROTFLOL!
I HAVE to tell somebody about that!
Reply:well... considering who my mother in law is going to be... i'd laugh hysterically. it's most likely a joke, and she's feeding off of your insecurities. i wouldn't worry too much, or if you're really that upset about it, maybe talk to her? or your husband?
idk, i would think of it as a joke. but you never know.
Reply:o-o
that lady has some serious issues to even think about that. don't listen to a thing she says.
Reply:shut up! you did not really recieve that! If you did thats rediculous and your man needs to tell her that jokes like that are totally innappropriate! I would imagine that something like that always comes from truth on some level.
Reply:Too funny. the ultimate guilt trip. Check out my website to book travel and earn extra cash http://www.debbiestravelstore.com/
Reply:Either she has a strange sense of humour and is insensitive at best and you could ignore it OR send her a letter back saying what a lovely letter you received from her and will spread the joy of the contents with your friends and family.
If my Mother in law sent me something like this to be nasty, I would never bother with her again. I have/had a nasty grandmother, 5 years ago when she threw her usual nasty comments at me. I got up and walked out of the family dinner and have never bothered with her again. Despite her letters and other family members expecting me to 'suck it up'. I have stood my ground. It is best to keep poison/nasty people out of your life. She will loose in the long run and its all her own doing.
Earlier this year I read a book by Dr Laura in which she touched upon nasty people, she questions why would you expose yourself or your children to someone like that. You wouldn't put up with bad behaviour from a stranger, why would you put up with it from someone who is suppose to be family.
I have to wonder what your husband has to say about it and did she include the $10.
If will hurt for a bit, but remember in a few days you will be back to your happy self.

Merry Christmas to you, and please don't worry. I'm just fine considering I can't breathe or eat. The important thing is that you have a nice holiday, thousands of miles away from your ailing mother.
I've sent along my last ten dollars in this card, which I hope you'll spend on my grandchildren. God knows their mother never buys them anything nice. They look so thin in their pictures, poor babies.
Thank you so much for the birthday flowers, dear boy. I put them in the freezer so they'll stay fresh for my grave. Which reminds me -- we buried Grandma last week. I know she died years ago, but I got to yearning for a good funeral so Aunt Berta and I dug her up and had the services all over again.
I would have invited you, but I know that woman you live with would have never let you come. I bet she's never even watched that videotape of my hemorrhoid surgery, has she?
Well son, it's time for me to crawl off to bed now. I lost my cane beating off muggers last week, but don't you worry about me.
I'm also getting used to the cold since they turned my heat off and am grateful because the frost on my bed numbs the constant pain.
Now don't you even think about sending any more money, because I know you need it for those expensive family vacations you take every year. Give my love to my darling Grandbabies and my regards to whatever-her-name-is --the one with the black roots in her hair who stole you screaming from my bosom.
Merry Christmas,
Love, Mom
Would you think this was funny coming from your mom-in-law?
Hi!
Wow!... I am reminded of that commercial where this woman and her Mother-in-law were in the bathroom discussing the uses of an anti-bacterial spray, and the the woman dryly asks her MIL if she uses the spray, will it make the MIL forget where they live.
Your MIL is a classic dysfunctional "out-law" just bursting with ugly hostility, and it's a blessing for your family that she's too far away to access your innocent babies. I would write back a sweetly gracious letter in this format...
Greetings you parasitic old bat...Ha,ha! You really had me going with that going to the grave business, as I was hoping you'd be dead by now, but no such luck. I am sorry to see that you are still possessed by that unhealthy delusion of believing your son is your husband or father, and in the grips of this fantasy, you cannot recall that having a family in any day and age is a very expensive, labor intensive, 'round-the-clock job. That said, thanks for telling us you don't need any more money, as the costs of school and doctor visits for our babies does not leave us enough to take on adult dependents, no matter how legitimately insane, decrepit, infantile, and malignant they may be. I'm glad for the timely arrival of your letter, as the holiday season lead me to a momentary lapse of judgment, and silly me, I thought I should let you have visitation with your grand babies. I'm glad you reminded me that this would be an exponentially stupid idea, as you cannot even be civil in your sense of humor. I will keep your letter as a constant reminder of why I should always keep many miles between you and us.
Sincerely, Black Roots-What's-Her-Name.
That your husband is with you so many miles away from his awful mother actually speaks well of his maturity and sensible paternal instincts. Bless you all. Don't let her get to you.
Reply:Wait, if its not real, how do you know she thought of sending that to you?
Reply:amm some of it is funny.. but it really depends if she likes you or not from before? did she think the wedding was a good idea ? does she actualy live in these condition ? if they are true then you might have a rpoblem and i think you should try and solve it fast...

Reply:Dala - was that a Christmas card that your mom-in-law bought and sent to your husband? Or one of those gag Christmas letters?
Is your mom-in-law destitute? Starving? Did she dig up her mother's remains? Did she send you a videotape of her hemorrhoid surgery? NO?!?
Then, I thinks it's hilarious!
Please know, how you hear what someone says is determined by your interpretations, and your interpretations flow from your past. This is very important to know, especially if you find that you overreact to what others say or habitually get your feelings hurt. . . . Remember, what someone said is not necessarily what you heard, and what you heard is not necessarily what they meant.
Reply:is that a card or a letter she personally wrote ?? either way is prtty hurtful and rude ... thr are many more funny cards available ... this is ridiculous ... do not confront her .. try speaking politely to her ... if she says its was just a joke then laugh it off and tell her u thot so n the go out buy an even more meaner card and send it to her ... well if she can play a joke so can u right ???
Reply:you've met my mil??
Reply:I think its kind of funny, it either means that she really does like you and feels comfortable joking with you about that sort of thing, or she really dislikes you. However, if she disliked and resented you that much, you would definitely know by now. So, she probably just feels that comfortable with you.
Reply:First off, "it is funny"! :) Don't take it personnel, I doubt if she is that creative. She probably heard or seen it somewhere and thought she play a joke on you and her son. (Thinking you have a great sense of humor and would enjoy this laugh.) If she has never done something like this in all the years you have been married to her son, then its one of two things, . . . she has lost her mind and then is not responsible for her actions, or she has a dry sense of humor, and probably waiting for you to call her." LYAO"! I would never take anything like that serious. In fact, later on in life I may send it to one of my sons and see what kind of reaction I would get. Its too funny!!! :)
Reply:That B*%%26amp;$! I'd be hurt too...but dont worry about it, as long as u know that u r a great wife and mother thats all that matters...u kno screw her and her complaints u dont have to live with her nor do you have to please her. Clearly u r doing something right if ur husband is happy! Hope u feel better!
Reply:well, at least she is being honest, so now you know what your up against.
it is pretty funny though. you could respond to each statement.
Dear Mom.
It is almost always wonderfull to hear from you. but please dear you must be eating and breathing at least a little how else could you continue to live?
Thank you sooo much for the cash. I hurried right to the grocery and bought lots of doughnuts for the little ones, we can fatten them up to be just like their dearest grandma.
Aunt Berta was a very good person, Wasnt she ? Seems such a shame to lose the best first dosent it ?
How are your hemmroids by the way ? Being constipated all the time must be a horrible strain. They make laxitives especially for very old people like you. and suppositories and enemas. You might even by now be considering hiring a nurse to help you a couple times a week. Please Mom you really must take better care of yourself.
Oh mom, Im so sorry that you got mugged, well one good thing if you were someone who was really pretty you might have been raped as well. So I am happy all you lost was your cane. Please be carefull.
Frost on your bed. I hope thats not a reflection of your sex life Ha Ha. No really, if it numbs the pain, how much can you really complain ? (hey that rhymed)
Oh and about the money Ive been sending. We are going to Hawaii for two months starting next week. I dont have the address handy but maybe we can send you a card.
Whats-her-name says hello to you too (bi***)
Bye for now
Reply:If the situation is not real why would you make this up?
Reply:what does your husband say about this. he knows her best and can tell you if she is joking or not. i would just ask her.
Reply:WOW...NO, this is definitely not funny. In-laws can be a major pain is the a55
Reply:you are the mother in law aren't you? *smirk* if you aren't why would you jump to conclusions like that.
Reply:Where is your Husband during all of this....lost in space. Get over it, She just don't like you. Have your Husband talk to her, maybe he can be a go between.
you are troubled.... I had a Mother-in-law, pure evil. I ignored her every move and still do. Try it, it may help.
If not, do as you said, Confront her and tell her off nd...Stay away.
Reply:she was prob just joking don't take it to heart she prob did not no that it upset u tell her how u feel and she would prob b upset 2 think that her joke upset u and then realise that she took it a little 2 far
Reply:if it's not a real situation, how do you know she's thinking of sending something like that to you? I'm a little confused.
Reply:I'm guessing that your mother-in-law really LOVES YOU, or she wouldn't have sent this to you and your husband ... and it's HILARIOUS! I don't think that you should 'feel hurt' but you should call her and compliment her on her exqusite sense of humor.
Reply:lol You're cracking me up! It wasn't real, right? If it was...well, just forget about her.
Reply:i dont think i would like it eather.one day when you are talking to her tell her to kiss your *** and then say i was kidding just to see how she likes it and dont for get to send her a coppy of all the answer you got fromyahoo answers
Reply:no that's very ignorant of her to say about u knowing that you do anything and everything for ur children and say u wouldn't let her son go see her when u know it would mean everything to him to go see his mother and why would u stop him from doing that that's just stupid. i guess she was mad because u took her baby from her and she has nobody else there for her
Reply:if the situation isn't real..
are you sure mom is the problem?
Reply:This is very funny.
Im ROTFLOL!
I HAVE to tell somebody about that!
Reply:well... considering who my mother in law is going to be... i'd laugh hysterically. it's most likely a joke, and she's feeding off of your insecurities. i wouldn't worry too much, or if you're really that upset about it, maybe talk to her? or your husband?
idk, i would think of it as a joke. but you never know.
Reply:o-o
that lady has some serious issues to even think about that. don't listen to a thing she says.
Reply:shut up! you did not really recieve that! If you did thats rediculous and your man needs to tell her that jokes like that are totally innappropriate! I would imagine that something like that always comes from truth on some level.
Reply:Too funny. the ultimate guilt trip. Check out my website to book travel and earn extra cash http://www.debbiestravelstore.com/
Reply:Either she has a strange sense of humour and is insensitive at best and you could ignore it OR send her a letter back saying what a lovely letter you received from her and will spread the joy of the contents with your friends and family.
If my Mother in law sent me something like this to be nasty, I would never bother with her again. I have/had a nasty grandmother, 5 years ago when she threw her usual nasty comments at me. I got up and walked out of the family dinner and have never bothered with her again. Despite her letters and other family members expecting me to 'suck it up'. I have stood my ground. It is best to keep poison/nasty people out of your life. She will loose in the long run and its all her own doing.
Earlier this year I read a book by Dr Laura in which she touched upon nasty people, she questions why would you expose yourself or your children to someone like that. You wouldn't put up with bad behaviour from a stranger, why would you put up with it from someone who is suppose to be family.
I have to wonder what your husband has to say about it and did she include the $10.
If will hurt for a bit, but remember in a few days you will be back to your happy self.
It will only bug you for as long as you let it and maybe unfortunately that is what she wanted.

You can never know, can i get some girls' opinions on these earings or what to give for my girl's birthday?
Well I only checked kay's because thats the only jewelry store i know. I want to get these emerald earings (birthstone) for her but i'm not sure if she would like them, or if there could be better. Could you let me know if you know a nice jewelry site to go to and which earings you would like if these aren't too good? I'm going simple to be safe. Heres the website:
http://www.kay.com/webapp/wcs/stores/ser...
Thank you everyone for your help =) please be honest too and if theres any other ideas let me know, at first i was thinking about sending her flowers but this looked like a nicer idea. (Its a long distance relationship too if that changes anything for someone)
You can never know, can i get some girls' opinions on these earings or what to give for my girl's birthday?
I think those are really pretty. They'll look even better when she flips open the box and sees the beautiful earrings you got her. And I would suggest getting her some of her favorite flowers. Give her the flowers first, oh, and a card, and once she's all teary from the wonderful words you wrote to her in the card, pop out the earrings. But DO NOT open the box for her. She might think you're proposing. Let her open the box...Supposing the earrings come in a box. They should, though, since they're from Kay's. Anyway, all that to say, I like them.
Reply:they are ok
Reply:I think they look cute but if she's young like 20s and up go for something that hangs down or a necklace is always available :)
Reply:This is a really nice idea! The earrings are good quality. However, I am not 100% sure about the color. Can you picture her wearing green earrings? I know it's her birthstone. But some people aren't fond of their birthstone color. If she has other jewelery this color, then go for it! Otherwise, maybe go for a color that is more popular and that she can wear more often.
Reply:wow those are really pretty.
my birthstone is emerald as well, and these are gorgeous. studs are the simplist but cutest earrings; in my opinion.
good job.. =]
Reply:Those are gorgeous! I would buy the extra care insurance and wrap them up! I'm sure she'll love them.

I have been split up from my fiancee 0f 3 yrs. we now live in different places . it is her birthday this sun.?
Shall i send her a card. and flowers. i emailed her on the 30th but she does nor reply as of yet. i wish to give it another go but she says that she loves me but does not want to get back again. we have been apart now for a month i last heard from her nearly 2 wk ago saying that she just wants to be friends
I have been split up from my fiancee 0f 3 yrs. we now live in different places . it is her birthday this sun.?
Its going to be hard, but its time to let her go..
Reply:no send her a video of you banging her best friend or some other hot babe, and then move on because obviously she has
Reply:you could try sending the birthday pressies as a last attempt to win her back, but if she still doesnt want to know you should try to move on! time away may let her see how much she misses you!
Reply:You could send her a card, but I would not get my hopes up.
Reply:send a card only...leave it at that, if she is meant to return she will, give her some space, let her miss you and wonder what you are doing
Reply:Let her go!!!!! Stop hangin' on.......its only hurting you.
Reply:Keep on.. keep on..
Reply:no!
move on
there is a better girl 4ya
Reply:no, leave her alone before you make her mad.
Reply:now ive been here and it doesnt feel great does it?
what you should do is give her what she wants. and if thats space and not you getting back with her, so be it (sorry that wont make you feel better i know)
if you do choose to send her a card and flowers you could push her away more.
instead send her a card which isnt romantic and wish her a happy birthday. like you would any other friend. dont use it as an excuse to get her back or try to. not only will you eventually lose her by driving her away you may also lose her as a friend too.
as i said, a nice card saying happy birthday and nothing more. dont fill it with kisses or declarations of love. just be a friend and if anything does happen in the future then so be it.
Reply:If she has gone to such great lengths to let on that she just wants to be friends, maybe she JUST WANTS TO BE FRIENDS.
I wouldn't push it. She might be even more turned off by the desperation vibe that you're giving. Just give her some time, and let her make the next move. You've done all you can, so give her a chance to just think about it.
Reply:I think you should! because even you've been splited up dosen't mean you're enemies! so give it a go!
Reply:just send a birthday card and/or flowers if you want. You can still show her that you care.
Reply:She's found someone else.....please move on!
You'll end up looking like an idiot if you don't....besides -you've left the window open - she'll come to YOU if she changes her mind...
BUT that could just mean she "tried someone else out" and then came back to YOU - do you really want that?
Reply:If you want to give her something that she really wants, give her a break.
Reply:You dont need to send her flowers or cards, that is just going to make it look like you're too desperate to get her. You should call her and wish her happy birthday. If she gives u a sign that she is still interested then you can just see her and give her flowers.
Reply:If it was me, I would find another person to send some flowers to. Send her a card, say happy B-day, and move on. Clearly, her intent is to move forward, and without you. That's the brutal truth of it. She apparently doesn't want to come right out and say so...but if she "loves" you, then there is no reason she wouldn't want to be with you (unless you did something awful, in which case, you need to leave her alone anyway).
Just friends is another way of saying "I don't love you". So, move on. It's hard...but think of it this way; if she loves you, for real, she'll eventually get ahold of you. If not, which appears to be the case, then you won't be wasting your precious time persuing someone who isn't interested.
Good luck to you.
Reply:Leave it alone. While your heart might be in it, one month isn't long at all. I say give it some more time. If it is meant to be then it will happen but otherwise don't send her anything else.
Reply:It's time to move on bro...
Reply:If its her birthday show you care, send a card %26amp; flowers.
If she wants to be friends, you may have to accept that. She propaly does love you deep down, just doesnt want to show it.
As long as you stay as friends i wouldnt ask for any more. Keep in touch, and maybe in a few months she could be all yours again
Reply:it's nothing wrong with sending a card.
Reply:do whatever, move on if you have to there is so many people out there, you just have to know how to find them.
If she's not interested then move on!
I'd get her a card and maybe a gift, since your friends, you two will always have feeling for each other but you might not be together.
So if your good with women then move on.
Reply:Don't spend your money on her. You will only be wasting your effort. If she doesn't want to try again...it will on anger her to get a gift from you.
One of my ex -bf kept sending flowers for Valentines and my birthday for years...I loved the flowers, but hated what it stood for...his not listening. I was always polite, but he just wouldn't stop. It was very frustrating for me and I'm sure for him, too.
Let her go...unless she changes her mind, but for now...let her go.
Reply:I think sending her a card and flowers would be sweet =) And in the card you should say "I will always love you, and I am happy with being just friends." Nothing too dramatic though. No roses. Maybe like daisies or something ♥♥
Reply:Then quit pushing it. If she accepts everything you give up or reply to your emails then you will think you have a chance at being with her. Just mail her a card, nothing to personal, just to say you did not forget.
Reply:she has a new man move on
Reply:sending a card is nice. if she wants to be friends, then isnt that what friends do? But make sure the card says from a friend and not like a lovey card or anything, that'll scare her away
Reply:oh MY GOD ur story is same as mine really every thing is mine but i am going through a big depression due to split up, i dont know about you we have been togeather for 7 years , 7 most beautiful year of my life i dont know what to say to you i think you should send her flowers even if she dont like but send her that will be good atleast you have peace of mind that you send her flowers , that is what i think u can contact me at ownmirpur@yahoo.com add me in ur messager and we will chat on that i will pray for you hope you come out of your depression soon
Reply:Still send the cards and flowers. Its a nice gesture, even as a friend.
However, I do think that you should start dating other people. Not necessarily move on, but explore other options. Seeing you do this will do one of two things, it'll either drive her mad with jealousy, or she will be happy for you. If you still want to be with her you want the jealousy. If she is happy for you than it's plain to see all she wants is friends, and you will have to be ok with that. Give dating a shot. It doesn't have to be serious, just enough to stir some emotions with her.
Good luck!

Reply:a bracelete and a video of u saying how much u miss her, dont forget to put her friends in it!
Reply:I guess going to see her is out of the question? If you sent her flowers don't forget to send her a card, too. I'm talking about a card that you hand picked yourself and wrote a message with your own two hands... not one generated by the flower company that sent her the flowers.
Reply:How about a digital (photo) frame? You can upload your favorite pics of eachother onto it!

Anyone know where to find exclusove gift for a one year old girl baby for her birthday?
You could name a star after her. I'm not sure what you consider expensive, but it costs around $50.00. What could be more special than that? Also, as follow up gifts in the future, they sell lockets that they engrave on it the person's name and exact location of their star. I'd say that's pretty cool.
Reply:you could get her something thats personalized like a dress or blanket something that she can keep forever.. found a great site that offers this they had tons of stuff on there for babies i would check it out

try one of those Leap Frog games
or Vtech games..
Reply:I know you said no teddy bears but this one is kinda different- you can usually get them at party stores. It's a bear that you autograph- I got one for my little girl for her 1st birthday and everyone at the party signed it for her. A big toy that mine liked at one year was the Peek N Play Eeyore- hard to find though- I had to get mine from ebay.
Good luck.

Some don't like the phrase "Merry Christmas." "So can't I just print "Happy Birthday Jesus?"
Out society is becoming bound by the fear of offending non believers. It discust me. For instance I love the color yellow, but only as paint, or in flowers. Not as a streak down a person's spine. I have heard that in some locations it is against the law to display "Merry Christmas." So with this in mind, I quess I think it puts believers in a position to just come on out display what the truth is. Do you agree? If not why?
Some don't like the phrase "Merry Christmas." "So can't I just print "Happy Birthday Jesus?"
I think if people are offended by Merry Christmas, then they'll be even more offended by Happy Birthday Jesus. I personally am not offended, but some might
Reply:If it's what you practice...it's "Merry Christmas" in my world. I'm so sick of bending over backwards for others that choose to come to this country and we have to change. Dang it! They came here, they better be prepared for it. Would they dismiss the way they celebrated a holiday just because we all come over to their country?
Reply:i like that, it sounds wonderful. i would do it .
Reply:Sure, in fact they sell Christmas cards that say that.
Whether or not someone is a believer does not change the value of the words "Merry Christmas", since Christ was born and became the savior of the sins of all men even those who reject Him. Seems to me only Jews would be offended because they don't believe Jesus is the Christ, regardless He is so:
Merry Christmas to all!
Reply:Merry X-mas is for people 7 friends. If u wanna sayHappy Bday to Jesus... go ahead and do it.. but don't say that to me.. say it to Jesus.
Reply:No I do not agree with you. At all.
First off, everyone needs to stop being offended. We live in a world that is really, really, really, diverse and you should be able to say or put up a sign saying anything you damn well please. People can really just get over it. I'm not a Christian, but you should be able to post your Merry Christmas sign 365 days a year if you want to.
Now about your question... Christianity in defenition is a relationship between YOU and GOD. Thats it. So if you believe in the Bible, WHY WOULD YOU CARE TO (quote; un-quote) "Put believers in a position to just come on out and display the truth." its not a popularity contest or club (although at times I know it gets confusing) If you have a relationship with your god, great. Put up a sign that says "Have a merry day or God loves you" if you want, you'll be spreading the same word... You still win.
I think thats what Jesus would say :)
Reply:honestly if somebody's offended let them be. and if they bother you, tell them to go **** themselves with a traffic cone
Reply:Considering that Christmas is actually the holiday of Yule and that Jesus wasn't born in December... what do you think? No, you can't. Because Jesus wasn't born in December.
Reply:Actually Jesus wasn't born on Christmas, even though that's symbolically what you're celebrating.
syncretism of religious holidays occurred between romans and christians after constantine's rule.
Reply:I think a very small portion of the population (with the help of the ACLU) decided to make a big stink out of an American holiday. As a result Christians and people who are just tired of the political correctness technicalities decided to fight back, good for them.
Reply:Look, it doesn't matter what or how you say it, if it angers some people, they will be angered. I am not separated from my beliefs - it's like my shadow. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A BLESS AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!!!
Reply:Merry Whatever..Happy Everything. Its all commercialized, and big business now anyway so what does it matter what its called.
Reply:Yeah do it, it's vastly more awesome. OR you could send cards saying "Rock Out on Jesus Day" with Jesus on the cover strumming an electric guitar. You should be able to celebrate your faith in any way you want in whatever words you want.
Reply:Yes I agree with you but I still write Merry Christmas whenever I get a chance. It infuriates me to think that I should be ashamed of my Savior because I might offend someone. If they want to say "HAPPY (insert your god here)" I could care less. Just don't try to stop me. I'm proud of my heritage. I make TV commercials for a living and anytime I can C/G in Merry Christmas, I do it. Clients don't mind. And I never write merry Xmas when I'm crunched for space, I at least write merry cmas cause then I know what it means. OK now I'm off my soapbox!
Reply:yes
Reply:Who cares WTF those other people think. We live in the land of free speech remember? By the way MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Reply::-) Good point. There actually is no definite date set for the birth of Jesus in the bible. But we all celebrate the birth of Jesus on the 25th of December. So just say either one, and those that can't handle hearing the words Merry Christmas are worrying about the wrong things.

Reply:Please don't think I am attacking you, I am not, I am simply stating my opinion as you have stated yours...I think from what you wrote, that it is unfortunate that you are so closed minded about this subject but your opinion is not unusual in my experience, just like we have freedom of religion here in the U.S., we have (or should have)freedom 'from' religion, and just because someone doesn't believe or act like you automatically make them 'bad' or OK to disrespect, or push off and or bulldoze your beliefs all over them... Its known as not being prejudiced and small minded (and hearted)realizing that our world, our country is made up of a rich diversity of people...and You can say or do all the Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday Jesus in your own home, with your own family and friends, and with others that share your religious beliefs but outside in the rest of the world, it is courteous and thoughtful to simply say or write Happy Holidays, I don't think anyone of any religion, or anyone with no religion would find it objectionable, and isn't the point of all this to wish someone warm regards, showing good will towards men (and women) and all rest that goes with it...forget the semantics, btw, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

I caught my g/f lying to me (& possibly cheating). It was my girlfriend's birthday (she's doing an internship
...in another country).I wanted to send her flowers but didnt know her address.I logged into her email to find it but found an email from her ex.He had written her/expressed his love for her still. I didnt think anything of it/trusted that my g/f would properly deal with it. I found the email with her address %26amp; then refreshed the page to see if my ecard had arrived in her inbox. I discovered that she had just replied to her ex. In it, she wrote back%26amp;signed it with "love, %26lt;her name%26gt;". She doesnt even sign her emails to me that way.When I confronted her about it, she tried to hide the fact that she signed the email that way.Soon after, a classmate who's doing an internship in the same city was told by one of his coworkers that he was "seeing a girl from the same school. her name was %26lt;my g/f's name%26gt;". She denies that she ever cheated on me%26amp;lovesme%26amp;wants to stay together.I can't trust her because of the lie/deceit about her email to her ex. What should I do?What can she do to gainmy trust?

Yes it does sound like she may be cheating on you, but considering the fact that you are hacking into her email account, I don't particularly think that either of you are particularly trustworthy.
Maybe you are made for each other.
Reply:Talk to her about exact how you feel and what you know. If she still doesn't tell you the truth, then theres something wrong. If you can't trust the person you're with, that's not a good sign.
Reply:Look guy you cant stop them from doing what they want to do ,so best thing for you to do is to just tell her you dont like liers or cheaters in this world and if you dont want a realationship like that beat it girl.
Reply:No F that last answer. Who cares if you checked her email, thats no excuse. If she signed it Love then her name then she is up to no good. Dont trust her, believe me, I have friends like this and they screw around on guys.

What is the best gift a man can give to his lady on her birthday, christmas, etc. ladies please help?
i think its flowers, candy, taking her out to a romantic dinner with candles and soft music, sexy lingerie, a picnic by the beach, a stuff toy, or writing a note that says how much you love her and need her. ladies, what do you like a man to get you for your special day? i would appreciate any help you can give me. thank you for your time.
What is the best gift a man can give to his lady on her birthday, christmas, etc. ladies please help?
The best thing you can do is spend lots of time and attention on her. You don't need anything expensive but something well thought out. Make her know that you are thinking about her. Spend time cuddling, give her a massage. Buy her favorite dessert and feed it to her. Have romantic music on. Dance a little. Spend time alone at home, not out in public. Watch her favorite movie. Read to her romantic poetry about how you feel about her. Spend time kissing her gently and passionately. Have some candles out. Buy her her favorite flowers...you can come up with the rest

The best gifts are not the ones purchased but the ones that actually have meaning.
Go buy a nice massage oil, some scented candles, some cozy pajamas, and some really good girly movies. If you give her a massage from head to toe and then have her put on the cozy pajamas and watch girlie movies with her, then she will have a great time and that will be worth more than anything you could have spent tons of money on.
Not to mention, it will make you look great!

What to get a friends mum who is in her 60's for her birthday?
Im only young myself but i have an older best friend who is 26 and her mum is turning into her late 60's and i have no idea what to get her? She's not your normal elderly person either shes very loud and hyper in a way and very outspoken so i wasnt thinking flowers or smellies or anything like that but something maybe funny which could make her laugh as a joke etc?
Any ideas would be great thank you in advance

Reply:Give her the biggest hug and the sloppiest kiss ever and whisper in her ears and tell her how much you appreciate her, how much you love her, how much your kids and your grandkids love her. She's 91, she doesn't need anything fancy etc. Give her a family portrait photo and frame it inside her bedroom where she can see it daily.

Reply:All she needs now at her age is to know that she is loved. You just need to get her big family picture to hang on her wall. I promise you she will be happy.
Reply:Make her something. Personal is best.
Or make up a pretty hamper of lots of little things that she likes.
Reply:I think that a nice thing to get her would be some books on tape, or some nice sweaters. My grandma liked those things for gifts. Also gift certificates to a restaurant, or store. Just an opportunity to get her out of the house would be a great gift to her.
Sorry about all the casket jokes.
Reply:Cook her a nice meal, complimented by a nice vintage wine and wish her a Happy Birthday from all at Yahoo.
Reply:Others have mentioned a scrapbook of good wishes or you may be able to put together a scrapbook of the family over the years - both would be great or indeed a photograph frame ready for that special picture of her and family members on her special day.
Another idea may be if she is in the local area of her life is to take her on a tour round to where she was born, where she went to school, where she got married, her first home of her own, etc. Then you could round it off with a special party with family and friends. She would treasure the day and it would bring back many memories for her.
Whatever you decide am sure she will appreciate your love and attention and you being there just for her. Enjoy whatever you decide upon and treasure the time you have with your Mum. God Bless you both.
Reply:If you have a family, why not a really nice Photo of you all to-gether in a lovely silver frame, with her in the centre. My old mum loved her photographs.

Or you could make her something, a pot of some kind if youare creative and good with your hands.
Please ignore those rude posters - they are retarded and very insensitive. They could be just kids.

Reply:Definately agree with the majority~~ time is more precious than anything you can buy in a store. I like the idea or a family portrait. Everyone together in one place. A nice afternoon out together or in the house, which ever she is able to do. Tell her happy birthday for me ~~~lord I hope to see 91yrs!
Reply:Congrats on living that long...that is rare these days...I would say just spend some quality time with her, maybe take her out to dinner or make a special dinner for her. How about sitting down and watching old home video's with her. It is always nice to relive the past with videos and laughing at how we all looked back in the day. Just have fun with her, and make sure you tell her what a great lady she is and how you love her.
Reply:Has you mother any pet´s at home , I would suggest a budgie , or a small bird, something to keep her company, many elderly people don´t look for much , and as you said she can afford anything she need´s . but sometime´s money dose´t buy everything %26amp; I think a small bird would be nice, %26amp; a very Happy Birthday to her when her day comes

My mother will be 91 shortly - what can i give her for a birthday present?
how about a pretty and soft lap blanket? :D peace
Reply:I don't think Cheyenne and Scary Monster know how to be sorry! Don't worry - look at all the thumbs they received! Hope your Mum has a good birthday! Report It
Reply:i think by just being with her she will know you love her words can never express how much someone is loved god bless her and hope she has many more wonderful years.p.s.ignore the sadistic remarks obviously they never had any respect for their love ones
Reply:Take her out for a meal,she'll be glad to get out the house I bet,aww that's really sweet.
Reply:Give her the biggest hug and the sloppiest kiss ever and whisper in her ears and tell her how much you appreciate her, how much you love her, how much your kids and your grandkids love her. She's 91, she doesn't need anything fancy etc. Give her a family portrait photo and frame it inside her bedroom where she can see it daily.
Reply:how about a nice dinner, spend time with her and maybe a happy B day card! its the small things that count!
Reply:Me!!
Reply:All she needs now at her age is to know that she is loved. You just need to get her big family picture to hang on her wall. I promise you she will be happy.
Reply:Make her something. Personal is best.
Or make up a pretty hamper of lots of little things that she likes.
Reply:I think that a nice thing to get her would be some books on tape, or some nice sweaters. My grandma liked those things for gifts. Also gift certificates to a restaurant, or store. Just an opportunity to get her out of the house would be a great gift to her.
Sorry about all the casket jokes.
Reply:Cook her a nice meal, complimented by a nice vintage wine and wish her a Happy Birthday from all at Yahoo.
Reply:Others have mentioned a scrapbook of good wishes or you may be able to put together a scrapbook of the family over the years - both would be great or indeed a photograph frame ready for that special picture of her and family members on her special day.
Another idea may be if she is in the local area of her life is to take her on a tour round to where she was born, where she went to school, where she got married, her first home of her own, etc. Then you could round it off with a special party with family and friends. She would treasure the day and it would bring back many memories for her.
Whatever you decide am sure she will appreciate your love and attention and you being there just for her. Enjoy whatever you decide upon and treasure the time you have with your Mum. God Bless you both.
Reply:If you have a family, why not a really nice Photo of you all to-gether in a lovely silver frame, with her in the centre. My old mum loved her photographs.
Reply:Take her out to a special place for her birthday (a place she'd love to go eat, dine out at, or whatever she wants.)
Reply:lotion body spray
Reply:if possible, take a picture of you and your family (if you have one) and your grandmother. Frame it beautifully and give it to her.
Or you could make her something, a pot of some kind if youare creative and good with your hands.
Please ignore those rude posters - they are retarded and very insensitive. They could be just kids.

My sons best friend past away 11.29.07 (Day before my sons birthday). Should we get a Mothers day present?
I am just wanting an opinion of how you may feel. I do not want to make her pain worse. I am sure she is going to visit her sons grave tomorrow because she goes every Sunday. I think the day is going to be hard enough. I don't want to make it worse but my son really wants to get her some flowers. Her son was only 11 when he passed away.
My sons best friend past away 11.29.07 (Day before my sons birthday). Should we get a Mothers day present?
Let your son get her flowers. She will understand and appreciate it, and be touched that someone remembers and cares.
Reply:I think if ur son gave them to her, it would make her day. She will probably cry and hug him, but u have to make sure ur son is aware of that just incase it happens. Tell him to give her a hug back, and to make sure he tells her how much he loved his bestfriend to. Also tell him that he should make sure to tell her he will be there for her for anything she needs. I know this is going to be hard, but giving her something for mothers day will make her remember what a good mother she was and that u will always be there for her.
Reply:I'm so sorry for her loss! I think a mother's day present could possibly not go over so well... but maybe you and your son could get (or make) a card for her. It doesn't have to be about Mother's Day, but maybe just a card to let her know you both care for her and are sharing in her pain.
Reply:Why not take you son to leave a remembrance at the gravesite. Try not to disturb the mother's time there, go before or after.
Offer on another day to relieve the mother of some stress and give her a couple of pleasant hours. Maybe take her to a movie? Dinner at your house? You know her situation better than anyone here.
Reply:Flowers are nice. I'm sure she misses her son dearly, but also his friends. My son's friend lost her sister. I gave her mother an angel coin. They had them at a gift shop. Love, Hope, Faith, Strength, Healing...Many to choose from. They come with a prayer as well. It gave her something to carry all day or put under her pillow... Just another idea.
Reply:This question really saddens me. I personally would get her something, flowers are good enough. Whatever you do, it is going to be a difficult period for her. But in the end I think she would appreciate the flowers.
Reply:If your son was really close to the son, than that would be just fine.
It doesn't particularly matter if you were close to her, but it may help.
She IS still a mother.

Reply:She'll always be a mother and the fact that your son wants to give her flowers will only make her day better, not worse. It will just be uncomfortable for you. She could never feel any worse. Sounds like your a good person and mother. Happy Mothers Day.
Reply:I think you should allow your son to get her flowers although the day will be hard for her that will mean a lot to her that he is thinking of her. That is very sweet of your son do want to do that!
Reply:I think if your son brings those flowers to her she would appreciate it. she's still a mom and you bet she's going to cry. Tell him he should give her a big hug too. It shows he's got a big heart and he thinks of her as a Mom too.
Reply:thats really sad. :( yes because she is still a mother and cares about her son, but he can't give her a card. :( you made my cry :( that is such a sad story, and that is an incrediably nice thing you are doing! :
Reply:|aww I think you should. It won't make her pain worse but make her feel better. She's still a mom. My mom died of cancer but I still like to celebrate mother's day with my dad and grandmother. It's another way for us to honor her memory.
Reply:bless your sons aching little heart. how verry thoughtfull. i am sure she will appreciate it deeply.it would make me feel like i was still acknoweleged as a mother. im saddened for his and her loss.
Reply:YES we did my mom when my brother past...we put even though you lost derek you are still a mother..I hope this day will be easy for you and you are in our thoughts
even if she lost a child she will always be a mom
Reply:I think that is a wonderful idea, bless your son for caring. It won't make her feel worse, it will make her happy to see your son and get a gift!!
Reply:If that was her only son, I think it would be inappropriate to give her something for mothers day. It seems a little crude to me.
Reply:What a nice gesture. Even though it is painful for her...she will be happy that someone actually remembered that she is and always be a Mother.
Reply:I cant imagine what she is going through. But flowers i think would help. We have all lost someone close.Im sure you'll do your best.
Reply:I think that's a great idea! Even though tomorrow will be a tough day for her, i'm sure she would appreciate the flowers
Reply:omg that's awful give her some flowers and a great big hug and tell her that she will get to meet him again one day

When I was employed (rather than owning my own business) I saw only things like a large chocolate chip cookie and a cake with something nicely written on it. Sure you could have some cheerleader come and sing a song for him, but wouldn't it be better if you all just got together to surprise him with a cake in the coffee room? You all can all pitch in and buy him something inscribed for his desk, or a (nicely worded) trophy (as being the best boss, the best bowler, or something reasonable).

I've been volunteered to make balloon animals for a kid's birthday party, but need a "setlist." ...
I've been making ballon art for years, but I've never done it for a crowd and much less for a bunch of rowdy ten year olds. So I'm looking for suggestions about what kind of balloon sculptures I should make that don't take so long to put together. Nothing complex because I don't want to feel pressured by trying to do it fast and I don't want the kid to get bored while I'm doing it. So far I know I want to make simple 3 balloon flowers, 2 balloon hats, 1 balloon sword, 2 balloon bumblebees, 1 balloon teddy bears, maybe a 4 balloon frog hat, and a 1 balloon heart. So any suggestions as to what I should add to my list? Preferably stuff that I can make that won't require more than 3 balloons.
Oh, and for the professionals out there: What do you talk about with the kids while you make them their balloon sculpture? I don't want to just stand there making something without talking to them; that's akward. I want some interaction, but I don't know what to say to them. Any tips?
Thank you!

Do you have a way of sending her a video of yourself? I am really dumb when it comes to stuff like that but I think someone could take one of you with a digital camera and you could send it to her over the computer. I think that would touch her heart to actually get to "see" you. You could just wish her a happy birthday and tell her how much you love her and miss her. I would like that more than any material gift.
Reply:Yes, get out of places you shouldn't be destroying other peoples lives in their own countries or their famlies in the first place, and get back home where you do belong. There's no substitute for the real thing.You were wrong to leave love for war, needless war, in the first place, so correct your mistake any way you can, lie to the army, heck they sure lied to you.
Reply:Call her local radio station and have them call her for you to say Happy B-day and to tell her you miss her and love her very much and to request for them to play yall's song. I listen to the radio a couple of months ago and a guy did this for his wife and it brought tears to my eyes. It was so sweet.
Reply:You can do everything even inside yur home.. you can cook your specialty or special menu for her or you can afford and make a candle light to be more romantic. Or make a bday card that is personalized.
Reply:Send her lots of roses , balloons, and teddy bears to her work, and also see if there is any way of making a live video for her to see telling her happy birthday and how much you love her.. That will melt her heart.
Reply:Creative is the key. I know that while my husband was in Iraq, I kept trying to come up with good, creative ideas for him.
Send her a "coupon book" of "gifts" she can redeem when you get back. Like maybe a back massage, a romantic dinner, stuff like that. It will give her stuff to look forward to. You can also include stuff like coupons for a day where she gets to just relax and you take care of all the errands and chores.
Go www.mydavinci.com. You can have a picture made that looks like something the artist Andy Warhol would have done, but it will have a picture you send in. You could submit a wedding picture. It's romantic and definietly unique.
Good luck.

I am trying to do something romantic for my wife for her birthday but i am deployed to kuwait. any suggestions
Do you have a way of sending her a video of yourself? I am really dumb when it comes to stuff like that but I think someone could take one of you with a digital camera and you could send it to her over the computer. I think that would touch her heart to actually get to "see" you. You could just wish her a happy birthday and tell her how much you love her and miss her. I would like that more than any material gift.
Reply:Yes, get out of places you shouldn't be destroying other peoples lives in their own countries or their famlies in the first place, and get back home where you do belong. There's no substitute for the real thing.You were wrong to leave love for war, needless war, in the first place, so correct your mistake any way you can, lie to the army, heck they sure lied to you.
