It is flush against the house in a zero lot line neighborhood. It is below the brick (almost up to the part where the concrete and brick meet, but not that high). I assume this is the foundation and was told it would be O.K., but i do not want it to seep through and flood her home. Will rain water that is in the bed (if the bed is soaked and there really isn't a lot of drainage) be able to seep into her home/walls?
I put a small flower bed against my neighbors house and my yard is sloped. Will it flood?
The addition of the flower bed, in my opinion, should not bring any more water than was there previously, unless it was all concrete before, and I doubt it would bring enough to cause flooding. Depending on the construction materials and the depth of the soil, if you have added this, there could be a bit of humidity. But that much added soil would also bring an element of insulation. You could have lined the bed with plastic and left drainage holes on the outer edges. Just my opinion and I prefer a flower bed to concrete any day. :-)

Will standing water ruin my cement?
We made a garden and pathway where one side of the garden is a pathway and the other side is crubing - they hold the dirt in, and water. The landscaper never put in any drainage, and the water just sits there sometimes forever. The cement has started coming up - like sandpaperish almost - slowly deteriorating, like little sand pieces flaking off. So it starting to look bad. It's been in for just over a year now, and there is a line of corrosion around the planter on the cement side. Was this bad concrete to start with? Or is the fact that there is no drainage causing this to happen? See, I thought that concrete would last forever, at least longer that a year! As for paying the guy - who knew that there was supposed to be flowers in there, should he have put drainage there? Also, I dug that area down, and put newspaper and cardboard over it, some gypsum, and then layed down the fresh planting soil and flowers. What's your conclussion on the problem? Thanks so much!

The first thing you need to do is add some drainage because over time the water will eventually seep into your foundation if it is next to the house and you will have a wet basement it will also cause rot to the siding and eventually the framework there soil touching the siding will invite wood destroying insects like termites into your house as well. The "flaking of the concrete is caused by a process called "spalling" when the water seeps into the concrete and then freezes this causes the concrete to flake off or spall. Add the drainage and you will solve your problem.
Reply:Sounds like bad concrete to start with. Water can ruin concrete, but it takes time. I have a small pond made of nothing but concrete. No sealers or anything on it. I only drain it in winter, water soaking into your concrete then freezing will cause some damage. I got no problems with it. Your best bet would be to add drainage. As for the guy you paid, he should have put drainage. anytime you build something that wont let water move, you should add some type of drainage. Many people dont though, some just try taking short cuts, some just dont know.

Does anyone know if there was a rug that went with the Pottery Barn Kids Lavender Flower Patch bedding set?
The set is discontinued and I've searched online. I'm not even sure a rug existed with this line, but if someone knows for sure that would be great. Or if you have this set, what rug did you use? Thanks.
Does anyone know if there was a rug that went with the Pottery Barn Kids Lavender Flower Patch bedding set?
I don't think a rug came with this set. There are some nice lavender rugs on the Pottery Barn Kids web site that would probably go well with this. There is a nice lavender chenille braided rug that is pretty.
Rugsusa.com also have some pretty lavender throw rugs.

An interpetation of the poem, "In The Garden" by anonymous begins with line "in the garden there strayed"
here is the complete poem:
In the garden there strayed
A beautiful maid
As afair as the flowers of the morn:
The first hours of her life
She was made a man's wife,
And was buried before she was born.
feedback please.
An interpetation of the poem, "In The Garden" by anonymous begins with line "in the garden there strayed"
Basically, the poem discusses the old tradition of marrying girls off young. A 'maid' is usually considered a 'teenager,' in modern terms. As soon as the maid in the poem was no longer a child, she was married off. In those times, that meant she became her husband's property--some people think that indicates that women where very oppressed. That's the reason for the line 'buried before she was born.' In other words, the maid had just finished her child years and had the rest of her life before her, but she was instantly 'chained-down' by her marriage, never having had the chance to blossom.

Do it yourself wedding flowers!?
Hi All,
I am getting married in June of '08. I pretty much do not like my florist and have tried to work with him several times. Soooo, I've decided to order the flowers myself and do everything myself besides the centerpieces. I have PLENTY of help lined up. My bouquet with have two different color roses in it and the bridesmaids will as well just smaller (8 roses total for bm's). The flowers outside will be 4 vases with about 20-30 roses and greenery in them and three roses on the end chair in each row with a pink bow. I am just curious if anyone has done this before? ANY advice would be awesome. If so do you have any helpful hints? Also, how early before the wedding were your flowers delivered? Any advice on storing them etc. ?? Thanks for your help :)
P.S. I have already purchased the flowers through a wholesaler so there is no turning back! They are all roses by the way so atleast I don't have alot of different flowers to work with.
Do it yourself wedding flowers!?
I did my own flowers and boutonnieres for my wedding in September. We ordered through a wholesaler (www.theflowerexchange.com) and they turned out better than I could have ever imagined. It was just my mom and I who did them. This link (http://www.theknot.com/co_profileview.ht... really helped with tips.
Good luck! I'm sure they'll turn out beautifully.
Reply:Store them in a refrigerator. Flowers need to be cold to keep fresh once cut. If you treat them gingerly they should be fine. Florist wire the heads to the stems so that if it breaks the head stays with the stem and doesn't fall off. You have taken on quite a bit using fresh flowers. I hope your help comes through. The wholesaler should be able to tell you the very latest you can have them shipped so they will be fresh and you won't have to store them long.
My husband and I are renewing our vows in our Church (we had a civil ceremony before). I am doing silks and have them all ready made, centerpieces etc. But that is the beauty of silk you can make them well in advance and storage isn't a problem. They are less expensive as well. Below is my website.
Reply:First, realize that what your taking on is going to be challenging, however, it is not impossible. If you have decided to take this on, you must have a knack for doing crafts and things, I know you can do it. It is not that difficult.
Basically, what I would DEFINITELY DO...is go to a florist and purchase enough of these flowers to do two bouquets well ahead of the date of your wedding... and do a couple of 'practice' bouquets.
This will do two things. First, it will give you some idea of the time and level of difficulty your going to face when you start to assemble the bouquets so you can multiply that by the amount of bouquets you have planned for the day of the wedding. Second, it will allow you to modify them, either to make them more elaborate or more simplified to suite your tastes. The information that the prep will give you will prove to be invaluable when you start counting down to the last days before your wedding.
Now, as far as the flower delivery time goes, the closer you can make it to the day of the wedding the better. With roses, you can keep them refrigerated and get them in bud form about three days before the wedding, which should allow plenty of time for assembly.
Make sure you have plenty of floral tape, vases for the bouquets, and all the stuff to actually 'assemble' them. Don't forget the flowers for the mother of the bride and the mother of the groom to wear. Don't forget the booteniers for the guys as well. These things are expected. Also, some opt for flowers to put at the end of the isle on the church pews, (if you are in fact getting married in a church).
To assemble your flowers into a bouquet, you can find supplies at Wal-Mart, at a craft store, or at a florist. I suggest that you go onto Craigslist.com and put out the word that you want old wedding bouquets that you can tear apart and repurpose for your bouquets. Many times you can save TONS of money by doing this. You will need to get floral tape to bind all the stems together. They do not have to be perfect, just pretty. The way you are doing this will be a HUGE money saver. AND... it will have the added benefit of your KNOWING that your florist will not be late, and that the flowers will be JUST the way you want them to be. Have fun with it. It is afterall, YOUR day.
HERE IS A WEBSITE...that depicts 8 basic types of floral arrangements. It tells you what to use to achieve the looks you desire using foam or floral tape to bind the arrangement together. If you want more websites, just go to your toolbars search engine and type in the words 'How to floral arrangements'.... tons of sites will come up. (It is how I found this one.)

Congratulations on getting married, I wish you much joy and happiness in the future.... and GOOD for YOU for taking matters into your own hands... Literally. I love that you have that 'Can Do' attitude!!!
Reply:I haven't done it yet, but I am doing it, so I can't help you much there.
All I can say is practice, practice, practice. When roses are on sale, pick them up at the grocery store and make a bouquet. It's not as easy as it looks, but it's not terribly difficult. Practice wrapping the stems with ribbon (I assume that's what you are doing)...this is not a trivial task.
Simplify your designs as much as possible. You don't want a whole bunch of stress on your rehearsal day and wedding day!!!
Reply:Hi. I think I answered your other question, but you must have changed it with this one.
YES...I have done this...but not bouquets. Bouquets will take a lot of work. Look online...there are step by step directions. Practice with some roses beforehand.
If you are having a Saturday wedding, have your flowers delivered on Thursday. It's a LOT of work. You will need to unpackage them....cut the stems...put them in buckets of water with rose food.
They will need to be in a COOL/COLD place. Our wedding was in the summer and I have central air...so it was no problem! You will get instructions that come with the flowers. You CANNOT put them in regular refrigerators. Only commercially grade refrigerators.
The flowers will not look that good at first...don't freak out! You will need to do everything the DAY before...and then they may still not look that good. Keep them in water overnight...and then the morning of the wedding...you will need to have someone wrap the stems with floral tape and then silk ribbon or whatever you are using to "hold" the bouquets!
Good luck!

It is cheap to do and will give you a better idea of what you need to do.
And remember simple is better. not only will it look more effective but it will be easier and less stressfull. I am doing my flowers, simple gerberas tied together with a ribbon. Sounds boring but it looks really effective.

LADIES - I need advice on flowers?
Here's the situation:
I know this girl. We have gone out for "friends" coffee a couple times. We get along well but we aren't "dating" yet. I'm pretty sure she likes me and its more than obvious I like her.
She's going in for surgery on Friday (nothing life threatening) and will be out of commission for about a week. At the same time, I'm going out of town so its not like I'll be around during all this.
I want to send her "get well" flowers. They should be the type that will convey the basic message but also not cross too many lines...but I also plan on attaching a note mentioning our going out on a real date after she recovers and I get back.
Here are my questions:
1.) What kind of flowers say this best?
2.) When should I send them? Before the surgery or after?
3.) Does including the offer of the date with the flowers seem right or should I call/e-mail while she's recovering?
Thanks in advance
LADIES - I need advice on flowers?
1) Orchids. Roses are common these days. Everybody gets roses. They smell beautiful, they look beautiful, but orchids are rare and elegant, like she is.
2) Send them after the surgery. She'll have too much on her mind before the surgery and it'd be nice to look at them while she's recovering.
3) No. Sending her flowers is more than enough in recovery. She's going to be worried about how the surgery went, how soon she'll be able to go home and see her family or whatever. Just sending the flowers will send the message that you have her best concerns at heart (not that you're trying to get into her pants via pity.)
4) Don't call her while she's recovering to ask her out. Just ask her if she liked the flowers, how she's feeling, when she thinks she'll go home, what the doctors think, etc. when you get back is the best time to ask her out again. When she looks well enough that she might feel up to it.
Best of luck! You're really sweet.
Reply:Definitely roses. Not red--they mean love and not yellow--they mean friendship and you want more. Pink is perfect although I'm not sure of the meaning of giving pink roses. You should give them to her before surgery because she will be nervous and they will make her smile and you will score points because she will be emotional and think that it is sweet that you were thinking of her.
Do not ask her on a date she has enough on her mind. Wait until you return and you visit her while she is recuperating. You can tell her that you were thinking about her and that you are so glad she is doing well... And then you ask her on a date.
Reply:ok you should probably send white lilys they r cheerful yet romantic.I for one would love that.Roses r to much love..lol After the surgery u dont want her to stress out before the surgery.I think its a good idea to send it with the flowers or after she gets out of the hospitol!!!
Reply:You should send a mixed bouquet of flowers, not too many carnations, but a mixture of exotic type flowers. Whatever you do don't send a cheap bouquet, it's better not to send it at all if it looks cheap. Now there is nothing wrong with a cheap bouquet of flowers, but those should be handed personally to the woman. Send them the day of the surgery and call her several days later. When you talk to her tell her you didn't want to call too soon because you wanted to give her a chance to rest. As far as the note I think it is nice to offer a date with the flowers, I think she will really like that.
Reply:1) Send her the kind of Flowers she likes
2) Send them BEFORE she goes into surgery, so she can be thinking about you during it.
3) I think including that little message in the flowers in sooo cute and romantic. I think she'll love it. I would!
Reply:I agree with getrd2go.
Reply:I would send the flowers before the surgedry. You stay pretty groggy and out of it for a few days aftedr plus thed pain meds can make a person forgetful. What ever her favorite flowers are will say it best and you can put the invite on the card but you should also call and ask. The card and email are too impersonal.
Reply:I would take her Daisy's after the surgery...and wait until she is home to ask her on a date.
You could bring her dinner the night she returns from the hospital and tell her when she's feeling better you would like to take her out for a "REAL DINNER".
This way...you are keeping things friendly, and showing your interest in her without coming on too strong.
Good Luck.
Reply:1. Pink carnations or whichever color or lilies.
2. Deffinitily send them after the surgery so when she wakes up and feels groggy shell at least feel happy that she has flowers from you.
3. You could offer a date on the card when you give her the flowers but its also great to call. I dont know so much about emailing, I know I wouldnt like to be asked out on a date through a computer.
Take Care, and best wishes.

Reply:1. explain your situation to the florist, they have heard it all and know the right flowers.
2. send them before the surgery. that way she knows that someone is thinking about her and will have something nice to think about before the operation.
3. ask her out later. the flowers should only be about the surgery. call her to ask her once she's out of the hospital.
Reply:Get a bouquet of mix flowers. I would avoid roses just because they send a certain message. I would send them before the surgery so she knows you are thinking about her. I personally would include the offer of the date with the flowers. Gives her something to look forward to.
Reply:Go with a get well mix, send them before she feels cruddy, and let her know you care and would like to see her when she gets better, also, ask if there is anything you can do for her while she is recovering.

Reply:A nice bouquet of mixed spring flowers or bouquet of different color carnations would be nice. Make it as big as you can afford t pay. Send them before the surgery and on the note say something to the effect that everything will be fine (even if its not life threatening, i bet she is still scared of going under the knife). Do not ask her out then. Call her after her surgery -same day or the day after, and ask her how she feels. Then snick into the conversation that since she was so brave during the surgery you would like to reward her and take her out to dinner.
Reply:I say send daises after the surgery. if she is going to be staying in the hospital for a few days have them sent to her room. I think it would be a special little touch to put your date proposal on the card of the flowers. she will love it!

Reply:1.) My favorite flowers are daisies but not all girls like them so I would suggest a bouquet of a mixed arrangement with carnations, daisies and lillies. Roses can be in the mix, but make sure there are no red. Possibly Pink/Purple and white.
2.) Send them after the surgery
3.) I think that the date offer with the flowers would be a good idea. It should put a bigger smile on her face. Besides she could always save one of the flowers with the card as a reminder of how you first asked her out on a real date.
I know this girl. We have gone out for "friends" coffee a couple times. We get along well but we aren't "dating" yet. I'm pretty sure she likes me and its more than obvious I like her.
She's going in for surgery on Friday (nothing life threatening) and will be out of commission for about a week. At the same time, I'm going out of town so its not like I'll be around during all this.
I want to send her "get well" flowers. They should be the type that will convey the basic message but also not cross too many lines...but I also plan on attaching a note mentioning our going out on a real date after she recovers and I get back.
Here are my questions:
1.) What kind of flowers say this best?
2.) When should I send them? Before the surgery or after?
3.) Does including the offer of the date with the flowers seem right or should I call/e-mail while she's recovering?
Thanks in advance
LADIES - I need advice on flowers?
1) Orchids. Roses are common these days. Everybody gets roses. They smell beautiful, they look beautiful, but orchids are rare and elegant, like she is.
2) Send them after the surgery. She'll have too much on her mind before the surgery and it'd be nice to look at them while she's recovering.
3) No. Sending her flowers is more than enough in recovery. She's going to be worried about how the surgery went, how soon she'll be able to go home and see her family or whatever. Just sending the flowers will send the message that you have her best concerns at heart (not that you're trying to get into her pants via pity.)
4) Don't call her while she's recovering to ask her out. Just ask her if she liked the flowers, how she's feeling, when she thinks she'll go home, what the doctors think, etc. when you get back is the best time to ask her out again. When she looks well enough that she might feel up to it.

What to do when the mother of the groom is overzealous????
no offense if this is what you are used to....I am trying to plan an elegant wedding. My fiance's mother is like brain washing him. She is making him think that he is a horrible person if he does not invite all 60 people that she wants there. The problem is we are college students and do not have the funds for this. My parents are contributing $3000 but only if we have a nice wedding because they know that is what I want. The mother of the groom would just like us to have the ceremony and reception at a church and have her make the food for all 100 plus guests and have the grandma do the flowers and stuff. His mom has had 4 wedding herself and done a wedding for her daughter without money so it was white trash style. Besides, i want to do the shopping and stuff with my mom...she has had her time to get excited with her daughter plus she has another daughter who is engaged. How do I get her to acknowledge that she is crossing the line when my fiance avoids confrontation
What to do when the mother of the groom is overzealous????
Tell her, "Thanks for your help and ideas, but I'm not going to let you do this or that." Let her know who is in control now or she will think it's alright for her now and in the future after the wedding.

Reply:Honestly, this is your fiance's mom, and if he is going to be the husband he is supposed to be, he needs to pony up and tell his mom in no uncertain terms that this wedding is about the two of you and you want it a certain way. It is perfectly fine to want to help out, but she can certainly do that by planning a nice rehearsal dinner which is usually what the groom's family plans and takes care of anyway.
Seriously, this is something he should be handling. What you need to do is talk with him. He is her son, but he is your man, and he needs to act like it.
Whatever you do, when you talk to him about your needs, do not refer to her past receptions as white trash style. This is his family afterall.
Reply:A wedding without money is white trash style????
Of course, it may have been, but it may have been lovely, too.
You do have a right to have the wedding your way. Be gracious in rejecting her plans when they don't fit in. Give her something to do within reason. Also, really talk up how much you're counting on her expertise for the rehearsal dinner.
This buttinsky woman reared the man you love. At least she evidently approves of his choice of bride, or she wouldn't be so helpful. And maybe she is worried about the amount of money spent for a wedding. Men who treat their Mothers nicely often do the same for their wives.
Good luck!
Reply:Please sit down and have a talk with your fiancee. It's you two that are getting married, and have a limited budget. Do you have friends that can help with getting the food together for the reception? Really nice? Invite who the two of you want at your wedding. Let your man know that there are certain "traditional" things that brides do with their moms, and grooms with their moms. Your man needs to stand up for you with his mom now-because if he doesn't, how will it be when the two of you are married? Maybe the two of you should elope. Or have a judge perform a civil ceremony, with only close friends and parents there. It sounds like the two of you need to have a talk and maybe then have a talk with both moms together with the two of you, to help resolve this problem. Take care.
Reply:Find a happy medium. Maybe let her do the flowers, but you pick the flowers that are in the bouquets. Let her help with punch or hors d'ouvres. It's your wedding, but it's his wedding too. Including your mother-in-law to be will pay off in the long run for many years to come (especially when there are grand kids involved)
Reply:You need to be respectful to your future MIL - after all, she raised the man you loved. The problem seems to be stemming from you and your guy not paying for the wedding totally yourselves - then you are using money as a bargaining chip, which is not fair.
Also your "white trash" comments are totally sickening, after all you are marrying into that family.... c'mon now....
Reply:Oh my goodness, This is the very reason I told my son and his bride to be, it would just be better to elope. They are both so upset with her bi-polar Mother. This couple 30 %26amp; 37 are paying for everything themselves. Her Mother wants to run the show one day and next day she's mad at them %26amp; won't talk to them. They never know where they stand.
I can understand you and your Mother wanting to do things together and that is good. If your parents are paying they just need to set some very firm rules and thats that. I would be ashamed of a daughter as mean spirited as you. Your marriage is headed for trouble when you start driving a wedge between a man and his family and putting them in a bad light. You are in fact, hurting the one you say you love. You need a big change of attitude. Yours stinks. I can hardly think your question would make your parents prowd of you.~~~
I have 2 loving daughter-in-laws and about to have another and they are as sweet and kind to me as my own 2 daughters and their husbands love them all the more for that very reason. Families are important, everybodys family.~~~
I think your intended is going to be sorry one day that he ever laid eyes on you. Sorry, I have seen what your kind have done.~~Jill
Reply:Tell him whatever she wants to buy to contribute to the wedding she can. As for all thos people. Tell her how many your parents are paying to let her invire (ie 20?) and the cost per head (lets pretend $50) tell her for $1000 bucks she can invite them all
Reply:You are not her daughter; the Bride's family is in charge of the wedding; period. Look out, Mother in Law from Hell on the horizon!!!
Reply:IT'S YOUR WEDDING! So tell her that you would prefer to do the planning yourself. Say that when you need her assistance with something than you'll ask her. Be very polite. But the bottom line is, it's your wedding and you and your fiance should make the decisions.
Reply:Hey! Unfortunately this is probably the first of many battles. Baby Boy needs to take a stand NOW...
Reply:if your are going to be married to this man you had better leard to speak your mind to all family members involved, early especially, if you let too much go on for too long it will only cause more problems. talking to the son will probably not help at all since he obviously avoids confrontation. better off taking this one directly to the source. just be calm and gentle when explaining your situation.
best of luck
Reply:He needs to be the one that talks to his mom...What you can do is not share so many details with her, keep her out of the loop. Also its your wedding, you need no invite those she wants you to invite...Just say say no...
Reply:You just called the grooms Mom white trash. I think you have more issues, other then what kind of wedding you want. I feel very sad for all concerned.
Reply:I don't normally do this Genuinely obey the rule if you have nothing nice to say say nothing.
But I think you need to check your self. Your mother in law to be offered to put herself out cook for you make your flowers to save you money! and you call her white trash?
your mom and dad are only donating 3000.00 dollars all that is gonna pay for is maybe your uppity little dress..
and to tell you the truth I seriously doubt that you should even be getting married because you only think of your self you are a terribly selfish and ungrateful person... you are not ready to put your husbands feelings before your own grow up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:Hi, I am getting married also, in July. What I did was when I got engaged, I told everyone that I would do the wedding how I wanted, and that people are free to give me money for the wedding but I choose where it goes and what I buy with it. And that people can help me, but how I want. I had seen my older sister being pulled back and forth between what other people wanted, and that wasn't going to happen to me. THIS IS YOUR WEDDING! It is supposed to be the best day of your life. You need to be firm, but gentle. Just tell them, that you have certain ideas for what you want to do and that's what you are going with. But tell them you are open to options and opinions I know you want to do things with your mom, so tell your mother in law that, but again be gentle but firm. But make sure you do something with her so she won't feel resentful and left out. Just tell her that on the wedding day you want her to enjoy herself and not have to be worrying over the food. Also people can help you do the flowers, if they do it with the flowers you want and how you want them arranged. believe me, you are going to need help to bring this perfect day. If you don't stand up for this, it'll set you up to be walked over down the road. I hope this helps. And remember, smile, relax, count to ten, what ever. Just remember to be happy, Just think you are getting married! :) I wish you happiness and hopefully some sanity LOL. Good luck. and congratulations!!!!
Reply:If you can't get you fiance to face his mother, this ma be a deep concern down the road. If you cave to her wishes now and he does not back you up, you are facing hard times in the future with your Mother-in-law. It is your wedding, you are the bride, you and your parents are flipping the bill. If your fiance does not support you know . . . rethink your situation.
Reply:I have read through the answers to your question up to this point.
Make a copy of all the answers and read them together with your husband to be. They are all good answers.
It is up to him to confront his mother. If he can't stand up to her now, he won't when you are married.
I don't agree with Jill's comments and some of the others. It's good you corrected the white trash thing. I'm sure you were just angry.
It is his duty to cleave unto you.
Your mother has the say here along with you. Stand firm in a kind way if that possible.
I feel for you. I had a mother-in-law like her but my husband stuck up for me and in turn I always treated her in a kind way.
Best Wishes to the both of you.
Reply:First - put yourself in check a little. I completely understand what you are saying - but perhaps you are little too mean about it. What you are saying is that her tastes are a little more simple and home-y that yours, and although there is nothing wrong with that - it is not what you had envisioned for your wedding .... right?
And don't play the money card. You could very well be opening yourself up to her offering to pay - then what! And, although it is very true, to say it outloud sounds petty and like you are rubbing her nose in the fact that your parents are the one's kicking in.
But you are in for a long road in your marriage if your future husband can't gently make his mom understand that although her help is greatly appreciated, you AND HE, have things well under control and have a certain way that you AND HE would like to have your wedding. He can't throw you under the bus on this. Leave your mom out of it.
However, you MUST take into consideration that this is her son's wedding. And just because this child was born with a different body part doesn't make her less interested in his happiness and his wedding. You need to honor her wishes where you can, and stand firm where you can't. Allocate the same number of "spots" for your familiy and his family beyond who you want to invite and she can prioritize and choose. If there is someone that she feels HAS to be there perhaps she can pay the extra per person fees for them.
Good luck. You have a long road ahead of you.
Reply:There's an old saying: "He who pays the piper calls the tune".
If you and your fiance and your parents are paying for the wedding then you get to choose how it goes.
If your fiance refuses to stand up to his mother you need to think seriously about what you are doing.........what other decisions in your lives will she butt in on? What about when you have kids? Will your fiance let her run all over you then too?
You need to put to your foot down here. It's your wedding. Be firm.
Good luck :-)
Reply:The both of you need to sit down with her and let her know that she is not in control.
Your man is there only to support you. If he jumps on her side, he doesn't give a fig what you think and you should leave him.
Reply:you need to get your fiancee to talk to his mother and tell her that he too really wants to have a nice wedding...as long as she thinks he doesn't care then she will continue to try and get things done her way
Reply:just make it clear to her, with or with out your blokes help that as she isn't paying for any of it, she doesn't really have a say in anything. your bloke sounds really like a mummys boy so i think you are on your own. just remember that it is your wedding not hers and do it how you want it, be it in the nude or in a mile long dress at the beach. unlike her you are probably only planning on doing this once so it is up to you and your mum to do it however is right for you. don't let her get in the way. if she continues to be a pain in the *** tell her she will be left out of the arrangemnets entirley. that should work, but mostly you want to get your bloke to get on your side and to let go of mummys apron....
Reply:Wow - this is a sticky one! Looks like you are going to need to plan behind her back otherwise she will make all your decisions for you. Be firm regarding your desires for food, flowers, invitations, etc. If fiance objects to shutting her out completely, just keep reminding him that you want a wedding to remember, not one that she will remember. Easier said than done, but firmness is the key. You seem to be a sensitive person - you will find a nice way to get the point across. Wedding shopping should be between mom and daughter (and mom-in-law , if she wasn't so pushy). Maybe that would be the way to include her . She couldn't mess that up too much!
Reply:Talk with her and come up with a level of participation for her that both of you can accept.
Don't get off on the wrong foot with her by completely excluding her.
You could also have two receptions. One can be the way you want, with fewer people. The other can include all the guests the mom wants done home style.
Reply:Tell her firmly (not rudely or shouting) that it is your wedding and since you are paying for it that you will be making all the decisions. Tell her that she is hurting both you and her son by not being supportive. Let her know that you value her input and will take any help she offers, but let her know it is only help. Let her know you need to keep the guest list down and that she can invite X number of people (20 is a good number) you will consider the rest of her list but make no promises. If you don't kick this in the butt now it will get worse. Trust me I know. You are not just marrying your fiance you are marrying his mother too.
Good Luck!!!
What to do when the mother of the groom is overzealous????
Tell her, "Thanks for your help and ideas, but I'm not going to let you do this or that." Let her know who is in control now or she will think it's alright for her now and in the future after the wedding.

You do have a right to have the wedding your way. Be gracious in rejecting her plans when they don't fit in. Give her something to do within reason. Also, really talk up how much you're counting on her expertise for the rehearsal dinner.
This buttinsky woman reared the man you love. At least she evidently approves of his choice of bride, or she wouldn't be so helpful. And maybe she is worried about the amount of money spent for a wedding. Men who treat their Mothers nicely often do the same for their wives.
Good luck!
Reply:Please sit down and have a talk with your fiancee. It's you two that are getting married, and have a limited budget. Do you have friends that can help with getting the food together for the reception? Really nice? Invite who the two of you want at your wedding. Let your man know that there are certain "traditional" things that brides do with their moms, and grooms with their moms. Your man needs to stand up for you with his mom now-because if he doesn't, how will it be when the two of you are married? Maybe the two of you should elope. Or have a judge perform a civil ceremony, with only close friends and parents there. It sounds like the two of you need to have a talk and maybe then have a talk with both moms together with the two of you, to help resolve this problem. Take care.
Reply:Find a happy medium. Maybe let her do the flowers, but you pick the flowers that are in the bouquets. Let her help with punch or hors d'ouvres. It's your wedding, but it's his wedding too. Including your mother-in-law to be will pay off in the long run for many years to come (especially when there are grand kids involved)
Reply:You need to be respectful to your future MIL - after all, she raised the man you loved. The problem seems to be stemming from you and your guy not paying for the wedding totally yourselves - then you are using money as a bargaining chip, which is not fair.
Also your "white trash" comments are totally sickening, after all you are marrying into that family.... c'mon now....
Reply:Oh my goodness, This is the very reason I told my son and his bride to be, it would just be better to elope. They are both so upset with her bi-polar Mother. This couple 30 %26amp; 37 are paying for everything themselves. Her Mother wants to run the show one day and next day she's mad at them %26amp; won't talk to them. They never know where they stand.
I can understand you and your Mother wanting to do things together and that is good. If your parents are paying they just need to set some very firm rules and thats that. I would be ashamed of a daughter as mean spirited as you. Your marriage is headed for trouble when you start driving a wedge between a man and his family and putting them in a bad light. You are in fact, hurting the one you say you love. You need a big change of attitude. Yours stinks. I can hardly think your question would make your parents prowd of you.~~~
I have 2 loving daughter-in-laws and about to have another and they are as sweet and kind to me as my own 2 daughters and their husbands love them all the more for that very reason. Families are important, everybodys family.~~~
I think your intended is going to be sorry one day that he ever laid eyes on you. Sorry, I have seen what your kind have done.~~Jill
Reply:Tell him whatever she wants to buy to contribute to the wedding she can. As for all thos people. Tell her how many your parents are paying to let her invire (ie 20?) and the cost per head (lets pretend $50) tell her for $1000 bucks she can invite them all
Reply:You are not her daughter; the Bride's family is in charge of the wedding; period. Look out, Mother in Law from Hell on the horizon!!!
Reply:IT'S YOUR WEDDING! So tell her that you would prefer to do the planning yourself. Say that when you need her assistance with something than you'll ask her. Be very polite. But the bottom line is, it's your wedding and you and your fiance should make the decisions.
Reply:Hey! Unfortunately this is probably the first of many battles. Baby Boy needs to take a stand NOW...
Reply:if your are going to be married to this man you had better leard to speak your mind to all family members involved, early especially, if you let too much go on for too long it will only cause more problems. talking to the son will probably not help at all since he obviously avoids confrontation. better off taking this one directly to the source. just be calm and gentle when explaining your situation.
best of luck
Reply:He needs to be the one that talks to his mom...What you can do is not share so many details with her, keep her out of the loop. Also its your wedding, you need no invite those she wants you to invite...Just say say no...
Reply:You just called the grooms Mom white trash. I think you have more issues, other then what kind of wedding you want. I feel very sad for all concerned.
Reply:I don't normally do this Genuinely obey the rule if you have nothing nice to say say nothing.
But I think you need to check your self. Your mother in law to be offered to put herself out cook for you make your flowers to save you money! and you call her white trash?
your mom and dad are only donating 3000.00 dollars all that is gonna pay for is maybe your uppity little dress..
and to tell you the truth I seriously doubt that you should even be getting married because you only think of your self you are a terribly selfish and ungrateful person... you are not ready to put your husbands feelings before your own grow up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:Hi, I am getting married also, in July. What I did was when I got engaged, I told everyone that I would do the wedding how I wanted, and that people are free to give me money for the wedding but I choose where it goes and what I buy with it. And that people can help me, but how I want. I had seen my older sister being pulled back and forth between what other people wanted, and that wasn't going to happen to me. THIS IS YOUR WEDDING! It is supposed to be the best day of your life. You need to be firm, but gentle. Just tell them, that you have certain ideas for what you want to do and that's what you are going with. But tell them you are open to options and opinions I know you want to do things with your mom, so tell your mother in law that, but again be gentle but firm. But make sure you do something with her so she won't feel resentful and left out. Just tell her that on the wedding day you want her to enjoy herself and not have to be worrying over the food. Also people can help you do the flowers, if they do it with the flowers you want and how you want them arranged. believe me, you are going to need help to bring this perfect day. If you don't stand up for this, it'll set you up to be walked over down the road. I hope this helps. And remember, smile, relax, count to ten, what ever. Just remember to be happy, Just think you are getting married! :) I wish you happiness and hopefully some sanity LOL. Good luck. and congratulations!!!!
Reply:If you can't get you fiance to face his mother, this ma be a deep concern down the road. If you cave to her wishes now and he does not back you up, you are facing hard times in the future with your Mother-in-law. It is your wedding, you are the bride, you and your parents are flipping the bill. If your fiance does not support you know . . . rethink your situation.
Reply:I have read through the answers to your question up to this point.
Make a copy of all the answers and read them together with your husband to be. They are all good answers.
It is up to him to confront his mother. If he can't stand up to her now, he won't when you are married.
I don't agree with Jill's comments and some of the others. It's good you corrected the white trash thing. I'm sure you were just angry.
It is his duty to cleave unto you.
Your mother has the say here along with you. Stand firm in a kind way if that possible.
I feel for you. I had a mother-in-law like her but my husband stuck up for me and in turn I always treated her in a kind way.
Best Wishes to the both of you.
Reply:First - put yourself in check a little. I completely understand what you are saying - but perhaps you are little too mean about it. What you are saying is that her tastes are a little more simple and home-y that yours, and although there is nothing wrong with that - it is not what you had envisioned for your wedding .... right?
And don't play the money card. You could very well be opening yourself up to her offering to pay - then what! And, although it is very true, to say it outloud sounds petty and like you are rubbing her nose in the fact that your parents are the one's kicking in.
But you are in for a long road in your marriage if your future husband can't gently make his mom understand that although her help is greatly appreciated, you AND HE, have things well under control and have a certain way that you AND HE would like to have your wedding. He can't throw you under the bus on this. Leave your mom out of it.
However, you MUST take into consideration that this is her son's wedding. And just because this child was born with a different body part doesn't make her less interested in his happiness and his wedding. You need to honor her wishes where you can, and stand firm where you can't. Allocate the same number of "spots" for your familiy and his family beyond who you want to invite and she can prioritize and choose. If there is someone that she feels HAS to be there perhaps she can pay the extra per person fees for them.
Good luck. You have a long road ahead of you.
Reply:There's an old saying: "He who pays the piper calls the tune".
If you and your fiance and your parents are paying for the wedding then you get to choose how it goes.
If your fiance refuses to stand up to his mother you need to think seriously about what you are doing.........what other decisions in your lives will she butt in on? What about when you have kids? Will your fiance let her run all over you then too?
You need to put to your foot down here. It's your wedding. Be firm.
Good luck :-)
Reply:The both of you need to sit down with her and let her know that she is not in control.
Your man is there only to support you. If he jumps on her side, he doesn't give a fig what you think and you should leave him.
Reply:you need to get your fiancee to talk to his mother and tell her that he too really wants to have a nice wedding...as long as she thinks he doesn't care then she will continue to try and get things done her way
Reply:just make it clear to her, with or with out your blokes help that as she isn't paying for any of it, she doesn't really have a say in anything. your bloke sounds really like a mummys boy so i think you are on your own. just remember that it is your wedding not hers and do it how you want it, be it in the nude or in a mile long dress at the beach. unlike her you are probably only planning on doing this once so it is up to you and your mum to do it however is right for you. don't let her get in the way. if she continues to be a pain in the *** tell her she will be left out of the arrangemnets entirley. that should work, but mostly you want to get your bloke to get on your side and to let go of mummys apron....
Reply:Wow - this is a sticky one! Looks like you are going to need to plan behind her back otherwise she will make all your decisions for you. Be firm regarding your desires for food, flowers, invitations, etc. If fiance objects to shutting her out completely, just keep reminding him that you want a wedding to remember, not one that she will remember. Easier said than done, but firmness is the key. You seem to be a sensitive person - you will find a nice way to get the point across. Wedding shopping should be between mom and daughter (and mom-in-law , if she wasn't so pushy). Maybe that would be the way to include her . She couldn't mess that up too much!
Reply:Talk with her and come up with a level of participation for her that both of you can accept.
Don't get off on the wrong foot with her by completely excluding her.
You could also have two receptions. One can be the way you want, with fewer people. The other can include all the guests the mom wants done home style.
Reply:Tell her firmly (not rudely or shouting) that it is your wedding and since you are paying for it that you will be making all the decisions. Tell her that she is hurting both you and her son by not being supportive. Let her know that you value her input and will take any help she offers, but let her know it is only help. Let her know you need to keep the guest list down and that she can invite X number of people (20 is a good number) you will consider the rest of her list but make no promises. If you don't kick this in the butt now it will get worse. Trust me I know. You are not just marrying your fiance you are marrying his mother too.
Good Luck!!!
What sort of parasite is this on my plant?
These are leaves off of a beautiful climbing vine that I have on my side fence. Recently the leaves are turning brown and have this flaky dark substance on the main line in the center of the leaves. Some has moved out towards the center as you can see by the photos.
I would like to know what it is, how to treat it and prevent it.
I really would rather not cut the vine back, if it can be helped, as it is in flower and also is attached to a privacy fence.

What sort of parasite is this on my plant?
Definitely scale. You can remove it by using cotton balls and Isopropyl alcohol. Moisten cotton ball and clean each leaf. Takes a while, but will kill the bug and not harm the plant.
An easier fix is to apply Disyston around the plant, scratch it into the dirt, then water it in. Disyston is a systemic insecticide and will kill a wide variety of parasites. Available at nurseries.
good luck.
Reply:I'm so sorry, but i don't know what kind of plant that is. If possible could you list your region?
Reply:It looks like scale to me. Try spraying it with White Oil. Follow the instructions. Maybe give the plant a dose of Seasol too
Reply:They definately appear to be a member of the scale family of insects. When young, they are soft bodied like aphids and move about on the plant. As they mature, they settle in one place and create a hard shell over their body. Because of this shell, most spray type of insecticides are ineffective against them. Usually the plant will need to be treated with a systemic insecticide that is taken up by the plant and ingested by the insects when they suck the plant's juice.
You should be able to take a couple of the leaves to the local county extension office for a more positive identification and advice on which insecticides are most effective in controlling them.
This service is usually tax supported (free to the residents of the county).
Reply:Looks like you have parasites called scales i think? They are the small brown spots on the bottoms of the leaves which are sucking the life from your plant causing the leaves to wilt and turn brown. I would take a leaf to a local landscape or lawn and garden shop and ask what type of insecticide you would need to rid the pests from your plant.

"Happiness, long-deferred, is deferred again." What do you think it means?
This is taken from a poem that I am reading and am trying to translate. Here's the poem...Daily the wind-flowers age, and so do I. Happiness, long-deferred, is deferred again. Of sand and ocean, the horizon line lies in the middle distance of the dream. Because our lives cannot be woven together, my fingers plait the same grassers, over and over.
"Happiness, long-deferred, is deferred again." What do you think it means?
Regret
Reply:Life is long sentence of sorrowness with the punctuation of happiness.
Reply:I thought I was finally going to be happy, but no, I continue to be unhappy.
Reply:It sounds like my life.
But it sounds like lovers whose lives never could quite get together. They always thought it would work out and never did.
Reply:It means that having waited so long for happiness, you have to wait some more. Why that is, I couldn't say. Maybe the poet is too choosy. I prefer poems that rhyme.

How can I get my neighbor to move shrubs off of the property line?
she is a horriable screw of a woman she stands out there and makes little remarks about me and my family we are white and she doesn't like white people I know this because she only get along with the black couple that live on this street which we do to and they have told me she doesn't like white people and the fact that I don't work and my husband does makes it even worst.I had made a rock garden with some flowers and such and well rocks and a couple of kneeling angels and a fountain as a memorial for a baby we lost this year and she was talking about it yesterday and said it looked stupid this draws the line with me.She has some shrubs that are one my line how do I make her get them off.
How can I get my neighbor to move shrubs off of the property line?
Both of the answers above are very good answers. But we both know what you want. You want her nice green plants to die and blow away with the wind. So here is what you do....
Buy a small bottle of Roundup. Pour 1/2 cup into a seal-able container then toss the rest. (No evidence) Take the Roundup in the container and when you know she is not there pour just one drop on each plant. You don't want to kill them right off or there will be hell to pay. Just one drop per plant every 2-3 days. Don't get sloppy and get caught or tell anyone. Remember the less your family knows the better.
Watch and be nice when slowly the plants turn a pale yellow followed by a bright yellow as to say... Aaaaaaa I am dying.
Can you do it? Or do you need to hire a complete stranger?
Good luck and remember tell no one.
Reply:This sounds more like a community relations question than a gardening question.
If the shrubs are planted on her side of the line, she is obliged to prune them back if they encroach on your property, but not to move them.
"Good fences make good neighbors" -- you would probably be better to make some barrier between you and the neighbor, rather than worry about her shrubs.
Reply:I would be super nice to her and help her in anyway, even though she may not like you it will be hard for her to be mean to you when you are to nice.You might gain a wonderful neighbor in the long run.
Reply:Why escalate things? Rise above her level. Don't stoop down to it.
Reply:Well, lets move the racial element aside, black, white, or green - same questions get the same anwers. SO.. with that said..
You have two issues..
a) Dealing with your neighbor so that you can avoid her cutting remarks and so that you minimize the provocation that cause them; and
b) How to deal with encroaching vegetation.
Ok.. I have been dealing with issues like this for a few decades and been to court as a expert witness enough to tell you that this is a battle that will get worse until you deal in a solid manner.
Her racial preference is regretable but unchangeable so you need to deal with it. My suggestion is staged as follows:
1) Get a survey.. or somehow determine EXACTLY where your property line is. Don't guess, KNOW it.
2) Construct a legal (and tall) fence about 3" INSIDE of your property - that way you own BOTH sides of the fence (if you build it ON the property line it becomes half hers - another problem waiting to happen).
3) Send her a registered letter telling her what you have done and informing her that:
a) it is YOUR fence completely on your property and it is not the property line (no need to give her a copy of the survey unless you want to). This way you have recourse if she paints it or hangs something on it or builds on to it.
b) You are not giving up the rights to any portion of your property which may be on her side of the fence.
4) In the course of construction, you are likely entitled to trim any of the plants that are on your side of the line so long as you do not kill or harm the remainder of the plant that is on her side (this is California law.. you need to check it for whatever state you reside in).
With the fence up, you can enjoy your memorial in peace and will minimize the future interactions from your neighbor.
(sorry about your child... hope this helps a bit).
Reply:If the shrubs screen you away from the bigot then the better.
However, if you really want to get rid of the shrubs then usually cities have zoning laws which prevent any planting on property lines. Usually, you have to plant a hedge or erect a fence several feet away from a property line and inside your property. Call your city and ask about zoning. If it's on your property line you may have the right to chop. Just make sure it's really on your property line before you chop.
I can sympathize. Bigots are awful to live near and it's always a shock when your friend of a different color turns on you and says the most hateful and racist things.
You can always write "MKL, Jr. hater" in grass seed on her lawn and wait. Works better than fertilizer. Use big broad letters. She'd have to dig it out in blocks.
Reply:This is a touchy situation and I shouldn't even get involved with it, however, this is a question on ethic. She has shown that she is racist towards white people and you should defuse the situation as soon as possible. leave it alone, don't talk to her and forget about the problem. The shrubs is not that a big deal. You are upset about her comment and she is winning the argument. If you stoop to her level, you will become no better than her, and you should want to be better than a racist. Just let it go and live your own life the way it makes you happy. If for some reason you cant and what to take it to another level, get some 2-4-D, which is a grass, weed, tree killer liquid and pour it on the base of the shrubs. In 3-6 days, they will be dead. If you do this, understand that you will be opening yourself up for her next move, and I don't recommend this move.I would just let it go and forget about it.

Should I get my ex gf flowers for her bday??
I still care a lot for her and her bday is coming up and was wondering if I should just keep it simple by giving her flowers and writing a little note, something along the lines of "hope you have a wonderful 18th" she LOVES flowers and I still feel strongly for her..I still have a piece of me that wants her back..I know I'm not obligated to get her anything but she keeps reminding me and she would be butt hurt if I didn't..thanks in advance for your suggestions..
Should I get my ex gf flowers for her bday??
My ex-wife got nothing but a card from me even though her birthday was only a couple of weeks after she left me and I was still in love with her.
She won't be getting a thing from me this year.
Next time she reminds you about her birthday try reminding her that you are not her bf anymore.
Reply:Well if you have a GF right now then dont but if you dont have a GF right now then maybe you should.
Reply:Don't listen to those first two girls. Since she has reminded you that her birthday is coming, obviously she wants you back. Get her the flowers, and in the note, tell her you would be happy to stop by and give her the real present she wants from you, wink wink.
Reply:No! your relationship is over! If you give her flowers sher will think your annoying and desperate! Im sorry to say when its over it is OVER!
Reply:Sounds to me like you still love her....and maybe she feels the same way....I mean she is reminding you about her Birthday...maybe a "ex" now , but who knows....you two might be married with kids one day. So YES! buy her some flowers that she loves and a nice card. Good Luck!
Reply:No, no, a thousand times, NO! Do you know what trouble you will get in there? If she is not there, she is not there. If you want her to be there, have her be there, then it is OK, otherwise, NOT.........Don't continue to be whooped. You got away from this manipulating woman, and now you want more. How dumb do you want to be? Like that post?
Reply:That and make sure you bring condums just in case
Reply:No, she is your ex. Let go and move on.
Reply:Only if you are hoping to get back with her!
Reply:you could send flowers with one of those little cards...nothing like roses, just some simple flowers like daisies. just a little card to say " happy birthday" and your name. nothing more, nothing less....
Reply:its a good idea not to write to much on the card do u think it could work betwwen u to again if so talk to her before its to late if not dont be getting you self hurt again,distance your self from her but still talk just not as much as u used to untill u are over her because she might already think u are
Reply:no leave it alone.! would you want your girlfriend/wife sending stuff to her ex? i think not!
Reply:This was marriage and divorce not gf/bf grow up.
Reply:Depends....
Was it a clean break up? Nobody cheated or screamed or anything...
Does she have a new bf? That could cause problems... You stil like her dont make her miserable
Are yall still friends?
If you had a clean break, she's boyfriendless and are still friends.... go for it. Dont buy her roses. Buy Wildflowers or a seasonal medly. And don't spend over 20 bucks, friends dont spend more than that on flowers.
Reply:IF you still have feelings for her, and IF you feel that it may be a temporary break-up, go ahead and get her flowers. She may have just needed some time on her own to reassess her priorities. IF she is still feeling strongly for you, it is likely she will melt if you get her some flowers. Obviously she wants something or she wouldn't keep hinting.
Be classy about it. Nobody wants a creepy, stalker ex. I would avoid roses, especially red ones. Your message sounds good. Avoid any "I love you" or "I miss you". Keep it straightforward, as a birthday wish. I would suggest wildflowers, or gerbera daisies in her favorite color. It shows you still care without implying anything.
Reply:yes that will be so nice
cause if I got flowers for my ex then I will say thank you and mabey get back with her
although if you have a girlfriend right now dont unless you are risky
Reply:When we are young , boyfriend and girlfriend relationships go on and off, it is the usual with our hormones taking a different form each and everyday! If you still have feelings for her, than go ahead and make her day! Send her some flowers and a card and I'm sure she'll be happy! Who knows maybe you just might get back together =]. Good Luck, hope this helped!
Reply:I would say go for it. Based on your question, it seems like you too still talk and care for one another. Make them like pink or white roses, to simbolize friendship, and see where that might take you.
Reply:id get her a card with a sweet note or something
nothing too drastic
u dont wanna freak her out
Reply:Hon, you need to let her go. It sounds like you guys ended for some reason and she still wants gifts from you (she is hinting at it atleast). Giving her a gift like flowers say "I still care for you" and if you are no longer dating, why would you lead her on like that? If she wants you back and wants gifts from you, then she needs to come crawling back to you. Don't let her control you. Find a good woman and be faithful to her- let this one go.
Reply:No. Over is over. Dont keep continuing it.
Reply:why spend the $ if she's not your g/f anymore?
Reply:I feel like flowers would be going too far for an ex. It might make her feel uncomfortable, especially if she's aware you still have feelings for her and want her back. I would opt for just a card or the note without the flowers.
Reply:its hard to tell on your situation considering we dont know how cool yall are, bad break up, etc etc. Yes girls do like flowers, and that's a good idea. Just dont get caught up with it... as far giving her something and expecting her to "want" you back. Im not saying that's your intention but you have a piece of you that wants her still... so dont lead yourself on. Dont buy her anything expensive Id also note.
Reply:if you want her back then send her flowers with a note tellin her how you feel if not the no. you can tell her happy birthday or send her a simple card but dont lead her on. good luck deciding.
Reply:So long as she doesn't have a current bf who would be upset by this if you can afford it flowers are always nice.
Actually it sounds like she is still interested in you, don't encourage false hopes, but flowers and the type note you describe should be good..
Reply:well if you two are still good friends then that will be a nice gift .
Reply:You can do whatever you want....just be careful that you aren't leading her on....or yourself....
Reply:I think you should, especially since she's hinting about it. If nothing else you'll show that you still value her friendship and care about her as a person.
Reply:Sounds like she wants to have her cake and eat it too.
Reply:if shes single still it couldnt hurt but if she has another time to move on
Should I get my ex gf flowers for her bday??
My ex-wife got nothing but a card from me even though her birthday was only a couple of weeks after she left me and I was still in love with her.
She won't be getting a thing from me this year.
Next time she reminds you about her birthday try reminding her that you are not her bf anymore.
Reply:Well if you have a GF right now then dont but if you dont have a GF right now then maybe you should.
Reply:Don't listen to those first two girls. Since she has reminded you that her birthday is coming, obviously she wants you back. Get her the flowers, and in the note, tell her you would be happy to stop by and give her the real present she wants from you, wink wink.
Reply:No! your relationship is over! If you give her flowers sher will think your annoying and desperate! Im sorry to say when its over it is OVER!
Reply:Sounds to me like you still love her....and maybe she feels the same way....I mean she is reminding you about her Birthday...maybe a "ex" now , but who knows....you two might be married with kids one day. So YES! buy her some flowers that she loves and a nice card. Good Luck!
Reply:No, no, a thousand times, NO! Do you know what trouble you will get in there? If she is not there, she is not there. If you want her to be there, have her be there, then it is OK, otherwise, NOT.........Don't continue to be whooped. You got away from this manipulating woman, and now you want more. How dumb do you want to be? Like that post?
Reply:That and make sure you bring condums just in case
Reply:No, she is your ex. Let go and move on.
Reply:Only if you are hoping to get back with her!
Reply:you could send flowers with one of those little cards...nothing like roses, just some simple flowers like daisies. just a little card to say " happy birthday" and your name. nothing more, nothing less....
Reply:its a good idea not to write to much on the card do u think it could work betwwen u to again if so talk to her before its to late if not dont be getting you self hurt again,distance your self from her but still talk just not as much as u used to untill u are over her because she might already think u are
Reply:no leave it alone.! would you want your girlfriend/wife sending stuff to her ex? i think not!
Reply:This was marriage and divorce not gf/bf grow up.
Reply:Depends....
Was it a clean break up? Nobody cheated or screamed or anything...
Does she have a new bf? That could cause problems... You stil like her dont make her miserable
Are yall still friends?
If you had a clean break, she's boyfriendless and are still friends.... go for it. Dont buy her roses. Buy Wildflowers or a seasonal medly. And don't spend over 20 bucks, friends dont spend more than that on flowers.

My BF has placed me 5th in her bridesmaid line up... I feel left out and insignificant. What shoud I do?
My best friend of 6 years is getting married soon and has placed me 5th in her bridesmaid line up, behind her sister (maid of honer) [which is perfectly alright] a cousin who she hasn't seen since she was 17, a girl she doesn't speak to anymore, another distant cousin who is 4 years younger than me. (ME) and then the flower girl.
I know its not my wedding and I know the ceremony has nothing to do with me but, Her maid of honor lives 500 miles away so I'm the one primarily helping her plan the wedding and we are very close.
Should I talk to her about the line up... Does it matter... Can I complain? I feel like some nobody who was just stuck in front of the flower girl be cause they had to put me somewhere and the flower girl is supposed to be last one in line so that's where I got put.
My BF has placed me 5th in her bridesmaid line up... I feel left out and insignificant. What shoud I do?
it sounds like the other bridesmaids are all relatives of some sort? if so she probably feels like she is "supposed to" do it that way. I know as a soon to be bride myself you feel pressure to do everything in the right way. I wouldn't worry about it. Just be happy for her and celebrate the day.
Reply:You should suck it up, smile, and try to have a nice time and make your friend's wedding nice for her.
It isn't all about you...
Reply:Just accept that you are a bridesmaid and don't worry about your placing. At weddings families have to be kept happy and she probably thinks you'll understand because you are her best friend.
Reply:When not in height order, the people in the processional are from least important to most important concluding with the star of the day, the bride. Children are the exception to this rule as they are a fertility symbol and usually kept closest to the bride. This also makes it so she is the only one to walk on the petals, which are another symbol of fertility and prosperity. You are in the most prominent of the BM positions. You are 1st among the BM's assuming that she has them enter and stand to the far sides, filling in closer and closer to where the Bride will stand.

Reply:get over it
Reply:As hard is it may be, be honored you are included. I know someone who had their family dictate who was in the bridal party. If she didn't include them, the family told her they wouldn't pay for anything. When I got married 20 years ago, my Mom wanted my sisters in the bridal party but I was able to change her mind by explaining that my sisters had been out of the house for years (I am the youngest) and I didn't know them nearly as well as the people I chose to stand up with me.
Reply:You friend has so much stress on her right now she probaby does not need another complaint.... but are you sure this is the lineup for the church? We just had a similar situation, the bride never even realized it was a big issue. And was bringing her bridesmaids into the church in a certain way to match them up with certain groomsmen. All changed now to keep feelings from being hurt. It probably was not intentional OR family is telling her what to do. The bridesmaids that do the least, complain the most. Help your friend out. Be quiet.
Reply:I think you're being rather petty. Who cares what place in line you are? She could have left you out entirely if she wanted to (though that wouldn't have been a nice thing to do.) You don't know why she chose that particular line-up... she could have received pressure or advice from her mother or other family. Just because the girl is a "distant cousin" doesn't mean that their mothers aren't very close. A wedding is after all a mostly family event, so you should be happy to have a place on her special occasion. And who says last is insignificant? Ever hear, "save the best for last"?
You know your friend cares about you, and you know that she is a lot closer to you than to her cousins.... so why worry about it?
Reply:If you want to lose your friends then tell her...It doesn't matter where you are in the line up, you are all equal...I did mine with how tall people were, the photos came out better...Just be grateful she asked...
Reply:the lineup doesn't matter as much as the fact you ARE a bridesmaid and a big part of the wedding.
if you want to feel more included offer to help, help and help some more.
maybe in her families' eyes family comes first..... and she didn't want to upset anyone. think about it she could have had all friends stand in..... and you could have been last. but all the FAMILY is there and your the only friend she picked to be in her bridal party.
talk to her if you want, but try to see if from a different perspective.
Reply:place him last on yours and wait for him to ask you why you did that because he will then ask him why he placed you 5th.
Reply:get over it! don't say anything about the lineup...that is totally petty and one of the most ridiculous things i've ever heard.
Reply:Sounds like it's mostly, if not all, of her family that is ahead of you. In some families you are pressured to put family first no matter how close you are to them. It sounds like she may be giving into family pressure than put you further in the line up. You could casually ask her how she came up with the line up. Don't get too upset and don't take it personally. Be glad that she asked you and needs your help to plan this wedding. I wouldn't ask her to bump me up or anything. That seems a little ungrateful and I'm sure she has enough stress as it is.
Reply:yea i feel ya, but really don't take it personal.planning a wedding is stressful and ppl take that line up so serious..am sure she has a good reason she's your bf then you should understand..just be there and swallow your pride right now...gl~ beautiful bridesmaid #5....
Reply:Talk to her, cause that's what best friends do. Let her know how you feel and hopefully you guys will be on good terms once again. Good luck.
Reply:Sadly - some weddings are more about politics and pleasing certain people (parents, etc).
Don't take it personally. Celebrate your friend.
Reply:As someone who has helped plan a few weddings and someone who has been in the same situation as a groomsman, I'll tell you not to look into too much. A lot of times family members will INSIST that the niece/nephew or cousing HAS to be in the wedding for one reason or another. By bringing this problem up to the bride you may cause tension on her wedding day. She might be just as unhappy as you that some of these people HAVE to be standing up at her wedding. Just be honored you're standing up at her wedding. Remember, as much as it may stink to be pushed down in order, it's still her wedding day, not yours.
Reply:it sounds like a case of "behaving in front of strangers". u're close so she must think u wouldn't mind indulging strangers. only talk to her if she hasn't asked the other people..otherwise u'll make things worse. she's obviously very dense. get somebody else to give her a hint, but don't talk to her directly.
Reply:It's not a big deal!! There's many reasons why you were placed where you were.
1) height
2) by who you were matched up with. The other BM/GM don't get along and you're the only one that would 'work' with that person.
3) she trusts you to be 'in charge' of the flower girl
4) if that's the order you're walking into the ceremony then she wants you with her the longest before walking down the aisle.
5) pressure from family to put family first
It's hard to do a bridal party line up, don't take it personally. But since you seem really upset mention it to her.
Reply:I think you have a right to voice your opinion and your feelings. I would think that your BF would appreciate you letting her know how you feel. I think if you do talk to her and she does get upset, just go along with it until the ceremony is over then leave if you want to. She what she does next. Hope you work it out. Take care.
Reply:realize that it isnt about you, its about one of the most important days for your friend.
Reply:Maybe you work best with the last groomsman (as far as height) or maybe, with the exception of the MOH, you're the shortest or tallest. It's just for a few hours. She didn't mean to offend you. Don't complain, or else you might be dropped completely. Also, what's more important, the fact that you are a bridesmaid or the order you walk down the aisle?
Reply:Oh my god!!! NO, it doesn't matter! Consider that she also is coordinating w/the Groomsmen who will stand up with you. Some do it by height. And anyway, WHO CARES?????
Reply:Try to bring it up casually to find out if the line order has any significance.
Reply:Bring a stink bomb to the wedding, let it off right as the ceremony starts...I mean, give it to someone to let it off right as the march begins...that will show the ***** who's boss!
Reply:I don't think it matters. Our line up had nothing to do with what the person meant to us but rather the pairing of the groomsman with the bridesmaid and height. I doubt she meant to slight you. I think you are probably making a lot more out of this than is actually there.
Reply:She's not thinking of you right now, and she shouldn't be. However, if I understand you correctly, you will be the last person to walk down the aisle, except the flower girl and the bride? That is the traditional place of honor, for the maid of honor. She's your best friend, help her have a nice day and don't worry about anything else.
Reply:Maybe she wants you last toleave, last one she sees walk off before she walks down the isle. wants to follow you.
and if anything happens last minute when the 4th bridesmaid is walking down, she wants you to be with her.
seriously though, get over it.
sometimes people dont like you as much as you like them?
im not saying thats the case though.
dont worry!
Reply:Are you serious? It doesn't matter, just don't sleep with her man lol no seriously stop being a baby and DO NOT SAY ANYTHING 2 HER. It's going to be o.k.
Reply:It does not matter in my opinion just be happy for her its her big day.
Reply:i would just be happy to be included. maybe it has to do with the usher u r walking with. of course her sister would be the maid of honor. if not that would be a family feud. i would just ask her in general like "It must be hard to plan the guest list, how do u decide who sits where and with whom etc, then ask how do u decide who walks with who, it's very uncomfortable to walk, sit, and eat with someone u don't know, or someone who is married." it's a tough thing to call. i would just ask don't make an issue out of it it's not worth losing a friend. have a great time enjoy!!!!!!

How should I decorate my outdoor reception site to look good in daylight AND at night?
My wedding ceremony and reception are both at the same location - the outdoor area of a bed %26amp; breakfast. My ceremony starts at 5pm with the reception to follow. I want to decorate the space to look FABULOUS both in the daylight and at night. BUT if I use candles too often, they won't be lit during the day and that will look stupid. What should I line 'the aisle' with? I don't have a huge budget and an excessive amount of flowers is just not an option for me. Help!
How should I decorate my outdoor reception site to look good in daylight AND at night?
I have seen chandeliers or long chains with glass beads hung from trees that look good both times of the day. Tiki torches look nice and at 5, you really could start burning them to keep away bugs too! Let me know your theme and I will give you more ideas!
Reply:okay so here's my suggestion for what to put down the aisle on a budget: at any place from michaels to the 99 cent store, you can find long strands of fake flowers, such as ivy or lavender. Look for the cheapest one. put a little bit of glue on the tip of each leaf/petal and sprinkle a touch of glitter. (I prefer white, but you can use silver, as well)
Now... for the day/night thing... look at your color scheme and for the day, use the pastel version of your colors... for the night, use the bright version of your colors. As for the decor (such as candles, etc.) for the daytime, use flowers (fresh or fake, depending on your budget) in light or bright colors and for the night, use candles.
I hope this helps :] I would love to help if you have any other questions.
Reply:Fill clear vases with ( food coloring) tinted water so it is visible in the day and use LED lights so as it gets darker you have your fake candle light, plus they last like 12 hours so have them turn on and dropped in the water or just use lead lights in bowls with those clear bead rocks from the dollar store. turn on the lights before the ceremony as it gets darker they will be more noticeable. The water can be any color as long as it matches your color scheme. A friend had the same problem i took tall vases and put rocks at the bottom dropped an LED light and filled the vase with water added a few drops of blue food dye.
Reply:see if you can run some twinkle lights in some of the bushes or other natural areas....they can be turned on as it becomes dark!
Reply:white table cloths,waterbowl on each table with rose petals in it and a floating candle for nighttime.white sm. light strings with flowers wraped around the cords for daytime and the lights for nighttime.For the isle use veil material to make large bows and put a flower in the middle.
Reply:oh you don't need to mess with a bunch of flowers. use something that will catch the light, like crystals, glass and such. line the aisle with tulle wrapped around mini lights. they can be turned on at night and look great. candles might not hold up unless they are in a hurricane style vase. lots of sparkly things and mini lights would be wonderful.
How should I decorate my outdoor reception site to look good in daylight AND at night?

Need to find title of three young adult books?
The story is about a young girl. She moves with her family, her dad is a preacher and while there she rides her bike through a grave yard and falls and hits her head. Then she starts seeing ghosts and along with this meets the neighbor boy who also talks to the ghosts. In the end they find out the truth while the parents think she's going crazy. And they end up planting flowers (her and the boy, as well as the ghosts) beside the house. Anyone know this book?
Girl grows up acting a certain way, then starts seeing ghosts or something along that line, of a twin sister, personality starts to change. By the end the girl realizes that her twin died and since she was always known as the bad twin, she took over the good twin's perosnality and she came to grips with who she really was.
Book about a group of kids and a carnival in the back of a boarding house or library? Some big building. Don't remember much about that book.

How do you do the tidy bedroom level on genie in the house game ?
I have trouble finding the last two flower seeds to make the bed. I think I've got to make the washing line to put the washing on it so I can get passed but I have no idea how to.
Please help...x
How do you do the tidy bedroom level on genie in the house game ?
I don't think I know what game you're talking about...
Reply:You must go into every room - some rooms multiple times. Pick up items by walking over them. Pick up everything - some items will be used to unlock other rooms. This is set up like a maze, so try to remember which door you came in in order to avoid going back into the room you just left. When you have picked up everything you need to clear the level, return to the bedroom and then go back in to see the dad.

How can I get my neighbor to move shrubs off of the property line?
she is a horriable screw of a woman she stands out there and makes little remarks about me and my family we are white and she doesn't like white people I know this because she only get along with the black couple that live on this street which we do to and they have told me she doesn't like white people and the fact that I don't work and my husband does makes it even worst.I had made a rock garden with some flowers and such and well rocks and a couple of kneeling angels and a fountain as a memorial for a baby we lost this year and she was talking about it yesterday and said it looked stupid this draws the line with me.She has some shrubs that are one my line how do I make her get them off.
How can I get my neighbor to move shrubs off of the property line?
Well, lets move the racial element aside, black, white, or green - same questions get the same anwers. SO.. with that said..
You have two issues..
a) Dealing with your neighbor so that you can avoid her cutting remarks and so that you minimize the provocation that cause them; and
b) How to deal with encroaching vegetation.
Ok.. I have been dealing with issues like this for a few decades and been to court as a expert witness enough to tell you that this is a battle that will get worse until you deal in a solid manner.
Her racial preference is regretable but unchangeable so you need to deal with it. My suggestion is staged as follows:
1) Get a survey.. or somehow determine EXACTLY where your property line is. Don't guess, KNOW it.
2) Construct a legal (and tall) fence about 3" INSIDE of your property - that way you own BOTH sides of the fence (if you build it ON the property line it becomes half hers - another problem waiting to happen).
3) Send her a registered letter telling her what you have done and informing her that:
a) it is YOUR fence completely on your property and it is not the property line (no need to give her a copy of the survey unless you want to). This way you have recourse if she paints it or hangs something on it or builds on to it.
b) You are not giving up the rights to any portion of your property which may be on her side of the fence.
4) In the course of construction, you are likely entitled to trim any of the plants that are on your side of the line so long as you do not kill or harm the remainder of the plant that is on her side (this is California law.. you need to check it for whatever state you reside in).
With the fence up, you can enjoy your memorial in peace and will minimize the future interactions from your neighbor.
(sorry about your child... hope this helps a bit).

Reply:You want to have no confrontation with her at all.
Don't even talk to her.....Ignore her.
Talking to her only encourages her.
She probably knows she is getting to you.
Really they are just bushes.....They aren't doing any harm.
But if your dead set on doing away with them.
At night or when shes not home and no ones watching put weed killer on the bushes.
Only thing is she is likely to replant.
Truly best thing to do is totally ignore her all together.
Reply:just cut off whats on your lawn...
give her the chance to move them, even write her a letter with the date on it for when she needs to have them moved by or you'll have to do it yourself.. that way when you do have to take care of it she cant say she wasnt warned and you have proof
Reply:live life a little and take a lawn mower or weed wacker, or a pair of hedge clippers, get a shovel what ever it takes and get that crap off your property line, be fearless! take back what is yours!
Reply:If her shrubs are over the property line then you have every right to go and cut down what is on your property. DO NOT cut anything that is on her property..... Good Luck :) This lady sounds like a wacko
Reply:There is nothing worse than having nasty neighbours.Try not to antagonize her despite iknow you feel you want too. The end of the day you have done nothing wrong and haven't got a problem it is her.
Simply tell her you are thinking of putting a small fence up and can she please remove the plants. That will give her the opportunity to replant them else where. If she causes a fuss or does not do anything, dig them up and put a fence there instead. Depending on your budget it does not have to be a large fence that needs concreting in you could buy a very small one from your local DIY store and just push it in the ground.
Good luck
Reply:Leave the shrubs there, consider them the lot line, and ignore her. If you ignore her she'll get bored and move on to another person to bother. You make it fun for her! Forget the white/ Black thing. She is just a crabby old lady. If you have to put up a privacy fence or even just a partition and enjoy your own yard. The rock garden and flowers and fountain sound beautiful. Don't listen to her, just live life and enjoy your own space. Don't let her or your loss make you cranky and bitter. You be the bigger person and I pray blessings for you.

Has anyone ever tried/ or sent one of those edible fruit arrangements?
These are a kind of new thing out now- they are edible(fresh, peeled and skined) fruit baskets that are cut into the shapes of little daisies and different flowers made from melons, pineapples, grapes and strawberries. They look sooooo good but do they taste good and are they really as fresh as they look...it's hard to tell from the on-line pictures...sometimes they just make them look nicer in the ads! Please let me know your opinions.
Has anyone ever tried/ or sent one of those edible fruit arrangements?
I had one sent to me at work. get all the co-workers to help you eat it because it really only lasts the day... it looked pretty bad the next day.
but the fruit was excellent!! especially the ones dipped in chocolate
Reply:i have had one %26amp; it was pretty fresh. It tasted really good too! They are really nice gifts especially in the summer!
Reply:yes I have tried one and it was great my friend recieved one for the birth of her new born baby it really helped her feel better and get her energy back.
Reply:I'm wondering how fresh they are too because the fruit is cut and sliced to look like flowers...I know apples turn brown after hitting the air for only a few minutes...and what if you have them sent across the country??? I don't know how fresh they would be - they look nice but I think I'll pass.
Reply:We were going to send one until we saw the prices -- OMG, you could fill a complete cart with fruit!! I have heard they are only made when you order them to insure the freshness and I don't remember seeing any apples - guess they only use the fruits that don't brown too fast.
Reply:A friend of mine received one and, yes, the fruit is very good!
Reply:i have seen, tasted and sent them. they are very good. they are on the pricey side because of the detail and time that goes into them. I would check out the place in person if possible or see if they have recommendations. They are franchised so it could vary from one person to another.

Decorating ideas for a four-post bed?
My husband and I just purchased a wood four post bed, and I would like to add netting and flowers between the posts up at the top. I'm not sure how to attach the netting. I have enough to go all the way around the bed. My sister suggested using fishing line between the posts to help secure the netting, but I'm not sure how to secure the netting to the post itself. Any ideas?
Decorating ideas for a four-post bed?
Try some self sticking velcrow strips you can conceal them around the back or the sides of each post so its still aesthetically pleasing to the eye. You can find them at walmart in the lighting department next to the powerstrips.

Relationship advice....PLEASE, honest answers...7yr relationship on the line!!!?
I have been in a relationship for 7 yrs, (civil union)..I found out she was cheating on me...that was 3 yrs ago, and we split up while she was doing this a yr after she started..anyways...we worked thru somethings, moved across state and started really working on our relationship..everything has been fine until the girl starts calling my partner, to be friends again..they started out as friends, but crossed the line when they had relations..the girl calls this week after breaking up with her current gf (who is also married with children) and wants to be friends...I am not ok with this at all...I have given my partner an ultimatum her or me...and she thinks I am over reacting that they should be able to be friends...when the girl first met my partner she began emailing love letters to her and sending her flowers and asking her out...my partner kept telling her no, until 1 yr later...the girl is rude to my partner everytime she gets a gf and wont talk to her...what do I do??? 7yrs here??
Relationship advice....PLEASE, honest answers...7yr relationship on the line!!!?
Oh, man, if my husband cheated on me and then later she called him and wanted to be friends and he didn't tell her to drop dead I'd blow my sh*t apart. This other broad sounds like a loser if she's messing around with married people and people who are in established relationships. If your girlfriend is serious about having a relationship with you then she needs to cut this chick out of the picture all together. If she insists on being "friends" with this woman, as difficult and painful as it may be, I would tell her to take a hike. You don't deserve this crap.
Reply:its obvious to me that the girl wants your partner at no cost. but your partner sounds extremely nieve. your in a tough spot. but not really. if your partner is so nieve herself. then i must ask if she is worth it. you are going to get your heart broken over and over again I'm afraid to say. your partner should be loyal to you and only you. unless your an ***. but in this case i don't think your an ***. that's my thoughts, good luck.
Reply:Personally, I don't share. And I don't think anyone else should either. Not fair to you, to her, to her so-called friend. Your gf needs to cut all ties in order for your partnership to work. There's a big trust issue at stake here. And your girlfriend has to understand that you are uncomfortable with her being friends with the other woman. As horrible as it sounds, she needs to make a choice. Either you and your 7 good years, or the other woman. I know you probably love your gf very much and really don't want to give her an ultimatum. I don't like them either, but, you have to draw the line somewhere. You deserve better . Honey, if my husband had an affair and then told me he wanted to be friends with the woman that came between us, he damn sure knows that he'd be sleeping with one eye open every night. Don't let yourself be treated this way. Love is one thing. Being taken advantage of is another. Best wishes.

Reply:Your partner is asking you to trust someone who has not earned trust. In fact, there is NO reason that either of you should trust that this other girl should be able to be your friend. She already blew that opportunity by sleeping with your partner. She doesn't get another chance to break up your relationship.
If your partner cares for you, she'll stop talking to this other girl. And you guys need to start working on things again. I cannot believe your partner would be open to conversations with this interloper if things were going totally well between the two of you. She either would have too much to lose, or she can't stand life without drama.

Reply:Seven yrs is a long time to just call it quits. Is there anyway that you could persuade her on her decision? Lets face some facts here. She cheated on you 3 yrs ago then you split up and then reunited again. There must be some type of feelings here. Have you thought about talking to a minister or a councelor? This might be an idea, have someone be like a referee to listen to both sides of your issues. I would hate to see a relationship go down the drain over something that can be solved. If she can't understand your feelings on this matter it makes me think on how much "love" is between the two of you.I hate to say "give in" to her wishes because I'm wondering how much trust is really there. If any at all. I don't know...I hate to say "quit" the relationship because even if there is just alittle hope and faith and love then you could possibly still have a good relationship.Try talking to her again calmly. If she decides that her friend is more important than you...then there is your answer.Good luck!
Reply:You wasted 7 years. Forgive her, forgive yourself, and move on.
Reply:You need to find a new person in your life and completely separate yourself from these people. A clean break or this person is going to continue making you miserable.
Reply:I don't think you are over reacting. Stick to your guns. Nothing but trouble if your partner decides to be friends with her again.
Reply:Your partner really needs to make a decision here, you or her? There is not grey area, not chance for friendship if this woman has continually persued others who are unavailable and seems to only be seeking sex, which is sort of what your description alludes to. Your ultimatum should have done the trick, however maybe you really need to make it more clear to your spouse. Perhaps telling her how her communications with her "girlfriend" make you feel. Try not to use terms such as "second-best" or "jealous," because you don't want to make yourself appear weak. Instead, you want to promote your self-respect and the survival of your relationship, which seems to have had some roadblocks.
If she isn't ready to compromise or isn't willing to discontinue the relationship, be prepared to leave her. You don't deserve a woman who is going to betray you in this manner.
Reply:OK looks to me you've talked to your partner I'd say take it a step up and talk to this girl yourself.
Tell her you're married and loving every minute of it. And you'd love it very much so if she'd leave your partner alone.
Also I'd try talking to your partner again tell her y'all seriously need to talk because communication and listening is the key to every relationship. And tell her how you feel in the nicest way possible. This is what I'd say "Baby, I know you think I'm over reacting about this situation, but how else do you want me to react when you did cheat on me with this girl. Now I love you with all my heart I deeply do, but I can't go on with you being friends with this other women knowing you cheated on me with her. It would make me feel so much better if you'd end this friendship because I'm so scared of loosing you which I do not want that because I love you more then anything." If it's been a good relationship and your wife hasn't given you any other reason to not trust her then I believe everyone deserves a second chance because a good relationship always has a bit of problems and I believe in ONLY second chances. Like I said if it was me I'd say what I said Up ad little ways, and also tell her I forgive you and I'd always love you. Just remember communication and listening is the key to ALL relationships.
If she was still friends with the person after that then I think if it was me I'd think it would happened again.
Good luck I hope this helps.

Relationship advice....PLEASE, honest answers...7yr relationship on the line!!!?
Oh, man, if my husband cheated on me and then later she called him and wanted to be friends and he didn't tell her to drop dead I'd blow my sh*t apart. This other broad sounds like a loser if she's messing around with married people and people who are in established relationships. If your girlfriend is serious about having a relationship with you then she needs to cut this chick out of the picture all together. If she insists on being "friends" with this woman, as difficult and painful as it may be, I would tell her to take a hike. You don't deserve this crap.
