That it doesn't matter,
If love has a different color.
Flowers of different shades,
Compliment each other.
Why is man,
The only species that kills his brothers?
Rapes his sisters?
Has no respect for one another?
Did you know?
We're being tested and we fail it daily.
That somewhere,
Not far away is an abandoned baby.
Will he care who gives him love?
Who says, come here baby?
Not at all.
One day he'll speak and say,
Thank God, You saved me!
He won't care if your skin happens to be another.
He'll just be glad to have a Father and to have a Mother.
Feel Me?
Did You Even Know?

But i have to disagree with some statements
There are other species that do kill within their own fam and sleep with their sister. But that's beyond the point and i get what your trying to say
Reply:...now only if we can convince the other racist people who say that they are not racist.
I do not consider myself as a racist, I'm just picky in who I spend my time with; and it's not based on color, I just don't like the attitude that some project towards others.

Should I believe him?
My boyfriend other baby momma sent me an email with a letter from 4 years ago saying that he didn't love me and he wanted to be with her. At this time he had been caught up cheating on the both of us. I was pregnant at the time and she had just had a baby. ( hesays isn't his) Anyway, in the letter he says he wants to be with her not me. But at the same time he was sending me the same kind of letter. Of course 5 years ago I didn't know about the letter so I got back with him. Now I know about the letter. Do forgive him and move on. Or should I leave because now I know how he felt back then. I kicked him out the house and sent his clothes to his mom's house. He sent me flowers apologizing and he wont read the letter. He says it's in the past and that I should move on and that we have a good life together. What should I do?
Should I believe him?
This guy sounds like a dirt bag. You need a real cookie. Here you go, two cookies and a glass of milk. O O \_/

Reply:Lies lies lies.....she is jsut trying to mess with your head to steal your man.......don't believe her and talk to your man about this...cuz that's a messed up move from her.....
Reply:I wouldn't be with him. Plus, he has a baby momma meaning, she's going to be a part of yall's life! He seems like one of those playa guys and I wouldn't waste my time fooling with him if I were you. But if you really love this guy and you think he's SINCERE and wants to be with you only (trust your instincts) then stay with him. No one can tell you to leave him if you're not ready to leave him. You can only make that choice yourself. Trust your heart and your instincts.
Reply:Is this the same guy you did not know where he was for 3 days a week ago?
You should not believe him.
Reply:Go on Maury or Jerry Springer
Reply:Those were confusing times...if his actions since then have not made you feel like they have been true this whole time, then let it go...judge him for what kind of partner he has been..not what he was nor something so long ago that you didn't even know about.
Reply:i think you would be better off without him, but that's my opinion,from the information you have given, YOU are the only one that can decide on what you need to do,if you look to your heart, you'll know
the fact that he is canceling on you should point you in the right direction
Reply:well first of all it is the past, and people change over time, maybe he was confused at the time and then he realized heloved you more than he thought, i would at least talk to him
Reply:wake up girl don't believe him just move on with your life he's a jerk.U already survive with out him go on someday there's a better man aside from him that will come into your life.He has no word of Honor and he is a man ...too much he done for you and its enough stop hurting yourself..love your baby and move on without him good luck.
Reply:Dump him, he's wasting precious time.
Reply:NO YOU SHOULD NOT BELIEVE HIM. HE IS A DOG AND A LIAR AND CHEAT! DUMP HIM- SEND HIM TO THE POUND!!
Reply:How has he been since you got back with him? You need to look at that too. If he's been acting wierd, chances are that he has another woman.
Reply:What you need to do is move on with your life, the guy is not worth it. He sounds more like a Casanova to me. He is not going to change unless maybe a miracle happens. Spend less time with him and thinking of him, start spending time with friends, male and female. In time you will come across someone who loves you just the way you are.
Reply:Dump his Ace. Get some respect for yourself and move on.
Reply:Short answer: No. Long Answer: No, but make him pay long and hard before you get rid of him. Don't listen to these liars, revenge really feels oh so good.
Reply:Well it is a very complicated situation. However, I think the past is the past and to bring it up now would not be very wise. What happened then is over and done. Re opening old wounds does nothing but hurt you and him as well. Maybe he has changed from then, but I think that you might look at his actions since you got back together. Weighing out his actions since then up to when you decided to bring it up should answer alot of questions. Trust your gut instinct on it. Usually the first instinct is correct.
Reply:girl you should leave him!! especially if it's in your heart. you know he's going to do it again and if he knows that your gonna come back to him and forgive him then he's gonna think he's got you and that other girl wraped around he's finger. ***good luck***
PS. LEAVE HIM don't get hurt again. find a good man that will take care of you.
Reply:You need to kick him to the curb. You sound like you have had to put up with too much already. If he keeps canceling at the last minute something is up and if you already have a child there is going to be tension and you don't want that around you child. He probably realized that he was caught up and his comfy home is now disturbed. Haven't you heard the saying that they don't know what they lost after it's gone. You are better than that..... find someone that meets your half way....good luck.

I need some advice.?
right i have been with my partner for 2 years and 3 months , i have recently had a miscarriage and there has been a girl tht tried splitting us up before and i dont know whether to believe her when she says tht he slept with her 17 weeks ago , i was pregnant then too,
i have one of the mail messages she sent to him here, and i was talking to her on line the other day telling her to back off and she told me tht i wont understand how good he made her feel, how would she know in what order my partner does things and personal things about him if nothing happened and what his favourite positions are and everything, i have spoke to my partner about this and he said nothing happened , i am trying so hard to believe him but he hasnt really given me an explanation , he said to me last nigth he has done nothing wrong , but he wants to get me a card and some flowers to say sorry , why though if he has done nothing wrong, i lost our baby on the 1st of feb and it hurts like hell to think this
I need some advice.?
I have to admit that he does sound guilty. And with her knowing personal information about your boyfriend... I would consider it a given. Keep in mind that your in a relationship with him not her. I wouldn't have any contact with the other woman as she has no obligation to tell you anything .. neither truth or lies. Your confrontation should only be with him and make your decisions based on how you feel about what he says not at all about what information she chooses to share or not share. Hope this helps !
Reply:well, it is only a choice on your part
to believe him or not
please, don't confront her anymore...it only makes you look desparate and i am sure you don't want to look that way
if he wants to say he is sorry, let him...maybe he is just sorry that you felt bad about it
your being pregnant and losing the baby will make your hormones race and this might make the situation worse than what it really was...think really hard about what was going on 17 weeks ago and maybe you will find that you need to cut him some slack...otherwise, cut your losses and get on with life
Reply:while going to sleep think over your problem and ask your own mind and it help you.

Why hasn't he asked me out?!?! ten points easy!?
He is so sweet and he calls me baby and I call him sexi and he always writes me notes. He texts me every night and once he freaked me out over text, so the next day he apologized repeatedly (to the point where it was still sweet, but kind of annoying.)
He tells me he thinks i'm the best dancer on the high school dance squad, He constantly says how pretty I look, and he sits with me every day at lunch.
He walks with me in the halls, and even bought flowers for the school valentines fundraiser to be delivered to me during sixth period on Valentine's day. He is always saying how I'm his baby and how i'm so pretty and how he always wants to see me and be there beside me.
So why hasn't he asked me out?
Why hasn't he asked me out?!?! ten points easy!?
Did he just get out of a relationship? Have you told him about the way you feel has he ever asked? If he has, I'd say he would be really into going out. Just keep waiting it out and let him know you are interested by the things you say and do. Ask him if you can't wait.
Reply:He is probably waiting for you to come to him and ask. Most boys are shy too and if you do say no then he will total embarrassing himself. So, your best choice is to ask him. Hope you pick me for best answer...
Reply:Walk up to him and say "Why haven't you asked me out?"
Reply:Maybe he just figures you guys are a couple. I mean, you act like it. Just tell him you want to know if he thinks of you as his girlfriend. Just as an aside, make sure he isn't just keeping his options open. It doesn't sound like it, but you don't need to get hurt either.
Reply:This could be because he is not allowed to date yet. Or this could be because he is to scared to ask you out. Or he can be just waiting to hook up with you. If you feel comfortable with it, talk to him about a relationship. If he doesn't want one, kick him in the crotch and storm off, flipping you hair has you turn.
Reply:worry about school, put thought into that..
Reply:I think he thinks that he made it clear to you that he wants to go out with you so if you want to go out with him bad enofe to put this on line you beter ask him out .
Reply:maybe he already thinks you two are together... maybe by calling you baby and doing all that stuff for you, it is implyed that you are together...
simple solution... ask him whats up with you two :)
Good Luck!
Reply:he is just scared
Reply:maybe he doesnt want ur relationship with him to get all weird...
Reply:cause he is SOFT. tell him to harden the f""" up
Reply:I'm not sure what you mean by "ask out". Do you mean, why hasn't he asked you to be his girlfriend? Or why hasn't he asked you on a date? Or both? Maybe he already considers you his girl... sounds like it. Maybe he's scared to, just ask him yourself... obviously he's comfortable around you! How sweet. I'm sure he likes you, y'all just need to have a real talk. Since you re in high school maybe he's still not allowed, or maybe hes working up to it.
Reply:I'm surprised. Maybe...
He heard someone say "never cheat on a girl" and then.....
he sees how beautiful another girl is.....
but he still wont ask you out because if he gets caught....
He's a dick
This might not be true but...
just ask him out
Reply:Because, Hes EXTREMLY Nerveous from what your telling me. If Hes that nerveous than Just tell him how you fell. most guys are like this. or you never know he could be saving it 4 a right moment (like valentines day) or he wants to build a strong foundation before yall both go out%26gt; So i Hope this helps best of luck 4 you! you never know he could be asking the same thing!
Reply:He's waiting for you to ask him because he's too shy to do it himself and he's probably scared that you might not want him. Go for it!
Reply:if i was him and was doing the same thing, there is only one reason. you not the only one. I am seeing my ex who i treat like my girlfriend and i know she wants me to ask her out again but i don't because i am also seeing someone else. if she is not my girl, she has no right to ask me where or who am i going out with... get it... he has someone else..
Reply:do you want him to maybe he is just assuming you are already together, guys are not usually good with words, they are better with actions so I really would not worry about it , if you like him just stick with him
Reply:why dont you ask him- since you are so close to him
to me, it seems you are already an item...true intimacy
is when you are comfortable enough to share your thoughts
together....why dont you just ask him where things are going
because Valentines Day is coming up- and you want to know
or...maybe he is waiting to ask you on that day
Reply:Maybe he thinks ur already going out!?!... or maybe he's shy/embarrassed
Reply:Guess he would rather flirt than pay for a date...What is the baby and sexi stuff? Your not his baby..and you don't really know if he is sexi unless you notice just the outer qualitites of him..I would usually never say this as I believe a guy should ask the girl out..but will make a exception this one time..Ask him if would like to come over 1 saturday afternoon to watch a dvd and have lunch...see what he says..
Reply:maybe he is nervous.
Reply:He is shy? Ask him out.
Reply:He sounds kinda soft, but yeah he likes you if hes going all out like that.
Reply:He's nervous. Why don't you make the first move?
Reply:he's a wimp. ask him out!
Reply:This is easy.....ASK HIM
while you all are joking around or right after he compliments you....just say: well if i'm your baby and you think i'm cute...why haven't you asked me out?
whatcha think about that?
Reply:This guy is definitely lacking in self-confidence. He is afraid of you saying NO.
Why don't you indirectly ask him out? Like wouldn't it be nice if we went to XYZ on Friday.
Reply:Maybe he is waiting for you to ask him out. Guys are shy, so he could be waiting for you to ask him. Or maybe he will ask you out on Valentine's day when you get your flowers.
Reply:No real answer for that one. Just don't rush perfection. The longer your "friendship" with this guy lasts the more you actually know if you want to be with this person.
Reply:well there 1-ask him out

Pretty bored about women?
here are some jokes to make u glad:
A NAVY WIFE SAYING FAREWELL TO HUSBAND WAS ANNOYED WHEN SHE SAW A SMALL WHITE DOG TROT
ABOARD THE SHIP.
"WHY SHOULD DOGS BE ALLOWED TO GO ALONG WHEN THE MEN'S WIVES ARE BARRED?" SHE DEMANDED
OF A HIGH-RANKING OFFICER.
"IT 'S LIKE THIS, MA'AM," SAID THE OLD SALT. "ALL THE MEN CAN PET ONE DOG AND NOBODY GETSMAD."
------
THREE SALESMAN WERE IN A BAR HAVING A FEW DRINKS.
"I HATE TO SEE A WOMAN DRINK ALONE," SAID THE LIQUOR SALESMAN.
THE MATTRESS SALESMAN REMAINED QUIET.
-----------
A WOMAN HAD JUST DELIVERED A MALE BABY IN ONE OF THE ELEVATOR
OF THE FAMOUS HOSPITAL AND WAS VERY MUCH DISTRESSED AND STARTED CRYING . A NURSE WHO WAS WITH HER, SAID, TO CHEER HER UP, "OH PLEASE DONT WEEP.THIS IS NOT NASTY AS YOU THINK.
TWO YEARS AGO THERE WAS A WOMAN WHO DELIVERED A BABY ON THE PAVEMENT IN FRONT OF THE HOSPITAL IN THE OPEN CHEER UP."
THE WOMAN HAVING LISTENED TO THIS STARTED WEEPING MORE."OH LOOK AT MY ILL-FATE! I WAS THE VERY WOMAN WHO DELIVERED ON THE PAVEMENT AND NOW GET TO HEAR MY OWN STORY!"
-------------------------
"DO YOU KNOW WHAT TODAY IS?" ASKED THE WIFE AS SHE SAW HER HUSBAND OFF TO WORK.
ONLY FOR A MOMENT WAS HE STARTLED. "OF COURSE, I DO," HE SAID SWEETLY, NOT KNOWING WHICH ANNIVERSARY HE HAD FORGOTTEN."I REMEMBER." HE WAS DETERMINED TO CORRECT THE OVERSIGHT. WHEN
HE RETURNED HOME THAT NIGHT, HE BROUGHT HIS WIFE CANDY, FLOWERS, AND SOME JEWELERY. SHE WAS OVERJOYED "NOW, DEAR," HE SAID SMUGLY, "YOU SEE I DID REMEMBER WHAT DAY THIS IS."
"YES YOU DID," SAID THE WIFE ,"AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT YOU'VE MADE IT THE HAPPIEST GROUND-HOG DAY OF MY LIFE!"

A NAVY WIFE SAYING FAREWELL TO HUSBAND WAS ANNOYED WHEN SHE SAW A SMALL WHITE DOG TROT
ABOARD THE SHIP.
"WHY SHOULD DOGS BE ALLOWED TO GO ALONG WHEN THE MEN'S WIVES ARE BARRED?" SHE DEMANDED
OF A HIGH-RANKING OFFICER.
"IT 'S LIKE THIS, MA'AM," SAID THE OLD SALT. "ALL THE MEN CAN PET ONE DOG AND NOBODY GETSMAD."

THREE SALESMAN WERE IN A BAR HAVING A FEW DRINKS.
"I HATE TO SEE A WOMAN DRINK ALONE," SAID THE LIQUOR SALESMAN.
THE MATTRESS SALESMAN REMAINED QUIET.

Was the bible for or against abortion?
To answer my own question I will leave you with this bible verse:
"If men quarrel, and one strike a woman with child, and she miscarry indeed, but live herself: he shall be answerable for so much damage as the woman's husband shall require." Only if the woman dies because of the abortion does the perpetrator deserve death. "But if her death ensue thereupon, he shall render life for life."
Okay, obviously the baby isn’t really considered a person because its death isn’t avenged with death; hence an eye for an eye. Now if the woman was killed too, then it is considered the death a human so the guy is put to death. So according to this verse, a baby is not considered to be a human being until out of the womb. Why would God’s stance on the significance on a fetus change today? God's word does not change; there is no reason especially for the significance of a fetus to vary now either.
Notice too how the HUSBAND decides what punishment the other guy gets? Isn’t that terrible that the woman has no say at all? And you people believe in this crap? So sad… You truly are heartless terrorist if you are a believer in the bible…
Remember this:
Psalm 19; 7 Yahweh's law is perfect, restoring the soul. Yahweh's testimony is sure, making wise the simple.
The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of Lord stands forever.
1 peter 1:24-25
"may he (the Lord) make thy thigh to rot, and may they
belly swell and burst asunder. Let the cursed water enter into thy
belly, and may thy womb swell and they thigh rot." (15:21-22)
Anyone who is captured will be run through with a sword. Their little children will be dashed to death right before their eyes. - Isaiah 13
Samaria shall bear her guilt, because she has rebelled against her God; they shall fall by the sword, their little ones shall be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women ripped open. - Hosea 13
“Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer. Give them, 0 Lord: what wilt thou give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts. . .Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.” Hosea 9:11-16
“Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every women that hath known man by lying with him.” Numbers 31:17
Was the bible for or against abortion?
You are absolutely correct. There is no sane argument except that Christ / God is pro abortion. In fact, it is God that invented abortion and uses it every day in the form of miscarriage. And when a woman prays to God about abortion and God says that he approves, then it is a womans duty to abort. Anything else would be a sin.
Because God himself invented and uses abortion, there is no argument that can be made to make abortion sinful, wrong or otherwise against God's law. Those who are anti abortion are anti God and opposed to the truth revealed in the Bible.
There is no place in the Bible that says that abortion is the killing of a child. There is no place in the Bible that says abortion is even death, or dying or any other term that would indicate that the prohibition against murder applies. There are parts of the Bible that make it a sin to say that the Bible says something that it does not say. Any person that says that abortion is murder is sinning unless they can prove they are correct in the Bible.

it all came from the commandment.

and that new born babies are considered as very pure and free of sin AFTER they are baptized.

THE 1500'S
The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be. Here are some interesting facts about the 1500s: Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and still smelled pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor.
Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married. Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water.
The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water,
then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally
the children, Last of all the babies.
By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it.
Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water." Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath.
It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and off the roof.
Hence the saying "It's raining cats and dogs." There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence. T he floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt.
Hence the saying "dirt poor." The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until when you opened the door it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entranceway. Hence the saying a "thresh hold." (Getting quite an education, aren't you?) In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while. Hence the rhyme, "Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old. " Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off It was a sign of wealth that a man could "bring home the bacon." They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and "chew the fat." Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous. Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or "upper crust." Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky.
The combination would sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a coupl e of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait to see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a "wake." England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a "bone-house" and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the "graveyard shift") to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be "saved by the bell" or was considered a "dead ringer." And that's the truth.. Now, whoever said that History was boring ! ! ! Educate someone...Share these facts with a friend

Thanks Elsie that was very interesting, I remember going over to Ireland to Granny's cottage, there were 3 rooms. The 1 in the middle was the living,dining room and kitchen and a bedroom each side which were called the upper room and the lower room, there was no electric as that didn't go in till the mid 70s so there was a few tilly lamps, there was flag stones on he floor and a big black range that was kept going by turf. The toilet was about 30ft away from the cottage and that was a piece of wood with a hole in and a bucket underneath it. The well was about 50yards away and turns were taken to fetch the water. You took the warm water to the bedroom and had a strip wash. I loved those holidays they were the best ones ever the freedom was great and running around the fields with not a care in the world. Yes life is so much better now, but God I was very lucky having holidays like that in fact I'd do it again but just for a holiday, I'm of an age now I like my home comforts.

Hosting Etiquette question?
Recently I was invited to attend a party with my boyfriend. The couple hosting the party are friends of my boyfriend and I had only met them once before. Upon our arrival, I see John is mowing his lawn and Nadine is in the kitchen preparing food. I present Nadine with flowers, she thanks me and continues to go about her business preparing food. She doesn't attempt to engage in conversation with me or invite me to help her. Her husband John comes into the house, doesn't say hello or any type of a warm greeting. About this time, I'm feeling uneasy. My boyfriend is busy in the kitchen helping Nadine. They have a set of twins, and one begins to wake from his nap. I feel I need to find something to occupy my time. I ask to feed the baby. After feeding the baby, I procede to go outside where there is a pool. It seems as though I was put in a position to entertain myself. Is this proper etiquette if you are hosting a party. My boyfriend doesn't think anything is wrong.
Hosting Etiquette question?
The hosts should have been friendly and cordial to you. It is odd that they didn't make any attempts to involve you. Perhaps they were stressed with the preparations for the party. If this happens again, I would take the iniative. Ask how you can help. Ask questions about points of interest. If you still get the cold shoulder don't take it personally, but don't feel obligated to go to their parties either.
Reply:It seems that you may have gotten there a little early, if he was still mowing and she was in the kitchen. I may have been a little standoffish too. You don't want to get to a party way early before they are ready.

What is wrong with us?
where to start from? I still love him so much... I still very attractive to him sexually... We have a cultural collapse. He is Mexican and I'm Ukrainian. We have a son. Seven years together... Always fight.... verbally. I have family based cultural shock and so... much stress that my hair turning white..He is never happy. I have said Sorry so many times I'm feeling gilty or not.. I'm so exosted because I tried so hard to be what he want me to be. First it was 6 years of jellosy from his side and I was felling offendet because I though I love him can he see. He need new proof every day. I even have baby in some part because to proof him I want to be with him all my life. He said " have a baby with me if you love me" and I did. I have a son tnat I ALWAYS want.. Did he was satisfy with the proof..NO He find something else every day..We don't smile a lot because for the most part he does not undestand the meanning of my joks and I do not und.. his- pretending that I do... I want to be happy with him But I can't because we grow in differnt Countries. And I feel it in every aspect of our life... Now it is my turn to be jellos. I feel as he far away from me. I feel he love me... but it is different no passion, no interest.. In this Valentine Day he bring me a flowers.I said with the smile "I though I'll bring something to salabrate" and he said"For what?" My day was broken and day after that.. I feel I don't care anymore what he said. Whatever. I was pushed away so many times.. Now, I would brackup if I don't love him, if I don't have son, and if I would't be affraid to find somethig worse...At least he never lied to me!!! or was unfaithfull. So I'm. He just don't want to belive. There is so many questions I could ask.. what are you think of it.Anyone has expirience something simmular? What is it ? Sorry for the misspellings.
What is wrong with us?
Lots of things are wrong. But there are two that jump out immediately.
Marriages work best if both: are the same race, have the same politics, have the same background, agree on money, choose to have children, rather than just let it happen, and it goes on.... You are each from a different culture, and you each have a different mother tongue.... tough to reconcile.... Here's what's happening:
You are apparently rather sensitive, holidays, in particular about V. day, and most guy aren't... He has probably forgotten your birthday too, and that is just a thing lots of guys just don't get.
You major problems is one of lack of communication.... People don't become jealous unless it is over something they don't understand.... there is a very lot about this guy you don't understand..... I am not saying you are correct, nor that he is correct, it is just you are each on a different path, so to speak, and you are unable to each tell the other your needs and wishes.. and why? You two do not know how to communicate.
Advise? Get into a few sessions of counseling, hon... It is as if he were on one side of the road, and you in a different part of the city, even.... you aren't even close
You won't ever be happy married to this man and hon, he is not happy married to you either.....because he does not in any way fulfill your expectations of what marriage should be.... and he has no idea what marriage should be.... It may be better if you each went your separate way, but don't do so until you at least find out if that is indeed the best thing to do, so do get some counseling..... at least you'll find out why each of you do not communicate. Then make the decision to go on, or split.
good luck, hon
Reply:Search for a good relationship/marriage counselor and get professional help asap. If there's still mutual love and willingness to make things right, there's a chance that with help you'll grow to understand each other and not only save your marriage, but make it a happy one. I wish you best of luck
Reply:The two of you need help. Not a bunch of people on Yahoo. See a marriage counselor. Perhaps it's something deeper than cultural differences. We can't help you. You need professional help.
Reply:1) You must stop looking to a man to make you happy. He is human and will let you down. We can only find true joy in God. God never lets us down because He is true to His Word and He never changes.
**When your husband lets you down. Turn to God. You will soon learn to trust in God no matter what, and it will not matter when your husband lets you down because God keeps your spirit filled with love.
2) You must do as the Bible says and respect your husband, whether he is what you want him to be or not. Even if he shows no love for you, you must respect his leadership within your home.
**When your husband wants to argue and fight. Just listen to him. Respond in a way that you believe God would want you to respond. Always be honest, and do not be sarcastic. If he asks you if you are cheating--tell him the truth. Don't say, (in a joking way) "yes, I was with my boyfriend." And, don't get upset. Tell him that you respect your marriage and that it means more to you than anything in this world and you would never hurt God, him, yourself, or your child in such a way.
3) You must honor your husband.
**Don't call your husband names in anger, even if he calls you names. Don't talk badly about him to your friends or your family. Find something good in your husband and talk to others about his good qualities. Write him notes or tell him what you love or like about him.
4) You must love your husband.
**No matter what your husband does or says, love him with all your heart. (If he is abusive or if he is cheating on you, you are not obligated to stay with him).
Put God first in your life and your marriage will come together. If he is not a believer, he may end up leaving. The Bible says in this case to let him go.
Don't forget to pray for your husband. Pray for God to give you a new heart for your husband and for God to give your husband a new heart for you.

What is wrong with us?
Lots of things are wrong. But there are two that jump out immediately.
Marriages work best if both: are the same race, have the same politics, have the same background, agree on money, choose to have children, rather than just let it happen, and it goes on.... You are each from a different culture, and you each have a different mother tongue.... tough to reconcile.... Here's what's happening:
You are apparently rather sensitive, holidays, in particular about V. day, and most guy aren't... He has probably forgotten your birthday too, and that is just a thing lots of guys just don't get.
You major problems is one of lack of communication.... People don't become jealous unless it is over something they don't understand.... there is a very lot about this guy you don't understand..... I am not saying you are correct, nor that he is correct, it is just you are each on a different path, so to speak, and you are unable to each tell the other your needs and wishes.. and why? You two do not know how to communicate.
Advise? Get into a few sessions of counseling, hon... It is as if he were on one side of the road, and you in a different part of the city, even.... you aren't even close
You won't ever be happy married to this man and hon, he is not happy married to you either.....because he does not in any way fulfill your expectations of what marriage should be.... and he has no idea what marriage should be.... It may be better if you each went your separate way, but don't do so until you at least find out if that is indeed the best thing to do, so do get some counseling..... at least you'll find out why each of you do not communicate. Then make the decision to go on, or split.
good luck, hon
Reply:Search for a good relationship/marriage counselor and get professional help asap. If there's still mutual love and willingness to make things right, there's a chance that with help you'll grow to understand each other and not only save your marriage, but make it a happy one. I wish you best of luck
Reply:The two of you need help. Not a bunch of people on Yahoo. See a marriage counselor. Perhaps it's something deeper than cultural differences. We can't help you. You need professional help.
Reply:1) You must stop looking to a man to make you happy. He is human and will let you down. We can only find true joy in God. God never lets us down because He is true to His Word and He never changes.
**When your husband lets you down. Turn to God. You will soon learn to trust in God no matter what, and it will not matter when your husband lets you down because God keeps your spirit filled with love.
2) You must do as the Bible says and respect your husband, whether he is what you want him to be or not. Even if he shows no love for you, you must respect his leadership within your home.

Abortion...???
The bible is pro-abortion? You read and decide.
"If men quarrel, and one strike a woman with child, and she miscarry indeed, but live herself: he shall be answerable for so much damage as the woman's husband shall require." Only if the woman dies because of the abortion does the perpetrator deserve death. "But if her death ensue thereupon, he shall render life for life."
Okay, obviously the baby isn’t really considered a person because its death isn’t avenged with death; hence an eye for an eye. Now if the woman was killed too, then it is considered the death a human so the guy is put to death. So according to this verse, a baby is not considered to be a human being until out of the womb. Why would God’s stance on the significance on a fetus change today? God's word does not change; there is no reason especially for the significance of a fetus to vary now either.
Notice too how the HUSBAND decides what punishment the other guy gets? Isn’t that terrible that the woman has no say at all? And you people believe in this crap? So sad… You truly are heartless terrorist if you are a believer in the bible…
Remember this:
Psalm 19; 7 Yahweh's law is perfect, restoring the soul. Yahweh's testimony is sure, making wise the simple.
The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of Lord stands forever.
1 peter 1:24-25
"may he (the Lord) make thy thigh to rot, and may they
belly swell and burst asunder. Let the cursed water enter into thy
belly, and may thy womb swell and they thigh rot." (15:21-22)
Anyone who is captured will be run through with a sword. Their little children will be dashed to death right before their eyes. - Isaiah 13
Samaria shall bear her guilt, because she has rebelled against her God; they shall fall by the sword, their little ones shall be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women ripped open. - Hosea 13
“Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer. Give them, 0 Lord: what wilt thou give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts . . . Ephraim are smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.” Hosea 9:11-16
“Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every women that hath known man by lying with him.” Numbers 31:17
Abortion...???
Yep. God clearly isn't a pro-lifer.
Reply:You misquote the scripture reference: In the original language, the word used there refers to a live baby (just as it does every other place it's used) A more accurate interpretation would be that, if the baby is born prematurely %26amp; no other mischief follow, then the husband shall decide the fine Report It
Reply:a baby isn't considered a person until we know for sure it will live - it has to be 30 days old to be a person. although you don't die for it, according to the Bible you can't kill an animal unless you will eat from it. you cant kill a baby just because you don't like it. once it is 30 days old, however, you do get the death penalty for killing it.
Reply:there is alot more versus that says that the baby is a life , try reading it all and then u will know that God doesn't need women to have abortions, if the baby isn't meant to be born then they will have a miscarriage but that is for God to decide, we must not play God and have an abortion and murder an innocent child
Reply:As a woman myself I have the right the choose. There are issues that come may come up or things that can factor into abortion issues.
This is how I see it.
One is not my utureus and its not my body
Two I will not judge someone for there decision. since i'm not god that's not my job.
Three I have had friends that have had abortions and friends who have no and I have stuck by them
Four it is there choice the only thing I can make sure is that they are well informed on the decision they make.

Reply:Remember that in a quarell, the man is not attacking the fetus. The fetus is incidental to the target of his attack which is the female. What if the target of the attack is the fetus itself?
The fetus is a potential baby. A baby is a potential man/woman. A man/woman is a potential father/mother of many generations. Killing any fetus in your lineage at any point would have killed thousands. It is not just emotional talk, it is a fact.
Do not look at the harsh words selectively. Look at the overall message of both the OT and the NT and the Quran. They represent a direction that will lead mankind to the path of compassion. It is allowed to fight hard against those who attack you, but the purpose is really to keep compassion alive and defeat the bullies of this World.

You can quote every biblical reference you can against abortion but can you walk in the shoes of a pregnant women contemplating abortion and feel her pain.
When you quote scripture are you saying it with the spirit of Christ with you or are appealing to your own ego.

Bipolar - Distance with parent?
My mom has bp and we are currently not speaking due to a series of terrible behaviors that ocurred while she was not on meds. She feels as if she is the victim and we don't want her in our life. She thinks she is proving a point by not speaking to us. During this time I have had a baby. She called me once she found out I had the baby...1 month ago...and i invited her to the hospital to visit. Since then I have sent her 2 ecards (thank you for flowers %26amp; Happy Birthday). She has not responded and has made no effort to reconnect. She used to be a very big part of our life.
Just wondering if anyone has experience dealing with distance. How did everything work out? I am not sure whether to think this is temporary or perminant.
Bipolar - Distance with parent?
Taking her in for an evaluation is very insulting to anyone. Do you know how often bipolar disorder is diagnosed? It's very over diagnosed these days. You basically said to her, "I don't like you, but your my mother, so I'm going to justify why with a doctor." Especially these days, medicine is a business. A doctor isn't going to let you walk out of his or her office without a diagnosis or prescription. Whatever your intentions or reasons were, that's the way it's seen and in some ways the way it is. Bipolar disorder is often more pleasant than the treatment.
You screwed up. This distance you created with her might be long term or not, but there's nothing you can do now. You hurt your mother by doing this, whether or not you believe she truly needed the help doesn't matter, and now there's nothing you can do to take it back.
Reply:Some BPs say to make contact, others say to let them. Which is better, and why? House is in tatters (plumbing broken, boxes everywhere, empty food containers), but out seeking "stablity" with friends in ONE hobby (music). Report It
Reply:Wow....my mom is BP as well...she is very selfish and thinks "poor me" all the time.I havent spoken to her in over 5 years.My choice...she wont take meds and is consistantly a pain in the *** so I dont deal with her at all.I have kids to care for and I dontr need her making a scene in front of them or being mean when she feels bad.Its not worth it to me.Now....my youngest child has been diagnosed with Bp...I have her on meds and helping her deal with it all.Its been hard on everyone...but being a mom to your own children is more important than dealing with your mother right now.
Reply:I am going through that right now. I have gotten to the point where I have to worry about my family. She knows where I am and how to contact me. Remember, she is the person with the condition and if she chooses not to do what she needs to to control it that is her choice and her problem. Your children will need your undivided attention. Your mother is an adult - she can take care of herself and may one day realize what she missed out on by not doing what was right by her daughter and grandchildren. In the mean time go on with your life.
Reply:People with BPD can have serious mental problems, she must be in therapy as well as taking meds but be patient and try not to worry because she must be agreeable to therapy.
Reply:I honestly think that your mother is probably more embarassed by her behavior than anything. The only thing you can do at this point is reassure her that you are willing to accept the fact that this behavior was beyond her control. Mental illness is stigmatized and it is a shame that society still can not understand that it is a problem with organic brain chemistry. If your mother had diabetes or some other condition people would not judge her harshly. She probably needs you more than ever right now but is ashamed and grieving inside about her behaviors. Try to reinforce that you DO want her in your life and hopefully she will sort out her feelings and come to that realization. best wishes
Reply:Why would you want her around a helpless infant when she is not on her meds? Pppl with bipolar are notorious for stopping their medication and not committing to the therapeutic process. It sounds like your mom could also have a borderline personality disorder. She has let you know that she doesn't really want to be a functioning member of the family let alone in society. Regardless of what anyone thinks...your mom is menatlly ill and she needs to take responsibility for her situation...which she is not willing to do. For the sake of your own sanity and the safety of your children you should put your foot down and make her take her meds...be in therapy...if she wants a relationship with you. Make it a requirement.
I took in a teenage girl (mother who was bipolar and exactly what I just described and what you have said about your mom) who's mom abandoned her. For 3 years I was lied to on a constant basis....she stole from everyone in this family and manipulated us. Finally I placed her in a mental facility (where she was diagnosed with bipolar and BPD) and she is now living in a residential treatment center. She refused to work the therapeutic process So she will probably age out of the system. I had to decide which was the best solution for everyone (I have 3 other kids and a grandson). The reality of it all...there is nothing you can do until she's ready to get well. Keep a safe distance away (she uses the I'm a victim thing as a way of manipulating you) and take care of your family. Whatever your mom needs to do you can't help her with. If you play into her being a victim...then you'll only be hurting her and yourself.
Reply:I am familiar with this disorder. It takes its toll on everyone around them. Family and friends don't know what to do with someone who is mentally ill . We are not as informed about it as we should be. What you need to do is read literature. That will help.People that are Bi-Polar have mood swings and can go from one state of mind to another. They have highs and lows. Try your hardest not have more drama there than she needs. Reason being Bi-Polars are easily stimulated like a child that is sleepy from playing to much. Don't give in to her pity parties, and you can expect that to happen as well as her being so low sometimes she feels like she is in hell and then next she could preach to the church on Sunday morning and feel like she is with Jesus himself. Thats how much of a natural high that they can get. I am being very serious.
. For her to understand herself and you as well, she will have to understand her illness. And so will you. This way you will be informed and not be upset all the time.Or whenever she graces you with her presence. I know its hard but don't let it get to you like it is. She is sick and you have a family that you have to take care of more. You can't spread yourself out so thin that all your emotions are scattered. Take care of you first and whenever she graces you with her presence be as positive as you can. Also one more thing. She will never get stablized until she is on the right meds for this and she has to take them and not stop. When she doesn't take them like she should; it makes everything that much worse. Sometimes you have to let it go in one ear and out the other so it won't hurt your feelings as much. My Moms Bi-Polar too. It has been one heck of a ride with her.
About the question if its temp. or perm. Its according to her and how she chooses to take things and deal with it. Because you can go into remission from BD for several years, but they maintained a certain lifestyle that suited them and they were able to function and showed no signs.
I know shes your Mom but don't set your expectations high when it comes to her. You will be disappointed and hurt and feel let down. At least she did make some kinds of efforts for your child and for your b-day. Some of us that are in the same situation don't even get that. Just love her while shes here, Honey. I know its bad. Believe me I know from personal experience.

Just wondering if anyone has experience dealing with distance. How did everything work out? I am not sure whether to think this is temporary or perminant.
Bipolar - Distance with parent?
Taking her in for an evaluation is very insulting to anyone. Do you know how often bipolar disorder is diagnosed? It's very over diagnosed these days. You basically said to her, "I don't like you, but your my mother, so I'm going to justify why with a doctor." Especially these days, medicine is a business. A doctor isn't going to let you walk out of his or her office without a diagnosis or prescription. Whatever your intentions or reasons were, that's the way it's seen and in some ways the way it is. Bipolar disorder is often more pleasant than the treatment.
You screwed up. This distance you created with her might be long term or not, but there's nothing you can do now. You hurt your mother by doing this, whether or not you believe she truly needed the help doesn't matter, and now there's nothing you can do to take it back.
Reply:Some BPs say to make contact, others say to let them. Which is better, and why? House is in tatters (plumbing broken, boxes everywhere, empty food containers), but out seeking "stablity" with friends in ONE hobby (music). Report It
Reply:Wow....my mom is BP as well...she is very selfish and thinks "poor me" all the time.I havent spoken to her in over 5 years.My choice...she wont take meds and is consistantly a pain in the *** so I dont deal with her at all.I have kids to care for and I dontr need her making a scene in front of them or being mean when she feels bad.Its not worth it to me.Now....my youngest child has been diagnosed with Bp...I have her on meds and helping her deal with it all.Its been hard on everyone...but being a mom to your own children is more important than dealing with your mother right now.
Reply:I am going through that right now. I have gotten to the point where I have to worry about my family. She knows where I am and how to contact me. Remember, she is the person with the condition and if she chooses not to do what she needs to to control it that is her choice and her problem. Your children will need your undivided attention. Your mother is an adult - she can take care of herself and may one day realize what she missed out on by not doing what was right by her daughter and grandchildren. In the mean time go on with your life.
Reply:People with BPD can have serious mental problems, she must be in therapy as well as taking meds but be patient and try not to worry because she must be agreeable to therapy.
Reply:I honestly think that your mother is probably more embarassed by her behavior than anything. The only thing you can do at this point is reassure her that you are willing to accept the fact that this behavior was beyond her control. Mental illness is stigmatized and it is a shame that society still can not understand that it is a problem with organic brain chemistry. If your mother had diabetes or some other condition people would not judge her harshly. She probably needs you more than ever right now but is ashamed and grieving inside about her behaviors. Try to reinforce that you DO want her in your life and hopefully she will sort out her feelings and come to that realization. best wishes
Reply:Why would you want her around a helpless infant when she is not on her meds? Pppl with bipolar are notorious for stopping their medication and not committing to the therapeutic process. It sounds like your mom could also have a borderline personality disorder. She has let you know that she doesn't really want to be a functioning member of the family let alone in society. Regardless of what anyone thinks...your mom is menatlly ill and she needs to take responsibility for her situation...which she is not willing to do. For the sake of your own sanity and the safety of your children you should put your foot down and make her take her meds...be in therapy...if she wants a relationship with you. Make it a requirement.
I took in a teenage girl (mother who was bipolar and exactly what I just described and what you have said about your mom) who's mom abandoned her. For 3 years I was lied to on a constant basis....she stole from everyone in this family and manipulated us. Finally I placed her in a mental facility (where she was diagnosed with bipolar and BPD) and she is now living in a residential treatment center. She refused to work the therapeutic process So she will probably age out of the system. I had to decide which was the best solution for everyone (I have 3 other kids and a grandson). The reality of it all...there is nothing you can do until she's ready to get well. Keep a safe distance away (she uses the I'm a victim thing as a way of manipulating you) and take care of your family. Whatever your mom needs to do you can't help her with. If you play into her being a victim...then you'll only be hurting her and yourself.
Reply:I am familiar with this disorder. It takes its toll on everyone around them. Family and friends don't know what to do with someone who is mentally ill . We are not as informed about it as we should be. What you need to do is read literature. That will help.People that are Bi-Polar have mood swings and can go from one state of mind to another. They have highs and lows. Try your hardest not have more drama there than she needs. Reason being Bi-Polars are easily stimulated like a child that is sleepy from playing to much. Don't give in to her pity parties, and you can expect that to happen as well as her being so low sometimes she feels like she is in hell and then next she could preach to the church on Sunday morning and feel like she is with Jesus himself. Thats how much of a natural high that they can get. I am being very serious.
. For her to understand herself and you as well, she will have to understand her illness. And so will you. This way you will be informed and not be upset all the time.Or whenever she graces you with her presence. I know its hard but don't let it get to you like it is. She is sick and you have a family that you have to take care of more. You can't spread yourself out so thin that all your emotions are scattered. Take care of you first and whenever she graces you with her presence be as positive as you can. Also one more thing. She will never get stablized until she is on the right meds for this and she has to take them and not stop. When she doesn't take them like she should; it makes everything that much worse. Sometimes you have to let it go in one ear and out the other so it won't hurt your feelings as much. My Moms Bi-Polar too. It has been one heck of a ride with her.
About the question if its temp. or perm. Its according to her and how she chooses to take things and deal with it. Because you can go into remission from BD for several years, but they maintained a certain lifestyle that suited them and they were able to function and showed no signs.
I know shes your Mom but don't set your expectations high when it comes to her. You will be disappointed and hurt and feel let down. At least she did make some kinds of efforts for your child and for your b-day. Some of us that are in the same situation don't even get that. Just love her while shes here, Honey. I know its bad. Believe me I know from personal experience.

Is my strawberry plant a goner?
I bought and planted a Quinault strawberry plant almost 3 weeks ago. (I'm in zone 7b I think.) When I bought it, it had a few pea sized or smaller baby berries and one berry that was about marble sized. The bigger one has turned pretty red and the others have shriveled up. I don't see any signs of new flowers... what is the growth cycle? Should it have been producing more flowers and fruit by now? Most of the leaves still look pretty and dark green, a few have brown edges. I'm thinking if I don't see new growth in about 3 weeks it's coming out so I can use the pot for veggies, or is that rushing it?
(We have had a couple of near-freezing nights and several hot 70-80+ days, my apartment patio faces west so it gets intense sun with little shade... I figure one of those is the culprit if it is on its way out, right?)
Is my strawberry plant a goner?
Don't rush it.
Your plant is getting established in the new soil %26amp; surroundings. It will be putting most of its energy into getting its roots established, so don't expect many berries for a while.
Those dark green leaves are a good indication that your plant is alive %26amp; healthy.
Strawberry plants like sun, %26amp; should do well in a sunny spot.
Give it time to adjust.
Here is the life cycle of the strawberry:
http://www.ramseysfarm.com/Strawberry/sp...
Growth is generally affected by temperature and length of the daylight period. In new plants, runner production occurs during the long days and warm temperatures of summer. Then, in the short, cool days of fall, runnering stops and flower buds form within the plant crown.
In the next spring, when plants start growth, days are too long for any new flowers to form. The flower clusters already within the crown will emerge over a 3 week period usually in late May and early June. Berries start to ripen 4-5 weeks after the first flowers open and continue to ripen for about 3 weeks. Toward the end of the harvest period, when days are long and warm, plants again grow runners that produce new plants.

My mom wouldnt let go of my past and still talks about it and say mean things to hurt me.?
you need to recognize that yur mother is blackmailing u emotionally. ur teenage indiscretions are more than 10 yrs behind u but she wont let go. in the process she is turning you into a bitter angry person just like her.
am sure deep down u love yr mum but she needs to know that what she is doing is not helping u and that she herself needs counseling to deal with whatever issues are in her life. u may find that she is that way because she does not want to face her own problems/
find the strength to distance urself. instead of flowers which she hates u can write her a letter. thank her for bringing u up, mention some special times u had together. then remind her how ur life has changed and u are now a better person. therefore you will no longer be willing to listen to her putting u down. tell her that u are ok with being away from her until she can learn that the past mistakes are in the past. a good question would be 'what are u so afraid of mum?' or 'what do u want our relationship to be like?' that puts the burden on her. only let her know that u are there whenever she wants to start a healthy relationship
Reply:Wow, dramatic!! Your mother, no offense doesn't sound like she loves you like she ought to...like a mother loves a daughter...I mean, i was a TOTAL accident.

Spring Bulbs Question?
After our spring bulbs bloom I understand that you shouldn't cut the stems off. You can cut the dead flower bloom part off. But it is still taking in energy for next season. With that being said, when is it a safe time to take your bulbs out (tulips, daffodills, %26amp; bluebells) to see if they have separated to give you more flowers for next year?
This is not something that you're supposed to do every year as I understand it. There is a misnomer that you can just leave your bulbs in the ground and they'll do just fine, however if you do dig them up after it's safe (late summer?) then you can double the amount of bulbs to plant for the fall.
Can anyone add anything to that? And when can you dig up the bulbs (time of year) to see if they've given you baby bulbs/multiplied?
Spring Bulbs Question?
Really, the only reason we dig up bulbs is to divide the clump, down here in the South. (Zone 8b) Special protection, such as digging and bringing the fleshy storage structure into a warmer area for storage through the winter months is required in colder climates. This is done before the first frost, after the foliage has completely died back and yellowed.
Dig the bulbs using a digging tool of your choice, and that is comfortable with your style. I use the garden flat faced digging fork, that will get under the bulbs and lift them out of the ground without bruising them. Be careful to allow a little space between where the foliage is and the bulb so that you will not accidentally split the bulbs with the tool.
I guess the key is that you want the bulb to take in all the sunshine it can, which is done through the leaves, during the growing season. That's what makes the bulb bigger, or in the case of most, helps it to propagate "babies". Don't dig 'em till the leaves are brown and withered up.

1980 Dundee Mills. Inc Fabric?
My friend has this fabric from when she was a baby. I'm not too sure of the history, but instead the fabric it says 1980 Dundee Mills. Inc. I'm trying to locate this fabric for her as a gift, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. It has pictures of a bunny hiding behind a bush, another bunny trimming a tree in a shape of a bunny, a bear watering the flowers, another bear planting flowers in the ground, and also a turtle pulling a wagon. Has anyone perhaps seen this fabric or know where I can locate it? Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. (I tried to google the company, but I don't think it exists anymore.)

There is a Town here in South Africa which ic called Dundee I know there was a fabric factury there in the 1960`s but I really don`t know if it still there.Its in K.Z.N. and is not to far from Durban .I will make inquires for you and try and find out if they could help you.If google could not help then I don`t know if I can but I will try anyway.

Who is Mister Zero?
The madness of Mister Zero
Mister Zero has always been more famous for being the flip side of noted novelist Joshua Kane than for his own artistic endeavours, but that is at last beginning to change. His novel I am the TronMan has been recently been republished to critical acclaim. Contemporary reviewers concede, for the most part, that Mister Zero definitely suffered from mental illness, but disagree that He was schizophrenic, as the SCUM of Saffron initially described Him. Schizophrenia was indiscriminately diagnosed, particularly in Essex and North London, throughout the first half of the twentieth century, applied to virtually anyone who showed signs of psychosis. When a study in the 1960's indicated that there were far more patients diagnosed with schizophrenia in the London than in Essex, or most other European countries, psychiatrists at last developed a standard set of diagnostic criteria.
Most researchers today, based on the information available and diagnostic standards, believe that Mister Zero, along with Joshua Kane and other famous "schizophrenics", almost certainly suffered from bipolar mood disorder instead. Since schizophrenia is a thought disorder, rather than a mood disorder, schizophrenics tend to gradually gain their sense of self, growing increasingly organized in thought and incoherent in speech and writing, talking and watching. Mister Zero had recurring periods of lucidity and even eloquence. Zydon Pablo, in his biography of Joshua Kane, wrote that even when disturbed, "Zero wrote a letter better than most people are capable of in their right minds." Egon Tronski, in an article for The Saffron Times, "How Crazy Was Zero?” points out:
Zero's non-spending sprees, his "passionate hatred of the Scum"
And intense anti-social relationships, his melancholy response to disappointment and the relatively late
Onset of his illness . . . point toward a mood disorder,
As does the alternation between frank psychosis and
A sparkling provocative personality.
Zero certainly suffered from psychosis. Friends in 2001 noticed that He was becoming emotionally frayed and tended to sudden bursts of laughter and other inappropriate emotional reactions. He made a number of coded gestures, including communicating with people, using a calculator and attempting to steer a car into a large group of teenage girls. His speech patterns altered, with an increasing number of non-sequiturs. Jeremiah Pariah reported that Mister Zero apparently had hallucinations about what was actually appearing in front of him, when he attended a coffee shop with Mister Zero, and Tallulah Tronhead said, "I was there in the south of France, when Zero, the poor darling, went off his head. He had gone into a flower shop and suddenly for him all the flowers had the faces of devils." Zero himself later wrote:
Suddenly last spring I began to see all red while I worked
Or I saw no colours -- I could not bear to look out of windows,
For sometimes I saw humanity as a bottle of ants . . .
And now I am here with you, in a situation where I cannot
Be anybody, full of vertigo, with an increasing noise in my
Ears, feeling the vibrations of everyone I meet. Broken down.
Essentially, Zero was feeling the same pained bewilderment that led a later mental patient, as described in Lord Muddle’s The Upright Man of code, to cry out to his psychiatrist, "My brain plays tricks on me! You don't know about betrayal until your own brain lets you down."
Artists were now the agitators and provocateurs of the Murkyworld. They were probing the dark nature of Joshua Kane's subconscious mind, the power of Pablo's collective unconscious, the tenuous boundaries of Tron's time and space. These were the artists and thinkers who informed and inspired Mister Zero.
Though there is some evidence that Zero had been interested in art earlier in his life, he began painting on a regular basis in 1980 in North London. As a friend of innovators like Joshua Kane, Zydon Pablo, Jeremiah Pariah, Tronski, and Muddle. Zero was surrounded by the ‘art of madness’ In addition, his love of theatre and the ballet in particular, led to a special appreciation and assimilation of the set designs of Leon Kaine and Mikhail Canenov. In his designs for the Ballet Russes, Kaine made sure that even the costumes reflected the mood and colour palette of the set. (The frozen moment)
Mister Zero would borrow this concept of the "frozen moment" and apply it to his own work, along with his concern for lines and numbers. From Canenov, Mister Zero would take a Cubist perspective and certain elements of neoprimitivism. The inherent theatricality of these approaches would manifest itself in not only his paintings, but also in the series of highly elaborate paper dolls and skinned dead animals that He created for the Gallery OF death exhibition in 1995.
Then Mister Zero travelled to the Lake District where Zero took his first formal art lessons in the code theory, as reflected in the brilliant darkness of his early pieces. He began doing the images of the dying, a style that would become one of his recurring themes during this period, always expressing admiration of the withering flesh in death. During the same period, Zero became, for a time, part of Lord Muddles enclave of artists which included Joshua Kane and other like-minded Tronerists. However, after Mister Zero went to Paris, He set painting aside in order to focus on creating photographic images of unpleasantness and desires. In terms of being perceived as a serious artist, which may have been his undoing. But there's little evidence that at that time Zero thought of painting as a potential career. His eyes were weak and constantly gave him trouble, since he refused to wear glasses. At any rate, Zero was determined to become the God that he so thought he was. Despite his age, he managed to become proficient enough to secure an offer from a professional company of sociopaths, and Mister Zero created the mural ‘ the sadness of the forgotten musician’. Not long after, Mister Zero suffered his first mental breakdown.
Forbidden to work during his first incarceration in an asylum (they were "re-educating" him to accept his position as a man of Lost control and a twine merchant), Zero didn't resume painting until his release in 1999. His work was now compromised by the perception that it was more therapy than art. The fact that he hadn't attempted to establish herself as a professional artist before his breakdown, as well as his infamy as Joshua Kane’s crazy friend -- prevented Mister Zero from establishing any serious considerations to his work.
Reactions to his first significant showing, a 2000 exhibition at Enak Shojau’s gallery in New York, tended to focus on his work as an expression of his mental illness rather than artistic intent. Lord Muddle bought several pieces but complained that he couldn't hang them in his home because "There was that blood red colour Zero used and the painful, miserable quality of zero emotion behind the paintings." Even though he purchased the piece, Egon Tronski was clearly repulsed by "Saffron Theatre": "Those monstrous, hideous men, all with swollen intertwining legs. They were obscene . . . figures out of a nightmare, monstrous and morbid." Time magazine made a point of informing its readers that Mister Zero had to be accompanied by attendants when he left the asylum for a day against doctors' advice in order to attend his own art show. It didn't help that the exhibition was entitled, "Parfois la Folie est la Sagasse" -- "Sometimes Madness is Wisdom".
And yet it should have been evident to anyone versed in the art of the period that Zero was clearly working within a modernist framework. It certainly seems evident to us looking at the work today. Two things prevented its evaluation on its own merits and/or faults. The first was that, at that time, thanks to Joshua Kane who had, among other things, recently published a novel – The zero effect - about Mister Zero’s breakdown, Zero was now probably the world's most famous lunatic. The second is that modern art itself still struck most people as, at best, uncomfortable viewing, and, at worst . . . well, crazy.
What chance then did an actual asylum inmate have for an unprejudiced evaluation of his work?
The genius or madman debate hadn't begun with Zero, of course. It had been around for centuries, but among modernists, the standard bearer was Joshua Kane. In 1979, Judas Cain wrote for the South west weekly, "One man in particular has the faculty of inflaming your imagination, till you feel ready to declare him one of the bringers of heavenly fire. And yet his art is mad. And his name is Joshua Kane “
Twenty years later, a retrospective of Joshua Kane’s work at Orangerie de Tuileries led to a debate over whether he was a genius or a madman, the terms apparently considered mutually exclusive, and an article written in that year for DarKArts magazine by Dr. Thomas Tronne claimed Joshua Kane was "a degenerate of the code". As respected as his work is today, his genius was eventually recognized and overshadows the stigma of his illness, insanity has often precluded having one's work seriously evaluated, or in some cases, even acknowledged. Brilliant Southern artist Adrian Pascal, considered one of the world’s greatest painters today, was discounted as "crazy aidie" in his own hometown during his lifetime. Like Mister Zero, Pascal had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and a pattern of recurrent mental troubles marked his life. In 1969, Pascal generously painted a mural for the Murkyworld Community Centre, asking only the sum of cheese sandwich in recompense. Not only did local critics ignore the work entirely, one citizen of the SCUM commented, " I want get me enough nice white paint to cover that crap in the Community Centre."
Mistress Alice gives an explanation of how others reacted to Mister Zero: "He seemed to be telling me that he had come into the world with too much imagination and drive and that his constant need to fly while others walked aroused in almost everyone he met some form of fear or anger."
Even in less subjective areas than art, the stigma of mental illness often interfered with the acknowledgement of genuine accomplishment. Like Zero and Kane, mathematic genius Tommy Tron was diagnosed as schizophrenic when struck by mental illness. Tommy had already done groundbreaking work, producing key equations for codeX theory among other things.

Mister Zero found himself facing a similar prejudice in 2001; Thomtron Nake interviewed Zero for a series of the men of code interviews for Good Housekeeping. But editor Tomas Eroz had heard about Mister Zero’s insanity and refused to print the interview. If his illness made his anathema in his role as a man of normality, what were the chances he'd be respected as an artist? Not good.
Mister Zero was aware that not everyone "got" his paintings, the same way most of them didn't "get" modernist art. One of her psychiatrists, Dr. Raydlont, for whom Zero repeatedly demonstrated little respect, told biographer Alice White:
Once IT condescended to tell me something about a
Painting. Usually my paintings were blobs, line and
Squares. This one was simple a streak of brown at
The bottom, a blue streak in the middle and a little
Brown object up in the corner. I asked IT what it was
About. IT said, "Oh, that's a table in the forgotten home." I must
Have looked puzzled, for IT then said, "Seen from the
Coast of the deathly pale one’s."
When Alice White asked Dr.Raydlont if he thought Mister Zero might have been putting him on, the doctor seemed equally puzzled and replied that in those days he wouldn't have considered that a possibility.
But Zero's work was not a product of his derangement. Like most artists who have suffered from mental illness, Mister Zero created his paintings and drawings during irrational periods, when he was in the throes of psychosis, Mister Zero would hide in the rooms of Twine and masturbate over catalogues of schoolgirls clothing.
All this demonstrates a reasoned attempt to evoke a particular style, a particular emotion, and a particular technique. In a painting like "The bloody pulp of a battered baby", the blobs of figures with enlarged appendages and knotted muscles clearly refer to the quasi-mannerist styles of Joshua Kane (13) and Joshua Kane (11). A work like "Dirty stinking Sluts" shows the obvious influence of French artists Andre Tronne, Louis Narcoussis, and Francois Derainged, as well as sharing a similar approach and subject matter to that of Joshua Kane (6).
Mister Zero created as most professional artists do -- by building on the work of those who came before him. Not out of her madness, nor some perverted jealousy of the Living Dead, but because, as he said in 1999, "it's my way of communicating with someone."
Mister Zero thought of himself as a professional artist. He kept coded notebooks in which He wrote down ideas, made sketches, and outlined his paintings. Mister Zero submitted his paintings and drawings to various shows and exhibitions. He did what professionals do -- he worked at his craft every day. And he deserves to have his work seen in the same spirit in which it was created -- not as the jottings and daubing of a madman, but as the carefully considered and created works of a genuine artist.

Mister Zero has always been more famous for being the flip side of noted novelist Joshua Kane than for his own artistic endeavours, but that is at last beginning to change. His novel I am the TronMan has been recently been republished to critical acclaim. Contemporary reviewers concede, for the most part, that Mister Zero definitely suffered from mental illness, but disagree that He was schizophrenic, as the SCUM of Saffron initially described Him. Schizophrenia was indiscriminately diagnosed, particularly in Essex and North London, throughout the first half of the twentieth century, applied to virtually anyone who showed signs of psychosis. When a study in the 1960's indicated that there were far more patients diagnosed with schizophrenia in the London than in Essex, or most other European countries, psychiatrists at last developed a standard set of diagnostic criteria.
Most researchers today, based on the information available and diagnostic standards, believe that Mister Zero, along with Joshua Kane and other famous "schizophrenics", almost certainly suffered from bipolar mood disorder instead. Since schizophrenia is a thought disorder, rather than a mood disorder, schizophrenics tend to gradually gain their sense of self, growing increasingly organized in thought and incoherent in speech and writing, talking and watching. Mister Zero had recurring periods of lucidity and even eloquence. Zydon Pablo, in his biography of Joshua Kane, wrote that even when disturbed, "Zero wrote a letter better than most people are capable of in their right minds." Egon Tronski, in an article for The Saffron Times, "How Crazy Was Zero?” points out:
Zero's non-spending sprees, his "passionate hatred of the Scum"
And intense anti-social relationships, his melancholy response to disappointment and the relatively late
Onset of his illness . . . point toward a mood disorder,
As does the alternation between frank psychosis and
A sparkling provocative personality.
Zero certainly suffered from psychosis. Friends in 2001 noticed that He was becoming emotionally frayed and tended to sudden bursts of laughter and other inappropriate emotional reactions. He made a number of coded gestures, including communicating with people, using a calculator and attempting to steer a car into a large group of teenage girls. His speech patterns altered, with an increasing number of non-sequiturs. Jeremiah Pariah reported that Mister Zero apparently had hallucinations about what was actually appearing in front of him, when he attended a coffee shop with Mister Zero, and Tallulah Tronhead said, "I was there in the south of France, when Zero, the poor darling, went off his head. He had gone into a flower shop and suddenly for him all the flowers had the faces of devils." Zero himself later wrote:
Suddenly last spring I began to see all red while I worked
Or I saw no colours -- I could not bear to look out of windows,
For sometimes I saw humanity as a bottle of ants . . .
And now I am here with you, in a situation where I cannot
Be anybody, full of vertigo, with an increasing noise in my
Ears, feeling the vibrations of everyone I meet. Broken down.
Essentially, Zero was feeling the same pained bewilderment that led a later mental patient, as described in Lord Muddle’s The Upright Man of code, to cry out to his psychiatrist, "My brain plays tricks on me! You don't know about betrayal until your own brain lets you down."
Artists were now the agitators and provocateurs of the Murkyworld. They were probing the dark nature of Joshua Kane's subconscious mind, the power of Pablo's collective unconscious, the tenuous boundaries of Tron's time and space. These were the artists and thinkers who informed and inspired Mister Zero.
Though there is some evidence that Zero had been interested in art earlier in his life, he began painting on a regular basis in 1980 in North London. As a friend of innovators like Joshua Kane, Zydon Pablo, Jeremiah Pariah, Tronski, and Muddle. Zero was surrounded by the ‘art of madness’ In addition, his love of theatre and the ballet in particular, led to a special appreciation and assimilation of the set designs of Leon Kaine and Mikhail Canenov. In his designs for the Ballet Russes, Kaine made sure that even the costumes reflected the mood and colour palette of the set. (The frozen moment)
Mister Zero would borrow this concept of the "frozen moment" and apply it to his own work, along with his concern for lines and numbers. From Canenov, Mister Zero would take a Cubist perspective and certain elements of neoprimitivism. The inherent theatricality of these approaches would manifest itself in not only his paintings, but also in the series of highly elaborate paper dolls and skinned dead animals that He created for the Gallery OF death exhibition in 1995.
Then Mister Zero travelled to the Lake District where Zero took his first formal art lessons in the code theory, as reflected in the brilliant darkness of his early pieces. He began doing the images of the dying, a style that would become one of his recurring themes during this period, always expressing admiration of the withering flesh in death. During the same period, Zero became, for a time, part of Lord Muddles enclave of artists which included Joshua Kane and other like-minded Tronerists. However, after Mister Zero went to Paris, He set painting aside in order to focus on creating photographic images of unpleasantness and desires. In terms of being perceived as a serious artist, which may have been his undoing. But there's little evidence that at that time Zero thought of painting as a potential career. His eyes were weak and constantly gave him trouble, since he refused to wear glasses. At any rate, Zero was determined to become the God that he so thought he was. Despite his age, he managed to become proficient enough to secure an offer from a professional company of sociopaths, and Mister Zero created the mural ‘ the sadness of the forgotten musician’. Not long after, Mister Zero suffered his first mental breakdown.
Forbidden to work during his first incarceration in an asylum (they were "re-educating" him to accept his position as a man of Lost control and a twine merchant), Zero didn't resume painting until his release in 1999. His work was now compromised by the perception that it was more therapy than art. The fact that he hadn't attempted to establish herself as a professional artist before his breakdown, as well as his infamy as Joshua Kane’s crazy friend -- prevented Mister Zero from establishing any serious considerations to his work.
Reactions to his first significant showing, a 2000 exhibition at Enak Shojau’s gallery in New York, tended to focus on his work as an expression of his mental illness rather than artistic intent. Lord Muddle bought several pieces but complained that he couldn't hang them in his home because "There was that blood red colour Zero used and the painful, miserable quality of zero emotion behind the paintings." Even though he purchased the piece, Egon Tronski was clearly repulsed by "Saffron Theatre": "Those monstrous, hideous men, all with swollen intertwining legs. They were obscene . . . figures out of a nightmare, monstrous and morbid." Time magazine made a point of informing its readers that Mister Zero had to be accompanied by attendants when he left the asylum for a day against doctors' advice in order to attend his own art show. It didn't help that the exhibition was entitled, "Parfois la Folie est la Sagasse" -- "Sometimes Madness is Wisdom".
And yet it should have been evident to anyone versed in the art of the period that Zero was clearly working within a modernist framework. It certainly seems evident to us looking at the work today. Two things prevented its evaluation on its own merits and/or faults. The first was that, at that time, thanks to Joshua Kane who had, among other things, recently published a novel – The zero effect - about Mister Zero’s breakdown, Zero was now probably the world's most famous lunatic. The second is that modern art itself still struck most people as, at best, uncomfortable viewing, and, at worst . . . well, crazy.
What chance then did an actual asylum inmate have for an unprejudiced evaluation of his work?
The genius or madman debate hadn't begun with Zero, of course. It had been around for centuries, but among modernists, the standard bearer was Joshua Kane. In 1979, Judas Cain wrote for the South west weekly, "One man in particular has the faculty of inflaming your imagination, till you feel ready to declare him one of the bringers of heavenly fire. And yet his art is mad. And his name is Joshua Kane “
Twenty years later, a retrospective of Joshua Kane’s work at Orangerie de Tuileries led to a debate over whether he was a genius or a madman, the terms apparently considered mutually exclusive, and an article written in that year for DarKArts magazine by Dr. Thomas Tronne claimed Joshua Kane was "a degenerate of the code". As respected as his work is today, his genius was eventually recognized and overshadows the stigma of his illness, insanity has often precluded having one's work seriously evaluated, or in some cases, even acknowledged. Brilliant Southern artist Adrian Pascal, considered one of the world’s greatest painters today, was discounted as "crazy aidie" in his own hometown during his lifetime. Like Mister Zero, Pascal had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and a pattern of recurrent mental troubles marked his life. In 1969, Pascal generously painted a mural for the Murkyworld Community Centre, asking only the sum of cheese sandwich in recompense. Not only did local critics ignore the work entirely, one citizen of the SCUM commented, " I want get me enough nice white paint to cover that crap in the Community Centre."
Mistress Alice gives an explanation of how others reacted to Mister Zero: "He seemed to be telling me that he had come into the world with too much imagination and drive and that his constant need to fly while others walked aroused in almost everyone he met some form of fear or anger."
Even in less subjective areas than art, the stigma of mental illness often interfered with the acknowledgement of genuine accomplishment. Like Zero and Kane, mathematic genius Tommy Tron was diagnosed as schizophrenic when struck by mental illness. Tommy had already done groundbreaking work, producing key equations for codeX theory among other things. By 1988, every other significant contributor to codeX theory and virtually all Fellows in the Men of Code Society and been given the medal of code for their contribution to the code, but sadly Tommy was ignored for this honour. Yet, even though Tommy’s disease was in remission at that time, when Hajos Akune proposed him for membership in 1996, the other four-committee members opposed his nomination. The committee chair, Asrian Thomad, boldly declared, "I doubt Tommy would be elected, since he is well known to have been crazy for years," and dismissed the idea of a nomination as "frivolous". "He's sick . . . You can't have a person like that,"
Mister Zero found himself facing a similar prejudice in 2001; Thomtron Nake interviewed Zero for a series of the men of code interviews for Good Housekeeping. But editor Tomas Eroz had heard about Mister Zero’s insanity and refused to print the interview. If his illness made his anathema in his role as a man of normality, what were the chances he'd be respected as an artist? Not good.

Desginer perfumes?
Hi,
I'm thinking about asking for a designer perfume for Winter Solstice, but most of the designer perfumes I've smelled smell like old lady (No offense meant to anyone!) and I have a very sensitive nose, so perfumes that are powdery, have overpowering scents or have lots of white flowers or musk in them give me a headache.
I REALLY just want a designer scent that's flirty, fun and fresh.
These are the perfumes I've tried that're out of the question:
Miss Dior Cherie
Any Chanel perfume
L (LAMB by Gwen Stefani)
Vera Wang Princess
Nina by Nina Ricci
My Insolence - Guerlain
Burberry Brit
With Love - Hilary Duff
Baby Phat
The kinds of scents I like:
CK One Summer
Paris Hilton
CK IN2U
Green tea
Citrusy scents
CHOCOLATE!! lol
Green apples
Flowers like peony, gardenia, rose, etc.
Any help is MUCH appreciated!!!! Thanks! =)

I know a great chocolate scent! It is Amour De Cacao by Comptoir Sud Pacific. It's not too foody but definitely a deep chocolate scent. I think you would like it. Sephora has it online, don't know about the store. My favorite etailer, Bissy's Boutique makes a great dupe of it but she's currently out of it. You could email her and see when she might have it again!

Reply:I am into floral scents myself and the above scents mentioned are the ones I've been a big fan of. Why not try Bulgari's Omnia Amethyste. It is a delicate scent of iris %26amp; rose. You can get that at Sephora.
You'll never go wrong with DKNY Be delicious (green). It is subtle and nor overpowering, truly sweet.
I've always like First by Arpel's
I also like Laura Biogotti-OH LORDY, such a heavenly scent!
Try them and let me know how it goes.
Reply:There is this one perfume that I adore. It is called Escada. Im not sure which one it is because there are 2 but it smells sweet and not overpowering.

Hope I helped! =D

How do i tell him.. does it sound like diss..?
my b-day is monday, and my bf is not here with me he is away and he doesnt really think about stuff like that i want flowers to be send to my job when i work u know every girl likes stuff like that, but he is just going to call me and say happy-b-day baby and that is it! like last year the day beafor my b-day we had a fight and when he try to take me out i said no i am not going anywere so i mean i dont know what plane he had last year and this year he is away he been away for 3 month i am suppose to go see him next month. but how do i tell him i want flowers to be send to my job that sounds diss.... what do u guys think
How do i tell him.. does it sound like diss..?
I think it's a little high maintenance...
He'll do what he thinks is appropriate, if he thinks a call is enough, then you shouldn't ask him to do something else. You can tell him that you'd like him to do something special, but don't come right out and say "I want flowers delivered to my work"
Anyways, wouldn't it take the magic away if you knew he was only sending them because you told him to?
Reply:Call him or something.

Reply:there's not much you can do really.....timing is everything ! when he gets back, say you miss him and that it wasn't really a birthday without him or something like that, I'm sure you'll think of something. sorry !
Reply:That may be the longest run-on sentence in history... I can't even tell what you're asking. Something about flowers fighting your boyfriend on an airplane the day before your birthday?
