I'd call animal control, msbelle. yick!
I have a problem that's root is someone being really nice to me so I feel bad about it feeling like an added stressor. I have a good friend who has a flower shop in Belgium (called Baltimore!). When I told him I was getting married he offered to do my flowers for me. Now, if he hadn't offered I probably wouldn't have had (real) flowers at all. It's not something I really care about. But since he wanted to do them, I was on board. Well, he hurt his wrist and now needs an operation next week and will be out of commission for about two months. No bouquet making and no coming to the wedding. sad! SO he arranged for the fancy florist who he apprenticed with here to do our flowers. I have a meeting with them scheduled for Sunday and I have NO IDEA what to tell them to make for me. I was leaving it all up to the Belgian!
So does anybody have any suggestions for flowers for a winter wedding bouquet? I don't even know what's in season or whatever.
Lisa, start looking here and just take in pictures you like. [link]
I'm sure the florist will also be completely patient with you having no idea.
I got a nice T Mobile employee today. My phone drops 3G/Edge ability about once a day, until I reboot. Tech support gave her a three step troubleshooting process. She performed step 1, told me to come in next week if I was still having the problem and she'd tell tech support she'd tried step 2 and get the phone replaced.
Someone elsewhere asked for gay male superheroes in mainstream comics, saying she could think of a lot of lesbians, and it occurs to me I can think of at least as many gay guys as lesbians (frankly, all I can think of is Renee Montoya right now, but that's not right).
My ex-manager did flower arranging on the side and did a couple of winter weddings - I can't find any photos on fb, but I do remember a wedding she did where she used holly, ivy, mistletoe and roses, and the bouquets looked amazing.
msbelle, I'd just bury it. But don't touch it! Fleas.
My ex-husband is in wikipedia which is kinda...odd. [link] Oh, if only he was as mature as he was talented. Actually, I have to say he seems to have grown up a lot since we were married and is no longer a huge douchenozzle.
Karaoke crimes. I can't sing for shit, so karaoke pretty much bores me. But I totally agree with their stances.
Jesse, I don't think so. You better find a fainting couch.
I survived! But I'm now wondering if my boss will be in next week, and I have sigificant amounts of work that can't move forward before I talk to her. The problem is that the reason she was out all this week is really sad -- her sister is dying. But it's still inconvenient for my work.
Lisa, I'd have some conceptual idea in mind, but let the florist tell you what's in season, etc.
Make laced shoes into slip-ons with inner tubes
I got tired of my bike's pedals catching my laces, so I decided to ditch my laces and go for something else. I ended up with using inner tubes to turn them into slip-ons. They stretch out to put your foot in, and stretch back tight. Mine are incredibly comfortable and very convenient.
All you need is a pair of shoes (laced), an inner tube, and scissors.
Huh. Clever idea.
OMG, work wants a blog (but we can't call it that) for the extranet. All this expertise that I will kinda pretend I don't have.
