my good friend..who was only 41 years old..died in her sleep last week ...leaving two gorgeous boys ages 15 %26amp; 13....I spoke to her thru email everyday for the last seven years...I'm so sad..for her, her family...she had a rough life but always saw the bright side..she raised her boys all alone..and now what ??? what do they do now ??? I ffeel so guilty not going to the funeral...It was in Texas and I couldn't afford to fly there overnight from NY.... I sent flowers..but now what do I do ?? Im so sad and lonely without her...she didn't deserve this...after finally being able to be happy in her life and relax a little..she dies !!!! Im sorry if im just rambling..but how can God do this ??? I just don't understand...and I know all the religious people will answer and say..oh it was god's will and what will be will be ..but its JUST NOT FAIR...thanks for listening.....
My friend died...?
Send an Email to the boys telling them who you are and how much you thought of their mother. Apologize for not attending the funeral.
Tell them about how she told you about them and you feel like you know them.
Tell them about some of the things you and their mother used to do and what fun that you had and things you admired about her and thing she did that caused you to laugh. Give them this memory of her that they don't have.
Tell them about yourself, where you live what you do and what your interests are. Tell them you would like to stay in touch with them and if there is anything you can do to help them to let you know. Give them your Email address, postal address and phone number.
Keep the Email as much upbeat as possible.
Reply:My condolences to you and your friend's family. Don't be mad at God. If you loaned something out it would still belong to you, right? Psalms 24 says, "The earth is the Lord's, the fullness thereof and those that dwell therein."
God loaned your friend to the world as he loans us all. He loves her more than any human could. He made her and has called her spirit home. She is enjoying a rest in him you won't be able to concieve until you do the same. If you could know it you would never call her back to the suffering of this world. You must accept his divine wisdom and say like Job, "The Lord giveth, the Lord taketh. Blessed be the name of the Lord."
Disbelief and anger are a part of grieving. However, be careful not to turn your back on the one who is the source of your help.
Contact your friend's family. Ask for an address and send the boy's cards on the holidays, their birthdays and include such monetary gifts as you can. Perhaps you'll develop a relationship with them over time and can honor their mother's memory by extending your friendship to them. Simple, "thinking about you" cards would be enough. You don't want to overwhelm them with your grief.
In time you'll feel better. Good memories will replace your grief. It is a process.
Reply:life isnt fair just think of it as god was ready for one of his angels
Reply:So sorry. We have questions in life that will never be answered. I don't know why it happen. I don't think it was God or fate. Its not fair but, in time the pain will pass.
Reply:i know how you feel you probably ask why? i dont know im sorry
Reply:I'm sorry about your losing a good friend.
I don't know why things like this happen, but, you have the good memories of her, and her boys at least will have the memories of growing up with her.
It's hard, I know. Take each day one at a time, and I hope you will feel better.
Reply:O, I'm so sorry that happened...how sad...
Reply:I hear you loud and clear. I just lost my brother he was only 39 and had liver cancer which was just found in March.
Never feel regret, it won't help. I asked myself the same question "If there is a God, why would he do this". Everyone says there are reasons for everything, but the reasons don't equate when you have lost someone close to you.
I have sought some grief counseling and it really helps. Give it a try, and talking to people is good.
Reply:I am sorry for your loss. You are right, it's not fair; to the kids, her family, and to her friends including you. It's also OK to be angry about her death. I lost someone very close to me. It's been a year and a half and I am still angry, confused, upset, depressed, you name it.....
I know you want to reach out to her family. You should. Write them each a letter expressing how much you loved and admired their mother. You can write them several letters over as much time as you wish. Tell them what a wonderful person their mother was. Tell them a story or two about their mother and how she displayed her favorable characteristics. It will help you, and it will also help them. They will keep your letters forever. I tell you this from my own experiences. It was so comforting to me to receive letters from people who knew my daughter. I still read them from time to time. Do not expect a letter in return. For as bad as you're hurting, their hurt is multiplied several times. That's not to say your pain is not justified. It is. It's real. I know. I know that you know that.
If it will help in your recovery, go to Texas as soon as you can, but don't worry about getting their overnight. Go when you can.
Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems you don't want to hear this: It is true and it may be comforting to you to know that there IS a heaven and your friend is there. In heaven, there is love everywhere and between everyone. It might help you to imagine a world like that and how wonderful it must be for your friend to be there. I'm not a religous fanatic but it's the only source of comfort I have found.
I wish you well and truly hope that you find real comfort from your pain. God bless.
Reply:You're right - its not fair. But it is God's will.
Maybe his plan was for her to figure out how to live in peace before he brought her home?
Is it fair to her boys? No. Maybe God knows they have the strength needed and taught to them by a loving mother to move through this tough time and become great young adults?
I don't know. Sorry to hear of your loss. Please know that God does a reason, even if its nowhere near being apparent to us at the time.
I work in healthcare and could ask this question multiple times per week at the hospital. Funny thing is - over time, I've come to accept that the man upstairs does have a plan - he just doesn't always feel the need to clue us in on it before carrying it out.
Again - sorry for your loss and hopefully you can offer some support (emotional or otherwise) to your friend's boys.
Reply:I know it isn't fair and as for her boys this is horrible. I don't know if she was sick or if this was just something sudden that happened unexpected but either way it's horrible. I know now that you're going to be lonely. All I guess you can do now is know that she is with you in spirit and that you can talk to her anytime you want and do whatever you can do for her boys that way you will know you did all you could after she was gone. I'm sorry for the passing of your friend.
Reply:There is nothing anyone can say to make it right but hopefully I can offer you some empathy. My father recently passed away after totally changing his life after a long run of drinking and drugs. He got a great job, good women, and was a role model for all that knew him, only to pass away from cancer a year later. All I can say is that things do happen, normally they aren't fair, but we can keep them alive through memories. My condolences to you and her sons.
Reply:You have a right to your feelings rather you believe in God "god" or not. Be mad be sad be whatever it is that you have to be in order to get over it. If you can stay in contact with her family maybe that will help you feel better, actually being apart of the after process.
Reply:Wow..I'm so sorry.
I believe, no matter how much it sucks, that this was God's plan for her. My freshman year in high school, my best friend%26amp;%26amp;my boyfriend of 2 years died from double pneumonia. Philip was 16 [[a sophomore]] a straight A student, an active member of FFA and Drama clubs. Everyone loved him. We went to an FFA competition on Friday..he got a "cold" on Sunday, I visited him on Monday and Tuesday morning his mom called me to tell me he had passed. It was devastating. . . I cried all that day, and all night until I ran out of tears and just dry-sobbed. It felt like my heart had been ripped out. At his funeral I put a gerbera on his coffin...our favorite flowers and said goodbye for the last time. Its not fair. It wasn't fair and it never will be "okay" with me. But nonetheless, I believe it was God's plan for him, and for me. I have changed my life so much since his death and I am such a better person. Philip was a ray of light in this world...and he did all the good he was meant to do soo so fast that God wanted him back. I'll be with him again some day. As for now, I just have to remember that God has a plan for me too..and giving up is not part of it.
Reply:I'm so sorry..My thoughts are with you. I am decade younger than your friend but I have friends around her age and I know how young that is. That is just unfair.
My advice to find someone you can talk to about this and will support you through this.
Perhaps she was sick and didn't realize it. I don't think God did this. Sometimes young people just get sick and die and makes no sense and its not fair!
Reply:Well the Good Book says that we are to remember that people who 'pass on' are freed from strife and sorrow, unlike the rest of us. She has gotten her reward and is in a better place and happy now.
The ones to feel for are her children, who have lost their mother. They will always miss her and they are still so young. Perhaps if you were to take an interest in them and help them as they grow up, no doubt it would please your good friend.
Reply:i had a friend die too, and I couldn't make it to the funeral b'cause my ex would be there; who threaten me not to show up
Reply:I'm sorry for your loss. And I did not just do this for points I am genuinly a good person and I know how it is to lose someone. I think its the hardest thing to go thru. So just take your time grieving. If you don't now it will always sneak up on you and you'll just feel sad and not know why.
Reply:*OUCH*
Reply:So if I can't talk about God's will then I will have to say that no one said life was fair.
Reply:You are right it is not ever fair, it is not our place to understand and it is ok to hurt and to be mad. You lost someone that you loved and you will miss her. Go ahead to be mad at God he can handle it. In time you will heal some and start to see the plan. Be mad, I know that I have been mad everytime I have lost someone. I just lost my mother 6 months ago. Never easy
Reply:wow!! im sorry to hear that..
Reply:loook, everything happens for a reason. I understand how you feel. I have had 41 close relativesfriends die in the past, and its really hard, but you need move on, well try to. Maybe a few thearopy sessions will help you. I'm terribly sorry for your loss.

Guy Friend Question.?
Okay so, In 8th grade me and this guy friend of mine, Josh, Started liking each other. Over the summer we stayed up on IM talking about just about anything. Then in 9th grade Homecoming, He asked me to it with a huge bouqet of pink flowers. I said yes, But then my great grandfather died, Somebody I was really close to. And his funeral was dated to the day of homecoming.
I sent Josh a myspace long letter explaining how sorry I was but I couldn't go, That I didn't want to ruin his night because of my depression for the loss. But then that ended up us not talking for a year.
Now we're back to talking, But not in person. The only time he talks to me is on IM, And he acts completely normal. But in person, In our Bio class, He ignores me. And he recently got a girlfriend, And he seems to be rubbing it in my face. Is he trying to get me jealous again because of what happened years ago?
Guy Friend Question.?
I think he's being pretty childish.....you shouldn't waste your time on him. Sorry.
Reply:It is time to move on, you are too young to mope.
Maybe it would have been nice, maybe not.
Don't waste time. Find another. Life is too short.
Reply:how old is that josh if he is young(16-23) it means he is just looking somebody to be with if no he gave u change and in his little world he did the right think.
maybe he is so full of pride and he cannot forgive u, i heard a saying long time ago " love doesnt accept pride, only stupid people try to have pride in love"
and in my little world i was the stupid one.
hate to say it but move on

My son's friend's mother died last Sunday. They are from Church of Latter Day Saints.?
We would like to go to the funeral but are not sure of the protocol as we are C of E. Should we send flowers? Would anybody from that church please let me know what to do as we do not want to offend.
My son's friend's mother died last Sunday. They are from Church of Latter Day Saints.?
Flowers would be appreciated, there is no problem with you going to the funeral.
Also, I was thinking, when something like this happens in an LDS family, a lot of the other families will get together and prepare meals for the household...maybe get a hold of the bishop's wife, if you want to help out in that way...
Reply:Just like any other funeral.
Reply:Flowers and a sympathy card is very appropriate. The funeral really will not be any different from other churches'. Just dress/do as you would at any other funeral.

I need someone to interpret a dream I had last night? Please only serious answers.?
My dream was this, I was driving down an interstate and the sun was blinding me and several other drivers. Alot of people were crashing there cars and I went around all the recks. All of a sudden the cops were chasing me. I ended up dying in a car crash and went to heaven. In heaven a girl that I know (and she is not dead) showed me a mailbox where I could look at pictures of my daughter as she grew up. I then looked down from heaven and seen my funeral happening. My coffin was on a horse dron carriage and there was a ton of white flowers. The horse that was pulling my coffin was also white. Is there anyone who can tell me what this means.
I need someone to interpret a dream I had last night? Please only serious answers.?
First, the driving part: You and the other drivers were blinded by the light. This could mean you felt lost, directionless, and surrounded by other lost souls. Perhaps the light represented God, and the cops were demons chasing you (just a thought, I'm not religious, but obviously you are). You died and went to heaven, and a friend was there to help you. Perhaps this friend in real life is someone you consider to be a truly benevolent person, or a true confidant here in your real life. Seeing pictures of your daughter growing up shows that you had not released yourself from the Earth, and were concerned at the goings on back here. Perhaps you worry too much, or have trouble giving up control, and you don't know how your daughter will go on without your help. The white at your funeral represents purity, and possibly also a rebirth. Funerals are almost always black, the fact that you watching from heaven saw only white might mean that your life was starting anew, proof that you believe in an afterlife.
Reply:usually dreams of death really mean the death of a worry or a thought .you know what i mean
Reply:ONLY MY THOUGHTS! Maybe the highway part means your going to fast on life road(highway) ,and need to slow down and live life with meaning.the frind and daughter part my mean that ur friend cared enough to take care of your daughter an show you the progress.For the furneral, allthe white is probably how you interpet godd(heaven).To make you think about all u have done, anything unfinshed,did u live life as you should have.
Hope this is what u wanted!=)
Reply:I'm no psychologist, but I think the car crash denotes a lack of control in your life, and in the lives of those around you. As for the funeral, perhaps it's just as simple as you are afraid to leave your children behind while they are too young.
Reply:is there something going on in your life that you feel is out of control and if you don't get a grip on it it could become fatal?
normally, the driving and crashing of cars means you feel that there is something going on in your life you feel you have no control over.
the death part means that the end of a cycle is coming...something is finally over.
funeral means the end of something and/or confrontation with pain.
white normally means that people can depend on you, perhaps this has something to do with you putting your daughters needs ahead of yours.
hope this helps.
Reply:If you dream of death... it seriously means death of your worries... and problems. so you can cool down now, the color white represents harmony and peace in your life ahead, Horse represents graceful life. DO NOT WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING.... IT IS ALL POSITIVE.!!!
Reply:Realize that you are everything in the dream. The Highway is you, the traffic is you, the crash is you. the little girl is you etc.
Then go from there
Reply:anytime you dream of being in a car this denotes your life, Your driving so you feel in in control, however the sun, the wreck, the cops, they all denote things you feel are hindering you in some part of your life. Seeing your own death probably means some part of your life is over, and you are going to start a new chapter so to speak.

How do i found out how my mum died?
Complecated please read...
my mum died 4 months ago and because I wasn't close to the family I actually found out by my neice through a myspace message.
She was a terrible mother who chose her pervert of a husband over her own flesh and blood...this was the reason for us not being close.
But I would still like answers...as I have children that may need to know one day.
Her dad had seen the death obitury in the newspaper so he knows as much as me regarding her death.
She was married but her husband wasn't mentioned which is odd...nor can I get hold of him by phone so I presume he's no longer living there.
The obitury said she had already picked her flowers and that she had died peacefully...but I need to know how she died.
Ive phoned the funeral directors that was used but they can't help me.
Can anyone please help me decide which route to take in finding how my mum died?
Many thanks xxx
How do i found out how my mum died?
The hospital or morgue might have a record.
Reply:First, I am very sorry for your loss. Terrible or not she was your mom and that has to be very hard for you. The death certificate will have a cause of death on it. As her child you have a legal right to that information. On it will be the medical examiners info. You are also legally entitled to their report. (I am assuming that all states are the same.) I know because I did this to get the information on the death of my daughters biological father, even thou we were never married I had a legal right to this information on my daughters behalf. If I can help, don't hesitate to ask. Good luck!
Reply:if she picked her own flowers then it means she was ill and was expecting to die.
she would have been getting hospital treatment, so couldnt you contact the hostipol she might have been staying at and find out through them. chances are she would have been treated at a hospital close to her home.
other than that the only thing i can suggest isask your neice about her death.. if she knew she died then she must have answers.
Reply:Go to the hospital where she died and speak to the attending Physician, as a family member you do have the legal right to know the cause of death as well as anything they or any other Physician she consulted about her medical condition.
When alive a physician can not tell a non-family member without the written consent of the patient. For family members all physicians need is verbal consent. If the patient is unconcious, the need for verbal consent is not needed and immediate family are automatically informed. After death any immediate family member is entitled by law to know about any medical information that Physicians have on file. I know this from personal experience with the death of one of my parents. My Mom refused to tell me what was wrong with her when she was alive, but I asked for an appointment with her Physician after her death and was given her full medical history. There will be no problem in finding out.
Petermull's suggestion while it will work, the information will be a checked off box. There is a list of causes "natural causes" "trauma from an accident" etc and that's all.
But if you want some advice, it's not usually a good idea. There is an old saying that is very wise, "Let bygones be bygones." Or leave the past in the past.
I think what you are feeling is remorse over your Mom's death. When someone leaves an abusive parent or a parent who chose their abusive husband over protecting their children and then when that parent dies, it leaves the child feeling empty.
The death closes the door finally on hearing that the parent was sorry for what they did. You can now never here that she was sorry for what happened.
An abused child can be 90 years old but down deep inside every day they still ask the question, why? They still don't understand how their parent could do that to them and the longing to be loved by their parent never ends. The pain of that reality never ends It's hard wired into every human being.
No one knows why some parents are destructive to their children but from what I have observed in life, an abused child revisiting the past after the death of their parent will likely do more harm than good.
You might wish to speak to a grief counsellor before going down this road. Your Mom made hurtful choices and the best way to help your children is to get some counselling for yourself to help heal the hurt.
You have my sincere condolences on your loss.
Reply:Are you in the UK - if so, there will be a copy of her death certificate on register. Try the Registrar of Deaths, Births and Marriages in the town where she lived.
I found a web site in the US which seems to give online information - link below.
I hope that helps.

Reply:Secure a copy of the death certificate.
Reply:Ask the morgue for an autopsy report and also try and get a hold of her death certificate
They will more than likely ask for proof of your identity and prove that you are infact her daughter so take your birth certificate and passport with you to the morgue.
Good luck and hope you find out.
Reply:hi Hun...first off id like to say how sorry i am that you have lost your mother,even though you drifted apart but i can understand why you need to know so that you can move on with your life,i think your best bet is to contact a solicitor and try and get them to contact the funeral directors to find out where her body came from..was it her house or hospital..if hospital then they will have information as to how she died as they would of done a autopsy,with your own solicitor on the case you can do this legally and not get doors shut in your face before you even start.
i wish you well and let me know how you get on please...
Reply:Go to the county medical examiner's office with proof of I.D. if she was brought to mortuary.
If she died in a hospital go there, speak to the social work or social services department and see if they may be able to expedite the hospital system for you. At least you might find out why she was admitted.
Another option is to ask you grandfather to try and find out because of their relationship.
Some of your curiosity may also be a way to work out some closure for yourself regarding this awkward and difficult relationship.
I hope you find peace.
Reply:go to the city police and get a police report you may have to pay 15 or more dollars. so sorry for your lost even more sorry that you lost her before she died.
Reply:As a close relative, you will be able to get a copy of the death certificate which will, of course, list the cause of death. Which country are you in?
Reply:applying for a death certificate wont tell you how she died, it will just tell you when she died. you best route i think would be to find out (if you can) what hospital she might have been taken to, or possibly her doctors if you know what surname she was using. you shouldnt have to go into too many details, but as you are just wanting to know how she died her doctors should have this information on their final records, as should the hospital.....good luck with your search, i hope it brings you some kind of peace
Reply:apply for her death crtificate.
Reply:I am sorry she did that too you. Some victims of child abuse and neglect need the closure. Chances are if she picked her flowers she had an extended illness and prepared. As her child you are entiltled to all that information and apply for the death certificate..maybe go visit her grave. Also check if she had a will..if she included you you should have been notified. Something seems odd here.
Reply:the freedom of information act 1982....... if in australia....... get down to a government dept, of somesort, or a courthouse, and talk to a judge, or a solicitor, or your lawyer, or someone in the legal system......due to the freedom of information act, that is in place in what ever country your in, you are able to find these things out, however depending how much you want to find out, there may be some legal stuff you need to go through..... hope that helped..... and sorry for your situation, i do not envy you.....

Reply:Go to the hospital where she died and speak to the attending Physician, as a family member you do have the legal right to know the cause of death as well as anything they or any other Physician she consulted about her medical condition.
When alive a physician can not tell a non-family member without the written consent of the patient. For family members all physicians need is verbal consent. If the patient is unconcious, the need for verbal consent is not needed and immediate family are automatically informed. After death any immediate family member is entitled by law to know about any medical information that Physicians have on file. I know this from personal experience with the death of one of my parents. My Mom refused to tell me what was wrong with her when she was alive, but I asked for an appointment with her Physician after her death and was given her full medical history. There will be no problem in finding out.
Petermull's suggestion while it will work, the information will be a checked off box. There is a list of causes "natural causes" "trauma from an accident" etc and that's all.
But if you want some advice, it's not usually a good idea. There is an old saying that is very wise, "Let bygones be bygones." Or leave the past in the past.
I think what you are feeling is remorse over your Mom's death. When someone leaves an abusive parent or a parent who chose their abusive husband over protecting their children and then when that parent dies, it leaves the child feeling empty.
The death closes the door finally on hearing that the parent was sorry for what they did. You can now never here that she was sorry for what happened.
An abused child can be 90 years old but down deep inside every day they still ask the question, why? They still don't understand how their parent could do that to them and the longing to be loved by their parent never ends. The pain of that reality never ends It's hard wired into every human being.
No one knows why some parents are destructive to their children but from what I have observed in life, an abused child revisiting the past after the death of their parent will likely do more harm than good.
You might wish to speak to a grief counsellor before going down this road. Your Mom made hurtful choices and the best way to help your children is to get some counselling for yourself to help heal the hurt.
You have my sincere condolences on your loss.
Reply:Are you in the UK - if so, there will be a copy of her death certificate on register. Try the Registrar of Deaths, Births and Marriages in the town where she lived.
I found a web site in the US which seems to give online information - link below.
I hope that helps.

Reply:Secure a copy of the death certificate.
Reply:Ask the morgue for an autopsy report and also try and get a hold of her death certificate
They will more than likely ask for proof of your identity and prove that you are infact her daughter so take your birth certificate and passport with you to the morgue.
Good luck and hope you find out.
Reply:hi Hun...first off id like to say how sorry i am that you have lost your mother,even though you drifted apart but i can understand why you need to know so that you can move on with your life,i think your best bet is to contact a solicitor and try and get them to contact the funeral directors to find out where her body came from..was it her house or hospital..if hospital then they will have information as to how she died as they would of done a autopsy,with your own solicitor on the case you can do this legally and not get doors shut in your face before you even start.
i wish you well and let me know how you get on please...
Reply:Go to the county medical examiner's office with proof of I.D. if she was brought to mortuary.
If she died in a hospital go there, speak to the social work or social services department and see if they may be able to expedite the hospital system for you. At least you might find out why she was admitted.
Another option is to ask you grandfather to try and find out because of their relationship.
Some of your curiosity may also be a way to work out some closure for yourself regarding this awkward and difficult relationship.
I hope you find peace.
Reply:go to the city police and get a police report you may have to pay 15 or more dollars. so sorry for your lost even more sorry that you lost her before she died.
Reply:As a close relative, you will be able to get a copy of the death certificate which will, of course, list the cause of death. Which country are you in?
Reply:applying for a death certificate wont tell you how she died, it will just tell you when she died. you best route i think would be to find out (if you can) what hospital she might have been taken to, or possibly her doctors if you know what surname she was using. you shouldnt have to go into too many details, but as you are just wanting to know how she died her doctors should have this information on their final records, as should the hospital.....good luck with your search, i hope it brings you some kind of peace
Reply:apply for her death crtificate.
Reply:I am sorry she did that too you. Some victims of child abuse and neglect need the closure. Chances are if she picked her flowers she had an extended illness and prepared. As her child you are entiltled to all that information and apply for the death certificate..maybe go visit her grave. Also check if she had a will..if she included you you should have been notified. Something seems odd here.
Reply:the freedom of information act 1982....... if in australia....... get down to a government dept, of somesort, or a courthouse, and talk to a judge, or a solicitor, or your lawyer, or someone in the legal system......due to the freedom of information act, that is in place in what ever country your in, you are able to find these things out, however depending how much you want to find out, there may be some legal stuff you need to go through..... hope that helped..... and sorry for your situation, i do not envy you.....

Weird Dream....... sorta scared, wut does it mean?
ok, this is TOTALLY tru,i'm not making it up or anything cuz i hate ppl that make up questions cuz they have nothing better 2 do. anywayz.......
i had this weird dream the other nite that my dad died, and we were holding a funeral 4 him. we put him in a box and sent him out 2 sea and scattered flowers around him, and it wuz really sad and i wuz crying so hard. but then my boyfriend walked up 2 me (still in my dream) and sayz that his dad isn't doing 2 well, and hez going 2 go visit him in California. and that just made me more sad cuz not only had my dad died, but my bf wuz going to be leaving 4 a while as well. so i woke up crying, but by the end of the day had basically almost forgotten all about it.
a couple of dayz later i called my boyfriend's house 2 talk and his step-dad answers the phone and sayz that he is in California visiting his dad 4 the whole summer. i thought it wuz a joke.but dayz went by + i called again. same answer. idk wutz happening. sum1 explain pleez! :)
Weird Dream....... sorta scared, wut does it mean?
you must have tapped into your subconsious where you predicted this. Your dad most likely just represented something male or something strong in your life dissapearing. Maybe like your bfr. Your dad might have represented the presence of your boyfriend. So you most likely already expected him to go to cali because it was your fear. And it came in the dream. bUT WHY Didnt he tell you he was leaving to go to cali? anyway, good luck,
Reply:Dreams are not fiction they are your subconscious. maybe he mentioned it or you over heard it and forgot about it. You knew in the back of your mind though and dreamt it.
Reply:The deaths in your dream reflect your missing someone, and it's clear from your phone call to your boyfriend's home that the person you're missing is him.
It's nothing to worry about; your boyfriend is just very important to you, and you miss him.
Reply:your bf probally mentioned something about going to cali. and you just forgot....
Reply:Okay, I think you have problems. So you didn't know that your boyfriend was going to be gone for the whole summer. That is wierd in itself. I think I would know if my boyfriend was going to be gone for the summer. And dreams are dreams... fiction, nothing more.
Reply:You have experienced an unpredictable fail in a very serious thing (Relationship with a person). You are not able to realize how this happened.
your wondering is "Who has been acting behind the scenes ?". Who fouled up my plan ?.
That is what is upsetting you in real life.
The event :(Your friend leaving with his "dad"), is the way out for you to figure out things.

Reply:just a coincidence i suppose. Some say dreams are time travel, but we have no way of telling. And you must be young because why would your bf just up and leave without telling you. I would be more worried about that then ur dream. Or maybe you were just sleep walking and you had that convo with him about him leaving and thought it was a dream.
Reply:co-incidence!!
Reply:See i had a scary dream to. it depends wat it was. Like if it was a fire it probably repesent something. Dont worry about it to because it was just a dream.

Is sending a thank you card a proper response?
Here's the deal....we had a death in our immediate family (my mother-in-law). We traveled out of state to attend the funeral and to settle her affairs. We have sent thank you cards to everyone who sent flowers, who helped with preparations, etc. We received numerous sympathy cards from co-workers and friends.
My question is this ... is it proper to send a thank-you card in response to a sympathy card? Or do we simply accept the cards with no response from us?
Is sending a thank you card a proper response?
You send thank you cards to the people who .....signed the "book" to thank them for coming....the people who sent flowers...the people who did anything to help your family.
You can thank people who sent cards when you see them but a thank you card is not necessary.
Reply:It's not necessary to send thank you's in response to sympathy cards but it is a nice jesture if you do.It sounds like you've sent all the ones that are really necessary.
Reply:go with what is in your heart to do, i personally did not send thank you cards in response to sympathy cards when my father in law passed away last year. but if you feel you should do it.
Reply:I don't believe that you need to send a thank you card for a card that you received unless they sent you any type of money of gift
Reply:what r u askin? reply is must...%26amp; with your signature( not just a printed card)
Reply:I really think it is cause then they know that you received it and that lets them know that you appreciate there sympathy to all that has happen to you and your family
Reply:In my opinion, it was okay to send those cards
Reply:accept the cards no thank you card after that
Reply:You should send a thank you card just because they went out of their way to send you a sympathy card. If you are close to people you can call them and thank them personally for the card but for people whom you don't know so well you can just send them a thank you for your sympathies card so that they don't think you are ungrateful.
Reply:My grandfather just passed away last week and we also recieved lots of sympathy cards and we haven't sent out any thank you cards. when my mother's father(my other grandfather) passed away last year i don't remember sending any out.
Reply:It is entirely proper (and expected). Simply thank them for their kind thoughts, prayers, etc....Don't say "Thanks for the card"
Reply:It is not necessary to send thank you notes to anyone sending a simple sympathy card. If however, money was enclosed for a memorial gift then one is appropriate. I'm sorry for your loss.

What do/can/will you bring if you go 2 cemetery to visit your friends grave?
well this is my first doing it and i dk wat to bring..
i want to bring like flowers but like is der a specific color i have to bring?
like u know at the funeral u need to have white..
well do i still need to bring white? or i can bring red?
What do/can/will you bring if you go 2 cemetery to visit your friends grave?
flowers of any kind are perfect. also, it is nice to bring a candle and light it while you are visiting the grave. you can then leave it there lit, or bring it back with you and reuse it the next time you visit the grave.
Reply:Really it depends on the person. Unfortunely I had to make the same desesion. I brought flowers, but also something that made me think of the good times with that person.
Reply:I would bring roses, its a universal flower that represents and symbolizes love for the reciever.
Reply:Take whatever flowers you feel appropriate, bright colourful ones may suit someone who was a bright happy person, try sunflowers , or daffodils.
You can take anything you wish to share with that person, a card, toy, note.
Just be aware that some cemetaries don't let you leave anything except flowers on a grave site - they clear other things away, so for a first visit, flowers would be a very nice idea.
Sorry for your loss.
Reply:Bring whatever color you want to it doesn't matter as long as you are visting the grave of a friend. Sorry to hear about the loss.
Reply:A simple like bouquet of flowers would be like really nice. No like specific color is like important. Like red is like OK too.
Reply:I feel horrible i hate going to funerals :(
Reply:I take a bottle of Jack Daniels. Because every time me and my friend hung out we usually drank some Jack. I then proceed to consume about half the bottle reminiscing and then I share the other half with my buddy.
Reply:Take flowers for the season. Or a flower that your friend liked.

You hit on the midwife while your wife was in labor.
You married your wife for her socket set.
Your favorite cologne is Deep Woods Off.
You think "showing a girl a good time" means letting her bait the hook.
You gave your wife a glue gun for your anniversary.
You've ever won a wedding ring in a poker game.
Truckers tell your wife to watch her language.
You had a marriage license before you had a driver's license.
You've ever told a bride, "You clean up pretty good."

Do you like redneck humor....?

Your belt buckle cost more than the wedding ring.
Is absolutely true in my case!

What do you understand from this poem regarding to the complex make up of man kind?
I have to write an essay about this poem but I don't understand it,and I appreciate your help.
Street Funeral by Irving Layton:
Tired of chewing
the flesh
of other animals;
Tired of subreption and conciet
of the child's
bewildered conscience
failing heart valves
septic kidneys...
This frosty morning the coffin wood bursting into brilliant flowers'
Is he glad
that after all the lecheries'
betryals,subserviency,
After all the lusts,
false starts,evasions
he can begin
the unobstructed change
into clean grass
Done forever
with the insult
of birth,
the long adultery
with illusion?
What do you understand from this poem regarding to the complex make up of man kind?
Hmmm, interesting poem. It sounds like its main focus is man and his corrupted behavior. it sounds like society has taken a toll on his spirit and hes changed, but has been able to recognize his change and learn from his mistakes and become a better person because of it.....
Reply:Its about the dichotomy of bieng human, ie having to eat drink poop, have sex, experience lust, ambition etc etc, and yet having a spiritual side which seems to watch all this brutal behaviour, and despair, which is something we can feel, its like having a disapproving granny looking over our shoulder all the time, all the animal traits we have which stop us from attaining true spiritual enlightenment, fall away when the frail body is gone, all the illness and pain mental and bodily are all gone, and we can start again without the burden of it.
Thats my take on it anyway, dont like the poem much tho, its a bit random.
Reply:It's crap. Utter bilge.
To this day, I'm absolutely mystified how people get away with stringing random, unconnected words together in such a haphazard fashion, and calling it 'free verse'.
There is no artistry, no skill, no soul involved in any part of this. It is a slush-pile of arrogance and conceit.
Reply:Sounds to me like a man whose depressed; has a bad heart, and is dying. He either isn't sure to be glad to die so the suffering will be over, or to fight it and live longer.

Simple poem game?
It has to have 5,6 or 7 stanzas and 4,5 or/and 6 lines. The poem "has to make sense" (every poem has sense but if it is surreal not most people understand as I talked to somebody and I know this)
This is the start:
Red flowers from a white painting
were falling on the noisy floor
sitting in a sanatorium.
- the rain was leaping
on the funeral window
without the light
it had some years ago.

He looks out of the blank window
And remembers a different time
A different world
When the bright colours danced
A glorious wave of frothy cheer
A dizzying dream of unberable sweetness
There was some years ago.
Yet how the times had changed
alone, on silent sentry
enveloped by this gloom
of sorrow manifest
clouded by foreboding.
bursting beams of light
break through in memories, long since past
but to be consumed once more

I just heard that my cousin died yesterday.?
I'm not quite sure what to do, do I send flowers or a card or what.? We live 3000 kilometers apart , so there is no way I can go to her funeral
I just heard that my cousin died yesterday.?
There's no "proper" or "right" thing to do here.
*hugs*
Express your condolences as you feel is right. Your family 3000 km away will know that you are there giving your love and support - whether that's through a card, flowers, phone call, or however way you reach out to them - they will know you are there sending well wishes. It's not what you send or do...it's that you're doing and/or sending anything at all that will matter.
I'm sorry to hear about your loss. *hugs again*
Reply:one of my questions would be, were you two close? If you kept in close contact w/each other I would send flowers and a card to the family. I would send a card either way.
Reply:sorry for your loss. if the family is Jewish, do not send flowers (it is offensive). otherwise, flowers and a card would be a nice gesture
Your family knows how far you are and should understand that you can not make it
Reply:flowers and a sympathy card would be a very nice gesture.sorry for your loss.
Reply:I'm sorry to hear that. I would send a card with a written message. Flowers are also a nice gesture.
Reply:Yes, flowers and a card would be a very nice gesture since you can't be there in person. Or even a gift basket with the card would be nice. It could be a plant basket, a fruit basket, or something with snacks like cheese, ham, crackers, etc.
Reply:Ouch..Sorry bout that. she'll probably won't know what you bring her, but if it makes you happy.
Reply:Flowers and a card a definitely nice. Sincere condolences are what is most important.

Grieving family. Tragic death of an infant! What can I do?
My boyfriend's grandson just died yesterday. He was 8 months old. He jumped out of his crib and suffocated in some pillows. His daughter is torn apart. The funeral is Saturday and Mother's Day is Sunday. She also has a 3 year old boy. My boyfriend drove 9 hours to be there. He is treating his daughter and son-in-law to massages. He is getting her a locket of both the boys. I sent flowers and a card and money. People have brought them food. I just don't feel like I've done enough and I want to do more. I can't be there because of work and financial issues. I feel so hopeless. I could never imagine losing my child! Does anyone have any comforting words or suggestions that I can offer them in this horrible time? Is there anything I can do from here. I don't have a lot of money but I have a lot of love to give.
Grieving family. Tragic death of an infant! What can I do?
I am So Very Sorry for this loss.
I have experienced a loss myself.
Keep checking in on them. Even 3 months, 6 months down the line. After about a month it starts to feel like everyone has forgotten and that is very depressing. Put the baby's birthday in your calendar and remember to honor it. And on other holidays as well. Talk about baby. It may hurt but one of the most important things is that others don't forget. And when people are awkward about the loss it is harder. Avoid using cliches when talking about the loss such as "it was Gods will" etc... Its important they don't feel like it was their fault.
You may want to gather a list of resources in your area and offer it to the family. Lost cost counselors, support groups, etc..
Also there are some herbs that are Extremely helpful during this time:
1. Ignatia (Homeopathy for loss of an infant child specifically)
2. Rescue Remedy (Stress reliever)
3. Valerian (Sleep aid)
4. Nettle tea (mix with mint and raspberry leaves)
5. Tincture of Lemon Balm 6pts %26amp; Motherwort 2pts
You can find them all online or in a health store.
Feel free to email me with questions etc...

"Weeping may last for the night, but a shout of joy comes in the morning” (Psalm 30:5)
Reply:I dont think anyone should feel guilty, altho I have learned it is one of the many steps to acceptance.
Just be there for them to talk to, sending flowers and a card was a great idea.
If you are creative you could write them a poem,
I lost my granma and grandpa to cancer, I know its not the same as losing a baby, that would literaly break my heart, but my point is there isnt really much you can do, just have an open ear and shoulder to cry on. I hated it when people would try to comfort me too much about my grandparents, sometimes people just need to be alone.
I am really sorry to hear about this. A lady at my sisters daycare lost her baby that was only a few weeks old to SIDS. I can only imagine what that must feel like, if anything happened to my daughter I would probably feel dead inside.
Try to be a little cheerful, best of wishes to you and the family!
Reply:What a sad story!!! I lost my 7 month old daughter due to a heart defect/surgery back in 1984. I know how tragic the death of an infant is... It's hard to be there for someone, when you can't be with them. When you do see the parents, be sure to openly speak about the child and your memories of the child. Even though family and friends ease the pain of the loss, the parents have to deal with it themselves. It will be a long grieving process, it will subside with time but it will never go away. Try suggesting "Compassionate Friends", a meeting group for anyone who's lost a child, no matter what age...
Reply:My mother lost my brother when he was 30 days old, on Christmas because of SIDS disease, a year before I was born. Now Christmas is understandably a difficult time for her, and I understand how you feel. All you can do is offer her words of comfort and let her know you are there for her (emotional/mental) support if she needs it. That's what someone who is going through something like this needs, not casseroles or money. Be understanding, and not condescending, that's really all you can do for her. Sometimes you'll feel like your not doing enough, but your doing all anyone can. I am so sorry this happened to her, and I wish you all the best of luck
Reply:My heart goes out to you and your family. As someone who has lost a child please let me assure you that there are no magic words that take away the hurt, but just knowing that your love is strong is very important. Send a letter expressing your feelings and check in with the bereaved parents frequently. Practical help such as food, money, etc really does help as the family will be in turmoil for some time. Remember that they will be suffering this loss for years. From my perspective it is ok for you to remember the baby when you speak to them. If they want to talk you can share all of your memories of their beautiful baby. However, they may also be very angry, guilty feeling, have marriage problems, etc. that will arise from this tragedy. Just be there for them in whatever way you are able.
Reply:The children's Christmas is simple and bright
They sing the music, they laugh in the light,
Sparkling colors are a magical spell,
Their instant joy flows bubbling and well.
But round that tree I see a space,
Beside the table an empty place,
A voice is missing, a form of grace,
The sweetness of a little lost face.
A vacuum was left by the child who's gone;
Though all seems right, yet it's terribly wrong.
I'd give up my Christmas, and gaiety fine,
To clasp that small hand again in mine.
I knew of girl who lost a child once and this was a poem I found for her to help her get through the pain. I understand how hard it is to cope and the hopelessness may last for a while...it is important to find solace in something that brings you comfort, such as poetry.
Remember: Heaven is not far and it only takes a lifetime to get there; that is not very long. Your loved ones will be waiting there for you.
Reply:I'm very sorry for the whole family, this must be a terrible time for everyone. I think most people have already said what I would have said, offer support and just let them know that you're there and to ask if they want/need anything. Money wont help at all although a small gift and definitely a card to show you're thinking of them may offer some solace. Nothing you do will ever feel enough, you cant bring their little boy back and that is the only thing that would make everything better. They will come to terms with this loss and it will get easier as time passes. Just keep on doing what you're doing, they could ask no more.
Reply:in times like these, people don't really know what to say. It also depends on the individual you are trying to console. Whatever the reaction is you need to reassure them that you will do everything in your power to support and help the family through this hour of need. Trying calling her on the phone to let her know she can count on you. Also try making something for her like a home made card of a basket with items like massaging oils, scented candles and fruit. Believe me there is nothing a person likes more than a little reassurance and a small gift. It tells people you care for them and are trying to understand how they feel. Good luck, and remember it probably not that easy at first, be patient.

Do I have a right to annoyed by this?
My grandfather passed away a couple of months ago, there was no funeral but I drove to see my mother almost 4 hours away to help with buriel arrangements. During this time my BF was great with me offered anything I needed but he never once offered his condolences to my grieveing mother, he even saw her less then 2 weeks later.
A couple of days ago his friends mother passed away (a friend that he talks to about every 2 months and sees about twice a year) and he has chipped in on flowers and gone to the visitation.
I don't know exactly what I feel but I am annoyed that he did not seem to care much about my mothers feelings (I even asked if he said anything to remind him, my mother was VERY offended) but he seems to be going all out for this friend.
Do I have a right to be annoyed?
p.s.- I haven't said anything to him yet in case I am being foolish
Do I have a right to annoyed by this?
maybe he didnt mean to be rude maybe he was just uncomfortable, i mean maybe he was nervous to speak about it with your mother incase she got upset.
it is rude, id be the same as you but im sure hes just tried to keep his distance cos if hes never met your grandfather or only on a few occasions maybe he felt like he was out of place and was invading space if you get what i mean.
wheras if he knows his friends mother fairly well or if there were other friends of his involved then he would feel abit more comfortable.
if i were you id just talk to him,an im sure he didnt in any way mean to upset you or your mother hes just being slightly incosiderate.
good luck and sorry for your loss
Reply:I don't think you should be upset! People deal with situations differently. He may have felt like she might have been offended or stepping on her toes if he had stepped in or tried to help. People are extremely moody and tend to overreact when they're in a situation like that. Just understand that if you're in a new relationship, or maybe he doesn't know you're mother well.. he was simply trying to be respectful and not step on toes! The friend situation was different because he probably felt like he knew them better and knew it wouldn't offend anyone! My great uncle passed away a few months ago,and because my bf and I haven't been together very long, he allowed me and my mother to go together, as he felt that was not the most suiting way to meet most of my family! I wasn't the least bit upset and completely understood his point of view. I hope you realize that he was probably just trying to be careful what he did, and be happy that he was there for you like he was!
Reply:Yeah.. don't say anything. Maybe he just didn't remember to console your ma. I find it weird she was more focused on him not extending his condolences to her than on her dead mother. This is a little ridiculous, just move on. What gives you the right to say how he should act when 2 different people die? Be annoyed if you want, but keep it to yourself. I'd be pretty upset if my "friend" approached me angrily because of something like this.
Reply:I would not be upset if it were me. He showed he loves you by supporting you through this whole thing. By not going out of his way to show your mother his condolences is not necessarily a bad thing. Maybe he's not that comfortable with talking to her and obviously with the friend he is. You should let him know that you were concerned about this and get his response and go from there.
Reply:Maybe he just didn't know what to say. Deaths are always hard. It is really hard to find the right words. Maybe he was scared she would cry if he mentioned it.
Perhaps you could just politely mention that your mother was upset he never said anything and maybe you could suggest he gives her a bunch of flowers and card or something.
I'm sure he wasn't being rude.
Reply:what did you expect him to do?
Reply:ask him to offer condolences, but don't make a big deal out of it,everyone's feelings are hurt at the moment.
Reply:I can understand what your saying in a way. But it's almost like your fighting over people who died. Like this persons family got flowers but this persons did not. Lets rumble!
Death is a hard thing for some people. He may not know how to handle it with your family as chances are he did not know your grandfather much, and may not know your mother much. (I assume since she lives 4 hours away). Yes it would have been nice for her to send her flowers or somthing. But he may just not have known how to handle it.
I would really give him the benifit of a doubt and think that he didnt mean anything bad about it.
Reply:Hi hun know exactly where your coming from!!
Hmm Yes i do think you have every right to be angry i tell you for why!
The ones you think who would offer their condolences Dont! Disgraceful
I myself Lost my Nana-and 2 Aunties in the same year and not one of my hubbys relations who we bother with rang to say how sorry they were to hear my devastating News!Which i was very close to them who i had lost
My hubbys mother %26amp; father were the ones who got me so angry by not saying im sorry kay you have had enough bad luck this year nope they said nothing and i mean nothing to me when i said ive had enough
And to hear my hubby tell me his repulsive parents had said well her aunties smoked didnt they I was sooooooooo Angry thats all they could say!
They couldnt say why my nan had died as the old dear was 86 years old and had a great innings but your never prepared are you
So the answer to your question hunni no your not being foolish if you are then does that mean i am? xx
Reply:Depending on how long you've been together and how well he knows your mother, he could just be very uncomfortable in that situation. It's never an excuse, but it can help explain where he's coming from a bit.
I am pretty close with my boyfriend's family, but my boyfriend is still a bit ancy around my parents. I'm sure he'd feel odd at a similar scenario, but I do think he'd at least offer condolences or get a card or something along those lines.
Death is a hard thing to cope with, for immediate family members, and to all those who have to console them. Cut him some slack, but also make sure he knows that you were upset that he didn't step up and give you mom a "hang in there" hug.
So basically I agree with you but can understand where he may be coming from.

A couple of days ago his friends mother passed away (a friend that he talks to about every 2 months and sees about twice a year) and he has chipped in on flowers and gone to the visitation.
I don't know exactly what I feel but I am annoyed that he did not seem to care much about my mothers feelings (I even asked if he said anything to remind him, my mother was VERY offended) but he seems to be going all out for this friend.
Do I have a right to be annoyed?
p.s.- I haven't said anything to him yet in case I am being foolish

What can I write....?
My daughter's partner's mum passed away and the funeral is on Wednesday. I had only met his parents twice because of distance between us. I would like to send some flowers. As I did not know her very well, what would be appropriate to write on the card? Serious answers only please. Thanks.
What can I write....?
Doint send the flowers to the funeral, send them to the couple that you are thinking about at this time, keep the massage brief.
Reply:As you are actually writing a message directly to the deceased perhaps something like Sleep Well and add your name(s) or simply a message saying With Deepest Sympathy or if you still wish to get personal something like So sad we didn't get the time to get to know each other better.
Reply:"I didnt know her well, but she was a great woman. I am sorry for your lose, if you need anything Im here."
Reply:"Sorry for your loss, my thoughts are with you and your family."
Reply:We are very sorry for your loss.
Reply:just something simple like "thinking of you at this time" with you not knowing them well this should be enough
Reply:When you say you met his parents twice, were these encounters simply a hello and goodbye or did you spend any time having a conversation with them?
Even cliches like 'sorry for your loss' or 'my thoughts are with you and your family' are meaningful to people who are emotionally vulnerable and in need of support, but you could try and draw on specific things you remember from when you met the parents.
e.g. 'I will cherish the memory of meeting ....such a wonderful, gentle, kind person, with a beautiful bright smile, great fashion sense, who has done such a perfect job in raising her lovely son, who she can be proud of...before moving on to pastures new...' for example.
It might help to use a thesaurus to come up with kind words to use. But do try and overcome any awkwardness you may feel and make the words heartfelt. Your daughter's partner and his father will appreciate it

Mom married the Devil (weird and scary dream)?
I have had many strange dreams over the years. One is a reoccurring dream , some have came true like a premonition or something. But one dream really bothered me for a long time, and I have just started telling about it years later. In this dream I was standing in front of a church and my mom came outside to get me to come in . She was wearing a wedding dress. I kept asking her who she was marrying , she wouldnt tell me, but she seemed happy. As I walk inside, I notice that its a funeral home (not a church). I see a preacher talking to the groom (whos back is turned to me). Room is dim, flowers everywhere, lots of candles , red drapes cover the walls. We are the only ones there ( that I noticed). As my mom starts to introduce me to the groom , he turns around and its the devil (he looked normal from behind). Thats when I woke screaming. My mom had been dead for 2 years at the time of this dream. Can someone tell me what this means? I have tons of questions about this dream.
Mom married the Devil (weird and scary dream)?
How was your love life at the moment of this dream ' /Because its like your mother was warning you against a man or a person who cause you lot of suffering %26gt; Also its like ; well at least its a possibility that you had been abuse sexually : I maybe wrong ; but dreaming about the devil is always something big who had happen in the persons life
Reply:wow, i have no idea, but surely CREEPY!
i'm sorry your mother passed away.
and i hope you find out about this dream!
Reply:That would've freaked me out! Maybe your subconscious is worried about your mother's afterlife....that she didn't go to Heaven but instead went to live with the devil. Hell is supposedly full of fire and stuff and you said there were lots of candles. Since fire is red in scary drawings, the red drapes are explained. Also, Hell is supposedly dark, which explains the dim light. So, my guess is your subconcsious is worried about your mom's afterlife.

Thank you, I love getting up and finding things like this. A shrink years ago suggested that everyone read the funny's in the newspaper every morning. He said studies had found people who started their days with a laugh, had lower blood pressure, was less likely to have a heart attack that day, less likely to have a stroke that day. Was more pleasant to work for on that day, and more likely to get more work done. Children who read them or even had them read to them had better results on tests and we less likey to fight with sibblings.
I have tried to to that every day, some days I don't and I always wonder if I was more of a grump that day? Thank you again for starting my day off with a good laugh.

I am worried about the fate of my one time nemisis...Please help!?
Casey Culligan, the sleazy local funeral director that stole my precious white trailer trash, dyed blonde haired, toothless, tobacco chewing ex g/f has taken a turn for the worst. The doctors are baffled because he appears to have a massive rectal infection. I decided to send him a get well card due to my concerns....along with a poem
The cards shows some daisies..and when you open it--
It Says---
Spring is in full swing
Flowers are in the air
You shouldn't be putting your thing
into my precious mare
the itch that you feel
was intended for a rat
So the next time you try to steal
Just remember that
Should I add another line?? Also, should I sign it? What about the doctors, should I give them a heads up on the rat poison? Your thoughts//
I am worried about the fate of my one time nemisis...Please help!?
Snizz I have a washing machine in my porch its the rolling kind too so cool...
anywho...Don't sign it let it be a secret admirer thang...but do add another line to make it more spicy..
I hope for the best
but expect the worse
true love only comes to nerds..
you stolen my heart
for that live like a rat..
try that..
Reply:Sounds perfectly eloquent to Wonder.
May I also have a copy to send to the trailer trash orchard people, who allow their freaking dogs to poop in Wonder's yard 47 times a day?
Also, how do I get rat poison in their food?

What does this poem mean?
The flowers sent here by mistake,
signed with a name that no one knew,
are turning bad. What shall we do?
Our neighbor says they're not for her,
and no one has a birthday near.
We should thank someone for the blunder.
Is one of us having an affair?
At first we laugh, and then we wonder.
The iris was the first to die,
enshrouded in its sickly-sweet
and lingering perfume. The roses
fell one petal at a time,
and now the ferns are turning dry.
The room smells like a funeral,
but there they sit, too much at home,
accusing us of some small crime,
like love forgotten, and we can't
throw out a gift we've never owned.
What does this poem mean?
Someone sent a flower to the wrong place, and they don't know what to do with it, so they just leave it there to die.
Sad really. :(

signed with a name that no one knew,
are turning bad. What shall we do?
Our neighbor says they're not for her,
and no one has a birthday near.
We should thank someone for the blunder.

Do you like "The Lady Of Shalott?
On either side of the river lie
Long fields of barley and of rye,
That clothe the wold and meet the sky;
And through the field the road runs by
To many-towered Camelot;
And up and down the people go,
Gazing where the lilies blow
Round an island there below,
The island of Shalott.1
Willows whiten, aspens quiver,
Little breezes dusk and shiver
Through the wave that runs for ever
By the island in the river
Flowing down to Camelot.
Four gray walls, and four gray towers,
Overlook a space of flowers,
And the silent isle imbowers
The Lady of Shalott.
By the margin, willow veiled
Slide the heavy barges trailed
By slow horses; and unhailed
The shallop flitteth silken-sailed
Skimming down to Camelot:
But who hath seen her wave her hand?
Or at the casement seen her stand? 25
Or is she known in all the land,
The Lady of Shalott?
Only reapers, reaping early
In among the bearded barley,
Hear a song that echoes cheerly
From the river winding clearly,
Down to towered Camelot:
And by the moon the reaper weary,
Piling sheaves in uplands airy,
Listening, whispers "'Tis the fairy
Lady of Shalott."
Part II
There she weaves by night and day
A magic web with colours gay.
She has heard a whisper say,
A curse is on her if she stay
To look down to Camelot.
She knows not what the curse may be,
And so she weaveth steadily,
And little other care hath she,
The Lady of Shalott.
And moving through a mirror clear
That hands before her all the year,
Shadows of the world appear.
There she sees the highway near
Winding down to Camelot: 50
There the river eddy whirls,
And there the curly village-churls,
And the red cloaks of market girls,
Pass onward from Shalott.
Sometimes a troop of damsels glad,
An abbot on an ambling pad,
Sometimes a curly shepherd-lad,
Or long-haired page in crimson clad,
Goes by to towered Camelot;
And sometimes through the mirror blue
The knights come riding two and two:
She hath no loyal knight and true,
The Lady of Shalott.
But in her web she still delights
To weave the mirror's magic sights,
For often through the silent nights
A funeral, with plumes and lights
And music, went to Camelot:
Or when the moon was overhead,
Came two young lovers lately wed;
"I am half sick of shadows," said
The Lady of Shalott.
Part III
A bow-shot from her bower-eaves,
He rode between the barley-sheaves,
The sun came dazzling through the leaves, 75
And flamed upon the brazen greaves
Of bold Sir Lancelot.
A red-cross knight for ever kneeled
To a lady in his shield,
That sparkled on the yellow field,
Beside remote Shalott.
The gemmy bridle glittered free,
Like to some branch of stars we see
Hung in the golden Galaxy.
The bridle bells rang merrily
As he rode down to Camelot:
And from his blazoned baldric slung
A mighty silver bugle hung,
And as he rode his armour rung,
Beside remote Shalott.
All in the blue unclouded weather
Thick-jewelled shone the saddle-leather,
The helmet and the helmet-feather
Burned like one burning flame together,
As he rode down to Camelot.
As often through the purple night,
Below the starry clusters bright,
Some bearded meteor, trailing light,
Moves over still Shalott.
His broad clear brow in sunlight glow'd; 100
On burnished hooves his war-horse trode;
From underneath his helmet flowed
His coal-black curls as on he rode,
As he rode down to Camelot.
From the bank and from the river
He flashed into the crystal mirror,
"Tirra lira," by the river
Sang Sir Lancelot.
She left the web, she left the loom,
She made three paces through the room,
She saw the water-lily bloom,
She saw the helmet and the plume,
She looked down to Camelot.
Out flew the web and floated wide;
The mirror cracked from side to side;
"The curse is come upon me," cried
The Lady of Shalott.
Part IV
In the stormy east-wind straining,
The pale yellow woods were waning,
The broad stream in his banks complaining,
Heavily the low sky raining
Over towered Camelot;
Down she came and found a boat
Beneath a willow left afloat,
And round about the prow she wrote 125
The Lady of Shalott.
And down the river's dim expanse
Like some bold seer in a trance,
Seeing all his own mischance —
With a glassy countenance
Did she look to Camelot.
And at the closing of the day
She loosed the chain, and down she lay;
The broad stream bore her far away,
The Lady of Shalott.
Lying, robed in snowy white
That loosely flew to left and right —
The leaves upon her falling light —
Through the noises of the night
She floated down to Camelot:
And as the boat-head wound along
The willowy hills and fields among,
They heard her singing her last song,
The Lady of Shalott.
Heard a carol, mournful, holy,
Chanted loudly, chanted lowly,
Till her blood was frozen slowly,
And her eyes were darkened wholly,
Turned to towered Camelot.
For ere she reached upon the tide 150
The first house by the water-side,
Singing in her song she died,
The Lady of Shalott.
Under tower and balcony,
By garden-wall and gallery,
A gleaming shape she floated by,
Dead-pale between the houses high,
Silent into Camelot.
Out upon the wharfs they came,
Knight and burgher, lord and dame,
And round the prow they read her name,
The Lady of Shalott.
Who is this? and what is here?
And in the lighted palace near
Died the sound of royal cheer;
And they crossed themselves for fear,
All the knights at Camelot:
But Lancelot mused a little space;
He said, "She has a lovely face;
God in his mercy lend her grace,
The Lady of Shalott."

The imagery is profoundly sexual. The lady looks at the world through a mirror, which is the symbol of virginity. For poets and mythopoeists alike, the shattering of a mirror is the loss of viginity (hymen breaking), and this is what will happen to the Lady if she looks directly at the world (specifically Launcelot). As soon as she does so, "the mirror crack'd from side to side" -- in poetic terms, she has succumbed to a sexual relationship with him, and must bear the consequences.
There is even more subtle imagery in this poem, not normally visible to most (especially those writing essays for English classes). Look at these lines, ostensibly describing Sir Launcelot:
"He rode between the barley-sheaves,
The sun came dazzling through the leaves,
And flamed upon the brazen greaves
Of bold Sir Lancelot.
A red-cross knight for ever kneeled
To a lady in his shield,
That sparkled on the yellow field,
Beside remote Shalott."
This is not the shield device of Launcelot! The shield device of Launcelot is a set of black and silver chevrons. Tennyson was steeped in Arthurian lore and imagery, and knew this (he also wrote The Idylls of the King). The symbol of a knight clothed in a tunic bearing a red cross on it, kneeling before a lady (the Virgin Mary), is the device of King Arthur, not Sir Launcelot. The hidden reference is to Tennyson's dearest friend, Arthur Henry Hallam, who died whilst a student at university, and whose death resulted in the greatest series of elegiac poems ever written, Tennyson's "In Memoriam".
A very strange poem, with more layers to it than are commonly supposed.
Reply:The singer Lorena mckennit did an amazing version of this poem as a song and it is so lovely it almost breaks the heart. made me look at the poem anew.
Reply:amazing poem i saw the painting first
very sad indeed.
the poem ends with the tragic triviality of Lancelot's response to her tremendous passion: all he has to say about her is that "she has a lovely face" . Having abandoned her artistry, the Lady of Shalott becomes herself an art object; no longer can she offer her creativity, but merely a "dead-pale" beauty
Reply:I love it.
I think that 'When the moon lay overhead, Came two young lovers lately wed, 'I am half sick of shadows' said the Lady of Shallot is one of the most beautiful lines ever.
But you try teaching the poem to girls and you get to 'The curse is come upon me' and they just laugh.

I also loved Masefields "Reynard the fox" despite the sad and cruel end, and was strangely moved by Brocks "Five ways to Kill a man" and "Song of the battery hen". These two poems broke my erstwhile belief that poetry should be beautiful and allowed me to explore the darker side of poetry which opened huge chasms of emotional feelings that had not previousl;y been unlocked.
Reply:I like it. We discussed it in my English class. The Lady of Shalott never experiences life except through glancing at it through the mirror's reflection, in the reflection of Lancelot's armour, in the reflection on the lake.
