These roses were from a funeral today and someone would like to preserve the petals for use in about a month for their flower girl to throw.
How can I preserve Rose Petals for use at a wedding for a flower girl to throw?
You can preserve them in a flower preservative that dries out the moisture.This product is called 'silica gel desiccant', and it is available in larger craft stores. The flowers will loose some of their color and become very fragile.There will be nothing left after they are walked on. Someone mentioned putting them in a glass bowl around a votive candle. You could place it on the table where you have your guest book. The petals would still be at the ceremony, but wouldn't be destroyed.
Reply:I have many dried rose petals from roses my husband has given me. All you have to do is separate the roses and put them in a fairly dry place. In about two weeks they will be dry enough to pull the petals off. I put mine in a bowl with a candle holder in the middle. Some of the rose petals are over 10 years old, and they are fine.
Reply:the best thing to do would be to either press them in a book and keep it there or pile them up and keep them in a water-filled vase.
Reply:PUT THEM IN THE FREEZER YOU DOPE!!(PUT PLASTIC WRAP OVER THE BOWL)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DONT PUT THEM IN A BOOK BECAUSE WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OUT THEY WILL TURN TO DUST!!!!
Reply:freeze them maybe be put them in water and then freeze them . pressing them in a book is usually a good idea to preserve flowers but only if you want them dried. that's kinda tough. I've never tried to save flowers for that long with out pressing them. good luck.

Push grows for Diana statue in Paris
Some fans say permanent memorial should be erected in city of her death
The Associated Press
Updated: 6:43 a.m. PT Aug 30, 2007
PARIS - At a golden statue of a flickering flame, fans of Princess Diana pay homage to her in Paris, leaving behind poems and prayers even now, 10 years after she died nearby.
A French child’s collage proclaims her “unforgettable.” An Italian fan scrawls, “I still love you.”
But contrary to popular belief, the statue wasn’t built for Diana; it was merely appropriated by her fans.
With the 10th anniversary of her death on Friday, a few fans say it’s time she had a Paris monument in her honor — something permanent, unlike the memorabilia swept away regularly by trash collectors — and they have begun a fundraising drive.
‘Shocking and flagrant’
Dominique de Fontenay says he thinks about Diana every day as he passes through the Pont d’Alma traffic tunnel where she died in a car crash, and he is always struck by the lack of a monument.
“That seems shocking and flagrant, given Diana’s notoriety and the love that most people all over the world felt for her,” said de Fontenay, a 34-year-old event planner who conceived the project.
De Fontenay teamed up with a jeweler and sculptor, Xavier de Fraissinette, who sketched out ideas for a bronze statue of a suit-clad Diana reaching out to a small child holding a bouquet.
“The hardest thing will be getting her expression, her smile, her face right,” said de Fraissinette, who designed a sculpture for the Lyon, France, meeting of the Group of Seven industrialized nations in 1996. “It must not be a mortuary monument, she must be natural.”
Raising money, slowly
After a few mentions in the local press, about 150 people have donated a total of $9,500, the two said. Building the statue will require $240,000, said de Fontenay, a Diana fan who remembers joining up with crowds to mourn the princess after the Aug. 31, 1997, crash that killed her, her boyfriend Dodi Fayed and their chauffeur, Henri Paul.
“I think everyone on the planet who had a heart was depressed that day, or at least filled with a great sadness,” said de Fontenay, who named his cat “Princess” in Diana’s honor.
The plans by de Fontenay and de Fraissinette are in the early stages and do not have approval from Paris City Hall, where the press office said officials were not aware of their campaign. The process could be long, and they will need approval from the city council.
De facto memorial
For now, the torch statue near the traffic tunnel remains the de facto memorial. A replica of the Statue of Liberty’s torch, it was donated in 1987 by the International Herald Tribune newspaper as a symbol of French-American friendship.
Ten years later, mourners turned the torch into a Diana shrine, which seemed fitting because Elton John sang “Candle in the Wind” at her funeral in London’s Westminster Abbey.
On any given afternoon, dozens of tourists crowd around the torch, snapping pictures and leaving behind cellophane-wrapped roses. After posing for a snapshot, 29-year-old Arijit Ray of London said he wished de Fontenay and de Fraissinette luck.
“There should be a statue,” he said.
De Fontenay already has a spot picked out — a grassy garden right above the tunnel where the crash took place.
“It’s all ready. There are flowers. All that’s missing is Diana,” he said.

O me readcan you explain this ting to me and make it clear as possible?
So basically, the article is talking about this torch statue in France near where Diana died, that people usually associate with her and go to to pay tribute to her. However its really "a replica of the Statue of Liberty’s torch, [which was] was donated in 1987 by the International Herald Tribune newspaper as a symbol of French-American friendship." Apparently people confuse it to be hers because of Elton John's tribute to her, the song "candle in the wind".
So there are a bunch of people, led by this man, Dominique de Fontenay, who want to pay artist Xavier de Fraissinettea lot of money ($240,000) to build a statue of Diana reaching out to a child with a bouquet of flowers, so people can really have a place to go and honor her life. So far, about 150 people have raised $9,500, but want more money.
If you're having problems with translating the article or because you're in the process of learning English, tell me and I'll help however I can.
Reply:I don't understand what you don't understand, so I can't explain it. It seems perfectly clear to me, even if you don't agree with it. What exactly is it that you want to know?
Reply:why was she so important? is a better question
Reply:What's not to understand? A lot of people still remember her fondly, and she died in their country, so they want a monument.

How often to visit mom's grave site?
I feel really bad, I haven't been to my mom's gravesite since her funeral. I don't think she is really there and haven't wanted to make the 90 minute trip. I feel like all I need to do is to talk to her from wherever I am. I will obviously go on her birthday and Mothers Day, but I'm wondering how others feel about how often I should go "spend time with her". I really don't think that she is laying there in that spot and not able to connect with me from wherever I am but I also don't want to "ignore" her grave site as far as flowers, etc, it's just that I live 90 minutes away and can't get there every weekend.
How often to visit mom's grave site?
Monthly. Set aside a weekend for it. Like the third Saturday of every month or something.
Reply:dont feel bad...it is some distance.....i am sure you can still talk to her from where you are....her body may be buried but i am sure she is everywhere with you........maybe you should pay a visit soon then as you said on her b'day and mothers day ect.....
Reply:Go once a year, every year, on Mother's Day.
Her birthday can be optional...
depending on how you feel at the time.
Reply:as often as u need 2 or want 2
Reply:It sounds like you have a healthy feeling about death. What you are struggling with is what you look like to others. Trust your gut feelings and visit when you feel it is right to you. Sometimes it is best to rely on the happy memories that linger in our minds
Reply:hullo
well,that depends on your way of understanding death,there is no general rule on that from mental health point of view,you can visit your mothers grave as much as you can and when ever you feels that,there is no obligation on that .
you do not have to feel guilty about that,you are doing well.

Reply:My mom died several over ten years ago. It's okay that you haven't been there since the funeral. I went to my mom's grave a month or so after the funeral and they hadn't even put the gravestone in yet. So, there is no rush. It's a good idea to go on the first anniversary of her death and bring some other relatives with you on that day. You shouldn't feel obligated to go to the grave a certain amount of times. I go when I need to feel comfort or when I feel the grave is being neglected and her name is being covered by overgrown grass. Then I will weed the grass myself. This is usually once or twice a year, maybe on mothers day or my mom's birthday or around Christmas time when I feel down. Some years are more, some are less. I suggest you buy some artificial flowers or a Christmas wreath in the fall this year and then you won't feel the need to visit as often, knowing the grave looks good.
Reply:If it's only 90 miles away, I would go every weekend, particularly if you want to talk to her. My mom's is over 2,000 miles away.
Reply:Don't feel really bad . Go to visit the grave of a close friend when you feel you are being urged to do so . When you visit realize it is for your learning. Try to see what you are to learn or someone to meet. Be this way with the other side of life and you will feel more in tune and not be grieving as much. I try to ask my grandfathers to tell me yes or no to all my questions. It is makes my life more successful.
Reply:i completely understand how you feel. but my dads grave is right down the road... i just cant bring myself to go there. i also believe that she can hear you from where ever you are. i would not feel bad for not going all the time, she knows you love her. i know my dad loves me and wouldnt want me to spend my time worrying about a patch of grass and whether or not it has flowers on it. dont feel bad if you dont make it there as much as u think u should, she knows if you are thinking about her. you dont have to be there for her to know that.
Reply:You have to do what feels right for you. No one person can tell you what is right and what isn't and no person can tell you your a bad person for not going. You are exactally right in saying you conect with her in other places. You know you moms in heaven and you don't have to go to her grave to talk to her. A grave site is simply just a symbol.
Reply:Annually. I am a Japanese kid living in America, but I visit my grandparents' graves annually at Japan (kinda keep the grave a little neat and clean each time I go there as to show some respect towards them). And to let you know, your mother is not bored; All people who have passed away have many things to do in their afterlives. Don't worry about leaving your mother alone. Maybe she needs some privacy. : )
Reply:Personally,I think your doing the right thing...you go on holidays... thats a pluse,you think about her in your thoughts and spirit,you love her...you sound like your a hard worker...she's probably looking down at you right now and telling herself, what a good daughter she raised. Your doing good,kept it up...Chris
Reply:There isn't any 'right' answer to this. You'll have to decide for yourself when and how to remember her. She's your mom, she'll understand.
Reply:There are no hard and fast rules for visiting gravesites ... while one person will go once a week, another person will go once per year. Just go when you need to go (and only you will know when and how often this is).
Of course it is important to spend time with your mother, but it is also important to not dwell on the past ... you will carry on with your own life. Consider yourself lucky to have your mother so close to you ... my mother's (and father's) ashes are scattered about four hours from here and, trust me, I can't get out there every weekend, even if I wanted to.
Reply:i have the same situation with my father who died 5 years ago. When i have gone to his gravesight i just dont feel him there. and i sure hope he is not there anymore dont feel guilty you know everyone has there own way of dealing with these things. it has nothing to do with how much you loved her when she was here
Reply:She's with you every day. You can't physically see her, although she may leave little signs that she's there. If she were alive, what would she tell you about visiting her grave after her death? That might help you know the answer to your question. You don't have to feel guilty I suspect she wouldn't want that either. Just live your life in a manner that would have made her proud and know she's with you every day. Your guardian angel now. Best wishes to you.

Should she have been allowed to have an abortion or should she be a criminal?
My sister was five months pregnant when the doctors told her the placenta had torn and embryonic fluid was seeping out of the sack. The doctors told her the baby wouldn’t survive and recommended an abortion, but she refused give up on something she wanted so badly. She laid flat on her back for two months in hopes of saving her son. In the seventh month, the doctors told her the baby’s lungs hadn’t developed and there was no chance the baby would ever draw his first breath outside of the womb. The doctors induced labor to expel the fetus from the womb. Because he had no lungs, the baby never drew his first breath. We had a funeral and there’s a tiny tombstone in the family cemetery beside of my grandfather’s tombstone for Dustin. We still go there, put flowers on his grave and cry over the loss of a child which was never born. As long as he was in her womb, he was alive; he moved, he had a heart beat, and she loved him as much as any mother could love a child.
Should she have been allowed to have an abortion or should she be a criminal?
It Should be her choice. no one is responsible for anyone Else's soul though the Anti Abortionist , are so sure they got a Handel on what God thinks. I think they should give God credit, for being able to talk to others also. He is a Mighty God and need no one to Criticize for him. The spirit comes with the Breath of Air God Breaths in. who gained from the suffering that was done here?
Reply:I'm not exactly sure how she is a criminal. From your explanation, it sounds as if she was encouraged to abort the baby. She tried to save him and carry him to term, but it just wasn't feasible. It doesn't sound like she did anything wrong.
Reply:Your story has little or nothing to do with the issue of abortion.Even right to lifers respect that if the fetus is nonviable or if the mothers life is in danger abortions is right.
Reply:u cant blame her for trying to hold on to some hope there are so many stories of how the doctors were wrong and the baby was fine...miricals do happen to other people..it wouldnt have made it any easier if she had, had an abortion at an early stage u all still knew it was there.. sometimes life doesnt always go the way it should... sometimes other peoples desisions arnt what other people think they should be...she did what was right for her at the time and maternal instinct told her to hold on to hop...hey at times if we dont hols on to hope what much else have we got... take it easy on her weather u believe in god or not personally i dont but he isnt going to judge her for holding on to a baby that u knew was never gonna be...
Reply:There is no way she should be a criminal. It is hard when that happens. My mother in law had a still born baby and she regretted making the decision to carry it for as long as she could because it was more heartache. It's sad to say that no matter when he would have been born he would have been deceased. Sometimes it's easier to do it that way. I realise how devastating it can be but it's just nature (hate it or not). My sympathies to all though - it is so sad.
Reply:shoud've gotten an abortion
Reply:abortion is indeed murder, and i sympathize with you and your family. that is a tragic story. your sister had the right idea in trying to save a life, and there's nothing more she could have done. you and your family are good people.

PLEASEEEE! HELP!!! I BEG OF YOu!!!!!?
it was just there time to go...when its there time its just there time...theres nothing you can do =/
sorry.
Reply:Kids are dying of starvation all over the world. Get a life. Sheesh.
Reply:tank shock, nitrogen levels, lack of sufficient oxygen
various reasons
too bad, but we all have to deal with learning about death eventually,
i had so parents come in to my pet store who had told their kids we were boarding their red betta for them while they were on vacation, it had died just before they left so they came in to buy one just like it and thus keeping the kids in the dark for a few more years, and asked me to play along, i obliged and charged "room and board" for their fishy
Reply:depending on size, they might not have had enough room. and shock is a big killer of fish like the pp said
Reply:The ecosystem in your was not equalizes, you probably had a build up of nitrates in your tank. Most likely they went into shock over being in a smaller tank, before you put them in you should have added some water from their old tank to reestablish the ecosystem in the water.
Reply:Fish die from shock if they go from having lots of free area to suddenly having not as much area (smaller tank)
Reply:if you didn't use the same water from their big tank, they likely died of shock.
Very sorry
Reply:Its a fish, please, come on now. I mean I know it sucks that it died, I love my fishys too but its still just a fish.
Reply:I need more info:
What kind of fish?
What size?
Salt or fresh water?
How long were they in the small tank?
How long has it been since you moved?
Did anything change?
What do you feed?
Let me know...
Reply:I am sorry for your lose. I know you are sad over this, and I hope you feel better soon.
To answer your questions - I have to ask, Was the water the same temperature in the small tank as that of the large tank?
The smaller tank didn't have as much oxygen in the water for the two fish? I don't know, did the tanks have pumps running?
The shock of being moved could have been too much for them. And, fish are like people and other pets, they don't live forever. Remember the good times, and get more fish friends soon. SAM and REME want you to, they don't want you to be unhappy.
Some people think that our pets die in place of their owners, that something bad was going to happen to you, your fish took your place in heaven so that you can live. Your fish love you, and always will.
Reply:First of all, fish die randomly all the time...
Second of all, HOW COULD YOU TELL WHEN A FISH IS HAPPY? Does it smile at you...???
3rd, no one knows since none of us knew either one of the fish..sorry, i dont spend much time in the tank.
Reply:They probably ran out of oxygen and were very stressed out from the move.
I am so sorry. I would be crushed if my fish all died.
List the breed of the fish so we can tell if they could have killed each other.

PLEASEEEE! HELP!!! I BEG OF YOu!!!!!?
it was just there time to go...when its there time its just there time...theres nothing you can do =/
sorry.
Reply:Kids are dying of starvation all over the world. Get a life. Sheesh.
Reply:tank shock, nitrogen levels, lack of sufficient oxygen
various reasons
too bad, but we all have to deal with learning about death eventually,
i had so parents come in to my pet store who had told their kids we were boarding their red betta for them while they were on vacation, it had died just before they left so they came in to buy one just like it and thus keeping the kids in the dark for a few more years, and asked me to play along, i obliged and charged "room and board" for their fishy
Reply:depending on size, they might not have had enough room. and shock is a big killer of fish like the pp said
Reply:The ecosystem in your was not equalizes, you probably had a build up of nitrates in your tank. Most likely they went into shock over being in a smaller tank, before you put them in you should have added some water from their old tank to reestablish the ecosystem in the water.
Reply:Fish die from shock if they go from having lots of free area to suddenly having not as much area (smaller tank)
Reply:if you didn't use the same water from their big tank, they likely died of shock.
Very sorry
Reply:Its a fish, please, come on now. I mean I know it sucks that it died, I love my fishys too but its still just a fish.
Reply:I need more info:
What kind of fish?
What size?
Salt or fresh water?
How long were they in the small tank?
How long has it been since you moved?
Did anything change?
What do you feed?
Let me know...
Reply:I am sorry for your lose. I know you are sad over this, and I hope you feel better soon.

Phil Vassar - Last Day Of My Life
I just left Bobby's house:
The service was today.
Got me thinkin' about how fragile life is,
As I drove away.
You know, Amy was his only love:
In a moment she was gone, long gone.
It could have been me or you.
Oh, baby, there's no time to lose.
So I'm gonna bring home a dozen roses,
An' pour us a glass of wine.
An' I'm gonna put on a little music,
An' turn down the lights.
An' I'm gonna wrap my arms around you,
An' rock you all through the night,
An' I'm gonna love you,
Like it's the last day of my life.
I drive off when the sun comes up:
I get back when it's gone down.
There's so much I wanna do with you,
But I can't be around.
Whoa, time has been just like a thief,
It's stolen too much from us,
So once it's gone we can't make it up,
So tonight, let's get back in touch.
I'm gonna bring home a dozen roses,
An' pour us a glass of wine.
An' I'm gonna put on a little music,
An' turn down the lights.
[these lyrics are found on http://www.songlyrics.com]
An' I'm gonna wrap my arms around you,
An' rock you all through the night,
An' I'm gonna love you,
Like it's the last day of my...
Life is a rainbow, it's a spring snow,
It's the mornin' dew.
An' I don't wanna waste another minute,
Without you.
So I'm gonna bring home a dozen roses,
An' pour us a glass of wine.
An' I'm gonna put on a little music,
An' turn down the lights.
An' I'm gonna wrap my arms around you,
An' rock you all through the night,
An' I'm gonna love you,
Like it's the last day of my life.
I'm gonna love you,
Like it's the last day of my life.
Oh, oh.

30 ways to annoy Voldemort?
1. Ask him why he 'doesn't have such a cool scar?'
2. Laugh at him.
3. Wake him up by singing Beach Boys songs in his ear. 'Round, round, get around, I get around...'
4. Knit him things. Really hideous things.
5. Give him kangaroo-ears for a month.
6. Smile during Death Eater meetings and say you taught him everything he knows.
7. Chew bubblegum all the time. Should he address you, your only response will be a series of huge bubbles in quick succession, the last of which will burst everywhere and make a mess.
8. Dance the Funky Chicken.
9. Ask him when was the last time he took a bath.
10. Pat him on the head and give him flowers when his plans are foiled yet again.
11. If you ever need to say 'Like taking candy from a baby', be sure to add 'Of course, SOME of us might find that harder than others.' Stare pointedly at him.
12. Play 'knock-%26amp;-run' at his bedchamber door late at night.
13. Call him 'The-Man-Who-Let-the-Boy-Live.'
14. Ask why the Dark Mark couldn't look like something 'more socially acceptable?'
15. Insist that you have met chunks of cheese with more cunning plans than his.
16. Pinch him. Make sure he squeals.
17. Be cheerful.
18. When he tries to impress you with his powers, say 'Awwwww, lookit. Voldie's got a twiggle!'
19. Try to teach him to play a mouth organ.
20. Roll your eyes during plotting sessions and say things under your breath like 'You're the boss, boss' or 'It's your funeral.'
21. Greet him in the mornings with a sarcastic 'My sir, you look particularly menacing today.'
22. Taunt him about his middle name. 'Marvolo? What's that - a washing detergent?'
23. Keep a 'good-behaviour chart'. Award points and give out gold stars.
24. Magic-marker Potter-style glasses on him while he sleeps.
25. Apparate into and out of his room rapidly. Do this non-stop for an hour. *poof* there *poof* gone *poof* there...
26. Play cards with him. Tell him he has no poker-face and how does he expect to rule supreme without one?
27. Let off party-poppers in his face whenever the urge strikes you.
28. 'Did you even HAVE a girlfriend? Like, ever?'
29. Get a pair of finger puppets closely resembling himself and Harry Potter. Re-enact all of Harry's victories over him in a spectacularly childish way. Be sure to give them both squeaky voices.
30. Anytime he enters any room, insist on entering first and announcing him grandly.
30 ways to annoy Voldemort?
31. Send Harry Potter a Christmas's card.
