I answer any questions is it becoz... What? anyone can tell me? Will i had an abortion last weekend anyways me and my bf is so weird will me i never use to like him as much as i do now it's weird it was my birthday on the 13 and he came over and gave me some flowers that look like roses the color is pink and yellow and i'm taking good care of them they are blooming not fully yet but can someone tell me why am i falling so much now but not before my friend said that she can see that i like this guy so much now but didn't show it before now im kinda scared to say i love you cuz how i was in the past now im like all lovey dovey with him is this a good thing? what do you guys thinks going on with me? Or could it be that he was there for the abortion or there through the whole relationship we have been together for 9 months. My ? is what do you think about this and i dont know what to do to cuz my exs are calling me again should i talk to them or no stay with the guy iam with now?
Why can't....?
You have alot of resentment towards him. If I were you I would put this relationship on whole and really do some soul searching.A abortion is nothing to play with. This is something that you will carry on you for the rest of your life. Baby, "IT WOULD TAKE MORE THAN ROSES FOR ME!" Stop rushing to grow up. And learn from your mistakes. Good-Luck to you !
Reply:you're weak after the abortion
you're weak anyway. get some condoms and bang all of those guys.
Reply:You should stay with the guy that you're with right now...dont bother with the exs because they are nothing but trouble...this man/guy has been there for you through a serious and rough time of your life...and its seems like he is a nice person from what u are saying so...give it a try just dont rush things.

What do I do?
My partner finished with me 15 days ago, dont really have a clue why. Dont know what to do, haven't text or spoken to her since, so need to hear her voice. She said she wants to spend time on her own, and I know what this means, she's either got someone, or doesnt know what she wants! She was so in love, said she had never ever been treated so special, been so cared for in her life. Im itching to text her to say hi, but scared I'll push her further away, n dont want her to think I've forgoten about her cos she is all I can think of. What shall I do, its her birthday in a couple of weeks, shall I send a card and flowers, she always liked them in the past, as no one had ever sent her any before. She seems to have gone all cold on me.
What do I do?
Don't worry she is probably sat at home two sweating because she really wants to speak to but doesn't want to make the first move after finishing it with you and is probably wondering why you haven't rang she probably thinks you don't care you have split up. i think leaving it another two weeks is a silly idea what have you got to lose if i was you i would send a huge bouquet of flowers to her work saying forever yours love you always and obviously your name.
Good luck
Reply:just send her a message telling her you are thinking about her....and leave it at that..wait and see what happens...good luck
Reply:She may have someone else, just text her and say hi, see what she does,but remember, if she dosnt respond you may feel hurt just as much if not more, good luck
Reply:Ring her up and ask her straight out.Why should you be left waiting for her to make up her mind.Ring her and ask if your still a couple or if you have finished.If she still says she dosen't know then leave it,don't contact her at all.Do it now.Ring her!!! Find out where you stand.Hope it goes your way.x
Reply:In my opinion you guys need to talk it out. No one should be left in the dark in a relationship finished or not.
You need closure. Sounds to me like shes overwhelmed with all the attention you give her and maybe she just wants to get her head round it. Give her another couple of days and contact her. Tell her you wanna talk. Shes had time to get sorted and now you need to, too. If you were so in love its worth a try.
Reply:I see no harm in you sending her a birthday card or even asking her out for a drink for her birthday. what harm can it do and the worst she can say is no.
I would hold back on the flowers to see what she says about the drink. if she says yes then buy her flowers.
Good luck. You sound like a very caring person.
Reply:it sounds like she probably doesn't want to be around so i would leave her for a bit as she finished with you.
I think the fact she has gone cold on you makes it clear that she knows what she wants, sorry.
Reply:Sending her flowers and a card seems like a good idea as it then leaves the door open for her to contact you to say thanks. Just try and be patient do things to keep your mind off her. If it's meant to be it will be. I have done this to a partner in the past as it got too much for me. However in the end it brought us closer together.
Reply:im in a similar place my friend and probably the best thing to do is leave her alone even tho ur wanting to contact her! and in time she might call u but if not then you must move on its bloody hard i know but ul do it ul see!
Reply:I think you should text her to say hi and ask how she is.. you can gauge from her reply how she's feeling about you (if she does reply). I would hold off on sending her the flowers (you are not together anymore and this might freak her out). You will need to tread carefully here. The thing is, she may have met someone else but either way you are entitled to know what happened and she owes you an explanation. Try the text first and see what happens.
Reply:sorry this isn't what you want to hear but move on hun. By the sounds of things you gave her your all and thats what really matters if she doesn't appreciate you then find someone else who will. There's plenty more people out there who would want your love and attention and would actually appreciate this, it's hard to move on but its for the best to stop you from urting

Do you have parents who have never kissed, hugged or said they love each other whilst in your presence?
The only sign of affection that I see is birthday %26amp; anniversary cards. I can't remember ever seeing a bunch of flowers in the house. I can't believe I've never asked anyone else this, or even talked about it with my brother. I guess I have just accepted it because I was brought up in that environment and took it for granted. They are still married %26amp; living together, apparently content with one another, after more than 30 years.
(they married in their 20's).
How unusual is this? What is your interpretation of their relationship with one another %26amp; with my brother %26amp; I?
Do you have parents who have never kissed, hugged or said they love each other whilst in your presence?
It's that generation I guess - my parents are exactly the same - they are both in their 60's. I expect that your parents were more demonstrative when they were younger - but maybe because you were younger you don't remember that or maybe, once they had you guys, they didn't have time to kiss and cuddle so much!. Clearly, they have had a long and successful marriage - something to be proud of. I think that their generation was not shown that much affection by their own parents - life was much harder then and so, they are not as affectionate as a result. It might just be a case of "not in front of the children" - classic for their generation!

Reply:my parents kiss and cuddle in front of us (me, and my brother and sister) all the time. I think it's healthy. Showing emotions and affection is agood thing and lets your children grow up knowing that its good to express your feelings.

Reply:Not everyone is comfortable with showing their emotions in public, or in front of others. It doesn't mean that their feelings are none existent.

Reply:Yes - my sister and I talk about it quite a bit and we both think that's why we both have a problem showing our affection.

Feelin' Hurt...............Advice???
I'm 23 and my bf and I have been dating for 3 yrs now. It kinda feels like when it comes to holidays/birthdays he feels like it's a hassle to do anything for me. Here are just a couple examples: On Valentines Day he worked late and when he came home I had some little gifts for him that I had put a lot of thought into. He didn't give me anything. He said he felt stupid cause he tried to go buy me flowers after work but everything was closed...he got in the shower and asked me if I'd go pick up McDonalds. He was extra nice and I could tell he sort of felt bad but I was so hurt. So my question is- On my birthday (a few months later) he got me a dozen roses.....but that was all. For some reason I kind of felt hurt again. I was sort of expecting him to try and do something special. Am I a total ingrateful gf for being hurt or should I be thankful that he thought to get me the flowers? I really wanna know the truth so that if I'm wrong I can just forget about it!
Feelin' Hurt...............Advice???
Honey, this is a hard one to answer but I really must comment on this issue. You cannot make an unromantic man romantic, and if you are trying then your going to have to spell it out in no uncertainty that you want item X or Y and you want it on this special occasion and then cue him in a couple weeks in advance and sometimes even after all this work that you have to put in, you are still left with much less than you expect. I dont know why this is. Maybe something else is wrong but I do know that its hard to make someone unknowledgable about Romance into Don Juan...very very tough, takes lots of patience and must be as dilligent as if you were a dog trainer! If you love this guy, learn how to get the most from your love, but if it is too much to deal with then realize you picked the wrong guy and go find someone more your style...they are out there. Good luck sweety. Dont set yourself up expecting the moon and stars when all this guy can give you without proper training is... fries with that. Take Care.-Rachel.
Reply:I think it's confusion and that maybe you're not easy to be with on holidays. Nobody should be grateful for getting hurt. But you should appreciate the flowers. Discuss this with him, he's probably feeling guility, himself.
Reply:omg horrible. what did he say when you told him about a note? hmm i think that if he doesnt give you what you need its time for a break or maybe a break up... i mean your bf should care about you and your feelings..

A magazine on desert gardening?
My dad's birthday is coming up. He LOVES to garden, especially to work with flowers. But, he lives in Las Vegas. He is quite successful despite the arid climate. I thought he might appreciate a magazine subscription about gardening in the desert or in the southwest. Does anyone know of anything like this or how I could track one down? I'm looking for something that would focus on something other than "desert landscaping" (i.e. cacti and rocks) but would show adjustment for planting times, etc.

Friend trouble ??
A close friend(girl) of mine had her birthday on 25th of may...
She stays on another city now, so i sent her flowers (loads of red roses) with the help of her room mate...
Those flowers were delivered 2 her but without my name..
i just wanted 2 keep her guessing her 4 some time.
ne ways on 25 night i asked her roomy 2 tel her bout who send da flowers which da roomy did....
but this girl has not called me or SMSed me since that..
(we normally chat on SMS or on phone for hours almost daily)
ne idea why??
does she expect me 2 call her up %26amp; apologize 4 nt putting my name on it??????
i took a lot of trouble 2 send em all da way from my place, i think she should atleast say that she got em..
what do u think i should do???
ps:- shes nt mu girlfriend but we r really close...
thanx !!
Friend trouble ??
I don't think she would expect you to call and apologize for something as little as forgetting to put your name on the flowers. That would be a little odd. Maybe she just hasn't had the time to call you. Call her up and be like "hey, hows things been..." and then if she doesn't bring up how she loved the flowers, ask her. "did you like those flowers i sent you?!"
Reply:Don't think like boys.U keep urself in her situation and then start searching for the solution.U would b able to develop a idea urself.
Reply:Flimsy and trifles should not disturb you. See that things are normal
Reply:She think that you are playing games with her some people don't like games. So what I'm saying is what you did backfired. I think she's waiting for you to say something about it. Or maybe this maybe she was hoping it was you that did it but there was no name and you didn't say anything. So she's holding it against you. So I think its time for you to call her and explain the joke. hmmmmm?
Reply:It is better to ask sorry for not putting UR name on the flower. I feel that you should have spoke with her instead of the roommate. I think she is annoyed about that. Just ask forgiveness and go ahead. I think she will forgive you and you will be friends again.
thanks
Reply:just call her and ask her if she got them
you sound like great friends..this is no biggy
Reply:Maybe she is thinking the roses meant you are thinking you want to hook up with her, and if she doesn't feel that way about you it might be making her feel awkward and not knowing what to say. Red roses mean love, yellow mean friendship, so if she knows that she may have the wrong idea.
I would suggest calling or emailing and explaining the situation, whatever you meant with the roses so she is clear on their meaning and why you didn't put your name. Better to take care of any misunderstandings on both your parts than to ruin a good friendship sitting around wondering what each other meant. Good luck!
Reply:i think shes just a little puzzled that u think of her as more than just a friend. just leave her alone, and if she truly likes u, she call or something

Is she playing games or hard to get?
She has a magnet on the fridge with happy faces expressing various emotions that she and I have been playing with for over a year. I gave her flowers for Valentines Day to say sorry for a mistake I made and she moved the magnet to "Lovestruck" and kept my flower after they wilted. She also seemed to touch me by accident. For her birthday, I made a simple puzzle for her to follow, that led to my gifts of poetry and an invitation to eat out. She didn't seem interested in the puzzle, and said she didn't have time for it. She also stopped moving the magnet. When I saw she didn't like my puzzle, I just gave her the gifts and asked her out, which she refused. A week later, I asked her why and she said I was doing this because of my mistake prior to Valentines Day. Then I told her that I was over it and wanted to do the B-day stuff for her, not due to my mistake. Last I saw her, she had moved the entire magnet to a different location on the fridge and the emotion to "mischievous"
Is she playing games or hard to get?
She likes someone else dude. My best advice if you want her to want you is to completely ignore her!! Sounds like she has you on a string and she knows it too! Ignore her and she'll get ahold of you!
Reply:It sounds like she is just playing games. I'd bail out on her and just be friends. She sounds like trouble to me.

Calling all Orchid lover/fanatics pls help?
I am not a green fingered person but i do love flowers i mentioned that i like Orchids in a room full of people and for my birthday back in April guess what i got?? not one but THREE Orchids. (should have told them i liked sports cars too :-)
I almost killed one to much water from the top of the pot.
Yes i know now its a no no.
Well its now December the last of the flowers are just dying off the last one but i have noticed little bugs they are whiteish and furry. my questions are
1. What are they?
2. Are they harmful to the Orchid if yes in what way?
3. Can i get Rid of them?
4. Should i get rid of them and how?
I know i sound like the usual novice because i a but im am proud of the fact they are still alive and apart from their lodgers they look quiet healthy. I would love to see them flower next year that would be the ultimate.
Thanks in advance x
Calling all Orchid lover/fanatics pls help?
sorry I disagree with the other answer, what you have got is mealy bug. If you squash them you'll probably find a brownish soft creature inside the wollen coat. Thgere are various ready to use sprays, you can also try methaylated spirit dipped onto and using a coton bud stick to gentle dab the mealy bugs. They are fairly persistent once established but the plants will usually live ok. Mealy bugs are opportunist so watch for your others plants, theylll spread quickly and usually hide or are seen in the leaf joints/ nodes. You can also try a systemic killer when you water the plants.. Dont despair, we've a window ledge full of orchids and christamas cacti, which is another plant mealy bugs like. Just methodically and repeatedly apply your bug spray and they'll go eventually.
E$dit: just remembered, the way to tell is mealy bugs are static, they will not move when you touch or move your plants, white fly will take off and actually fly away when you move your plants, whitefly are more a summer pest on greenhouse tomatoes. Good luck
Edit 2 ref your further info I'm convinced you've got mealy bug your description is spot on. Don't panick, our plants often get the wretched things, the pest is so easily introduced on other plants you bring into the house but you will get rid of them, you just have to keep up with the treatment as per the bug spray/ liquid instructions.
Reply:So you have the mealy bug fugured out. Now you need to know what kind of orchid it is and find a good nursery that sells orchid food. Plunging in water every 10 to 14 days will be good. My friend is growing orchid successfully and using worm casting tea every time she waters. She said they are looking healthier than ever.They are setting buds now..... getting ready to rebloom.
Reply:Mealy bugs, Isopropyl alcohol on cotton ball will kill them and not harm your orchids. Fish emulsion is a great fertilizer. smelly, but effective, or MiracleGro.
Reply:The other answers regarding mealy-bugs are correct. The adult mealy bugs look much like Q-Tips. There are 2 sprays that come to mind in treating the pests. The first is Isotox by Ortho. Spray according to label directions, never stronger. This is a systemic spray and can be put into the watercan. The other spray is Triple Action 20. It is a fungicide,algaecide,insecticide combination. Can be used on indoor and outdoor plants as can Isotox. Orchids are not the easiest of plants to tend to; so congratulations. If your bath area has bright light, then give your plants a gentle rain from the shower or vegetable sprayer to clean the plants and supply the much desired humidity. This is as close to a greenhouse effect you can create in the average home. Mealybugs are harmful to the plant, due to robbing the nutrition away from the host. Their purpose was to stimulate you to devote more awareness to your world.
Reply:sounds like wooley aphid.. yes they are harmful.. they suck the sap out of the plant..
If there aren't too many pick them off, if its infested buy a greenfly spray for indoor use or use washing up liquid watered down if you don't like chemicals.
Reply:Don't panic nuttyred x I have several of them. They can be rather difficult to keep, however I can give you a few tips that will hopefully help you.
Firstly, never water from the top of the pot.
Get a mild insect repellant from your garden centre or store and mix a mild solution to finely spray the plants.
Spray all of them not just one.
Keep them in a reasonable temperature above 60 degrees and not near radiators.
Don't let the soil dry out completely but don't over water. Good luck

I almost killed one to much water from the top of the pot.
Yes i know now its a no no.
Well its now December the last of the flowers are just dying off the last one but i have noticed little bugs they are whiteish and furry. my questions are
1. What are they?
2. Are they harmful to the Orchid if yes in what way?
3. Can i get Rid of them?
4. Should i get rid of them and how?
I know i sound like the usual novice because i a but im am proud of the fact they are still alive and apart from their lodgers they look quiet healthy. I would love to see them flower next year that would be the ultimate.
Thanks in advance x
Calling all Orchid lover/fanatics pls help?
sorry I disagree with the other answer, what you have got is mealy bug. If you squash them you'll probably find a brownish soft creature inside the wollen coat. Thgere are various ready to use sprays, you can also try methaylated spirit dipped onto and using a coton bud stick to gentle dab the mealy bugs. They are fairly persistent once established but the plants will usually live ok. Mealy bugs are opportunist so watch for your others plants, theylll spread quickly and usually hide or are seen in the leaf joints/ nodes. You can also try a systemic killer when you water the plants.. Dont despair, we've a window ledge full of orchids and christamas cacti, which is another plant mealy bugs like. Just methodically and repeatedly apply your bug spray and they'll go eventually.
E$dit: just remembered, the way to tell is mealy bugs are static, they will not move when you touch or move your plants, white fly will take off and actually fly away when you move your plants, whitefly are more a summer pest on greenhouse tomatoes. Good luck
Edit 2 ref your further info I'm convinced you've got mealy bug your description is spot on. Don't panick, our plants often get the wretched things, the pest is so easily introduced on other plants you bring into the house but you will get rid of them, you just have to keep up with the treatment as per the bug spray/ liquid instructions.
Reply:So you have the mealy bug fugured out. Now you need to know what kind of orchid it is and find a good nursery that sells orchid food. Plunging in water every 10 to 14 days will be good.

How did a guy I met through an internet dating site find me I never gave him the town I was living in?
I met an guy over 1 year ago through a dating site, we have been emailing one another for about 10 months. I never told him the true city I live in, but the true stat and I Never told him my real name !. He lives in Tulsa Oklahoma. Also when we met on the dating site my picture was posted and his wasn't but I enjoyed talking to him and he promise to send a picture , he never has, but says soon, (right). We have never talked on the phone and I made sure not to disclose any personal information, but I did tell him a few times I go walking on the seawall and I live near Houston. Well, today is my birthday ( never told borth year) and I receive an email from him, that I have flowers waiting for me at a local flower shop and he says he hopes I live in or near that city. Yes I can the florist and the flowers and gifts are there. Should I be afraid , during the couse of us emailing he seem to be ok...but now I'm worried . How did he find me with such little information
How did a guy I met through an internet dating site find me I never gave him the town I was living in?
"go walking on the seawall and I live near Houston."
How many bodies of water are really anywhere near Houston?
Probably just deduction, hopefully he isn't a stalker and just a harmless guy with a sincere crush on you.
Reply:You should be glad he is not an idiot and he was able to put 2 and 2 together and pick a near by shop based on the fact that you live near Houston and take walks on the seawall. also you said that he said that he hopes you live near that shop which means that he was just making an educated guess. you don't have anything to worry about unless he shows up at your house, but then it will be too late.
Reply:that is scary...could he have gotten from the dating website some kind of way?
Reply:you'd be surprised what you can accomplish on the internet nowadays. For about ten bucks, I can find you by your last name and first name, and the process of elimination.
Reply:Honestly it isn't very hard to find out, there are way to many ways to list.
What you should hope for is that he was actually paying attention to the things you said and pieced it together over time through various little things you said (possible since you have been talking for so long), as opposed to going searching for you on the internet (Creepy)
All in all, if he sent flowers on your birthday to a local flower shop, I would assume that hes not an insane stalker, (Aka 10 months of talking should let you know of what his personality is like) and just likes you and was trying to surprise you.
I do not know your personal history or the things you said, but do not be to quick to freak out ;). I would suggest that you just ask him, and odds are he will tell you what it was you said that he remembered.
Reply:There are places on the internet where you can type in some info and it will show you some things that can help with a search!
In your case, i think you should not converse with this person any more, change your e-mail address, tell your parents about it, and do not go to meet him!
Haven't you been watching that program on TV, where the TV program has a fake young girl who contacts some guy, then he is invited to a certain address, When he shows up, with sex toys, and other things, he's arrested and charged! there are all types of crackpots out there preying on young girls, with just the method that guy used to find you!
Beware--beware--tell your folks, don't fall for his wiles!
Those types of people use e-mail and the internet to further their games, so don't go to pick up the flowers, because he'll know to further his search, and might even find your home, and all he'll have to do is watch and wait, until you're home alone, then he'll swoop in, and you won't be able to defend yerself,!
He might even have told the flower shop to call him when you go to pick up the flowers, and they may have called him when you called to inquire if they were there1 See how easy it is, if ya aren't very careful??

Reply:tell the police :-(
Reply:May be he is guessing. He wants to see your reaction.
Reply:If your phone number (the one he has) is listed in a directory, you can do a reverse search on the number and find who it is and what their address is. And it's perfectly legal because it's public information (from a phone book).
Reply:Do NOT meet him before he sends a photo.
I had a coworker who was meeting women online through E-Harmony and only telling them he was "fat."
True indeed.
He weighed a good 450-plus and bathed rarely.
Overweight isn't the only problem someone could present, but people should like the looks of their potential mates/dates.
Take your photo down and don't show it to any guys who have not ostensibly shown you theirs first. And don't lie any more.
Reply:Do you have any personal information on your email? If it was your personal email acct you used to email him, it could have come with your name on it. He didn't just pull the information out of the air. The dating site won't devulge any information so it's not them. I would be worried too, have you thought about asking him where he got the information? Or you could just say that you never received the flowers %26amp; gift, that way he won't be sure he has the right address.
Reply:Baby, If he hasn't done anything by now, chances r he won't, its been 2 long 4 that and he would of already made his move if he really wanted 2 rape or even kill u, don't u think. Chill out baby, if he waited this long chances r, hes doing it because he cares and respects u, otherwise he wouldn't of waited this long.
Reply:He took a good guess you overly paranoid freak.
Probably pulled up google earth. Punched in Houston, and then looked for seawall areas. And kept his fingers crossed and guessed.
How bout, you've been talking to him for 10 months, call him on the phone for crying out loud and thank him profusely for caring enough to even TRY and send you flowers.
Yep, and could have just typed in your last name into the white pages and kept his fingers crossed. which is why he picked one out and said he hoped.
Reply:Well if you have your town posed anywhere else then im sure it would be pretty easy. People can do anything nowadays.
Reply:Don't let him know he got the city right for one. And if it's been 10 months and he won't send you a picture.....drop him...He's hiding for a reason. I don't know how he found you but someone I was talking to did something similar and I stopped talking to him. If you want him to know where you live you'd tell him. I would not talk to him anymore. If you are underage, tell you parents. It's better to admit to a mistake then not and end up dead.
Reply:it might be pure coninsidence. he may have remembered u saying u lived near houston and he decided to send to flowers to a shop there, hoping it would be close enough for you to pick them up. he doesnt know your house address so obviously he didnt do tht much investigating, if he had figured that out, then you should worry. so jst relax, this may jst be a nice guy who wanted to give you a happy birthday surprise. dont take it the wrong way
Reply:You need to tell someone like the authorities.Perverts can find someone by a simple screen name.If i was you i would call the cops. Block the person i don't care if you know him online well. people lie!

I want to get a girl a present for Christmas/New Years. Help?
We're simply friends. We were a bit intimate (I had a crush on her way back when) but we're just good friends now. She's getting me something for my birthday/christmas/New Years and I'm getting her something for Christmas/New Years (My birthday is on December 13th and hers is on March so I'm not putting her birthday in hers also, and she's getting me something for my birthday since it's close enough.)
Anyways, I want to stay away from teddy bears, candles, flowers and all that as we are just friends. I'm thinking maybe just a gift card but if anyone has a bright idea, I'd love to hear it.
The reason I wrote this specifically for a girl is because girls think differently than guys and I don't think she's appreciate the kind of things I appreciate.
I want to get a girl a present for Christmas/New Years. Help?
get some type of music that she likes and a cd that she doesnt have yet of the artist or get something that she likes and wrap it in her fav color or something and u can never go wrong with earrings
Reply:OK, it sounds like you are not quite over her, and you are looking for an appropriate gift.
But, if you are that typical guy, you don't notice the small things she likes. Get a notebook. If you viist her room, check out her perfumes (brands, names), make-up (brands, colors), it doesn't hurt to know her dress size either.
Best choice for your situation... perfume, she samples it,it gives you the opportunity to get in close and smell her neck.

Please help? prom question?
ok this week has been pretty chaotic. i just asked someone to prom, but she says she will think about it. Does this already mean no? and even if it doesnt, shuld i just move on anyways becuz its like a backup, if she doesnt get someone else instead? iono
but the only reason i asked was cuz
on v-day, we exchanged flowers, and then ya wrote notes to each other
and then my birthday was like a week later, and she wrote me another letter for my bday plus a nice card.
and recently she just wrote a long email to me, and i replied back with a long email to, and asking her to prom.
we were pretty good friends last year, but we barely talk this year.. so maybe thats why.
or it could also be my fault, i havent really done anything SUPER nice to her, and sometimes i act like she wasnt there (dont no i just feel weird sometimes)
should i just wait and see what happens or just move on and try to find someone else?
=/ i dont no what to do plz help
Please help? prom question?
Inhale....exhale. Good now listen. You asked her and all you can do is wait for an answer or see if she makes plans with someone else. You have just as good of chance going with her than all the other guys who have asked, if not better. Just wait and see what she says. You could be presently surprised. If you really want to, try telling her how much you like her. That could persuade her to go w/ you or add pressure. Your choice. Good luck!
Reply:Be patient --you did your part, now let her do hers... BTW...hope your prom is as nice as mine was... make it a night you and her never forget ..seeing how prom's and weddings you can't get do-overs..or aren't supposed to be able :)
Reply:wow.... ok if a lot of pple asked her then dont rush her. give her a day or 2 but at the same time try checkin out and thinkin about some other gurls just in case. and if u dont REALLY REALLY want to go with her , like yur ganna be sad tht she says no then mabey its the best idea to tell her , its ok if u say no im not ganna be mad or upset. best of luck and i hope your prom goes well
Reply:well, there's no use trying to read her mind. it usually doesn't work. It will be difficult, but the most grown-up thing to do would be to check back with her and say something like,
"I would really like to go to prom with you. I think we'd have a great time--but if you have other plans, that's fine. I just need to know, so I can ask someone else."
I think if you are real cool and confident, she will be impressed with your maturity. Maybe that will help her make up her mind.
Good Luck!!!
Reply:Well doing somethin REALLY NICE %26amp; OVER THE TOP would be a good idea..Think of a really romantic way to ask her.. %26amp; if youre not a romantic maybe itll surprise her %26amp; make her think you did this just for her!!!! Give it time but not too much time bc remember girls have to have AT LEAST a month prior planning..Hair, make up, tanning, dress, etc....So, if she keeps hesitating move on...
Reply:You totally sound like you're stressing. So stop and take my advice : ) You are good enough, first of all, so don't think that you're not. With the answer she's given you I think you should just move on to another girl who would like to go with you to Prom.
What is there to think about??? If she really wanted to go with you her answer would have been YES right away and not "I'll think about it". Let me help you interpret her response: Maybe if I never get back to him with an answer he'll ask someone else. I'm a woman and I'm 31yrs old. I've got enough experience under my belt to know what I'm talking about.
Believe me, you'll be happy you did. And if you do ask someone else, she shouldn't get mad. If she does then she's an *** and should have said yes to begin with. You'll be teaching her a lesson : )
Reply:its a little early so she might just be thinking about all of her choices..dont move on if you truly like this girl...try being nice to her and talk to her without coming on too strong the next couple of days. Good luck!
Reply:Give her the customary twenty-four hours to decide and then find someone else. The simple fact that her first response was an excuse is not a good thing. Have fun and congrats on the upcoming graduation.

What is there to think about??? If she really wanted to go with you her answer would have been YES right away and not "I'll think about it". Let me help you interpret her response: Maybe if I never get back to him with an answer he'll ask someone else. I'm a woman and I'm 31yrs old. I've got enough experience under my belt to know what I'm talking about.
Believe me, you'll be happy you did. And if you do ask someone else, she shouldn't get mad. If she does then she's an *** and should have said yes to begin with. You'll be teaching her a lesson : )
Reply:its a little early so she might just be thinking about all of her choices..dont move on if you truly like this girl...try being nice to her and talk to her without coming on too strong the next couple of days. Good luck!
Reply:Give her the customary twenty-four hours to decide and then find someone else. The simple fact that her first response was an excuse is not a good thing. Have fun and congrats on the upcoming graduation.

Visiting Mother's grave- meddling Grandmother?
My grandmother (My dad's mom) lives about 4 hours away. Halfway between my house and hers, is the cemetary where my mother is buried. I mentioned to her that I was taking flowers to Mom's grave next week because it's mom's birthday. She asked me to come to her house- that's an 4 hours (if you figure there and back) out of my way. She's in good health and has her own transportation, so I suggested that she meet me in the town where Mom's buried and I'd buy her lunch, since it is halfway. She's now guilt-tripping me, but just last month she was IN THE TOWN WHERE I LIVE and didn't even call me.
On one hand, I feel guilty because she is my grandmother. On the other hand, I realize she's not being fair.
Should I just suck it up and go see her?
Visiting Mother's grave- meddling Grandmother?
No you shouldn't. Your purpose for going out of town is to visit your mother's grave on what would have been her birthday. That's very special. If your grandmother wants you to go out of your way for her sake, you needn't do so.
It would be different if grandma was in poor health and didn't get out much. This isn't the case. So, stick with your original plan. Oh, and invite grandma to visit you anytime she is AGAIN in your home town.
Guilt runs two ways, after all. Don't let it make you decide to 'suck it up'. If you do, you'll be allowing grandma and others push your buttons forever.
Reply:Yes, go see her. Sorry that you both have to face the sad task of placing flowers on your mom's grave on her birthday. You won't regret taking your grandmother, even though it's inconvenient for you. Ask her to tell you some stories about your mother -- like when she first met her when she and your dad were engaged, etc. Good luck, and God bless.
Reply:Not if you don't want to make the trip. It would not make the whole visit worth it to you would it?
Explain to her this is something you really want to do and you would also like to meet her for lunch, but you are pressed for time and can not drive out further than you originally planned to.
ADDITION:
If she does not want to come to the cometary she does not have to. She can meet you at wherever you decide lunch will be if she wants to come. Tell her where you are going to be at what time and be there. If she does not show up consider it next time you think about gong out of your way for her.
And, I don't care how she felt about her own daughter, it is hateful of her. Her daughter is dead now and for her to continue to hold the hate and resentment toward her and still push it on you is wrong.

A question for moms?
My moms birthday is the 26th of may, she's turning 32. She likes the kind of stuff you make for her. She's weird that way 'from the heart' kind of deal. I have some good ideas: fake flowers (she hates when flowers die), and this thing i found out how to make to hold the flowers, the cake of course, a picture of mine and my brothers hand and footprints framed with a frame i'm going to make, and instead of a gift bag to put it in i am going to make a fabric birthday bag in my fashions class. See what I mean, i'm making everything, but she likes that stuff so, she'll be happy. But I need something big. Something that she'll like alot, but something i make. I don't mind going to buy the things for it, but i can't stress how major i want this present lol. Any suggestions?
And one last question: If you have a good decorative icing recipe.... mind sharing it? lol. Thanks for any input. I really appreciate it. :) She's gonna love it i'm so flippin excited!!!
A question for moms?
Wow you are artistic. And imaginative. My suggestion would for you to make Mom an "altered book". Check out this website for step by step instructions with photos, completed with limited supplies you probably already have. (creativity-portal.com) then look under (altered book tutorial). This would be an easy project for you and an absolutely wonderful treasured gift for your Mom. You could add pictures, magazine photo collages, and on the one side - a handwritten poem you have written, about your Mother. Also for Mom, a picture of her on one side and a picture of her Mom on the other - or Her on one page and a collage of pic's of you kids. The possibilities are endless - And the design is up to you - look around the web site for ideas. I really think it would be a treasured keepsake. Hope you will at least consider to add this project to your list of creative accomplishments - At least on your "to do list"
Reply:Why don't you and your brother make a book. Draw some pictures, paint watercolors, write poems or short stories, etc.
You could also make a family newspaper, with columns like in a real one. Have the title be some breaking news about mom's birthday. Have a gossip column in it and ask people who know your mom questions, and have the answers there...
Another easy thing, if your mom likes to read, you could make her a really cool book mark...she'll think of you every time she uses it. :)
Reply:the scrapbook idea is a good one. also what about some sort of jewellery (necklace and earrings)
Reply:How about a scrapbook? You could have pictures of you and your siblings and your mother. Don't forget to add journaling in your own words. Use ticket stubs, or brochures from an event that holds a special memory. Things that show how special your mom is to you. Journal about something your mom has done for you that you treasure deeply and add a photo to go along with the story. I hope this helps, but I am very sure that she is going to love all the things you already have planned to give her, without the need for something "big". The best gift a mom can get on Mother's Day or her Birthday is to be with her children and know that she is loved and cherished by them.

Is this mind games my ex is playing and how would you suggest I deal maybe play dirty with her?
experts please? I had a two year relationship with a 24-year old. I'm 30. She did treat me like !@#$%^%26amp;%26amp;*() for the last year of the relationship, and I didnt do anything but treat her like the queen I know she is. I gave her a choice of ending the relationship and she took the bait because I knew something was up. She tried to change me into her own fantasy person, which I chewed her out on. After we broke up, she found a new boyfriend within 3 weeks. She has said to my friends that this dude, who is 24 is a lot more mature than I am. I am assuming and know that she had him on the side. Three times in four weeks after our breakup. She had called me to see if just to check up on me (I'm not a child) once, and to see if I was ready to talk to her and become friends (all three times). I told her "Mary Grace I will call you when I'M ready". I wrote her a letter telling her I need space and that I still care for her. Now she had an upcoming b-day, turned 25. Now I'm not going to be an @$$hole and forget about her b-day. But I'm doing this as a friend. So what I did was I bought her a half dozen roses the day before, had it sent to her b-day place the day of (this was yesterday, by the florist), where she was holding her b-day party (3 yellow, 2 pink, and 2 peach) gave her call on her cell phone (the night before her party), and this is what I said to her in a very smooth manner (I'm assuming that she listened to it and maybe ignored it)
"Hey its Erwin,
listen, i know that we havent spoken in the last three weeks, and that I told you that I will talk to you and call you when I'm ready. And despite what you have done to me in the past, I HAVE NEVER AND WILL NEVER HATE YOU. And I know you got a birthday coming up on Tuesday, so I just wanna wish you a happy and safe 25th bday. I'll tell you what, perhaps we can call each other some time, As a matter of fact why don't we talk sometime later this week. You have a goodnight. Bye!"
As she received the flowers, she was very receptive to it, by texting me, "Thank you so much for the flowers, they are very pretty". I responded. "You're very welcome. Happy 25th". Then she proceeds to text me the next day by saying "I don't know how awkward this will be 4 u seeing me with someone else, but you're more than welcome to join me, my new bf, and my family for my birthday dinner." I simply responded, "Listen I'm having dinner with an old friend right now. Just have a wonderful dinner, okay? MAYBE we'll talk later" Her response, "Its okay, just thought I'd ask anyway, have fun". What was the purpose of her inviting me over for her b-day dinner? Calling me, three time in four weeks, to see if she wanted to be friends and to check up on me?, inviting me over for her birthday dinner. What was the purpose of her doing this, to rub everything in my face? Is she trying to play mind games w/ me? And if so, how do I go about playing dirty mind games w/ her or should I even do so? Either way, had I went, she would have won. And since I didn't go, she still won.
Is this mind games my ex is playing and how would you suggest I deal maybe play dirty with her?
She's not trying to play games with you. She feels bad about dumping you and she thinks you're suffering and she thinks that by telling you this stuff and inviting you over she will make you feel better.
She will keep pulling you back and forth like this because she doesn't know what else to do and she probably thinks that cutting all ties with you will make you kill yourself or something.
Do yourself and her a favor and YOU be the one to cut the ties with her. She's not calling you and inviting you over because she likes you and wants to spend time with you, she's only doing it out of guilt.
Go find a new girl who will appreciate you. Good luck.
Reply:I have to be honest. I think she was trying to play games with you by inviting u to have dinner with her and her new boyfriend. What the Hell? That was crazy. You made the right decision by not going. Also, you handled it in a very mature way. My advice to you is to do nothing. Let her continue to play her games by herself. She will eventually get tired. N when she does, she will either go on or come back to you trying to reconcile. Also, she is only using the other guy as a rebound to try to get over u and move on. So, don't play any games with her. This will let her know that u are mature, unlike her and that she is not worth your time. Trust me, u will win this way.
Reply:Hon just leave her alone... it will be worth a lot less drama to you... you are the mature one and need to walk away.
I am 25 and think she is acting like a fool
Reply:i think you won this game eitherways.
she let a great guy go and there is no revenge needed.
im sure she wants to get you back and is mentally comparing you with her other boyfriend...she seems to have a bit of pride as well...
just let her be and move on..

Good gift for a friend...?
well my friend who is a girl, birthday is coming up and i was just wondering what kind of choclates and flowers/roses to give her...should i get her a rose or flowers?..i forgot how it goes..flowers to show love? and chocolates means forever?...and wat i was thinking that would be cute is to get a teddy bear that has a zipper somewhere so i can open it and get a bag of chocolate covered gummy bears and put it inside the bear...lol..the bear has babies. what ya think?
Good gift for a friend...?
well if yall are just friends get her daises and some chocolates but not in a heart shape and about the bear thing it sounds cute good luck!
Reply:OH MY GOD SO ADORABLEE%26lt;3*

Jehovah's Witnesses and Holidays?
Since the holidays are coming up, I thought I would make a topic regarding Jehovah's Witnesses and holidays. Why don't we celebrate holidays? Why do you think we don't celebrate holidays?
Well, here are some of the reasons why we don't, but I'd also like to get your responses to the previous questions.
Christmas. The New Catholic Encyclopedia acknowledges: “The date of Christ’s birth is not known. The Gospels indicate neither the day nor the month . . . According to the hypothesis suggested by H. Usener . . . and accepted by most scholars today, the birth of Christ was assigned the date of the winter solstice (December 25 in the Julian calendar, January 6 in the Egyptian), because on this day, as the sun began its return to northern skies, the pagan devotees of Mithra celebrated the dies natalis Solis Invicti (birthday of the invincible sun). On Dec. 25, 274, Aurelian had proclaimed the sun-god principal patron of the empire and dedicated a temple to him in the Campus Martius. Christmas originated at a time when the cult of the sun was particularly strong at Rome.”—(1967), Vol. III, p. 656.
Birthdays. Among heathens, according to Horst Fuhrmann, professor of medieval history at the University of Regensburg, “the birthday celebration was in honor of one’s guardian angel or god, whose altar was decorated with flowers and wreaths; sacrifices were offered to the god of festival, friends offered congratulations and brought gifts.” Professor Fuhrmann continues in the German newspaper Süddeutschen Zeitung: “Great prominence was given the birthday parties held for the emperor, replete with parades, public banquets, circus plays, and the hunting of animals: spectacles disgusting to the Christians.” Thus, says Fuhrmann, Christians “refused to celebrate the birthday.”
Easter. “There is no indication of the observance of the Easter festival in the New Testament,” states The Encyclopædia Britannica. How did Easter get started? It is rooted in pagan worship. While this holiday is supposed to commemorate Jesus’ resurrection, the customs associated with the Easter season are not Christian. For instance, concerning the popular “Easter bunny,” The Catholic Encyclopedia says: “The rabbit is a pagan symbol and has always been an emblem of fertility.”
New Year’s Celebrations. The date and customs associated with New Year’s celebrations vary from one country to another. Regarding the origin of this celebration, The World Book Encyclopedia states: “The Roman ruler Julius Caesar established January 1 as New Year’s Day in 46 B.C. The Romans dedicated this day to Janus, the god of gates, doors, and beginnings. The month of January was named after Janus, who had two faces—one looking forward and the other looking backward.” So New Year’s celebrations are founded on pagan traditions.
Halloween. The Encyclopedia Americana says: “Elements of the customs connected with Halloween can be traced to a Druid [ancient Celtic priesthood] ceremony in pre-Christian times. The Celts had festivals for two major gods—a sun god and a god of the dead . . . , whose festival was held on November 1, the beginning of the Celtic New Year. The festival of the dead was gradually incorporated into Christian ritual.”
Other Holidays. It is not possible to discuss all the observances held throughout the world. However, holidays that exalt humans or human organizations are not acceptable to Jehovah. (Jeremiah 17:5-7; Acts 10:25, 26) Keep in mind, too, that the origin of religious celebrations has a bearing on whether they please God or not. (Isaiah 52:11; Revelation 18:4) The Bible principles mentioned in Chapter 16 of this book will help you to determine how God views participation in holidays of a secular nature.
Jehovah's Witnesses and Holidays?
You go girl! Great witness.
Another sting by the scorpians tail :)
We have a lot of healthy clean fun as witnesses.
We have family get togethers and a blast at weddings.
Our family has "I Love You" days. We decorate the house with love, in the past the kids have baked cakes and made personal crafts and a banner to hang up. We have a HUGE pink gorrilla that says I love you on his chest. When I hang that off our stairs the kids know the "party" is coming and get all excited. We all exchange gifts, no one person is singled out like a birthday. We play games and just have a whole day of fun!
We keep our worship of Jehovah seperated to do our best to keep it pure.
Reply:Wonderful, wonderful information sister, you outdid yourself.
Hopefully somebody out there learned something tonight.

YODA........you are so right! It's always the ignorant and the gutless who feel like they can laugh about what they don't want to understand. They fail to realize that the truth is free to all who earnestly seek it.
Reply:As a Christian I would have to say that even though I'm not celebrating the exact birthday of Jesus. By celebrating any day as HIS birthday I'm celebrating His life and what it means to me.
The same for Easter and any other holiday with the exception of Halloween ( I've never really felt comfortable with that holiday). I'm asking this for information not as a criticism why do people but so much reliance on the Old testament when they Say that they are Christians??? I believe that Jesus died for us but I don't follow the old testement. As for celebrating the Birth of people I think that it's a way of celebrating the person and the impact that they have in your life.
Reply:I was about to link to:

but you made a fine point, and it seams your not asking but answering. =P
Reply:as always edge knows nothing about us. he rather tell lies about us. like unsilence lamb. don't miss the holidays. we don't have boring lives. we give gifts during the year and don't have to pay our master or visa cards off all year long. Jesus was not born dec 25. he told us to celebrate his death on Nisan 14 the last supper. learn what witnesses are all about at www.watchtower.org. I agree with you sister. but people rather lie about us instead
Reply:Well, I'm Catholic, so I don't really know about your religion, but yea...
My friend who is a Jehovah's Witness told me that it's becase it's not in your scriptures?
So that's why I think you guys don't celebrate holidays
Reply:Edge...as usual, you don't know what JW's believe. You, like most others, hear things and assume that is true, when it really isn't.
Reply:Very well put! Bravo!
I appreciate your intense research.
Reply:lol
looks like you don't really need my help....
carry on.

Hey DRAAGON, WE HAVE SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!! I can't imagine not having fun with my brothers and sisters. When I associated with the world, I didn't have the same kind of fun that I do now. I HAVE MUCH BETTER FUN!
Reply:Why is it so hard for people to face these truths and then laugh at others for following the truth? The ignorance of the many outwiegh the guts of the few. Good stuff, keep it up.
Celebrating Jesus' birthday is found where in the Bible? I guess I missed that chapter. If you want to celebrate Jesus' gift to us, then do it everyday...
Reply:You got it all sister..
DRRAGON: We have so much fun! Turst me...a JW's life is NOT boring.
Yes..we can celebrate things as long as they don't have pegan orgins or displease or offend Jehovah.
Reply:Is there a question in there somewhere? JW's don't celebrate holidays because the watchtower tells them not to. Plain and simple. It has nothing to do with God.
Reply:Does it really matter down to the second when Jesus was born? He was that is what matter. Does it matter exactly when He was crucified? What matters is that He died for you and 3 days later he resurrected. Now for birthdays it's the day you were born, now if you don't think you are important enough to celebrate, then I guess you aren't very alive and in good health for the rest of the holidays to each his own I celebrate Halloween because my daughter was born a day before and what better way to celebrate than with a costume party, New Years well it's the ending of one year and the beginning of another. and just for kicks Fourth of July we celebrate a wonderful independence, you see it's why we celebrate the true reason and not just for the heck of it.
Reply:Interesting information, common knowledge to some of us, but it does seem to me that the lives of JWs are extremely boring. Is fun not permitted? Is celebration of anything at all banned?

Christmas. The New Catholic Encyclopedia acknowledges: “The date of Christ’s birth is not known. The Gospels indicate neither the day nor the month . . . According to the hypothesis suggested by H. Usener . . . and accepted by most scholars today, the birth of Christ was assigned the date of the winter solstice (December 25 in the Julian calendar, January 6 in the Egyptian), because on this day, as the sun began its return to northern skies, the pagan devotees of Mithra celebrated the dies natalis Solis Invicti (birthday of the invincible sun). On Dec. 25, 274, Aurelian had proclaimed the sun-god principal patron of the empire and dedicated a temple to him in the Campus Martius. Christmas originated at a time when the cult of the sun was particularly strong at Rome.”—(1967), Vol. III, p. 656.
Birthdays. Among heathens, according to Horst Fuhrmann, professor of medieval history at the University of Regensburg, “the birthday celebration was in honor of one’s guardian angel or god, whose altar was decorated with flowers and wreaths; sacrifices were offered to the god of festival, friends offered congratulations and brought gifts.” Professor Fuhrmann continues in the German newspaper Süddeutschen Zeitung: “Great prominence was given the birthday parties held for the emperor, replete with parades, public banquets, circus plays, and the hunting of animals: spectacles disgusting to the Christians.” Thus, says Fuhrmann, Christians “refused to celebrate the birthday.”
Easter. “There is no indication of the observance of the Easter festival in the New Testament,” states The Encyclopædia Britannica. How did Easter get started? It is rooted in pagan worship. While this holiday is supposed to commemorate Jesus’ resurrection, the customs associated with the Easter season are not Christian. For instance, concerning the popular “Easter bunny,” The Catholic Encyclopedia says: “The rabbit is a pagan symbol and has always been an emblem of fertility.”
New Year’s Celebrations. The date and customs associated with New Year’s celebrations vary from one country to another. Regarding the origin of this celebration, The World Book Encyclopedia states: “The Roman ruler Julius Caesar established January 1 as New Year’s Day in 46 B.C. The Romans dedicated this day to Janus, the god of gates, doors, and beginnings. The month of January was named after Janus, who had two faces—one looking forward and the other looking backward.” So New Year’s celebrations are founded on pagan traditions.
Halloween. The Encyclopedia Americana says: “Elements of the customs connected with Halloween can be traced to a Druid [ancient Celtic priesthood] ceremony in pre-Christian times. The Celts had festivals for two major gods—a sun god and a god of the dead . . . , whose festival was held on November 1, the beginning of the Celtic New Year. The festival of the dead was gradually incorporated into Christian ritual.”
Other Holidays. It is not possible to discuss all the observances held throughout the world. However, holidays that exalt humans or human organizations are not acceptable to Jehovah. (Jeremiah 17:5-7; Acts 10:25, 26) Keep in mind, too, that the origin of religious celebrations has a bearing on whether they please God or not. (Isaiah 52:11; Revelation 18:4) The Bible principles mentioned in Chapter 16 of this book will help you to determine how God views participation in holidays of a secular nature.
Jehovah's Witnesses and Holidays?
You go girl! Great witness.
Another sting by the scorpians tail :)
We have a lot of healthy clean fun as witnesses.
We have family get togethers and a blast at weddings.
Our family has "I Love You" days. We decorate the house with love, in the past the kids have baked cakes and made personal crafts and a banner to hang up. We have a HUGE pink gorrilla that says I love you on his chest. When I hang that off our stairs the kids know the "party" is coming and get all excited. We all exchange gifts, no one person is singled out like a birthday. We play games and just have a whole day of fun!
We keep our worship of Jehovah seperated to do our best to keep it pure.
Reply:Wonderful, wonderful information sister, you outdid yourself.
Hopefully somebody out there learned something tonight.

YODA........you are so right! It's always the ignorant and the gutless who feel like they can laugh about what they don't want to understand. They fail to realize that the truth is free to all who earnestly seek it.
Reply:As a Christian I would have to say that even though I'm not celebrating the exact birthday of Jesus. By celebrating any day as HIS birthday I'm celebrating His life and what it means to me.
The same for Easter and any other holiday with the exception of Halloween ( I've never really felt comfortable with that holiday). I'm asking this for information not as a criticism why do people but so much reliance on the Old testament when they Say that they are Christians??? I believe that Jesus died for us but I don't follow the old testement. As for celebrating the Birth of people I think that it's a way of celebrating the person and the impact that they have in your life.
Reply:I was about to link to:

but you made a fine point, and it seams your not asking but answering. =P
Reply:as always edge knows nothing about us. he rather tell lies about us. like unsilence lamb. don't miss the holidays. we don't have boring lives. we give gifts during the year and don't have to pay our master or visa cards off all year long. Jesus was not born dec 25. he told us to celebrate his death on Nisan 14 the last supper. learn what witnesses are all about at www.watchtower.org. I agree with you sister. but people rather lie about us instead
Reply:Well, I'm Catholic, so I don't really know about your religion, but yea...
My friend who is a Jehovah's Witness told me that it's becase it's not in your scriptures?
So that's why I think you guys don't celebrate holidays
Reply:Edge...as usual, you don't know what JW's believe. You, like most others, hear things and assume that is true, when it really isn't.
Reply:Very well put! Bravo!
I appreciate your intense research.
Reply:lol
looks like you don't really need my help....
carry on.
Reply:Right on Hannah.
Hey DRAAGON, WE HAVE SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!! I can't imagine not having fun with my brothers and sisters. When I associated with the world, I didn't have the same kind of fun that I do now. I HAVE MUCH BETTER FUN!
Reply:Why is it so hard for people to face these truths and then laugh at others for following the truth? The ignorance of the many outwiegh the guts of the few. Good stuff, keep it up.
Celebrating Jesus' birthday is found where in the Bible? I guess I missed that chapter. If you want to celebrate Jesus' gift to us, then do it everyday...
Reply:You got it all sister..
DRRAGON: We have so much fun! Turst me...a JW's life is NOT boring.
Yes..we can celebrate things as long as they don't have pegan orgins or displease or offend Jehovah.
Reply:Is there a question in there somewhere? JW's don't celebrate holidays because the watchtower tells them not to. Plain and simple. It has nothing to do with God.
Reply:Does it really matter down to the second when Jesus was born? He was that is what matter. Does it matter exactly when He was crucified? What matters is that He died for you and 3 days later he resurrected. Now for birthdays it's the day you were born, now if you don't think you are important enough to celebrate, then I guess you aren't very alive and in good health for the rest of the holidays to each his own I celebrate Halloween because my daughter was born a day before and what better way to celebrate than with a costume party, New Years well it's the ending of one year and the beginning of another. and just for kicks Fourth of July we celebrate a wonderful independence, you see it's why we celebrate the true reason and not just for the heck of it.
Reply:Interesting information, common knowledge to some of us, but it does seem to me that the lives of JWs are extremely boring. Is fun not permitted? Is celebration of anything at all banned?

I’m very angry right now. Any advice to calm me down?
Yesterday was my daughter’s birthday, then one who died four years ago. We went to the cemetery to put up a new wind chime as a birthday present. When we got there we noticed that there were bright bits of plastic and ribbons every where and when we got to my daughters grave, we saw that all of her fake flowers, statues, trinkets and even metal flowers were mowed down….mowed! Not just hers but from every grave from that line. I pulled plaques that were put up on a Sheppard’s poll from in the dirt. I hope they busted their lawn mower blades on those metal flowers.
I’m very angry right now. Any advice to calm me down?
Hi Kerri,your anger is justifiable anger and there is nothing wrong with this,Jesus showed this same anger against injustice in the temple.,that`s the first thing, the second point is this,the deed has been done and you cannot turn back time to undo it so you have to let go because if you do not then your justified anger will fester into unjustified anger and it this uncontrolled type that causes more problems, I promise you if you do not let this go you will feel ill within.
You have bravely put your protest across to the cemetery officials and you can rest assured that you did the right thing.
If by any chance this type of incident happens again to others then you could get together and present a petition of protest.
Reply:hopefully writing it down like this has helped get it out. It always helps me when I'm angry just to have some sort of vent...
sorry kerry xxx
Reply:I understand your frustration but all that happened were that trinkets were destroyed by an accident. Whatever your beliefs about where your daughter is (or isn't) and what she may or may not be doing can not be changed by a lawn mower. Take a deep breath.
Reply:i understand how you feel...i lost a son a long time ago.
it's very hard to deal with this kind of grief...it never really leaves. as hard as it is try to remember that your daughter isn't really there.
i don't know what your beliefs are, but try to take comfort in the fact that her spirit is still with you...she lives in your memories.
i don't know how long you had your daughter with you...my son was only a month old. i am not going to tell you to stop thinking about it, because that's not possible. i will say try to focus on the time you had together.
take the warm bath, listen to some calming music, and try to let go of the pain.
bright blessings and comfort to you.

First of all, let me say you did the right thing in demanding accountablity from the cemetary.
Second, give yourself permission to cry, then beat up a pillow, take a hot bubble bath (with lavendar oil if you have some) and if you had good times with your daughter (you don't say how old she was when you lost her) -- remember those, especially her laugh....
Reply:I recommend a heavy bag--you need to hit something after that
How can people be so disrespectful?
Reply:I understand your anger. When we discovered that some hoodlums had been out in the cemetery where my Mom is buried and had actually driven over some of the graves and left tire tracks we were furious. I'm surprised that the caretaker of your cemetery would have mowed those things down instead of removing them first. Do they have any signage about removing things from the graves for mowing? If not, then their actions were unforgiveable. I'm sure you're not the only person who was incensed. I guess all you can do is chalk it up to insensitivity and stupidity. That doesn't do much to assuage your anger, but we have to realize that there are boobs in the world who have no respect for other people's feelings.
Reply:You have to deal with what's really making you angry (i.e. the loss of your child). I honestly have no advice on how to deal with that, but I'm really sorry that happened to you.
Reply:Aweeee Sweetie, O am so very sorry. Take a deep breath and have a good cry, then let it go. You did the right thing by making that call. I wish I could just give you a big hug right now.
Reply:Stop and think about what this incident means in the grand scheme of things. There is nothing to be done about it. No one was physically hurt in the process. The trinkets and whatnot are just THINGS. Are these things really worth all this negative energy? What purpose does this anger serve?
Yes, it was an asinine thing to do and it sucks, but it isn't worth any more of your time. Just pick up the pieces and use it as an opportunity to get new trinkets and symbols.
Might I also suggest that you remember how grateful you are for all that you have and have been able to experience, rather than being upset for not having more. I don't mean it will make it all better, but it is a far more positive perspective from which to view the world.

My significant other didn't buy me a b-day gift, how do I address this without sounding materialistic?
Ok, so I have been dating this guy for the past few months and he knew my birthday was coming up but he did nothing for me. I had a birthday dinner with friends and he made it super late. He later told me he was looking for flowers but the shops were all closed. It's now 4 days after my birthday and I still have friends wanting to celebrate my b-day however he doesn't say anything about my b-day. He has money. That's not an issue. Is this a hint for something?
My significant other didn't buy me a b-day gift, how do I address this without sounding materialistic?
The best way to help is to hint about your present in joking way. For example;
"You must really got a big birthd gift for me, huh?" or
"Ok hun, where did you hide my birthd present?
Makes some jokes about it and see what happens. Good luck.
God Bless
Reply:maybe he never experienced celebrating birthdays in his family - maybe he doesnt know what to do - or - maybe he is not that serious about you.
Reply:Maybe he doesn't care or he doesn't seem to understand the point of giving presents. I hope it's the second possibility
Reply:Just confront him about it and tell him that the fact that he seems to care so little about you upsets you and you want to know if there is a reason behind it. Maybe he is just getting ready to surprise you, maybe not, just ask him and see what he has to say about it all.
Reply:Some men are not like women...Men don't see Birthdays the way women do.. Nothing to worry about. My fiance forgot it was my birthday and it hurt me...I think that your b/f thinks that since it's not your birthday anymore why bother get you anything it has passed.. He gave the effort in trying to get you flowers annd that's a big thing. It was the thought that count, wether or not you were still empty handed.
Reply:yes. he is skum. he did get you a card or something, 20$. at the lest even if you are a new couple.
wow!!! i never
Reply:be sneaky, ask them when their b-day is and what they might want for a gift, then they will get guilty
guilt will pester one to no end and they will fess up soon, don't worry

What do YOU give HIM?
ok, so boys have it easy, for there girls birthday, or valentines day/anniversary's and stuff, they just give flowers, necklace, chocolates............ect
now im talking like 7-8 graders. too
but what do the girl give them???
What do YOU give HIM?
i've been told that some guys like wallets. personally i don't like wallets. shirts are ALWAYS a good choice, kind of like the staple gift equivalent to gift cards. i think people in general like money and gift cards but personally i think that's cheating. i like cool gagets like that 15minute battery charger but that's 40 bucks (if he's a jock prick dont get him gagets, just stick with the shirt). i would also go by what he does, likes, and has. so if he has an mp3 player buy an accessory for it, if plays soccer buy him a ball, if he likes movies buy him a dvd he would like, stuff like that.
if you are not a risk taker, again, you can't go wrong with a shirt. if he has a sense of humor buy him a shirt that says something funny but not too much that he would only look at it and not wear it. color counts at times as well. figure out what size shirts he wear, maybe ask a close guy friend of his.
i wouldn't recommend jewelry unless he's really into that stuff like "zomg! bling bling!" wouldn't recommend dinner unless he's mature enough to not be suspicious. i LOVE good food but i'm an old fut. treating him to lunch is fine, i think. a chicken sandwich is simple, non controversial (because it's cheap), and yet thoughtful.
Reply:most guys like clothes. get him a nice shirt. what's his style? express or a n f or yellow rat bastard??
buy him dinner
get him a promise ring. it doesnt need to be fancy.
Reply:A thank you, a kiss, a hug back. Or something they would like.
Reply:I think it all depends on what ocassion it is, what your status is and how long its been that way.
B.day's
Friend: dinner, tickets to go see a movie, show, clothing,posters,....depends on wat he likes
boyfriend:dinner, clothes, watch, glasses,...Keep in mind that if you guys havnt been dating tht long you should never get somthng with anything engravd...its too personal.
Reply:The key to giving a gift to ANYONE is to listen to them and consider the things that they are interested in. If your man digs a particular sports team, why not give him a jersey or some other sports memorabilia? Your guy is into movies? The Criterion Collection dvd's make great gifts because they are remastered versions of famous films! Take your sweetie's likes and dislikes into account, and you are bound to make him more excited about your gift than you will be about yours!
Reply:we love gadgets.
Reply:Wristbands from champs or other sport stores always worked for me.
Reply:Man, that is a tough one. I'd guess like tickets to a concert of their favorite band, a new video game (or game system if you've got the money), a gift card to their favorite store, tickets to a sports game, or if they're into sports or music get them a signed guitar, football, baseball bat, basketball, drum sticks, or whatever by someone they like (as in band, artist, or sports figure). They really do have it easy, but they could think we have it easy too, because they're totally worried about what we'll think because we're a bit more picky than them, guys on the other hand I don't really care as much as us or are as picky.

I need christmas gift ideas for my girlfriend!!?
By the time christmas gets here, me and my girlfriend will have been dating for 6 months. I want to do something pretty big for her. I love christmas, I love giving gifts and making people smile, and I want to make this girl smile more than she ever has in her entire life. Only dilema is... I have NO ideas on what to do for her or get her. She's 15 (btw, so nothing too overbored here). I want to get something nice, I have a job so I don't have much of a budget here, as long as it isn't too overboard. For her birthday (which was last month) I got her a bracelet and flowers. Well for christmas I want to get something mind blowing and something she'll like, so I need suggestions here. I know you're all thinking "well you know her better than we do" and that's true, but I honestly have a complete blank mind right now, I really don't know what to do for her. So please ideas or suggestions, I'd love to hear them. =]
I need christmas gift ideas for my girlfriend!!?
How about a village building from Department 56? They're collectible buildings for the holidays, and they come in many different series, one of which I am sure will fit. What's cool is, if she likes it, you'll never run out of ideas again because they make so many different buildings and accessories for each series....

Question for girls?
ok i like this girl and her birthday is on tuesday what should i get her
and if flowers what kind?
Question for girls?
nothing too extravagent caz that will scare her off. Get her somthing same, but thoughtful. Got any inside jokes? Give her something to do with that or if all creativity fails, get her something silly that would make her laugh. I wouldn't go for roses (that's a bit too much if she doesn't know you like her).
Reply:It really depends on how well you know her.
You can get her a movie, a CD she likes...
A gift card.
Reply:if shes one of those kind of girls that just LOVE the corny stuff, then flowers would be great. any kind really, roses of any color or just a mix of flowers. and most definitly write a card for her, writing how you feel, or write a poem about her or about love or something. or you can take her out to her favorite restaurant. teddy bears are adorable also :) any one of these would be great really
Reply:i'm gonna say stuffed animal :) one that's reaaaaaaaaaaally soft and fluffy =D
Reply:Her favorite candy, or bake her cookies! And make her a card.
Reply:A birthday card and a hug...not roses or flowers thats to much
Reply:Give her 11 red roses and one fake plastic red rose. Tell her you'll care for her until the fake one dies.
Reply:Roses find out whats her favorite color and go from there
Reply:stargazer lillys. don't go for roses it shows that your not creative. make her a card too.
Reply:I think that is so sweet you want to surprised your friend. The most important gift you can give her is to be kind and gentle and most importantly, treat her with utmost respect. Most girls love red roses and Ferrero Rocher chocolate, can't go wrong!
Reply:I say flowers, ask around find out what kind of flowers she likes and what her favorite color is.
Reply:give her a birthday card
flowers are too much i think
Reply:It cant be expensive otherwise it might scare her off, but it shouldn't be to cheap either, i would avoid jewelery until you know her better,
I suggest flowers, not Roses though they are so clique, get her something unique like an orchid.
Reply:Well it would be great if you could find out her favorite. If you can't do that send, and I mean SEND, a gorgeous mixed bouquet of really quality flowers and a sweet note.
Reply:I think flowers are too cliche. Just a simple card would be nice.
Reply:Ok i would get her a rose and some candy and a card she would love that and after school if you can take her out 2 eat some were nice! She would love it! But don't tell her where you are taking her! Good luck hun !
Reply:flowers are good, pink flowers mean you like her. a body care gift set would probably impress her too. i really appreciate it when my man picks something out that he likes. good luck!
Reply:Something you do :) You may bake something, or... a birthday card, or something that means a lot to her :) And flowers... well I agree that roses aren't very creative you can see some flower meanings at http://marriage.about.com/od/flowers/a/f... but I recommend (according to the meaning) white camelia, forget-me-not, gardenia, or white lily :) (which are my favorites xD)

Reply:flowers of course will make her happy but dont get red roses thats to predictable go to the flower shop and find a unique beautiful flower
Reply:anything but roses they are to blah everyone gets a girl roses.. i say a mixed bouquet .. or Lilies with white and pink.. they are soo pretty
goodluck!!!
Reply:do you know what she likes? for example, my soon-to-be GF loves giraffes, so ill get her a nice stuffed giraffe
Reply:Girls always like earings (if she has her ears pierced.) Check out walmart because Claire's earings give infections. For flowers don't go to the extreme like roses. She will love a dozen dasies or some other simple flower. Good luck!
Reply:if you want to get her flowers get her a dozen of roses.
Reply:well tomorrow you should try to find out what she likes first. Maybe keep it simple, with a birthday card and some chocolate.
Reply:get her 12 diffrent flowers
and say " I didnt know which kind you liked best!"

Reply:a pack of condoms for you to share
Reply:Red roses!!!!!
Reply:it all depends if you have been going out for a long time get her a ring or something like that if it has only been a littel bet of time bring her for a dinner then a movie

and if flowers what kind?
Question for girls?
nothing too extravagent caz that will scare her off. Get her somthing same, but thoughtful. Got any inside jokes? Give her something to do with that or if all creativity fails, get her something silly that would make her laugh. I wouldn't go for roses (that's a bit too much if she doesn't know you like her).
Reply:It really depends on how well you know her.
You can get her a movie, a CD she likes...
A gift card.
Reply:if shes one of those kind of girls that just LOVE the corny stuff, then flowers would be great. any kind really, roses of any color or just a mix of flowers. and most definitly write a card for her, writing how you feel, or write a poem about her or about love or something. or you can take her out to her favorite restaurant. teddy bears are adorable also :) any one of these would be great really
Reply:i'm gonna say stuffed animal :) one that's reaaaaaaaaaaally soft and fluffy =D
Reply:Her favorite candy, or bake her cookies! And make her a card.
Reply:A birthday card and a hug...not roses or flowers thats to much
Reply:Give her 11 red roses and one fake plastic red rose. Tell her you'll care for her until the fake one dies.
Reply:Roses find out whats her favorite color and go from there
Reply:stargazer lillys. don't go for roses it shows that your not creative. make her a card too.
Reply:I think that is so sweet you want to surprised your friend. The most important gift you can give her is to be kind and gentle and most importantly, treat her with utmost respect. Most girls love red roses and Ferrero Rocher chocolate, can't go wrong!
Reply:I say flowers, ask around find out what kind of flowers she likes and what her favorite color is.
Reply:give her a birthday card
flowers are too much i think
Reply:It cant be expensive otherwise it might scare her off, but it shouldn't be to cheap either, i would avoid jewelery until you know her better,
I suggest flowers, not Roses though they are so clique, get her something unique like an orchid.
Reply:Well it would be great if you could find out her favorite. If you can't do that send, and I mean SEND, a gorgeous mixed bouquet of really quality flowers and a sweet note.
Reply:I think flowers are too cliche. Just a simple card would be nice.
Reply:Ok i would get her a rose and some candy and a card she would love that and after school if you can take her out 2 eat some were nice! She would love it! But don't tell her where you are taking her! Good luck hun !
Reply:flowers are good, pink flowers mean you like her. a body care gift set would probably impress her too. i really appreciate it when my man picks something out that he likes. good luck!
Reply:Something you do :) You may bake something, or... a birthday card, or something that means a lot to her :) And flowers... well I agree that roses aren't very creative you can see some flower meanings at http://marriage.about.com/od/flowers/a/f... but I recommend (according to the meaning) white camelia, forget-me-not, gardenia, or white lily :) (which are my favorites xD)
Good luck :)

Girls i need help bad?????????
my girlfriend is turing 16 this year and her birthday is on a school day i thought about sending her flowers and a scooby doo ( it is what she calls me her scooby doo ) stuffed animal is that a good idea need a woman's insight?
Girls i need help bad?????????
That's a wonderful idea!. Heads up though, that you may want to check with the school to see if she can have a delivery there. If not, send it to her home, but if she CAN get a birthday delivery at school, that's the way to go. She'll feel like a queen for the day, and all her gal pals will be green with envy.
Good luck!

How should I deal with my boyfriend's JEALOUS sister??
I really need advice! My boyfriend and his little sister (who is in college) are SUPER close. They "hated" each other growing up, but in the last 3 years, they became the best of friends (no kidding; he told me this on our first date). I had no problem with that whatsoever; on the contrary, I thought it was great. And, when I met his sister for the first time, we got along well due to the fact that we shared many mutual friends. We hung out, ate dinner together, and I purchased a gift for her for every occasion (her birthday, christmas, etc...) I even would bring her and her family flowers and gifts whenever I had the chance. However, in the past year, she has grown incredibly spiteful against my relationship with her brother. What should I do??
How should I deal with my boyfriend's JEALOUS sister??
If I were you I would confront his sister about this. Tell her that you don't want a fight, but you know that she is talking behind your back and being really rude. Tell her that you don't understand why you guys used to get along so well and now she practically hates you. And you usually want to do the "I" statements. When you talk to her, don't say "You do this" and "You do that" because that will just make her get defensive. But I'm sure that if you just sit down and have a nice conversation with her and make sure she knows that you're not looking to get on her bad side or anything maybe she will open up. And tell your boyfriend he needs to open his eyes and tell him that every time he gives in to his sister is just encourages her to keep doing what she's doing because she knows now that everytime she talks bad about you it's not going to matter because her brother will forgive her anyway. Hope I helped a little.. good luck!

I need christmas gift ideas for my girlfriend!!!?
By the time christmas gets here, me and my girlfriend will have been dating for 6 months. I want to do something pretty big for her. I love christmas, I love giving gifts and making people smile, and I want to make this girl smile more than she ever has in her entire life. Only dilema is... I have NO ideas on what to do for her or get her. She's 15 (btw, so nothing too overbored here). I want to get something nice, I have a job so I don't have much of a budget here, as long as it isn't too overboard. For her birthday (which was last month) I got her a bracelet and flowers. Well for christmas I want to get something mind blowing and something she'll like, so I need suggestions here. I know you're all thinking "well you know her better than we do" and that's true, but I honestly have a complete blank mind right now, I really don't know what to do for her. So please ideas or suggestions, I'd love to hear them. =]
I need christmas gift ideas for my girlfriend!!!?
don't get jewelry!! unless she really hints at it. get her something special. like maybe you have an inside joke, or y'all had an awesome memory and somehow you could represent that in a gift.
or you could just get her something that she suggests
Reply:a wedding ring would do nicely.
Reply:You can afford Tiffany's ?
yes, an engraved pendant would be a lovely gift.
i was going to suggest REAL perfume.
by Chanel. If you can afford tiffany's, you can afford one ounce or real perfume.
BTW - - there is a type of rose called FIRE AND ICE.
they don't look that great on the net, but in person they look magical. just thought you might want to know.

Taking photographs of houses...?
I got a digital camera for my birthday this past June. I love to take pictures of nature, flowers, the sky, sunsets, sunrise, etc. I am also attracted to unique or historic architecture and often go for walks around my city photographing historic homes and buildings.
Is this legal? I have heard recently that a person can't take a picture of another person's house without their permission. Is this true? If I can take pics of people's houses, can I then edit the pictures so the house looks nicer, and post those pictures to public accessed websites? What about public buildings such as libraries, colleges, churches?
I'm not asking for people's opinions about whether or not they would let someone take photos of the outside of their home or not, I want to hear from people with a legal background....
Thank you.
Taking photographs of houses...?
You can take pictures of anything that is in public. Thats why all the movie stars get so pissed. If your taking picture of a house you can't take ones of the inside, unless of course your invited in. And you may be accosted if the people don't like you taking pictures and the police will tell yu to move along but it isn't a crime.
The laws are different in every state but I feel pretty confident that if your out during the day and take a picture of a house it is not illegal. However skidoctor below makes some very good points.
Reply:In my neighborhood, going around taking pictures of people's homes will get you an opportunity to meet some of our local police. Police pretty much have to respond to complaints of something called "suspicious activity". People are uneasy with the type of activity you describe, because you could be planning some sort of crime or burglary. The police know this because it is a tactic used by criminals/
If you have a ligitimate reason for your unusual hobby and your explanation satisfies the police, its all good. However, it is likely they will ask you to leave the neighborhood.
If there is a break-in or other crime committed in the area following your activity, guess who the cops want to speak with?
Photographing public buildings is even worse and will get the attention of police very quickly.
Unfortunately, you have a hobby that may get you more police exposure than you are comfortable with.

Why aren't y'all celebrating Christmas today?
Is this Jesus Christ’s birthday?
Perhaps we should deck the halls with boughs of spring flowers, because an English astronomer suggested that Jesus might have been born on September 15, 7 BCE. Dr David Hughes, of Sheffield University, argued that September 15 is the real Christmas for the following reasons:
In the Gospel of St Luke we read that Joseph took Mary to Bethlehem because "... there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria. And all went to be taxed, every one in his own city" (Luke 2:1,2). Such a decree occurred about 8 BCE.
King Herod (Herod the Great) was so infuriated that a rival had been born (the ‘King of the Jews’) that he ordered the massacre of all baby boys in Israel, but Mary and Joseph fled to Egypt. They stayed there for two years until Herod’s death, said to have closely followed a lunar eclipse. Lunar eclipses occurred in 4 BCE and 1 BCE.
The distinctive astronomical phenomenon that happened between 8 BCE and 1 BCE, that could be equated with the Star of Bethlehem, is the conjunction of the giant planet Jupiter with Saturn in the constellation of Pisces (considered the Zodiacal sign of the Jews). This began on May 27, 7 BCE and continued for some months – long enough for the three wise men (astrologers) to follow the phenomenon cross country ...
Why aren't y'all celebrating Christmas today?
Jesus is lore.
Celebrating X-Mas on December 25th is as good as any other date. Not much going on then anyway.
But I get your point.
Reply:Careful, now--someone might start looking into Saturnalia or something... :D
Reply:Because Its Not Christmas Thats Why.
Reply:I don't celebrate Christmas. It is a pagan holiday that was around before the birth of Jesus Christ
Reply:Uh, September is in the autumn, not the spring, in the Northern Hemisphere.
I still don't see where the September 15th date came from.

Reply:Christmas is celebrated on December 25th because that used to be the time of Yule (it is now around December 21st). Christianity combined Yuletide items--particularly the "Christmas tree"--to overshadow the Pagan celebration.

Perhaps we should deck the halls with boughs of spring flowers, because an English astronomer suggested that Jesus might have been born on September 15, 7 BCE. Dr David Hughes, of Sheffield University, argued that September 15 is the real Christmas for the following reasons:
In the Gospel of St Luke we read that Joseph took Mary to Bethlehem because "... there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria. And all went to be taxed, every one in his own city" (Luke 2:1,2). Such a decree occurred about 8 BCE.
King Herod (Herod the Great) was so infuriated that a rival had been born (the ‘King of the Jews’) that he ordered the massacre of all baby boys in Israel, but Mary and Joseph fled to Egypt. They stayed there for two years until Herod’s death, said to have closely followed a lunar eclipse. Lunar eclipses occurred in 4 BCE and 1 BCE.
The distinctive astronomical phenomenon that happened between 8 BCE and 1 BCE, that could be equated with the Star of Bethlehem, is the conjunction of the giant planet Jupiter with Saturn in the constellation of Pisces (considered the Zodiacal sign of the Jews). This began on May 27, 7 BCE and continued for some months – long enough for the three wise men (astrologers) to follow the phenomenon cross country ...
Why aren't y'all celebrating Christmas today?
Jesus is lore.
Celebrating X-Mas on December 25th is as good as any other date. Not much going on then anyway.
But I get your point.
