What do you think?

This is the first paragraph from a story I'm writing.


As I have done on many such mornings, I twitched aside the curtains and surveyed the panoramic view my seventh-floor window offered. The girl was there again, a dependable Ra who ushered in the sun. She stood outside the building at a flower stand that had been set up overnight. It was not one of the more pompous ones, with each breed and family organized into neat castes. Here the plants were flung together in promiscuous abandon, with tulips married to roses and hyacinths necking with cornflowers in the breeze. She eyed the selection as children do in candy shops, and finally laid a gloved hand on a basket of lilies. The jackal-faced clerk nodded and took her money. The girl then turned and entered a taxi, which slid like a stick of butter over a hill, settling among the glossy scarabs that were gathering outside a cemetery.

What do you think?
you obviously have no idea how to write decent literature.





with that much writing already done the cannibals should have eaten her by now!

Opinions on this poem?

Seconds old and shrieking


My blue baby


They said you couldn’t breathe


But you were warm


My blue baby


You were mine





Three years old and smiling


My blue baby


Sniffing cornflowers


They said you were all wrong


But you were all there


And my blue baby,


You were mine





Sweet sixteen and crying


My blue baby


They said you couldn’t feel


But you felt for him


And my blue baby,


You were mine





Twenty-seven and kissing


My blue baby


They said you wouldn’t last


But you were there


Dressed in white


And my blue baby,


You became his.

Opinions on this poem?
i agree with nancy - too many "blues"





other than that - i like it
Reply:I think it's very moving. But I think it would have more impact if you took out all the "blue's" until the last stanza. Make it more like a surprise to the reader. (Just my opinion!)
Reply:I understand completely where you are coming from, and where you ended up with this poem! I'll bet your daughter cried when you gave it to her at her wedding too. For that purpose it was a wonderful sentiment, for a poem to publish, it would need to be reworked, but it is beautiful as it is for why it is written. Thanks for sharing.
Reply:Its very interesting. I like it a lot.


What do you think of this poem (not mine)?

Some of you may have already read it! It's 'Litany' by Billy Collins:





You are the bread and the knife,


the crystal goblet and the wine.


You are the dew on the morning grass


and the burning wheel of the sun.


You are the white apron of the baker,


and the marsh birds suddenly in flight.





However, you are not the wind in the orchard,


the plums on the counter,


or the house of cards.


And you are certainly not the pine-scented air.


There is just no way that you are the pine-scented air.





It is possible that you are the fish under the bridge,


maybe even the pigeon on the general's head,


but you are not even close


to being the field of cornflowers at dusk.





And a quick look in the mirror will show


that you are neither the boots in the corner


nor the boat asleep in its boathouse.





It might interest you to know,


speaking of the plentiful imagery of the world,


that I am the sound of rain on the roof.

What do you think of this poem (not mine)?
It's a good example of Billy Collin's work and what has made him a popular poet, one that even non-poets know.
Reply:It is a beautiful play with images, metaphors in particular:





It is possible that you are the fish under the bridge,


maybe even the pigeon on the general's head,


but you are not even close


to being the field of cornflowers at dusk.





I'd add I'm the jigger in a blind person's toe!





It reads like a song and pleasant to the ear.


Billy had a sharp ear for that always.
Reply:i think it is funny, yet ...hm, it gives out a lot of images to play with ang i guess it can make ppl give the words a deeper thought, overall i can say i enjoyed it.

Flowers for a winter wedding.?

The bridesmaids are wearing cornflower blue.

Flowers for a winter wedding.?
with that blue, its hard to give you anything like red...since you don't like yellow, then go with just a few different shades of blue! i've seen it done and its very cool, put in the bouquets some "bouquet jewelry" and your set!

Reply:As much as I HATE pointsettias at a wedding, you may want to incorportate some white or light yellow ones if you can find them...or at least cream.





My colors were periwinkle (or cornflower) with a hint of yellow but I was married in May...





Since they are more of a summer or spring color (to me anyway), you might be able to pull of the potted points to give it more of a Christmassy effect...they would be pretty anywhere.





Good luck and congrats!

Art/wall decor for teen bedroom?

My room was recently re-painted. The walls are a tan color with one accent wall that is a cornflower/periwinkle blue. I would like some ideas on cheap DIY ideas for my walls. Something like cutting a picture in half or thirds and putting it on picture frames in a sequence. Pictures of the craft would be great just so I can get a feel of what it looks like.

Art/wall decor for teen bedroom?
Stretching fabric on inexpensive stretcher frames (found in art stores) can be a great way to get some color/graphics on the wall. The frames are easy to slip together, then use a staple gun to stretch and attach the fabric to the frame.





If you can paint a design on the wall - find a design you like and use an inexpensive projector to enlarge the image onto your wall. A neat effect is to use a paint color a tone lighter or darker than the main wall paint color.
Reply:I think that is a great idea and I have seen it done many times on HGTV. Sorry I don't have anything to show you.


Appropriate colors for a fall wedding?

I really want to use light blue (cornflower) and light green as colors at my afternoon/early evening wedding in September. Is there etiquette around that, or can I just choose the colors I want?

Appropriate colors for a fall wedding?
A. You can have the colors you want, no matter what season or month.





B. Since September is one of those 'in between' months - not quite Fall, but not Summer anymore- you can get away with a lighter color and those 'seasonal' people will be ok with it.





C. There is NO etiquette that says you can only have certain colors at certain times. There are recommendations, but nothing set in stone.





Have the colors that will make you happy - that's the only rule!
Reply:Choose the colors that make you happy!! Sounds like you have some great ideas!
Reply:I think those are lovely colors, but to make it more autumn themed I would add a gold color of some sort.
Reply:Typically people would use more autumny colors, but the most important thing to consider is that it is your wedding and you can do whatever you want! Congrats :-)
Reply:Go for it! I don't think weddings need to reflect the season you're getting married in. People get way too caught up in that.


And by the way, those are lovely colors.
Reply:I think that the whole color and season thing is really outdated and you should just do what you want. I know lots of girls getting married in summer who uses black or brown. This is your day, do what you want to do.
Reply:Any colors you want will be beautiful!
Reply:any color you want if you wanted your wedding to tie into the fall time of year they say go for rich colors like red orange and browns
Reply:I think that it's YOUR wedding and you can do ANYTHING you want with it. My wedding was in November and my colors were Pale Pink. BEAUTIFUL! Good Luck!
Reply:it is your wedding choose the colors that you want. The "feel" of the wedding/reception depends on how you use the colors not necessarily what colors you use
Reply:Choose the colors you want! There's no etiquette rule that says fall weddings require fall colors.
Reply:I say those are nice colors for that time of year.

She added further that he was eagerly awaiting a reunion with her.











"Is there anything he needs?" the distraught woman asked, between tears.











The spiritualist went into a transient state, then replied, "He says he'd love a package of cigarettes."

"No." replied the Seer somberly. "But he didn't ask for matches."

"Did you wipe your feet on the mat as you came in?"











"Oh, yes, sir." responded the young man.











"And another thing we are very keen on is truthfulness. There is no mat." said the boss.











Fresh out of business school, the young man answered a want ad for an accountant. Now he was being interviewed by a very nervous man who ran a small business that he had started himself.











"I need someone with an accounting degree," the man said. "But mainly, I'm looking for someone to do my worrying for me."











"Excuse me?" the accountant said.











"I worry about a lot of things," the man said. "But I don't want to have to worry about money. Your job will be to take all the money worries off my back."











"I see," the accountant said. "And how much does the job pay?"











"I'll start you at eighty thousand."











"Eighty thousand dollars!" the accountant exclaimed. "How can such a small business afford a sum like that?"











"That," the owner said, "is your first worry."

The husband was adjusting his tie in front of the mirror tonight before this awards dinner and he asked his wife, "Honey, how many great men do you think there are in the world today?"

What colors would you choose for a september wedding?

I like the combination of maybe a brown, pale pink, what would go with those? Or a brown and cornflower which is a blue green color its really pretty.

What colors would you choose for a september wedding?
Both of your choices would be lovely in September (My favorite month). You could also use gold as a accent color on both of those too. That would give the empression of a fall wedding. Beautiful! Good luck and congrats!! ♥
Reply:champagne
Reply:Usually Fall Colors go over well. if you are thinking brown, make it a soft pastel color, or if you want a cornflower which is a beautiful color, use mabe softer shades of lavender, pink, to like enhance it or that would enhance the shade of white your dress is.
Reply:i love the brown idea, but i don't know about the pale pink. maybe go with like a soft orange.
Reply:I'm getting married this September. I am wearing a Champagne color wedding dress. My bridesmaids are wearing a wine dress. I accented all of that with a little bit of gold. Gold lettering invitations were sent out. My favors are wrapped in wine and gold. Everything looks very elegant. Happy planning!
Reply:Why not all three, brown with accents of cornflower and pink, I think those are lovely colors and it shouldn't matter what the month is just pick the colors you like!!





Good luck!
Reply:My wedding is in September and we chose Blue for the bridesmaids, Azalea for the jr bridesmaids and bright yellow as an accent color. Sounds loud doesn't it?
Reply:you could do a pale blue or green with these two colors. I would definetely stick with the pale colors if you have a pale pink.
Reply:I think either of them will do. It does not matter what time of year you want to do your wedding and what colors you want to do. I like both of the colors, I think they will look nice together. I have seen Sapphire blue done for Sept ( since that is the birth stone for that month) and I have seen yellow and oranges. It really does not make a difference, choose what you like and what you think is best.


For either color combination, you can go to this place

Reply:I like the cornflower idea and brown, but blue is my favorite color. Darker colors are better for a wedding in the fall.
Reply:We're going with gold and light blue. My best friend is using white and orange.
Reply:brown and pink or broen and cornflower which is a shade of blue they woudl both look beautiful. cornflour was going to be my wedding colors but we changed it to lavender. but i love your choice of colors.

There's several potential problems with this stuff besides the glycerin. First off the list of optional colorants include several that either are animal sourced or could be animal sourced, there's also a stearate listed that can be animal based.





A relatively new problem could be all those essential oil extracts they list. Some companies have started using animal based enzymes to increase production of their essences%26lt;sigh%26gt;.
Reply:They are stretching he organic Quite a bit. It appears vegan though





Organic implies that it comes form life.





IT is not the same as 'All natural"





Ocean water is all natural, but drink it every day and you will die. Some of these chemicals scare me. TThe big ones are DPG (Dipotassium Glyc...) and Potassium borate.





Look them up. you may stop using it
Reply:Nope. I saw glycerin in the ingredients, and it is an animal product, made from fat.
Reply:Yes. It has no animal products.

I have heard vague responses from vegan friends of yellow #5, but i never even heard of an info source to check.

Here is my first poem of the day. Please comment??? This poem is copywrited to Steve Enrici 2007?

love





Her eyes stared back at me, a cornflower blue,


Porcelain skin, slick from the sweat, like morning dew.


Legs are as perfect as any long distance runner,


When you put it all together, a perfect stunner.





When we make love, it's kind of like poetry,


The rhythyn, the meter, a perfect soliloquy.


She wears me out, with her youth and pace,


There is no place I'd rather be, lost in her lace.





After a rest and some Kristal champaign,


like two virgin teens, our lust gone insane.


I'd rather be here, in her arms, us together,


Wild horses couldn't drag me away with a tether.





A woman is like something wild and free,


not to be kept in a chamber, under lock and a key.


A woman is best when she knows she has love,


By a man who will trust her, to return like a dove.





But I could be happy, never leaving this place,


Joyfully playing and flailing and kissing her face.


Nothing could bring me, any more joy than this,


As she rises in the morning, on my lips a sweet kiss.

You actually know something about meter! What a relief! However, many of the rhymes are forced (ex: "lost in her lace") and there are some juvenile expressions and cliches: "it's kind of like," "wild horses couldn't drag me away," "under lock and key," among others. However, I love the expression "joyfully playing and flailing," certainly a picture of (very) young people enjoying sex.

Not a lot left to say apart from...Mind your spelling...

On that note, Kristal is over rated. Veuve Clicquot is a cheaper and far superior champagne, though it could be difficult working that into a rhyming scheme...!

And don't forget to simply do nothing, and enjoy just "being".

So..New Wedding date...101 new ideas.?

We pushed our wedding back to April 2008. No problems, except monetary problems. What I'm wondering is, I'm still trying to find pretty cheap bridesmaid dresses. And I don't know what dress I want. If 4 months ahead is when I should buy dresses, that will be christmas time so is it smarter to buy like 6 months ahead or wait and do like 3 months? Any and all ideas for nice small weddings appreciated. I like burnt orange or a bright blue like david bridal's cornflower blue. I'm not good at making choices....but maybe bcause I haven't heard anything just right for me. Any useful help is wonderful. I will try to give otu good reviews for all nice comments and will be picking best answer. Thanks all!

So..New Wedding date...101 new ideas.?
First off your wedding, your choices. Stand up for them now, because there will be plenty of people trying to put you down...it just is that way with weddings.





I am a beauty consultant and a lot of my clients order their make up and products online. I have the name of the company if you want.





Start with a wedding magazine, they have great tips and timelines to go by. Be confident and be prepared, weddings aren't easy, but worth the work.





Go to overstock.com for bridemaids dresses and have them altered. Search classified for bridal gowns, used/new, cheap. You may have to have it dyed the color you want though, but that's cheaper than buying it new.





Good luck
Reply:The bridesmaids dresses will be available 4 months in advanced, so you should buy them at that time. Stick up for your decisions, this is your wedding!!!
Reply:how much is cheap??
Reply:I love the idea that I first saw at theknot.com. Bride doesn't worry with picking the bridesmaids' dresses. She remembers that the dresses do not need to be identical. Bride just selects the color. Bride shows the color to the bridesmaids. Bridesmaids then go out and select their own dresses.





Each girl has found a dress flattering to her, at a price she can afford. Bride pulls the look together with flowers and maybe pashminas. Eliminates a lot of stress.





Go check out theknot.com for ideas. They have some great photos there. Good luck to you.
Reply:I had a small wedding also and we did it fairly cheap=i bought my dress at Davids Bridal during their $99 days sale. With my bridesmaids i choose a color and then let them pick there style. Davids separates are a great choice and are under $200. Also, for favors we did mints on all the tables that said something like "Thanks for coming...." ? After all was said and done we spent like 7000. Just remeber that there are lots of things that you can cut out, like linen table clothes (will anyone notice plastic?) Stuff like that. When making choices, think about weddings you have gone to-what do you remember about the wedding-the centerpieces or the best mans speech-you can't buy memories!!
Reply:You should do what you love. My reccomendation for bridesmaid dresses is to leave that up to the bridesmaids and save alot of hassle. So many brides are on here with "so and so hasn't ordered or dress three weeks before...what to do?". It is also a plus because they are more comfortable, are more likely to wear the dress again, and you don't have to do the awkward "so how much can you afford" convo.





You can get pretty specifc for instance tell your BMs that you would like cornflower blue dresses, floor length. (you can always retain veto power if you are worried they will choose something really inappropriate) They can find whatever is in their price range and it will show off their personalities. I've seen so many pictures where the brides take this road and I prefer them alot more to the carbon copy bridesmaids.
Reply:Well, first off, I would simply choose the color Palette and then let my bridesmaids choose their own dresses.





When I got married that is what I did, and my moh was SOOOO happy. She got to wear a black dress that she loved and I was happy not to have to worry about the stress.


Joke! Worth atleast a giggle and a half!!!?

With a puzzled look on his face an American Indian boy asked,


"Say, mom, why is my bigger brother named Mighty Storm?"


She told him, "Because he was conceived during a mighty storm."


Then he asked, "Why is my sister named Cornflower?"


She replied, "Well, your father and I were in a cornfield when


we made her."


"And why is my other sister called Moonchild?"


"We were watching the moon landing while she was conceived.",


She explained. The Mother Indian paused for a moment then


asked her son "Tell me, Torn Rubber, why are you so curious?"

Decorating ideas...i just bought new furniture and i want to put up window treatments that will look good?

with the new furniture. I have 8 foot ceilings, two windows to decorate and one of the windows is in the center of the wall, but the other window is not centered. The way my livingroom is layed out, to me, makes it very difficult to arrange furnature. Because I rent, there isn't much I can do about that. My husband is really into wolves so we have several pictures and figurines scattered through out the room, the new furniture is a solid microfiber blue (a little darker than country or cornflower type blue). I dont really know what style to call my living room, it's not country or retro...it's more "outdoors-y" i want that feel through out my whole house...so, with all that rambling...I need to figure out great window treatments and maybe area rug ideas to "pull the room together"...any ideas, websites, or pics would be greatly appreciated!!!

Decorating ideas...i just bought new furniture and i want to put up window treatments that will look good?
Since you have an "outdoorsy" look going, you could go a couple of ways with the window treatments. I would consider a blue plaid or something with a light brown in drapes/curtains. The blue to go with your already blue furniture, or the brown being a neutral and a color found in nature.





Here is a nice blue plaid from Country Curtains:

These tab top curtains come in blue/brown:

Or, if you don't like curtains, you could try woven shades which are very natural:

Reply:Did your couch come with accent pillows? What colors are in those? Is there a color in the accent pillows that is the same as one of the colors in any of the wolf pictures? By pulling the color for the curtains out of thngs that are in the room you will help pull everything together. Same thing goes for the area rug.


Will seeds get confused or just grow?

I live in a tropical climate and would like to take some garden seeds, poppies, cornflower, daffy bulbs etc, to brighten up my garden. In the U.K. we sow seeds in spring, if I sow seeds at any time of year in a tropical climate will they get confused or will they germinate anyway?

Will seeds get confused or just grow?
You sowed seeds in the springtime in UK because that was when the soil had warmed to allow the seeds to propagate and they would have the spring and summer to establish themselves during the warm weather.





In a tropical climate, you really don't have to worry about the season you plant, as the seasons are usually so similar, and the ground is already warm.





Sow all the seeds you want and whenever you want, as they'll probably do fabulously well if they can handle the heat of your new tropical climate.
Reply:They will germinate and usually tropical seeds takes about 2 to 3 weeks. BIg seeds need to soak.

Reply:Wills mummy said if he keeps eating his greens he will grow up to a big strong man like Mr Will.
Reply:Many factors govern what make,s germinate and grow.Some will aclimate after one season and have a longer growing life to maturity.P.S. only people get confused dear.
Reply:They will germinate but may not flower properly as some plants need a cold snap to trigger the flowering mechanism. Others will not tolerate the heat or reduced day light hours tropical countries have. It is always worth a try, but check that none of the seeds you intend to plant are classified as invasive by your country's department of agriculture.

What to do with wood paneling in breakfast nook?

I am in the process of trying to figure out my kitchen and breakfast nook remodel for my home. I have decided on a French Country look for the kitchen.....based upon some great Waverly sunflower fabric.....with a cornflower blue background.....and hints of greens and reds with the of course yellow sunflowers........i am thinking of painting the kitchen walls a buttery yellow.....and the cabinets possibly a sand or blue color.......i have run into a dilemma with my attached breakfast nook.........the room is wall to wall wood paneling.....not the cheap stuff.......but still wood paneling.....any suggestions as to colors i should use....and also how to handle the wood paneling.......paint it, pickle it, or leave it?





thanks for the help!


:-)

What to do with wood paneling in breakfast nook?
I would paint the wood french country blue, or a sand color to match your cabinets, you could also do yellow, or just a neutral tan with a yellow trim... good luck mary
Reply:Why not paint it half way up %26amp; put a boarder between the paint %26amp; paneling. (use KILZ on the bottom before you paint its a primer %26amp; paint will stick easier)
Reply:well i'm sure the paneling has a finish over it so u would have to strip it to work on it so i would remove it and save it and reuse it as a wains-coat at 32" high with a chair rail cap.........

Is it safe to wallpaper a bathroom???? Will it only get ruined with moisture?

I want to do a cloud design in my blue bathroom the kids use, when I picked colors I didn't know that the toilet and sink were going to come in a robin's egg blue, the tub and surround are like a cornflower blue, and the vanity top is like a blue/gray marble. This is our first house,modular, no one told me these things, I thought I was just picking a vanity top color. How do I bring all these different hues together without painting the walls white? I need a cheap way, house is only 2 yrs old %26amp; hubby refuses to rip apart the bath. Anyone had a similar problem? HELP!

Is it safe to wallpaper a bathroom???? Will it only get ruined with moisture?
My bathroom wallpaper lasted forever - till I got sick of it and ripped it down. What would be easier though is to paint your bathroom a very pale blue that doesn't fight any of the other blues. Buy a sea sponge at the craft store and practice making clouds! I did it when my daughter was small and it was beautiful. You can add touches of pink or yellow very lightly to the bottom of your clouds too. Make sure you squeeze most of the white paint out of the sponge, you want a light touch. Hope it all works out. It is hard to wallpaper around a toilet, remember that.
Reply:Thanks for the vote Lisa. Wish I was there to help you! Report It

Reply:You'll need to sand the walls to remove the textured surface first. Then be sure and seal the drywall with a wallpaper sealant. If you don't the wallpaper sticks to the drywall paper and will make an extremely difficult 2nd go around when re-papering later. Do not use just the prepasted paper. Be sure and add a paste that is diluted 50/50 with water. Follow wallpaper directions and you should be in good shape. Around the tub you might want to apply a small bead of Dap to keep it from potentially pealing back. Good luck.
Reply:We have wallpapered the bathrooms years ago and they get steamy and the paper is tight as always. Go for it. All your plans sound great. I can imagine, the picture is beautiful.~~~Jill
Reply:wall paper is a bad i dead for a bathroom. to get a cloud effect paint the walls blue, let then dry and then with a sea sponge dad in do paint take off the ecces apply to the wall and ther you go , you got a cloud effect. i did that for my sisters bay's room and it looks totally awsome !
Reply:Like the idea of bringing in wallpaper to bring the colors together. Bathrooms are the perfect place for wallpaper. Easy to clean and it will hold up well.
Reply:Although paper comes pre-pasted do yourself a favor and still paste it. Most important make sure you size your walls 1st. Good Luck
Reply:You can wallpaper a bathroom - but I wouldn't do it again if someone offered to pay for it for me! After a while, steam from lovely hot showers will loosen the paper (sooner if you weren't meticulous about hanging it, later no matter how careful you were!) Try a base of a creamy beige, the sponge the varying shades in your bathroom over that - I did a similar treatment in my lower level bath, using a sandy base, and sponging it with pale blue, green and pink. Got a very nice ocean-beachy feel, with no chance of peeling or mold!
