Flowers

Not often enough.

That is so sweet, and kind, and thoughtful and romantic, and, and... way to go! What didja send?

When was the last time I got flowers? Hmmm...probably when I had my son...

So that would be 3 1/2 years ago. Yeah, that's just kind of sad.

And you keep trying to convince us you aren't boyfriend material! Last time I got flowers........my daughter sent me some on my birthday. My husband sends them when he knows I'm about to kill him.

Wow!!! You did goooood.

my dad usually gives me flowers for no special reason. But that's not very often, either. Last time I got flowers from someone other than a family member.....back in my junior year of high school. On Valentine's Day, too. Of coyrse! Ha!

When we lived in Texas, I used to bring my wife roses every payday. When her Mom came to visit I brought her roses, too. Scored MAJOR points with the Mom-in-Law.

Never told her that, in East Texas, you could buy roses at a roadside stand for 1-2 bucks a dozen. (Somehow payday always found me in East Texas...)

Many moons ago, I had a sweet boyfriend who'd pick flowers for me on the way to my house. He'd show up with daisies, or lilacs, or a single tea rose from the yard of the elderly neighbor lady he helped with gardening.

His were the best.

Your friend will love them.

That is a super thing to do, Spooky, bet she'll love them. My hubby never sends me flowers because I'm allergic to them.

Flowers?! Are you getting all mushy on us? Geestinkinwhizz!


What a nice thing to do.

I haven't gotten flowers in a very long time. It's probably for the best. The cats or the baby will probably eat them and it'll just make them sick.

But it would be nice, the thought.

How about these?

Very nice, Jon.
My daughter gives me a bouquet a couple of times a year

That's really sweet Spooky, I'm sure she'll love them.

The last time I got flowers was....oh jeez....June I wanna say...when I went a date with this guy....I think they were Lilies. It was very sweet

Not to be rude, but aren't lilies rather funereal ?

My Dad brought my Mum violets every Saturday.

*Sniff* No one ever gives me flowers. No one ever tells me I'm beautiful. No one ever listens to me when I talk.

Blah, blah blah. That's all my wife ever says.

Funeral flowers can be anything but lots of roses and carnations are commonly used, some lilies as well. Traditionally, lillies in general signify purity, white lilies indicate innocence and youth, calla lilies -- beauty, and tiger lilies signify majesty, wealth and pride.

Again, traditionally, pink roses can mean eternal remembrance, white roses are eternal love and very deep red roses signify mourning and loss.

Flowers are a waste of money.

someone else from the "why should I spend good oney on something that's gonna be dried up garbage in a few days" school of thought. I live with someone like that. I guess my argument would be 'booze is a waste of money, cigarettes are a waste of money, but at least flowers don't kill ya, cause your business to get broke into, or land ya in jail'. And they can put a smile on someone's face.

Flowers can kill if you're alergic.

Booze isn't a waste of money because it helps me put up with people who think flowers are necessary to put a smile on their face.
