I need to know some florists in LA that send flowers same day delivery.?
try www.conroysflowers.com





If you order before 12 noon, they'll have your order in on the same day. I live in the L.A area too and I've used conroys for last minute relationship saves (you know what I mean ;-) lol... It's a little on the expensive side but they're really reliable.





Hurry! you only got like 42 minutes before noon!





Actually... I just realized, noon cutoff is for saturday deliveries... Since today is Tuesday, you actually have till 2 o' clock. But you should still hurry.

I just wrote up a memo and I am posting it in all employee's email prohibiting V-Day gift deliveries.?

I am sick of these florists coming into this office on V-Day and Sweetest Day with crap for my employees. I have the memo already written and it will also be posted. Any employee getting these type of deliveries will get a verbal warning on the first offense and will be terminated on the second. Productivity has sucked in here today. Do any of you blame me for this? Give me your honest views.

I just wrote up a memo and I am posting it in all employee's email prohibiting V-Day gift deliveries.?
You're disciplining your employees for receiving gifts they have no control over. Most people do not send florists to themselves, their loved ones do and by now it is far too late to be saying anything of it. If you didn't want people entering the building you should have sent the memo out at least a week ago so they could tell their SOs NOT to send them anything because they're going to get in trouble for it. Doing anything right now will only upset your employees and anyone who possibly receives anything. It's ONE day. Get over it. Holidays are normally unproductive because people have their minds elsewhere. What you SHOULD send a memo over is reminding everyone that even though today is Valentine's Day, you would like to see productivity stay as good as always and just gently remind them to try to stay on task as much as possible.
Reply:If people want to send a person flowers, the receiver has no control over it. Employees need little perks in their job in order to feel appreciated. One would be an easy going boss who doesn't try to stop fun things from happening, such as not allowing flowers etc. to be delivered.





Are you the Grinch who stole Valentine's Day? Lol. Even though people may be chatting and checking out other people's gifts today, tomorrow will be back to normal. Let them enjoy a little less productivity for one day. Besides, you're on Yahoo answers while at work (just like me), and that's not very productive.





I hope you didn't send that memo.
Reply:Well if you aren't the owner start filling out your resume. If you ar get ready to close your doors .
Reply:You cant punish your employees because someone else loves them and wants to express it. You dont want to be the boss thats an *** and everyone hates. It's only for 2 days out of the year and dont be such a grouch about it.


If it really is a big problem, then maybe try to come up with a plan that isnt so harsh, but include your employees in the policy making that way you dont look like an ***!
Reply:Well, it's kind of hard when you may have no control over who sends you something. Sounds like a lost cause to me. Your memo's going to be trampled on.
Reply:You will get just what you're asking for if you do that. You may be the boss, but you are clearly not a leader. Squash their spirit of good will today and they will sabatoge you in ways you never dreamed of. So what if one day is low, make it up and suck it up or you will be the sorry one. Honestly, what's the big deal from one who was a boss.
Reply:Do you think productivity will get any better by being such a dictator? You must be a very miserable person. Let people enjoy themselves, it's just one day.
Reply:That's horrible! The employee is not soliciting the delivery, it is something special done FOR them by someone else. If your significant other wants to surprise you by sending you a cookie bouquet or something, why should you be punished for that.





It seems a little like sour grapes to me. Don't penalize others for your lonliness. This is a day that comes once a year, and makes people feel loved and special, don't take that away from others. You have 364 other days to make them miserable.
Reply:You know what, our lives are so busy with work, running here and there etc. that I think it's good for a persons morale. You should notice a change in attitudes for the better. How dare you try to ban something this special to a person. Ya know most people don't have a lot to look forward to. It's work, go home work some more, go to bed, get up go to work, Come on think about it.
Reply:seriously ur pathetic! just because u dont have a gf or anyone to send u something at the moment... u dont have to be so harsh.... im mean its just one day for god sake...





if it annoys u so much.. i suggest take the day off work ;)





p.s probably ur productivity has sucked too.. if u have time to waste on yahoo answers, writing the memo, emailing it, complain and being all lousy.people with lousy moods work bad :D
Reply:you must be very unhappy and jealous because no one loves you.
Reply:So, how's your productivity on Christmas day? How about on July 4th? There are only a few holidays during the year that interfere with working. My suggestion is you tear up your memo, and let your employees enjoy feeling a little bit special on Valentine's day. Happy employees are more productive. If you run the place like a Victorian-era sweatshop, I can assure you that productivity will suffer.
Reply:if u were my boss and you give me a warning over something out of our control i would tell ya to put your job where the sun dont shine !!!!!!!!!!
Reply:you are just joking...





If you are not, you are just a little, miserable, insignificant human being.


Don't waste any more time here and use it on trying to become a happier person. I don't think you are contributing to productivity writing on yahoo answers, are you?





Is that even legal???





I still think you are joking...

Why do people continue to get me flowers for my birthday when I keep telling them I hate getting flowers?

WHY DO PEOPLE GIVE FLOWERS WHEN THEY REPRESENT NOTHING BUT DECAY?





Flowers are a nice gesture but flowers are VERY EXPENSIVE when ordered from a florist %26amp; delivered… They don’t last long… I have more vases then I know what to do with%26amp; end up giving them to GoodWill to join their collection of cheap “free” vases that come with flowers…





I find it depressing how the flowers are meant as a good thing but then they, like everything else, begins to decay, %26amp; end up rotten %26amp; in the trash… Last year on my b-day I got THREE DELIVERIES OF FLOWERS! I had no where to put them all %26amp; had to give them away to neighbors!





This year I only got 1 (thank god) but it doesn’t even have anything I can dry to use in an arrangement. They are all just ‘throw-out’ flowers. VERY EXPENSIVE ‘throw-out’ flowers





I would MUCH rather have some kind of plant that I can care for %26amp; keep for more then a week!

Why do people continue to get me flowers for my birthday when I keep telling them I hate getting flowers?
I am definitely laughing right now! Not at you, but with you. Every year I get clothes from people, and every year nothing fits. I tell them please don't buy me clothes, nothing EVER fits. But what do you think happens-you got it-CLOTHES! The only difference between me and you is my cat doesn't eat my clothes.
Reply:People do that too me too...I hate it. What the hell can I do with flowers. How about a grocery certificate so I can gorge my depressing self in ice cream. People are just too lazy to be personal anymore.
Reply:You've gone really into this %26amp; perhaps they can't be bothered to be so deep!
Reply:I feel the same way. Flowers are expensive and they die quickly. I feel they're a waste of money. I'd rather have a plant or a gift certificate.
Reply:Are you telling them collectively, as a group, or individually? As a group, they may not be listening. Tell each one, and tell them the options. Cash or gift certificates. If they cooperate, send them a thank you note. If they send flowers anyway, give them away, and let them know you did. Tell them you'd rather have NOTHING than flowers, thank you very much.
Reply:Why? Because they want someone to send THEM flowers! They don't listen to you either. Make a "wish list/gift list" and email to everyone. Have things on it that are in many different price ranges. Tell everyone that you just found out your are allergic to flowers and can't have any in your house so you wanted to help everyone with gift ideas! Okay, I know that is a big fib, but you need to take drastic steps! Make sure you have lots of ideas on the list and put in there that, when in doubt, you LOVE gift cards to your fav stores. Hopefully, you will get some different gifts next year!
Reply:no theyre not listening, but you cant tell people what to give you unless they ASK, try to enjoy the flowers.
Reply:to bug you . just start saying you hate getting $$$ and there ya go your bank account will starrt to grow as your gifts get smaller

Anyone Use ProFlowers?

I did and it was a joke! Flowers were supposed to be delivered on Thursday and didn't arrive till Monday. To top it off, they were completely dead. I called on Friday and got my money back. They tried to tell me I could only have a partial credit. I told them that the flowers would be 100% dead when they would arrive, if they ever would arrive. So they gave me all my money back.


They shipped using FedEx and were scheduled for Thursday. When they didn't arrive, I called on Friday morning. I was told that the truck had too many deliveries and they couldn't get to mine, but since they were left over from the previous day they would be the first to be delivered. Wrong! they didn't come till Monday and of course they were completely dead.


I'll never use ProFlowers again. I'll call a local florist or 1800flowers.com





Yahoo; Are you going to delete this post too?

Anyone Use ProFlowers?
I did and I never will again. Mine were frozen and went bad.
Reply:sorry nto sure
Reply:I dont think it was pro flowers fault though- I have had delays with fedex. They should not accept shipment if they cannot deliver as promised. I have had good flowers delivered with pro flowers although the person who orders always does it early so there is no rush-so I guess that is the secret?
Reply:I've never used them, but definitely won't now!! I'm sorry that you had such a terrible experience, but you're lucky they gave you your money back. I hope it didn't ruin your day!!
Reply:I bought from them for Mother's Day and got 2 dozen roses for my mom. She got them on Friday (I had chosen them to be delivered either Thursday or Friday) and they arrived beautifully. My mom said they died by Sunday or Monday. She called ProFlowers and they said that they would replace them and they did - with flowers that actually lived.





Part of the problem for you was FedEx. They are absolutely horrible becuse we've used them for mailing stuff and they always are delayed - claiming it is out of their control. One time made sense - it was when that tropical storm was in Florida, but this most recent time makes no sense. FedEx is who you should be more upset with.
Reply:We had a awkward experience but I think it had more to do with the delivery guy. It was for Mother's Day and he left them at the wrong house and left them on the uncovered porch (of the wrong house) in pouring rain. We called them and they said the flowers had been delivered and wouldn't refund since they had been signed for. A few days later the person returned home from vacation, recognized the name, and brought them to our mom. They were african violets so totally dead. We called them again and they were really good about it and sent her a brand new batch the next day and refunded part of our money.
Reply:I think local flowers are better. I have worked in a nursing home, and some people long distance sent their mother pro flowers, and some called the florists here. The florists here had prettier flowers and arrangements.
Reply:I agree, worst flower company ever. Roses looked horrible upon arrival and they died in two days. I get better flowers for cheaper from the local grocery store!!!


B'day cake and flower delivery in Rome? 30 gift ideas for husband's 30th b'day pls.?

My husband and I are going to be in Rome for his 30th b'day. We stay in London and I want to get flowers and cake delivered to the hotel. I can't find anything on the net. Can you help me in finding a website or give a good bakery's name and suggest a florist for flowerdelivery. Thanks!





I also want to give him 30 gifts for his 30th and need lots of ideas. Any help?!!





CAn u also suggest a good romantic restaurant for dinner?

B'day cake and flower delivery in Rome? 30 gift ideas for husband's 30th b'day pls.?
phone the hotel you are stayin in and have them arrange the flowers and cake. cant help you on the 30 gifts as i dont know what your husband is into sorry
Reply:30 gifts could be scary even for someone who cares about his birthday


I think, however, it would be pleasant to receive 29 semi-precious stones, each with a special reason/meaning and one nice big gift..... Report It

Reply:Interflora deliver world wide so you can pre-order the flowers before going to Rome. I am sure if you speak to the Hotel Manager or similar they can certainly arrange for a birthday cake for you either from their own supplier or from a local bakery.





As for other gift ideas then maybe some items from the year of his birth like a football programme, coins, newspaper, special events items/memorabilia. Type his birth year into Ebay and see what comes up. No need to buy from there but it may give you some more ideas.





Hope you both have a wonderful time :-)

The hotel staff can help you get your cake and flowers delivered there; you only need to ask them.
Reply:Hello Niti,





What a lovely idea!





You can make one of the presents a treasure hunt. Hide all the presents with a clue as to where to find the next present! You can prepare this before you go as most hotels now show layouts for the room, so you can plan where to hide stuff and make appropriate clues.





Gift ideas (I've thought of "light" things that will not weigh much in your case)





* Write a small children's book with drawing /paintings /photoes about something that means a lot to both of you.


* Something "intimate" but fun (I'm talking sex toys or clothes!)


* get a photo engraved on a dog tag http://www.photoengraving-f2f.com/


* A voucher that says you will do a chore that he hates for 1 week (eg I promise the bearer that I will do all washing-up for 1 week)


* Tickets to an event he would enjoy


* Massage oil (!!) You can make your own with a few drops of essential oil from any health shop or Boots and italian olive oil - put it all into a nice bottle.


* Men love gadgets! Here are some ideas


http://iwantoneofthose.com/ (I want the bath thing in the "under £15" !)





Romantic restaurants? I don't know where you are staying, but one of these should be close

ANSWER THIS ONE! Would it matter to you if your florist used environmentally friendly vehicles for deliveries?

I am doing this survey for a class for a class so I need to collect as many responses as possible. So....if you are ordering flowers for delivery, would it matter to you whether the florist's vehicles were environmentally friendly (Hybrid) or not? And why?

ANSWER THIS ONE! Would it matter to you if your florist used environmentally friendly vehicles for deliveries?

I wanna surprise my bf by sendin flowers on his bday at his work place BUT.....?

Da problem is my budget is only below RM 100 wic includes delivery + flowers. Worst case is Im in Shah Alam and he is in Nilai. No florist wanna do it for less than RM 180.Any other possible ways?or at least Florist in Nilai/ Seremban area..I cant find any on the web..Really need sum piece of advice here..

I wanna surprise my bf by sendin flowers on his bday at his work place BUT.....?
Asking Florist in Shah Alam to send all the way to Nilai is bit too far. That's why the florist charge you a hefty sum.





Have you tried calling the florist in Nilai instead? In that way you could also work out your payment arrangement with them. The yellow pages or the phone book should be a good source for you to find out the phone number of florist in Nilai.





I was orginally going to recommend some web sites to you. But most website charge a hefty delivery charges (Rm45++).





If I'm your bf, I'd be more pleasantly surprised if you'd shown up un-announce in a sexy outfit than a bouquet of flower.
Reply:dont send a bloke flowers for a start it looks gay and would possibly embaress him but maybe he is in contact with his feminine side and would like that but most men i know would be embaressed
Reply:tht's a gud idea.





i have no clue weather shah alam and nilai is. the best thing you could do is.... ask him to come online, and start ur webcam, and give him the surprise.





it sounds nerdy but surprise could b anything.... nt necessarily flowers... it could b like sply prepared dance sequence... tht you do for him while showin him the flowers u bought for him.
Reply:Dont waste your money on flowers and delivery since it is so expensive. Phone him instead and wish him personally over the phone, that should be much better.You can phone on line too its much cheaper, use hotmail, msn phone. Or install Skype.com.
Reply:surprise him with something else that is way much better %26amp; with low budget but very rich emotions, invite him to your house when it's empty, wear a very sexy teddy and polish your toes and wear a sexy highheels, if you can't afford the teddy, wear only the high heels (he will understand :))





Believe me it's not only sexy but very much romantic %26amp; you will never forget this moment ever
Reply:Sorry, your idea sounds absolutely lovely, but you are better of sending a letter with a money note in it.
Reply:call FTD.
Reply:As a guy I'd rather not get flowers, especially at work.

Delivery Problems





A new business was opening and one of the owners friends sent flowers for the occasion. but when the owner read the card with the flowers, it said, "Rest In Peace". The owner was a little peeved,and he called the florist to complain.





After he told the florist about the obvious mistake, the florist said, "Sir I`m really sorry for the mistake,but rather than getting angry, you should imagine this: somewhere there is a funeral taking place today, and they have flowers with a note saying, "Congratulations On Your New Location".

If no one saw the flowers did they exist?

I spent $170 on a floral spray for a loved relative who's funeral I could not attend. I placed the order with the florist recommended by the funeral home and they seemed very accommodating.





After speaking with most of the relatives who did attend the funeral, nobody recalls seeing these flowers or my card. I called the florist and they later told me they had the receipt and the delivery driver specifically remembers delivering them.





I'm not a wealthy woman and the flowers being there meant a lot to me. I don't want to hurt the florist financially if they did what I paid them to do, but don't I deserve some sort of refund if they didn't?





This is all the information I have, so I have to make a decision based on what I've written. I'm considering filing an investigation request with my credit card company to have the charges reversed.

If no one saw the flowers did they exist?
Those things sometimes get mishandled at the funeral home. You could dispute the charge, but they will offer a signed receipt. The burden of proof is on you, and you have no proof.


Tipping wedding vendors...?

We're getting married in 2 weeks and trying to iron out tipping issues. Any advice on how much to tip (if at all) each vendor/contract would be much appreciated:





Photographer


Wedding cake (for delivery - we do pay a delivery fee)


DJ


String quartet


Pastor


Bartenders (we pay per person per hour + 18% gratuity - tip above and beyond?)


Caterer (we pay 18% gratuity - tip above and beyond?)


Florist





We are also going to provide dinner for the photographer and DJ. Is this usually what is done? Thanks in advance!

Tipping wedding vendors...?
Since some of the gratuities are already stated in your contract I would not tip above and beyond unless the service calls for it.





For the wedding cake delivery I wouldn't worry about it because you will not even be there to greet the delivery person.





For all the others the tip should really depend on the service. If the service/performance was really amazing then go ahead and tip. If not their normal fee should be fine.





You do want to make sure you tip your limo driver though especially if they do a good job. 18% seems like a good number to go by.





It is up to you on whether you want to provide any of the vendors with a meal, but it is not unusual to do so.
Reply:You're covered. But you will most likely pay a delivery and set up fee for your cake. We also provided dinner for any vendor that was there. Be sure to pay the pastor but you don't need to tip him.
Reply:tipping???


they are charging enough


Pastor, if he is charging a fee


then just give that amount


if no fee then be generous


to him.
Reply:umm dang i want to come to your wedding you seem like a very giving person...lol..just kidding with ya...you dont need to tip any of those vendors..you are already paying for their services...why would you tip them? ur caterer isnt Pizza Hut right? lol...sorry just kidding again......anywho you dont have to tip any of those vendors...good luck...remember to have fun..and CONGRATS!
Reply:I was recently married %26amp; for tips we:


Photogapher - tbd


Cake Delivery - 0 (included in delivery fee)


DJ - $100


Pastor - $100


Bartender - $50 (he made alot in other tips)


Caterer - included gratuity is enough





We did provide dinner for the photographer %26amp; the DJ too.





Hope this helps you a little
Reply:I am not American so I never understood about your tipping but can I just say why do you have to give extra money when you are already paying for their service? It's not like they aren't getting money from you already?! If what you are paying is in your contract, leave it at that, Any more is excessive and way unnecessary. They just want to get even more money from you and it's greedy. If they do a good job, just say a hear-felt 'thank you' which is much more meaningful than money.
Reply:I agree with the previous post, I think your getting ahead of yourself. I didn't tip any of my vendors because I payed more than enough to keep these vendors in business. Also, wait and see what happens. Especially the photographers, how will the proofs come out, along with albums.

The floral arrangement I paid to be delivered to my mom, 2000 miles from me, were not sent, what to do????

I went to a local florist in a small town in California to send a mothers day floral arrangement to my mom, who lives in a small town in Ohio. Even though I ordered and paid in cash on Monday they scheduled delivery for the following Saturday, after promising delivery between 8 a.m. and noon at noon they informed me that it might take till six since its a holiday delivery. At around 4 they advised me they would be delivering until 8 pm. My mom is in her 70's and perfers being asleep by 7. I'm so frustrated at this pont my mom has no flowers and the shop in Ohio does not deliver on Motheres Day. Any suggestions??? Oh, by the way this cost about sevanty dollars to expirence. Ideas?????

The floral arrangement I paid to be delivered to my mom, 2000 miles from me, were not sent, what to do????
If they guaranteed delivery, you may have some recourse for a refund...however...in the future , you may find it more benficial , not be mention cheaper to call a florist in Ohio yourself. Do a little research on the web and find one near mom and call them direct, most florists have toll free numbers, then you can find out what they have in stock and if and when they can deliver it:)
Reply:i would sue .. or ask for money back .. BE FORCEFUL!!
Reply:GET A REFUND FROM TH EFLORAL WHERE YOU HAD THE FLOWERS SENT IS THE BEST IDEA I HAVE,SORRY I AM OF NO BETTER HELP
Reply:call them back on Tuesday get your money back and make them send her 2 sets for free . just for the mess they maid. they will do it. ( maybe you should throw in a cry here and there) it might work.


I want to send flowers to a girl?

I'm planning to send flowers to this great girl who went to prom with me last year, but this is my first time sending flowers a girl. So I need some help. Here is the list of questions.





1) Should I use a florist company on the internet, such as FTD.com, or local flower delivery shops? I live far away from her now, and I don't know the details about local florists near her house. Can I trust FTD.com?





2) Should I send a bouquet without a vase or with a vase? You only send flowers in a vase to people who are sick, am I correct? Which form do you expect flowers to come in when your partner send you flowers?





3) I want to give her a card with personalized message with the flowers. Can I do that?








If you have any experience of sending flowers or receiving flowers, please post me some answers. They will be greatly appreciated. I always give 5 stars to best answer and I will give two thumbs up after choosing it! Thank you!

I want to send flowers to a girl?
FTD is a respectable company and they have lovely arrangements you can choose from on their website. That said, I prefer to use local florists because they are very helpful. When I sent my mom flowers on her birthday I was able to have an arrangement that had her favorite flowers and colors in it. As for your other questions send them in a vase, it is always much nicer to be able to view the flowers then to have to cut the stems and arrange them yourself. And either way you send them you can add a personalized message. Good luck.
Reply:Oops. My other account has not reached level 2 to give a thumb up. sorry about that. Report It

Reply:If you haven't ordered from Martha Stewart Flowers then you should. They have a vast variety and arrangements starting at $29.99. Unlike most floral websites, Martha Stewart Flowers provides beautiful fresh-cut flowers. Report It

Reply:Why are you sending girls flowers? When you went to the prom with this girl, you probably ended up paying for all kinds of things, so you owe her nothing. What is it that you hope to accomplish by sending her flowers?
Reply:I used 1-800-flowers.com. They do a really great job with flowers and other things as well, like teddy bears, etc. And you get to put your own personal greeting. I would think flowers with a vase would be best, they always pick out a great one to match the flowers. Good luck hun!
Reply:Obviously you really like this girl a lot. It's so cute that you want to send her flowers. I know that girls love flowers from my own experience. I am a girl!! Well if it were me you were sending the flowers to, I would just buy some. I'm not a particular girl, %26amp; i would love to have a guy send me flowers. I'm sure she'll be happy with whatever you choose to do.


Good luck


Calling all Brides!-Would you buy your fresh wedding bouquets from the Internet?

If there was a website that shipped nationally, gave a garuntee for fresh delivery,and gave you a wide selection of pre-constructed wedding bouquest for a low cost...would you consider buying your bridal party bouquets through that web site instead of using a local florist?

Calling all Brides!-Would you buy your fresh wedding bouquets from the Internet?
Nope. A brides flowers are an important part of her day, even if your guarantee it, there is no way to really 100% ensure they will be beautiful when she walks down the aisle. (a guarntee just means she would get her money back) Her day would be ruined, what would she be expected to do if your company was in CA and she was in Ohio? She couldnt call and get a replacement bouquet brought over. Also, how can you ensure the arrival of the bouquets on time? If she is getting married at 8 am she would need them to get there by 7 am, fed ex isnt going to deliver that early #1 and I wouldnt trust a shipping company to give any window other than "before 10 am" things are delivered in order they are loaded on the truck, if you live far from the distribution site you have a good chane of being first, but the closer you live the further back on the truck you are.


Not such a great idea.
Reply:No. WIth a floirst you have more options, they will work within your price range as well. Plus, if you get it from the florist that day %26amp; have a problem with it, they will correct it. When my florist delivers all of my flowers, she doesn't leave until she gets the OK from me that they are what I wanted. Don't get that from the internet.
Reply:Nope, not a chance. Even overnight shipping could damage the flowers, and they'd start to wilt. Also, things to wrong with shipping all the time.
Reply:no, i wouldn't the quality is just not gonna be there, you can't really see their work, and flowers just don't need to be out of water that long with our adaquit preparation to the stems which you can't do once they are in bouquets...I worked at a florist for 2 years and i just wouldn't be happy im sure
Reply:NEVER! Remember you'll have to pay transport too. What if they get your bouquet wrong? Then what?
Reply:I would prefer to have a store location, where I could inspect the regular quality of their merchandise, and how flowers are handled and delivered.





Flowers shipped at this time of year may run into delays with winter weather. They may be exposed to cold winter air and wither. They may arrive on time, but be completely not what you expect. And if you order on the Internet, it's not like you can send a representative over to their store to demand replacements in the hour before the wedding!





Yes, it might be lower cost, but it's much higher risk, with fewer options to fall back on if something goes amiss.
Reply:I think I would at least consider doing this. I have ordered flowers online before and they have arrived in perfect condition. What website is this so I can take a look at these bouquets?
Reply:no


everyone knows the plant will go bad from sitting in the box for a week or so


my mom bouhgt a plant and it came to us as dried out
Reply:Nope. Never buy what you can't see. ESPECIALLY for a wedding!
Reply:I wouldnt because they could be dead by the time they get to your house. And they might not look like they show.
Reply:no I would not because it will not look right when it gets to your house.


Do you Love Flowers? Especially Roses? You'll enjoy this!?

This woman and her husband have this really bad fight. He goes off to work the next day without talking to her, but she doesn't care.





She's busy doing her thing around the house. All of the sudden, around 1:00 in the afternoon, the doorbell rings. She goes to the door and opens it and there is a young delivery guy from the local florist shop with an enormous, beautiful bouquet of long-stemmed red roses...the expensive ones...from her husband.





She says to the delivery guy with disgust, "Oh CRAP!"





The delivery guy says, "What's a matter lady? You don't like roses?"





She replies, "Yeah, I like roses, but do you know what this means?"





He says, "No, Lady, what does this mean?"





She answers, "It means for the next two weeks I'll be laying on my back with my legs in the air."





He replies, "Geez, Lady, don't you have a vase?"

Pay as you go road tax?

http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/traveltax/


Sarah Kennedy was talking about this proposed car tax scheme on Radio 2. Apparently there are only a few days left to register your objection to the 'Pay As You Go' road tax.





The petition is on the 10 Downing St website but they didn't tell anybody about it. Therefore at the time of Sarah's comments only 250,000 people had signed it and 750,000 signatures are required for the government to at least take any notice.





Once you've given your details (you don't have to give your full address, just house number and postcode will do), they will send you an email with a link in it. Once you click on that link, you'll have signed the petition.





The government's proposal to introduce road pricing will mean you having to purchase a tracking device for your car and paying a monthly bill to use it. The tracking device will cost about £200 and in a recent study by the BBC, the lowest monthly bill was £28 for a rural florist and £194 for a delivery driver. A non working mother who used the car t

Pay as you go road tax?
Lets put it this way - If they start this up, both myself and my wife will have to quit our jobs as we will not be able to afford to get to the City where we work and public transport is not an option. Do you think I could take the government for constructive dismissal or something? After all, it will be because of them that we lose our income!!
Reply:Should be like America, no road tax as the tax is added to fuel. So the more miles you drive, the more road tax you've paid. Very simple solution.





Example. say your car did 40 mpg (4.54 lt to a gallon). You average 12,000 miles a year which is 300 gallons or 1362 litres of fuel. If the Gov want £160 off you, they need to put 12p on a litre of fuel.





Blokey that drives 12,000 has paid £160 in road tax. Obviously the more or less miles you drive, the more or less £ you pay.
Reply:They've stopped any more signings !!!!!!!!!!!! Or should I say they allow you sign but the figure has remained the same since this morning xxxx
Reply:Thanks I signed it a few days ago.Lets hope theres enough signatures to stop this stupid act.
Reply:It was 1100000 + as of yesterday morning. Thanks to people like yourself who have been posting it everywhere. Its amazing how fast your can spread stuff by email!
Reply:I can't see why they need to even contemplate PAY AS YOU GO TAX.





We already have it....if you drive a lot of miles you have to buy a lot of petrol and that is taxed unbelievebly highly. To top it off they then charge you VAT tax on it when you pay as well!!!!!





It's obviously another way for the government to try and sqeeze a few more pounds out of us all.





Don't let em back in next time!!!!!

We English need to re-grow our backbones.


Just wanted to say Good on you Love! Thank-You for being an upstanding civic minded Briton.


Back-slaps and a digital shout of ales all round!
Reply:thanks, good site. I often go there to see what petitions I should sign. There's lots of legislation that is being passed through because we don't care enough to find out or can't be bothered to check. Road pricing is a con! We pay the highest petrol tax in Europe, and we also pay road tax. Plus we have the highest parking charges in Europe and we have the congestion charge.


Now I wouldn't object if there were viable public transport alternatives and you could get around London easily and cheaply BUT London's Mayor (why doesn't someone assassinate him?) has just put the public fares up. Oh, they want to encourage 2-wheelers into London instead to save on pollution and then, in the same week, withdraw all the free parking for motorcycles.


This is nothing to do with the environment and EVERYTHING to do with just getting more money in tax.


Everyone should sign this petition and, at the next general election, VOTE LABOUR OUT. They are crippling this country and its citizens.

Compulsary ID cards, Smoking Ban, Now Car Tracking all of which we have to pay extra for, none of which I recall actually voting on? What kind of a state is this becoming. I am not sure about the rest of you, but as a person living on my own earing ok money, I still dont have any extra cash to chuck away for driving my car too and from work. Great Idea Blair... but erghhh when was the last time you tried to use public transport? aprat from no guarantees it will turn up, it being dirty, the abude you face by the YOB culture. half the time there isnt any other method of getting too and from work? See for yourselfs, if you cant afford to use your car, and cant get a lift permenatly how would you get to work? could you do it? What kind of a place are we living in? How f*cking real is the UK government and why is it that the workers, the honest decent people just trying to build a life get s*it on???? if you super rich you can pick what tax you pay?

People will still drive as they have to already, I dont expect to hear anyone say, I'd like to go to the cinema tonight but I can't afford the cost of the journey!

Reply:The golden public sector pension liabilities (retire at 60, full salary etc.. etc.. ) amount to £1 trillion pounds - thats 1 years economic activity in all UK productive industries.





In real world terms, this means every worker in the UK has to pay £28,000 over his working life, towards someone elses golden pension, before he starts to think about affording his own pension or housing needs. (And its all inflation linked!).





How else are they to raise this money?





Hence we have the introduction of a population register, with draconican fines for forgetting to fill in forms, and where you will be scanned by the state with your fingerprints taken, and also monitors placed on your car journeys to raise taxes. The tracking device will cost about £200 - add to that the cost of your own tracking card - £90!.





This £28,000 per adult, are real payments which they have to somehow force individuals to make.





Using the political cover of a green agenda, and terrorism, they are bringing in these measures to raise tax collection. No mainstream poltical party has the backbone to take on the public sector unions over reform. Not the conservatives or labour.





The ONS has managed to keep this huge amount off the balance sheet of the UK, by claining it does not fall into some or other accounting convention or other nonsense.





This has been 'accepted' by the debt rating agencies like S%26amp;P, Moodys, Fitch because the rating agencies have been waiting for reform of the public sector to materailise from the many promised pension reforms (Turner review).





Now its rapidly obvoius that reform has not come about, and nor will it - the powers to collect immense levels of taxes are to come about instead by monitoring all activity by individuals. .





The UK's A1 debt rating may be placed under credit watch, and then even downgraded.





The financial consequences from this immense taxation means "in the decades that followed, the situation would look dire indeed, becoming similar to what we see in countries like Egypt or the Ukraine"

Currently I am forced to pay £175 per year for "ROAD TAX" then I have to pay 85p per litre for fuel which includes not only fuel duty but then VAT on the fuel duty (Check your recepit) at about 65p per litre so therefore I am already paying 10p per mile in tax !!!!





British drivers are already the highest taxed road users in the world but yet they offer no viable alternative. I had to visit a customer the other day and I would have needed to spend 4 hours on 2 trains and 2 taxi rides each way - Would have cost over £125.00 - I went by car and it took me 2 hours each way and a tank of fuel.

Fight this fascist regulation! Unfortunately I am currently residing in America, so I can not help.
Reply:Man o man, bloody hell, that is totally Nazi fascist trash, I vote emphatically no. Oh I am not sorry I am American but I am sorry I did not see you post of Brits only, but don't you see if we all know these things about our countries that we won't be able to help each other. Don't exclude anyone, think like the UN, and get us all involved, I am a true freedom fighter are you one? Then remember we can make the difference everywhere. Princess Dianna believed that and she tried, may God Bless us All everywhere.
Reply:I agree it is wrong, but I can't help either, I live in the United States. Good Luck.
Reply:that just sounds like the perfect reason to stand up and tear out those little machines everytime you see one. by the way if your required to purchase one have it reprogrammed to not transmit any info and keep returning them until its a complete burden. they just might see it as not cost effective and get rid of it.

Did you know about the downing strret motortax petition?

if you did not - please read these facts and check the link at the bottom.


The government's proposal to introduce road pricing will mean you having to purchase a tracking device for your car and paying a monthly bill to use it.


* The tracking device will cost about £200 and in a recent study by the BBC, the lowest monthly bill was £28 for a rural florist and £194 for a delivery driver.


*A non working Mum who used her car to take the kids to school paid


£86 in one month.


* On top of this massive increase in tax you will be tracked. Somebody will


know where you are at all times.


* They will also know how fast you have been going, so even if you


accidentally creep over a speed limit in time you can expect a Notice of Intended Prosecution with your monthly bill.

Did you know about the downing strret motortax petition?
I did - and have already signed it. The idea is ridiculous, and so I also urge people to sign. Big Brother is watching! (as in George Orwell, not that mindless muck on C4!!)
Reply:Yes, have already signed it and also some others that are on the site. It is worth checking out all the different petitions on there as some of them are quite important, like the one calling for T.Blair to resign and call for an instant general election. Apparently, Downing Street do take notice of the petitions.

Go to this link and sign the petition


Sarah Kennedy was talking about this proposed car tax scheme on Radio 2. Apparently there is only one month left to register your objection to the 'Pay As You Go' road tax.





The petition is on the 10 Downing St website but they didn't tell anybody about it. Therefore at the time of Sarah's comments only 250,000 people had signed it and 750,000 signatures are required for the government to at least take any notice.





Once you've given your details (you don't have to give your full address, just house number and postcode will do), they will send you an email with a link in it. Once you click on that link, you'll have signed the petition.

Florists won't deliever on Sundays?

Why is it so difficult to find a florist that does Mother's Day delivery?





My mom is a nurse and works on Sundays - I'd like to have her some flowers sent but nooooooo.... "We don't deliver on Sundays!," is all I keep getting. I even tried 1-800-Flowers and they said their local shops in that area wouldn't deliver on Sundays.





Good grief.. I'm so frustrated. Any ideas?

Florists won't deliever on Sundays?
Is there a floral shop in the hospital she works at. They are probably open on Sunday and since they are in the same building, would probably bring them to her.
Reply:My daughters both work for florists, and they have been busy since yesterday at dawn doing the mother's day deliveries. If it's important to you that it's delivered to her on Sunday, could you maybe find a friend or someone you know in the area to drop it off at the hospital?





If you call 1-800 flowers, they are just going to call a local florist, a lot of people don't understand that. My daughters were delivering valentine bouquets for 2 or 3 days after Feb 14 which were orders from 1-800 Flowers. I'm sure it will be the same for mothers day.
Reply:get them delivered today.........


there are 50 million Mothers who all expect flowers tomorrow................get a jump on them,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Reply:i found interflora good but flowers by next diabolical
Reply:I've used a few florists in the past - the best was just a local company in Berkshire, the worst was Next. Never would I use them again. The flowers arrived late, they were not fresh and were definitely not worth the price I paid.

Where should I order Valentine's Day roses from?

I'm planning to send roses to my girlfriend's office on Valentine's Day. I won't be able to deliver the roses myself, therefore I will have to rely on a flower shop or delivery service to bring them to her.





I'm looking for quality and reliability at a reasonable price





Are there any good options other than using a local florist near her office?

Where should I order Valentine's Day roses from?
Your BEST option is a local florist. Please don't use one of those toll free or online services. My husband had flowers delivered to me through one of these services and the quality of the flowers was horrible. My friend had this same experience.

Flowers not delivered by FTD on Valentine's Day?

A week ago I ordered flowers from a local FTD shop and on Feb.15 I get an email saying that "at this time we do not have a florist available in your recipient's delivery area who can deliver your product on 2/14." Can you believe that? She lives in the middle of MANHATTAN!! Don't tell me there are NO florists or deliveries in Manhattan!


This is just unacceptable, and on an occasion like this guys have to hang their head in shame because FTD could NOT do their job. This is the ONE day that makes FTD what it is...and they don't deliver.





I'm wondering how often does this happen where FTD can't deliver on Valentine's Day - let me know if you didn't get your FTD flower delivery, as scheduled, on Valentine's Day.

Flowers not delivered by FTD on Valentine's Day?
On Valentines Day, I learned a long time ago to contact the florist directly. When they price is given I include a good tip ahead of time. Remember that tip is To Insure Promptness. As for FTD make sure you stop payment with your credit card company. File a complaint if you can. Then to do damage control with your sweetheart, print out the email and give it to her with flowers that you bring her yourself. When she looks up from reading it, tell her that you were foolish to have trusted anyone else with a message from your heart.
Reply:that sucks. i live in florida and my boyfriend ordered me flowers and they STILL havent been delivered! I have to go pick them up myself NEVER going to have them ordered by FTD again!
Reply:I think what happens was as they were getting paid more fo the flowers in the days of valentines they cancelled the previous orders, and sold it for more.





Well you cant really do much now, you will get the money back or an apology but nothing more, how about you handpick some flowers, from garden, dont have to be roses or very nice, anything that is cute, make a bouquet type thing and give it to her now, she will appreciate it and love you more.
Reply:That's too bad. Please I live in NJ %26amp; FTD is worldwide. Hope your valentine forgave you.

B'day cake and flower delivery in Rome? 30 gift ideas for husband's 30th b'day pls.?

My husband and I are going to be in Rome for his 30th b'day. We stay in London and I want to get flowers and cake delivered to the hotel. I can't find anything on the net. Can you help me in finding a website or give a good bakery's name and suggest a florist for flowerdelivery. Thanks!





I also want to give him 30 gifts for his 30th and need lots of ideas. Any help?!!





CAn u also suggest a good romantic restaurant for dinner?

B'day cake and flower delivery in Rome? 30 gift ideas for husband's 30th b'day pls.?
Can you tell us anything about him? His interests, etc? As for a restaurant in Rome... it's best to ask the conceirge of your hotel - that is what they are there for. You can descibe what type of restaurant you want and they will make you a reaservation. I will tell you though that when my husband and I were in Rome, we just walked around and all of the restaurants we ended up at were amazing. Most of them are small and family owned and they all have their own wine made just for them. It is truly an amazing city. As for flowers and cake, also talk to the conceirge and they will arrange it. Just be aware though, most guys really don't care anything about flowers so keep that in mind. Maybe consider having a bottle of champagne or wine delivered to the room instead. The conceirge might have some other ideas as well.


Gift ideas:


New digital camera


memory cards or batteries for an existing digital camera


Couples massage


Dress shirt with french cuffs


Cufflinks for dress shirt - both of these would be good for your bday dinner out


favorite treat from the USA - never know how much you miss it until you can't get it, lol.


massage oil


you in lingerie


maybe get him something leather while in Rome, like a wallet or belt.


Maybe a watch to remember all the good times you have shared and will share in the future

Low carbon flowers for delivery in Devon.?

I want to send my mum some flowers but I want low mileage - I'd prefer seasonal, locally-grown (certainly UK). She's in south Devon - internet useless all online florists seem to source 'exotic' (high-carbon and air mileage). Is there a website catering to this? Any ideas?

Low carbon flowers for delivery in Devon.?
Your best bet may be at the Village Market, and try to pay the vednor to deliver his locally-grown wares himself. Also keeps the money in the local economy there.

Just buy your mom some nice flowers. sheesh.


Hybrid vs. Gas SUV for delivery vehicles...?

If you were going to order flowers from a florist and you know that one company delivers using a hybrid SUV and the other company delivers using a gas SUV, and the cost is the same, which would you choose? (This is for a class research project.)

Hybrid vs. Gas SUV for delivery vehicles...?
Really good question. in conderation of everything else being





If this is used in an advertisment by the company, it would definately affect my choice -- I would go to the company using the hybrid vehicle. If they used an all electric vehicle I would go to that company. If they used an all electric vehicle that was charged with solar power I would go to that company.





You see where this is leading? Hopefully there will be improving options of vehicles to decrease the carbon load each of us puts into the air.





By the way go see the movie "An Incovient Truth" and take someone with you. Movie trailer below You will get a new appreciation for just how serious your questions answers are and how we must change the way people think about CO2 emmisions.
Reply:Wouldn't make my decision on that basis.

I will only be offering flowers for funerals like crosses, hearts, names spelt out with flowers you know the kind of thing I mean


any help with a NAME welcome

Funeral florist (business name) needed?
Well I was thinking you could go with Angels Flowers.I think that it is fitting for what you plan on doing.
Reply:I would not limit yourself to funerals only. If you get other requests, if you dont do them, just charge a high price and they will go elsewhere. Funeral is kind of a dark word. Necessary, but dark.
