As you can see on the main forum under the title suggestionbox is a small sentence that explains that section further.

I am looking for help to do the other sections. Anyone that has a great sentence can post it here Please remember to tell for which section it is.

THNX!

New to message boards. I mean, I read them, but don't usually use them. How do I set my avatar? And change my time zone? And make my husband buy me flowers?

Well, okay, two out of three...

Up on the bar below the title it says Profile. Click there and go through all of the tabs to set up the forum to your liking. There is also a FAQ but if you still have problems holler. For flowers, ummm...uh....

Put out a pretty vase and attach a post it note

INSERT PRETTY FLOWERS HERE.

Last birthday, I gave DH a specific gift list. SPECIFIC. (Great husband, horrible gift-giver!). He requested a list. Seriously.

On the list (of 3 items) it very clearly stated "roses from Costco". 3 items on the list mind you. My birthday was on the 13th. Flowers arrived on the 27th. By then, I didn't even want them. I mean, he passes a Costco on the way home. How hard is it to stand in line?

Oh, well...he just doesn't get it. From now on, I'm ordering my own gifts online and stacking them, closed, on his side of the bed. I've done that for two years and it works for us. I decided to just stop whining and go for it. He wanted to shop for me last birthday and asked for the list. 3 items on it and I got one of them...two weeks after my birthday. Yep. This year it's back to Amazon and QVC again.

If i post my goofy stories twice just pretend i am senile and let it go. Three times and you can tell me.

My mom nailed this years ago after my stepdad gave her an electric pencil sharpener as a gift and some homecare appliances. Fur was flying. She started shopping for herself, wraping and saying "Oh! Just what I wanted!" He pays the bill. He has gotten way better and sends her flowers on every girl holiday. Their anniversary is Christmas Eve and there is always a pretty little jewelry box to open in front of the family. If not...fur will fly. He got into it and is having pieces designed for her now.

I don't think I have ever gotten flowers from David. I buy them for myself. He gave me a gift once of opal earrings but that is about it on bobbles. When asked what I want for a gift I tell the family, "Clean the house."

hmmmmmm ... well I guess I'm spoiled. Chris buys flowers and plants every once in a while. Of course, he buys what HE likes... aka the grape plants and the orange tree. I like flowers, he brings home an orange tree.. He buys me orchids and Im hoping I dont kill them.
Chris is good about presents for bday and christmas.. better than me now, so thats kinda embaressing. I dont pick out regular shirts, but will get him pjs and his favorite... anything with a dragon on it (but it has to be mean looking not cute dragons --"dragons arent suposed to be cute" and then there is always tools. The saw and router went over well.. as did last years big metal tool box. Men... so wierd.

Hometo, there is no reason you can't buy him flowers. My DH brought me two bouquets on our second date, and usually sees to it that we always have flowers on our dining room table. Sometimes there is a lapse, so I stop at Wally-world and buy him an inexpensive bouquet... and before the bouquet has wilted, he will have more flowers for me. He takes the hint -- some men might not.

Okay, techinically he has bought me flowers.

I mentioned that we'd been married almost sixteen years and he's never bought me Calla lillies (my miniature Callas for my wedding were flown in from overseas...my only spoiled point in my wedding...and they cost as much as my dress and were a tenth of the cost of the wedding! You think he'd know I like Callas!).

So he buys me a calla plant and sticks it in the ground.

Way too practical!

P.S. The calla lillies were flown in from Holland, which, unbeknownst to most Americans is only a part of The Netherlands (well, technically, two out of twelve parts of The Netherlands...but I'm sure Natalia can explain it better than I). Having flowers flown in to my specs is, hands down, the snottiest thing I've done in my life! I still remember my MIL's eyes and how wide they opened when I told her, "Die Niederlande!" (she's German, and my husband moved here when he was 13).

See, now you all know I've been both a sleazebucket and a snot.
But only briefly for both, I promise.

Bonnie...men like getting real flowers? I thought the only one they liked was the little ribbon one sewn to the cleavage part of a bra.

DH is not allow to go close to plants. He'll either overwater them or ignore them .. either way .. he kills them.

Hey! My bra don't have a flower!!!!!!!!!!!

Rhonda

Yes, Heidi, men do like getting flowers, too! At least my man does.

Natalia, my ancestors way back on my dad's side were Dutch. And my sister's name is Natalie, too.

I'm totally computer-literate, and totally forum-illiterate. Help! Is there a folder or something somewhere that will allow me to read all new posts since the last time I logged on? I'm clicking all over tarnation here and not finding the new posts except by chance. Thanks!
