How to save a punishment of cash on flowers

Looking to save money on flowers and bouquets? Need only take a closer look at burial plots.


Frank Castle watched on as his family was gunned down by the mob.Their only fault, being witnesses with eyeballs to a murder scene carried out by the mob themselves. Vowing to clear out the mob and all crooks and crims in general, Castle picked up his guns and flexed his arms as his mantle as The Punisher.


At the grave site of his family, Maria, Lisa and Frank Jr, Frank Sr pays his respects. Bringing flowers to their burial plot, he ruminates and pledges to never stop his fight against injustice with a brutal hand.


Freshly picked flowers, often store bought, sitting there for the deceased to enjoy. Any one looking to save money should easily find a nice selection of such arrangements and settings when next they pay a visit to a grave yard in the middle of the day.


Lasting as long as any other placed petals, it's the zero cost (to the wallet) way of having flowers of one's own to hand out and enjoy for the living.



 
 

Origin of the super soldier species water intake

Mystery liquid in a phial, strapping a young anorexic lad down on an examining table and a room full of scientist looking to make a super solder. Tip, inject and crash the palace and the world is given Captain America, Steven Rogers, Sentinel of Liberty and walking symbol of freedom and justice as well as a nifty right hook for those Nazi nasties.

Careful on picking up any funny or strange looking liquid and drinking it, results may vary wildly. Coloured especially.

Blue - looks like people in white lab coats have been around playing with tampons or pads and are still busy seeing how blue turns red.

Yellow - no explanation is needed, certainly not for anyone who has ever been into the smallest room of the house. Or for some, the blue cubicle on the lot. Or for those quaint and dandy, the outhouse so far away from the house in the dark of night.

Pinkish or red - otherwise known as crazy jump juice. To those selling them, it's simply red cordial. Hopefully it's just that and nothing more.

Orange - seems like some body might be taking a lot of vitamins or eating heavy on the beetroot.

Black - put it down, don't think about even drinking this. Might be oil. In which case, head on over to eBay and flog it for all the postage and handling it's not really worth.

 
 

Daredevil may care attitude to meat packing

Not like body image isn't an issue with a lot of teens and adults from the physiques they see staring back at them from the covers and pages of magazines. If chicken fillets are for woman, then surely steaks are for the males.

Both, if defrosted well and long enough from the chests, will provide a nice dinner time meal as the day draws close. It's more than just looking good, it's eating good too.

Other things to do with chest enhancement modules when the day is done: feeding said fillets and steaks to the pets as they wait for you to come home. Fish might have trouble digesting, as well as spiders.

For the more insect driven folks, a nice solid attractant for maggots and blow flies when cast out over the mailbox in the back yard. Yes, some people have mail boxes in their back yards.

Not every one will have the need for chest implants though. Some just wear suits with enough padding left over from the shoulders of the 1980s to make do without the meat.

 
 

Check for strangers in reflections

A night on the town dunking the head into vats of Dr Pepper might sound good and bubbly. But by the third hour, things tend to dive for the worse.

It's all about moderation and handling the bottles and cans with an ordered numbering system of limited reach. Namely, don't go overstretching the stomach with drink after drink.

Take a look at yourself in the mirror the next time you wake up from a heavy night. If you can't remember the name of the person looking back, you're gone for the day and need a serious purging.

Tony Stark, aka Iron Man, has a sordid history of being a victim of a selfish kind of love. The love that never lets the lips leave the glass lips of demon drink from bottles and tinnies. Drinking in moderation for all, drinking to excess for none.

Check yourself before you wreck yourself.

 
 

Blowing out the pressure to a colossal end

Need some time off of that emotion of strain and bearing the pain of fighting the last result? Breaking through without the aid of fibre is one thing. Ripping a new hole on the wall, completely another. And it's not the easiest of patches to stitch up, if rumours from the emergency room are true.

When the blockage round the back gets a little more solid than usual, it's not the greatest of ideas to sing it like a Salt N Pepa hit. (Ah, push it!) Get up on this and watch for the dropping lungs.

Seen here in glorious 3D, Colossus from the cover of Marvel Comics' Uncanny X-Men #122. Where Mr Rasputin is having issues of self-doubt and to top it all off, having some trouble in the Danger Room.

Don't let your back room become your danger room. Everything has its time, and undue sudden pressure is liable to bring even the biggest down.

But if it is just all gas, think about bringing a lighter to the party.

 
 

Believe it, bub, it's the end of the year now

Scream, shout, it doesn't really matter how it all comes out. Two weeks to blow and then it's all a gone and go.

Don't hold that breath any longer than a minute. It's just over two weeks away from the very end of 2006 and not breathing for that long turns you more blue than Violet Beauregard will ever do.

Crowds, people and the busy fuss of late and later minute Christmas shopping is enough to drive many insane and out of mind.

Keep that cool, it'll come in handy when the power grids overload from all the energy drains and the sweat starts a trickling like rivulets down a stormy window pane.

And every now and then, remember to relax, it's just another week really. Save for the numbers.
