Reply:only if you look like the girl in the pic.
if not i guess they are ugly.
Reply:Yeah! They would look really good! I love love love the 1st one! :D
Reply:I think both of the shirts are cute!! i also think those colors will go good with skin tone. You should get those shirts i a small because they tend to be big in th stomach area!! I would hate for you too look pregnant!
Reply:Yeah
Reply:i like both and the colors you picked are good.
look at the size chart... youd be a 10 or a medium. trust me hun, if you're seriously a 36DD there is NO way that a small is going to fit you!
p.s. you don't have to click answer question to see the links.
Don Diva: those are meant to be big in the stomach. seriously if you're really a 36DD and you get a small, i guarantee you won't be able to get it over your boobs!

Baby/parents room decorating??
My dad had an awful heart surgery last year, and since is not quite himself. My parents offered the idea of us moving in with them tohelp out, and my boyfriend could do household chores my dad can no longer do (like yard work, and fixing things), in return, they'll help us with the baby, which is our first, so we'll need it (she comes in July). There couldn't be a sweeter deal!!
Anyway, since all of my parents kids have moved out of their house, my parents gave us a bedroom with a "connected living room" (used to be just one big room) for us to work with.
It has periwinkle walls, and beige carpet.
Obviously, since it's my families home, our baby will have the whole house to run wild in. HOWEVER, since the baby will be sharing a room with us, I was still wondering how I can decorate this room to be calming and adult, but at the same time happy and childish.
Any ideas for either style would be so helpful :)!!
Baby/parents room decorating??
Hi
First congrats for your forthcoming kid. Take care of your self. I have few ideas for your and your baby's room decoration. Kids like colors like red, yellow and orange and other dark colors. You can buy cartoons wall hangings that you can paste on walls, radium stars and other shapes that will shine in the darkness. balloons and other decorations, and beautiful cot obviously that you will take, it should has a hanging with some sweet musics. Soft toys with music when your baby will wake up then starts to play with that. Buy toys with music that will be attractive for kids because in very small age they can listen only they can not grip it. Later you can buy so may toys for your kid.
Parents have a great deal with first kid because every thing will be new and you will be in learning process of how to look after properly to a newborn. You are lucky that you are sharing home with your mom and dad. They will guide you well for your new born. I wish that your dad get well soon and good Luck for Future.
Reply:Keep the walls light in color %26amp; use one corner of the room for your baby. Make this corner the furthest from the bedroom door %26amp; the traffic pattern. I'm assuming that you'll be purchasing a bassinette, crib, changing table right off the bat. Arrange the other furniture around the baby furniture. Purchase some cute little pictures to hang above her crib %26amp; over the dresser or changing table, but don't overdo it. Make sure the window(s) have drapes %26amp; mini blinds, so you can darken the room during the day, when she's napping. I'm sure you'll use the bassinette a lot until she grows out of it. Most are on wheels, so moving it to a different room during the day, if need be, will be easy for you. Select a cute matching baby style bedding ensemble for the bassy %26amp; the crib, etc. to give the room a cute %26amp; cozy nursery look. As for the rest of your furniture, keep it uncluttered but keep it colorful but not brash. Earth tones would look great for your bedding, etc. %26amp; won't clash with the baby's corner.
Reply:Use the section beside your baby's crib to decorate for your baby...then using the same color scheme-decorate your room. That way you both have a decor, it blends and looks great!
Congratulations on your baby!
Reply:use a light green shade for the walls. This way it looks clean, fresh, moden and it isn't to babyish. But it will also be an excellent nursery colour for any gender. In your section you can have an adult type setting and place alot of toys around the babys. You can also get baby bedding in greens to match. What about curtains to give the areas a more seperate feel? Hope this helps!
Reply:I was thinking maybe a happy yellow colour as it could be happy but calming and can be combined with wamer colours such as orange or white.
Or if you dont like yellow then why not blue as it has a very calming effect.
Hope everything goes ok :)

Please help me identify a strange song from my childhood...?
When I was a little girl, my grandma would sing me this song. I have asked her about it recently, but she has lost a good deal of memory and is unable to remember it at all. It is a mish-mash of strange syllables and random words. I'm sure I've got some of the words wrong. I have tried to spell them phonetically:
kee mokai moni ro ar
mee hee
mee hye
mee hum drum periwinkle
tit tat pitty pat
blue eyed puddy cat
sing a song kitty
catch a kye mee o
Does this look familiar to anyone?
Please help me identify a strange song from my childhood...?
Here are the lyrics to Kemo Kimo from Randolph:
Way down yonder on Beaver Creek,
Sing song kitty cain't you kimeo,
Darkies grow to be ten feet,
Sing song kitty cain't you kimeo.
Kemo kimo dee ro art,
Me-he me-hi me hum drum penny winkle,
Tit, tat, pitty pat, blue-eyed pussy cat,
Sing song kitty cain't you kimeo.
They go to bed but it ain't no use,
Sing song kitty cain't you kimeo,
Feet stick out for the chickens to roost,
Sing song kitty cain't you kimeo.
Our dog went out to get a bone.
Sing song kitty cain't you kimeo,
He looked at me and I run home,
Sing song kitty cain't you kimeo.
Our cow won't give milk in summer,
Sing song kitty cain't you kimeo,
So we have to take it from her,
Sing song kitty cain't you kimeo.
There are a lot of different versions here:

How To Revive My Dying Seedlings?
I grow the seedlings in my bathroom with heat turn on. Sun Gold is turning yellow (two already dead leaving one alive) and Periwinkle leaves shrunk after I put it out in the open air(unprotected for several hours) for sunshine (but the air was cool) because its leaves are turning yellow. Mustard green were grown a week ago and now the seedlings are about two inches tall. When can I transplant /put the mustard green outside? This is my first time DIY planting veggie and flowers. I read some information online and tried on it but it didnt work. As a result, many of my seedlings died. The current batch is the second batch. Please help.
How To Revive My Dying Seedlings?
If you need to "harden them off" then you can only put them in dappled shade for an hour at a time. You cannot leave them in full sun all day, or full wind - it will kill their tender leaves.
You did not say where you were?
They need warmth to sprout, but then they need to be moved to full sun in order to grow.
Make sure you don't over water as well.
Edit* Do not fertilize seedlings at all until they are already established in your garden. It is not necessary.
For plants to be established, I wouldn't fertilize for at least a month and a half after being in the soil.
What zone are you in there? I am in Colorado, we are in zone 3, I won't even begin to plant for another four weeks. Then that will only be cold weather stuff. Potatoes.

What fabric colors are good for a dark blonde? (fashion)?
Cream/peachy skin, green eyes, very dark blonde hair but it has an obvious ash cast. I can't seem to find a good color on me for things like sweaters, blouses etc. These I know look awful: winter white, mauve, true blue, true pink .... These tend to look okay: spring green, black, periwinkle but I can never seem to find just the right shade or floral print. :-/ Any ideas? This is not me but it is my coloration. What do you think? My hairstylist wants me to lighten my hair to a zingy blonde but I'd much rather find fabrics to highlight what I've got. Orange? Eggplant? I'm lost. Anything too light (wash out), too dark/dramatic (kills my paleness).
http://people.csail.mit.edu/bpadams/blog...
What fabric colors are good for a dark blonde? (fashion)?
definately peach, not really bright though, make it subtle.
wearing plain colors and not patters would look best.
i also like the idea your stylist said to lighten your hair, it will make you look more radiant.
Reply:I would use something to highlight your eyes. Maybe a green. Or, if you like a wow factor, use contasting colors lilke red and pink.

simply periwinkle. afternoon delight, and poppy petal... i just cant decide. THANKS AGAIN!!! =D
I cant pick my paint color!!! HELP!! THANKYOU =D?
I would definitely go with the afternoon delight. It picks up on the green really well in the blanket. and then the blanket adds a pop of pink color. DEFINITELY the afternoon delight
Reply:I checked out all your colour choices and I think of all of them the afternoon delight is the best. It compliments your blanket and draws the green out more. However, have you considered limescent or epic. They are nice colours too that draw out some of the other colours in your blanket. Still calm and nice to wake up too I think. Good luck!
Reply:I think you should go with the afternoon delight.
Reply:I love your comforter and think the afternoon delight would look great with it or with many other comforters in your future.

What do you think of my poem?
I've been writing stories and poems for a while now, and i'd like to know what you think of this one. most of my poetry is lighthearted, kind of like a children's book. (I want to write a kid's book someday)
be brutal
The sky is blue, trees are green, this is what we know
and lots of fruits and veggies are needed for us to grow
i thought as i colored the kitty's fur an ugly gray
"why not bring variety into the dullness of the day?"
there are so many colors in my Crayola Crayon box
why be so restricted to the shades of dirt and rocks?
i finished one gray kitty, and started another anew
by picking out a crayon named Outer Space Blue
and soon that cat had fuchsia stripes and periwinkle spots
and a hat with sea foam daisies and scarlet polka dots
i looked down at my masterpiece, my beloved work of art
it defied the laws of coloring, followed the rules of my heart
i wasn't just a simple color-by-numbers fool
'cause today i took a stand and colored outside of the rules
What do you think of my poem?
I love it...I read it to my 4 year old and he loved it too :)
Reply:ok yes, for a four year old...wildly entertaining.

Gerber daisies?
I saw gerber daisies online that were a mixture of bright blues both dark blue and bright baby blue, oranges, yellows, greens, purples, do they dye these flowers these colors? Of course i'm going to be in white my husband to be will be in black and white and my maid of honor will be in either lilac or periwinkle, i'm having a hard time deciding on daisies or roses with daisies mixed in or white and red roses. HELP!!! Any suggestions??? Pics would be helpful. I'm almost sold on white and red roses!
Gerber daisies?
It depends on where you are located %26amp; when your wedding is but most of the time gerber daisies are more expensive than roses. So it depends on what your budget is but all rose would probably be cheaper %26amp; alot prettier. I mean don't get me worng I love the gerber daisies %26amp; was going to have them for my wedding but the roses are so classy %26amp; elegant looking. They symbolise love %26amp; they are a very romantic flower so this would be a wise choice for your wedding. Anyways I hope this helps! Good Luck :)
Reply:What kind of wedding are you having? To me, roses are a more formal flower and gerbra dasies are more casual. Both are equally beautiful.
They come in a ton of colors but if you want one the florist doesn't have all you do is put some food dye in a spritzer bottle (test on white paper first to get the hang of it and make sure color is right) then spray the white gerbras. Putting them in dyed water often results in an uneven finish if you aren't too experienced with the timing.
Reply:For my sisters wedding we did three gerber daisies tied simply together and they looked fantastic! Gerbers come in a variety of colors and they can be dyed also. I would choose the gerbers over roses anyday!

Wedding Tables, Cakes, Decor Options needed?
Looking for Ideas! Here are my colors:
White, Silver, Light Blue, Medium Blue or even like a Periwinkle.
Sorta like a winter white and blue colors but NOTHING baby blue or pastels (i hate pastels) I guess the best way I can explain it is by a holiday theme..of snowflakes, snow, snowman blue.....okay so its not a winter wedding but I love the colors with silver..mildly elegant. Looking for any images or ideas you would like to add to my possibilities list.
I am up for any pictures for cakes, table setings, plates, center pieces, gifts, bridesmaid dresses, have three girls so dresses as well so long as they don't match identical.
Hope that made sense..Thanks in advance! OH and the wedding is late summertime...
Wedding Tables, Cakes, Decor Options needed?
I love weddings! My sister is getting married this coming January and her colors are chocolate and cranberry. The silver and blue is also one of my favorite wedding color schemes right now. I highly recommend the online wedding shop at www.theknot.com. They have some of the cutest favors and plus their website has tons of pictures from past weddings so you can steal lots of good ideas. They also have vendor listings too sorted by area so you can find someone local to you that bakes wedding cakes.

^^ THEY SERIOUSLY HAVE SOME CUTE STUFF! It is a bit pricey though. My sister and I basically just stole the ideas from their shop and got together with the bridal party and made the centerpieces and stuff on our own.

http://weddings.theknot.com/odb/results....
**I'm not sure if you're Photoshop savvy, but I'm a graphic designer so one thing I did was design a candy bar wrapper with a photo of the bride and groom to be that had their last name and wedding date on it. We went to Kinko's and had them printed and cut for under $30 and bought king size Hershey bars in wholesale boxes at Sams Club. We assembled them ourselves with some cool glue I found at Office Depot. It came in a big clear tube (I think it's Scotch brand) and had a felt tip end so you could brush it onto the wrapper without leaving all the gunk and globs that regular glue sticks leave. We're going to put one at each place setting at the reception. It was a cute and cheap favor for the guests. We didn't really see the point in spending $5 on favors for each person when they're going to throw it away anyways. I think most people would much rather have a chocolate bar then something like a paperweight with the bride and grooms name on it, don't you? We also have 450 guests so we are trying to work on a budget!**
Another cute idea that we are still considering is buying some plain black 5 x 7 wooden picture frames and print out some little papers that we would put inside each one that would have the bride and groom's first and last name repeated over and over again in different fonts and sizes and putting them on the tables at the reception. This was an idea we found in a photo on www.theknot.com as well.
Congrats on your engagement!
Reply:Late summer, blue and silver? Have you thought about an ocean or seaside theme? Think the old summer beach resorts of the 1900s - 1950s. Some of them were quite ritzy - fancy hotel with sand. Women in beautiful dresses (especially the 1920s), men in boaters and jackets. Depending on your budget, the cake could go anywhere from cupcakes with summer flowers on cupcake stands (like bouquets) to a giant life preserver or a model of a gazebo.
Reply:Wow you have alot of colors going on! :) Monochromatic if you will? Sounds pretty. :)
Have you tried Ebay %26amp; a bunch of wedding sites? You have to seek %26amp; you will find... Ideas galore! :) I really don't know what your theme is--figure it out %26amp; go from there! :) Perhaps--elegance--with lights, candle light, Ice Sculpture, Monograms, ribbons, feminine...?

It came in a big clear tube (I think it's Scotch brand) and had a felt tip end so you could brush it onto the wrapper without leaving all the gunk and globs that regular glue sticks leave. We're going to put one at each place setting at the reception. It was a cute and cheap favor for the guests. We didn't really see the point in spending $5 on favors for each person when they're going to throw it away anyways. I think most people would much rather have a chocolate bar then something like a paperweight with the bride and grooms name on it, don't you? We also have 450 guests so we are trying to work on a budget!**
Another cute idea that we are still considering is buying some plain black 5 x 7 wooden picture frames and print out some little papers that we would put inside each one that would have the bride and groom's first and last name repeated over and over again in different fonts and sizes and putting them on the tables at the reception. This was an idea we found in a photo on www.theknot.com as well.
Congrats on your engagement!
Reply:Late summer, blue and silver? Have you thought about an ocean or seaside theme? Think the old summer beach resorts of the 1900s - 1950s. Some of them were quite ritzy - fancy hotel with sand. Women in beautiful dresses (especially the 1920s), men in boaters and jackets. Depending on your budget, the cake could go anywhere from cupcakes with summer flowers on cupcake stands (like bouquets) to a giant life preserver or a model of a gazebo.
Reply:Wow you have alot of colors going on! :) Monochromatic if you will? Sounds pretty. :)
Have you tried Ebay %26amp; a bunch of wedding sites? You have to seek %26amp; you will find... Ideas galore! :) I really don't know what your theme is--figure it out %26amp; go from there! :) Perhaps--elegance--with lights, candle light, Ice Sculpture, Monograms, ribbons, feminine...?
What do my Windsor Newton gouache colors correspond to on the color wheel?
I know this may sound ridiculous but I bought 12 tubes of gouache and I was wondering what each one was on the color wheel. I figured out some but I'm unsure of others.
Here is what I have figured out:
Primary Yellow - (Yellow)
Primary Blue - (Blue)
Primary Red - (Red)
Turquoise Blue (Blue Green)
Here is what I'm unsure of:
Golden Yellow
Marigold Yellow
Orange Lake Deep
Magenta
Light Purple
Periwinkle Blue
Brilliant Green
Permanent Green Light
Again, I know this sounds ridiculous but please help me out.
Thanks

Some of those colors may not BE on your color wheel. Many are blends various other colors and tints of the primary and blended colors.
Think about what you'd get if you mixed orange with a small bit of blue. These are opposite on your color wheel. You'd get a kind of brown, which is a color that wouldn't show up on your wheel. Or mix blue, with a small bit of orange and add a tint of white. This would be a kind of "slate" color, which is, also, not on your wheel.
You mentioned "light purple" That could be, simply, the pure, secondary color of blue and red, with white added to make a lighter tint.
Sometimes, color names are very arbitrary. What is the difference between purple, violet and lavender? Why is marigold yellow called that? Periwinkle?
Look at the names on the colors on a BIG box of Crayola crayons. Do they all fit on your color wheel?

Reply:I would say start out with your favorite pair of abercrombie jeans. Pair it with a brown belt and a cute pink top from the pink collection at Victoria's Secret. If your not into that use a pink hollister top. Throw on a juicy sweatshirt and flipflops as well as a coach bag. You can also grab a pair of sunnies and put some diamond studs in your ears.

Is this a good name for a main character?
Mara Quirly.
I know it sounds kinda odd but I love it. And the girl is kinda odd, it's kinda hard to understand, here's the beginning
It’s hard to say exactly what it was about Mara Quirly that made her parents so uneasy. It was probably a lot of things, all jumbled in to one confused mess. It was partly the way her huge periwinkle eyes seemed to see inside of you when she looked at you, and partly the way that when she got lost in thought, which happened quite often, the expression on her face had a way of telling you that she wasn’t just foolishly daydreaming. And of course there was the way that when she had been a baby, she hadn’t sat and cried and wailed like the other babies in the nursery, but had just lain there, her huge eyes wide open, and stared. Not moving, just looking at something as ordinary as a wall or a cheap watercolor painting as if it was the most interesting thing in the world.
I have no more room, but if anyone would like to hear more, send me a message!!

Reply:I dunno about the name, but I love it. You really catch the reader when you talk about how she her eyes sort of see beyond the outside. i liked it but the structure was a bit confusing. i struggle with that too.
Reply:uh..its alright. the 'q' sound is really harsh with such a short first name. either try a longer first name, or a different last one. otherwise, it sounds a little...comical...(for lack of a better word choice)
Reply:Yes, I think Mara Quirly is a good name for your main character.
May I suggest Nora Quirly or Vera Quirly?

Parakeet colors?
Just curious, a friend of mine got a parakeet last month. He's your typically yellow %26amp; green budgie. She got him a mate but it died when she hit a wall trying to fly back to their cage. The female was white with blue spots, they looked sort of looked like tick/freckle markings.
But anyway his owner plans to get him a new mate since he's lonely I told her about some parakeets I saw at the petco, some of 2 of them were pure white, one was yellow with a green spot on the side and the others were the standard blue %26amp; white and yellow %26amp; green. There was one that was periwinkle blue with white on the head, neck %26amp; face.
Anway if this bird gets a new mate and they breed at some point would the chicks have the same colors as their parents or would they be different?
Another friend of mine used to have pigeons and the chicks sometimes had the same markings as their parents or were a mix of the two.
Parakeet colors?
It all depends on what the parents parents where so to speak.1. you may get the same colour or some revert back to the normal green. Or you might get colours you dont expect.
The only way you can plan colours is line bred them so you know the history of the parents grandparents and so on, to plan the colours you want
cheers
Reply:It would depend on the exact genetics of the parents. Buying from a pet store you never know what you'll get. In general though if one bird from a pet store is the regular green, all resulting chicks will be green as well since it's the dominant color in parakeet genetics. Most pet store parakeets aren't split to other colors or bred for anything fancy, so the green will be the visual dominant color.
The chicks will be green, but split to whatever color the other parent is. Meaning that if one of the chicks is then bred to another bird that's the same color as the other parent (non-green), it can produce chicks other than greens.

What do my Windsor Newton gouache colors correspond to on the color wheel?
It doesn't sound ridiculous at all! Different paints from different manufacturers, with different names that are changed from time to time... it can be very confusing.
The other thing that can be misleading is that commercially printed colour wheels, such as you might find in books, change in appearance over time as the ink fades.
The best way to keep your paint performance predictable is to make a sample wheel yourself. It doesn't have to be all beautiful pie shapes (unless you want it that way); the main thing is to get the three primaries arranged 120 degrees apart around the wheel, then mix the secondaries (green, orange, violet) and put them in between, and then the tertiaries (blue violet, red orange, yellow green etc.) in between those.
Then you will be able to take, for example, magenta, and determine that it falls somewhere between red and violet.
Do this by painting a small sample and holding it next to your wheel.
Paint manufacturers sometimes provide charts of their colours, but these can vary, if printed, because ink is not the same as gouache. I always like to make a quick reference chart for any new medium. Then it's always WYSIWYG and much less troublesome.
Also, some colours have white added which can be confusing. I don't know W%26amp;N periwinkle blue but I suspect it might be one of those.
Good luck! Have fun!

OKay, i need your honest opinion! do u like my almost story?
The wind whistled slowly but surely in the frosty night. Like an easygoing, silent cry. Spherical stones scattered across the pavement as if they were running from the leaves that fluttered to the asphalt and danced across the street. I glanced down and looked into the creek, about five minutes away from my house. I gazed at the creek as the ripples extended throughout the water. Seeing this made special warmth come to my heart but inside I was worried, very worried. I kept trying to convince myself that nothing was wrong and that little feeling inside of worry was just my mind's eye like I usually inform myself after I watch a bloodcurdling film. But this time, it was different I knew it. I had a certain tugging feeling, which made me terrified.
All the sudden while I was admiring the goldenrod, radiant moon and stars, the sound I had been anticipating rang in my freezing ear drums. A scream, a gory scream was coming from within that house, my house. That shriek I could not forget all the time I was frantically running towards the serene and tranquil looking house. I was astonished my weary, tingling legs didn’t give in until I got to my destination. Then a tear trickled down my cheek as slow as a glacier, previous to even realizing what had happened. My heart was throbbing, my hands were trembling, and I could not stop crying. What I saw was a living nightmare.
I touched the sizzling hot front entrance handle, gradually twisted the knob… C-l-c-k the door made a surprising noise when I turned it to the right. I held the door handle for a second and thought about opening that door. Taking my hand away from the knob I started shaking frantically and crying nonstop. But without even making up my mind my trembling, pale hand reached out for the partially polished, rusted door handle once more turned the handle and popped the door open. Liquid seeped into my periwinkle sweater as I tried to stop the tears from running like a faucet down my cheek. A blazing flame heated my entire body in not even a half a second. The warmth brought back memories of sitting on prickly, warmed log in front of the campfire and backing away for the reason that your face became to warm.
OKay, i need your honest opinion! do u like my almost story?
i think its really really good(even if it isnt for something) if this is like a story composition or something i pretty sure ur the only 1 whos going 2 get an A+
Reply:lots of description, but it needs a bit of tidying up, grammar is a bit untidy in places, and jars against the descriptive nature of the earlier section. like this bit:
"A blazing flame heated my entire body in not even a half a second. "
one sentence you are writing like a writer, the next you are talking like a teenager. Where does the heat come from?
I think it's a good start but it just needs a bit of tidying up...
words like "crying nonstop", "got", "tranquil looking", "shaking frantically" need to be rethought, substitute in some better words.
The piece might work well as a monologue but if you are going to write it, try and lose some of the street talk.

Question for American women...?
Why do you think a (American) mother would name her newborn daughter an unusual name like "Periwinkle?" (I LOVE that name myself (lol.) It's just so unusual.)
No negative answers please. If you like negativity please don't answer this question or any other from me. Thank you.
And thanks to all who answer, for answering.
Question for American women...?
uhm..its a pretty color...i dunno.
Reply:Look. It could be that a child will be special if given a special name or having an unusual name could encourage a kid to make something of that name. We have Peekaboo Street, the skier. We have Beyonce Knowles, the singer.
Periwinlkle will be memorable and unique and may become President. This is what the Mom hopes for.

Reply:It's just a sign of the times.....
Reply:Why are you assuming that it is the mother's choice of name?? Couldn't Dad or gramma have something to do with it?
Seriously, name cycle and some the names will almost always be in the top100, so parents who don't want their child to be one of ten Jennifers or Michaels in the first grade often resort to extremes. However sometimes they just may like the sound. Periwinkle, stealing your example, has a concrete meaning(color, flower) and shortens to Peri quite nicely, and really no more strange than Lavender, Rose or Amber.

Reply:Maybe the daughter was born blue. Seriously. She could have had her umbilical cord wrapped around her neck and due to lack of oxygen turned blue. Stranger things have happened.
Reply:I think she might name her daughter Periwinkle because she loved the name, thought it was a fitting attribute to her daughter, or it might be a family name from her heritage. She may love the color, the flower, or the sound of the name. Why do you really ask this question?
Reply:Every grade school class room has 3-5 kids with the same name and American couples name their kids unusual names to avoid their kids being one of the crowd. Periwinkle will get shortened to Peri whether the parents like it or not. People need to be careful about what nick names can be gleaned out of a name. Some nick names aren't as great as Peri would be.
Reply:My mother tried to give my brother and me unusual names. It worked with me, but my brother's name became ridiculously popular a few years after his birth. I think she just wanted us to be different, but I kind of wish she hadn't. As it is, I have to say my name about six times before people get it right. I ended up choosing a nickname that's easy to spell AND pronounce.
Reply:Hell no! I wouldn't even name my pet something like that. I would expect a child to name their stuffed animal something like that. It's not unusual, its a color. You probably see it everyday. But its your kid. I am a teacher and I have heard all kinds of names. These "unusual" names generally loose their effect after about a week of knowing the child, but people continue to wonder if you are doing a disservice to the child and their future. We are all judged by our names at first glance or even prior. What do you think most people with think of when they are introduced to Periwinkle...an intelligent, well rounded, active person is not what first comes to my mind.
Not negative...just honest.
Reply:Many women like names that are distinct and different. Personally I kept the names of my children simple and named them after family members and friends as a show of respect.
No negative answers please. If you like negativity please don't answer this question or any other from me. Thank you.
And thanks to all who answer, for answering.
Question for American women...?
uhm..its a pretty color...i dunno.
Reply:Look. It could be that a child will be special if given a special name or having an unusual name could encourage a kid to make something of that name. We have Peekaboo Street, the skier. We have Beyonce Knowles, the singer.
Periwinlkle will be memorable and unique and may become President. This is what the Mom hopes for.
C. :)
Reply:I'd imagine someone who is intent on "breaking the mold".
Reply:It's just a sign of the times.....
Reply:Why are you assuming that it is the mother's choice of name?? Couldn't Dad or gramma have something to do with it?
Seriously, name cycle and some the names will almost always be in the top100, so parents who don't want their child to be one of ten Jennifers or Michaels in the first grade often resort to extremes. However sometimes they just may like the sound. Periwinkle, stealing your example, has a concrete meaning(color, flower) and shortens to Peri quite nicely, and really no more strange than Lavender, Rose or Amber.
Reply:Because nowadays everyone needs to have an exotic name.

Base of a lilac color for my wedding but what would best my best accent colors??! Help!?
I am having an outdoor wedding this August with the base color of light purple (varying shades between periwinkle and lavender), but I am stuck! What would be my best bet for my accent colors? Now I already have a lot of white things (garland etc, plus my guest book and pillows) but, what would be a stand out color to go with lilac that I could incooperate in everything?!
I need to have something that stands out but nothing too gawdy.
Also best answer will go to whoever can help me figure out how to implement that color(s) on my tables, flowers, etc and be able to know where to put all the colors together at!
Thanks!
Base of a lilac color for my wedding but what would best my best accent colors??! Help!?
BEAUTIFUL color choice! I would say SILVER. It is something that could be incorperated into everything and gives a very modern feel compared to old which has more of a vintage feel to it. here are some Ideas:
Flowers:
Siver Ribbon wrapped around the boquet along with silver baby leaves (fake)
Centerpiece:
It depends on what is is but a cool Idea would be to buy some small decorative candle mirrors (biglots would have them cheep) and place fresh purple flowers in vintage or modern sinver vases. or use the same mirrors and place glass bowls with lilac colored water (food dye) and multipurple glass pebbeles in the bottom (that is what I used for my wedding except pink and silver were my colors.)
Purple and silver tulle bows:
Take the two color and make big bows to line your walk way secure with (fake) pearl pushpins (the big ones) and tape if you need it. Fluff tulle after hanging.
Dinnerware:Purple Napkins and silver silverware (lol!)
tables: if you are doing round tables then place longer silver round table cloths on the bottom and top with a smaller purple tablecloth.
To hold favors and such: buy some wood baskets and spray paint them silver. then buy some purple fabric and line them.
I really hope this helps. :) I can send you some pictures from my wedding if you would like a visual. Just email me. Congrats! ~Brooke
Reply:Think contrast but similar not too far apart on the color wheel. Since your wedding is in August tap into fall colors. Maybe a burgundy red or cranberry. They sell black cherry colored calla lillies that you could mix in with your other flowers. You could also do ribbons on your favors, petals on your tables....once you pick your color you can do anything.
I think I would stay away from pastel or "light" color shades because they will blend too much with the lilac and periwinkle. That and with all the white you're using, consider something darker to really make the accents pop.
Reply:Lilac with celadon green and cream. Your husband-to-be might appreciate having some green in there too!

For our wedding we had lilac, pink, yellow and light teal - so had lots of fun coordinating and decorating!
Reply:I used lilac in my wedding and I also used deep purple. I got married in October, by the way, but I still think it looked great!
Reply:Black! It will really make your white and purple colors pop! And it will give an elegant feel to it.(even though you are outside)
Reply:A sort pink color called Ashes of Roses.
Reply:Maybe a light yellow...
Reply:baige or a light green
Reply:They and work out some complimentary colours. Get a swatch of your lilac fabric and place it against other colours to see what jumps out at you. (an easy way to do this is to go to davidsbridal.com and find a bridesmaid dress with a sash or accent, shange the dress colour to lilac and slowly select the rest of the colour choices to change the sash colour.)
Personally this is what i have...
My bridesmaids are wearing lilac, my flowergirl is in pink and the mothers have chosen to wear green.
My flowers/bouquets are light and dark pink roses with lilac orchids to tie the colours together, green in the leaves.
The boys are in black and white with the colours brought in with their buttonholes. (Black and white for all their clothing including ties only colour in flowers)
My tables are being set with white table cloths with white roses and greeenery as table centres with pink and lilac coloured petals scattered. There will also be candles lighting the individual place settings for guests.
Your accent colours would become smaller items of your wedding. Ties, buttonholes, focus table settings etc with lilac being some part of everything (lilac tape/binding on a pink bouquet so the flowers stand out from the outfits etc)
Reply:I'm having an August wedding and I am using plum/eggplant purple as a secondary color to lilac and white. I love the way the lilac and the dark purple tones meld together. They have a lot of things in this color of dark purple and there is a bold contrast between the light and dark. I'm having plum tableclothes w/ lilac runners and plum candles w/ floral arrangments of mainly lilac colors w/ some plum. The cake will have both colors. Most of the tulle will be lilac w/ some plum. I'm tying lilac bows around the back of the chairs. I was thinking about, but decided against, using maroon and gold. I still love the colors together, but decided using lilac and plum would be easier. Do a search on Butterfly Wishes in Precious Jewels; it has the lilac, maroon, and gold. :) Good luck.
Reply:I think green would look really nice.
Or silver.
Or you could go with a darker colour purple for your accent colour (e.g. plum)

Reply:Well... With Lilac a very pretty and pop of color is salmon/coral it will add that bit of late summer/fall (august) color pallet... As far as the decore the biggest thing is to have fun keep it simple but elegant. honestly stay with white table clothes and tie a lilac sash around chairs now for centerpieces a nice tall clear vase w/ the i believe its something like grass you can swirl in the vase and do a simple but colorful (oranges limes lilacs yellows) arrangement on the top w/ a possible whimsical touch by adding several flowers to add height... or if you are just doing it outside open air you could def. do several vases on the table of different heights and add candles to some and in other simple fill with water and add a nice large bloom of hydrengea or an orchid to float it is very simple and beautiful!!! hope this helps!!! oh but if you do have it outside in a tent or even a room I would add some crystals some how to add a little bling or sparkle!!!

Is this short enough?
I do love the old English Cottage.
Mary stood at the front gate, which opened onto a crazy paved pathway leading to the front door of the little thatched cottage. She let her eyes follow the path and noticed the Periwinkle and Catnip growing in between the cracks of the paving. Both gave off a heady scent when trodden on, but Mary felt that the little plants never deserved such rough treatment just so that someone could smell their perfume. Even as a child she never ever trod on them but hop scotched her way to the front door.
She let her eyes wonder over the cottage garden. "Spring seems to bring out the best in the flowers," she said to herself. "Even better that the summer months". Pansies, Holly Hock, Sweet Scented Stock and the blue of Cornflower plants were all out in profusion, giving the garden and cottage a picture book look. "It really is a pretty cottage" she thought "I shall miss it when I leave but John has to be in Africa ready to start his new job next month".
John and Mary had lived in the cottage for six years after he came out of the army with a good pension, which had enabled them to buy the cottage. He had taken up his old job as an architect with a local firm in the town of Tadcaster. Previously they had been posted wherever the army had sent them. John had been a Major in the R.A.S.C over seeing the construction of new military buildings and bridges. Mary had been content with her life but was pleased when he retired and they had bought the cottage. John was the sort of man that got on with all he met and was soon accepted by the local villagers. It was different with Mary, she had always been a quiet person, much preferring to go out into the countryside and paint whatever scene took her fancy, but butterflies seemed to favour her desire to paint, and the cottage walls were festooned with her paintings of the delicate creatures.
Mary walked up the pathway, unlocked the Dutch door, which some previous owner of the cottage had decided to put in, and walked into the familiar living room with its domesticity enfolding her. On impulse she went upstairs where she had her room in which she finished her paintings. She took a small easel and a case of sketching pencils and canvas from the table near the large north-facing window, made her way downstairs and out into the garden, along the path and out into the field that lay on the other side of the lane. Setting up her easel she looked at the cottage "How many times have I painted you" She said with affection. "One last time, just once more". She took out her sketching pencil and began to draw the fine lines on the canvas.
It took Mary a week to finish the painting. John had concluded all of his work he was contracted to do, now he and Mary could spend some time together before they made the move to Africa. The cottage had been sold to a nice elderly couple who "Needed some fresh air in their lungs" the new owners has said. They were happy to let Mary and John stay on until it was time for them to leave. "How are you coming along with your painting?" as john one morning at breakfast. "It's finished," said Mary. "May I see it?" asked her husband. Mary took the painting from behind the chair where she had put it to show John later. He looked at it "Its beautiful, your best ever of the cottage, but you have left the For Sale Vacant Possession sign in the painting" "Not quite " she said "Look closer" he did and saw that the sign now read Butterfly Cottage. He smiled "Perfect" he said.
Is this short enough?
This sounds like Rebecca Shaw, if she were to write short stories, or even Mary Wesley - she of the Camomile Lawn.
Joanna Trollope, also too in some of her earlier novels.
It transports you to a place of calm and tranquility - not such a bad thing in these turbulent times.
May I make a suggestion? Did you deliberately call them John and Mary - so as to suggest the 1950's in your reader's minds? If not, the names are very plain - I'd like him to be called Reggie and she can be Prunella....just joking.
I hope this isn't considered insulting but my thought is that this would be accepted by a magazine like The People's Friend
Proof reading - hope you don't mind!
Would flowers have capital letters?
"How many times have I painted you?" she said with affection - lower case 's'
Needed some fresh air......the new owners had said
"How are you coming along with your painting?" asked John
It's beautiful, your best ever

Do you think these tank tops are cute??
Do you think they are cute?? Do you think the color choices would look good on me? Plus, I dont know what size to get them in, either small or medium, i have 36DD chest, but my stomach is flat and thin and stuff, so would i be a 4-6 or a 8-10?? i might get small in the first one, then medium in the second one. And I have sorta dark chocolate brown hair, and dark yet bright at the same time green eyes. and med skin tone. if yout hnk a dfferent color would look better, please tell me!

Wedding buffet?
I will be having approximately 35-40 people at my wedding, and their all pigs, how much candy should i buy to be on the safe side? I'm thinking along the lines of like 10 different jars with different candy in each, does this sound like enough? And i don't have a specific theme and my colors are periwinkle and white, any suggestions on different candies? They don't necessarily have to match my colors, i just need some suggestions on popular candy.
Wedding buffet?
As opposed to other edible items, it is important to consider that candy is both edible and decorative and the more that you have, the more impressive your display. However, there is no exact ideal quantity as each Candy Buffet is different.
Our standard suggestion is to purchase no less than ten (10) pounds per item and you may want to order more of smaller items, such as Jelly Beans, as they tend to settle in large containers.
When deciding on how much to purchase, here are a few things to consider:
1) Is the Candy Buffet going to be available for the entire function or is it strictly going to be offered as an appetizer or dessert option?
2) Are the candies intended to be consumed on site or is it designed for people to take home as a party favor?
Nothing is worse than a Candy Buffet that runs out early, especially if it is being offered at the end of an event, as people tend to only remember the “beginning” and “end” of most social functions.
this is a great site to get great ideas for candy options

its a bit pricey, but get ideas and shop around!
Good luck!
Reply:People will take what you give them, and what fills their bag. Give them a giant bag, they will fill it. Give them 100 choices, they will take some of all.
That is human nature.
I suggest you choose the containers first. Then you can estimate how much of each candy you need. I would go with about 10 types.
Use the favorite candies of the bride %26amp; groom -- that way its personal!
Reply:A neat idea is that M%26amp;M's can be made custom now. So you could have you and your fiances names put on them and the date would be cute I think! Just an idea though!
Reply:Well I can't really help you on candy suggestions, although we are having 24 different types of candy...smarties, twizzlers, york patties, hershey's bars, starbursts, skittles, reeses pieces, salt water taffy are a few... I have the list somewhere about them all. Anywho, the general rule of thumb is 15-20 pounds for each candy.
Reply:Candy has no place at a wedding, it's tacky and inappropriate. You can have Viennese tables with dessert pastries, the tables are wheeled out; and then the guests take what they wish. You can make the theme of your wedding aviation and air travel, periwinkle comblined with white remind me a bit of the sky. Stay off the sugar, sweetness, I fear that a bit of it may have gone to your brain.
As far as buffets go, I don't adore them, I personally think the only buffets at weddings should be for the cocktail hour preceding the wedding reception. How lovely and very gracious of you to predesignate your invited guests as "all pigs". You certainly will be giving Martha Stewart a run for her money with that attitude. Next time be a bit less mean-spirited and icksnay the name calling altogether, it is unladylike to begin with and a turnoff as well.

Why do I see them? I'm scared!?
I see these almost transparent outlines of people, extending about half a foot. They don't bother me much, because they are around the person, but either there's something weird with my vision, or it's an aura. My guy friend has a purple/violet, my history teacher a bright yellow topped off with a brown. Then, my language teacher a periwinkle blue...
When it's dark I see mine, it's a yellowish-green that turns into a turquoise and is topped off with a muddy green...
As I said, they don't bother me, but I just want to know what they're there for...
When I stare at someone for a long time, concentrating on one part of their body, say one of their eyes, then I see it, about half a foot...also if I see it for too long, my eyes get red and they water.
It looks like I'm staring at the person and crying!
Somedays, I don't even have to concentrate, though, because they just appear on their own, a misty thick outline floating there! Is it okay to see this, or no? Should I keep it? Thanks!
Why do I see them? I'm scared!?
What a wonderful gift to be able to see the different colors of a soul's progression. God would not give you anything to fear, sounds like you have found one purpose in your life, meditate on this and see where else it will take you. As you advance spiritually your aura will change colors. When you are seeing these you are also seeing colors on the edges around other colors. Like a light blue center with goldish white at the edges, the edges are the energy---halo's. The central core represents accomplishment. White represents the energy color base for all souls. It is the shading of white with other color mixtures which identify each soul
White: Purity, Clarity, Restlessness.
Silver: Ethereal, Trust, Flexibility.
Red: PASSION%26lt; Intensity, Sensitivity.
Orange: Exubertant, Impulsive, Openness.
Yellow: Protective, Strength, Courage.
Green: Healing, Nurturing, Compassion.
Brown: Grounded, Tolerant, Industrious.
Blue: Knowledge, Forgiveness, Revelation.
Purple: Highest growth, Wisdom, Truth, Divinity
The Angels also have these colors around their wings, don't be suprised if later you see one. They are very tall and have a wing spread of 12 feet or more according to the filums. This is just the tip of the iceburg.
Level 1: 1-white 2 off-white gray/grayish with tents of pink
Level 2: 3-white and reddish pink, 4-light orange yellow with tents of white
Level 3: 5-yellow, 6-deep gold/gold with tints of green
Level 4: 7-green or brownish green
Level 5: 8-light blue;light blue with gold; green or
brown tints
Level 6: 9-deep blue, 10-deep blue with tents of

One of my poems... comment, please!?
I wrote this during my high school retreat; noncoincidentally, the title is "Retreat".
From mounted boxes, curled ivy
Dangles from the balcony
West wind whispers, oh, so light
Ruffling blooms of pink and white
Mountains rule in forest shrouds
While sun shines gold through silver clouds
Soft steps rustle meadow grass
Doe and fawn like shadows pass
The walkway twists without an end
A lake lies sparkling ‘round the bend
Skies of periwinkle blue
Slowly take a fuchsia hue
Then, ever softly, ever slight
Become the navy blue of night
One of my poems... comment, please!?

I need help is anyone honest?
Is this a good beggining to a story?!
The wind whistled slowly but surely in the frosty night. Like an easygoing, silent cry. Spherical stones scattered across the pavement as if they were running from the leaves that fluttered to the asphalt and danced across the street. I glanced down and looked into the creek, about five minutes away from my house. I gazed at the creek as the ripples extended throughout the water. Seeing this made special warmth come to my heart but inside I was worried, very worried. I kept trying to convince myself that nothing was wrong and that little feeling inside of worry was just my mind's eye like I usually inform myself after I watch a bloodcurdling film. But this time, it was different I knew it. I had a certain tugging feeling, which made me terrified.
All the sudden while I was admiring the goldenrod, radiant moon and stars, the sound I had been anticipating rang in my freezing ear drums. A scream, a gory scream was coming from within that house, my house. That shriek I could not forget all the time I was frantically running towards the serene and tranquil looking house. I was astonished my weary, tingling legs didn’t give in until I got to my destination. Then a tear trickled down my cheek as slow as a glacier, previous to even realizing what had happened. My heart was throbbing, my hands were trembling, and I could not stop crying. What I saw was a living nightmare.
I touched the sizzling hot front entrance handle, gradually twisted the knob… C-l-c-k the door made a surprising noise when I turned it to the right. I held the door handle for a second and thought about opening that door. Taking my hand away from the knob I started shaking frantically and crying nonstop. But without even making up my mind my trembling, pale hand reached out for the partially polished, rusted door handle once more turned the handle and popped the door open. Liquid seeped into my periwinkle sweater as I tried to stop the tears from running like a faucet down my cheek. A blazing flame heated my entire body in not even a half a second. The warmth brought back memories of sitting on prickly, warmed log in front of the campfire and backing away for the reason that your face became to warm.
I need help is anyone honest?
lots of description, but it needs a bit of tidying up, grammar is a bit untidy in places, and jars against the descriptive nature of the earlier section. like this bit:
"A blazing flame heated my entire body in not even a half a second. "
one sentence you are writing like a writer, the next you are talking like a teenager. Where does the heat come from?
"The warmth brought back memories of sitting on prickly, warmed log in front of the campfire and backing away for the reason that your face became to warm" - messy.
I think it's a good start but it just needs a bit of tidying up...
words like "crying nonstop", "got", "tranquil looking", "shaking frantically" need to be rethought, substitute in some better words.
The piece might work well as a monologue but if you are going to write it, try and lose some of the street talk.
keep trying and ask your English teacher for some more pointers.

Reply:What kind of story is this..
If it the beginning of what can be a very prosperous horror novel, I say it is great..
Some sentences could use work...
Your details make the story but they also make someone want to turn away at times..
A few sentences have to many words describing a simple scene or action..
The use of your extended vocabulary helps builds the suspence..
I would like to hear the rest...

I think it is great..

Reply:"Like an easygoing whistle, wind slowly passed through the night."
The wind can't whistle %26amp; be silent at the same time, (Ls. 1 %26amp; 2)
To much description. Your throwing everything plus the kitchen sink at your story. Pare it down %26amp; try using descriptive words of a verby leaning, (implies one of the five senses, or kites or some action imagery), but lighten up on the description allow the readers imagination to enter into the story, also if I recall correctly, do not use words ending w/ly or "of" in writing unless there is no other option. And adverbs, little less adverbs would be nice.
You have a nice start for a story here %26amp; keep writing, it is interesting.

To much description. Your throwing everything plus the kitchen sink at your story. Pare it down %26amp; try using descriptive words of a verby leaning, (implies one of the five senses, or kites or some action imagery), but lighten up on the description allow the readers imagination to enter into the story, also if I recall correctly, do not use words ending w/ly or "of" in writing unless there is no other option. And adverbs, little less adverbs would be nice.
You have a nice start for a story here %26amp; keep writing, it is interesting.

Reply:Neither links produced what you described, As a Leo I would suggest:
Leo power colors are Gold, Orange, Yellow, Tan, Red, and deep tones of various hues.
The Sun (Orange), is the fifth point of light of the zodiac. The center of the chart and the power source of the light, it is best represented by the vibrant oranges and gold that one thinks of when considering it's ruler, the sign of Leo. The courageous use of these colors is bold and invigorating and creates a statement that cannot be ignored, just as a Leo cannot be ignored. The tawny strains of amber and rich golden tans also reflect the colors of this planet. When physical energy is out of balance, any of the colors associated with the sun can help to invigorate one. The wearing of the gemstone amber can help one capture some of this energy also.

Is this a good beggining to the horror story im writing for english? thx so much
The wind whistled slowly but surely in the frosty night. Like an easygoing, hushed cry. Spherical stones scattered across the pavement as if they were running from the leaves that fluttered to the asphalt and danced across the street. I glanced downward and looked into a creek, about five minutes away from my house. I gazed at the stream as the ripples extended throughout the water. Seeing this made special warmth come to my heart but inside I was worried, very worried. I kept trying to convince myself that nothing was wrong and that little feeling inside of worry was just my mind's eye like I usually inform myself after I watch a bloodcurdling film. But this time, it was different I knew it. I had a certain tugging feeling, which made me terrified.
All the sudden while I was admiring the goldenrod, radiant moon and stars, the sound I had been anticipating rang in my freezing ear drums. A scream, a gory scream was coming from within that house, my house. That shriek I could not forget all the time I was recklessly running towards what seemed to be a tranquil and serene house. I was astonished my weary, tingling legs didn’t give in until I got to my destination. Then a tear trickled down my cheek as slow as a glacier, previous to even realizing what had happened. My heart was throbbing, my hands were trembling, and I could not stop crying. What I saw was a living nightmare.
I tapped the sizzling hot front entrance handle, gradually twisted the knob…C-L-I-C-K! The door made a surprising noise when I turned it to the right. I held the door handle for a moment and pondered about opening that door. Taking my hand away from the knob I started quivering and weeping uncontrollably. But without even making up my mind my trembling, pale hand reached out for the partially polished, rusted door handle once more turned the handle and popped the door open. Liquid seeped into my periwinkle sweater as I tried to stop the tears from running like a faucet down my cheek. A blazing flame heated my entire body in not even a half a second. The warmth brought back cheerful memories. Ones of sitting on a prickly, warmed log in front of a campfire, and backing away for the reason that your face became to warm.
I need your complete honest opinion!?
Thats great!!! its builds suspense!!
:D
i so badly wana know why you are crying though!!!
keep up the great work!

What colors look good on a girl with black hair?
I'm gonna do some spring/summer shopping tomorrow, and I am just wondering what clothing colors match my dark brown/black hair best. I have brown eyes if that also helps.
for example, see how this periwinkle sweatsuit looks pretty with this girl's red hair: http://www2.victoriassecret.com/images/p...
I'm thinking eccentric colors, like bright coral or something..but not so sure.
help! thxx :D
What colors look good on a girl with black hair?
coral is my personal favorite!
If you have recently dyed your hair black or were lucky enough to be born with ebony tresses, what you wear can make a lot of difference in the way you look. And not just styles of clothing, but colors can play an important role in your overall "look".
When you're exploring what colors to wear forget about what you favorite color is, instead concentrate on the colors that look best with your hair color and skin tones. One woman reported that every time she wore her favorite blouse in a pale yellow, people would stop her and ask her if she felt all right. She finally glanced herself in a mirror in a store when she was wearing her favorite yellow blouse and she saw something she never saw in the lighting in her home, the fluorescent lighting of the store was making her skin color appear green around the yellow blouse.
Invest in a mirror that has different lighting settings such as daylight, office and more. Your make-up and clothing choices that you make in your natural daylight lit bedroom may look far different when you go to your fluorescently lit office.
Good best for black hair are bold, vivid primary colors. Black and stark white. Primary red, blue, and lemon yellow. Hot pink and members of the blue green family. If your skin is lighter you can look dazzling in navy blue. Icy and cooler pastel colors in the blue and purple family also look stunning with black hair and darker skin. No matter what your skin tone, avoid soft yellows, soft mauves or rose shades and peaches, they will drain the color from your face and make you appear sickly looking.
Now that you know some great choices for your black hair, add a few new items to your wardrobe and get out there and be dazzling for spring.
Reply:I have dark brown hair, and that's close enough to black, and hazel chestnut eyes. And i would say for someone with black hair, you should try pink, lime green, and brown. That looks good. And yes eccentric colours and bright coral would look good. Definitely. Have fun shopping! =)

I seriously have about 100 beanie babies, and they arent worth much at all.
I mostly bought them as a kid because I liked them and thought they'd be worth something some day, so I kept all the tags on them and everything.
Noone cares about them anymore.

Did you know this adidas man's apparel?
Dear Sir/Madam,
I want to find an adidas clothing. Unfortunately, I didn't find it in any websites. I think maybe it's a special one. I describe the categories of it below:
Man' outerwear or a jacket; Blue, especially, periwinkle; Applied 3-Stripes (white) at collar band, and at shoulders down sleeves; Maybe the material is polyester; Ribbed cuffs and waistband (silver or steel grey as collar); No screen print on back; Maybe no pocket;
The most special or unique symbol is a badge on left chest; Maybe a symbol (gold) in the middle and around by a bowknot of 3-stripes (black; white or blue; black), like a brooch.
The photograph is: http://hiphotos.baidu.com/ardeb/pic/item... The clothing is dressed by this star.
Did you know it?Please help me.Thank you very much!
Did you know this adidas man's apparel?
i think i know what you mean. you could try posting a 'want it now' on ebay. youll get any responses emailed to you. it's free so youll have nothing to lose. good luck : )

Transplanted Daylillies?
I recently (about 2 weeks or so ago) transplanted a bunch of plants, including; chrysanthemum, black-eyed susan, periwinkle, phlox, asiatic lillies and daylillies. they're all doing quite well except the daylillies, which look tired and are yellowing. I had separated some of the tubers before sticking them in the dirt, and there wasn't any native soil sticking to them when they were given to me. It was the same case with the Asiatics, but they are doing great. Will my daylillies bloom and come back, or continue looking dead but come back next year, or are they a lost cause?
Transplanted Daylillies?
I think at least some will probably survive and come back better next year. Daylillies are pretty resiliant. Keep them moist. (Asiatics and daylilies are really not closely related)
Reply:When transplanting daylillies cut the foliage back to about 3 to 4 inches from the tuber and apply some powdered sulphate of potash and a handful of blood and bone , they should come back with out much problems just be patient daylillies need to grow new foliage after being transplanted , but their worth it.
Reply:Have faith. Daylillies are tough as nails. I have them planted above the culvert in my driveway, the have been hanging in and blooming for 12 years now in about an inch of red clay.

More CHI SQUARE PROBLEMS!!!!?
The flowers of periwinkle plants may be blue, B or white, b. Plants may either be normal size, N or dwarf, n. A normal size plant with blue flowers is crossed with a normal sized plant with white flowers. The seeds from this cross produce 33 normal blue plants, 29 normal white plants, 11 dwarf blue plants, and 9 white dwarf plants. Write a hypothesis for the genotypes of the parents and calculate the pheontype ratio of the offspring. Do a Chi-square to test your hypothesis. Indicate your values for "p" Is your hypothesis supported by the chi-square test. AGAIN, I JUST DON'T GET IT. Any easy methods to understanding where to begin? How do you get the initial ratio? Any help is truly appreciated!
More CHI SQUARE PROBLEMS!!!!?
chi squared is eay, once you know the basics, there are five columns, The first is what you observe this is your data, the second is what you would expect, this is just basically using you punnet square ratio to find the value for each, the third is what you observe minus what you expect, the fourth is the previous value squared and the final is the fourth value divided by the expected this is your x^2. to get the original ratio use a punnet square,BbNn is wwhat you would use for the first parent and bbnn for the second, I assume that you know how to set up a punnet square. Then you figure out the ration out of the 16 off spring how many are normal blue, dwarf ble, normal white and dwarf white. FIND THE DECIMAL OR FRACTION VALUE! then using your sample size find your expected ratio the p value is th probability, find your degree of freedom number of categories minus 1 then ther is a handy chart follow this link http://www.ento.vt.edu/~sharov/PopEcol/t...
find the values that yours goes between and go tho the closer of the two follow it up and that is you probability.

I glanced down and looked into the creek, about five minutes away from my house. I gazed at the creek as the ripples extended throughout the water. Seeing this made special warmth come to my heart but inside I was worried, very worried. I kept trying to convince myself that nothing was wrong and that little feeling inside of worry was just my mind's eye like I usually inform myself after I watch a bloodcurdling film. But this time, it was different I knew it. I had a certain tugging feeling, which made me terrified.

A scream, a gory scream was coming from within that house, my house. That shriek I could not forget all the time I was frantically running towards the serene and tranquil looking house. I was astonished my weary, tingling legs didn’t give in until I got to my destination. Then a tear trickled down my cheek as slow as a glacier, previous to even realizing what had happened. My heart was throbbing, my hands were trembling, and I could not stop crying. What I saw was a living nightmare.
I touched the sizzling hot front entrance handle, gradually twisted the knob… C-l-c-k the door made a surprising noise when I turned it to the right. I held the door handle for a second and thought about opening that door. Taking my hand away from the knob I started shaking frantically and crying nonstop. But without even making up my mind my trembling, pale hand reached out for the partially polished, rusted door handle once more turned the handle and popped the door open. Liquid seeped into my periwinkle sweater as I tried to stop the tears from running like a faucet down my cheek. A blazing flame heated my entire body in not even a half a second. The warmth brought back memories of sitting on prickly, warmed log in front of the campfire and backing away for the reason that your face became to warm.
Help! tell me what ya really think!?
lots of description, but it needs a bit of tidying up, grammar is a bit untidy in places, and jars against the descriptive nature of the earlier section. like this bit:
"A blazing flame heated my entire body in not even a half a second. "
one sentence you are writing like a writer, the next you are talking like a teenager. Where does the heat come from?
I think it's a good start but it just needs a bit of tidying up...
words like "crying nonstop", "got", "tranquil looking", "shaking frantically" need to be rethought, substitute in some better words.
The piece might work well as a monologue but if you are going to write it, try and lose some of the street talk.

Reply:it's ok, but nothing amazing. I don't really like the adjectives you use, it's as if you are trying too hard to paint a vivid image, but it just makes for clumsy writing. Avoid ambiguity, vary sentence length, and try to develop a distinct flow as each sentence leads into the next. Read what you write out loud, because if it feels natural when you say it, it will feel natural when you read it.

A scream, a gory scream was coming from within that house, my house. That shriek I could not forget all the time I was frantically running towards the serene and tranquil looking house. I was astonished my weary, tingling legs didn’t give in until I got to my destination. Then a tear trickled down my cheek as slow as a glacier, previous to even realizing what had happened. My heart was throbbing, my hands were trembling, and I could not stop crying. What I saw was a living nightmare.
I touched the sizzling hot front entrance handle, gradually twisted the knob… C-l-c-k the door made a surprising noise when I turned it to the right. I held the door handle for a second and thought about opening that door. Taking my hand away from the knob I started shaking frantically and crying nonstop. But without even making up my mind my trembling, pale hand reached out for the partially polished, rusted door handle once more turned the handle and popped the door open. Liquid seeped into my periwinkle sweater as I tried to stop the tears from running like a faucet down my cheek. A blazing flame heated my entire body in not even a half a second. The warmth brought back memories of sitting on prickly, warmed log in front of the campfire and backing away for the reason that your face became to warm.
Help! tell me what ya really think!?
lots of description, but it needs a bit of tidying up, grammar is a bit untidy in places, and jars against the descriptive nature of the earlier section. like this bit:
"A blazing flame heated my entire body in not even a half a second. "
one sentence you are writing like a writer, the next you are talking like a teenager. Where does the heat come from?
I think it's a good start but it just needs a bit of tidying up...
words like "crying nonstop", "got", "tranquil looking", "shaking frantically" need to be rethought, substitute in some better words.
The piece might work well as a monologue but if you are going to write it, try and lose some of the street talk.

Reply:it's a really good start I think ; I was really hoping to finish reading the closing of it; by the way what did you find inside ?
Reply:it's ok, but nothing amazing. I don't really like the adjectives you use, it's as if you are trying too hard to paint a vivid image, but it just makes for clumsy writing. Avoid ambiguity, vary sentence length, and try to develop a distinct flow as each sentence leads into the next. Read what you write out loud, because if it feels natural when you say it, it will feel natural when you read it.

Can anyone help me?!?
Can anyone tell me if this is a good begging for an english horror story?!
The wind whistled slowly but surely in the frosty night. Like an easygoing, hushed cry. Spherical stones scattered across the pavement as if they were running from the leaves that fluttered to the asphalt and danced across the street. I glanced downward and looked into a creek, about five minutes away from my house. I gazed at the stream as the ripples extended throughout the water. Seeing this made special warmth come to my heart but inside I was worried, very worried. I kept trying to convince myself that nothing was wrong and that little feeling inside of worry was just my mind's eye like I usually inform myself after I watch a bloodcurdling film. But this time, it was different I knew it. I had a certain tugging feeling, which made me terrified.
All the sudden while I was admiring the goldenrod, radiant moon and stars, the sound I had been anticipating rang in my freezing ear drums. A scream, a gory scream was coming from within that house, my house. That shriek I could not forget all the time I was recklessly running towards what seemed to be a tranquil and serene house. I was astonished my weary, tingling legs didn’t give in until I got to my destination. Then a tear trickled down my cheek as slow as a glacier, previous to even realizing what had happened. My heart was throbbing, my hands were trembling, and I could not stop crying. What I saw was a living nightmare.
I tapped the sizzling hot front entrance handle, gradually twisted the knob…C-L-I-C-K! The door made a surprising noise when I turned it to the right. I held the door handle for a moment and pondered about opening that door. Taking my hand away from the knob I started quivering and weeping uncontrollably. But without even making up my mind my trembling, pale hand reached out for the partially polished, rusted door handle once more turned the handle and popped the door open.

Growing flowers in Georgia?
I resently moved to Southern Georgia from Wisconsin. I want to plant flowers but am clueless as what to plant. I am only going to be living here for three years so i dont want anything expensive, but at the same time i dont want to replant moreflowers every year. What resonable priced perenials will grow in the sandy soil here? We have really tall pine trees here, I ws thinking of planting something around the base of the tree thats will climb the tree. I was wondering if a climbing rose could be planted there or if maybe i'll have better luck with a humming bird vine. Im also wondering what would work best around hedges to dress them up. The only thing i can think of that would grow well there is periwinkle since the soil is poor and rocky. I want to plant something arond the base of the bird feeder also. Something that attracts butterflys and humming birds. I was thinking butterfly bush but that grows too tall and wide. I need ideas on what to plant, and best time to plant. thanks
Growing flowers in Georgia?
perennials=aster,balloon flower,black-eyed susan,calla lily,coneflower,dianthus,hosta,iris,and yarrow do well here in athens. vines=virginia creeper,carolina yellow jessamine,cross vine,trumpet creeper. around hedges=variegated liriope and mondo grass with annual color. around bird feeder=dwarf butterfly bush. plant now through spring.
Reply:Sounds like you've already done a lot of research. You may want to consider getting a landscaper designer to come take a look at the space as they'll be able to help you ID plants that will work in the specific locations, with the specific care, you've identified.
Reply:Azalea would do well under your pine tree as would hydrangea.
Virginia creeper to run up the tree. Look around and you'll probably find it growing wild. Don't confuse it with poison ivy.
Virginia creeper should be showing red leaves right now in your area.
Loropetalum would be a nice showy plant and can take some shade.
Daylily would be perfect and if you get them in now you should have bloom come May and June.
Reply:it's hard to grow anything under a pine tree because of the acidic soil there. i live in middle ga and my soil under our pine trees are alway full of dead pine needle that i'm constantly raking and cleaning up try to stay clear of planting anything there. In my gardens, I mix with garden soil and other soils to grow most any kind of flowers and plants.

What Color Should I Paint My Room?
I am going to paint it one of the two colors below (periwinkle #204.204.255 or light green #230.255.204). I love the color periwinkle, however, it is very hard to find bed coordinates to match it. Right now I have white moulding and trim and white doors. White lace curtains. Beige carpet.

What Color Should I Paint My Room?
If you really like the periwinkle and that best matches your personality, then go for it. Just look for bedding with a combination of colors in it...even if the exact periwinkle color isn't in the bedding, if there are enough, pinks, purples and blues...and the green you like, you'll be safe. You can find the exact color for accessories like throw pillows and material to make chair covers or lamp shades. If you have trouble finding it, you may have to take a paint stick with the periwinkle paint on it to a fabric shop and match the color and have the pillows made. You can also line the inside of white baskets with the same color material as well as the green to tie all your colors together.

Reply:I think you are safe with Periwinkle if you save the matchy match for pillows. You can do just a white duvet. I have had the same trouble with a red. I tried to match the curtains to the comforter and it's been three years. I don't see why they can't work together. They are both in the same tone. Pastel type colors.Think of a flower, use nature as your inspiration.
Reply:im partial to blue i love it
Reply:i like the green color its cool bananas
Reply:U should try sky blue. Its a comforting colour.
Pepper red is sexy.
Pink Blush is girly n feminine.
Black to make it look smart and less dirty.
Beige or orange cream maches too but it can be stained easily.
Reply:i would go with the light green.if it were me.
