"> “ Happy Birthday to You ! “ It’s one of the most commonly used phrases in the English language, sung around the world on a daily basis, but what do birthdays really mean to us ? People celebrate lots of events every year. We may celebrate religious holidays, or we may celebrate anniversaries that mark the big events in our nation’s history, like the Fourth of July, or in human history, but what significance do our own birthdays have?

As our vocabulary skills improve, we may decide to say unkind words or others may share their less than loving thoughts. Occasionally accidents happen and we don't always show the patience that would be normal for that particular situation. Disappointment isn't high on our "oh, that is okay" mind-set either. We tend to act it out before the words form. And, those...

I made up my mind to go out and get a new washing machine but then two weeks had passed and all I had to show was a bunch of clothes piling up in the corner of the kitchen next to an ex-washing machine. As far as I know launderettes didn?t exist anymore (it felt almost like they never did), although I did take a detour round town after work in search of one. By now I was wearing clothes I hadn?t seen for years, odd holey socks...

Silk or real; what's a bride to do? For many brides, the question is really perplexing -- especially for those who want to mix a dash of "Do-It-Yourself" into their wedding flower preparations.

On the other hand, silk flowers don't always look real, and they aren't always a bargain, either. The fact is, the silk versus real dilemma is more confusing than ever, thanks in part due to the increasing sophistication -- and accompanying cost -- of silk and latex flowers.
