What kind of palm trees can I plant for privacy in Zone 9 California Desert?

I live in zone 9, very dry. We had a crazy winter 2 years ago causing my new neighbor to cut down their oleanders to our 5 ft fence height and now we can see everything each other does. So I decided it is time to put in my own shrubs. Anyway where can I get some affordable palms that are hardy to this dry area? Yes I can water. I don't want huge palms I actually like those skinny leaf palms with out the spikes, but don't know what they are called. Any suggesttions please?

Better to put nice quality lemon, lime and orange plants in close proximity and trim them will serve your purpose as well you will have the best fruits for your good health and longevity, tree ripe is different then the store ripe and insecticide sprayed fruit
Reply:Thank you. Report It
Reply:oleanders are very rapid growing plants so they should be back to there original hight in like 2-3 years

What's the best lowgrowing shrub that wont kill my dog if she eats it?

I have a chocolate lab that tries to eat everything new in the yard, and I want to landscape in spite of her. Oleanders, elephant ears, azaleas, berry-bearing hollys are all out. What else is there?

Since "Granny" is dissing everyone, it's interesting that she lists my resource!

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PERFUME/COLOGNE???? I just bought Azuree Soleil tonight and it smells great.....yours?

Build over existing retaining wall?

We have a cinder block wall about 50 feet long by 3-4 feet high as a retainer. The wall has been leaning forward for several years. We talked to our landscape person and he said he could put a river rock retainer with concrete over the existing cinder block wall to hold the old wall in place and give it some opposing resistance. The river rock retainer will also be dug down 1 or 1 1/2 feet with under the ground foundation. We went to his house and he showed that he did it with his old cinder block wall and it looks incredible. In your opinion, do you think that this is okay to do. Is there anything we should make sure of before we do this? We dont want to spend 20K ripping the old one out when we could just retain this one with the new river rock wall. Also, the wall had a bunch of oleanders on it and other trees which we are having taken out as we speak.

Build over existing retaining wall?
My Grandfather with my brothers help built over a retaining wall. At the base they made it about 3 feet thick then tapered it thinner as it went up. We live in Earthquake prone California. The building inspector said it would take a quake large enough to level the entire town before that wall could ever sustain damage.
Reply:The wall was built in 1965-in San Fernando, CA. and was not damaged in the 1971 earthquake centered in Sylmar (2 miles away) or the 1994 Northridge quake. It is still doing the job with no damage to this date. Report It
Reply:sounds like he know what he's doing.
Reply:I believe that this could be done and have a fine result. You just make certain that your contractor is licensed and insured.

Ground cover ideas needed?

We just got done remodleing our pool area which involved hauling out a lot of river rock and getting rid of small palms around the pool to open it up. Now all we have is dirt.

My hubby doesn't want grass, too much maintenance. No fake grass, it's too expensive %26amp; the oleanders shedding would be messy. No gravel b/c it will hurt your feet barefoot.

He wants decomposed gravel - but I do not b/c it will still get muddy if it rains.

Any ideas out there?

Ground cover ideas needed?
Try about 4"- 6" of premium cypris mulch over a ground facric. Create a meandering pathway to the pool using cobblestones. The cobblestoned would actually be good for barefooting on because in many parts of the world, reflexology paths and “barefoot parks” are becoming very popular because they offer feet a chance to experience varieties of textured surfaces. In addition to biomechanical advantages of regular barefoot exercising, many holistic health practitioners believe the tactile stimulation underfoot while walking barefoot on natural surfaces has positive effects on body, mind and spirit.

This year I got Lamium Maculatum in Beacon Silver....ooooh, it's very pretty and needs little care also...

They both bloom in purple and are perenials...
Reply:If you were to put down some landscaping fabric around the pool than take some bags of leveling sand poured out over the fabric. The out come will be that the sand shouldn't wash away if you boarder it, you'll have no weeds and your feet won't hurt. Maintence free
Reply:These are the ground covers on my property. I live in Zone 7.

1. Vinca. I have periwinkle vinca. http://www.forde-nursery.com/images/pere... http://tncweeds.ucdavis.edu/esadocs/vinc... varieties ike sun, some like shade.

2. Monkey grass, mondo grass, liriope (call it what you want!). Many different colors, sizes, sun/shade. http://www.hsv-life.com/house/landscape/... Can be planted thinly or thickly. I interperse mine with small boulders for more interest.

3. Ajuga. Shade plant, so may not be suitable. Spreads rapidly. http://www.evergreennurseryinc.net/plant... http://www.danielleblog.com/archives/aju...

In addition, the following website is an excellent source for ground covers: http://pubs.caes.uga.edu/caespubs/pubcd/...
Reply:I really like Mondo grass (Ophiopogon species). It can get expensive in large plantings, but you never have to cut it. You didn't say how much sun you have or how much foot traffic the area will take. Mondo is tolerant of foot traffic once it is established. Other ground covers are pachysandra, liriope, ajuga, and vinca minor. These aren't as good for traffic areas.
Reply:You can do a outdoor tile all around it.

Drug addict/eating disordered friend?

I've known this girl for a few years and we haven't talked much in the past few years because of a very complicated sitution but she does every type of drug except meth and has been in and out of rehab two times for an eating disorder and ate white oleanders to get out one of the seven times

she just doesn't have a reason to live and i wish i could give her one but life pretty much sucks especially for her, she had it pretty rough growing up, no longer has a college fund because of rehab and has failed ninth grade a few times because of absences anyway

but im talking to her and i suppose just giving her a semi-good influence helps but i would like some imput in what advice i could give her in getting clean, obviously normal programs don't help, shes been on methadone and lithium and just uses them as a supplement to her habits

what can i say to help her? why shouldn't she stay on them honestly? when you think about it. she doesn't care if she dies and can't handle pain

Drug addict/eating disordered friend?
I wish there was a good answer for your question. I wish there was some magical thing you could say to someone you love and they would quit hurting themselves. Just continue to be her friend and let her know you are their for her if and when she chooses to get help. My sister was a cocaine and heroin addict she died last year from an overdose of cocaine before she died she was in and out of rehabs at one point (when she was sober) she wrote a poem about her addiction. It is a really good poem it is posted on her website http://www.ken.malott.com/bridget/bridge... . You can try showing her this website and this poem if you want.My sister was also bipolar and used street drugs to self medicate. ufourtantley if your friend doesn't stop she will end up dead. Good Luck. I know first hand how hard it is to watch someone you love kill themselves.
Reply:unfortunately drug addiction and recovery is really a lonesome disease, no one can really pull you up but you. Make sure she has access to people who have dealt with addiction themselves and just be there as a friend when she needs one. If you get too deeply involved with her recovery and she slips she will take you down a bit too.
Reply:You can't change people. It is her life and her choices.
Reply:I think that all you can do is be there for her. It's hard to understand a person's motivations for the way they live, and there is no textbook answer because every person is unique. You maybe could find a group like Codependent Anonymous, or al-anon that could give you a little bit of insight. Also, try your local county mental health unit. They may have a counselor that can steer you in the right direction.

What you have to remember is this-In your head, you are being a good influence, but maybe not in hers. I've been in similar situations (both sides of it) and sometimes the stability that you offer actually enables this kind of lifestyle. I did some stupid things when I was young, and I used people that thought they were being my friends by trying to be a good influence. Now that I've grown up, I can see what was going on, and see when somebody is using me for a place to stay, or a meal, or somewhere to go hide for a while. I kindly but firmly let these people know that I am here for them, but won't be taken advantage of.

I am glad that you are trying to help your friend, but it is a rocky path that you are on, so please get professional advice.
Reply:Yeah! I two did the drug thing but you know what? YOUR FRIEND WILL NEVER AND I MEAN NEVER FIND HAPPINESS AND RELEASE FOR PAIN THAT WAY!!!!!!!!!

I found that I did the drug thing and the next day and the many days and months after that I realized that my problems in life WHERE STILL THERE!? I would first suggest to you to tell your friend to be truthful about her situation and find a drug de-tox place somewhere in your own town. She is going to find that this is pure hell but, after de-tox she is going to find it makes a big difference! Second, Know she probably feels her Life doesn't have a purpose probably because of some of the problems she has in countered in her past! I believe after she goes thou de-tox it would be important to ask her if she would be willing to see a priest or a christian counselor about her painful past. I think that she needs to start forgiving all of the people that have hurt her and renounce them in Jesus name! A priest or some Church's even have christian counselors that would be able to assist you and her. You would make the calls to some of the Church's in your area to see if they offer christian counseling services. But first she has to work herself off the drugs and only then if she is honest about all the people that hurt her and wants to release her pain from her past only then would I call some of the Church's. I tell you what progress will she make by just stays in her house or other peoples houses, feeling sorry for herself and getting high!? Ask her does she want a REAL HIGH!? Then I challenge her to get HIGH ON THE HOLY SPIRIT OF JESUS CHRIST!!!!!! I challenge her to make something out of her life and be a role model to someone!First before I say anything more I would like to recommend two books to you for her for finding purpose in your life! (After of course she decides drugs aren't the best way to live and she chooses to make something out of her life.) I recommend reading: 1. The Purpose Driven Life. by Rick Warren 2002 and 2. Your Best Life Now by Joel Osteen 2004. Yes! I have been though depression and drugs! She got to understand there is no easy way out even if she decides to end her life. I also believe the reason she feels so depressed and she needs drugs is because her heart is feeling that something is missing. I believe that something is the love of God and Jesus Christ! The Bible says that you were created to have a fellowship with God, and to have Him at the center of your life, NOT DRUGS!. Did your friend know God loves her and values her! "God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son Jesus, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."(John 3:16)Know apart from Jesus Christ, the Bible tells us, we are "harassed and helpless, like sheep with out a shepherd" (Matt 9:36). But God loves us, and one reason he has allowed her to have this feeling of emptiness in her heart is that He loves her and wants her to seek him and have a relationship with him. No matter how hard we try or what means we use--material possessions, money, pleasure, drugs, or whatever--the emptiness is still there. The thing is that if you let your emptiness go this leads into depression AND MORE DRUG USE! How do I know this? Because I have dealt with that empty feeling, life with no purpose or meaning and eventually depression and drugs. The three things that really turned my life around was: 1. Knowing that God and Jesus Loved me and I was valued! 2. Knowing I had people on my side at church, in my social life and in my family that cared about me! and 3. I had to get myself out of the atmosphere that I was in! When you put yourself in line with what God has for you, then you will see yourself back with a renewed joy! That also means changing the atmosphere were she buys her drugs and where she uses her drugs! I would not be telling her this if I had not experienced what she feels for myself! Know down inside her, she is really looking for love and happiness but she will never find it the way she is living right now. God created her, and God loves her. His only Son, Jesus Christ, loved her so much that he gave His life on the cross so she could be saved and break free from in perfectness, sin and this empty feeling to become a child of God. When you accept Jesus Christ into your life, something wonderful and supernatural happens. God Himself comes to dwell within you! You become part of His family, and you can know the joy of His presence every day. The Bible says: "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5). She may ask "where was God in the my bad times in my life!". I tell you He was there! The fact of the matter is that we all make bad choices in life, or others make bad choices in life! But the thing is that we don't have to live like that for the future! As a christian I know that Church is a excellent place to meet people that might of once felt the way your friend does now with no purpose and they might tell her how they now live for Jesus and how they have found that purpose like me. Not only at church service but a lot of church's have activities like support groups, single events and small groups like bible study! Not only will she be meeting new people and developing relationships with them, she will be also be developing a relationship with God and Jesus by learning what the word of God (the Bible) has to offer her in her life. The fact of the matter is she needs to put herself in a new atmosphere with de-tox,forgiveness and by building a personal relationship with God! I battled though depression and drugs! So, I felt like life was just one, big black, end less, tunnel that I felt so alone and that no one valued me and my only release from anxiety was drugs! Which is not true! I later found out that I was valued! I was valued by Jesus because he gave his life on the cross for me! and in essence I was carrying my own cross and Jesus said "let me carry that for a while and you put your faith in me and I will bring you hope for the future and a future partner!" You know what? He did! Now am happily married to the woman of my dreams! I will be praying for you and your friend! I would encourage you if you know Jesus to pray for your friend that she may come to realize that she doesn't want to live life like this! I pray that one day she might find happiness and love in a purpose filled life in Jesus! May God Bless you and your friend! In Jesus Name Amen
Reply:Maybe your friend should be checked for a bipolar disorder or tested for depression. If this is part of the problem, they can put her on meds to help. There is also a drug that can be given to her to help her so she can't get high off of certain drugs.
Reply:You are very much describing a person I know, a drug addict girl. Did constantly pretty much every single drug except heroin n meth. Cocaine + pills was daily used, weighed 85 pounds... in and out of rehab and mental institututions her whole life... She died 3 weeks ago of an overdose. She took oxycotton and cocaine (in huge amounts btw, she would pretty much snort 1 gram just in one line), and this time she died.

I believe that sometimes you just can't change people like that.
Reply:if you are still young, harm reduction should not be an option. She can recover with some intensive treatment and support from very good friends like you. You could try to help her uncover any past issue that cintribute to drug abuse.
Reply:wow. im sooo sorry to hear about your friend. i honestly dont know the answer to your question and i dont think anyone else will on this site.. all i can say is ill pray for u and her.

honestly. shes the only person who can help herself now.. just be there along the way.. kinda like a shoulder to cry on. but if u ever feel too stressed over her problems take a few minute breather and just continue. its basically all u can do.
Reply:tell her how much you care about her and how stubburn it would be to continue her habbits.

Homemade pest repellent for my rose bushes?

PLEASE, I need help.

I know that for oleanders I can use watered down listerine, I tried it on my roses and it did not work.

I would appreciate only serious answers, thank you.

Peace and Love your way.

Homemade pest repellent for my rose bushes?
Jalapeno peppers... Pureed an mixed with a gallon of water; doesn't take many....the capacin burns on contact.
Reply:Chewing tobacco spit. No lie.
Reply:sort of depends on the pest.

A solution of soapdiluted with water sprayed on leaves is good for aphids etc. you could always go buy a bag of lady bugs.

diatomaceous earth is good for slugs
Reply:1st- If using hot peppers of any kind-WEAR GLOVES AND DO NOT SPRAY IF THERE IS ANY WIND-They Do burn on contact!

I put 3 or 4 garlic cloves in a blender, fill with water and blend until all smashed. Then I add a few drops of dish soap and pour into a sieve to remove any large pieces. Pour into spray bottle or canister and use every morning until pests are gone.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PERFUME/COLOGNE???? I just bought Azuree Soleil tonight and it smells great.....yours?

I just bought some new perfumes.... one of them is azuree soleil it kind of smelles like oleanders......its made by estee lauder. Other perfumes I bought were britney spears newest...2007 addition, (which I am going to take back.....it seems to smell different on paper than on me) and "diamonds" by giorgio armani...a very light fragrance. So have any of you people tried these fragrances???

If NOT......What is your favorite PERFUME??? or COLOGNE??? :)

My all time favorite is "HOT COUTURE" by Givenche :P

Thanks !!

My signature scent is 'Pink Sugar' by Aqualina. I went to high school in a small town and no one ever knew what it was.. my little secret! I also love 'Promesse' by Cacharral (sp?) and you can't ever fail with Chanel's 'Coco Mademoiselle'.

My favorite guy's cologne is Dolce %26amp; Gabbana 'Light Blue' and Gio (I think) by Giorgio Armani. :)

Reply:i like mild scent perfumes of florals and/or citrus. my fave are amazing grace by philosophy and summer fizz by cool water.
Reply:pink jasmine by the Fresh line, available at sephora. oo. its delicious. smells like springtime, jasmine (obviously), my favorite floral scent. it is very feminine and delicate and clean. i dont like people to be able to smell me before they can see me, you know?
Reply:Your individual style and skin type is what makes perfume so incredibly personal and interesting. While I own nearly 10 different perfumes at a time (that I wear regularly, before going rancid) I always own a bottle of Coco Mademoiselle, and Estee Lauder Beautiful. My newest favorites are Lovely, by Sarah Jessica Parker, Sensi by Armani, and Omnia Amythyste by Bvlgari. I would suggest going to a Sephora store and testing out any scents you might be interested in, just to see how they melt with your own personal body chemistry. Hmmm... if heaven were a sephora store........

If a person wanted to trim a tall shrub or tree, what sort of electrical tool would they use & which one....?

...is the best?

My hubby said he needs a "chopper" to trim our 6 foot oleanders. For his birthday I thought I'd get it but I have no idea the cost, brand or correct name.

If a person wanted to trim a tall shrub or tree, what sort of electrical tool would they use %26amp; which one....?
any yard working tool , as long as it is gas powered , those electric yard tools are crap , I tried several , the electric chain saw was only good for cutting limbs about an inch or smaller in diameter, the only use I found for an electric trimmer was a decoration at the bottom of my creek , after trimming a few limbs with the electric chain saw , it was not even good to cut butter. by the time you buy the electric tool ,and enough drop cords you could have just bought a gas powered , pulled the cord , cut the wood , and be done with the job.
Reply:uhg. anyone who values proper pruning shudders at the mention of those things. ghastly. use a good quality manual hedger, and keep them sharp. the japanese make the best.
Reply:As a horticulturist, I generally stay away from hedge trimmers and the like because they dont prune correctly. I would invest in a good pruining book, a good set of long handled loppers and a pair of pruners such as Felco. It is the standard in the industry and cost about $40.

How can I determine what type of pest I have? .. and what to do?

I live in coastal NC and have noticed that not only are my well maintained oleanders are looking damaged (more so towards the bottoms) but that there are multiple sand hills in my yard (which is also fairly well cared for). Whatever it is is strong enough to push up small rocks from below the grass. Do I have voles or moles or something? And if so.. what to do? I prefer to be organic if possible.

Thanks!

How can I determine what type of pest I have? .. and what to do?
Contact your Cooperative Extension agent for your county. It may be faster to do a Google search for North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service and then follow it to your county, than trying to find their phone number in the book.

The agent there can help you ID your pest and may have a booklet on how to eliminate it.
Reply:I would take a picture of the sand hills with a ruler or yardstick in the photo to demonstrate the length and height of the hills. Then take the photo to one of these several options to get their expert opinion and advice on determining the pest and the remedy:

Contact your local Cooperative Extension office and ask to be directed to a "Master Gardener" for help with the pest problem. Help and advice is almost always available free of charge as Master Volunteers donate their time and knowledge to their community.

Or you can take it to either a nursery to get an opinion, though only the better ones will employ a Master Gardener.

You can try a nearby University to see if an "Entomologist" (bug specialist) is on staff to identify it for you.

As a last resort, you can usually find an entomologist on staff at one of the larger nationwide pest control companies such as Truly Nolan, Terminex or Orkin who for a small fee (sometimes for free) will identify it for you.

It sounds like it could be a mole, vole or even a very small groundhog to me. However, a picture will usually tell us what is going on. Best of luck!

When should I trim and?

cut back my Oleanders? They were here when I moved in and they don't look very good; the blooms don't last long and not very many new blooms. I live in hot summer temp.

When should I trim and?
Oleanders only bloom in the spring to early summer. Cut them back in the winter, almost to the ground if you like, they will come back.

Be sure to wear gloves and clothing when working with oleanders, the sap is milky, sticky and poisonous. If you don't like the way they look, you'll have to try and dig them out and kill them with a weed/grass killer...

They usually do well in the heat, as long as you don't water the heck out of'em...they also need acidic food. (same as azeleas, some shrubs)
Reply:you have the same problem as me

i would suggest we should water them more and about the trimming i dunno either

Will the desert rose Adenium "Harry Potter" grow well in Phoenix AZ?

I have a grass type yard with orange trees, oleanders, lantana, western red bud and rubber tree.

I would like to know if I could grow this plant in my area and if it will grow next to oleanders.

I just thought my kids would get a kick out of it.

What tips do you have for growing it well?

Will the desert rose Adenium "Harry Potter" grow well in Phoenix AZ?
It can grow well if you give it enough room.

What books do you think I'd like?

I'm 23.

I like historical fiction, like "Helen of Troy", not some cheap romance.

I like vampire stories, mystical things like that, but not space and aliens ;)

I loved "White Oleander"- maybe something along those lines. Maybe some other Oprah Book Club books?

I like "Wicked", so I'm thinking I'd like the other books he wrote about those type of characters.

Any suggestions? Thanks :)

What books do you think I'd like?
any books by Garth Nix, any books by Neil Gaiman.

"The Declaration" by Gemma Malley will freak you out of this world - it's about the far future, where immortality and has been achieved. And boy, is it a gripping novel...

i cant remember the author.

but its very romantic and kinder histortical.
Reply:I liked the book White Oleander as well. I liked the book by James Patterson, The Quickie... it was a good mystery.

If you like vampire stories people are going to suggest Twilight but I like the series Betsy Taylor and a series also by Tate Halloway. The first one is Tall Dark and Dead.
Reply:Zzz,

I think you would like "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley. It's a terrific book and it is so different from the movies you may have seen.

Also I think you would like "Dracula" by Bram Stoker. Again this book is so much more than any movie you may have seen.

Reply:I have two recommendations. First, "Land of A Thousand Hills" by Rosamond Carr. And "A Thousand Splendid Suns" by Khaled Hosseini. Both are stories (one true, one fiction) about young women your age, at least in part. Both of them are very moving stories, and I hope you like them.
Reply:If you haven't read Ken Follett's Pillars of Earth and World Without End, you should check those out. Very good historical fictions. And Gary Jennings has a really good historical fiction series. The first book is called "The Aztec." They can be a little slow moving but there's some really interesting stuff in there. :)

And I just finished listening to "Confessions of an Ugly Step-Sister", by Maguire, on audio book and I really really liked it. I liked it better than Wicked and Son of a Witch.

20 hour plane ride need _____?

I am going on a 20 hour plane ride and i wanna stay entertained my mom said i can buy 5 movies to watch on my laptop I'm gonna buy- Grease, Grease 2, Batman and White Oleander What should my 5th movie be i'm only 12 so make it pg or pg 13 preferably a michelle pfeiffer movie she's my favorite actress also what else should i get to entertain myself i was thinking of bringing a few bokks what do you think

20 hour plane ride need _____?
A COOL MOVIE I THOUGHT WAS SLING BLADE WITH BILLY BOB THORTON. ABOUT A GUY THAT GETS OUT OF THE NERVOUS HOSPITAL-" NUTWARD" AND BEFRIENDS ALITTLE BOY AND HIS MOTHER. WONT TELL YA ANYMORE THAN THAT !!
Reply:If you can go to Amazon.com, I suggest "Sweet Liberty" with MP, Alan Alda, and Michael Cain. It is a comedy, and rated PG. No laser effects, no violence. Just a funny movie about making a film in New England small town.

5 movies will do you for 10 hours of the 20. You will probably want or need to sleep for part of the time. It would be better for you if you kept your normal sleep pattern.

When I am traveling on an airplane I like to take along one of my favorite books. An old friend, so to speak, as it doesn't matter how fast or how slow I read it. I know what is coming, so I can just enjoy the story and if I go to sleep in the middle of it, there is no problem picking up where I left off. At my age I have about 50 or so books like this, so when I am waiting for my wife to get out of the hairdresser, or for the MD to see me, I take along an old friend for the companionship.

Regards,

Dan

I don't get it???...???

The book white oleander was published in 1999 but in an interview with michelle pfeiffer

http://www.youtube.com/watchv=VmjLDpSW5q...

she said she grew up with the charecters ??????

I don't get it???...???
It's a dead link, but possibly she means she's had these characters in mind for a story since she was young, and the ideas, characters and story matured as she did. Or, they were modeled after people she knew growing up.
Reply:She was either speaking figuratively from the perspective of an actress trying to explain how she developed her portrayal of her character and how she was able to relate that character to the other characters in the movie, or - more likely - she was alluding to the fact that she was very familiar with every character type in the book/movie. She grew up in southern California where the book is set. Lots of foster kids in this area.

What would happen if all of a sudden, everywhere, cannibas became legal and free from government regulation?

You know, like oleander or eucalyptus...

What would happen if all of a sudden, everywhere, cannibas became legal and free from government regulation?
The United States prison system would empty out like a vacuum bag with the vacuum on reverse.

Many people would take up smoking, or increase the amount they smoke because of the lack of bullying threats by the government.

Those already growing plants would have a boom in prices because demand would temporarily exceed supply, causing prices to skyrocket, but then would eventually crash the market because a vast number of people would grow their own. Dealers and growers would be out of business.

However, there would be a chain which would pick up its sale in the same way Starbucks did with Coffee. There would be a chain of stores which would import the best stuff from around the world and sell it at high prices. There would be a Pot Starbucks, someone would get rich there.

Traffic accidents would go up, violent crime would go down. The streets would smell very nice. Old people would freak out. Don't worry, it's not about to happen.
Reply:It would soon become illegal again. Cannibas is illegal because most of the public wants it so.

I don't think you'd want your next airline pilot or your kid's bus driver smoking weed. If it was legal, you wouldn't be able to stop him from doing so.
Reply:It's a known fact most ppl who use cannibas do so to see if they can get away with it. Make it legal??,, People won't use it as much!

Reply:Edward or Levi. I don't like any of the girl's names.

If you're trying to make your child stand out, don't do it with a name. Kids, especially young ones, want to fit in with their peers. And an unusual name is an easy target for others to use to tease and torment them. Plus, if you get crazy enough with the name, the kid will have to spell it and explain it to everyone that they meet for the rest of their life. The kid will grow to hate the name, and maybe even change it when they can.

If you want your kid to be special, teach them to be strong, kind, brave, helpful, courteous, and caring. It's a lot harder than just giving them a name, but in the long run, you get better kids that way.

Reply:"Expecting Adam," Martha Beck, is good, almost on topic;

"Hope Rising" and "Bridge Called Hope," Kim Meeder;

"Anne of Green Gables," L. M. Montgomery;

"When Invisible Children Sing," Chi Cheng Huang, M.D.
Reply:I'm not going to send you to Dave Pelzner. Although many folks I know find him interesting, I find him predictable and shmatzy.

Try Bastard out of Carolina by Dorothy Allison. It was a finalist in the National Book Award a decade or so ago. It is substantive with historical background - of sociological interest.

Best wishes to a reader!!

Read Chinese Cinderella. It's about a Chinese girl who is the only girl in a family during the 1940s in China. Her mom died when giving birth to her, so she was always blamed for that by her dad, and even her brothers. Her dad then marries a very young woman, who is horrible to her. It is really sad, and a great book.
Reply:Cinderella.
Reply:The Killing Game by Iris Johansen is a fantastic book, and kind of involves what you're looking for, although you don't get that impression from the synopsis.

It's very suspenseful throughout the book, and quite a thriller. Along the lines of a kid going into foster care, there's an extremely tough and street smart girl, 10 years old, who is in foster care and has been shuffled around from house to house. Through the course of the book (I won't give spoiler details), it comes to be that the main character of the book, Eve Duncan, needs to rescue her and her young friend, and Jane doesn't get a long with anyone. They have some rough times getting along with each other, and need to adjust to some things. This book is full of suspense, murder, mystery, thrill - you name it, it's got it.

Really fantastic, I think that you'll enjoy it.
Reply:The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. I'm not done with it yet, but it's great so far and fits your criteria----

What are some recommendations for beautiful poetic stories narrated in the first person for me?

I love 'White Oleander' by Janet Finch. Another book I really love is 'The Virgin Suicides' by Jeffrey Eugenides. They are both beautifully written stories and so poetic as well.

There are several very good (but sad) stories of children who were placed in foster care.

They Cage the Animals at Night

by Jennings Michael Burch

There is another set of books (either 2-3) about a boy named David or Dave, who was tortured by his real mother and finally put into foster care. I'll check back with the titles as soon as I can.

Forensics piece needed! Prose.?

So I had to double enter in my forenics competition. I'm doing Dual interp and Pros. My duo partner and I are doing a sceen from the producers but I'm still looking for a prose piece. I had done white oleander last week in westbend but it was really difficult. There really was no story in the section that I did. O.O I'm looking for something like "Stones in the river" or something that's a story but also very strongly worded. Help wanted.

Forensics piece needed! Prose.?
The best way to find Prose pieces is to go to any book store and look through books of short stories. Some good collections for females are This is NOT Chicklit or This IS Chicklit.

My piece last year was called "The Crack Cocaine Diet" by Laura Lippman, which was kind of creepy but still funny and dramatic. (It's in a short story collection called "The Cocaine Chronicles")

Another great piece is "Snow Glass Apples" by Neil Gaiman. Some of the more dark sections of the story may have to be taken out for time and content, but it's also a very interesting piece--a twist on Snow White.

If nothing else, go for a Roald Dahl story (such as "The Landlady") or one of your favorite novels.

If you're in a time crunch, I would suggest focusing on finding short stories, because they're easier to cut down when you're low on prep time.

Dramatic Piece.?

I need a dramatic monolog for my forensics competition. O.O something like The last Chaper of My Sisters Keeper by Jodie Piccult. or White Oleander. If nothing like that I'm looking for the script to Juno. If anyone could find the last chaper of My sister's keeper if they could email it to me. my Email adress is Chels_fer_sure@yahoo.com

Hey! What book should I read next?

I'm not sure what type of book I like - it's been a long time! I just finished the Harry Potter series. My favorite book so far in my life was White Oleander. I did NOT enjoy "We were the Mulvaneys" (Oprah...).... but... yeah. Choke was unenjoyable... but Diary seemed cool. I'm rambling. Any suggestions?

Hey! What book should I read next?
i liked The Warrior Heir and it's sequel The Wizard Heir
Reply:A Great and Terrible Beauty (fantasy and boarding school like Harry Potter)

Speak (this is sad, a girl is raped)

Redeeming Love is good but it's christian so if you don't like that kind of thing you probably wouldn't like it. It is based on the story of Hosea. It's about a prostitute and really sad.

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

Uglies by Scott Westerfeld is a good sci-fi book

A Child Called It is about a boy who is abused.
Reply:Alot of people have that question, and I've answered it the same for each of you. Haha- I just keep copy-pasteing my answer for all of you searching for a great next-read......

The Twilight Series!! The Twilight Series!! The Twilight Series!!

The Twilight series is the best book series I have ever read. Each of the first three books hovers around 600 pages, and I was so engrossed in the story that I finished all three in four days! I couldn't put them down, and I promise you won't be able to either!

Here is the teaser from the back of the first book:

"About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was a part of him- and I didn't know how dominant that part might be- that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him."

Yes, it is a fantasy book- though my friends (and fellow Twilight fanatics) are NOT normally fantasy readers. Twilight is more than anything a story about young love- a story that will make your heart feel like it's going to jump out of your chest!

While the love story will make your heart swell, the main characters' witty banter and super-sarcastic humor will make you laugh out loud, and the ultimate suspense in the story will send thrills of terror up and down your spine!

Read it! You won't regret it! I promise! And then read the second book New Moon, and then the thrid Eclipse. Then you can read the forth book with the rest of us when it comes out in Fall of '08, Breaking Dawn.
Reply:bible
Reply:You should read firstly The hobbit and then The Lord of the Rings (1,2,3). These books are very entertaining to read. If you love adventure like Harry Potter, you should read these books.

Other suggestions:

The Ultimatum, by Susan Kearny

any and all Tamora Pierce books (if you appreciate feminist/female heroes)

books by Holly Black or Anne Rice if you like faeries or vampires.

TV shows or movies?

What are some movies or tv shows about married people who live in a nice rich house and have perfect lives?
The Addams Family
Reply:Well...As far as recent TV shows, The O.C. which is a teen drama but does have conflicts about married people. Quite a bit actually.
Reply:Back in the 90's that used to be the scenario... (Prince of Belair, The Nanny- and that kind of stuff. But nowadays, it seems that people prefer REALITY! Like King of Queens, etc...

However, soap operas are always like that- but not the perfect life part.
Reply:Perfect lives... We don't need T.V., we should have what ever we can live. That would be perfect enough for me (Post-op brain surg). But I would have to say "The Munsters or Adams family".

Whisper

Lullaby

Oleander

Out of these 3 words, which do you like best...?
I like whisper, it reminds me of soft, sensuous sounds, of a tree rustling in the breeze...
Reply:I'm glad I was able to help you in your research. Feel free to contact me again if you ever need assistance again. Report It
Reply:my fave is oleander--it feels like it hits all the corners of my mouth (i cant explain it, it's a 'full' word, it rolls, i can dig it). Whisper reminds me of the sound of crisp cotton sheets sliding against each other

Lullaby is a tricky one---it reminds me of my mom
Reply:Oleander. Because they look pretty, smell nice and are deadly poison (to eat). The great pretender.
Reply:lullaby

it reminds me of soft nuturing, it is peacfull and relaxing, a good feeling that is good for the soul.....whisper would be second, peacefull and relaxing

Reply:Well I do not like poisonous plants, so I will pick whisper, like whispering aspen or a whispering breeze I like the softness of the word.
Reply:whisper - closeness

lullaby - baby

oleander - white fragrant flower
Reply:Whisper softly spoken and no one can really hear what's said.
Reply:"Lullaby". Because it is such a soft, gentle, and euphonious word. Like a gauze curtain gently wafting in the breeze. The "oleander" shrub is poison, so the word does not appeal to me. "Whisper" is sinuous, like a gray fog snaking around ones ankles.Or a gray cat!
Reply:I like all three ,but since you want me to pick one,I'll have to go with Lullaby,it reminds me of a sweet little baby being held and rocked in a rocking chair and someone singing real low putting she or he to sleep,nice picture!!! YAH I'm a guy so what!!
Reply:The word "lullaby" produces images of 'mother' and very young childhood in my mind. It inspires feelings of comfort. I choose "lullaby."
Reply:whisper. easyer to say softly ,try it
Reply:whisper- because its secretive and sexy to an extent
Reply:Whisper... I like quiet and soft noises... kinda private and mystical.
Reply:Whisper because It's generally used quietly for example, to convey secret information without being overheard
Reply:Whisper - the wind

*whenever i write, because i love to write, i always say the wind whispers to me. when i stand outside and the wind blows, it's like it's speaking to me.*

==

Lullaby - memories i can't remember

*i don't remember much about being a baby, thus i don't remember lullaby's. but the word obviously makes me think of babies.*

==

Oleanders - death and sakuras

*because in certain countries (still today even) they kill newborn girls by stuffing the leaves down their throat. and we have ollianders lining our yard, and i'm always scared of them because i have three cats and a dog and i don't want them to eat it and be poisoned. so even though it's beautiful and reminds me of sakuras, they make me think of death.*
