Any baby shower ideas? ?

My best friend aka (Sister-4-Life) is having a baby due in April…she’s a teen mother, and we as her bestest friends are planning to give her a “surprise” baby shower. However we need more ideas…I have few planned here they are…
1. Select a theme for the shower….she likes Bratz and she is 15…..
2. Create your own decorations. place a framed photo of the parents-to-be on the gift table for a personal touch. Be sure to provide the mother-to-be with her own special chair next to the gifts and mark it by tying Balloons at the entrance.
4.Make a memorable centerpiece, Diaper cake or A stuffed animal in a basket with baby stuff surrounding it.
5.Decide on the menu. It can simply be cake and punch, chicken wings, Finger foods, sandwiches, fruit or fresh vegetable tray, Nachos and dip, chips n dip, assorted cubed cheeses and crackers, chicken salad, cookies, deviled egges. pasta salad.
6.Plan a variety of games: Some more active games are “Baby Hot Potato” where you pass a baby doll around a circle while you play a lullaby. Whoever is holding the baby when the music stops is out. Keep going until one person is left. Or “Diaper a Doll while Blind-folded.” All you need is a doll, a diaper and safety pins and a dark blind-fold. “Baby Bottle Drink-off” is a hilarious game.”
7.Gift Ideas for the mommy-to-be a thermometer, pacifiers, bottle, formula, liners (depending on the bottles preferred by mom), nail clipper kit, washcloths, hair brush and comb, travel bag dispenser that gives you a small bag to put dirty diapers into, a new outfit, burp cloth, nasal aspirator, a few diapers, and wipes. Johnson&Johnson also makes a take along pack that has travel size sampling of shampoo, desitin, lotion, powder, baby wash, and a soothing naturals nourishing lotion. Photo Album.
Make a coupon book good for:
•Whenever you need a baby sitter
•1 afternoon babysitting

•1 evening babysitting

•1 afternoon of errand-running
Baby tree- Make something that could hold money for the new born baby

What do you all think, are there anymore ideas for the theme, food, decorations, and how to set it up well for the surprise. I was thinking of holding it at our school in the commons area. Over by that way its a cafeteria where she can go and she will not see anything. That way they can make their way down that trail and then she will open her eyes and see what we have planned.

Florist rip off, have you heard of this?

So we called a florist today for one of my friends who is having a very small wedding Feb 2nd. We wanted to set up delivery and make sure it is there by the set up time. She is having a very small wedding of only 48 total guests. Well the centerpieces she wanted were just simple rose bouquets in square glass short vases that are sold at the local florist. She picked them out on their web site. Since they are not having an over the top wedding, just low key with minimal decorations other than the colored linens and such she thought this would be the least expensive. Well on the web site they are $39.99 each plus delivery charges. So she called in and told them that she needed six of these for her six tables. The lady asked her what the occasion was and she told her a wedding reception. Ok fine, when she gets the total it was way off. It ends up they are charging $59.99 per bouquet NOT including the tax or delivery charge…instead of the $39.99 because it is for a wedding and they have a surcharge on weddings. WHAT?? They are being delivered only, not set up, nothing special, they are not part of the wedding flower section, just basic 12 red roses in a clear square vase that is listed at 39.99. How can they charge $20 more for each just because it was a wedding. And then she would have to pay the tax and delivery on top of the $20 extra per item. What is that. She cancelled the order and told the lady that was absurd. We ended up calling another florist that sells the same thing and told them we would pick them up, they are for a baby shower. Why are they only $39.99 now. How can they do that just for a wedding even though they are doing absolutely nothing extra?

URGENT Gerbil Diarrhea Wet Tail Problem… Can you please help?

***You can skip down to the next part below with the
asterisks***

Ok, so, I just came back, and found that in my gerbils’ litter box, there was abnormal poop. It seemed mushy and had VERY little red liquid (blood, most likely) and urine. There are 8 gerbils in the home. 3 are 5-week old pups, 3 more are 1-week old pups, and there is one mother gerbil, about 5 months old. Keep in mind that there is another cage nearby with the father.
We cleaned the cage out yesterday, and starting yesterday, my mom put oats in their fooddish.We gave the mother about 2-4 sunflower seeds.
I checked their bottoms, and the mom is the only one that has a brownish anus. She has the illness I think.

******
Now, my problem is that it is 9:00 PM over here, small animal hospitals are either closed sunday, or close at noon at sunday. All Petco’s , Petsmart’s, and Petland’s are closed.***

I’ve heard that wet tail can kill in 24 hrs. Is it wet tail? If it is, what can I do about it?
I Do not ave dri-tail with me, or any gerbil / pet meds at all.
The closest I have to medicine is:
**kefir
**plain yogurt
**oats
bananas (helps with human diarrhea)
eye dropper
**infant medicine syringe
water
cheerios

What could be the meaning of my dream?

So last night I had a weird dream. This might be kinda long, so bear with me

Ok…first, I was at a grocery store (not sure what store) with my mom, my sister, and the guy I like (let’s call him “K”…). So “K” said he was going into the back of the store for some reason, and then he left for a while. My mom bought all sorts of unhealthy food (popsicles, candy bars, ice cream, etc.) and the price for everything was $30. So later, when we were leaving, I got in the car with my mom and sister, then I was like “omg I totally forgot; ‘K’ is in the back of the store! He must have fallen asleep!” So we got out of the car and as I was walking to go get him, he was coming towards me out of the store. I touched his arm and he looked at me, then we all got in the car. I sat in the back seat, and my mom was driving with my sister in the front passenger seat, with ‘K’ between them (I guess there was a seat there?). Later, when I looked back, my sister was driving, K was in the passenger seat, and my mom was in the middle. As we approached my house, my sister was in the back seat next to me, and I was sitting right behind ‘K’, who was still in the passenger’s seat, with my mom driving. At this time, ‘K’ looked exactly like this other guy I used to like…let’s call him ‘J’. But for some odd reason, ‘J’ was wearing a bikini top with a jacket (in my dream, I automatically thought it was to cover his ‘man boobs’ lol. ‘J’ is kinda chunky, but ‘K’ isn’t fat at all.) My mom leaned over and hugged him, and I got jealous. Now, while it looked like ‘J’, the whole time I knew he was actually ‘K’….I know, it’s weird. So we got to my house, and ‘J’ turned back into ‘K’. He pointed to part of my house and said “what’s that?” and I told him that was my room, and my hamster’s cage was in there. Later I took him into my room, which looked nothing like my room does, and I took my hamster out of her cage. ‘K’ asked for a bit of hamster food so he could feed her, so I got some pieces of corn and some sunflower seeds and gave him ALOT (so much, that he dropped most of the food) and I had the rest of the food in my cheeks. It was really strange! I went to go spit out the food in the trash can, and was worried (while I was gone) that he would find out that my sister wet the bed. When I came back, he said “your mom wants your sister to make sure the room doesn’t smell.” Anyway, the dream sort of died off there, but it was really odd…
Does anybody have any idea what my dream might mean? Even a “translation” of just one thing would help me….it’s just so strange.
Thanks in advance! I’m totally baffled…lol
some extra things:
-My mom has never met either guy
-I used to like ‘J’, but not anymore (I think I liked him for about 2 weeks)
-’K’ is a very sweet guy, and I know both of my parents would approve of him if they met him

Thank’s for the great answers so far!

Why does my gerbil keep biting?

I bought him a couple days ago. he bit me on day one when trying to move him from the transport box to his cage (which I can understand) The day before yesterday I would be putting sunflower seeds in my hand and he would crawl on to it and grab them. Yesterday I tried putting my fist in the cage, I left it there without moving it slightly for a good while, he kept coming up to it, sniffing it, walking away, then coming back again. Eventually he came, sniffed it, and layed down and slept right underneath it allowing me to pet him and everything.

Today I found out my little nephews were teasing it when I wasn’t looking last night. Now I try putting my fist in there or anything and he digs into it with his fangs to the point where it bleeds pretty bad. All the ground I gained with the little guy is lost now. Can I get him back to being tame like he was or did the teasing cause permanent distrust?
I can safely pet him and I don’t try picking him up, but for some reason he keeps sniffing my hand a bit and then starts chewing on it. Something else I just realized, I had just gotten through eating a bunch of tortilla chips with the hand he was biting. Could that explain it?
