Mans Evolution

The seeds are sowed,
Three by three,
The chick hatches,
The seedlings now trees,

Flowers bloom, as adolescent,
Sun’s shinning,
Flood waters arising,
Rainfalls poring, down our cheeks,
A rainbow appears,
As the bird fly’s free,

Alpinist climbs the mountain side,
As the bird flies by and soars the sky,

Sunflower, petals – withered,
Wrist watch stoped,

As new offspring’s sprout,
New stars are formed,
Our galaxies expanding,
Evolution forever evolving, never ending.

would these colors match?

i have a brownish-red tube top and i have to have a shirt under it, for school, so would a plain black shirt match? i dont have time to buy a new shirt either. also would a pale yellow shirt under match or would it look kinda like a sunflower?

*sorry for the category!* but please answer anyway..!

What do you think of this idea? Can you come up with a summary?

It’s a book about a girl named Charlie. She works on her family sunflower farm. Her grandmother hires a man and his family to work on the farm. She falls in love with Nolan- the oldest brother. They start a relationship, but things start to go wrong at the farm. Her grandmother dies, the company that bought sunflower seeds from them has found a new farm to purchase from, and a group of boys take great pleasure in bullying her little sister and it goes a little too far. Also, Nolan’s little brother, who’s the same age as Charlie, takes interest in her, too.

Is this interesting? Can you help me with a summary?

I might want to make this into a series. The first book would be called “Seed”, the next “Sprout”, and the next “Bloom” or “Flower”. It represents her coming into a woman.

What do you think of it?

Please Help???

Girlfriend Birthday Present?

O.k. here’s what i know. She likes Sunflowers, was thinking of getting a star tattoo, is into crafts etc. I’m already going to take her out somewhere nice for dinner. So my ideas were:
Jewelry related to stars or maybe sunflowers
A sunflower poster
Picture frame with a disposable camera.
C.D. of songs that remind me of her
There are my ideas, any suggestions of my existing ideas and new ideas completely would be much appreciated. Thanks =)

Ingredient lists … argh!?

As a new vegetarian trying to cut out all dairy and eggs from my diet, I’m having trouble with reading labels. I’ve always been a calorie/fat/etc checker, but reading all that fine print is not something I’m used to. I tend to skim over stuff. Then I realized, most items say at the bottom in bold print:

Contains: Milk, egg, and wheat ingredients.

Or whatever the ingredients are. So I bought this box of grape-nuts bars, and it says at the bottom:

Allergy information: Manufactured on equipment that processes sunflower seeds, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, and sesame seeds.

So I was like, okay! That seems good. I was in a big hurry too and these things seemed like a tasty new snack. So I’m looking at the label this morning, wondering … where is that saturated fat coming from? Oh yeah, nonfat milk, calcium caseinate, and butter! I guess it’s my fault for not reading the fine print. Do any other vegan/vegetarians have this annoying problem when trying to find a new treat?

What is the name of this scary movie?

I never saw the movie, but I want to know the name. It’s about a family who moves into an old house in the middle of nowhere with a huge sunflower garden. I think the main character is a teenage girl. The last family that lived in the house seemed to just disappear. I know the movie is fairly new. Can anyone remind me of the name?

Why are my sunflowers dying?

I have a brand new home garden and these sunflowers were doing well, and suddenly they are drooping one by one and dying. I noticed the first one to go had no roots left really.

I should add that I just laid sod on most of my back yard and as part of caring for that new sod, I have to water quite a bit. As a result, the garden has had puddles once or twice a day. Could it be the roots are rotting out? Or is something eating the roots?

The sod was a $400 investment so if it’s the over-watering I think I’ll just have to pull the sunflowers sadly, but if it’s grubs maybe I can do something? But I think I’ll need to act quickly. Only 2 out of 6 sunflowers still look healthy at this point.

Please help! thanks!

–Stace
I guess I should add that these are little guys. They are only about 1.5 feet tall so far. There’s only 2 out of 6 left now and they look a little sad. =( So it’s over-watering?

Making dinner tonight for me and my mother, with chicken? Please read and answer!x?

Ok so, tonight I’m planning on making dinner for myself and my mother, but I’m unsure of what to make, but I want the main thing on the dinner to be chicken. The ingredients that I have are- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast fillets, carrots, cheese, butter, lemon, bread, 3 large onions, 1 red pepper, 3 tins of peeled plum tomatoes, 1 tin of new potatoes, flour, BBQ sauce, mint sauce, sunflower oil, vegetable oil, sea salt, normal salt, ground black pepper, white pepper, stock cubes, seasoning’s, and possibly pasta if I can get some over the shop by tonight:-).

What I really want to make, is BBQ chicken/New York style chicken, because we both like it, but I’m not entirely sure of how to make it. What it is, is chicken, topped with melted cheese and BBQ sauce, with a side of vegetables/pasta or whatever. So what I’m asking is, If I was to make BBQ chicken, what way would I cook the chicken, (oven, grill, etc), and how long would I cook the chicken? (on what gas mark if cooking with the oven) and how would I get the cheese and sauce to taste right with it? And also, does anyone have any idea’s of dishes that I could make with the chicken? All answers are greatly appreciated! xx

-Oh and btw, I’m fourteen years old, but I cook a lot so I know what I’m doing, so suggest anything, but nothing too hard and preferably within two hours.

Vegan bread that expires in a day!!!!!!!!!

I went to the grocery store this morning and saw them putting out some fresh new bread (the kind i just started to buy) so I grabbed one, and the expiary date said it expires TOMORROW?? It says not to refrigerate and store at room temp. but this doesn’t make sence, it has basically the same ingreiendts as the other vegan bread I buy, but those ones always expire at least a week after I purchase them!

Do you think their wrong or can I keep in in my cupboards for a week. (This expirary date for this bread has ALWAYS been 1 day after)

this is the ingredients

Stone-ground whole wheat flour*, water, sour starter* (stone-ground whole wheat flour*, water), honey*, kamut*, amaranth*, soft wheat kernel*, flax seeds*, millet*, sunflower seeds*, salt, yeast*.

my other vegan bread did not contain any preservatives or additives.

Any fresh salad recipes?

I have been eating the same salad for a few months now, and it is getting old. I use green leaf lettuce, red onion, tomato, sunflower seeds, avocado, feta cheese, olive oil, salt, and pepper. It’s so good, but I need some fresh new summer/spring flavors.

just had the weirdest dream. what does it mean?

ok I just dreamed i was hangin out with my older sister at the pool wit a guys and i was jump jumpin in and out mainly then they start talking about sunflower seeds and the scene changes. then im hangin out with some ppl from my avid class in new york and we are chillin eatin sunflower seeds and watchin tv then the scene changes again and im on a cot in my living room so i thought i was awake b/c thats were i was b4 i fell asleep so i tried to move my legs and theres an extreme pressure on my whole body when i tried to talk the same thing. then i thought bout moving and the same pressure and it got dark and hot so w/o thinking about it i moved and the pressure got so strong i was trying to ture and move the covers and it was gettin hotter and b4 i could uncover my face i was sittin on the couch trying to call my ex in north carolina but the sun light from out side kept dimming in and out so i tryied to call my moms work number and i no both numbers by heart but they cam out wrong and i was scared then i really woke up…

P.S i no they say if your soul leaves your body you cant move but that has happened but with no pressure i just couldnt move or talk i could see and think but i was still sleep.

I transplanted sunflowers, now they look terrible.?

My 8 sunflowers were about 3′ tall when I transplanted them to another part of the garden. I dug out the root ball, and moved them to a sunnier location. I watered the hole where they were to be planted, put a few ounces of miracle gro, and put the root ball into the new hole. I pressed the dirt to make an indentaiton around the stem, and have watered them well every day.
5 of the plants curved into a “C” shape, with all of the leaves limp and curling, but then we had a rainstorm, and they perked up. As soon as the sun came out, the leaves began to curl and droop again.

It’s been a week. The lower leaves are limp and yellow or dry and dead, the upper leaves are droopy, and the head development has slowed to an almost standstill (they look like they’ve developed a tiy bit, but not much).

3 plants never drooped at all, and continued developing their heads as though they were never moved. What’s wrong with the droopy ones? Have I killed them? Can I help them?

I’m afraid of sunflowers but my boyfriend got me one anyways.?

It’s silly I know but I’m afraid of sunflowers. It’s usually taller than the average flower, it isn’t covered by a lot of petals, and I just dislike the center of it greatly, the flower just makes me shudder! Ugh!

My boyfriend however doesn’t know that. He was trying to be romantic and I thought it was so sweet. He gave me the sunflower because he said it reminded him of my bright colored hair and roses were so stereotypical.

I kept it a secret because it is an odd fear, at least to me.

I really did love the gesture so I accepted the flower as if it was a rose even though I didn’t really like the flower, I pretended as if I did.

I seriously can’t stand it, I’ve been diddling with it and what not when my boyfriend’s around so he won’t be offended and think I’d love a gift he gives me one minute and ignore it the next like a kid bored of a new toy. I will most likely keep messing with it until it dies.

Do you think this is right of me or should I just tell him I don’t like the flower?

I really just want an opinion because your answer probably won’t really sway me.

Also does anyone know how long it takes for a sunflower to die?
@Kera Booysen I honestly don’t know what your problem is. I’m AFRAID of sunflowers, why do you think I didn’t tell him I didn’t like the gift? Because I know he was trying. Dumb Bitch.

How do I keep bugs from eating my sunflowers?

Last Sunday I bought this little “greenhouse” that had pellets and individual cups in order to help me start a little sunflower garden. The directions said to plant the seeds, then cover the whole thing with this compostable plastic sheet that came with it. After a couple days, mold started to grow all over the soil, so I removed the sheet and made sure to keep it moist. The sunflowers have just started sprouting and I noticed yesterday that something is eating my brand new seedlings. What can I do to keep things from getting at my plants until I put them in the ground? (I’m kind of new to gardening, so please forgive my lack of knowledge)
