Your Questions About Do Sunflowers Come Back

Mandy asks…
What’s the procedure for burying a dog when it dies?
My puppy (17 years old Cocker Spaniel) is not doing well. I know her time is very soon. When she dies, I’m going to bury her. I keep hearing that I need to put her in a plastic bag. A trash bag doesn’t seem biodegradable. Wouldn’t a burlap sack or something work better?
Then I understand you’re supposed to sprinkle lime powder on it so that other animals don’t come dig her up, and it expediates the decomposition process. Is this correct? Anything else I need to do?
How deep do I need to dig?
Does anyone know something about this? Am I on the right track? I want to be prepared because I know the day is soon.
… and I hope I don’t get arrested doing this. We’ve got some big sunflower and corn fields near us, and I thought that would be better than the back yard.
(She’s stumbling around the house right now. Her little paws keep sliding out from under her, or she can’t get over the threashold in the doorway. Poor baby. As long as she’s not in pain…)
No rude replies please, but I considered cremating her. They charge a bunch for it though, and it kind of grosses me out. Plus, this is my dog, not my child.
Burying her is the same idea of “dust to dust,” plus you can have a little ceremony.
Would rather put the $$ into my kids’ college funds.

Susan answers:
Do not bury your dog on another person’s property, especially in an agricultural field as the plow will bring her up to the surface and her body may contaminate human food stuffs (nasty, but you need to know it).
Bury her 4-5 feet deep, she doesn’t need to be wrapped in anything, but mine all were buried in their favorite old blankets. I have never used lime to speed decomposition, I buried them in a corner of the yard where it didn’t matter.
I like to keep my dog’s collar and a clipping of their hair before we cover them up.
I’m sorry for your impending loss.

i am drifting away!!! plz help….?
Reading this will take a lot of ur precious time… and if you want to help only then read this,,, else please dont waste your time as this is cliche and boring!! just my fu**ing mental block…
I have some fears and thinking about them costs me the entire day. I have never had a friend circle and wasnt outspoken. I have never been able to talk properly even with my close cousins (sisters). and like a dumb cub meekly agreeing to whatever others say,… I dont think much. I crammed in school and scored well. Now it hurts and I am reading my science books again because it is cool. I am 25 but feel like an illiterate when I see others debating and making very sound arguments, which I will never be able to every in my life and I know that.
Whenever I write something on facebook, I hold back because I know that no one will ever comment on that thing (perhaps they think it doesnt make sense, or probably why to comment on anything written by an unimportant person)
I need confidence like a sunflower needs the sunshine. My best friend has a very good sense of humor which I try to copy. But i always fail and it doesnt suit me, and obviously it doesnt come from my heart. And it feels like someone is applying all his energy to push a broken down car rather than the car running by itself. It might do anything but turn on. I actually needed to impress a girl but didnt know how guys talk to a girl. So tried my hand at almost everything but failed. Obviously, why will a girl love me when I am not even an average person.
I am a very happy-go-lucky kinda person but I know the world does not have any place for such people and I am a loser. I have lived a simple life. I never give a damn to what anyone is doing, what one’s actions are, and trying to score some points by pulling one’s leg or making fun. These things dont come to my mind. And I dont have any aim in life. That hurts because I was good in academics at school, but just tried to behave like a rouge because I was very nice and innocent and my school mates always cashed on this.
I have posted this question after making 7 drafts. I somehow thought I could manage this on my own so rerained from putting this up, but once a loser always a loser.
If anyone could help and really help, then thanks for taking out your time.

Susan answers:
Ok bro…first of all I want to stress out that I have the same things happening to me in the ” Ladies Department ” lol. I have come to find out that the anxiety I feel when I talk to them comes from past experiences and wounds that have not yet healed themselves. I have been very detrimental to myself (detrimental = hurtful ) mentally. The truth is that most of my low confidence is due to the thoughts that are in my head. I felt that If I was confident everything will be alright..I would have everything..I would be fulfilled. The truth is that this urge inside my being that wants to be self confident is rejecting all the feelings that were PRESENT which is labeled as ” Low self-confidence ” which when I really cut it down it means Fear of a painful outcome or Fear of being hurt, rejected, judged and etc. So what I do is instead of rejecting my present.. I just let it be there. Judging yourself is what hurts. When you become present with yourself and let everything run on its own … There is a peace about this. With repetition…ALL your low self confidence..all this fear…all this judging will vanish 100% I GUARANTEE IT. I will post this..its a video from youtube from a man named mooji. Give it try and then you may see what I am talking about.

Sharon asks…
I was caught shoplifting…help…?
Me and my friend (let’s call him bob) were at my house and we were on my computer and he said “hey let’s go to 711 I have 2$ we can get sunflower seeds!” so I’m like allright and we go we were messing around with my smoke bombs when he said “you know I don’t have 2$” I said “ok? Then let’s go home.” he said “no dude we can just steal some.” so I laughed (obviously thinking he was joking) then we got there and he said give me ur hoodie so I give him it cause he said he was cold. So we go inside 711 and we walk and the chick is starring at us I’m like “dude how much $ u have?” then he didn’t answer so we kept walking and we were right by the candy and the lady was talking to some guy (lady/chick is the clerk) and i asked again and he said “none I told u were stealing them.” so I was like wow and he took airheads and toor into them behind some 2leters and he stuffed them in his pocket we would have got away BUT he got greedy and took to long so the lady was like “HEY what you gonna buy!” (she was indin) and he was like “o were just looking for sometin to drink
” and she walked up to us and she said “give me the candy.” and he said “huh?” and she said “I saw u tear that candy give it back!” and he was like o sorry..” and he shoved the torn behind the 2leters and she was like “WHAT YOU DOIN BEHIND 2LETERS?!” and he was like o nothing the candy is here and he grabbed a sealed pack but she found the torn one…. And she only told my friend to call his mom because she could tell I had no idea what he was doing. So she called his mom then she told him that we are banned from 711 D: and I’m worried because what happens if I go there cause my mom takes me and she wants me to come in! I promised my bro I wouldn’t tell her so he said that if ur name comes up I’ll say that you had nothing to do with it I don’t wanna tell my mom what do I do?!
