The Bear Van

Wordless Wednesday

00033073

People are strange and this shot just proves it!

Why on earth would someone cover their van with teddy bears?

We’ve got a friend that loves teddy bears so much that she has not one but two rooms in her house that are just filled to the brim with teddy bears of all kinds and all sizes, but even she wouldn’t cover a vehicle with teddy bears!

Tell your mom you love her with Flowers

It’s Mother’s Day tomorrow! Did you remember to get your mom something? How about sending her some Mother’s Day flowers? It’s probably too late to send them and get them to her by tomorrow but there’s nothing wrong with a belated gift. Mom’s love flowers and gifts at any time, it doesn’t have to be a special occasion.

One thing that I really like about ProFlowers is that their flowers come straight from the fields. Proflowers apparently even oversees the planting of the flowers. So that means between deciding which types of flowers they will sell, and bring them in fresh from the fields for your flower delivery you’ll be sending top quality fresh flowers to your mother or someone you love. The prices should be lower too because there’s no middle man. The Wall Street Journal rated Proflowers as “Best Value” when it comes to quality, price and selection.

Speaking of selection, ProFlowers has an abundance of lovely floral arrangements to choose from as well as a variety of plants and plant baskets. You can even select a Bonsai for delivery! Then there’s their gourmet gifts - chocolate and desserts, fresh fruit, gift baskets, steaks and seafoods, teddy bears and so much more.

If you’re on a budget you can even view the many flower selections and other gift ideas by price. By this I mean you can look at best sellers priced under $40, in the $40 to $60 range, $60 to $80 range, and finally best sellers over $80. I’m sure that if someone were visiting the site and had an idea of how much they wanted to spend they’d appreciate being able to quickly see the best sellers in their desired price range.

I really like this site so I’ve bookmarked it so I’ll know where to take my business the next time I decide to send flowers or other great gifts.

Animal Troubles

(1) Houdini - The 12-foot-long Burmese python in Ketchum, Idaho, that accidentally swallowed a large electric blanket in July and an electrical cord, after pulling it from the wall. Veterinary surgeons managed to remove the whole thing, leaving Houdini in good condition.

(2) Crash - The pelican that smashed into a car in Malibu, Calif., and had undergone a month’s rehabilitation only, when finally released in July, to collide beak-first with some rocks, before successfully lifting off. Wildlife officials said Crash may have been disoriented from eating toxic algae.

(3) Barney - The Doberman pinscher guarding a children’s museum near Wells, England who lost control and chewed up almost $1 million worth of rare teddy bears in August, including one once belonging to Elvis Presley.

Heard of any other animal troubles? Let me know!
