Valid point. I guess that an arm or leg is still viable once severed from you since with proper care, it could be reattached to you or someone else. The roses will continue to ‘live’ for a bit if put in a vase with water, yet the transplant anaolgy persists, in that reattachment to a support host organism is necessary within a finite space of time.
BTW-I didn’t really think you wished nasty indignities upon Julie with construction tools, yet it did create a vivid mind picture.
Good luck with Beth. You may want to comment that you searched all over town to find the really good dead roses.
I got a dozen roses delivered at work from Ivylad on Valentine’s Day via ProFlowers.
He got big brownie points for that one.
The flowers are still sitting on my kitchen table. They bloomed beautifully, and they’re starting to get a little brown around the edges, but they’ve help up pretty well.
I ordered some flowers for a sick friend in the hospital. When I called to confirm their delivery they told me, “We’re so sorry to have to tell you this, but “person’s name” died yesterday.”
I knew she hadn’t died, but it was still alarming. She never got the flowers, but I did get the money back. Wtf? I’m sure the florist made such a mix up and then told me that someone was dead. Dumbfucks.
Don’t get too invested in this thread. If you do, and you and this woman end up doing the horizontal tango, you might accidentally call out “Of yes, Beth, fuck me baby.”
And she’ll go “Who the fuck is Beth?”
And you’ll try to explain, but by then she’ll have her skirt on and be carrying her shoes out the door.
