    The kids have enough problems dealing with his death. My concern is for them and not the environment at this point.

    You don't like it. I am only bothered by my childrens reactions and not buy the cutie little fishes or hoppy bunnies.


    If my children chose to smoke at the age of 18, then that is only their choice. Letting go of balloons is not illegal at any age so a poor analogy.


    And as you know nothing about me, I am surprised that you are surprised. As I know nothing about you, I simply have no opinion about you and thus do not care.


    I'm not surprised that you seem incapable of reading someones posts either.

    My response about it being unimaginative is regarding the butterflies being environmentally safe, a little different and very pretty.

    It's your children that are supposedly inheriting the planet. You might not have any comprehension of what goes out out there in the wild; but as ducks cannot type - it is down to people who DO to try and state their case.

    tell me whats wrong with my statement?
    unless your duck with its lack of typing skills is going to choke on the butterfly now?

    can it text?? call someone?? how ever will it raise the alarm??

    When I die, hopefully not for a long time, I wish this would happen.

    Just noticed the "sad" element - surely biodigradable would be ok.

    Been a rather sad day all round.

    Have a nice wedding OP - hope the sun shines nice for you all your planning comes true.

    Zazen999 - you really are totally and utterly unhelpful and down right nasty. Why don't you go and save the world somewhere else and stop trying to upset people!!

    who me?

    i usually lurk around the family board and the old style board, ive not been on MSE for a few months though...
    we have been planning our wedding for ages, but only got officially engaged yesterday and can now start actually booking / buying etc... so ive cropped up on here,
    only to find... well... lets just say im going to need the ignore button if it carries on! im too easily pulled into an online row, i think i enjoy it too much! lol and there are a few people on this section intent on forcing their opinions down others throats with an inability to let it drop...

    I agree with above, you upset me in another forum where I was just asking an innocent question.


    I come from the "special occasions and celebrations board". I often see wedding headlines when I look in it. I use the cross stitch forum. If you rather I leave I will go. Just nice to see something nice at times.
