Don't like weeds? Plant flowers

Seven Mile Road. The beaches are full of awful weeds, from the beach going south. Whose idea was it to look at weeds instead of the beautiful water?” Tom in Clyde Township: “To the horseback riders who let your animals go to the bathroom on the Wadhams Trail, shame on you. If you’re going to use the trail, be a responsible owner and at least take a shovel with you to move your animal’s waste over to the side. I counted seven huge messes between Wadhams and McLean Road. This is a residential area with many walkers, strollers and bikers using this trail. It is quite disgusting seeing this, and smelling this as you try to enjoy the trail. So get your act together, get off your horse, clean up after your animal if you’re going to use the trail, or don’t use it.” Bears “went to the bathroom” on the trail I ran last week. It was exciting. Rose in Port Huron: “Michael, you should have directed John from Croswell to call the Humane Society about the dogs instead of giving the answer you did. I don’t understand how people let kids and animals stay out in the heat or cold after all the talk about it.” No Name: “The City Council was talking about the city with the motor homes. There are people living in a motor home on Bancroft in the 1700 block. There is a black motor home with people living in it. Is that allowed?” Port Huron Resident: “I just wanted to know why they didn’t have a Ferris wheel or merry-go-round at the carnival. And there were no elephant ears at the carnival.” No elephant ears? That’s not a carnival. The carnival company brought that sky needle ride instead of a Ferris wheel. https://www.thetimesherald.com/story/opinion/readers/talk-back/2018/07/16/like-weeds-plant-flowers/36900685/

BARRY LEVINE: Songs of love to go with the candy and flowers - The Albany Herald

The song was featured in Presley’s 1961 film “Blue Hawaii” and was No. 1 for six weeks during that year. “Can’t Help Falling in Love” was one of Presley’s 18 No. 1 hits.2 – “A Lover’s Question” by Clyde McPhatter. Brook Benton and Jimmy T. Williams wrote the 1958 pop/R&B hit that climbed to No. 6 on the charts. McPhatter began his career with Billy Ward & The Dominoes in 1950, but left the group to form The Drifters in 1953. He departed The Drifters in 1954 to begin a solo career. “A Lover’s Question” was his only Top 10 hit.3 – “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling” by the Righteous Brothers. The song, which was written by Phil Spector, Barry Mann and Cynthia Wall, topped the charts in 1965 and was the year’s fifth-best selling song. “Rolling Stone” magazine ranked “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling” as No. 34 on the list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. This was the Righteous Brothers’ only No. 1 hit.4 – “So Much in Love” by The Tymes. This 1963 smash was the quintet’s only No. 1 hit. They had one other Top 10 hit later in the year with a remake of Johnny Mathis’ “Wonderful, Wonderful.”5 – “Will You Love Me Tomorrow?” by The Shirelles. Gerry Goffin and Carole King wrote the song for The Shirelles, who took the tune to No. 1 in 1960. The song is important because it is the first by an all-girl group to reach the top of the charts. The quartet had one other No. 1 hit with “Soldier Boy” in 1961. They also had several other Top 10 hits.6 – “A World Without Love” by Peter & Gordon. Penned by Beatle Paul McCartney for the British duo, it hit No. 1 in 1964 and was the duo’s first release. Peter was Peter Asher, brother of McCartney’s girlfriend, Jane Asher. McCartney gave the song to Peter and Gordon because he didn’t think it was suitable for The Beatles.7 – “Young Love” by Sonny James. The country singer’s version charted in 1957 and eventually climbed to No. 1. It was No. 1 on the country charts for nine weeks, and remained the longest-reigning of James’ 23 chart-topping songs. It was ranked as the No. 8 song for 1957.8 – “Love Letters in the Sand” by Pat Boone. The song was written in 1931 by J. Fred Coots, Nick Kenny and Charles Kenny, but it did not become a major hit until the summer of 1957. Boone’s version was No. 1 for five weeks and was the No. 2 song of the year. It was the fourth of hi... http://www.albanyherald.com/news/local/barry-levine-songs-of-love-to-go-with-the-candy/article_d63a298b-fffb-5bb1-b3b5-787665d0b187.html

Flowers from all over the world sent to El Paso victim's funeral - WKMG News 6 & ClickOrlando

EL PASO, Texas (CNN) - Antonio Basco stood in front of his wife's casket for two hours Friday hugging strangers. The El Paso man initially thought no one would show up for his wife's visitation service. His wife, Margie Reckard, 63, was killed when a gunman opened fire at a Walmart. The couple had no relatives in the area. Basco walked into the La Paz Faith Memorial and Spiritual Center to a storm of applause and a procession of people wanting to hug him. The building was at capacity with 400 mourners. Outside, another 700 waited in nearly 100-degree heat to pay respects, according to funeral organizers. "People were telling me they came from different faiths, different cities. It's just incredible how much love and support every single one of you has shown," Reckard's grandson, Tyler, said.   Margie 'always had a smile on her face'   Reckard's son, D... https://www.clickorlando.com/news/national/flowers-from-all-over-the-world-sent-to-el-paso-victims-funeral

Petals by the Beach uses donation to spread kindness through flowers - A beach florist got an unusual contribution and request recently: $500 from a Pacific Beach woman to pass out flowers to random passers-by. “We have never seen such generosity ... - San Diego Community News

That was pretty cool.”The donation came from Pacific Beach resident Thera Storm, who is a grief counselor. Storm said the recent back-to-back mass shootings in Texas and Ohio, that left at least 31 people dead, prompted her to do something extraordinary.“After those two shootings within 13 hours of each other, I noticed the reaction on Facebook was just so scary and negative,” said Storm. “The next morning I sat down and thought, ‘What could I do that’s positive?’ Then I had the idea of donating money to a local flower shop.”Storm was almost afraid of the reaction she’d get from Cummings, whom she didn’t know, when she approached her with her unorthodox plan. But Storm shouldn’t have worried.“She donated a generous amount at our shop for us to pass out flowers to complete strangers,” said Cummings. “She wasn’t paying it forward. In her words, ‘She wanted to spread kindness to the masses.’”Cummings took Storm’s money and honored her request.“For two weeks I’ve been passing out flowers every day to random people walking by of all different ages,” Cummings said, adding she wasn’t embarrassed about it. “I just said, ‘We had a customer recently donate a significant amount of money, and we’re spreading kindness and happiness.’”The reaction to Storm’s flower donation has been uplifting. “People said that is so nice, we need more of that,” said Cummings, adding, “A few people even cried. I began taking pictures (of recipients) and putting them on our Facebook and Instagram pages.”“I feel like I had a very small, passive role,” said Storm of her gesture. “All of the work has been done by Melissa.”It’s Storm's practice to take 10 percent of every paycheck and stash it away to do something special at a later date. Asked if being a grief counselor facto... http://www.sdnews.com/view/full_story/27660789/article-Petals-by-the-Beach-uses-donation-to-spread-kindness-through-flowers-?instance=bbp
