I have decided to start my own business from HOME and want help with a company NAME that will go on the side of my delivery van an adverts
I will only be offering flowers for funerals like crosses, hearts, names spelt out with flowers you know the kind of thing I mean
any help with a NAME welcome
Funeral florist (business name) needed?
Well I was thinking you could go with Angels Flowers.I think that it is fitting for what you plan on doing.
Reply:I would not limit yourself to funerals only. If you get other requests, if you dont do them, just charge a high price and they will go elsewhere. Funeral is kind of a dark word. Necessary, but dark.

Childhood Is Now Over By Age 11 could this be true?
http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,3...
After reading this comment from a mother I am gob smacked that a school would allow this to happen, if true it is spectacularly ridiculous.
I have an 11year old daughter and on valentines day she came home from school in complete misery because she had been teased for being the only girl in year 6 who didn%26#039;t have a boyfriend. The school had actively allowed expensive presents, delivery to the school office of bunches of flowers etc etc for 10 and 11 year olds.
Childhood Is Now Over By Age 11 could this be true?
I did hear something like that on tv yesterday. i think its awful, but it is i think a lot to do with advertising, kids magazines, and the parents.
to the person who said she %26quot;grew up%26quot; at 10, then all i can say is that i did enjoy playing with my Sindy doll when i was 12 or 13. we were much more naive those days, but are better off for it nowadays.
my 9 year old grand daughter came to my house last week and told me she had a boyfriend and she was going out to play with him after tea. i told her he wasn%26#039;t a boyfriend, but a friend that is a boy. she was insulted indeed, and insisted he was a boyfriend. They are hearing all this at school, and they are not %26quot;with it%26quot; if they dont have a boyfriend. My daughter found a text on her phone ( which she only gets when she is out for safety reasons) from the boy saying he loved her and she had replied back, i love you too.
i despair, honestly!!!!
i played with boys when i was her age but it was just all friends together, which is all she is doing, they go out to play and then meet up with friends, or sit in her room listening to cd%26#039;s. Just what she is doing with her female friends.
i would hate to be a kid nowadays
Reply:been like that for years not new news to me or my wife
Reply:Well that is a little wierd but in general, yes, I%26#039;d say I grew out of childhood at around 11 or twelve and that%26#039;s the way it should be...none of us need to run around playing dolls and chatting on the phone about boys instead of with them when we%26#039;re still 15 or so.
Reply:I dread to think how this world is going to end up, and what our kids will have to endure in there lifes
Reply:It%26#039;s true in some places. Where I live it%26#039;s true, and the infant and junior schools down the road are testiment to this. The kids are so unhappy.
My daughter goes to school where this isn%26#039;t true. It also isn%26#039;t true in the place I grew up in, we visit there and the kids are normal.
This does happen in some places, but again it%26#039;s media making it crazy. If you don%26#039;t want your child to be like this, don%26#039;t raise them like this. If you read the article, it says how the parents actually encourage it - letting them do stuff, not having proper control. They are choosing to let them have make-up and stuff. I saw a 6 year old yesterday with a mobile. The parents allow the child to reject dolls at 6. I wouldn%26#039;t allow it. I play with dolls with my daughter. We play together, with dolls.
The parent controls what the child becomes....not society.
I feel sorry for you and your daughter. The school down the road from me is like this. They gave eachother love bites, the boys held the girls down (that%26#039;s as much as I know - there is more I bet), and it%26#039;s an infant school. They were in year 1 - 5 and 6 years old. I put my child in a different school. If I was you, I%26#039;d think about it.
Reply:yah !!!!! its over at 10!
Reply:Don´t know what kind of school that was. Wouldn´t happen where I work.
Last week I was away on an overnight field trip with forty six 10 and 11yr olds. I was stunned to find a group of girls putting make up on for %26quot;the night time%26quot; and amazed to see that the contents of their make up bags were superior to mine!
It was face washed and straight downstairs!
Reply:I thought school was for learning NOT receiving bunches of flowers, which no doubt the kids parents sent/paid for anyway.
Schools should be turning away such deliveries and rules on uniform etc should be much stricter.
I despair of my peers!
Reply:wow that%26#039;s crazy.
Here they just give little cards and candy!
But they also have a policy if you bring something you have to bring enough for the whole class!
Reply:well, that happens at my school all the time. we are all a little older than 10 and 11 but what can i say. it isn%26#039;t like the 1950%26#039;s anymore. back then it would be considered a crime to do something like that, but now in the modern time, well, its just like that
Reply:thats sad, my own grandson always does well on valentines day, this year he got 17 cards, hes only 2, valentines day is his birthday,
Reply:I agree, but I think its youger than 11 though.
Reply:It seems to look that way, girls as young as 13 get their eye brows waxed, but they are not street wise! (WELL NOT ALL OF THEM)!
Reply:Sadly, childhood is over long before age 11 for some children - and it%26#039;s all down to us adults (directly or indirectly)
Reply:They must have no sensitivity at all to childrens feelings if that happened to her daughter. The schools and government and media are all at fault for this situation for their usurping of parents authority and technology for providing the means. Internet and mobile phones seperate children from their parents, they can talk to their friends all the time and have no time for activities with parents and so they get their values from their peers (or older kids they meet on the net), which are all about growing up and having the latest thing. Also some parents are happy to let the media and their peers dictate their lives and not let them be children sitting them in front of the telly because this society says mothers should work and full time motherhood is not valued. Its very very sad. I feel sorry for kids nowadays.
Reply:It is absolutely tragic that our childrens%26#039; childhood is being stolen. There are so many years ahead for make up, boyfriends etc but the childhood years are so short and precious.
I really think that there is a very sinister agenda here and parents really need to wake up and fight it. What sort of education system teaches its schoolchildren not just about homosexuality at age 11 but also that it is okay to have sex outside a stable relationship. More broken homes then, more lost, unhappy children of the future. It is downright wicked. By the time they are 20 they will look 40, tired and used.
A poster has said that it%26#039;s grooming. It sure is and it is time that parents woke up to that fact.
No wonder our children are the unhappiest in Europe.
PS Shouldn%26#039;t the NSPCC be looking at what%26#039;s going on in our schools?
Reply:Yikes. I%26#039;m only 23 and things have REALLY changed from when I was a kid.
People wonder what%26#039;s wrong with kids these days, but I have to wonder, what%26#039;s wrong with some PARENTS these days?
When you don%26#039;t teach your kids morals, or discipline, or to have self-respect, how do expect them to turn out?
Reply:State sponsored grooming. This country is run by some truly sick people. Children are no longer allowed to be kids. Why DO children have to be introduced to the concept of homosexuality at 11 years old? If you can%26#039;t work that one out, well, think about it. In a few years we will have a lot of mentally ill, damaged young people, all to keep the wierdos happy
Reply:So sad but unfortunately nowadays true. I have a friend who is proud that her daughter is %26#039;streetwise%26#039; at 9! I sent Valentine cards to both my children secretly for years so they would not feel left out in any way but they were a lot older than 11.

How much money is a good tip amount?
Either in a restaurant or delivery? Should I tip for all deliverys like flowers and what about hairdressers do you tip them to?
How much money is a good tip amount?
20 per cent
Reply:it depends on who is serving u because if they are good they would get at least 5.00 dollars
Reply:10% is minimum, 15% for good service. 20% for excellent service. NEVER stiff the wait staff!
Reply:a restaurant tip is should be 15%-20% of your total bill.. A hairdresser tip should be around $5 maybe more depending on what u had done
Reply:Depends on the service...
* Really crappy service that makes you wanna throw tables around...no tip
* Regular crappy service that makes you wonder if the waiter was rolling a joint before he delivered your food...5% tip
* Ok service that is somewhat satisfactory but still leaves room to be desired...10% tip
* Great service that makes you wanna ask the waiter out...15% tip
* Best service ever that makes you wish you were the waiter...20% tip
(I%26#039;m bored)
Reply:what ever that tax amount is double it and leave that for the tip
Reply:eating out 20% unless the service is bad then I do like 15%
delivery food 10% $20 for a pizza $2 tip- if I order $50 and get 5 pizzas I%26#039;d give a $5
Hairdressers yes you tip- depending on the job they did I just give about 15%
Tattoo artist- tip
Don%26#039;t tip Starbucks or coffee baristias. Its stupid. Don%26#039;t tip fast food or sandwich shops that have tip jars out. We can%26#039;t encourage this. $5+ is more than enough for coffee
Reply:Tips are a sham. It%26#039;s almost expected now. These waitstaff come from a generation of crybabies with a sense of entitlement. A lot provide poor service and a $hitty attitude and expect a big tip. Those ones, I stiff. No tip. Tips are for exemplary service. To reward poor service is absurd. Remember, tips are for excellent service, not mediocre service. If the server does a poor job, you should not feel guilt tripped into leaving a small tip, you should leave nothing. If they do a good job you can leave a tip, say 15 percent. That%26#039;s really optional. A good job is not an excellent job. An excellent job warrants a 20+ percent tip. Be generous to those that deserve it.

Reply:20% is correct for good service, I tip about 15% on food delivery.

delievery, i just tip a dollar for every $10 that i spend
hair dresser, just did that today! i tipped well over 20% cause the lady did a fantastic job! Normally , like the last time, i tipped nothing cause she screwed my hair up(different chick)
normally, just 15-18% for hair dressers, I don%26#039;t give shampooers tips cause the place i go to doesn%26#039;t allow it.
Reply:I am so sick of people saying %26quot;why tip? they get paychecks%26quot;. Do you realize your waiter or waitress makes about 2 bucks an hour? Tipping really depends on service. I%26#039;d say 20% minimum unless your server did a truly crappy job. Just remember, he or she is taxed on what you SHOULD have left whether you leave anything or not. Plus, if you%26#039;re a regular at that restaurant you may get some unpleasant seasonings at your next visit for under tipping.

These days, we%26#039;re expected to tip EVERYONE.
Reply:Why tip? these people get paid so why should we have to tip them on the top? I don%26#039;t get tips as a nurse so ...
Reply:10% at a restaurant
Reply:I am more critical of waitstaff in restaurants having been a waitress myself. I leave 20% usually, but a poor server will get 10% or less from me. I have gave up to 40% for a few exceptional waitstaff that went way beyond their duty to keep me happy. I give a hairdresser 15 to 20 % depending on how I look at the end of the cut.
Reply:you should leave a tip around 15%. if they worked well and were nice, 15 is sufficient but 20 is more appreciated. as for other services like florists and stuff, id only tip them if they were really nice. the only person i tip other than food is when i get my hair cut.
calculating 15% is alot easier than you think. just take the number (lets say 35?$) and move the decimal over one space to the left. we now have 3.5$. now take that amount and divide it in half. 1.75$. add those numbers together.
a tip for a 35$ dinner should be about 5.25$. maybe 6 if you had a good waiter.
hope this helped.
remember though, tips arent required, especially to asshole servers.
Reply:I tip delivery $1-2.
I tip restaurants $5-10 depending on the cost.
I don%26#039;t believe in a certain percentage for tips and it also depends on the service in a restaurant. However, no matter what I will always tip a waiter/waitress.

These days, we%26#039;re expected to tip EVERYONE.
Reply:Why tip? these people get paid so why should we have to tip them on the top? I don%26#039;t get tips as a nurse so ...
Reply:10% at a restaurant
Reply:I am more critical of waitstaff in restaurants having been a waitress myself. I leave 20% usually, but a poor server will get 10% or less from me. I have gave up to 40% for a few exceptional waitstaff that went way beyond their duty to keep me happy. I give a hairdresser 15 to 20 % depending on how I look at the end of the cut.
Reply:you should leave a tip around 15%. if they worked well and were nice, 15 is sufficient but 20 is more appreciated. as for other services like florists and stuff, id only tip them if they were really nice. the only person i tip other than food is when i get my hair cut.
calculating 15% is alot easier than you think. just take the number (lets say 35?$) and move the decimal over one space to the left. we now have 3.5$. now take that amount and divide it in half. 1.75$. add those numbers together.
a tip for a 35$ dinner should be about 5.25$. maybe 6 if you had a good waiter.
hope this helped.
remember though, tips arent required, especially to asshole servers.
Reply:I tip delivery $1-2.
I tip restaurants $5-10 depending on the cost.
I don%26#039;t believe in a certain percentage for tips and it also depends on the service in a restaurant. However, no matter what I will always tip a waiter/waitress.

I need a really special favour ??????
A close friend was in an accident recently and is in hospital!
What type of flowers should I arrange for this person......
Special delivery....or Hand delivered?
I need a really special favour ??????
Definitely hand delivered an NO Star Gazer lillies. They smell awful and stuff people up. Something bright and cheery that will last and probably nothing too fragrant because of the person being in recovery. Carnations. Daisies. Tulips. If you can get the latter two. Where I work you can get bouquets of carnations dyed funky colors with glitter on them. I doubt there is a Meijer near you since you spelled it %26quot;favour%26quot; and not the traditional American %26quot;favor%26quot;. Good luck!
Reply:Hand delivered if you think they are up for company, if not, have them specially delivered.
Can%26#039;t go wrong with roses or carnations.
Reply:nice hat dude.
Reply:roses..hand delivered
Reply:Roses %26amp; some balloons, you should hand deliver to show that you really care.
Reply:hand deliver wild flowers they are so pretty.
Reply:hand delivered of course and a hge card signe by lots of ppl and a big tedy bear.one of those %26#039;me to u ones%26#039;

What can I do for my mom for her birthday tomorrow?
Its my moms birthday tomorrow and I need a good idea for her. We dont live together, shes turning 51. I was thinking of having flowers delivered to her work? What other fun delivery things are out there? An ideas?
What can I do for my mom for her birthday tomorrow?
Send her one of those fruit basket things where they cute the fruit into flowers... Have it sent to work she%26#039;ll love it!
Reply:Well, I%26#039;m not the type of person that send things to a mom. I would do this, call her, have a surprise party, and give her a great gift.
Reply:make her a cake....flowers are good too
Reply:bake her a cake if yu have time...else flowers sound great!!!
Maybe you could give her a surprise at her work ..tell her colleagues thatyou plan to throw a secret party post work ..arrange flowers.. cake .. at a coffeee shop ... or even the cafeteria at the work place and ...just surprise her!!!!
Reply:give her something she likes like flowers or something she likes to eat and give her a gift card to somewhere like a resturant
Reply:flowers to work would be great- she could show off to all her coworkers....maybe some balloons too!
Reply:If it has to be something delivered I%26#039;d deliver the flowers along with a picnic lunch to her myself. Another good idea is to give her a worry free day.....offer to cook her supper and clean her house or take her vehicle to be washed and vacuumed....give her a certificate for a massage...things aren%26#039;t always the best gift...sometimes an offer for services is appreciated much more...
Reply:get a really cool cake , like a really nice one from a proper place with lovelry twirly icing and her name on
Reply:Balloons are special. How about making arrangements for her to get her hair done or get a pedicure. Even if she has never had one she would like it trust me. How about getting her that books she won%26#039;t splurge on but wants to read and throw in some special coffee or tea to enjoy along with the book How far do you live from her? If you are pretty close show up at her job and take her our to lunch or take a cake for her to share at work. How about a ten min. office massage. We use to get those at my office and wow were they nice. What is your price limit. A singing messenger is fun. Most important show all her co-workers how much you love her. They will remember it as will your mom forever.......Tell her happy 51 and good luck to you. We wall want children like you......

Is this too much to ask?
wtf!all i want is a man who will:
be honest, faithful, hold the door for me, make good money, rock my world in the bed, cut the grass, wait while i shop, send me flowers, give me foot massages, take me to dinner every weekend, be happy to see me not have to work, take me on cruises %26amp; vacations to including but limited to: barbados, tahiti, jamaica, italy, france, germany, swiss alps, spain, south africa, bermuda, florida keys %26amp; bahamas, be into home improvement %26amp; build me my own wing of a house including a full gym incl: stairmaster, elliptical, treadmill, stationary bike, mirrored wall, ballet bar, mounted tv w/ dvd, free weights w/ rack, seperate bedroom w/ four-poster bed %26amp; large bath w/ vintage claw-foot bath, huge gold-leaf mirror, custom fixtures, chandelier, sauna, sep. massage rm w/ table (and pay an on-call masseuse anytime i want one), arrange surprise deliveries to me of: lingerie, designer clothing/bags, roses, imported chocolates %26amp; champagne, chauffered car to bring me
Is this too much to ask?
Girl,
Here is what I can do:
i can do all the first portion except for the trips, and thats only because I am in college. Once I get my bachelors, I%26#039;ll have it made! YAY! I can probobly build you a house, though don%26#039;t expect me to do the yard work too often, as I don%26#039;t want to get my suite dirty when i get home from my high profile business meetings.
Also, I enjoy working out and will actually have a bad a$$ gym set at the house and will use it frequently, so I can only imagine the amount of competition that will arise as a result... can u handle it?
I enjoy the classy elegance of a chrome, gold leaf, and and I etch my own engraving designs so my house will look top notch.
I will definately watch you try out all the clothes you want, but the only thing is - you%26#039;re paying for them, however, I will pay if you don%26#039;t make me go with you... unless its provocative, lol.
AND No I will never fold, no matter how nice you look or how sweet the deal is, and hire a NANNY! My kids are mine and thats it... I love flowers so expect them often and jewlery as a way to say I love you.... But thats it. other than that, good luck with your choices, as we number in the few.
Reply:But what are you willing to give in return?
No offense, my material-possession girl, but I don;t see where he has to %26quot;love%26quot; you.
He may do all of these things to show something, but isn%26#039;t it important that he loves you?
Reply:OMG!!!!!!!! Yes, too much and keep aiming for it anyway!! If You arrive at the point where You have at least half of any of it, You will be grand!!!

Loyalty

Hard worker
Devoted
Wonderful
God Fearing
Morals
Great Family
Lover not a fighter
Protective
My husband needs some help in the protective area, for he is used to me speaking up for my self!!
SO I say that is how you are gonna find some one to your needs, but, what are you going to offer??
I just see what you needed, what is this man getting??
That is your real question!!
Reply:LOL! It sounds like you want to be more of a mistress than a partner.
And what are you offering in return? Will you go to hockey games? Help guide the wood through the bandsaw? Rock his world in bed? Hold the flashlight in your left hand and the big wrench in your right, totally steadily, so he can get the gasket loose on the drain under the sink to fix the leak? Prepare 9 course Chinese banquets? Clean up the mess when he gets the stomach flu?
It sounds like you want a robot not a human man, which is too bad, because real men are a lot of fun, even if they aren%26#039;t our abject slaves.

Consumer rights for nondelivery of services or goods?
I recently got married and put down a 50% deposit with a flower preservation company to preserve my bridal bouquet. I mailed my bouquet overnight to the company as agreed, and they acknowledged receipt. They also promised a delivery date in September, then told me in October that it would be ready by the end of the month. It%26#039;s now November, and the company is ignoring my attempts to contact them for an update on my order status. I reported the company to the Better Business Bureau, and I%26#039;m wondering if anyone knows what else I can do to either 1) receive my preserved bouquet as promised or 2) get a full refund and be compensated for the bouquet (which cost over $200 itself)?
I appreciate any advice you might have, as I am not sure where to go from here. Thanks so much!!
Consumer rights for nondelivery of services or goods?
The Better Business Bureau is a joke.
The only reason they exist is because BUSINESSES give them money to exist, while they pretend to %26quot;advocate consumers rights%26quot;. I%26#039;ve NEVER met anybody who had a positive resolution from the BBB.
You might try www.badbusinessbureau.com which allows you to report companies publicly, which might bring them to their senses.
Finally, I%26#039;d take them to court, for what you think it is worth and what the boquet%26#039;s actual worth is. 15 bucks gets you a small claims court summons.
If they don%26#039;t show, you%26#039;ll probably get whatever damages you ask for.

Hello everyone; I need some advice on where to retire....someplace warm so that I can garden all year long...
I live in northern montana. I work for a major delivery company, and I am out in the nasty cold weather 9 months out of the year. If it isn%26#039;t cold the wind is blowing. Winds sustaining 30+ mph for days on end.
I want to go someplace where I can flower garden and mow my lawn all year round.
Any suggestions?

My friend has a Flower Designs co. is looking to upgrade its computer system (an older model PC) to help keep up with the growing demand of their customers. They would like to house their client information and order histories on their new system, as well as bill their customers electronically. They also want to have a way to keep track of customer addresses and specific delivery instructions while she is on the road

Buying a moderately priced PC should be fine. I think what you%26#039;re looking for is something like a program. I would suggets Quickbooks. Its easy to use, and accurate. Most small businesses also use this as their business software.

Is it OK to have mothers day flowers delivered on Saturday?
I want to get my girlfriend%26#039;s mother flowers for mothers day, and I was just wondering if it is poor ettiquette to have them delivered the Saturday before. I know they have big plans all day on Sunday so I wanted to be sure she got them on time, and also web site florists say they can%26#039;t guarantee delivery on that date.
Is it OK to have mothers day flowers delivered on Saturday?
Most Mother%26#039;s Day flowers are delivered the Friday or Saturday before. Mom won%26#039;t care- she will be very happy to be remembered. Follow up with a phone call or visit on Sunday.
Reply:From what I have heard, most flowers will be delivered on Saturday, anyway. At least, that is custom here in FL.
I think it is a beautiful idea of yours, to think of your girl-friends mother! And my bet is, she want even waste a thought about, that it is one day early.
However, if you happen to see her in person on Mother%26#039;s Day, do give the flowers to her in person.
Reply:It is absoltuely okay to have flowers delivered the Saturday before. Flowers for Mother%26#039;s Day, even Valentines Day are delivered quite a few days early prior to the actual day. The fact you recognize the day is thoughtful, not the day it comes.
Reply:Yes, of course! Save on the shipping charges, and there are many delivery services that don%26#039;t deliver anything on Sundays - I%26#039;m having my mom%26#039;s stuff delivered today!
Reply:Absolutely not.
Etiquette doesn%26#039;t work that way.
All gifts are unexpected.
An early gift is always a welcome surprise.
Reply:Flowers or gifts can be delivered anytime up to the actual celebration just not after.
Reply:It%26#039;s fine. Most florists don%26#039;t deliver on Sunday anyway
Reply:no problem at all. as you said you wanted to make sure she got them. your gf%26#039;s mother will appreciate the gesture.
Reply:Sure, she can enjoy them for an extra day on the weekend.
Reply:yep...better than monday.
Reply:got mine today

Who has received a Valentine's Day delivery already?
I just got my flowers, teddy bear, and balloons at work from my husband! This is our 5th Valentine%26#039;s Day together and it%26#039;s the first time he%26#039;s actually SENT me something, so it was a very big suprise!
Anyone else gotten a delivery yet?
Happy Valentines Day to all! I hope everyone has a great one!
Who has received a Valentine%26#039;s Day delivery already?
me....gorgeous roses hand delivered by hubby
dinner last night too....we met on 2-13-04
Reply:Seemed almost all the girls at work got their%26#039;s yesterday, which I thought was a bit strange, but it was a nice surprise, and that way they had the flowers longer to look at (we are closed on the weekends and early on Fridays). So far I haven%26#039;t got anything! :( . . .Although every year my boyfriend gets SOMETHING delivered, so I guess I%26#039;d be surprised otherwise.

Dried Hibiscus please..anyone know of a local stockist !!?
Does anyone know where i can buy some dried Hibiscus flower ( tea/drink making type) from local to me please (worksop/nottinghamshire) not the rosehip etc blended teabags available in chemists health -stores- the real stuff like i had on holiday in egypt recently..have some awaiting delivery i bought over the internet..but with the mail strike i.m still waiting delivery after a fornight from being despatched..(yes it was a reputable supplier so the problems not there!!)
any leads would be appreciated - .willing to travel within reasonble distance
Dried Hibiscus please..anyone know of a local stockist !!?
If from your references your in the UK as a former chef and frequent visitor the country, try your local West Indian or Jamaican store, and as for sorrel flowers, it is a form of hybicus from the islands.
Also any store with a Polynesian stock of products, even a local health or nutritional foods shop, at the West Indian/Jamaican store there generally sold in bags, a around 10-30 grams they look like red tea bags all dried out, I use one in a cup of hot water with a dash of lemon and honey for sweetener, you can also add them to a pot of regular teas for flavour and colour.
Here in Canada I get them very inexpensively at my local Jamaican shop, so you may have do some searching check the local directory for the place in you area, but you may need to make a trip out of town to a larger city like London, Manchester, Birmingham or Liverpool.
Reply:The only thing i would suggest to try a chinese herbalist.(search in yellow pages) I know they blend their own teas, so they may just have Hibiscus.

Anyone Use ProFlowers?
I did and it was a joke! Flowers were supposed to be delivered on Thursday and didn%26#039;t arrive till Monday. To top it off, they were completely dead. I called on Friday and got my money back. They tried to tell me I could only have a partial credit. I told them that the flowers would be 100% dead when they would arrive, if they ever would arrive. So they gave me all my money back.
They shipped using FedEx and were scheduled for Thursday. When they didn%26#039;t arrive, I called on Friday morning. I was told that the truck had too many deliveries and they couldn%26#039;t get to mine, but since they were left over from the previous day they would be the first to be delivered. Wrong! they didn%26#039;t come till Monday and of course they were completely dead.
I%26#039;ll never use ProFlowers again. I%26#039;ll call a local florist or 1800flowers.com
Yahoo; Are you going to delete this post too?
Anyone Use ProFlowers?
I did and I never will again. Mine were frozen and went bad.
Reply:sorry nto sure
Reply:I dont think it was pro flowers fault though- I have had delays with fedex. They should not accept shipment if they cannot deliver as promised. I have had good flowers delivered with pro flowers although the person who orders always does it early so there is no rush-so I guess that is the secret?
Reply:I%26#039;ve never used them, but definitely won%26#039;t now!! I%26#039;m sorry that you had such a terrible experience, but you%26#039;re lucky they gave you your money back. I hope it didn%26#039;t ruin your day!!
Reply:I bought from them for Mother%26#039;s Day and got 2 dozen roses for my mom. She got them on Friday (I had chosen them to be delivered either Thursday or Friday) and they arrived beautifully. My mom said they died by Sunday or Monday. She called ProFlowers and they said that they would replace them and they did - with flowers that actually lived.
Part of the problem for you was FedEx. They are absolutely horrible becuse we%26#039;ve used them for mailing stuff and they always are delayed - claiming it is out of their control. One time made sense - it was when that tropical storm was in Florida, but this most recent time makes no sense. FedEx is who you should be more upset with.
Reply:We had a awkward experience but I think it had more to do with the delivery guy. It was for Mother%26#039;s Day and he left them at the wrong house and left them on the uncovered porch (of the wrong house) in pouring rain. We called them and they said the flowers had been delivered and wouldn%26#039;t refund since they had been signed for. A few days later the person returned home from vacation, recognized the name, and brought them to our mom. They were african violets so totally dead. We called them again and they were really good about it and sent her a brand new batch the next day and refunded part of our money.
Reply:I think local flowers are better. I have worked in a nursing home, and some people long distance sent their mother pro flowers, and some called the florists here. The florists here had prettier flowers and arrangements.
Reply:I agree, worst flower company ever. Roses looked horrible upon arrival and they died in two days. I get better flowers for cheaper from the local grocery store!!!

Girl,
Here is what I can do:
i can do all the first portion except for the trips, and thats only because I am in college. Once I get my bachelors, I%26#039;ll have it made! YAY! I can probobly build you a house, though don%26#039;t expect me to do the yard work too often, as I don%26#039;t want to get my suite dirty when i get home from my high profile business meetings.
Also, I enjoy working out and will actually have a bad a$$ gym set at the house and will use it frequently, so I can only imagine the amount of competition that will arise as a result... can u handle it?
I enjoy the classy elegance of a chrome, gold leaf, and and I etch my own engraving designs so my house will look top notch.
I will definately watch you try out all the clothes you want, but the only thing is - you%26#039;re paying for them, however, I will pay if you don%26#039;t make me go with you... unless its provocative, lol.
AND No I will never fold, no matter how nice you look or how sweet the deal is, and hire a NANNY! My kids are mine and thats it... I love flowers so expect them often and jewlery as a way to say I love you.... But thats it. other than that, good luck with your choices, as we number in the few.

Elvis alive?
The only time I feel alive... is when I%26#039;m in front of my audience, my people. That%26#039;s the only time I really feel like I%26#039;m human.%26quot;
%26quot;Long after I%26#039;m gone, what I did today will be heard by someone. I just want them to get the best of what I had.%26quot; (Elvis Presley)
Is Elvis Alive ?
There are many reasons to believe that Elvis Presley is dead. When the only arguments to believe otherwise come from crazed fans and supermarket tabloids, it is easy to dismiss the possibility that Elvis is still among us. However, the circumstances surrounding Elvis%26#039; alleged death are quite mysterious and beg closer attention. As it turns out, there are many concrete reasons to believe that Elvis is still alive.
The Gravesite.
Elvis%26#039; name is misspelled on his headstone. Elvis%26#039; full name is Elvis Aron Presley, but on his grave his middle name is spelled incorrectly with two a%26#039;s. His father would not have let this happen. When Elvis was born, his name was misspelled on his birth certificate, and his father went to great lengths to get it put right. The unique spelling of Elvis%26#039; name was important to his family.
Elvis%26#039; current %26quot;resting place%26quot; is in between his father and his grandmother and not next to his mother where he had adamantly requested. It is doubtful that the people close to him would allow these things to happen. Elvis is a superstitious man, enough so that he wouldn%26#039;t tempt fate by putting his real name on a tombstone, or violate the ground next to his mother until he was ready to be placed there for good.
Death Certificate.
Elvis was very vain, and he was embarrassed about his recent weight gain, an astonishing 50 pounds in the month before his so-called death. Even though he weighed about 250 pounds at the time of his %26quot;death,%26quot; his death certificate lists him at a spry 170 pounds. The original death certificate disappeared, and the current death certificate is dated two months after his alleged death.
The Wax Body Theory.
This argument is very convincing when the facts are considered. Elvis%26#039; coffin required several pall bearers because it weighed 900 pounds. Attendants of the funeral reported that the air around the coffin was rather cool. It is suspected that the coffin contained an air conditioning unit to keep a wax body cool, a wax body that was a replica of Elvis designed to fool funeral-goers. And how did the Presley family get a 900 pound, custom made coffin ready for a funeral that was held on the day after his death? It takes a lot of time to build such an elaborate coffin.
And why was the funeral so quickly? Some say that the immediacy was intended to make it as difficult as possible for the people who were Elvis%26#039; biggest fans to attend the proceedings. It could be a concern that they might recognize the flaws in the wax replica.
Elvis was an 8th degree black belt whose hands were rough with calluses, yet the body in the coffin had hands that were soft and pudgy. The body in the coffin had a pug nose and arched eyebrows {unlike Elvis} and most importantly, one of the sideburns on the %26quot;corpse%26quot; was loose and falling off. A hairdresser later reported gluing the sideburn back on the body.
Unusual Behavior.
Two hours after Elvis%26#039; death was announced publicly, a man who reportedly looked remarkably like Elvis purchased a ticket for Buenos Aeries, paid in cash, and used the name John Burrows: the same name Elvis had used as an alias several times before.
Elvis had a few books that were considered to be his most prized possessions. He had a bible, several pharmaceutical books, books on death, and most importantly Chiro%26#039;s Book of Numbers and The Autobiography of Yogi which I will explain more about later. After Elvis%26#039;s death was announced, these books disappeared and were never recovered.
In the weeks preceding his alleged death, Elvis%26#039; actions were not those of a man who was about to embark on an extensive US tour. He ordered no new suits despite having gained 50 pounds since his last tour, and he bid %26quot;adios%26quot; at his last show in Hawaii. He had never done this before. Adios, like the French adieu, has the significance of being a final good-bye as opposed to an %26quot;I%26#039;ll be seeing you on my next tour%26quot; kind of good-bye.
Others were intrigued by Elvis%26#039; decision to sign a lucrative TV deal with NBC that would cover the tour. It was unprecedented for a network to pay such a large amount up front, in cash, for such a deal. Many wonder why Elvis even agreed to the deal since his vanity discouraged him from making public appearances due to his weight gain.
RCA showed uncanny and unbelievable foresight by mass producing millions of Elvis%26#039; current and previous recordings and merchandise. This is standard practice for an act that is about to go on tour, but the numbers in this case were beyond reasonable expectations. The announcement of Elvis%26#039; death caused record sales to skyrocket.
Elvis did other unusual things that created suspicion. First, he fired several employees that he had relied upon for a long time. Also, two days before his alleged death, Elvis telephoned a friend of his named Miss Foster. He told her that he wasn%26#039;t planning on going on the upcoming tour. She asked him if he had canceled it, and he said that he had not. When she asked if he was ill, he said that he was fine, and that she should not ask any more questions or tell anyone anything, and that she should not believe anything she read. He told her that his troubles would all soon be over, and that he would call her in a few weeks. The author of Elvis Where Are You? writes that Miss Foster took a polygraph test regarding this story, and that she was not lying.
The day after Elvis%26#039; alleged death, a woman named Lucy De Barbon, a former lover of Elvis, received a single rose in the mail. The card indicated that the flower was from %26quot;El Lancelot.%26quot; This had been her pet name for Elvis, and it was a name that no one else knew. Flowers can%26#039;t be sent from beyond the grave. This was Elvis%26#039; way of letting her know that he was not dead, even though he didn%26#039;t want to be found.
Chiro%26#039;s Book of Numbers.
Elvis had a fascination with numerology, an interest he fed by reading Chiro%26#039;s Book of Numbers. The theory that Elvis orchestrated his death is further supported when considering the significance of the date of his alleged death. The date in question is August 16, 1977. By adding the numbers in the date, 8, 16, and 1977, you get 2001. This is the title of Elvis%26#039; favorite movie in which the hero plans his immortality in the bathroom. Elvis spent a considerable amount of time doing the same: planning his afterlife on the toilet.. Elvis spent so much time in the bathroom that he had his toilet converted into a reclining comfy chair. Coincidentally, the bathroom is also where Elvis%26#039; body was reportedly found.
Given Elvis%26#039; religious beliefs, he had a fascination with things that come in threes, for example, father, son, and holy ghost. The sum of the digits from his favorite film (2+0+0+1) is three. Let%26#039;s consider the triad of the repetition of the number 24. 2001 (favorite film) less 1977 (year of death) is 24. The two numbers from the day of death (8/16) when added up equal 24. The sum of the digits in the year of death (1+9+7+7) also equals 24. That is 3 occurrences of the number 24 which is divisible by 3, and when divided by three the result, 8 has a perfect cubed root (2x2x2=8).
Elvis loved numerology, and when you consider the numeric significance of the date of his alleged death, it is clear that if indeed he did plan to fake his death, he could not have chosen a better date.
Reason
Elvis had many reasons to fake his death.It has been said that Elvis%26#039; life was in danger. He had recently lost $10,000,000 in an airplane/real estate deal with a California based organization called the %26quot;Fraternity%26quot; that had links to the Mafia. It is speculated that he corroborated with the government to expose the organized crime ring in exchange for protection, perhaps in the form of a new life and identity compliments of the Witness Protection Program.
Elvis was a prisoner of his own fame. He had many other reasons to leave his life behind. Because of his incredible popularity he recieved several death threats, and he was concerned about the safety of his ex-wife and daughter. Sometimes when he wanted to leave Graceland he would send look-alikes out to distract would be followers. Elvis was also known to ride in the trunk of someone else%26#039;s car to avoid being seen. Once, when he fell ill in Las Vegas, he couldn%26#039;t get proper medical attention because the hospital was overwhelmed by fans.
At the time of his alleged death, Elvis thought he was nearing the end of his career. He saw his self as 42 with greying hair, overweight, and he thought his voice was starting to weaken,. He was going down hill, and he was too proud to go out with a whimper. He would never want his fans to see him in such an unhealthy condition.
Elvis had shown a fascination with death on several occasions. In the days leading up to his alleged death he was reported to have visited funeral homes at odd hours of the night with close friends. Was he doing research? Elvis once faked his death by setting up an elaborate shooting in which a would be killer fired blanks at Elvis who had a blood pack which he discharged. It was Elvis%26#039; intention to see how the people closest to him would react to his death. Perhaps what he learned convinced him to do it for real.
Finally, one of Elvis%26#039; favorite books is the spiritual Autobiography of Yogi. One of the central themes of this book is the relinquishing of one%26#039;s wealth and earthly possessions to achieve spiritual oneness. Elvis could do this, as well as address his other concerns of sanity and safety by faking his death and living in exile.
Means.
Elvis had the means to fake his own death. He is accused of destroying himself with drugs. In reality, Elvis was a pharmaceutical expert. He took a lot of drugs, but he knew what he was doing and was extremely careful. He knew what drugs he could self-administer to create a deathlike state. Also Elvis%26#039; experience with the martial arts was such that he could slow his heart rate and breathing in order to feign death.
Elvis%26#039; manager, Colonel Tom Parker, had once created a new identity for himself. He came to America as an illegal immigrant from Holland, but through various connections managed to create a new identity complete with a passport, birth certificate, drivers license, and social security number. He would have known how to give Elvis a second life.
Aswell as Elvis%26#039; ties to the government through his testimony against the %26quot;Fraternity%26quot;, Elvis was known to interact with the President of the United States. He was reported in government documents to use the name John Burrows as an alias when he wanted to travel. Some people believe that Elvis worked for the government as a drug agent. He did, after all have extensive contact with many people in the music business who, as we know, tend to dabble in illegal substances. And, of course, we must allow that Elvis%26#039; connections to the government gave him access to the Witness Protection Program. If they can turn the Simpsons into the Thompsons, they can relocate anybody.
Orion?
Many believe that Elvis couldn%26#039;t have given up performing completely. Just imagine, after a while the desire to perform would grow once he started his life in exile. The story of Orion supports the theory that Elvis attempted a secret comeback.
Shortly after Elvis%26#039; alleged death, a masked singer by the name of Orion emerged on the scene. He was big like Elvis, and he sang just like Elvis. Because of the mask no one could tell his true identity. One fan described seeing Orion from near the stage. She claims that Orion left the stage between songs, and when he appeared moments later the sweat was gone from his armpits and back and she thought that his costume looked slightly different. After the song he left the stage, and the original Orion returned.
Another fan described how she rushed into a tour bus at an Orion show only to see two Orions in the back of the bus. She claimed that one ducked into the bathroom before she could get a good look at him, but he appeared to look like Elvis Presley.
What%26#039;s even more remarkable is the fictional story called Orion that was written by Gail Brewer-Georgio about a legendary performer who had several identities and wanted to fake his death. The story was written and submitted to the William Morris Agency for publication consideration after Elvis%26#039; alleged death and before the real Orion ever performed. As it turns out, there are many ways in which the real Orion mimicked the events as described in the book. For example, the performers%26#039; managers had the same name. Also, without knowing it, Brewer-Georgio wrote of events in Orion that had actually taken place in Elvis%26#039; life. It was a case of life imitating art.
Picking up the Pieces.
In 1981, 20/20 did an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the alleged death of Elvis Presley. The investigative report was very convincing. Oddly enough, within two weeks of the report, the singer, Orion, disappeared and was never heard from again. The book, Orion disappeared from shelves across the country. It had been recalled by the publisher which was associated with the William Morris Agency. Incidentally, the William Morris Agency is the same agency that represented Elvis.
It seems that Elvis Presley is worth more dead than alive. By faking his death and relocating with a new identity he is safe from his fans and the %26quot;Fraternity%26quot;, the government can make a solid case against the organized crime ring, and RCA, Elvis%26#039; family, and Elvis%26#039; management can all reap immense financial benefits from the attention. That is... except for one benefit....after nearly 25 years no one has collected on his life insurance policy.
Why ?????
During his last concert tour in 1977, Elvis spoke of %26quot;not looking good tonight%26quot;, but, he would look good in his coffin. He made comments of being tired of living as he was and how it was going to change. He told of how he would like to be just himself instead of an %26quot;image%26quot;.
On August 16th 1977, at 8:00 A.M., Elvis told Ginger Alden that he was going into the bathroom to read. (This bathroom/lounge had it%26#039;s own back entrance.) For the next six hours no one saw him. Elvis signed for a special delivery letter at 9:30 A.M. At 2:00 P.M. Ginger Alden found the apparent body of Elvis lying on the floor in front of his chair, where he had been reading. She called Al Strada who in turn called Joe Esposito. George Nichopoulous (aka Dr. Nick) was then telephoned. Joe called the fire department, unit 6. The ambulance arrived at Graceland at 2:33 P.M. Paramedics administered CPR, despite rigor mortis. The body was taken to Baptist Memorial Hospital at 2:48 P.M. By 3:00 P.M. Elvis%26#039; family members and friends were informed of his %26quot;death%26quot;. Public announcement was given at 3:30 P.M.
August 17th, the body was brought back to Graceland for family viewing. The public viewing was from 3:00 P.M. to 6:30 P.M. On August 18th,1977. Tennesse Governor Ray Blanton ordered flags to be flown at half-mast for the duration of the funeral procession. At midday the Graceland gates swung open, a white Cadillac hurse rolled through them, followed by sixteen white Cadillac limousines.
QUESTIONS BEGIN
How could it take twenty minutes for paramedics to drive sixteen blocks to Graceland if the call came in at 2:33 P.M.? The Medical Examiner%26#039;s Report states that the body was found with rigor mortis, while the police report states %26quot;unconcious%26quot;. Why would anyone try to give CPR to a rigor mortised body ? The ME report listed the body as weighing 80 pounds lighter then Elvis%26#039; actual weight. How could Elvis have passed a physical exam just prior to August 16th if his heart was so enlarged ? How could he have played raquetball for several hours on August 16th, just before his %26quot;death%26quot; ?
ABC%26#039;s 1979 program on the cover up of Elvis%26#039; death stated that all the stomach contents were destroyed. Bill Burkin in his book Elvis World states that officials at Babtist Memorial Hospital had assured him that the stomach contents had been shipped to a California lab to be examined and then on to a lab in Utah, and then ? There are rumors of Elvis%26#039; %26quot;death%26quot; being caused by a heart attack, drug overdose, suffocation in carpeting, suicide and even cancer ! Persons in attendance at Graceland at the time of %26quot;death%26quot; don%26#039;t agree on the color of pajamas Elvis was wearing or the posistion of the body.
Why did Vernon ask many people NOT to attend the funeral but to come a week later ? Why did Vernon refuse to accept the flag which is usually given to dead war veterans ? Why didn%26#039;t Elvis have any new jumpsuits made during 1977 ? The handwriting on the death certificate matched Elvis%26#039; own writing !
Elvis was very aware of which presribed drugs did not mix well with others. Elvis had glaucoma, and Dexedrine, a drug not to be taken with that condition, was listed as being in his system. Who would prescribe it and why would he take it ? Whose body was autopsied ? Funeral homes don%26#039;t usually keep solid copper coffins in stock. These coffins weigh in the area of 300 pounds and usually take two months to receive once ordered. This coffin seemed to have been ready.
Monte Nicholson, a nineteen year veteran of the Los Angeles Sheriffs Department, wrote a novel called The Presley Arrangement. This novel tells the story of a body that is autopsied, a man resembling Elvis. The man had died of cancer. The body is later returned for private burial, to the man%26#039;s own family. The man%26#039;s family are paid to remain silent about the incident. Nicholson explains a government connection. In a 1989 radio interview Nicholson said that even if he knew there was an FBI connection and was told not to say anything, he COULD NOT say. Nicholson also claimed that if he knew the answer to the question, and says he does, he will not disclose his knowledge. He said that if Elvis is alive that his book is pretty close to the truth of what REALLY happened.
Was Elvis a DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) agent ? Elvis can be seen wearing a DEA Staff jacket in several photographs, including one taken in June of 1977, approximately six weeks before his %26quot;death%26quot;. Also Elvis was wearing a jogging suit with the DEA logo on it during the early morning hours of August 16th 1977.
When Elvis met with President Richard Nixon he said he had been %26quot;studying%26quot; the drug culture for over 10 years, he could get into any culture group and be accepted. Elvis said he had gotten alot from the country and he wanted to repay in some way. It would have been a dangerous job and one that an entertainer such as Elvis would not have HAD to do unless he chose to. Many DEA agents pose as %26quot;drug users%26quot; and %26quot;pushers%26quot; in their undercover work. Elvis could get to anyone if he appeared to be a %26quot;user%26quot;. In the book Elvis: What Happened? one of the guys wondered if Elvis was ever as whacked out as he seemed to be. Maybe he is a %26quot;great%26quot; actor after all. Perhaps he deserves an %26quot;Oscar%26quot;.
Death threats were issued against Elvis and his family. Those who had leveled those threats had actually broken into Graceland. At times, the FBI were called. Deputy Narcotics Director John Finlator arranged for Elvis to come to his office under the name of John Burrows. Finlator didn%26#039;t want to give Elvis a badge but the President reversed the decision.
On December 21st of 1970, Elvis met with President Richard Nixon in the oval office, Washington, D.C. Elvis had written a letter requesting a meeting and expressed his concerns about the drug culture, hippie elements, the SDS and other groups who were against the establishment. When Finlator finally gave Elvis the badge and promised to issue him consultant credentials, Elvis was overcome with emotion and his eyes became misty. Ten days later he met with the FBI. On the same day, President Nixon wrote Elvis a thank you. Elvis wrote to the President and said, %26quot;I can and will do more good, if I were made a Federal Agent at large, and I will help out by doing it my way.%26quot;
Elvis was known to be in his bedroom for weeks, seeing no one. (There was a back staircase at Graceland.) Elvis could sneak out whenever he needed to.
Department of the Treasury-Bob Pritchett says that during the years of %26#039;74, %26#039;75, and %26#039;76 %26quot;Mr. Presley provided one of our undercover agents, who was a musician, a job cover. Undercover agents appear to have other occupations. None of Elvis%26#039; group of friends knew of this agent and the role he played in setting up his cover. Since he had an undercover agent in his group from %26#039;74-%26#039;76, when did he find time to use drugs himself? Elvis was very good at keeping secrets and living a %26quot;double life%26quot;.
Elvis spoke with President Carter two weeks before his death. It involved aid to a friend. On August 16, 1977, President Carter issued this tribute:
%26quot;Elvis Presley%26#039;s death deprives our country of a part of itself. He was unique and irreplaceable. More than twenty years ago he burst upon the scene with an impact that was unprecedented and will probably never be equaled. His music and his personality, fusing the styles of white country and black rhythm and blues, permanently changed the face of American popular culture. His following was immense and he was a symbol of good humor of his country.%26quot;
This was a formal statement, when a celebrity%26#039;s death is usually only commented on. He had spoken to Nixon and Carter both shortly before the day he died.
In the September 1988 issue of American Karate magazine, Ed Parker tells of a time when a terrorist group threatened Elvis%26#039; life to make him an example of how they could get to famous people. They threatened to plant a bomb in one of the gifts offered to Elvis at a concert. This was a threat as long as he was %26quot;alive%26quot;, and his family were targets also.
Elvis always had law enforcement officials around him. John O%26#039;Grady, who was earlier in charge of NARC Divisions of the LAPD, was one of them. He also hired Dick Grob, a former sargeant with the Palm Springs Police. He was surrounded by at least two lawmen in top security positions. Elvis was in danger. The %26quot;hoax%26quot; may have been the only way out! History will prove Elvis to be an American hero beyond being an American entertainer.
SIGHTINGS
With all the Elvis lookalikes, he could actually walk around using disguises and get away with it. Who would be looking for him anyway, when he is supposedly dead? Before 1977, there was an %26quot;Elvis lookalike, sound alike%26quot; at a Memphis theatre. Elvis put on his best %26quot;Elvis outfit%26quot;, strolled in and mingled with the clones, doing his best %26quot;Hey, baby%26quot;. Afterwards, he came back to Graceland laughing. He tried out and lost!
Elvis and his mother%26#039;s bodies were moved to the Meditation Gardens for burial, after three men tried to break into the crypt. Graceland was rezoned to permit burials at the estate. In the 1989 Orion%26#039;s %26quot;Farewell to the King%26quot;, the King says %26quot;I died once. I had to be willing to give up everything, even the will to live.%26quot; The last recording session at Graceland was The Last Farewell.
There have been many sightings at various places including Graceland. There are some escape routes at Graceland that people don%26#039;t know about.
In a syndicated newspaper across the nation on June 5, 1990, an article headlined %26quot;Elvis Lives, At Least On Census Form.%26quot; The Census Bureau reported in 1990 that Elvis returned a questionaire to the bureau office in Huntsville, Alabama. It was noticed by census workers who were screening forms for completednesss.
Late Night with Ross Shafer (August 1988) had a survey that showed that out of 30,000 people polled, approximately 84% believe Elvis is alive.
On Monday, August 22, 1988, Harold Schuitmaker, in an item of the Detroit News, said %26quot;Elvis is Alive and Living in Kalamazoo.%26quot; Schuitmaker was a well known Michigan politician and resident of Paw Paw (15 miles from Kalamazoo).
The masked singer Orion was at the McMinnville Civic Center and a fan said that she felt that the man onstage and the one who signed autographs were different people. People have reported that someone sounding like Elvis called them on the phone and some hung up because they couldn%26#039;t believe it.
A book titled Elvis: Where Are You? came out of Wilton Manors, Florida around August, 1982 under the name of Al Jefferies. The premise of the book was that Elvis hoaxed his death. Kelly Burgess, a former assistant editor and feature writer with the Detroit News, claimed to have seen Elvis in Kalamazoo, Michigan. She is not living now.
In 1988, Heartbreak Hotel starred David Keith as Elvis. (The film had the support of EP Enterprises.) A soundtrack album thanked Jerry Schilling and a special thanks to J.B.
In 1987%26#039;s Robo Cop, a cop is killed, but didn%26#039;t die. He returns as Robo Cop-a superman hero. It was filmed in Michigan. During that time radio stations got calls from a man sounding like Elvis Presley. There have been lots of sightings there and it was also on his final concert tour. Is this possibly a %26quot;message%26quot; film?
March 18, 1990, an article on Robo Cop, in the Detroit News told of Robo Cop speaking to a Boys and Girls club against drugs. It was a three month long anti-drug campaign organized by the FBI, Orion Home Video of New York, and the Boys Club of America. This Robo Cop was not the same actor as in the movie-his true identity was not revealed. he was a special agent helping the FBI fight the war on drugs. His suit was bullet-proof. During filming, some people saw a man looking like an older Elvis.
In Mac and Me, a film from 1988, a young alien is lost and at the end the family drives away in an old pink Cadillac convertible. A balloon caption says %26quot;We%26#039;ll be back%26quot;. The sound track is on Curb Records, which is the same label as %26quot;Spelling on the Stone%26quot;. There were some song lyrics which were: %26quot;Tired of being myself, being different from everyone else, somehow you knew I needed your help, be my friend forever. I never found my star in the night; living my dream was far from sight.%26quot; There was a scene in the movie where Eric asks Debbie %26quot;Why didn%26#039;t you tell him that you saw him (the alien)?%26quot; She says, %26quot;Because no one would believe me.%26quot;
Elvis has become a mythic figure, and there have been frequent rumors that he is still alive. Elvis remains the single most influential and respected figure in the history of Rock music. Elvis was the first Rock/Pop singer to have a single record sell a million copies, the first to go platinum with an album in less than two weeks, the first singer to pre-sell a million records before it%26#039;s release, the first entertainer to earn a million dollars for one concert performance, and the first young, white, southern male to bring international attention to the importance of black rhythm and blues. He was the first singer to get a million dollar screen contract. He was the first music personality to have a TV performance broadcast worldwide via satellite.
In 1993, he became the first rock%26#039;n%26#039;roll star whose picture appeared on a commemorative U.S. Postal stamp (the largest stamp printing in history). Elvis is a landmark in almost everyone%26#039;s life, going back to distant memories of watching him above the waist on Ed Sullivan or hearing %26quot;Hound Dog%26quot; for the first time. His image continues to mesmerize: witness the appearance of 200 Elvis impersonators at Liberty Weekend in 1986.
There was a time when he was merely the most popular entertainer in history. He is more than that now. He is a symbol of America as recognizable as the flag. Elvis opened the %26#039;window of his soul%26#039; to his fans all over the world.
Thank you, Elvis! Remember you are always on our minds. %26quot;TCB FOREVER!
Any Comments on this ? E-mail Me
Elvis alive?
Elvis is dead. Autopsy performed. Death certificate issued. A conspiracy of the magnitude described in the article would require the cooperation of an extraordinary number of people. It defies all reasonable logic to state otherwise.
Reply:Of course he%26#039;s dead he died of constapation!!!! (which is an embarrising way to die if you ask me)
Reply:Jeez, he%26#039;s dead already. What would be the purpose of such an involved and grand hoax? It wasn%26#039;t like he needed to cheat insurance companies so his family would be provided for.
Anyway, if you like fantasies, watch %26quot;Bubba Hotep%26quot;. It is an amazing allegory on lives and what might have been with Elvis in the lead, explaining why he%26#039;s not dead. I really love it.
Reply:Yes he is dead.
You just wasted an hour of your life on this question.
I%26#039;m sorry no one told you sooner.
g-day!
Reply:Ya he is dead he had a drug, and drinking problem. One of my teachers went to most of his concerts until those bad things started happening.
Reply:I must say I do like the theories put forward here and I would like to believe hes still alive somewhere but in reality I dont think he is. Look at JFK, Marilyn Monroe and Diana whenever a celebrity who has made a big impact on the world in their lives dies, the conspiracy theorists go mad. Dont get me wrong I love conspiracy theorys cos they make me go %26#039;ooh I wonder%26#039; but so did the Da Vinci Code- I love stories that have those kinda twists and turns but that doesnt mean I believe them.
Conspiracy Theories are good because they are good stories whether they are true or not.
If Elvis is alive then he obviously wants to remain %26#039;dead%26#039; else he wouldve revealed himself. If he is really dead, end of.
Either way he will be sadly missed. Long Live The King
Reply:Of course Elvis is alive. As long as there is one heart ready to believe in him, as long as he brings a smile to one little girl, Elvis is alive!
skin disease
%26quot;Long after I%26#039;m gone, what I did today will be heard by someone. I just want them to get the best of what I had.%26quot; (Elvis Presley)
Is Elvis Alive ?
There are many reasons to believe that Elvis Presley is dead. When the only arguments to believe otherwise come from crazed fans and supermarket tabloids, it is easy to dismiss the possibility that Elvis is still among us. However, the circumstances surrounding Elvis%26#039; alleged death are quite mysterious and beg closer attention. As it turns out, there are many concrete reasons to believe that Elvis is still alive.
The Gravesite.
Elvis%26#039; name is misspelled on his headstone. Elvis%26#039; full name is Elvis Aron Presley, but on his grave his middle name is spelled incorrectly with two a%26#039;s. His father would not have let this happen. When Elvis was born, his name was misspelled on his birth certificate, and his father went to great lengths to get it put right. The unique spelling of Elvis%26#039; name was important to his family.
Elvis%26#039; current %26quot;resting place%26quot; is in between his father and his grandmother and not next to his mother where he had adamantly requested. It is doubtful that the people close to him would allow these things to happen. Elvis is a superstitious man, enough so that he wouldn%26#039;t tempt fate by putting his real name on a tombstone, or violate the ground next to his mother until he was ready to be placed there for good.
Death Certificate.
Elvis was very vain, and he was embarrassed about his recent weight gain, an astonishing 50 pounds in the month before his so-called death. Even though he weighed about 250 pounds at the time of his %26quot;death,%26quot; his death certificate lists him at a spry 170 pounds. The original death certificate disappeared, and the current death certificate is dated two months after his alleged death.
The Wax Body Theory.
This argument is very convincing when the facts are considered. Elvis%26#039; coffin required several pall bearers because it weighed 900 pounds. Attendants of the funeral reported that the air around the coffin was rather cool. It is suspected that the coffin contained an air conditioning unit to keep a wax body cool, a wax body that was a replica of Elvis designed to fool funeral-goers. And how did the Presley family get a 900 pound, custom made coffin ready for a funeral that was held on the day after his death? It takes a lot of time to build such an elaborate coffin.
And why was the funeral so quickly? Some say that the immediacy was intended to make it as difficult as possible for the people who were Elvis%26#039; biggest fans to attend the proceedings. It could be a concern that they might recognize the flaws in the wax replica.
Elvis was an 8th degree black belt whose hands were rough with calluses, yet the body in the coffin had hands that were soft and pudgy. The body in the coffin had a pug nose and arched eyebrows {unlike Elvis} and most importantly, one of the sideburns on the %26quot;corpse%26quot; was loose and falling off. A hairdresser later reported gluing the sideburn back on the body.
Unusual Behavior.
Two hours after Elvis%26#039; death was announced publicly, a man who reportedly looked remarkably like Elvis purchased a ticket for Buenos Aeries, paid in cash, and used the name John Burrows: the same name Elvis had used as an alias several times before.
Elvis had a few books that were considered to be his most prized possessions. He had a bible, several pharmaceutical books, books on death, and most importantly Chiro%26#039;s Book of Numbers and The Autobiography of Yogi which I will explain more about later. After Elvis%26#039;s death was announced, these books disappeared and were never recovered.
In the weeks preceding his alleged death, Elvis%26#039; actions were not those of a man who was about to embark on an extensive US tour. He ordered no new suits despite having gained 50 pounds since his last tour, and he bid %26quot;adios%26quot; at his last show in Hawaii. He had never done this before. Adios, like the French adieu, has the significance of being a final good-bye as opposed to an %26quot;I%26#039;ll be seeing you on my next tour%26quot; kind of good-bye.
Others were intrigued by Elvis%26#039; decision to sign a lucrative TV deal with NBC that would cover the tour. It was unprecedented for a network to pay such a large amount up front, in cash, for such a deal. Many wonder why Elvis even agreed to the deal since his vanity discouraged him from making public appearances due to his weight gain.
RCA showed uncanny and unbelievable foresight by mass producing millions of Elvis%26#039; current and previous recordings and merchandise. This is standard practice for an act that is about to go on tour, but the numbers in this case were beyond reasonable expectations. The announcement of Elvis%26#039; death caused record sales to skyrocket.
Elvis did other unusual things that created suspicion. First, he fired several employees that he had relied upon for a long time. Also, two days before his alleged death, Elvis telephoned a friend of his named Miss Foster. He told her that he wasn%26#039;t planning on going on the upcoming tour. She asked him if he had canceled it, and he said that he had not. When she asked if he was ill, he said that he was fine, and that she should not ask any more questions or tell anyone anything, and that she should not believe anything she read. He told her that his troubles would all soon be over, and that he would call her in a few weeks. The author of Elvis Where Are You? writes that Miss Foster took a polygraph test regarding this story, and that she was not lying.
The day after Elvis%26#039; alleged death, a woman named Lucy De Barbon, a former lover of Elvis, received a single rose in the mail. The card indicated that the flower was from %26quot;El Lancelot.%26quot; This had been her pet name for Elvis, and it was a name that no one else knew. Flowers can%26#039;t be sent from beyond the grave. This was Elvis%26#039; way of letting her know that he was not dead, even though he didn%26#039;t want to be found.
Chiro%26#039;s Book of Numbers.
Elvis had a fascination with numerology, an interest he fed by reading Chiro%26#039;s Book of Numbers. The theory that Elvis orchestrated his death is further supported when considering the significance of the date of his alleged death. The date in question is August 16, 1977. By adding the numbers in the date, 8, 16, and 1977, you get 2001. This is the title of Elvis%26#039; favorite movie in which the hero plans his immortality in the bathroom. Elvis spent a considerable amount of time doing the same: planning his afterlife on the toilet.. Elvis spent so much time in the bathroom that he had his toilet converted into a reclining comfy chair. Coincidentally, the bathroom is also where Elvis%26#039; body was reportedly found.
Given Elvis%26#039; religious beliefs, he had a fascination with things that come in threes, for example, father, son, and holy ghost. The sum of the digits from his favorite film (2+0+0+1) is three. Let%26#039;s consider the triad of the repetition of the number 24. 2001 (favorite film) less 1977 (year of death) is 24. The two numbers from the day of death (8/16) when added up equal 24. The sum of the digits in the year of death (1+9+7+7) also equals 24. That is 3 occurrences of the number 24 which is divisible by 3, and when divided by three the result, 8 has a perfect cubed root (2x2x2=8).
Elvis loved numerology, and when you consider the numeric significance of the date of his alleged death, it is clear that if indeed he did plan to fake his death, he could not have chosen a better date.
Reason
Elvis had many reasons to fake his death.It has been said that Elvis%26#039; life was in danger. He had recently lost $10,000,000 in an airplane/real estate deal with a California based organization called the %26quot;Fraternity%26quot; that had links to the Mafia. It is speculated that he corroborated with the government to expose the organized crime ring in exchange for protection, perhaps in the form of a new life and identity compliments of the Witness Protection Program.
Elvis was a prisoner of his own fame. He had many other reasons to leave his life behind. Because of his incredible popularity he recieved several death threats, and he was concerned about the safety of his ex-wife and daughter. Sometimes when he wanted to leave Graceland he would send look-alikes out to distract would be followers. Elvis was also known to ride in the trunk of someone else%26#039;s car to avoid being seen. Once, when he fell ill in Las Vegas, he couldn%26#039;t get proper medical attention because the hospital was overwhelmed by fans.
At the time of his alleged death, Elvis thought he was nearing the end of his career. He saw his self as 42 with greying hair, overweight, and he thought his voice was starting to weaken,. He was going down hill, and he was too proud to go out with a whimper. He would never want his fans to see him in such an unhealthy condition.
Elvis had shown a fascination with death on several occasions. In the days leading up to his alleged death he was reported to have visited funeral homes at odd hours of the night with close friends. Was he doing research? Elvis once faked his death by setting up an elaborate shooting in which a would be killer fired blanks at Elvis who had a blood pack which he discharged. It was Elvis%26#039; intention to see how the people closest to him would react to his death. Perhaps what he learned convinced him to do it for real.
Finally, one of Elvis%26#039; favorite books is the spiritual Autobiography of Yogi. One of the central themes of this book is the relinquishing of one%26#039;s wealth and earthly possessions to achieve spiritual oneness. Elvis could do this, as well as address his other concerns of sanity and safety by faking his death and living in exile.
Means.
Elvis had the means to fake his own death. He is accused of destroying himself with drugs. In reality, Elvis was a pharmaceutical expert. He took a lot of drugs, but he knew what he was doing and was extremely careful. He knew what drugs he could self-administer to create a deathlike state. Also Elvis%26#039; experience with the martial arts was such that he could slow his heart rate and breathing in order to feign death.
Elvis%26#039; manager, Colonel Tom Parker, had once created a new identity for himself. He came to America as an illegal immigrant from Holland, but through various connections managed to create a new identity complete with a passport, birth certificate, drivers license, and social security number. He would have known how to give Elvis a second life.
Aswell as Elvis%26#039; ties to the government through his testimony against the %26quot;Fraternity%26quot;, Elvis was known to interact with the President of the United States. He was reported in government documents to use the name John Burrows as an alias when he wanted to travel. Some people believe that Elvis worked for the government as a drug agent. He did, after all have extensive contact with many people in the music business who, as we know, tend to dabble in illegal substances. And, of course, we must allow that Elvis%26#039; connections to the government gave him access to the Witness Protection Program. If they can turn the Simpsons into the Thompsons, they can relocate anybody.
Orion?
Many believe that Elvis couldn%26#039;t have given up performing completely. Just imagine, after a while the desire to perform would grow once he started his life in exile. The story of Orion supports the theory that Elvis attempted a secret comeback.
Shortly after Elvis%26#039; alleged death, a masked singer by the name of Orion emerged on the scene. He was big like Elvis, and he sang just like Elvis. Because of the mask no one could tell his true identity. One fan described seeing Orion from near the stage. She claims that Orion left the stage between songs, and when he appeared moments later the sweat was gone from his armpits and back and she thought that his costume looked slightly different. After the song he left the stage, and the original Orion returned.
Another fan described how she rushed into a tour bus at an Orion show only to see two Orions in the back of the bus. She claimed that one ducked into the bathroom before she could get a good look at him, but he appeared to look like Elvis Presley.
What%26#039;s even more remarkable is the fictional story called Orion that was written by Gail Brewer-Georgio about a legendary performer who had several identities and wanted to fake his death. The story was written and submitted to the William Morris Agency for publication consideration after Elvis%26#039; alleged death and before the real Orion ever performed. As it turns out, there are many ways in which the real Orion mimicked the events as described in the book. For example, the performers%26#039; managers had the same name. Also, without knowing it, Brewer-Georgio wrote of events in Orion that had actually taken place in Elvis%26#039; life. It was a case of life imitating art.
Picking up the Pieces.
In 1981, 20/20 did an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the alleged death of Elvis Presley. The investigative report was very convincing. Oddly enough, within two weeks of the report, the singer, Orion, disappeared and was never heard from again. The book, Orion disappeared from shelves across the country. It had been recalled by the publisher which was associated with the William Morris Agency. Incidentally, the William Morris Agency is the same agency that represented Elvis.
It seems that Elvis Presley is worth more dead than alive. By faking his death and relocating with a new identity he is safe from his fans and the %26quot;Fraternity%26quot;, the government can make a solid case against the organized crime ring, and RCA, Elvis%26#039; family, and Elvis%26#039; management can all reap immense financial benefits from the attention. That is... except for one benefit....after nearly 25 years no one has collected on his life insurance policy.
Why ?????
During his last concert tour in 1977, Elvis spoke of %26quot;not looking good tonight%26quot;, but, he would look good in his coffin. He made comments of being tired of living as he was and how it was going to change. He told of how he would like to be just himself instead of an %26quot;image%26quot;.
On August 16th 1977, at 8:00 A.M., Elvis told Ginger Alden that he was going into the bathroom to read. (This bathroom/lounge had it%26#039;s own back entrance.) For the next six hours no one saw him. Elvis signed for a special delivery letter at 9:30 A.M. At 2:00 P.M. Ginger Alden found the apparent body of Elvis lying on the floor in front of his chair, where he had been reading. She called Al Strada who in turn called Joe Esposito. George Nichopoulous (aka Dr. Nick) was then telephoned. Joe called the fire department, unit 6. The ambulance arrived at Graceland at 2:33 P.M. Paramedics administered CPR, despite rigor mortis. The body was taken to Baptist Memorial Hospital at 2:48 P.M. By 3:00 P.M. Elvis%26#039; family members and friends were informed of his %26quot;death%26quot;. Public announcement was given at 3:30 P.M.
August 17th, the body was brought back to Graceland for family viewing. The public viewing was from 3:00 P.M. to 6:30 P.M. On August 18th,1977. Tennesse Governor Ray Blanton ordered flags to be flown at half-mast for the duration of the funeral procession. At midday the Graceland gates swung open, a white Cadillac hurse rolled through them, followed by sixteen white Cadillac limousines.
QUESTIONS BEGIN
How could it take twenty minutes for paramedics to drive sixteen blocks to Graceland if the call came in at 2:33 P.M.? The Medical Examiner%26#039;s Report states that the body was found with rigor mortis, while the police report states %26quot;unconcious%26quot;. Why would anyone try to give CPR to a rigor mortised body ? The ME report listed the body as weighing 80 pounds lighter then Elvis%26#039; actual weight. How could Elvis have passed a physical exam just prior to August 16th if his heart was so enlarged ? How could he have played raquetball for several hours on August 16th, just before his %26quot;death%26quot; ?
ABC%26#039;s 1979 program on the cover up of Elvis%26#039; death stated that all the stomach contents were destroyed. Bill Burkin in his book Elvis World states that officials at Babtist Memorial Hospital had assured him that the stomach contents had been shipped to a California lab to be examined and then on to a lab in Utah, and then ? There are rumors of Elvis%26#039; %26quot;death%26quot; being caused by a heart attack, drug overdose, suffocation in carpeting, suicide and even cancer ! Persons in attendance at Graceland at the time of %26quot;death%26quot; don%26#039;t agree on the color of pajamas Elvis was wearing or the posistion of the body.
Why did Vernon ask many people NOT to attend the funeral but to come a week later ? Why did Vernon refuse to accept the flag which is usually given to dead war veterans ? Why didn%26#039;t Elvis have any new jumpsuits made during 1977 ? The handwriting on the death certificate matched Elvis%26#039; own writing !
Elvis was very aware of which presribed drugs did not mix well with others. Elvis had glaucoma, and Dexedrine, a drug not to be taken with that condition, was listed as being in his system. Who would prescribe it and why would he take it ? Whose body was autopsied ? Funeral homes don%26#039;t usually keep solid copper coffins in stock. These coffins weigh in the area of 300 pounds and usually take two months to receive once ordered. This coffin seemed to have been ready.
Monte Nicholson, a nineteen year veteran of the Los Angeles Sheriffs Department, wrote a novel called The Presley Arrangement. This novel tells the story of a body that is autopsied, a man resembling Elvis. The man had died of cancer. The body is later returned for private burial, to the man%26#039;s own family. The man%26#039;s family are paid to remain silent about the incident. Nicholson explains a government connection. In a 1989 radio interview Nicholson said that even if he knew there was an FBI connection and was told not to say anything, he COULD NOT say. Nicholson also claimed that if he knew the answer to the question, and says he does, he will not disclose his knowledge. He said that if Elvis is alive that his book is pretty close to the truth of what REALLY happened.
Was Elvis a DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) agent ? Elvis can be seen wearing a DEA Staff jacket in several photographs, including one taken in June of 1977, approximately six weeks before his %26quot;death%26quot;. Also Elvis was wearing a jogging suit with the DEA logo on it during the early morning hours of August 16th 1977.
When Elvis met with President Richard Nixon he said he had been %26quot;studying%26quot; the drug culture for over 10 years, he could get into any culture group and be accepted. Elvis said he had gotten alot from the country and he wanted to repay in some way. It would have been a dangerous job and one that an entertainer such as Elvis would not have HAD to do unless he chose to. Many DEA agents pose as %26quot;drug users%26quot; and %26quot;pushers%26quot; in their undercover work. Elvis could get to anyone if he appeared to be a %26quot;user%26quot;. In the book Elvis: What Happened? one of the guys wondered if Elvis was ever as whacked out as he seemed to be. Maybe he is a %26quot;great%26quot; actor after all. Perhaps he deserves an %26quot;Oscar%26quot;.
Death threats were issued against Elvis and his family. Those who had leveled those threats had actually broken into Graceland. At times, the FBI were called. Deputy Narcotics Director John Finlator arranged for Elvis to come to his office under the name of John Burrows. Finlator didn%26#039;t want to give Elvis a badge but the President reversed the decision.
On December 21st of 1970, Elvis met with President Richard Nixon in the oval office, Washington, D.C. Elvis had written a letter requesting a meeting and expressed his concerns about the drug culture, hippie elements, the SDS and other groups who were against the establishment. When Finlator finally gave Elvis the badge and promised to issue him consultant credentials, Elvis was overcome with emotion and his eyes became misty. Ten days later he met with the FBI. On the same day, President Nixon wrote Elvis a thank you. Elvis wrote to the President and said, %26quot;I can and will do more good, if I were made a Federal Agent at large, and I will help out by doing it my way.%26quot;
Elvis was known to be in his bedroom for weeks, seeing no one. (There was a back staircase at Graceland.) Elvis could sneak out whenever he needed to.
Department of the Treasury-Bob Pritchett says that during the years of %26#039;74, %26#039;75, and %26#039;76 %26quot;Mr. Presley provided one of our undercover agents, who was a musician, a job cover. Undercover agents appear to have other occupations. None of Elvis%26#039; group of friends knew of this agent and the role he played in setting up his cover. Since he had an undercover agent in his group from %26#039;74-%26#039;76, when did he find time to use drugs himself? Elvis was very good at keeping secrets and living a %26quot;double life%26quot;.
Elvis spoke with President Carter two weeks before his death. It involved aid to a friend. On August 16, 1977, President Carter issued this tribute:
%26quot;Elvis Presley%26#039;s death deprives our country of a part of itself. He was unique and irreplaceable. More than twenty years ago he burst upon the scene with an impact that was unprecedented and will probably never be equaled. His music and his personality, fusing the styles of white country and black rhythm and blues, permanently changed the face of American popular culture. His following was immense and he was a symbol of good humor of his country.%26quot;
This was a formal statement, when a celebrity%26#039;s death is usually only commented on. He had spoken to Nixon and Carter both shortly before the day he died.
In the September 1988 issue of American Karate magazine, Ed Parker tells of a time when a terrorist group threatened Elvis%26#039; life to make him an example of how they could get to famous people. They threatened to plant a bomb in one of the gifts offered to Elvis at a concert. This was a threat as long as he was %26quot;alive%26quot;, and his family were targets also.
Elvis always had law enforcement officials around him. John O%26#039;Grady, who was earlier in charge of NARC Divisions of the LAPD, was one of them. He also hired Dick Grob, a former sargeant with the Palm Springs Police. He was surrounded by at least two lawmen in top security positions. Elvis was in danger. The %26quot;hoax%26quot; may have been the only way out! History will prove Elvis to be an American hero beyond being an American entertainer.
SIGHTINGS
With all the Elvis lookalikes, he could actually walk around using disguises and get away with it. Who would be looking for him anyway, when he is supposedly dead? Before 1977, there was an %26quot;Elvis lookalike, sound alike%26quot; at a Memphis theatre. Elvis put on his best %26quot;Elvis outfit%26quot;, strolled in and mingled with the clones, doing his best %26quot;Hey, baby%26quot;. Afterwards, he came back to Graceland laughing. He tried out and lost!
Elvis and his mother%26#039;s bodies were moved to the Meditation Gardens for burial, after three men tried to break into the crypt. Graceland was rezoned to permit burials at the estate. In the 1989 Orion%26#039;s %26quot;Farewell to the King%26quot;, the King says %26quot;I died once. I had to be willing to give up everything, even the will to live.%26quot; The last recording session at Graceland was The Last Farewell.
There have been many sightings at various places including Graceland. There are some escape routes at Graceland that people don%26#039;t know about.
In a syndicated newspaper across the nation on June 5, 1990, an article headlined %26quot;Elvis Lives, At Least On Census Form.%26quot; The Census Bureau reported in 1990 that Elvis returned a questionaire to the bureau office in Huntsville, Alabama. It was noticed by census workers who were screening forms for completednesss.
Late Night with Ross Shafer (August 1988) had a survey that showed that out of 30,000 people polled, approximately 84% believe Elvis is alive.
On Monday, August 22, 1988, Harold Schuitmaker, in an item of the Detroit News, said %26quot;Elvis is Alive and Living in Kalamazoo.%26quot; Schuitmaker was a well known Michigan politician and resident of Paw Paw (15 miles from Kalamazoo).
The masked singer Orion was at the McMinnville Civic Center and a fan said that she felt that the man onstage and the one who signed autographs were different people. People have reported that someone sounding like Elvis called them on the phone and some hung up because they couldn%26#039;t believe it.
A book titled Elvis: Where Are You? came out of Wilton Manors, Florida around August, 1982 under the name of Al Jefferies. The premise of the book was that Elvis hoaxed his death. Kelly Burgess, a former assistant editor and feature writer with the Detroit News, claimed to have seen Elvis in Kalamazoo, Michigan. She is not living now.
In 1988, Heartbreak Hotel starred David Keith as Elvis. (The film had the support of EP Enterprises.) A soundtrack album thanked Jerry Schilling and a special thanks to J.B.
In 1987%26#039;s Robo Cop, a cop is killed, but didn%26#039;t die. He returns as Robo Cop-a superman hero. It was filmed in Michigan. During that time radio stations got calls from a man sounding like Elvis Presley. There have been lots of sightings there and it was also on his final concert tour. Is this possibly a %26quot;message%26quot; film?
March 18, 1990, an article on Robo Cop, in the Detroit News told of Robo Cop speaking to a Boys and Girls club against drugs. It was a three month long anti-drug campaign organized by the FBI, Orion Home Video of New York, and the Boys Club of America. This Robo Cop was not the same actor as in the movie-his true identity was not revealed. he was a special agent helping the FBI fight the war on drugs. His suit was bullet-proof. During filming, some people saw a man looking like an older Elvis.
In Mac and Me, a film from 1988, a young alien is lost and at the end the family drives away in an old pink Cadillac convertible. A balloon caption says %26quot;We%26#039;ll be back%26quot;. The sound track is on Curb Records, which is the same label as %26quot;Spelling on the Stone%26quot;. There were some song lyrics which were: %26quot;Tired of being myself, being different from everyone else, somehow you knew I needed your help, be my friend forever. I never found my star in the night; living my dream was far from sight.%26quot; There was a scene in the movie where Eric asks Debbie %26quot;Why didn%26#039;t you tell him that you saw him (the alien)?%26quot; She says, %26quot;Because no one would believe me.%26quot;
Elvis has become a mythic figure, and there have been frequent rumors that he is still alive. Elvis remains the single most influential and respected figure in the history of Rock music. Elvis was the first Rock/Pop singer to have a single record sell a million copies, the first to go platinum with an album in less than two weeks, the first singer to pre-sell a million records before it%26#039;s release, the first entertainer to earn a million dollars for one concert performance, and the first young, white, southern male to bring international attention to the importance of black rhythm and blues. He was the first singer to get a million dollar screen contract. He was the first music personality to have a TV performance broadcast worldwide via satellite.
In 1993, he became the first rock%26#039;n%26#039;roll star whose picture appeared on a commemorative U.S. Postal stamp (the largest stamp printing in history). Elvis is a landmark in almost everyone%26#039;s life, going back to distant memories of watching him above the waist on Ed Sullivan or hearing %26quot;Hound Dog%26quot; for the first time. His image continues to mesmerize: witness the appearance of 200 Elvis impersonators at Liberty Weekend in 1986.
There was a time when he was merely the most popular entertainer in history. He is more than that now. He is a symbol of America as recognizable as the flag. Elvis opened the %26#039;window of his soul%26#039; to his fans all over the world.
Thank you, Elvis! Remember you are always on our minds. %26quot;TCB FOREVER!
Any Comments on this ? E-mail Me
Elvis alive?
Elvis is dead. Autopsy performed. Death certificate issued. A conspiracy of the magnitude described in the article would require the cooperation of an extraordinary number of people. It defies all reasonable logic to state otherwise.
Reply:Of course he%26#039;s dead he died of constapation!!!! (which is an embarrising way to die if you ask me)
Reply:Jeez, he%26#039;s dead already. What would be the purpose of such an involved and grand hoax? It wasn%26#039;t like he needed to cheat insurance companies so his family would be provided for.
Anyway, if you like fantasies, watch %26quot;Bubba Hotep%26quot;. It is an amazing allegory on lives and what might have been with Elvis in the lead, explaining why he%26#039;s not dead. I really love it.
Reply:Yes he is dead.
You just wasted an hour of your life on this question.
I%26#039;m sorry no one told you sooner.
g-day!
Reply:Ya he is dead he had a drug, and drinking problem. One of my teachers went to most of his concerts until those bad things started happening.
Reply:I must say I do like the theories put forward here and I would like to believe hes still alive somewhere but in reality I dont think he is. Look at JFK, Marilyn Monroe and Diana whenever a celebrity who has made a big impact on the world in their lives dies, the conspiracy theorists go mad. Dont get me wrong I love conspiracy theorys cos they make me go %26#039;ooh I wonder%26#039; but so did the Da Vinci Code- I love stories that have those kinda twists and turns but that doesnt mean I believe them.
Conspiracy Theories are good because they are good stories whether they are true or not.
If Elvis is alive then he obviously wants to remain %26#039;dead%26#039; else he wouldve revealed himself. If he is really dead, end of.
Either way he will be sadly missed. Long Live The King
Reply:Of course Elvis is alive. As long as there is one heart ready to believe in him, as long as he brings a smile to one little girl, Elvis is alive!

Feeling insecure .?
aww well im sure youre doing these things just cuz you care but maybe your girlfriend just needs a little space. so instead of being with her 24/7 you can hang out with your friends, play sports, or whatever hobby you have ^^? try doing some of the things you liked to do before you met her..like if you liked reading or sth?
Good luck~!
Reply:My advice will come from another perspective compared to all the other answers you%26#039;ve received. First off, you may have jumped too fast with feelings for this girl and she might not be near with the strength you are experiencing. You have to understand that we do not chose who we love. You do have a problem for coming on too much BUT, if she was the right girl for you and felt the same about you, you would NOT feel insecure. Trust me, with the right person, you will not feel insecure, noone will call you a stalker (how rude, just because you are NICE to someone and give them your HEART) and you will not feel naive and betrayed. Usually people react rude because they are ashamed of their own lack of feelings and because they are hurting the person and it%26#039;s a natural human reaction, but they are not to be blamed or resented for trying. Sorry, but you should let her go completely. She has JUST come out of a divorce, probably a lot of feelings left, maybe you are just a rebound. Sorry I have to be blunt, but you have to be served the truth at this point. Back off completely and IF she wants you again, TAKE IT SLOW! Then, if she doesn%26#039;t start having real feelings for you, leave the thing. Which it seems to me it will happen, she is not The One, sorry. I%26#039;ve known people dragging the relationships for years, even getting married for a person to find out they were never loved, it makes a person mental trying to understand what went wrong when NOTHING was wrong, she/he just couldn%26#039;t love him/her! The suckiest thing about love is that you do not chose who you love, the sooner you come to terms with this, the sooner you will be able to recognize the right partner to have a relationship with a perspective with.
Reply:Get some therapy you really are on the verge of becoming a stalker she has asked you to back off. She has explained that you are creeping her out and yet you still are all about you. You%26#039;re not about how you%26#039;re so sorry you have frightened her and made her feel uncomfortable but are all about how will I deal with the loss. Geesh you%26#039;re no where near ready for a relationship. She asked nice now back off before she calls the cops.
Reply:I used to be / still am the same in relationships. I was told by both of my ex%26#039;s that I was too clingy and insecure and that%26#039;s one of the main reasons they left me. I have now come to realise that people do need some space on their own. You can%26#039;t live in each others pockets. I love spending time with the people that I go out with, but sometimes you can have too much of a good thing. When she asks you to have time on her own, agree and plan a night with the lads. If you have trust issues then you can also use the nights to take your mind off her. Please take the advice of someone who has lost two people who meant alot to her. Especially one of them. Give it time and soon you will also begin to appreciate the time on your own as well.
Reply:no wonder she is freaked out, I%26#039;m sorry but i would be to. Maybe like me she is just not used to having someone care about her that much. How sweet but you need to calm down if you dont want to loose her. Give her a couple of days then ask her to meet you for a drink so you can talk. Tell her that your sorry and it was only because you like her alot and you understand that you came on to strong. Tel her you will stop buying things(special occasions only otherwise it will just be abused and mean nothing) arrange to meet up another night in a few days but until the date dont phone or send her anything. Keep your self busy
Reply:if your not care full you are going to lose this girl...take a back seat and stop being so full on... see you guys can ether be too full on or not at all....there is no in between...
leave her alone for a couple of days...this relation ship has to go both ways...maybe she just wanted a bit of fun and you are going to far...give her some time....and cool it with her...I%26#039;m not saying stop seeing her but just cool it and have your days apart to do other things...like going out with your mates...ect...good look hunie be care full don%26#039;t get hurt...don%26#039;t let her see you as a bunny boiler...
Reply:loose this chick you need to help yourself.
Reply:Basically, she just wanted a dick for her own pleasuring needs. She figured she would F*ck you for awhile, but then when she caught drift of maybe %26quot; this guy is wanting something more, and it%26#039;s freaking me out%26quot;. Women do not want the %26quot;nice guy%26quot;, unless he makes money, or if he look%26#039;s like a %26quot;pretty boy%26quot;. Goodlooking women like assholes who treat them like sh*t, and they date these guy%26#039;s because their insecure. They also date them because they look like a couple in a glamour magizine and their friends a prove. It%26#039;s all B.S., it%26#039;s all games, women are thinking about every problem and about every situation all the time. It%26#039;s gets them into trouble, and sometimes us men get involved in the drama. Women are crazy, at a young age their already thinking of marriage and thinking of having lunch with janice on a tuesday afternoon, while their money making husband is working. That%26#039;s the life they want, not all women though. That%26#039;s why I usually stay away from white women, I%26#039;ll date either spanish or women from another country other than america. Their more mature and down to earth, their not spoiled like americans. Date older women as well, they can be classy, more mature, not into games, etc... (not all though) keep that in mind. Good luck to you...........

Feeling insecure .?
aww well im sure youre doing these things just cuz you care but maybe your girlfriend just needs a little space. so instead of being with her 24/7 you can hang out with your friends, play sports, or whatever hobby you have ^^? try doing some of the things you liked to do before you met her..like if you liked reading or sth?
Good luck~!
Reply:My advice will come from another perspective compared to all the other answers you%26#039;ve received. First off, you may have jumped too fast with feelings for this girl and she might not be near with the strength you are experiencing. You have to understand that we do not chose who we love. You do have a problem for coming on too much BUT, if she was the right girl for you and felt the same about you, you would NOT feel insecure. Trust me, with the right person, you will not feel insecure, noone will call you a stalker (how rude, just because you are NICE to someone and give them your HEART) and you will not feel naive and betrayed. Usually people react rude because they are ashamed of their own lack of feelings and because they are hurting the person and it%26#039;s a natural human reaction, but they are not to be blamed or resented for trying. Sorry, but you should let her go completely. She has JUST come out of a divorce, probably a lot of feelings left, maybe you are just a rebound. Sorry I have to be blunt, but you have to be served the truth at this point. Back off completely and IF she wants you again, TAKE IT SLOW! Then, if she doesn%26#039;t start having real feelings for you, leave the thing. Which it seems to me it will happen, she is not The One, sorry. I%26#039;ve known people dragging the relationships for years, even getting married for a person to find out they were never loved, it makes a person mental trying to understand what went wrong when NOTHING was wrong, she/he just couldn%26#039;t love him/her!

I need unique gift delivery ideas for my boyfriend?
Hello! I am looking for websites or companies that offer unique gifts
that can be delivered to the recipient. I want to send my boyfriend
something cool and I want it delivered to his work, but I don%26#039;t want
to go with an old standard like flowers. I sent him Mrs Fields cookies
once, and he liked that, but he%26#039;s trying to be more health-conscious
these days so cookies probably wouldn%26#039;t fly a second time. Can you
give me some specific ideas as to creative and unique gifts that are
offered through a gift delivery service? I am not interested in most
of the %26quot;Just For Him%26quot; gift baskets that I%26#039;ve seen online - things like
cologne or beers of the world or anything like that, I think it would
just be too cheesy. (Plus he doesn%26#039;t drink)… in short, something
more off-the-wall that would catch him by surprise, but pleasantly
surprised! He loves music - listening to it, recording it, playing it
(he plays guitar) so if there was a company or website that does
I need unique gift delivery ideas for my boyfriend?
www.pajamagram.com It%26#039;s realy cool %26amp; unique!
Reply:Sorry cant really help but how about giving him something like clothing that goes with his style, and personality. Or how about a trip somewhere where there is music history or somewhere he%26#039;s always dreamed of going.
Reply:Here are a few ideas that you%26#039;ll both enjoy - him getting them, you creating them.
1) CafePress.com - open your own account and design things for him.
Http://www.cafepress.com
You can design graphics, or upload pictures and put them on teddy bears,(imagine a commemorative teddy bear for each special occasion?) t-shirts, mugs, posters, etc.
These are all the things you can customize:
http://www.cafepress.com/cp/customize/?v...
Incidentally, they include books and CDs, if you have the
copyright to the material.
2) Music and story-telling - go to Celestial Navigations
http://www.celestialnavigations.com
Pick up any of the CDs and send it to him. Then arrange to
spend an evening with him, with the lights turned low, or
in candlelight, listening to Geoffrey Lewis weave his tales.
A wonderful way to spark his imagination and to create a
romantic evening.
I saw them in Las Vegas at the Golden Nugget years ago,
and the experience still haunts me - in a happy way.
3) Of course, there%26#039;s always Amazon.com - you can get his
favorite books, music, software, videos, even toys and lots
of other things from there. Remember, they DO deliver - and
on orders of $25 or more, 2-day delivery is free.
4) Have you ever visited AllPosters.com?
Http://allposters.com
Wow! You can find pictures for any passion - framed or unframed. They have some really great values when they have sales - and something interesting is always on sale. (I once got my boyfriend this poster of a wealthy man, standing next to his Rolls Royce in front of the unemployment office…20+ years later, it%26#039;s still in his home.)
You may be able to get away with less than $25 including shipping.
5) You said he likes books on tape. Well, BooksOnTape delivers
http://booksontape.com
You may either buy or rent the books. Renting isn%26#039;t so bad,
since you may keep the books for about a month. Then ship them back in their own container at no additional cost. Only, make sure he knows they%26#039;re rented… Also, they have really good deals when they have sales.
6)You didn%26#039;t mention if he likes animals? But if he does, here%26#039;s a way to enjoy them without having to clean up after them - The Animal Den - http://www.animalden.com
They have all kinds of gift items with gorgeous animal pictures on them. You can order things for many breeds of many animals.
7) Campy things, and things you don%26#039;t expect - drop by Classic Closeouts
http://classiccloseouts.com
They have collectibles, like Star Trek pins, or designer clothing, or household things - you never know what. Just for the fun of it.
8) Give him a Club Pogo membership
http://www.pogo.com
You can play online together, without being interrupted by ads, and you can chat while you%26#039;re playing. You might (long shot) even win some money prizes. And their software doesn%26#039;t mess up your computer.
9) Get him an Entertainment book for his town, or yours.
Http://entertainment.com/
Not only will you get discounts (even movie theaters), but it can be an awful lot of fun using the book to explore your own area. Aside from restaurants, there are discounts to live theaters, concerts, amusement venues, bowling alleys, all kinds of places you didn%26#039;t even know existed around you.
Oh yes, you can also get 50% off hotels and other travel discounts.
10) If you want an assortment of interesting, often unusual, and expensive items, visit the Hammacher Schlemmer catalogue.
Http://www.hammacher.com/
It%26#039;s such fun! And you%26#039;ll usually find something within your price range.
11) Does he like puzzles? You%26#039;re going to love Bits and Pieces!
Http://www.bitsandpieces.com/
They have THE most beautiful and fun jigsaw puzzles, and 3-d puzzles and other interesting curiosities. Most of them are well within your budget. In fact, you can often get several things for that price.
Oh yes, and they have a mystery puzzle, where you can win $1,000 for solving the mystery. Always a fun challenge.
12) For those times when you%26#039;re feeling silly, there%26#039;s Prank Place
www.PrankPlace.com
Granted, there%26#039;s a lot of stuff in bad taste. Ignore those things.
They also have a lot of cute and fun things. For instance, I found a whole raft of things relating to money gags for my readers.
They have magic tricks, fake parking tickets, remote controlled mice, etc.
13) And speaking of magic…what boy doesn%26#039;t love magic tricks?
