Rain forces rescheduling of fireworks
There’s a knack to shooting fireworks. With 1.3 grams of explosives in a typical commercial fireworks product, the same as a stick of dynamite, you had better know what you’re doing if you’re going to light off these big boys. The guys from Knoxville Pyrotechnics team know what they’re doing.

Firstly, I do want to marry my boyfriend but I’ve never wanted a wedding. Really, nothing, I’d be quite happy with saying I do and going straight on holiday. Mainly because I’m barely in contact with my family and I only have a handful of friends (work people don’t count). who live miles away in my hometown

However my boyfriend really wants a bigger do with all his family and friends. He thinks it’s important for them to be part of it and feel special. I’ve gone along with all this for his sake. We’ve sent invitations out but not really spent much money yet.

Now it’s turned into a farce. These people he wants to make feel special don’t seem too fussed about turning up (they’ll pop by, see what they’re up to or they might even be on holiday). As if that’s not bad enough none of my family will be making the trip down (yeah thanks) and not all my friends are able to confirm, meaning I have a grand total of 4 people on my side while my boyfriend will have about 100people on his side.

I’ve had enough!!! Why should I spend loads of money entertaining his friends and family with a wedding I’ve never wanted and I’m not looking forward to. I always made clear to my boyfriend my thoughts on weddings and even predicted my family’s lack of interest and his friend’s flakiness but he was insistent it was important to him to have the wedding his way with a big party (even when I was in tears begging to just elope). I eventually agreed to it beause I love him and it really was important to him. I’ve never been happy about this though and this morning I snapped and between sobs I told him that while I do want to marry him I’m really not looking forward to my own wedding. He didn’t say much to that and then he had to shoot off to work. I haven’t seen him since or had chance to talk about it.

I meant what I said but I feel awful about how this must have upset him. What do I do? Am I even being fair? Do I play it down and just get on with it, is that what most brides do? He’ll probably ask tonight what I want instead- is it reasonable to suggest eloping with no friends or family (I’d only be dissapointing 4 people anyhow:- )???

Any ideas?

I should probably add that a couple of nights ago he got annoyed at how few people are coming from my side despite me pointing out months ago that this would likely be the case. He even snapped that maybe I should make more friends quickly and invite work people I only know to sit and have a sandwich with.

Anyone can get a load of aquaintences to turn up to a party but I don’t see the point of that, especially when it’s our special day and we’re paying. He can’t have it both ways, he was getting his big do and it’s hardly my fault if my messed up family don’t like me and don’t want to come because I’ve bettered myself and I have a good job.

I feel I can’t win- we elope and I depive him of his big wedding, we have the big wedding and I ruin it by not having enough friends and family for his mate to chat-up. ??

Hello,

My name is Devon. I just started a small business a couple of months ago and I really need a grant or a loan to utilize its full potential. Where should I go and what should I do. My personal credit is not good, so the loan I’m not to sure about. My business is registered with my state and I and an EIN number. I’m all set just need the extra money. Take a look at my business proposal and give me constructive criticism please!!!

The story is going to be called weddings, funerals, and other miseries. I’m fifteen, I aced my English test last week and I’ve only edited this chapter once.

Chapter one.

It was another wet night for Alex, he locked up the shop, combed his slick, black hair and began to bike his way home, just like he did every other night. Alex had worked at the local music store for the past five years now, he got hired when he was fifteen by his Dad, who ran the store, and now Alex was in management; His parents died in a tragic accident, they were driving home from another wedding, for some reason his family liked weddings, funerals, any annoying gathering that forces misery or happiness onto everyone there.
Of course, they were drunk. Driving by the cliffs near his seaside house, his Father swerved from the edge into the deep blue below them, the car wasn’t found for another two weeks, all that was left from each person was half a decaying corpse, Alex didn’t talk about this much, he hated it. The funeral was like any other, the same lot always arriving, one man arrived who Alex had never seen before, the man left before the wake when he was hoping he would be able to introduce himself. Alex moved into a new apartment, the depression of riding past the cliffs every day antagonized him, it made him more pissed off to be upset, that he would forget about being upset.
Alex sat on his bed in his foggy, green swamp of a bedroom, and opened his draw where he kept all the savings he had, as well as his “special friend”. He pulled out a bag of white powder and walked into his living room. He poured some coke onto the glass coffee table that he lost his virginity on and began his favorite part, pulling out the razorblade and making fine lines, pouring out some wine to drink between lines. He was ready to snort the chemicals deep into his system. He rolled up a ten pound note and bent over the table, sniffing up line by line until he had finished three. He gulped down his blood red wine, tipped the rest of his Charlie into the bag and rolled up a joint.
He turned on his old television and put on some Saturday morning cartoons, that was the strange thing about cocaine, Alex could stay up all night, and even weed wouldn’t tire him. He would stare at the walls then, just to end the high on a subtle note, watch some cartoons, baked out of his mind, sinking deeper into the sofa. There was a knock at the door “Rent money…rent money…rent money!!” Alex leapt into his bedroom and grabbed the one hundred pound for this week. He opened the door to see an old woman, somewhere in her eighties: purple hair, too much make up, curlers in. “Her you go Mrs. Wench. All one hundred, I love your red hair today.” Alex always gave her a compliment, just so she wouldn’t get annoyed with him and decide to search the flat. She always preferred having her hair called red, even she doesn’t know why, the crack around her lips looked like various canals leading into a big see of red lipstick. “Oh fuck off you little shit, I know what you’re up to!”
”And a nice day to you too, Mrs. Wench!” He called after her on her way down the corridor.
