Flowers delivered to you at work/school?
A gift delivered to your home from the Louis Vuitton store?
Ben and Jerry's delivery man coming up the sidewalk with a dolly full load of ice cream?
Which would make you happier?
Flowers or vegan ice cream =)
Reply:definitely the gift
Reply:flowers @ work
so sweet...
plus making coworkers jealous is always fun :D
Reply:A vegan meal made especially for me. Flowers die and ice cream melts too quickly.
Reply:my prince makes me happier..... my saviour king, knowing he lavishes his love on me .............. then last but not least a gift delivered to my home from loius vuitton or any shopping store........
Reply:Flowers delivered
Reply:ben and jerry's !!! yay yum
Reply:flowers being delivered to me at work
Reply:Louis Vuitton because I'd sell it and buy another Chanel purse :)
Reply:Flowers would be nice!
Reply:Flowers delivered at work. It's nice to get flowers at home but it's better at work where everyone can see and be jealous. If it's my favorite flower = big bonus points!!!
Reply:flowers
Reply:flowers delivered to my work, that will make me happy!!!
Reply:Flowers, I'm a hopeless romantic. The cheaper the better-- I know, sorta weird( I mean, what girls doesnt' want big, fancy flowers?!) but to me it's just sweeter that way. (n_n) A nice card with them would be good too, but I'd settle for a secret admirer!
~The Otaku Twins~
Reply:ice cream definitely
Reply:OOOOooo... it's a tie between the flowers and the ice cream. The problem would be that I do not have the facilities to store all that ice cream all at once, but the flowers are much easier to accomodate.
Everyone is entitled to my opinion.
Reply:Why flowers? they'll die
Why eat? it's all going down the toilet anyways.
Gifts? totally.
Or maybe a kiss. I could use one. who wouldn't
Reply:Wow all of those would be amazing, I wish my boyfriend would even think to do one of those.
Depends, if she's into the fancy clothes/money stuff, then do the Louis Vuitton.
But if she's more into the simple things, do ice cream or flowers
Reply:Actually, how about a small trunk from Louid Vuitton half filled with flowers and the Ben %26amp; Jerry ice cream packed in dry ice in the other half?!
Reply:All of the above would make me happiest but I haven't had ice cream in like a year or two or three so that would be sorta cool except I might become addicted again and have to spend months at B%26amp;J anonymous. (that sounds almost odd)
:-)
Peace y'all
Reply:MMMMMMMMM, ice cream, the Ben and Jerry's.
Reply:ICE CREAM!
Reply:It's a toss up between the flowers and the ice cream....but I'm gonna go with the flowers.
Reply:#1 would embarass the life out of me and piss me off
#2 would be good if i could choose what i want
#3 i wouldnt have enough room in my freezer
Reply:Flowers delivered at work, it would make me feel special.
Reply:Gift from Louis Vuitton
Flowers die and ice cream is gone when I eat it, but LV is forever :)
Reply:2nd hehe i love me some LV
and i don't like thing sent to work/school
and ice cream only lasts until i eat it
Reply:I'd have to go with the Ben and Jerry's.

Eastenders - Arthur Fowlers antique clock?
There was an episode of Eastenders back in around 1995, 1996, and Arthur Fowler was in receipt of delivery of an antique clock. As the episode progressed, Arthur and Willy Roper (the guy that ultimately framed him regarding the embezzlement of funds for the 'flowering Walford' campaign, or whatever it was called) speculated on who could have sent him the clock, and why. As far as I know, this was never resolved. Ever. I know it's trivial, but it's stuff like this that keeps me awake at night. Please advise.
Eastenders - Arthur Fowlers antique clock?
chill out dude it's not the end of time
Reply:I wish I could remember. I loved the character.It was so sad when the writers killed him off. Still miss him and I also miss Nigel!

Birthday present for 9yo niece?
My niece is turning 9yo and I am tired of getting her toys that normally stay in the box. What should I get her? I thought about a vermont teddy bear but I'm not spending $70-$80 on a teddy bear! I would send her flowers but my brother does that for her every year. Any website delivery ideas? Help!
Birthday present for 9yo niece?
book(s) there are so many amazing children's books these days. I believe it to be the perfect gift. They're something that can be treasured for a lifetime. Amazon.com always has great deals.

hmm and a 9 yr old dont want flowers.

try searching stores like
KB TOYS
or old navy
old navy a lot of kids like.
Reply:Get her a really cute unique little outfit. She'll feel super cool when wearing it and she'll be thrilled that it came from her Aunt. Don't go for toys, unless there's something she really has her eye on.
Reply:Something related to Hannah Montana maybe. That's about the right age for that obsession. Or you could take her out for the day. Go see a movie, the spa, or just shopping.
Reply:If you live close enough, then you could take her to the movies and for pizza (just you two girls) she would really like that and it would be something she would remember longer then the toys.
if you live too far away then why don't you get her a gift card for her fave store and let her go buy what ever she wants (also send her a little present as well as she is still a kid) -- For example, if your going to give her $80 then give her $50 on a gift card and get her some Hanna Montana stuff as well with the other $20
Reply:Go to www.cookiesbydesign.com
There are a lot of different cookies to choose and they come in a bouquet. They taste great and are adorable!

Reply:Why not a disney MiX Stick, it can be expanded to 1gig for music and it would give her something to have to runaround and jam out too...

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'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 "grew up" 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'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 "with it" 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'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'd say I grew out of childhood at around 11 or twelve and that'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'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's true in some places. Where I live it'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't true. It also isn'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's media making it crazy. If you don't want your child to be like this, don'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'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's as much as I know - there is more I bet), and it'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'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 "the night time" 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'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't like the 1950'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'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' 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'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't the NSPCC be looking at what's going on in our schools?
Reply:Yikes. I'm only 23 and things have REALLY changed from when I was a kid.
People wonder what's wrong with kids these days, but I have to wonder, what's wrong with some PARENTS these days?
When you don'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'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 'streetwise' 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.

Death of a child?
A friend from work lost her baby just before her delivery. There will be no funeral just a graveside service. My question is what is appropriate? Do I send flowers to the graveside or do I have them sent to her home? Just not really sure what to do in this situation.
Death of a child?
how sad, id send them to her home, unless you plan on attending the service.
Reply:give it to her in person =)
Reply:If I were you I would send the flowers to the graveside. Why, because if I send it to her home it would be like i'm trying to suck her up(even though I'm not)
If I send it to graveside, she would see it when she went to the graveside and feel happy that somebody else do care. : )
Reply:No flowers, Just be there for her if she is takeing it badly...
Reply:I would send the flowers to her home, a day or two after the service.. and don't specify when they have to be delivered - have them call her and arrange the best time for her to get them :)
I wouldn't send anything graveside, it's more of a close family thing and depending on what they're doing might not be appropriate..
Reply:Wow. That must be tough. I am sorry to hear that. I personally would send flowers and a card to the home so that it would help brighten the home up a little. Try to anyway.
Reply:both home and gravesie
Reply:I would send them to her home, and then visit her in maybe a few weeks (depending on how close you are) and bring her a meal
Reply:like southern mama said, make a donation in the baby's/family name. I feel for her loss, I had a miscarriage a few years ago
Reply:I THINK MAYBE BOTH ONE FOR THE MOM AND THE OTHER FOR THE POOR BABY!
Reply:just send it to her house..
you never knew the baby...
you should just send it to her house and make HER feel better...
because i know what it is like...
my mother has lost 2 babies before they were born...
☺☺
Reply:Graveside. You could also (if you feel close enough to do so) Make a dinner for her and her husband that can be warmed up and take it to her home. Or give gift cards to local take-out spots. so she and her husband can just order out and not have to go into public places. My bestfriend lost a baby at 2days of age and her Aunt gave her gift-cards for take out and it helped her alot. Esp. if she has other children to feed.
Reply:Give her space for a little bit.
Send the flowers to her home. And to the graveside.
Reply:My friend went through the same situation. I think you should send flowers to the graveside then put a note inside saying "Love, ___________ and put a prayer inside.
your name
Reply:that is very sad! umm... im not that sure eathier! i would send to home but i might be wrong
Reply:I think send flowers to the grave, and a card to the home. It's fine to send flowers to either of those places though, it's the thought that counts.
Reply:as hard as it is to have some one close to you or someone you know to loose a child at any age or gestation is can be very difficult and to try and send your sympathy cxan be even harder when you dont want to make them feel any more grieve but them knowing that you care ca nbe a great deal of help in the process. sending flowers to eithor the home or the graveside would be approperiate, the home it would brighten a room and bring some love from a friend, and also would bring love to their child that they lost. eithor way they will know you love them and feel their pain and sorrow.
i am so sorry i know know how it feels, and i know that the feeling of love from friends and family makes it feel a little bit better to see the next day through,my husband and i lost a pregnancy at 13 weeks it wasnt very far but it was my baby. we where given another chance and 3 kids later they give us hope that the next day will be worth seeing to the end!
Reply:not sure
i would do both
Reply:When I had a miscarriage at 20 weeks, my friends all made a donnation to the March of Dimes in honor of the baby. I was sent a very nice card from the March of Dimes telling me about that. I cared about that more then the flowers I got.
Reply:Graveside.

Reply:I would send the flowers to her home, a day or two after the service.. and don't specify when they have to be delivered - have them call her and arrange the best time for her to get them :)
I wouldn't send anything graveside, it's more of a close family thing and depending on what they're doing might not be appropriate..
Reply:Wow. That must be tough. I am sorry to hear that. I personally would send flowers and a card to the home so that it would help brighten the home up a little. Try to anyway.
Reply:both home and gravesie
Reply:I would send them to her home, and then visit her in maybe a few weeks (depending on how close you are) and bring her a meal
Reply:like southern mama said, make a donation in the baby's/family name. I feel for her loss, I had a miscarriage a few years ago
Reply:I THINK MAYBE BOTH ONE FOR THE MOM AND THE OTHER FOR THE POOR BABY!
Reply:just send it to her house..
you never knew the baby...
you should just send it to her house and make HER feel better...
because i know what it is like...
my mother has lost 2 babies before they were born...
☺☺
Reply:Graveside. You could also (if you feel close enough to do so) Make a dinner for her and her husband that can be warmed up and take it to her home. Or give gift cards to local take-out spots. so she and her husband can just order out and not have to go into public places. My bestfriend lost a baby at 2days of age and her Aunt gave her gift-cards for take out and it helped her alot. Esp. if she has other children to feed.
Reply:Give her space for a little bit.
Send the flowers to her home. And to the graveside.
Reply:My friend went through the same situation. I think you should send flowers to the graveside then put a note inside saying "Love, ___________ and put a prayer inside.
your name
Reply:that is very sad! umm... im not that sure eathier! i would send to home but i might be wrong
Reply:I think send flowers to the grave, and a card to the home. It's fine to send flowers to either of those places though, it's the thought that counts.
Reply:as hard as it is to have some one close to you or someone you know to loose a child at any age or gestation is can be very difficult and to try and send your sympathy cxan be even harder when you dont want to make them feel any more grieve but them knowing that you care ca nbe a great deal of help in the process. sending flowers to eithor the home or the graveside would be approperiate, the home it would brighten a room and bring some love from a friend, and also would bring love to their child that they lost. eithor way they will know you love them and feel their pain and sorrow.
i am so sorry i know know how it feels, and i know that the feeling of love from friends and family makes it feel a little bit better to see the next day through,my husband and i lost a pregnancy at 13 weeks it wasnt very far but it was my baby. we where given another chance and 3 kids later they give us hope that the next day will be worth seeing to the end!
Reply:not sure
i would do both
Reply:When I had a miscarriage at 20 weeks, my friends all made a donnation to the March of Dimes in honor of the baby. I was sent a very nice card from the March of Dimes telling me about that. I cared about that more then the flowers I got.
Reply:Graveside.

That US General only this time in London - Rate 1 to 10?
AN AMERICAN soldier in London decides to skip his tour group and
explore the city on his own. He wanders around, seeing the sights, and
occasionally stopping at a quaint pub to soak up the local culture,
chat with the lads, and have a pint of Guinness.
After a while, he finds himself in a very high-class area...big,
stately residences... no pubs, no shops, no restaurants, and worst of
all... NO PUBLIC TOILETS. He really, really has to go, after all those
pints of Guinness. He finds a narrow side street, with high walls
surrounding the adjacent buildings and decides to use the wall to
solve his problem.
As he is unzipping, he is tapped on the shoulder by a London Bobbie,
who says, "I say, sir, you simply cannot do that here, you know."
"I'm very sorry, officer," replies the American, "but I really, really
HAVE TO GO, and I just can't find a public toilet."
"Ah, yes," said the Bobbie, "Just follow me". He leads him to a back
"delivery alley", then along a wall to a gate, which he opens.
"In there," points the Bobbie. "Whiz away SIR, anywhere you want."
The fellow enters and finds himself in the most beautiful garden he
has ever seen. Manicured grass lawns, statuary, fountains, sculptured
hedges, and huge beds of gorgeous flowers, all in perfect bloom. Since
he has the cop's blessing, he unburdens himself and is greatly
relieved. As he goes back through the gate, he says to the Bobbie
"That was really decent of you... is that what you call "British
Hospitality?"
"No sir", replied the Bobbie, "that is what we call the French Embassy."

So your elaborate "joke" is not only not funny, it also lacks any grounds of possibility.
A typical example of American brain capacity.

How do I get my wife to forgive me? I sent a card and flowers to another woman, and she caught me?
cheaping out. I had my brother deliver my birthday present to my mother because he was going over there anyway. She says it's more fun to get it from a delivery guy? Is this true? Geez, I thought saving $40 was a good thing.

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 "favour" and not the traditional American "favor". Good luck!

What does this mean in woman language?
My girlfriend split up with me 1 month ago(the reason is still unclear, even to her i think) I sent her a gift certificate and flowers just before Christmas. She received them the day she was writing a University exam. She contacted me 1 week after the delivery and after catching up a bit, the first thing she said about the gift was that it was a distraction. Eventually she did say thank you. If she did the breaking up and i've been respecting her space by not contacting her, then why was it " a distraction"? What does that mean?
What does this mean in woman language?
You need to leave her alone, she is not ready for the relationship and maybe your gift made her think about it when she should have been thinking about her exam.
Reply:She sounds confused. Maybe she felt like you were sending her the gift without regard for her exam and she was offended (hence the "distraction"). But the fact that she contacted you indicates to me that she must have strong feelings for you. Even if she's calling to insult you, she's still calling you. She could have just ignored it and said nothing. I think she wants to talk to you but doesn't want to commit to it. Let her come to you.
Reply:It means she had to stop what she was doing and think about you. Could be bad or good....
Reply:It means that u sound like a very nice guy..............in love with a not so nice girl. Move on she has made it very clear that she wants to move on.
Reply:welcome to the dark world of women my friend. what a woman says and what she means by sayng that, is a mystery to everyman who came in contact with women. if she called you one week later, then it means she has some feelings for you.
regards
khan
Reply:Most likely she's confused and your gift made her 'pause'. Keep gentle contact with her if you like and see what happens next.
Reply:A better set of questions for you.
Why try to figure out what she meant? Is she retarded or merely trying not to give you any answers? She is a big girl and she should be made to prove it by her actions. She should be able to communicate honestly and clearly. If she cant/more likely wont, then it is either by choice or she is stupid. In neither case should you take one moment to try to figure it out. She is the one who should explain it. You should also be glad that she has broken it off, for it would not improve in the future. Trust me on this.
Reply:She's weird, that's a mean thign to say to someone who took the time out of their day to do something nice for you. Get rid of her... if you don't even know why you 2 broke up maybe she just wasn't into it or like I said she's just weird. I'd be super excited to receive random flowers! Even if they are distracting... plus they couldn't of been all that distracting to her since it took her a whole week to call.
Reply:I'm a little confused by that as well and I'm a woman. It could mean one of two things:
1) It was a positive distraction as she'd been studying so hard and it gave her a much needed break or cheered her up
OR
2) It was a negative distraction and broke her concentration or messed with her flow or Chi while studying/ writing her exam.
Either way, I would move on if I were you.
Reply:It's simple she had no REAL grounds to break up with you, and she still has feelings for you and the Gifts were a reminder that she still feelings for you Hence she calls them a "Distraction".
Hint: GO FOR HER
Reply:maybe its a distraction because shes been thinking of you and your gift is making her think about you and its distracting her from other things :)...does that help?
Reply:Maybe she meant it made her think of you when she was trying to concentrate on exams. If she broke up with you and is not contacting you let her go she probably wants it to be over.
Reply:Just forget about her she is plain mean and rude dont call her and if she calls you tell her you are bussy and that you will call her back and dont you will see that eventually she will be looking for you she is just playing games
Reply:In woman language that means that she is unsure of her feelings towards you, that she has too many things going on and with all the thought you put into buying and sending her that, it threw her off and couldn't think straight. That or it means she's just crazy.
Reply:"it" wasn't a distraction. You were a distraction. Pay the receptionsist on the way out. Thank you.
What does this mean in woman language?
You need to leave her alone, she is not ready for the relationship and maybe your gift made her think about it when she should have been thinking about her exam.
Reply:She sounds confused. Maybe she felt like you were sending her the gift without regard for her exam and she was offended (hence the "distraction"). But the fact that she contacted you indicates to me that she must have strong feelings for you. Even if she's calling to insult you, she's still calling you. She could have just ignored it and said nothing. I think she wants to talk to you but doesn't want to commit to it. Let her come to you.
Reply:It means she had to stop what she was doing and think about you. Could be bad or good....
Reply:It means that u sound like a very nice guy..............in love with a not so nice girl. Move on she has made it very clear that she wants to move on.
Reply:welcome to the dark world of women my friend. what a woman says and what she means by sayng that, is a mystery to everyman who came in contact with women. if she called you one week later, then it means she has some feelings for you.
regards
khan
Reply:Most likely she's confused and your gift made her 'pause'. Keep gentle contact with her if you like and see what happens next.
Reply:A better set of questions for you.
Why try to figure out what she meant? Is she retarded or merely trying not to give you any answers? She is a big girl and she should be made to prove it by her actions. She should be able to communicate honestly and clearly. If she cant/more likely wont, then it is either by choice or she is stupid. In neither case should you take one moment to try to figure it out. She is the one who should explain it. You should also be glad that she has broken it off, for it would not improve in the future. Trust me on this.

Where can i buy inexpensive flowers online from the us and have them shipped to the uk?
i'm looking to purchse a get well gift, flowers, balloons, a bear, for a friend over in london...a man in his 20s. i live in the united states. where can i purchase something like this? like a website? i've tried 1800 flowers and all of their packages that can be shipped to his area are quite pricey and very feminine looking. i'm looking to spend less than 30 dollars for the actual price of the product. maybe a little more if it's all that i can find. and more for shipping of course. i also need it guranteed for delivery next week on a specific day. any suggestions? or any suggestions for DIFFERENT get well gifts that can be sent here? thank you so much!
Where can i buy inexpensive flowers online from the us and have them shipped to the uk?
In the UK there is a service called interfora which arranges for a local florist to make up the order and deliver it.
Reply:You will be better off using an online florist based in the UK.
Reply:It's actually cheaper (than using Interflora etc) if you know whereabouts he is in the UK and have a look for florist shops close to him that accept c/c.
Cuts down on costs heaps, you can always ask if they have a website where you can pick the arrangement you want as well.

Will Flowers help?
Following up with my previous questions...
I've decided to give her her space and not pressure her... she doesn't want to talk about our relationship then I won't. She still says that I don't care about her, and that I don't ever listen to her... at all.
I don't really know how to prove to her that I do... I bought her three carnations (the flowers I got her on our first date and she always liked them), colored blue, pink, and white respectively. I am also going to write a note consisting of:
"You know I care about you very deeply, even though I am sometimes bad at showing it. No matter what, I am always here for you for anything."
along with it. Do you think that it will help? I am going to deliver it on her doorstep while she is there and then just ring the doorbell. Mysterious delivery.
Will Flowers help?
that is the perfect thing to do.....real good thinking just saying what you are planning to do shows that you do care about her...good luck man
Reply:realtionship sounds like hell
you have to prove over and over that you care about her majesty..........
NOTHING WRONG WITH HER.............RIGHT??????????
if you send flowers it proves you're whipped..........
ignore her and see if she persues you...........
Reply:Mysterious delivery? I'm sure she'll know right away who it's from.
Will it help? Possibly, Lord knows it can't hurt.
Good luck!
Reply:A very nice gesture. Leave the flowers and note and don't hang around her house. Let her think about it and enjoy the flowers. Why don't you give her three pink roses instead you know, take it up a notch. Good luck. I think she will come around. Give her space and wait it out. You sound like a sweet considerate person. Keep it up.
Reply:She migth see it as you running away and not facing her, if she catches you leaving it and then high tailing it out of there.....be careful.....has to be done without error. The truth of the matter is, you should ask her in the letter to help you understand her side of things..tell her you want to understand her feeling if she would give you the chance.
Reply:You mentioned that she mentioned a bf who was posessive and obsessive? Maybe she was manipulative and controlling to him like she is being to you?
You have done everything you can. I wouldn't just take a step back, I would leave completely - move on and find someone who cares about how you feel.
She is going to keep you holding on until something better comes along. You have only known her for 2 weeks.
If she does feel the same way, she will come calling! She will!

Funeral florist (business name) needed?
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.

If no one saw the flowers did they exist?
I spent $170 on a floral spray for a loved relative who's funeral I could not attend. I placed the order with the florist recommended by the funeral home and they seemed very accommodating.
After speaking with most of the relatives who did attend the funeral, nobody recalls seeing these flowers or my card. I called the florist and they later told me they had the receipt and the delivery driver specifically remembers delivering them.
I'm not a wealthy woman and the flowers being there meant a lot to me. I don't want to hurt the florist financially if they did what I paid them to do, but don't I deserve some sort of refund if they didn't?
This is all the information I have, so I have to make a decision based on what I've written. I'm considering filing an investigation request with my credit card company to have the charges reversed.
If no one saw the flowers did they exist?
Those things sometimes get mishandled at the funeral home. You could dispute the charge, but they will offer a signed receipt. The burden of proof is on you, and you have no proof.

are you having sex?
you wearing just a bow is the best gift.
but, if it just has to be a gift you can mail, i would still make it sexual. pics of you, panties for you that he can bring next time you are together.
if sex, flowers and a bear is out, this is a tough one.
tickets to a show he likes? something he has always wanted? beer ?subscription to playboy?

Where can I buy flowers online?
Specifically, I am looking for lavender roses, for my wedding-I found Vera Wang ones by FTD, but I need them for Feb. 19th, and delivery is not available. Does anyone know WHERE else I can find them?
I would also consider calla lillies, and does anyone know when you order if they will tie it for you?

How should I interpret his behavior?!?!?
My BF and I have been together for 2 yrs he has always been good to me but lately we been arguing A LOT! So I sent him flowers today and signed them ur secret admirer. I spoke to him 3 times and even confirmed from the delivery person HE HAS RECEIVED THEM! But he has not mentioned them to me. Should I be concerned?
How should I interpret his behavior?!?!?
No, you shouldn't. He clearly thinks they're from A SECRET ADMIRER, not his g/f playing games. He probably feels weird about telling you, fearing it will cause more tension. He's probably racking his brains (and possibly making an *** of himself) trying to find out who sent them. You should fess up, get the credit for the nice gesture, and work from there on improving things between you.
Reply:TJ is right-besides, if he doesn't even mention it to you,....well...you'd better go talk to him...;) Report It
Reply:Maybe he's embarrassed by your generosity. I agree...you definitely need to talk to him. Report It
Reply:i agree Report It
Reply:His behavior does seem very strange. A normal person would thank you and/or acknowledge the flowers. His lack of acknowledgment could mean many things, but above all it means he's weird and immature. If I were you, I would be on my guard (if you insist on staying in the relationship). Report It
Reply:Trick him up, tell him you were thinking about sending him flowers but you changed you mind so that way he cant say he forgot Report It
Reply:BE AFRAID BE VERY AFRAID
Reply:Sometimes we as females read more into things then they really are. I would suggest just wait. When you point a finger at someone else you are pointing three back at you. Listen, realize what you are really arguing about. The root of the problem. Are you arguing with him because you feel neglected? or are you arguing to avoid something that you already know. Why sign secret admirer? He may think that he really has a secret admirer, that it is not you and to not start another argument with you, he doesn't say anything.
Reply:I think that maybe, it was misinterpreted on his part. Maybe he thought the flowers were from someone else, and didn't mention it because he doesn't want things to get worse. It makes sense, if he wants to stay together, not to scare you by saying you might have competition.
Reply:You're testing his faithfulness in a sneaky way. If he hasn't brought it up to you then well I guess maybe he is considering the possibility of getting with someone else but it sounds like you aren't being honest with him either which may be why your relationship is in trouble in the first place.

Reply:Trick him up, tell him you were thinking about sending him flowers but you changed you mind so that way he cant say he forgot Report It
Reply:BE AFRAID BE VERY AFRAID
Reply:Sometimes we as females read more into things then they really are. I would suggest just wait. When you point a finger at someone else you are pointing three back at you. Listen, realize what you are really arguing about. The root of the problem. Are you arguing with him because you feel neglected? or are you arguing to avoid something that you already know. Why sign secret admirer? He may think that he really has a secret admirer, that it is not you and to not start another argument with you, he doesn't say anything.
Reply:I think that maybe, it was misinterpreted on his part. Maybe he thought the flowers were from someone else, and didn't mention it because he doesn't want things to get worse. It makes sense, if he wants to stay together, not to scare you by saying you might have competition.
Reply:You're testing his faithfulness in a sneaky way. If he hasn't brought it up to you then well I guess maybe he is considering the possibility of getting with someone else but it sounds like you aren't being honest with him either which may be why your relationship is in trouble in the first place.

Should I send flowers?
I just went on a second date with this woman on Satuday night. It consisted of dinner at a really nice restaurant and a movie we both enjoyed. She was talkative and enthusiastic, and I believe she really enjoyed our evening, as did I. We did not talk at all the next day; I made a point of not calling, so as to avoid sounding overeager. Also, I did not go for a goodnight kiss, even though it was our second date. Your thoughts?
Anyway, all that being said, I've been struck with the bright idea of sending her flowers tomorrow. She works late, which means she wouldn't be home in time for a delivery, so I wanna take the gamble and send them to her workplace. It'll be a simple arrangement, like a bouquet - I figure a dozen red roses would be too bold a statement.
Yea or nay?
Should I send flowers?
I would definitely send her flowers, but not red roses, but maybe yellow and pink roses. They are nice, but not too presumptuous.
Reply:I agree with Destiny..women love a chase at times...a challenge... so yes..send the flowers..let her know you were thinking about her..it will melt her! She'll be calling you grinning from ear to ear...Red roses are good..do you happen to know her favorite color of favorite flower, just to personalize it a little bit..
Good luck

Elvis alive?
The only time I feel alive... is when I'm in front of my audience, my people. That's the only time I really feel like I'm human."
"Long after I'm gone, what I did today will be heard by someone. I just want them to get the best of what I had." (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' 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' name is misspelled on his headstone. Elvis' full name is Elvis Aron Presley, but on his grave his middle name is spelled incorrectly with two a'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' name was important to his family.
Elvis' current "resting place" 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'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 "death," 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' 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' 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 "corpse" was loose and falling off. A hairdresser later reported gluing the sideburn back on the body.
Unusual Behavior.
Two hours after Elvis' 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's Book of Numbers and The Autobiography of Yogi which I will explain more about later. After Elvis's death was announced, these books disappeared and were never recovered.
In the weeks preceding his alleged death, Elvis' 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 "adios" 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 "I'll be seeing you on my next tour" kind of good-bye.
Others were intrigued by Elvis' 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' 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' 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'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' 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 "El Lancelot." This had been her pet name for Elvis, and it was a name that no one else knew. Flowers can't be sent from beyond the grave. This was Elvis' way of letting her know that he was not dead, even though he didn't want to be found.
Chiro's Book of Numbers.
Elvis had a fascination with numerology, an interest he fed by reading Chiro'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' 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' body was reportedly found.
Given Elvis' 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'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' life was in danger. He had recently lost $10,000,000 in an airplane/real estate deal with a California based organization called the "Fraternity" 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's car to avoid being seen. Once, when he fell ill in Las Vegas, he couldn'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' 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' favorite books is the spiritual Autobiography of Yogi. One of the central themes of this book is the relinquishing of one'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' experience with the martial arts was such that he could slow his heart rate and breathing in order to feign death.
Elvis' 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' ties to the government through his testimony against the "Fraternity", 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' 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'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' 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'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' 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' managers had the same name. Also, without knowing it, Brewer-Georgio wrote of events in Orion that had actually taken place in Elvis' 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 "Fraternity", the government can make a solid case against the organized crime ring, and RCA, Elvis' family, and Elvis' 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 "not looking good tonight", 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 "image".
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'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' family members and friends were informed of his "death". 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's Report states that the body was found with rigor mortis, while the police report states "unconcious". 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' 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 "death" ?
ABC's 1979 program on the cover up of Elvis' 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' "death" being caused by a heart attack, drug overdose, suffocation in carpeting, suicide and even cancer ! Persons in attendance at Graceland at the time of "death" don'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't Elvis have any new jumpsuits made during 1977 ? The handwriting on the death certificate matched Elvis' 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'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's own family. The man'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 "death". 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 "studying" 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 "drug users" and "pushers" in their undercover work. Elvis could get to anyone if he appeared to be a "user". 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 "great" actor after all. Perhaps he deserves an "Oscar".
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'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, "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."
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 '74, '75, and '76 "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' 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 '74-'76, when did he find time to use drugs himself? Elvis was very good at keeping secrets and living a "double life".
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:
"Elvis Presley'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."
This was a formal statement, when a celebrity'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' 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 "alive", and his family were targets also.
Elvis always had law enforcement officials around him. John O'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 "hoax" 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 "Elvis lookalike, sound alike" at a Memphis theatre. Elvis put on his best "Elvis outfit", strolled in and mingled with the clones, doing his best "Hey, baby". Afterwards, he came back to Graceland laughing. He tried out and lost!
Elvis and his mother'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's "Farewell to the King", the King says "I died once. I had to be willing to give up everything, even the will to live." 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't know about.
In a syndicated newspaper across the nation on June 5, 1990, an article headlined "Elvis Lives, At Least On Census Form." 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 "Elvis is Alive and Living in Kalamazoo." 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'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's Robo Cop, a cop is killed, but didn'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 "message" 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 "We'll be back". The sound track is on Curb Records, which is the same label as "Spelling on the Stone". There were some song lyrics which were: "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." There was a scene in the movie where Eric asks Debbie "Why didn't you tell him that you saw him (the alien)?" She says, "Because no one would believe me."
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'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'n'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's life, going back to distant memories of watching him above the waist on Ed Sullivan or hearing "Hound Dog" 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 'window of his soul' to his fans all over the world.
Thank you, Elvis! Remember you are always on our minds. "TCB FOREVER!

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:Jeez, he's dead already. What would be the purpose of such an involved and grand hoax? It wasn't like he needed to cheat insurance companies so his family would be provided for.
Anyway, if you like fantasies, watch "Bubba Hotep". It is an amazing allegory on lives and what might have been with Elvis in the lead, explaining why he's not dead. I really love it.
Reply:Yes he is dead.
You just wasted an hour of your life on this question.
I'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 'ooh I wonder' 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 'dead' 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!
Reply:Of course he's dead he died of constapation!!!! (which is an embarrising way to die if you ask me)
"Long after I'm gone, what I did today will be heard by someone. I just want them to get the best of what I had." (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' 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' name is misspelled on his headstone. Elvis' full name is Elvis Aron Presley, but on his grave his middle name is spelled incorrectly with two a'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' name was important to his family.
Elvis' current "resting place" 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'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 "death," 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' 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' 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 "corpse" was loose and falling off. A hairdresser later reported gluing the sideburn back on the body.
Unusual Behavior.
Two hours after Elvis' 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's Book of Numbers and The Autobiography of Yogi which I will explain more about later. After Elvis's death was announced, these books disappeared and were never recovered.
In the weeks preceding his alleged death, Elvis' 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 "adios" 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 "I'll be seeing you on my next tour" kind of good-bye.
Others were intrigued by Elvis' 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' 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' 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'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' 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 "El Lancelot." This had been her pet name for Elvis, and it was a name that no one else knew. Flowers can't be sent from beyond the grave. This was Elvis' way of letting her know that he was not dead, even though he didn't want to be found.
Chiro's Book of Numbers.
Elvis had a fascination with numerology, an interest he fed by reading Chiro'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' 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' body was reportedly found.
Given Elvis' 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'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' life was in danger. He had recently lost $10,000,000 in an airplane/real estate deal with a California based organization called the "Fraternity" 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's car to avoid being seen. Once, when he fell ill in Las Vegas, he couldn'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' 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' favorite books is the spiritual Autobiography of Yogi. One of the central themes of this book is the relinquishing of one'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' experience with the martial arts was such that he could slow his heart rate and breathing in order to feign death.
Elvis' 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' ties to the government through his testimony against the "Fraternity", 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' 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'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' 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'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' 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' managers had the same name. Also, without knowing it, Brewer-Georgio wrote of events in Orion that had actually taken place in Elvis' 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 "Fraternity", the government can make a solid case against the organized crime ring, and RCA, Elvis' family, and Elvis' 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 "not looking good tonight", 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 "image".
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'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' family members and friends were informed of his "death". 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's Report states that the body was found with rigor mortis, while the police report states "unconcious". 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' 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 "death" ?
ABC's 1979 program on the cover up of Elvis' 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' "death" being caused by a heart attack, drug overdose, suffocation in carpeting, suicide and even cancer ! Persons in attendance at Graceland at the time of "death" don'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't Elvis have any new jumpsuits made during 1977 ? The handwriting on the death certificate matched Elvis' 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'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's own family. The man'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 "death". 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 "studying" 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 "drug users" and "pushers" in their undercover work. Elvis could get to anyone if he appeared to be a "user". 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 "great" actor after all. Perhaps he deserves an "Oscar".
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'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, "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."
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 '74, '75, and '76 "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' 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 '74-'76, when did he find time to use drugs himself? Elvis was very good at keeping secrets and living a "double life".
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:
"Elvis Presley'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."
This was a formal statement, when a celebrity'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' 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 "alive", and his family were targets also.
Elvis always had law enforcement officials around him. John O'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 "hoax" 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 "Elvis lookalike, sound alike" at a Memphis theatre. Elvis put on his best "Elvis outfit", strolled in and mingled with the clones, doing his best "Hey, baby". Afterwards, he came back to Graceland laughing. He tried out and lost!
Elvis and his mother'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's "Farewell to the King", the King says "I died once. I had to be willing to give up everything, even the will to live." 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't know about.
In a syndicated newspaper across the nation on June 5, 1990, an article headlined "Elvis Lives, At Least On Census Form." 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 "Elvis is Alive and Living in Kalamazoo." 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'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's Robo Cop, a cop is killed, but didn'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 "message" 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 "We'll be back". The sound track is on Curb Records, which is the same label as "Spelling on the Stone". There were some song lyrics which were: "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." There was a scene in the movie where Eric asks Debbie "Why didn't you tell him that you saw him (the alien)?" She says, "Because no one would believe me."
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'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'n'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's life, going back to distant memories of watching him above the waist on Ed Sullivan or hearing "Hound Dog" 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 'window of his soul' to his fans all over the world.
Thank you, Elvis! Remember you are always on our minds. "TCB FOREVER!

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:Jeez, he's dead already. What would be the purpose of such an involved and grand hoax? It wasn't like he needed to cheat insurance companies so his family would be provided for.
Anyway, if you like fantasies, watch "Bubba Hotep". It is an amazing allegory on lives and what might have been with Elvis in the lead, explaining why he's not dead. I really love it.
Reply:Yes he is dead.
You just wasted an hour of your life on this question.
I'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 'ooh I wonder' 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 'dead' 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!
Reply:Of course he's dead he died of constapation!!!! (which is an embarrising way to die if you ask me)
