Mary asks…
A question to Christians about the Creation story?
So God made man, animals, trees, etc. and put them all in the Garden of Eden and the only rule for humans was that they couldn’t eat the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. Now, God is supposed to be omniscient so he knew that they would indeed eat from the Tree of Knowledge. So then why would he punish them for eating from it? He created them with the ability to disobey him, he put them in a situation with easy access to the Tree of knowledge, and he had foreknowledge that they would disobey his rules. And yet he did nothing to stop them, he didn’t put up any warnings or obstructions between Adam and Eve and the Tree, he didn’t tell them that an evil snake would try and tempt them, he just sat back knowing that they would sin and prepared to punish them for it even though he could have easily stopped it. How is this fair? An analogy for this is if I gave a kid a a delicious piece of cake and told him not to eat it even though I knew my diabolical cousin would come in as soon as I left the room and convince the kid that eating it was the right thing to do. And then I sit back and wait for him to eat the cake and when he does I beat him and throw him out of my house, even though I easily could have stopped it from happening at any point or at least warned them. So why would he do this? And is it fair?
The black atheist has spoken.
GardenersCardiff answers:
Your account is not entirely accurate, but I’ll answer within its confines…
You fail to understand that it is not about man but God. God is not one-dimensional as man is, who must choose between being one thing OR another, and is in fact all of His attributes equally and completely, simultaneously. Therefore, both evil and good in this world show His glory. And it was precisely to show His glory that is the purpose for creation itself. None of what transpired was a surprise to Him, in fact, if read in order, it is shown that He put the signs in the stars (day 4) of what was to come before the rest of what was made was even made! (See NASA photos of the center of the black hole in “The Darling”, one of our neighboring galaxies that’s situated in such a way that they were finally able to look directly into a black hole and take a photo of one of the “signs” placed there on day 4 of creation!)
Also I’d challenge you to read the whole chapters through again of Genesis 1 and 2. Some believe all was created and placed in a Garden, while others believe there is a gap between those first two chapters and all was created sometime prior to making a Garden and placing his chosen Adam and Eve within it.
Lastly, you have a childish perspective that the world is somehow supposed to be “fair”, and that “fairness” is to be extended only to mankind. It’s time to grow up and stop putting limited finite and childish views on that which is far higher and Infinite than that. Or don’t…He gives you that right, but remember, He also tells you what the consequences of that choice is; and if you haven’t learned anything else from “the creation story”, He abides by His rules regardless of what we think…you see, as pointed out already…it’s His story and show, not ours.

Myklia’s Diary (newly wed) Long But Funny?
Dear Diary,
Monday: Now home from honeymoon and settled in our new home, it’s fun to cook for Bob. Today I made an angel food cake and the recipe said, “Beat 12 eggs separately.” Well, I didn’t have enough bowls to do that, so I had to borrow enough bowls to beat the eggs in. The cake turned out fine.
Tuesday: We wanted a fruit salad for supper. The recipe said, serve without dressing.” So I didn’t dress. But, Bob happened to bring a friend home for supper that night. Did they ever look startled when I served the salad.
Wednesday: I decided to serve rice and found a recipe which said, “Wash thoroughly before steaming the rice.” So I heated some water and took a bath before steaming the rice. Sounded kinda silly in the middle of the week. I can’t say it improved the rice any.
Thursday: Today Bob asked for salad again. I tried a new recipe. It said, “Prepare ingredients, then toss on a bed of lettuce one hour before serving.” I hunted all over the garden by my mom’s. So I tossed my salad into the bed of lettuce and stood over there one hour so the dog would not take it. Bob came over and asked if I felt all right. I wonder why?
Friday: Today I found an easy recipe for cookies. It said, “Put all ingredients in a bowl and beat it.” Beat it I did, right over to my mom’s house. There must have been something wrong with the recipe, because when I came back home again it looked the same as when I left it.
Saturday: Bob went shopping today and brought home a chicken. He asked me to dress it for Sunday. I’m sure I don’t know how hens dress for Sunday. I never noticed back on the farm, but I found a doll dress and some little shoes. I thought the hen looked real cute. When Bob saw it, I wondered why he counted to 10.
Sunday: Today Bob’s folks came to dinner. I wanted to serve roast, but all we had in the icebox, was hamburger. So I put it in the oven and set the controls for roast. Must be the oven, because it still came out hamburger.
Good night, Dear Diary. This has been an exciting week. I am eager for tomorrow to come, so I can try a new recipe on Bob.

Carol asks…
Some questions on the this article about Benjamin Franklin…?
From Time Magazine:
” The Spies Around Franklin
The system was remarkably simple. Every Tuesday evening, detailed reports of what had transpired in Ben Franklin’s French household made their way, in invisible ink, to the southern perimeter of the Tuileries Gardens. There the missives were stuffed into a bottle and lowered by string into a deep hollow at the foot of a tree. After dark the British ambassador’s secretary fished them out to be dispatched to London and deposited his side of the correspondence under a neighboring boxwood.
Franklin was encircled by spies from the minute he set foot in Paris to solicit support for the Revolutionary War. On all minds the burning question was whether France intended to assist the rebel colonies, and if so, when and how it would do so. The French monarchy had its own efficient news service in thousands of paid informants who reported from their favorite cafés, their mistresses’ boudoirs, their medical rounds, their hotel desks, to police chief Jean-Charles Lenoir. Among Lenoir’s roundups was a weekly catalog of the city’s sexual escapades. This was a city of which it was said that when two Parisians talked, a third inevitably listened. Lenoir was among the first to trail the celebrated American on his arrival, sounding a note of uneasiness about his potent celebrity. The chief had serious competition: Lord Stormont, the British ambassador in Paris, pledged to observe the “veteran of mischief” as closely and as inconspicuously as he could. As that was not easy for an accredited ambassador, British intelligence stepped in.
The British agents reported to an immensely gifted master spy who spoke better French than most Parisians and whom even Lenoir’s men found difficult to shadow. America might claim some credit for Paul Wentworth’s spectacular performance: he was a New Hampshire native. His agents were a varied but inventive bunch, filching diaries and diving into closets. They proved recklessly unable to resist Paris’ charms. One agent, as fond of back stairways as of disreputable addresses, never left Paris without attending a drunken orgy. In the course of one such evening, he entrusted his confidential documents to a more sober reveler, who saw that they made their way to Versailles.
Franklin knew himself to be the object of what he aptly termed “violent curiosities” but at home insisted that he had no intention of speaking other than the truth or of implementing any particular security precautions — or even of dismissing his valet if he were “a spy, as probably he is.” Against all counsel, he stayed his course; he reasoned in part that the quantity of information in itself provided a kind of smoke screen. His apathy about security came at a price. Armed with detailed inventories of French munitions bound for America, the British were repeatedly able to confront the French with evidence of this collusion.
Meanwhile, the weekly white-ink dispatches arrived like clockwork in London, where, moistened with a chemical solution, their hidden messages appeared in red. And the source? Decades after his death, he was revealed to have been a perfectly loyal servant — of both sides. The consummate double agent was the brilliant Edward Bancroft, Franklin’s secretary and one man who had had his confidence all along.
http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2012113_2012104_2012012,00.html ”
1. About the second paragraph: Did the French spied on Franklin too? If they did, What were the French looking from Franklin?
2. About the third paragraph: Who is the gifted master spy mentioned in the first line? ” Paul Wentworth ” ? Why should the Americans claim credit for his skill? And the reveler mentioned in the last sentence who ” who saw that they made their way to Versailles. ” — what’s his role in this subject?
3. From the fourth paragraph : What does the last sentence mean?
GardenersCardiff answers:
1. Yes, it says the police chief himself followed Franklin. That the French monarchy had 1000’s of paid informants that watched everybody. They spied on Franklin because they spied on everyone important and he was a celebrity.
2. Yes, Paul Wentworth was the British master spy. The Americans could take some credit for his talents because he was born and grew up in American New Hampshire (which was then of course still a British colony).
The reveler mentioned just refers to the prior sentences when it talks about Wentworth’s secret service of British spies in Paris, it says though they were so successful they often got drunk and attended Paris orgies….the one guy being too drunk to carry out a mission that time, having to give the secret papers to someone else to deliver.
3. The paragraph talks about that Franklin knew about all the different spies watching him but refused to hide, do things in secret etc. Because he thought it would make him look bad and they would still get the same information anyway. So, he did things openly. The last sentence means that although a good strategy Franklin’s ‘openness’ provided the British with easy knowledge of military supplies France was sending to the Americans, which kept getting the French in trouble with the British because it gave the British proof of the shipments, and the British complained to the French.

Donald asks…
Can my dads 2nd wife take half his property, even though he bought it 15 yrs before they were together?
My parents bought a property together over 15 yrs ago. They have since divorced and my dad has now been remarried for about 3 yrs. The marriage is not going well and my dad is thinking of divorce.
His new wife hasnt made any financial contributions towards the property but has remodelled the garden and painted the inside of the house (& I must say the work she did has decreased the house value!)
Im curious to know, if they divorce, how much of the property is she entitled to? They have no kids together, but she has a daughter from a previous relationship living with them. He is not a legal guardian. She also moved her 2 sons (in their 20’s) into the house.
Would it be easy for him to kick them all out of the house?
What can I do to help him?
She doesnt deserve any of my dads property, she has previously taken 3 partners to the cleaners, the gold digging so & so!
Not 1 of our family members or my dads friends like her.
What options do we have to get rid of her & so my dad doesnt go broke divorcing her & losing his property?
If it was in mine & my sisters names as well as dads, can she take it? Im pretty sure were named on the papers…..or in a will or something.
Please help me! Anyone!!! Im scared my dad will suffer dramatically from this woman & her money hungry ways!!!!!
GardenersCardiff answers:
It depends upon what it says in their prenuptial agreement.
Didn’t have one? Then it’s rare that a judge will say, “She gets the house/he gets the cars.” Generally the lawyers (who are the only ones who win in a divorce) will arrive at an amount of money she will get in a settlement, and one way or the other, through cashing in investments or agreeing on an amount of alimony or whatever, your dad will have to cough up that amount.
He should avoid filing for divorce. HOWEVER, he can make her want to leave and file. NOT by being cruel or abusive (and it sounds like he wouldn’t do that anyway) but by making it less fun. Cut her off from money. She has her own assets from her previous guys, right? Don’t fund her shopping sprees or other spending habits.
Since he’s not connected to any of the children legally, if she has her own assets, he might be okay because he can easily prove he owns the house, he’s always made all the payments, and while she might recoup some of what she may have spent on the garden, if it is extensive, paint is cheap.
He probably would be okay. However, if at all possible, he should wait it out for her to decide to leave and file for divorce so he can say, “She left me. Since that’s what she chose, she should live with the consequences of that decision.”
If he has an emotional connection to the daughter, and she is a minor child, he might agree to pay her a nominal lump sum toward her future education and wish her well. If all the “kids” are snotty to him, then it’s not necessary.
Betty asks…
Overwhelmed with tomatoes!?
My tomato garden is overwhelming me! I have never grown tomato before and certainly didn’t expect the plants to give me so many. I have made a few salads and used them in sandwiches but I’m not sure what else to make. I would give some away, but I don’t necessarily like my neighbors much and friends and family aren’t near by. Any great, easy recipes or ideas?
GardenersCardiff answers:
Not sure if you’d consider this a “salad” but, I do love Tomatoes, Mozzerella, and Basil. What you do is you cut a few slices of tomatoes, and some mozzerella. If you also have fresh basil in your garden, use that, but if you don’t, it should be pretty easy to find it in a supermarket. Then what I do is I place the mozzerella on the tomato, then the basil on top, and drizzle with a little bit of olive oil and crushed black pepper. You can also make Gazpacho, it’s a delicious soup, usually served cold, but sometimes I warm mine up. You cook the tomatoes, like you would a soup, and add heavy cream, oil and I like spices and herbs such as white pepper, salt, rosemarry, and thyme. Then, puree it! It’s so good! Also, a romaine salad! Chicken, chopped/diced tomatoes, romaine/iceburg lettuce, and ranch dressing. Yum! Or, a grilled plate, grilled chicken breast, with a grilled tomato slice, and tomato sauce, and a side of rice. You could also bake some fish with pomegranite and tomato sauce, just puree some tomatoes and pomegranite seeds (those little niblets) and add salt, and pepper, then cook and pour over the baked fish when done. This is really good with Tilapia and other white fish. Pasta is another thing– cook some tomato sauce with meat and cheese (in the sauce) and then pour over the chosen pasta. As for sandwiches, put it on white bread. Put a deli meat, cheese, tomatoes, and any toppings and/or veggies on white bread, then put it in a panini maker. You could also can them by boiling and peeling them. And then putting them in cans. Or, you could make a grilled veggie plate by seasoning them with salt, pepper, and oil. Or there’s always the classic tomato soup with grilled cheese–just make the gazpacho recipie, heat it up, then make some grilled cheese-or with saltines OR crackers or chips. Or just eat them fresh! =) hope I helped!

what does this dream mean ?
I am running around a garden late in the middle of
the night and my boss a gangster is teaching a your
man to shot and all about espionage.Now i seem to be running through a garden of a friends i loved as a kid.I can hide so well and they seem to walk right past me and not even notice me hiding in the bushes or under tree’s.Now the gangstar says to the kid lets actually kill not realising i am so close to him.
i am shocked so i run through the gardens on to the
street where i see a garden i can hide in.
i run into the garden and i run towards a fence that
is made of metal.i see this fence and realise it would
be easy for me to get over but i know that it would be
sore and uncomfortable to climb over so i just stand
in the shadow far from them waiting for day.
Now as i look to my left i see a woman wearing a berry
cap and black glasses so that suggest to me she is
french and she cants see a thing.i know her or trust her and she walks around to the front of the house and we talk about>>>
4 children that
the gangstar had got rid of.
we lean over a soft a hedge and we see an image and
she narrates what happens to me,
Four kids seem to be surrounded by an 40s or 50s
styled dressed people in japan or china.they seem to
be rich men or i dont know.
they start wrapping the kids in paper and eventually
the kids look like cartoons very 3D like and so
sad.there made of paper .i seem to end up finding my
way there and as i try to find them i have to pull
down pages and pop up pages out of books to get to
them.eventually i give in and take a route in the book
to the professors library where the book is not
finished,i pull the page down and on the back there
are bottles and booksi get annoyed and start wripping
the pages and then i just slam the book shut.the book
falls over and dissapears.then the four kids are
standing on stools still like cartoon 3d like figures
and they all seem sad.
thats where i wake up

I don’t believe dreams mean anything. I think they’re just a melange of our recent and distant memories stirred up when our brains hit the off switch at night. Lucid dreams are rare, and this one sounds about as lucid as my dreams. Last night I dreamt I ate a huge chocolate marshmallow with sprinklings of exotic flowers. This morning I woke up without a pillow and a mouthful of feathers. I don’t know what it means either, but I’m on a down-free diet.

BLOND COOKBOOK;
[Monday]It’s fun to cook for Tom. Today I made angel food cake. The recipe said beat 12 eggs separately. The neighbors were nice enough to loan me some extra bowls.
[Tuesday] Tom wanted fruit salad for supper. The recipe said serve without dressing. So I didn’t dress. What a surprise when Tom brought a friend home for supper.
[Wednesday] A good day for rice. The recipe said wash thoroughly before steaming the rice. It seemed kind of silly but I took a bath anyway. I can’t say it improved the rice any.
[Thursday] Today Tom asked for salad again I tried a new recipe. It said prepare ingredients; lay on a bed of lettuce one hour before serving. Tom asked me why I was rolling around in the garden..
[Friday] I found an easy recipe for cookies. It said put the ingredients in a bowl and beat it. There must have been something wrong with this recipe. When I got back, everything was the same as when I left.
********* Tom did the shopping today and brought home a chicken. He asked me to dress it for Sunday. I don’t have any clothes that fit it, and for some reason Tom keeps counting to ten.
[Sunday] Tom’s folks came to dinner. I wanted to serve roast but all I had was hamburger. Suddenly I had a flash of genius. I put the hamburger in the oven and set the controls for roast. It still came out hamburger, much to my disappointment.
GOOD NIGHT DEAR DIARY. This has been a very exciting week! I am eager for tomorrow to come so I can try out a new recipe on Tom. If I can talk Tom into buying a bigger oven, I would like to surprise him with a chocolate moose.

Ken asks…
has anyone ever noticed how beautiful the Quran is?
it has amazing verses which make me cry every time i read it like such:
“It is He who created the heavens and the earth in true proportions: the day He saith, “Be,” behold! it is. His word is the truth. His will be the dominion the day the trumpet will be blown. He knoweth the unseen as well as that which is open. For He is the Wise, well acquainted with all things.”
– (the Holy Quran 6:73)
“But for such as fear the time when they will stand before the Judgment Seat of their Lord, there will be two Gardens-
Then which of the favors of your Lord will ye deny?
Abounding in branches;-
Then which of the favors of your Lord will ye deny?
In them each will be two Springs flowing free;
Then which of the favors of your Lord will ye deny?
In them will be Fruits of every kind, two and two.
Then which of the favors of your Lord will ye deny?
They will recline on Carpets, whose inner linings will be of rich brocade: the Fruit of the Gardens will be near and easy of reach.
Then which of the favors of your Lord will ye deny?”
– (the Holy Quran 55:46-55)
“Read! In the name of thy Lord who createth. Createth man from a (mere) drop of blood. Read, and thy Lord is most bounteous. Who teacheth man by the pen, teacheth man what he knew not.”
– (the Holy Quran 96:1-5)
but they are so much more beautiful in Arabic!
NO CONTRADICTIONS!
but i found thousands of contradictions in the Bible and Torah!
how can anyone believe that the Bible and the Torah are the exact words of God when there a man made contradictions in it??
they used to be the word of God until man decided to play with it.
kinda like a game of telephone.
(ACTUALLY, JACK [AND EVERYONE ELSE])
the Quran actually doesnt support violence AT ALL! like not one bit, unless it talks about war. i thought so too at first, im not going to lie. Until i actually read it and alot of hadiths and i saw the beauty of Islam, it cleansed my heart. also something came into me in a dream and showed me the truth. Alhamdullilah i converted yesterday, officially. i play that you see the truth too.
GardenersCardiff answers:
Nonsense. There are plenty of contradictions in the Quran. You just choose not to acknowledge them, which seems pretty intellectually dishonest to me…and ascribing all of them to translation errors is silly.
Pretty language and engaging imagery do not equal factual truth.
It’s just a book, just like the Bible and the Torah. A book that someone made up.

Survival seeds for a crisis garden?
I was watching a 1993 documentary called, “the great depression” and in it they were talking about the government giving out whats called “survival seeds” and the people made what was called a crisis garden or a victory garden. Well i wanted to procure a set of seeds preselected for the above purpose and i googled it and it was talking about some other crap (Survival seed bank scam or some irrelevant stuff) and i couldnt find a list of seeds on would want in the event of a food shortage..
Can someone please provide me with a list of seeds that grow in tropical climate like South Florida that would be easy and quick to grow.
Thanks in advance for the mature responses,
Ronjohn

The actual list of victory garden (1942) seeds
http://www.victoryseeds.com/TheVictoryGarden/vg_seeds.shtml
You can find most of those at any garden center – I’ve seen many of them at the dollar store. The exact variety isn’t going to matter…
Keep in mind, when it comes to gardening, quick means 2-3 months (ok, radishes a month)
Store them in a dry place where they wont over heat and they will keep for at least a few years (after a few years the germination rate goes down)

I loved it! Thought you’d enjoy this one:
This blonde decides one day that she is sick and tired of all
these blonde jokes and how all blondes are perceived as stupid,
so she decides to show her husband that blondes really are
smart. While her husband is off at work, she decides that she is
going to paint a couple of rooms in the house.
The next day, right after her husband leaves for work, she gets
down to the task at hand. Her husband arrives home at 5:30 and
smells the distinctive smell of paint. He walks into the living
room and finds his wife lying on the floor in a pool of sweat.
He notices that she is wearing a ski jacket and a fur coat at
the same time.
He goes over and asks her if she is OK. She replies yes. He asks
what she is doing. She replies that she wanted to prove to him
that not all blonde women are dumb and she wanted to do it by
painting the house. He then asks her why she has a ski jacket
over her fur coat. She replies that she was reading the
directions on the paint can and they said….
FOR BEST RESULTS, PUT ON TWO COATS.

Busch Gardens Fun Rides?
Hey! Ok so me and my friends are going to Busch Gardens this friday and i wanted to know what rides were fun but not to exotic! Cause i hate roller coasters. Like the ones for easy riders?
So far i made a list plz tell me about how they are?
Der Werbelwind
Train
Trade wind
Katapult
Carousel
Bumper Cars
The Aeronaut Sky ride
Teacups
Roman Rapids
Corkscrew Hill
Waves Swinger
Forest O’ Fun
Clydesdales
Im 13 and most of my friends are 13 or 14 are we are going to the one in Virgina.
GardenersCardiff answers:
I would not recommend roman rapids until about middle of june as you will get wet
the Clydesdale’s are for show only and not a ride. Pretty though.
All others are fun including the steam powered trains.
The sky ride is a must as you get a perfect view of the park and can plan your next move.
The boat ride is on a smallish lake but a lot of wildlife can be seen as the boats are very unobtrusive
OPINION the best food in the park will be found in new france -smokey barbecue.
While you will have great fun without ever coming close to a coaster these are amoung the top coasters world wide should you change your mind you won’t be sorry
have fun

Charles asks…
Charts for my 13 year old..?
Hi , I am a mother to a 13 year old. To those who commented on my previous question you will understand this more but to those who have not seen my last question I advice you to do so , you will then understand this question fully. As some of you may know my daughter’s behaviour has been a disgrace , her respect for others is disgusting and her attitude is filthy. I enforced some strict rules last week..( some of you may know the rules , it was on my last question) To those who don’t here are the punishment’s!
.Yesterday I took her laptop out of her room , the tv and every luxury that is in her room , including make up , ipad,ipod, playstation and every other technology that she enjoys using.
. I stripped her bedroom down , the only things that are there is her bed , a rug and her wardrobe with no expensive clothing in it!
. Her phone has been taken away and she is banned from using the internet, she can only use it for educational reasons.
. I now take her to school in the morning and make sure she goes into school.
. My best friend picks her up from school and take her home , she is grounded after school and has to stay in her room. My best friend keeps an eye on her so she does not get out of her room.
.I make sure she does ALL her homework , also she is banned from going out with her friends and I am not buying her ANY thing till she changes her behaviour.
. I make her go to her nan’s house on weekends and help her out , she lawns the garden and does all the chores.
.I have made a chore chart and she does it after school.
These punishments have been going on for a week now and I am hoping for her to change her behaviour! On my last punishment it says “I have made a chore chart and she does it after school” , I wanted to ask are these chores suitable for a 13 year old and do you think this will make her change her attitude towards others , here are the rules she does:
. After school she does ALL the dishes by hand and cleans the kitchen .e.g. cleaning the table and the cooker , throwing away rubbish as well.
. After she does the dishes she sweeps up the hallway and dining room , she then mops the floor and dusts the ornaments.
. She also has to clean her room and give me all her dirty laundry , she hoovers her room and organizes her desk.
Her wardrobe should ONLY have clean clothes in and all the clothes should be neatly put away!
When she does all the chores I go around and check everything she did , I first go to the kitchen and check if the dishes are clean and the table. Then I check if she hoovered ( there should NOT be any crumb’s or dust)I check if she mopped the floor well. I check her wardrobe and if there is ANY clothes that are not neatly put away I take the clothes out and then make her put them away. If I see any dirty laundry around her room she gets grounded in the weekend.
All the chores that I set her has to be done up to my standards if she makes a sloppy job if it I make her do it ALL over again!
What do you all think of the chores that I set her , also to those who have just seen my punishments What do you think of them … are they toostrictt and will the chores make her change.
PS: If you are going to make any snobby and rude remarks then I advice you to NOT say anything .
Also I advice you to take notice to this before you say why are you asking this question again!
I AM NOT ASKING THIS QUESTION AGAIN , THIS QUESTION IS ABOUT THE CHORES THAT I MADE FOR MYDAUGHTERR ALSO I WROTE THEPUNISHMENTSS AGAIN BECAUSE TO THOSE WHO HAVE NOT READ MY LAST QUESTION THEY DONT HAVE TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT MY OLD QUESTION I MADE IT EASIER FOR THEM BY TELLING THEM AGAIN!
Thank you for reading this!
GardenersCardiff answers:
The chores sound fine. However, the overall feeling is one of anger, distrust and resentment. I did not see your first post so I’m not sure on the background. I would encourage you to find ANYTHING your daughter does right and go overboard with excitement and enthusiasm for her efforts. She needs to see some positive feedback and expression of love.
Robert asks…
Could you please check and improve my sentences?
In Churchtown, Dublin, Ireland, a burglar sneaked into a car which was parked over there and burgled a cell phone and back bag and fled from the spot. In order to check things out whether the mobile phone was working fine or not he took a picture of himself on the cell phone. He then sneaked into a house nearby and when the man inside the house alerted the in mates by alarming “Thief, Thief” the burglar rushed outside and fled away without knowing he accidentally dropped the mobile phone on the garden. The owner of the house took the mobile phone and handed over to police. The burglar made the job easy for the police by taking his photo of himself on the phone. The police searched him for a month eventually nabbed him at the streets of Dublin.
Guys, this is my current level of English. Please tell me how I am doing, so that I can improve.
GardenersCardiff answers:
Just a few changes:
In Churchtown, Dublin, Ireland, a burglar broke into a parked car and stole a cellphone and backpack, then fled the scene. To check whether the mobile phone was working, he took a picture of himself using the phone. He then sneaked into a house nearby. When the man inside alerted others in the house by shouting “thief, thief,” the burglar quickly fled without realizing he had accidentally dropped the cellphone in the garden. The owner of the house handed the phone over to police. The burglar had made the job of capturing him by taking a photo of himself with the phone. For about a month, the police searched for him, eventually nabbing him on the streets of Dublin.
EDIT: Concerning the word “sneaked,” the online Merriam Webster Dictionary says: “From its earliest appearance in print in the late 19th century as a dialectal and probably uneducated form, the past and past participle snuck has risen to the status of standard and to approximate equality with sneaked. It is most common in the United States and Canada but has also been spotted in British and Australian English.”
Your verb conjugation and sentence structure are great. Most of your problems were not knowing a few of the best words to use. For example, “inmates” are prisoners in jail. “At” is not used with streets. American English would use “on the streets.” British English might use “in the streets.” I’m not sure. You did well.

Monday:
It’s fun to cook for Tom. Today I made angel food cake. The recipe said beat 12 eggs separately. The neighbors loaned me the extra bowls.
Tuesday:
Tom wanted fruit salad for supper. The recipe said serve without dressing. What a surprise when Tom brought a friend home to dinner and they found me naked!
Wednesday:
A good day for rice. The recipe said wash thoroughly before steaming the rice so I took a bath. Can’t say it helped the rice.
Thursday:
Tried a new salad recipe. It said “prepare ingredients; lay on a bed of lettuce one hour before serving.” Tom asked why I was rolling around the garden.
Friday:
Found easy recipe for cookies that said “put the ingredients in a bowl and beat it.” Something went wrong. When I got home, everything was just as I left it.
Saturday:
Tom went shopping today, brought home a chicken, and asked me to dress it for Sunday. I didn’t have any clothes that fit it. For some reason, Tom keeps counting to ten.
Sunday: Tom’s folks came to dinner. I wanted to serve roast but all I had was hamburger. Suddenly, I had a flash of genius. I put the hamburger in the oven and set the controls for roast. How disappointing. When it came out, it was still hamburger!

Easy to make/cheap Birthday ideas for mom?!?
My moms birthday is in a few days and i have nothing planed, and i dont have a present. I need easy to make or nice cheap gift ideas for her. I only have like 10 or 15$ and i still have to get the cake stuff so it cant be exspensive.
I cant soe or knit or anything like that, i can cook and i was gonna make her breakfast and dinner ect, and please dont say draw her something i can draw but im not super good and i was already gonna make her a cool hand made book mark since she likes to read. Dont say buy her a book couse she only reads them once and give them away so its kinda pointless.
Ok so, she likes gardening, and craft stuff, she hates cooking, and i dont really know anything else. Dont say a relaxing thing either cause i have simblings and relaxing is kinda out of the qestion.
So anything i can make, something creative, or something cheap i can get her that she will like and can use for a while?
Bonus qestion!:
Any easy to make birthday cake designs? Or simple dinner ideas or something :/
10 points to best answer!?
GardenersCardiff answers:
There are some things you could make for your mom right at home. You could bake her a cake, make a collage of pictures of the two of you as you were growing up, make her some jewelry out of old jewelry that you have lying around. You could write her a poem and recite it to her. Try making her a beautiful birthday card and putting the poem inside of it. You could print out a picture of the two of you when you were a baby, paste it on a piece of cardboard, then cut into little pieces to make it into a jigsaw puzzle for her to put together. These are little things that moms love (myself included!). You could also say that you will make her dinner and watch a chick flick together just the two of you. Good luck!

Can you help me estimate my costs? Easy Points!?
We are planning a family style dinner that we are catering ourselves. The dinner will be made up of: Penne Pasta with mixed vegetables in a Garlic Cream Sauce, topped with grilled chicken; Tossed Garden Salad, Dinner rolls. We will be buying the ingredients from Costco or BJs Wholesale.
What do you think the estimated costs of the food would be? We have about 100 guests – Mostly Adults.
Thank you in advance.
I’m in VA, if that helps also.
GardenersCardiff answers:
I don’t think that you would be safe in doing a per head count for cost in thisinstance i honestly think u could get everything since you are buying bulk would be no more than 250$ -300$ tops the chicken is going to be the most expensive but u could buy frozen bags that are pretty cheap cause u would need less than a breast for each person but good luck,congratulations, and great idea!!!!
