Milestone Birthday Ideas, a Roast
by: Mike Hamilton
Milestone Birthdays can be a lot of fun.
One idea for celebrating a milestone is a roast. One of my favorite themes for a birthday roast is a memorial.
The first thing you will want to do is send out the birthday invitations formatted like an obituary.
A cheesy black and white picture of a younger version of the decedent adds a touch of legitimacy to the document.
If you or any of your cronies have a flair for creative writing this can be a very warm and funny tribute, as well as a keepsake for all attendees.
The location for the roast or memorial should be as somber as possible and decorated as such.
Be sure to greet the guests in your with your most solemn and understated demeanor.
Just before the festivities begin have your pall bearers bring in the cake, unlit.
Make it as realistic as possible and give the pall bearers the honor of having a place of honor once the cake is brought in and placed in the appropriately.
The roasters are your eulogists and your obituary will set the tone for what tack they take.
If you want to make the guest of honor wildly successful than you will want to set that down in the obituary, If you want him to be a depraved soul who it will be difficult to find something nice to say, then that is something you want to include.
Liberties and poetic license should be the order of the day.
The way the honoree met his untimely demise should fit with his interests or something somewhat unique to them.
Most of us remember the Mary Tyler Moore episode where Chuckles the clown was killed by a rogue elephant while dressed as a peanut.
What more could you ask for in humor or irony?
Another idea is using cap guns for a 21 gun salute.
This could be used if the honoree met his end in some form of ?heroics?.
Friends and family could be bogus people from his fictional biography.
Additionally be sure to hand out black armbands at the door if folks did not have enough foresight to bring their own.
Black crepe paper is a good cheap way to supply these.
Black party hats with veils made of black pantyhose or some other translucent material can also be made.
A milestone birthday roast disguised as a memorial can be and should be a lot of fun.
You will have fun planning it and producing it, and if done well it will be a birthday party that folks will talk about for years to come.

You Are Not Just A Mother, You Are YOU First!
You Are Not Just A Mother, You Are YOU First!
by: Tonya Ramsey
Mothers face many challenges in today?s world.
They carry the responsibility of many roles. Through these roles we become different things to different people.
Sometimes we get divided over having a career and having a families or find conflict between the different jobs that we try to do.
Making the question ?Who am I?? even harder to answer.
It grows harder because mothers see this little person that looks up at them with innocent trusting eyes, mommy is everything to that little one.
She makes the hurt from boo-boos go away with a kiss, chases the monsters from under the bed away, and rocks them after a bad dream.
Every mother takes that responsibility and carries it with her no matter where she goes. It is an awesome responsibility of caring for this wonderful little person and being mom is always on the mind. As much as it is wonderful...

Stylish Hats For Bad Hair Days
Do not worry if you have a bad hair day. Just hide it with a stylish hat and carry on with your routine. But be sure not to remove your hat as it could expose your bad hair. Many hats are available in different style which can suit your taste. You can also choose from the many styles that suits you and your attire for that particular day.
In the cold winter months a wool hat, or toque, is a great way to cover up your head and keep warm as well. Not just for skiers or snowboarders anymore, wool hats are very funky and stylish. A new style that is very popular is wool hats with a bit of a brim. This gives the hat a bit more shape and it looks great on most people since it doesn't draw too much attention to the size and shape of the head.
Baseball hats are a type of hat that never seems to go out of style. However, the popular style...

But, you are wrong. It is very possible. And easy.
1. Frequent flea markets, thrift stores, antique shops, yard sales and look for a felt hat. They are great places to find a hat that someone wants to get rid of ? and for a cheap price! I found an unbelievable slouch hat at our local church thrift shop for about 25 cents.
2. If it is good quality felt, wet it and brush it down with a hairbrush to get the shape you want.
3. Stuff it with old towels to get it to a neutral shape.
4. Let it sit for a day or two and take the towels out and decide what type of shape you want to make it.
5. Look at original photos and decide which hat you want to duplicate.
