According to Fox News Texas, a man is suing 1-800-flowers for a million dollars. He alleges that 1-800-flowers revealed to his wife a secret that he had sent a dozen red roses with a love note to another woman, and got into trouble as the result. Here’s the quote:

A Missouri City man is suing an online florist because they sent his wife a receipt for flowers he ordered – the problem is the flowers weren’t for her.

Red roses are supposed to symbolize love, passion, happiness and romance – but all that changes when your wife finds a receipt for flowers you sent to your girlfriend. [snip]

In April 2007, Greer, who was in the middle of a divorce, used the company website, 1800flowers.com, to order a dozen red roses and teddy bear for a woman who was not his wife.

According to Kennitra Foote, the attorney for Greer, “a couple months later 1800flowers sent a thank you card to his home and his wife who he was reconciling with saw the card and said who ordered flowers and why?”

After Mrs. Greer called the company, she was sent a copy of the receipt by fax along with the note he sent with the flowers and what he purchased.

The copy of the note included with the purchased items read “Just wanted to say I love you,” which was sent to the girlfriend.

After reading it, Mrs. Greer wrote her husband Leroy a note of her own [see the picture below] before refiling her divorce papers.

According to Leroy Greer, she decided to ask for more money. He told FOX 26 News that he “was gonna give her $150,000 and $4,000 a month in child support. She was satisfied with that.”

Mr. Greer said finding out about those $100 roses caused his wife to demand a $400,000 lump sum plus $6,000 a month in child and spousal support.”

Mrs. Greer declined the request to interview with FOX 26 News, but 1-800-FLOWERS sent a statement to FOX 26 that said:

“We take pride in creating relationships with our customers by recognizing and thanking them for their business. We take all matters relating to our customers seriously; however, we are not responsible for an individual’s personal conduct. Beyond this, it is the company’s policy not to comment on pending litigation and legal matters.”

Foote said “People are going to swing one way or another they’re gonna think he doesn’t deserve anything he just got busted he should just take it, but its more than just his reputation or him being an adulterer.”

According to Leroy Greer, it’s about his soured marriage. Greer is seeking more than one million dollars in damages.

    This morning I was driving to work as usual. The road I travel is realitively busy. I noticed a group of joggers, not just 3 or 4, but  15 to 20, followed by another group of 10 or 12 and behind them is another group just as large. Not really a big deal, but these are the kids on the local high school track team. We all know that kids don’t always think of the dangers that lurk,  but you would think the gym teachers would. These kids don’t jog in single file, oh no……. the are 5 across past the “protection” of the solid white line put there for bikers. The speed limit on this road is 45mph…….. and you know as well as I do , that for some people that means go 75! Now, one block over is a very nice neighborhood, quiet streets, not a ton of traffic and safer. Why can’t they jog there? Makes too much sense I guess.

As for the bicycle riders who have a lane all to themselves which they don’t use !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They ride in groups just like these joggers, only difference is that they block the whole lane, slowing traffic for miles. Plus it never fails that the favorite time of day to travel in packs is the morning and evening, when everyone is in a hurry to either get to work or get home. I don’t get it.

Another thing I don’t get is why a Mom would cross in the middle of the street with her kids in tow. Usually one child in the arm, and the other 3 all under the ages of five attached to her blouse. Now, I don’t know about your kids, but my kids at that age were quick and periodically unpredicable. I rarely, crossed a busy intersection with them let alone a major road where the average speed was 50mph. Seemed too dangerous to me.

Heres another one. Why do moms take long stroller walks with their infants on busy roads? Now, some of these streets have sidewalks. USE THE SIDEWALK. That’s what it’s there for. To walk on. But instead they walk in the street!

I don’t know it just was something I thought of going to work, figured I’d share.
