I'm writing a new book in which the main character goes through many modern day obstacles to discover the truth to a conspiracy. There is a girl with whom he works and eventually falls in love (at the end) but I can't figure out a fitting name for her. She's independent and can easily defend herself. She's the type who feels life is sometimes better without the burdens of love, until she meets the main character. She's of good height (5' 10" or so), brunette, and in-shape. She's very intelligent and level-headed. But I need a name that is both "sexy" or "feminine," but also dignified--for a girl anyway. The main character's name is Patrick, so a name that goes well with his would be good as well. I was hoping to make her of western European decent, probably either French or Italian. But anything else is greatly appreciated. I know this seems a little like Dan Brown's style of writing...and I suppose it is similar, so any other advice would be appreciated. Thanks for the help.

I must say first that I AM a big fan of Dylan. What puzzles me is how some of his lyrics I find to be brilliant works of poetry, while in some songs his lyrics are stupid, shallow and cheap choices of rhyming words. Is anyone else confused by this?

BTW- I saw him in concert last year and he still kicks @$$!

I'm the daughter...I'm in my mid thirties, have one beautiful, wonderful son and have lots of heartache over my mother. It's only gotten worse since I've become a mother. I have tried to "fix" the relationship, but it only lasts until the next betrayal or act of cruelty on her part. I have basically given up over the last couple of years, and my life is better for it, but how do you cope with the heart strings?

Basically, her relationship with me is kinda like she sees me as an acquaintance that she's jealous of and loves to critcize and gossip about. Team up with my sister-in-law who is very much just like her.

She never wanted to be a mother like her own mother, but she managed to be like her anyway. Now, I'm a mom...and I don't get it! How can you NOT adore your own child? Support them. Love them. Nuture them. Help them build self-love, confidence, all that stuff!!!

I went out with my boyfriend for 6 months however we had known each other for two years previously. After about 4 months i told him i loved him, he said he couldn't return the feelings but maybe in time he could however he liked me a lot. At this point i thought ok because its not been that long. However the other night i told him i loved him again. This time he just said 'erm..ok'. I felt as though things had changed between us and therefore asked the question... ' do you still think of me as your girlfriend as you seem to have been different with me lately'. After all this was said we eneded up falling out however i still want to be with him. He said the reason why we have split up is because there is too much pressure of how i feel about him. Iv text him a few times but he hasnt answered some of them. am i stupid to want to be with him? was the whole thing for him just a bit of fun? what would you do? im trying to forget but its really hard! i still see him every night at training!

other people things like... "Do you know Jesus?" " Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus?" or something along those lines? I believe in God and that Jesus died for me but I hate it when others ask those things. Isn't my relationship with God between me and God especially since He is the only one who truly knows my heart? Christians should not judge, right? So are they asking these questions based on their judgement of what you wear, drive, or look like? When asked this question I feel like saying " As a matter of fact yes I do, and it's between me and God. And how dare you assume that I don't." Seriously, does anyone else agree or can anyone answer this seriously? I also understand what witnessing for God means but there is a line between witnessing and judging.

Recently large demonstrations have taken place across the country protesting the fact that Congress is finally addressing the issue of illegal immigration. Certain people are angry that the US might protect its own borders, might make it harder to sneak into this country and, once here, to stay indefinitely. Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking behind these protests.

Let's say, I break into your house. Let's say, that when you discover me in your house, you insist that I leave. But I say, "I've made all the beds and washed the dishes and did the laundry and swept the floors; I've done all the things you don't like to do. I'm hard-working and honest (except for when I broke into your house).

According to the protesters, not only must you let me stay, you must add me to your family's insurance plan, educate my kids, and provide other benefits to me and to my family (my husband will do your yard work because he too is hard-working and honest, except for that breaking in part). If you try to call the police or force me out, I will call my friends who will picket your house carrying signs that proclaim my right to be there.

It's only fair, after all, because you have a nicer house than I do, and I'm just trying to better myself. I'm hard working and honest, um, except for, well, you know.

And what a deal it is for me!! I live in your house, contributing only a fraction of the cost of my keep, and there is nothing you can do about it without being accused of selfishness, prejudice, and being an anti-housebreaker. Oh yeah, and I want you to learn my language so you can communicate with me.

Why can't people see how ridiculous this is?! Only in America
