In Australia there is a song used to promote a new model of a motor vehicle. The song probably goes back to the 70's and begins with "Where have you been my blue eyed son, where have you been my darlin' young one...."

That current version isn't performed by the original singer - so my request is who was the original, and who is the one that does the TV version. Additionally, was the title the same as I have referred to above - or a different title...?

My dishwasher racks plastic coating has worn away from use, and the metal has been exposed to the water and detergent causing rust on key points where my dishes,pots and pans go. Also on the tops of the prongs where the cups and glasses go. I know you can buy those little nubby things to go over the prongs, but what can I do about the rack where the dish sits? Is there a special paint I can put on it to cover the rust? Where do they sell that?

Buying a new dishwasher is out of the question. Also I have been washing dishes by hand, which increases time and water consumption.

In many countries including India (all of which got independence from European Powers) there is a tendency to change the name of places. Is it good or is just a gimmick to fool the people. Because it does not requie any resources and local people feel great about it.

My boyfriend and I have a 6 month old little girl together and we are currently in the process of breaking up. He is going back to his home town in Alabama and I live in Ohio. He doesn't want to get custody, but he wants to be able to see her, which is fine with me, but I don't want her going to Alabama. Can I prevent that from happening? What kinds of rights would he have living in a different state? How would the visitation work?

I saw an answer to a question earlier on that was critical of the debate that we're having here in R&S as it's technically against the Y/A guidlines.

I understand the point, but I don't think it's valid to point the finger just at atheists. There is a robust debate happening between many groups from different backgrounds.

I have learnt much from participating as I'm sure most of us, whatever our background, have.

The suggestion was made that a disscussion group would be more appropriate, yet somehow, the Y/A just works so much better, and I think that's why we're all here.

Personally, I think it's a wonderful example of how the internet can bring people together and spread a better understanding.

While many of us will continue to dig our heels in on our opinions, we are all creating a better understanding with, and of, each other. This can only be healthy in the global community that we live in.

Is this valid, or should all of us, from all sides, go elsewhere?

Too good not to share…

A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men on it were able to swim to a small, desert like island. The two survivors, not knowing what else to do, agree that they had no other recourse but to pray to God. However, to find out whose prayer was more powerful, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island.

The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the land, and he was able to eat its fruit. The other man's parcel of land remained barren.

After a week, the first man was lonely and he decided to pray for a wife. The next day, there was a woman who swam to his side of the land. On the other side of the island, there was nothing.

Soon the first man prayed for a house, clothes, more food. The next day, like magic, all of these were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing.

Finally, the first man prayed for a ship, so that he and his wife could leave the island. In the morning, he found a ship docked at his side of the island. The first man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island. He considered the other man unworthy to receive God's blessings, since none of his prayers had been answered.

As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from heaven booming, "Why are you leaving your companion on the island?"

"My blessings are mine alone, since I was the one who prayed for them," the first man answered. "His prayers were all unanswered and so he does not deserve anything."

"You are mistaken!" the voice rebuked him. "He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of my blessings."

"Tell me," the first man asked the voice, "what did he pray for that I should owe him anything?"

"He prayed that all your prayers be answered."

For all we know, our blessings are not the fruits of our prayers alone, but those of another praying for us.

This is too good not to share...

My prayer for you today is that all your prayers are answered. Be blessed.

"What you do for others is more important than what you do for yourself"

glamour models, there's nothing glamourous about them.

They look like cheap tarts with too much make up on.

I'm a gori, so forgive my lack of knowledge. I would understand it if it was only for ceremonial reasons, but not a proper marriage as such. It was listed as fact in an English newspaper, that's where I got this information from. If this is utter nonsense, great! If not, please explain. Thanks.

I'm currently writing my master's thesis on the road in the US. I want to explore its mythical status with roots back to the first settlers and the 'frontier thesis' (how the American was moulded on the frontier). I also plan on looking at Route 66 and explain how it has added to the myth of the road. Finally, I intend to look at road movies and explain how they keep the myth of the road alive.
I'm not from the US myself, and therefore I'm interested in getting in touch with 'real' Americans who would like to share their thoughts on the road with me. Is the road still mythical? Why/why not? Have you ever been on a road trip - or do you intend to go? What does the road symbolize to you (both the road in general and Route 66)? Do you think the road is part of the American national identity? Or only the whites' identity? Is it possible to find personal identity on the road as portrayed in many road movies? Please explain to me what the road means to you as a person and a people. Thanks

your pet suddenly died? I know it must be devastating... but could you ever get over it? I've always wanted a pet, but couldn't have one because of the conditions in the place where I live... plus, my mom is always hesitant to get us one because she's afraid of how we would handle it if he died...
I can sort of understand, because this saloon I used to go to had this big, lovable German shepherd and she was like the owner lady's little kid... I got so used to seeing her there every month, and suddenly on one visit, she was missing, and the owner told us she died, and she had tears in her eyes... That was very upsetting. So, do you think the death of a pet will upset one as much as the death of a family member? Should this fear of death discourage me from getting a pet if I ever move and get my own place?
