What is the name of the first chapter (in a novel, let's say) that is before the story really begins? Let's say that this chapter is something that has happened in the past (in the story) and then after that, is the actual story in present. Is this called something else, or is this just a "chapter"?

Short term loans from Foreign investors to my business with a monthly interest payment to them. How do I report the interest expense to the IRS and do I have to issue a 1099 INT when there is no social security number? Is the foreign investor liable for any US taxes on interest earned?

My pen pal lives in Paris and we usually speak in English because I only know like 2 words in French but this letter she wrote in French was only a few lines and I don't understand a bit:
C'est la dernière lettre vous irez faire recieve de moi vous la prostituée. Ayez une vie agréable. Vos crabes ont infecté ma maison de mères et je bascule pensent à vous comme un ami davantage. Vous êtes un diseur de bonne aventure faux qui vend des mensonges. Le fait de vous croire quittés a n'importe quels amis parce que vous dont. Je bascule croient youre la vente de votre bébé pour l'argent de médicament au Taiwan.

Does anyone know how to get rid of that stinky smell that dried starfish emit? I've been buying these from Michael's cuz I think they're cool and I wanted to decorate with them, but the odor is so repulsive that I'm afraid to hang them up. Someone suggested soaking them in alcohol, but won't that ruin them?

I have been with my boyfriend for 3 and a half years, we both want to get married(to each other) one day. We are both 20, and entering our Junior year of college.
My grandfather is dying, and I don't know how much longer he's going to be with us.
Here is my question: Do you think it is a bad idea to get married in the next year so that my grandfather will be here for it? I would be heartbroken if he passed on before we got married, but I don't want to ruin mine and my boyfriend's chance to finish college. Before you ask, the two of us have talked about this, and he wants my whole family to be there as well so wants to go along with this also. In the end though, he says its my decision.
As a side note, I know his family would not go along with this, and my family would probably be a little skeptical, though they are already hoping we will get married one day.
Any advice you can give would be great, thank you!

Does anyone have any church bloopers that you would like to share? I have a few which I will list below...

-- Our next song is "Angels We Have Heard Get High."

-- Don't let worry kill you - let the church help.

-- Remember in prayer the many who are sick of our church
and community.

-- Thursday night potluck supper - Prayer and Medication to
follow.

-- The senior choir invites any member of the congregation
who enjoys sinning to join them.

-- This afternoon there will be a meeting in the South and North
ends of the church. Children will be baptized at both ends.

As I made a feeble attempt to prove that Atheists and Christians can agree one some things, which I made a mistake on the matter due to punctuation errors, not only was I informed that I was wrong, but I was attacked because I was wrong about it. Being called narrow(minded??), self-centered, a coward, anti-women, and other things...

So why should I expect anything other than hatred from non-believers, just because of a simple mistake?

Now, I know I shouldn't generalize, but I guess non-believers say things like "all christians damn you to hell if you don't believe in jesus" is how things like this from non-believers, and how some christians say "atheists are arrogant and rude" is because they have experiences like this...hate filled responses

Wouldn't someone who was trying to get their point accross, without being full of hate, simply say "sorry, re-read my statement I think you have it wrong"? Because I know I would...but apparently those who are truely closed minded can't.

He is about 7-8 years old. He is skin and bones. My other 5 cats are fat and happy. Is this typical of Siamese cats? People are starting to make comments and I feel guilty. I keep feeding him on the counter so he is not interrupted by other cats, but he eats so little.

Don't you you just hate it when you are on the freeway and you see people multi-tasking in the car? Ex: A lady speeding in her gas guzzling Ford Excusion playing with her cell phone and beating her children in the back seat while swerving my way on the freeway? What about when someone cuts you off and then slams on their brakes and then flips you off for almost hitting them?

I was just wondering how bad do you hate that?
How do keep from throwing things out of the window at people do drive very stupid?

Feel free to tell me some of your experiences.

i like this guy, but im not sure if he likes me, when we are around each other he acts like an annoying big brother, like throwing stuff at me or gently hitting my leg, but when he is not so sober we always seem to be touching, like our bodies or hands, he still acts immature, but with flirtation, does he like me or am i reading him all wrong?

The claim that the Iraq war has anything to do with terrorist attacks is wearing thin, as we see what happened in Iraq yesterday.(220 Iraqi people killed)

Saddam was a strong opponent of Muslim religious fanaticism, and a barrier to Osama. Now Saddam is history. The latest reason claimed to justify the Bush war is that we have an obligation to set up a democratic state in Iraq. How much longer will the American people buy this? Will Bush need to invent a new justification to keep his war going until he leaves office? The American troops are dying for nothing. How much longer will the American people put up with our men/women dying?

Is real love not going out with other girls because you dont want to hurt the girl you´re already with?

....or is real love not even wanting to go out with other girls, simply because you only care about and are interested in the one you´re with right now?

hahaha I feel totally stupid asking this question... Jeeze... I know the answer is no, but with all the science in 21st century I figured what the hell I might as well see if someone has something out there I don't know about.

I have dog, and about 6 years ago my ex took my dog without my knowledge and got him fixed. So now hes grey, getting up there in years, and I want a pup from him haha. Is there anything out there in the wide wide world I could do to get this dog with another dog so I can get a pup (Im talking using lab, cloning, whatever ha)? He has no balls I know, and I know that it isnt possible, but as I said I know they have made big leaps in humans in such an areas, just don't know if they made "that" big of a leap haha.
