I'll be the first to admit, soaps are cheesy. I can tolerate about 5 minutes worth on a case-by-case basis. But if you put aside the corny music, the amateur angles, and the cyclical storylines, what makes the typical soap actor so bad?

Generally speaking, what makes the popular film star so much better? Examples being George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Mel Gibson (pre-2000). These are actors who generally don't change much about themselves for roles they take on.

I'm asking this because I simply do not know. Thank you

A man checked into a hotel. There was a computer in his room, so he decided to send an e-mail to his wife.

However, he accidentally typed a wrong e-mail address, and without realizing his error, he sent the e-mail.

Meanwhile....Somewhere in Houston , a widow had just returned from her husband's funeral.

The widow decided to check her e-mail, expecting condolence messages from relatives and friends.

After reading the first message, she fainted. The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read:


To: My Loving Wife

Subject: I've Reached


Date: 17 oct 2006

I know you're surprised to hear from me. They have computers here, and we are allowed to send e-mails to loved ones.

I've just reached and have been checked in. I see that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow

If you are allowed to invest £3k per year in an ISA and profit the interest tax free, what happens the year after?? Your intrest return say £180 (on average if that) will give you £3180 in your account after year 1, say you invest your limit the next year so there is 6k in your account, is the interest calculated on the 6k tax free? or do you only get a 3k tax allowance? and also, if that is the case and you decide to put your £180 (from year1) into another ISA (in year two) and max the investment potential in this (giving you at the end of year two, two ISAs each of 3k) do you recieve tax free interst from both accounts?

Confusing eh??

The interpretation difference between some Protestant groups and Catholics is that Catholics do not consider Revelations to be prophesy - for Catholics Revelations is but a poem of lament after the Romans destroyed Jerusalem in 70 AD.. Early Christians expected Christ to return sooner rather than later and to save Jerusalem from destruction from the Romans.

Thus, Revelation the poem was written. Each of the gospels has some poetic license built in though - each gospel was written for a specific community at the time: each gospel is a Christianity marketing piece with historical information included.

Hysteroscopy 4 days ago very painful. Mid-way through procedure there was a power surge. Doctor had to start all over with that 91 second countdown portion (the part using electrical current (?). I thought my insides were being ripped out - maybe the local wore off too soon. I am one of those great patients that remains calm. This time around I actually started to cry and it took all I had not to scream out loud. The most painful ordeal I've have ever experienced in my life. After the procedure I went home and tried to get comfortable - that did not occur. My husband contacted the doctor's office to get some pain meds. Is this normal?

Four days later doing much better; however, very uncomfortable to sit for long periods of time, I feel interminate pulling sensations, bloating, some cramping.

No fever, no unusual discharge, little bleeding unless I become physically active, then it is like a light day during my cycle.

I thought I would be up and running around by now
