You have 10 candles in a row. You light the first candle, and use that to light the second one. Blow out the first candle, and use the second to light the third. Blow out the second candle. Continue till you reach the tenth candle...Is the flame the same as the first candle??? ........... I posted this a while ago but damn, dudes I ain't a philosopher, but this is just a philosophy question, and after i posted this extra detailed info I see I got no response. Not science question lol. I am just looking for a philosophical answer. This was posed to me by a professor back in 98 or so. There is no real right or wrong answer but mine was something like this...the essense of the flame is the same as the first, it has transformed itself but going thru many different lives, it was reborn and died reborn and died and so on....the last candle would have the life force of the first but would in itself be a new entity... I lose 5pts for reposting. Oh well :))

There is a girl whom I love, but never tell directly as she works in my office. But she knows there is someonw I love very much. Then I fell sick and knowing that I was sick she dint call me, but sent an SMS, since I was little dissapointed. Even in the office she dint come to me, but sent an email asking about my health. I was upset I sent her an sms that thanks for asking I am fine. ovewr which she asked ...why this attitude. Then we had a general conversation..and she sms me ..why u expect so much from peopla, they r not as gud n helping as you are...over which I wrote ...now i will not expect anything from anyonw.but, may i ask what did I expect. except 2 words that I am loved and needed? don't i deserve that much? At which she called what does this mean, doe to my shy nature and not letting her hurt by telling her that i loved her, i lied that I was upsat that no body enquired about my healt while I used to do so much for people...then things like that.

Before the Nightside series I was hooked on the Southern Vampire series by Charlaine Harris and then the Undead series by MaryJanice Davidson ...I've read them all. I just finished the Nightside series and can't wait until the next book comes out.

I've read two books by her so far: My Sisters Keeper and Salem Falls.
Both are so good. Jodi Picoult is a really good rider. The more you read the book the more information you get and the more you get into it.
I strongly recommend you go pick up My Sisters Keeper and Salem Falls

What is it in life that absolutley excites you? I mean what is it that really gets you going and keeps you alive...your passion! Are you happy with your life as it is right now, or is it your dreams and hope that keep you going?

Why?

Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl consists of diary entries written by a Jewish teenager named Anne Frank. Anne Frank is comfortably living with her mother, father, and sister in Amsterdam when the Nazis start taking Jews to concentration camps. The Frank family is forced to flee from their home and live in the building where Anne's father worked with another Jewish family by the name of Van Daan and an old dentist named Dussel. The eight Jews hide in these quarters, called the "Secret Annexe", for two years. In her diary, Anne Frank encounters the difficulties of becoming an adult, the progress of World War II, and the philosophy that men should be valiant and happy no matter what.
The book is amazing. I particularly suggest teenagers and other Jews to read this book, for teenagers will relate to Anne's experiences as she ages in the book from thirteen to fifteen years old, and Jews will be again reminded what happened during this time and what we should learn from it.

To those of us from New Orleans, Carnival and Mardi Gras are the most important times of the year, not only because of the revenue it generates for the city, but because of the rich and deeply cherished history and traditions that fill our city. As Orleanians we are taught about the histories of the various krewes, how to march in a parade, how to appear at a grand ball, the many kings and queens. We hold deep respect for our royalty even after their reigns have ended, and we discuss past Gras' throughout the year, beginning on Ash Wednesday at the Cathedral.
However, now that Katrina has tossed me out into the world, I am seeing that everybody else has a very different view of Carnivaltide.
Does anyone know the historical significance of Carnival and Mardi Gras? Does anybody even care? Is it really possible that people truly believe a celebration that is over 3 centuries old in North America lasted that long just for drinking and bare bosoms?

Talk to me, tell me what you know.
