House used to be a funeral parlor; how do we search for information about its history? We don't even know the name of the parlor. Suggestions, please.

When my mother-in-law bought the house just over 20 years ago, the realtor told her it had been a funeral parlor. They had to remove caskets & such before moving in. How do we begin researching a house's past?

Not a small one. Like those...super sleek super sexy...whatever cameras. I like cameras with big lenses, and settings, and stuff. Sorry if I'm not being specific enough. But I need some reccomendations or suggestions or something.

How long did it take you to read it?

And, I have to read it for school? Do you think they'll test me on it (high school)?

This poor woman has never done anything to purposely hurt anyone in her life. This is just not right. What kind of a plan is that for God to have for her life. I am just ranting at God I guess. This really sucks.

Should everyone consider themselves to be insane, or accept the fact that something really did happen?

Shakespeare's Sonnets are a pinnacle of Western culture as are his plays. I saw that someone, probably an actor or director of theater, said that his plays were much more important.

Certainly more people know him for his magnificent plays but that doesn't means that they are more important than the Sonnets and other poetry outside the plays (often modified for use in the plays.)

As a poet, I find that studying and teaching the Sonnets is just as important to me as studying and teaching the plays. These days, people really have difficulties with Shakespeare's language in general so certainly most will prefer the plays often in modern adaptations which leave the magnificent language behind.

There are some things I just feel would work better if I wrote it out on paper. Other times, I find it impossible to write fast enough to keep up with what I'm thinking so I type.

What do you do?
