We did you start? How often do you write? How personal do you get? Do you keep it secret?

Does anyone know of a good way to trace a surname as it existed in a nation which no longer exist? I've found many references, like familysearch.com, that specialize in doing this sort of research for modern nation; but none for historical ones. My maternal ancestory goes back to a Duke in Prussia, but I'm try to find out the in-between details - like the time/location of immigration to the US. Unfortunately the last of that bloodline (Spees, aka Spiece) related to me pasted away 10 years ago so I can't get more info directly.

Some people think because they are this or that, then they are on top of the world. NOT! those things are fleeting. Dont you think we are what is in us spiritually, and that part of us does not change for the worse?

People say that all knowledgable people own some books. I read a lot but only borrow them from the library but do not own much. What are the advantages of owning books over borrowing?

I just can't get this out of my head....
River red, red river,
Drown me in your blood.
Let your blood seep into me.
Give me life,
Take away this dark cloud of depression,
And erode it to nothing.

River red, red river,
Make your currents
Twist me in every direction.
Bending, twisting, moving me
Into shapes deemed impossible by man.

River red, red river,
Take me to your heart.
Pumping, beating, squeezing, expanding.
Surround me with your touch,
So cold, so hard, so much pressure, so good.

River red, red river,
Take me.

Consider this quote:

…the Christian Right is distorting the government’s relationship to science. One example is that we now have a vaccine for the sexually transmitted human papillomavirus, which causes cervical cancer, of which 5000 women die every year in the US. The vaccine, which can be given to girls at age 11 or 12, is safe and effective. Yet evangelical Christians at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention – political appointees – have argued that we should not use this vaccine, because it will remove one of the natural deterrents to premarital sex. Reginald Finger, who’s on the immunization advisory committee of the CDC, has said that even if we had a vaccine against HIV, he would have to think long and hard about whether to use it, because it might encourage premarital sex.

If you worked at the CDC, would you promote the vaccines? Suppose we had cures for ALL STDs, as well as safe, reliable birth control. Would this change your views on premarital sex?

I have noticed that often books/their endings are either mockingly depressing or unrealistically perfect. I think it's hard to balance the bitter and the sweet. So which do you prefer, a book that is too sweet and clone-like, or a book that is too aware of evil and negative? This should be interesting.

without giving away my idea :) i need to know how i can install a light bulb as small or smaller than a christmas light inside of my sculpture and have it run on batteries.

is there anything i need to know as far as wattage or basically to make sure the battery doesnt blow up the sculpture?
im guessing i will need 9 tiny lights.

also how do i connect them? just solder the wires to the battery input? or is there a whole complicated system of capacitors and whatnot i have to deal with?

does the size of the wire matter?

maybe asked before but I want to hear new opinions

If you could save thousands of thousands of people but you would just reach this goal by sacrificing the life of one, only one innocent child,
2 options: let the child live and go on with it's live,
OR sacrifice the innocent child and save thousands of thousands, maybe million people, what would you do? sacrifice it or let it live?

(maybe you could say that it would be for AIDS that they find a cure)

The Puritans contained a strict and tolerant philosophy. Their well-established philosophy strongly focused on God. Serving God existed as their first responsibility. They considered the Bible as the true law of God that provided guidelines for church government. They constantly kept God and the Devil in mind. Puritans viewed witchcraft as evidence of a person’s spiritual weakness. The Puritan philosophy existed as an enemy toward witchcraft. They condemned anyone who practiced witchcraft.
Furthermore, the Puritan had an extremely strict philosophy. For example, they were killed for celebrating Christmas or even dancing with the opposite sex. Men and women did not have equal rights. By the time, a child reached age 7; he or she held responsibilities for their actions. Even though they maintained strict laws, some of their positive laws benefited women. For example, men could not abuse or speak sharply to their wives. Some of their poems express their philosophies.
Anne Bradstreet (1612-1672) existed as the first American poet and writer to have their work published. Bradstreet was well educated for her time. This allowed her to express herself through poetry. Bradstreet strongly based her poems on religious themes and philosophies. She wrote personal poems about her thoughts of childbirth and the death of a grandchild.
Anne Bradstreet’s poems highly reflect the Puritan philosophy. In her poem, “Here Follow Some Verses on the Burning of Our House, July 10, 1666,” Anne shows her belief in God even though her house is on fire. Passages like “…to my God my heart did cry to strengthen me in my distress and not to leave me succorless” show the reader that even though she dealt with pain at that particular time in her life she still looked to God for help. Puritans prayed and read the Bible daily.

Here is your dilemma. Someone you love can have everlasting happiness but in order to do that you must suffer for eternity. Or they can suffer eternally whilst you live in eternal happiness. These are the only two choices. Which do you choose?
