"These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arazzis. These self-obsessed women seemed genuinely unaware that 9/11 was an attack on our nation and acted as if the terrorist attacks happened only to them. ... I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much ... the Democrat ratpack gals endorsed John Kerry for president ... cutting campaign commercials... how do we know their husbands weren't planning to divorce these harpies? Now that their shelf life is dwindling, they'd better hurry up and appear in Playboy."

In searching family, I have talked right along with the locals about The 4 conners and a cememtery but as soon as I bring Thunder Castle up they all back of as if I am some kind of Witch. No one will apeak about this at all, but I can tell they now. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. The only name I have is Celia Handy and she is buried outside and to the back of the cememtery; but someone puts plastic flowers on her grave or did every year. This is a real mystery I would like to solve even though she is not family. The locals will not talk about her either, they clam right up. I feel sorry for her; many things come to mind. I am reaching out for help.

I am doing a research project and need some ideas of novels to use which feature governesses as their main character. I am looking at factors such as why they were written e.g to educate, to emphasise their plight? Were they realistic portrayals? Were there differences between male and female writers ideas? The more novels I can look into the better and then narrow it down to the most productive for my work.

Please note: This is a genuine question...

********* No offence is meant, and is a question that should be pondered before answering!********

Hitler in my view would never have stopped with Europe, he had already taken too Africa and Asia, before the Allied Forces (Similar to todays N.A.T.O.) defeated his Nazi Machine!

My Point...

Blond hair blue eyes... and the chance that any of you would be here today to have your petty Wars and answer questions on the Net, is very slim...

So why do we not take heed of History, thank our lucky stars, lay down our weapons, and be Peaceful. Also Respectful of others and there families... after all You wouldn't like soldiers in the middle of the night smashing the door down and taking your family to there deaths. You would not like somewhere you are having a day out with your family, then targeted by a suicide bomber...

What are your views!

Peace! Live Happy!

I'm trying to get my little brother to read more, and he's reading the very easy chapter books (I Can Read Books). Do you recommend any specific books that I can read with him to get him used to reading chapter books?

He's starting 3rd grade, if you need to know the reading level.

Today I enrolled in a ballet studio. Im excited but i dont really know what to expect. Is there any sort of protocal the classes follow, like clapping at the end of a class, or how to address your teacher. Are there also any rules you have to follow, like what is acceptable, like wearing makeup. I know all schools and classes are differnt but Im sure there are rules that all classes follow. Im sure I will feel more comfortable knowing what is going to happen, since Im the new girl. I think I worded this question poorly, but I think I got my point across. Thank you for all the answers in advance!!!

Like history and God. There have been many Gods and Goddess's throughout history, one is considered wrong and another is considered right, then voila, something in history changes and another concept is considered the right one. History is based upon who won the war. Do you ever think 'maybe' you are only repeating a myth?

I learned these abbreviations in Exploring World Religions in my college class. My friend's daugher is being taught A.D. and B.C. and was told this is universal. I was told new way is politically correct and takes out referance to Christ and respects all religions. What do people in France use every day? What about in the U.N? What about everyday people in other contries? Who uses what and what difference does it make and why? Isn't it just like us narrow- minded Americans to be still teaching our 13 year olds the old system and tell them it's universal? What's wrong with this picture?

Recently orphaned, Judith Sparrow has no choice but to be taken in by her stem uncle Geoffrey. He agreed to the arrangement with only one stipulation. Judith could bring all her belongings with her, except for anything green. The color green is strictly forbidden in his house. She finds comfort in her new surroundings from Mrs. Hastings, her uncles's housekeeper; and even at times her uncle seems willing to open up to her. But then strange things begin to happen, and her happiness in her new home, and a budding romance with the miller's son, are compromised by the terrifying events that have taken place. But she can't tell anyone about these incidents, because she suspects that these terrifying events may be occurring because of the one possession she kept that is against the rules. Hidden in her mink is a small green picture frame given to her by her mother.
Thats what the book is about.
If you havent read this book, you should, its really good!

i have my demons, my problems, etc. let's not talk about that because I don't want to be judged on them. I walked to high street today and ate some KFC and then went to goodwill and bought two t-shirts. as i left, a black guy was walking toward me. i see many black and white and other ethnic guys walking around but i automatically assumed that this guy is good looking but there is something wrong with him. call it intution. he only verified my suspicions by stopping me and saying "hey brother, can i pleasse as you for a favor?". he was very courteous and he put a lot of energy behind his pleading. but after glancing him in the eyes i decided to stick with my philosophy and walk away. i mean he is feeding into that stereotype of black guys always asking strangers for stuff. i knew it was going to be money. there is no reason why a grown strong and healthy man should ask someone, especially someone low down on the totem pole for a favor.

There's a limited amount of room on the spaceship to the new planet some kindly aliens have given us (they weren't using it). However they want to know why and how we've screwed up our planets and if and what we're likely to do different with a second chance. What books would you take to answer these questions?

Has anyone ever heard of this book, 'Lunchtime in Brooklyn' by Rebecca something? It was serialized in Sassy years ago, but I've never been able to find the actual book. Maybe it never got published.

FOG

THE fog comes
on little cat feet.

It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.
It is for Carl Sandburg. What do you think?
