My pictures are Mr Pickwick on ice and Bob Cratchets Christmas diner I have it on good authority that Will Owen was a reasonably famous artist having created the Bisto Kids for "Bisto". My two pictures are dated around 1900 - 1910 so I know they are very old but I would just like to find out if they are of any great value as they are currently not insured separately. Also is there any way on line I can research the artist Will Owen to see what else he is famous for any information would be very handy.

like to know more about? Is there anything that you ever read or heard about that stuck in your head as really mysterious or interesting? A world mystery perhaps or a strange historical phenomenon? I'm really curious to know about more obscure mysteries of the world (ones that aren't so famous). Thanks!

I've chosen the song, Shadowland, but I have no idea on what part I should sing. My director asks that we do 16 bars. Which should I do?

Here's the lyrics:

What gave God and Christians the right to judge or condemn me? Honestly, I don't believe in God or Satan and despite what you say. . .I don't want an answer that puts me in my place, I don't need to placed. And for your information, I am Pagan, which means I believe in many gods and goddesses. So lay off!

I got badly hurt and I have no respect for this individual whatsoever. I do, however, have a beautiful recollection of the day we met. All I'm asking is, is it healthy at all to cherish this in my heart because it's like a fantasy. Not real. Someone who loves you doesn't do certain things under any circumstance.

I just feel like I'm fooling myself the way I think about that one day in August 2 years ago.

It was all a lie anyway.

thanx

Now I know that the Germans exterminated 6 million Jews. However the Japs were extremely cruel to POW's. They would experiment on them. Cut off their fingers and such, They also slaughtered over 10 million Chinese. This is a tough question.

I'm looking for books on a subject which I'm unable to fully explain. Are there any books you could recommend that deal with any of the following thought processes?

I often wonder if there's a reality that's more real than the one I've been fed. Is society this thing which I can label and hide away in my closet to pull out later and destroy? Or have I made it (society) also? Have I not built my own prison, and am now begging myself for the key? Futhermore, am I denying myself an exit? What about my childhood memories? Were they really so sweet, or did I add a touch of sugar when I wasn't looking? If I can only observe via my senses, then what is reality? Is it possible to know anything, really? Are our daily activities mere distraction? Does true mass awareness go hand in hand with destruction?

United States invaded Iraq using the false argument that the country possessed weapons of mass destruction. However United States is the country with most WMDs in the entire world and nobody mentions it. Is there a specific reason for this silence?

Okay here's the deal. I am supposed to teach Sunday school this Sunday. Our program is similar to a vacation Bible school and I am supposed to be doing a story telling lesson. There's only one problem. Our library doesn't have the book and I won't be able to get to the library that does. It is called "The Christmas Miracle of Jonathon Toomey". Can anyone give me an extremely detailed description of the book...maybe even the words? If not, does anyone have any ideas of what I could do to get around this obstacle?

I can see myself as both the anarchist and the monarchist. I'm at once cheering for ultimate personal freedom and building fences to keep populations detained. I'm at once a firm believer in Christianity, burning abortion clinics to the ground and an enlightened pro-choice atheist. I'm at once an independent music listener who's disgusted by pop music and humming along to the latest radio pop hits. I'm at once interested in a career as a psychiatrist and a firm believer in the non-existence of mental illness.

What does all of this mean?
