This is the translation of an authentic letter from a student at 'oxenford' 'Greetings pater..this is to inform you that i am studying (at Oxford) with greatest dilligence, but the matter of money stands greatly in the way of my promotion as it is now two months since I spent the last of what you sent me. This city is expensive and makes many demands; I have to rent lodgings, buy necessaries, and provide for many other things which cannot be specified. Wherefore I respectfully beg your paternity that by the promptings of divine pity you assist me, so that i may complete what I have well begun. For you know that without Ceres and Bacchus, Appollo grows cold..'
Nos vagabunduli, Laeti, jucunduli,
Edimus libere, Canimus lepide,
Risu dissolvimur, Pannis obvolvimur,
Multum in joculis,Crebro in poculis

Whenever I start typing on the computer, I tend to freeze up and my mind goes blank...but if it's such a hassle to write with pen and paper. On a computer, it's much easier to correct mistakes and fix spelling errors. In the end, the story will be typed but I don't know whether to start stories with pen and paper or straight on the computer. Which method do you all prefer?

What is your favorite method of making paper mache?

How would you go about making a form to build a heart around? Using rolled up newspapers in balls n make them into the shape of a heart n wrap with saran wrap so it doesnt stick?

And how would you construct a lid?

open for other options..



What about using normal white printer paper instead of newspapers? does that make any difference?

You die and you are brought before your maker. He/she can be in whatever form you imagine. They have one question for you. Which do you think you deserve, heaven, hell, or reincarnation, and why?

them out of existence?

A good program on the History Channel shows how it was the German people who brought WWI to an end. They were rioting against the Kaiser and his financial backers. It was representatives of the people, at the order of the Kaiser, who first contacted our allies to sue for Peace> But, they were rejected because they were not military and thus were consider beneith contempt of the military officers sent to hear them.

When the war ended, instead of helping the people rebuild Germany and create a democratic government, we blockaded their ports and rails, with the purpose of starving them out of existence. Is it any wonder that it was so easy for the Nazis to take power and convince them that they had a new and better way? The German people were getting nothing from anyone else, not even information. The Nazis were all that was left.

Perhaps nothing of importance in today's society, but something of interest in what brought us to where we are today.
