It was the biggest hotel in nineteenth century Washington D.C. and home to some amazing events and people, but I can't seem to find a good source on the subject. Tried to search net for it, but every hotel in D.C. now claims to be National or Historic... Any suggestions?

I sing in a women's barbershop chorus and quartet. One of the things that our director and coaches talk about is that we need to improve our breath control. How do you do this?

I've recently developed an interest in her work --not her novels as much as her diaries. But there are so many! I suppose I should begin with her most earlier diaries, but does anyone else have any other ideas? If you know her work well, what would you recommend? Is there any one work I should start with?

Anyone have suggestions of what to do with several boxes of nearly new , mostly hardcover books? Many Readers Digest condensed books,fiction,some reference. The library doesn't want them, nor do the two nursing homes in our area. I refuse to throw away books, but they are taking up space and my sister doesn't want them.

I ran down a list of my most dreaded feelings and guilt would have to be the worse. The feeling when you've done something wrong or selfish, where you feel it validates you as a bad person and you think about it before you sleep. Man i hate it.
I asked my sister and she said that awkwardness would be the no.1 on her list which surprised me so i'm just interested in finding out what's YOUR worse feeling.

I was doing genenology connecting trees. I know they made some errors. Anyways, I think this part is another error but want to make sure. I know the person was a Captain in the civil war.That is true, I have a copy of the obituary that names him and his wife. bla/bla.
I'm looking up his info. The question is what is the chance of an immigrant being an officer in the civil war. ( I believe they got his country of birth switched with his wife)

I would like to name our baby, if a boy, after my husband's grandfather but we aren't sure if we should add a suffix to it. No one in the family has his full name except him so our baby would be the first. Do I need to add Jr. or II (the second) for our baby?

I don't want ideas that relate to gender unless they are really out there (I have millions of them and that's what most lit papers boil down to) and I don't want any sparknotes stuff....anyone have some somewhat original ideas that I can toy with? Thanks

Chamber of Secrets?

2007-03-17 12:47:07 · 9 answers · asked by Hagrid 3 in Books & Authors

It's not the one that is popular now; it was a first reader that started out "Look a box, a box for me. Open the box, open it, open it. A rabbit, a rabbit, a little white rabbit. A little white rabbit for me." I know almost the entire book by memory, it's about a little boy who get the rabbit, it starts to run, he catches it by it's ears, and it's ears get hot. He takes it to the vet and the vet teaches him to carry the rabbit by it's neck. I would really love to have it again. It was written pre 1970, I think in the 50's sometime, and I don't remember the author. If anyone knows where I could find it I would be very grateful!! Thanks!
