Have you learned to play guitar on your own? I only had a few lessons. Now I am a teacher and recommend getting a good teacher for students who want to learn. I didn't really learn it out of a book. How did you learn and what has it changed or improved in your life?

I have another question for our Yahoo patrons across the water in London. First, has London Bridge always been called that, I am particularly interested in what it was called in the 14th century, and how near is it to St. Paul's Cathedral? If too far away is there another bridge within say walking distance of any bridge across the Thames? And if so which bridge & have you any idea how old that bridge would be? I know there is Blackfriar's bridge & Westminster Bridge.

Or is there any other large church or cathedral within walking distance of any of the bridges in existence in the 14th century (assuming of course that the church was also there during that time). I am still researching for my story, and by the way thank you all very much for your excellent and immediate response to my last question.

Did they borrow the numbers from Sesame Street? Were the numbers made out of plastic or paper? What color were the numbers?

Ok. here's the deal. I am in the process of adopting a little boy (16mon) I've already adopted his older 2 brothers, however right before his paperwork was sent to our lawyer we hit a roadblock. In his file they found out that he has a Sioux Indian blood line in his bfamily. Our CW said that b/c we don't know the blood quantum and that it could cause issues down the road that we HAVE to get permission from the tribe before we go any further. Ok, fine, I'm cool w/ that, it just may take a bit longer than we had anticipated. However, as I was talking w/ my dad about why my son's adoption was put on hold, my dad brings up the fact that my grandfather is 3/4 Sioux. Which makes me Sioux as well. I NEVER knew that! Now I'm curious and want to know more! My dad didn't have many answers for me and since my granddad is very old now he is unable to answer my questions. How do I find out more about my new heritage?

How did the French and Indian War make the colonies feel independent? At the same time what made them feel less independent due to what the British required or impressed on them after the war?
Thanks in advance! 8)

"Islam started with the sword"?...These are really not my words. I took it out of a Christian History book. Is that just the Christian perspective? Was Muhammed really just a man trying to use a new found religion to fally the Arabs to power? Some of the information I have seen on Muhammed and his sucessors make Islam look like a religion of control and terror. What do other History books say about Muhammed and the basics of Islam?

I'm watching the movie Uprising, the story of the Jewish uprising in the Warsaw Ghetto, and one of the themes is "What is honor?"

In a situation where no answer is a good one, how would you define "resistance?" How would you define "honor"?

Can a person choose not to take up arms and still be resisting? Can going to your death without begging to be spared, or even suicide, be considered an honorable death?

Not discriminating, but I'd like non-religious people to help me with this one:

I'm 29 and I think I'm going through some sort of phase in my life (perhaps an early mid-life crisis). Every day I wake up, the first thing that comes to mind is death. Like waking up to the same reality that never changes. By that I mean, many times in life you go through tough times but you also get to wake up and be glad to see that the problem is already behind you. Not in this case though. What strikes me every day is the thought of "what if death is the end of all things?". I started to have some pain in my lower abdomen just trying to visualize what it means to indefinitley NEVER EVER come back, even after a billion years. I think that if all humans could perceive the infinity they would become insane, just the way I feel today. Knowing that you'll die and NEVER come back is an extremley disturbing concept. I wish I met a ghost (not sure if there are), at least I will know that death is not final
