Lot's of people will say--after reading a book--wow, I see the whole world in a different way now. But that could just be a result of the immediate emotion the book evoked. Can you think of a book that you read at least five years ago (other than the Bible or other religious text) that affects you to this day? And if so, what book and how has it affected you?

I know the human body and organs begin to break down, but if we could restore them everytime we get too old, like the elasticity in our skin gets restored and the organs and all the cells regenerate to the quality they are when we are in our 20's, over and over, would our Brains be okay if we didn't do anything to them, or Do brains die like organs?

So, I just finished reading To Kill a Mockingbird, and I loved it :) My question is, if you've read it, why exactly is it called To Kill a Mockingbird? I have my own thoughts, just curious to hear other's thoughts.

Random question because; well, I am currently seperated from my husband of 3 years, not the 1st time either; but this time it might be for good. Part of me is dying inside; accepting that we might me over, yet part of me believes.. hey,maybe this happened for a reason. Maybe we just weren't meant to be; yet on the other hand I feel like he was the one for me. Just curious what other's opinion is on fate, and things happening for a reason. Do you trust that things happened for a reason in your life?

I live in Florida and im very passionate about acting. i've been trying to get into the acting business for awhile now but as we all know its very hard. So does anyone have any good advice as to ways that i can help myself get into the business? Also do you have any good recommendations for acting agents? Another idea i also had was going to an disney casting call. Many people get their break from disney so i thought that would be a good thing to try but where do you get the information about disney casting calls?
So if anyone has any good advice to give me on helping me pursue my dreams and goals i would deeply appreciate it.
Thanks :)

I am needing a new drafting table because my old one finally broke. I got that one from a family member when I was younger, so I dont really know much about them like--which ones are the best and so on. I also need to find one that is not expensive, but I want it to last for a while for me. I would prefer not spending over 100.00 for one so if anyone has any advice I would love to hear it!

I also want to buy a table easel with all the same specifications...just I would rather that one be under 50.00. Thanks - Amy

I've ran out of the old enamels and oil paints and temperas I was using to get these effects, so this is the last of the fluid paint paintings I’ll be wasting good canvas on. But for good measure I painted in, actually manipulated in, a face (almost a self-portrait) in this one. Can you find the portrait? I’m hoping it’s obvious enough when you enlarge the image.

By the way, it’s called ‘Eye Candy,’ in honor of Zoltar, (who is a Yahoo regular and a damn good artist himself) and the description he used to classify this type of creative tomfoolery I've been playing with. So now it's time to go back to the more 'serious' kind of art.

(You'll probably have to enlarge the image to find the portrait.)

Have fun.

I often find it hard to understand poems when I'm reading them. It's as if the poet is just blabbering on without any real meaning.

Do you have any advice or tips on how I can fully understand poetry? I'm currently reading some W.B. Yeats and a lot of his work is hard to properly comprehend.

Thanks in advance.

For those of you that love to ridicule faith, let me ask you this:

Do you believe the sun will rise tomorrow morning? What is your evidence? How can you be sure? You can't, but you have faith. The fact is everyone has faith.

How can intelligent life form from nothing? Do you honestly think the Big Bang formed from NOTHING and that inteligent life than formed from NOTHING as well? If there is a watch there must be a watchmaker. Nothing so intricate can form from an accident.

If there was nothing before the Big Bang, then where did the energy come from? If there is no God, then why do we have a conscience? Evolution is only concerned with survival, not if we feel bad if we tell a little white lie. Why is the earth the PERFECT distance from the sun? If it were too far away it would be too cold. Too close and it would be too hot. This is an amazing coincidence. Oh, and it happens to have water too. The evidence is there. Agree?

These things prove Christianity.

Sing silently unto the moon,
For the moon is yet to rise.
But worry not, and never do,
For the moon shall see your eyes.


I know its just one stanza, but yeah, the eyes are the window to the soul, and therein lies the metaphor.

Every person has different values and also a different value hirarchy. I talk here about values as respect, freedom, family, nature, peace, faith, trust, wisdom, strength etc. etc.

What is your highest value and what makes it the most important
