I'm cannot find my grandmother's name (or her siblings she traveled with) in the Ellis Island registries. Could she have entered the U.S. at a different port? She was arrived from Germany and ended up in California.

Did anyone notice that at the end of HP7 Teddy (Remus and Tonks son- Harry's godson) should have been 19 but was riding the train to Hogwarts. He should have come of age two years previously. I love this series and am hoping someone found a good reason for him to be there and not a mistake.

my favorite part was chapter 33 because i so didnt expect snape to love lily. and i would never imagine that they knew each other before Hogwarts. i also love how in the past books you get this impression of Snape being this awful guy who hates harry but in that chapter you realize that he is capable of love!! i thought it was so cute. i also love that chapter until the end. i mean, that was a great way to end the book!

We know now that the Titanic broke in two when it was sinking - Robert Ballard discovered this when he found the wreck in 85. However, before this, and from seeing movies such as A Night To Remember, the ship is depicted as sinking whole. Did eyewitness accounts at the time not say otherwise? Why is this so?

I know there are different opinions, but who is the “generally accepted” greatest leader in British history? I think either Benjamin Disraeli, Winston Churchill, or Queen Elizabeth, but I may be wrong.

People don't sit next to me, I lose my friends, I eat alone, I'm probably going to live alone, they say I am beautiful, but once they smell me they try to destroy me with words. They think that I don't keep good hygiene. Life is unbearable. People tease me alot, even adults complain about my presence. i don't blame them. My doctors don't have knowlegde about these things so they think I'm mental. There is no way OUT. For 25 years of my life.

Trimethylamine causes an offensive body odor that resembles rotting eggs and is released in the person's sweat, urine and breath, giving off a strong fishy odor. People affected with TMAU may produce more sex cells like sperm, and will have diarrhea. There also may be additional metabolic problems such as mood swings associated with TMAU.

I ask this question because I have a book titled "Love's Soft Voice." The theme is of the above nature. I want to know what others think because I'm a people person. I grew up with people from every ethnic origin and I believe that we are all connected. I do not mean for this question to be an ad to sell books. I asked this question a few days ago and I worded it different and I got reported for abuse. I also ask this question because multitudes of people have an American Indian heritage and I want to know how everyone feels especially multi-racial people. Let's face it, there are many stories about American Indian People associating with People of other ethnic origins but I have never read a book or seen a movie about an American Indian man falling in love with a run away slave. I feel that this type of story will be good and I want to know how others feel. Just for the record, this story is true and is handed down thru many generations to me.

The only way the system would think that they are helping me or getting rid of me is to put me in a mental institution, lock me up, put a sign, a label on me that says something like “Bipolar”, “Boderline Personality”, “Dangerous”, “Crazy.” The fact is that the system, other human beings who have not experienced the same thing, the same emotions can not possibly understand. If they did understand the emotions that are unbearable to the soul, they would be in the same situation as I am. I am sure about this and I still keep an open mind. If people understood me and how I felt, no drug, no psychiatrist, no psychologist could help them get out of the situation. When I lose the memory, I can live my life happily and live in the present. When there is something that reminds me of that memory or it happens again, then I will easily go from what society and the English dictionary calls the sane mind to the insane mind. Others, who have experienced this, can no longer understand me, because time makes you forget. They think they understand and have held on to that experience but it is impossible.

It’s too much to take when people don’t want to sit next to you, be seen around you, have you in their memory because it disgusts them. You experience total loneliness. You want to die, but you can’t because there are people who love you and don’t understand. If they ever did understand my situation they would want to kill themselves in an instant. I don’t know how I’ve made it this far.

A genetic defect prohibits the body from producing enzyme FMO3 which is needed by the liver to process the protein TMA. Unprocessed TMA causes offensive body odor known as the fish-odor syndrome.

There have been transient (temporary) cases reported in women during menstruation, in young children, and in people with copper deficiencies.

Up tp the age of 30 or beyond, poetry of many kinds.. gave me great pleasure, and even as a schoolboy I took great delight in SHakespeare
Formerly pictures gave me considerable, and music very great delight. But now for many years I cannot endure to read a line of poetry. I have tried to read Shakespeare, and found it to be so intolerably dull that it nauseated me. I have also lost any taste for pictures or for music... I retain some taste for fine scenery, but it does not cause me exquisite delight which it formerly did... My mind seems to have become a machine for grinding general laws out of large collections of facts. but why this should have cause that atrophy of that part of the brain alone, on which the higher tastes depend I cannot concieve... the loss of these tastes, is a loss of happiness, and may possibly be injurious to the intellect, and more probably to the moral character, by enfeebleing the emotional part of our nature..

The need to be connected at all times by cell, IM, email, etc..
Yesterday I was phoned by family members 5 times in an hour while out taking care of business at the store, the bank, etc.
How is this connectedness affecting us as people, as a society? Feel free to expand. thanks
