I have been doing genealogy searches on my father for over 3 yrs & managed to find one half sister in St.Louis,Mo.
Her mom refuses to talk about our father & no one else will say anything online or any of the genealogy sites with our surname.
It is like our family tree just went to firewood!
Lots of Pooles out there but none answer our call or claim any ties with us.
I found out our father died on Sept.12,1996 in Galveston,Texas,but is buried in Millwee Cemetary,in Seviere Co.Arkansas.
No brothers,sisters,children or wives will answer our call.
His name was Jerry M.(Milford or Medford)Poole.Said he was born in Mirando City,Texas in late 20's or early 30's.
He had family in St.Louis,Mo. & Port Aransas,Texas.
We don't care about inheritances or any of that,just family ties!
Thanks for any help.

I think I'm pretty good at acting. I'm still trying to get over the stage fright thing. But My dream is to become a famous actress or at least be one t.v but what are the chances? Will I have to devote my whole life to acting or what?

I have been reading the answers for some of the WW2 and Holocaust questions here on Yahoo! Answers and the range I am seeing is incredible. Everything from 6 million to 50 million. I am pretty sure (from watching History Channel and such) that there were about 10 million "undesirables" killed by the Nazis (if your numbers are different I would be interested) but I am also wonder what were the numbers on soldiers from different countries and civilians (in bombing, treason starvation...). Does any one have a total, that they believe is accurate and why do you think that? I don't need exact numbers from each country. Thanks!

I really don't know if I want them or not. To tell you the truth I think I look horrible in any pictures, regardless if it's professional or not. Even if I did decide to get senior pictures I don't really have anything really special to wear and nothing cool to put in the pictures. I also have not so great a smile and feel even though I would smile and they would photoshop my braces out I still am weary. I'm also concerned about money, my father passed away about 3 years ago and I've always held myself back from things because I'm worried about money since my mom is a single working mom. I'm really conflicted. T_T

People are becoming more selfish and materialistic. Money and power have always been part of humanities problems. It seems though, with big business especially, that we are becoming less empathetic towards each other. We seem to desire material objects above many things. What will the future be like? Any ideas?

It's about old love and trying to forget about it.

Why be sad?

Is it because I'm not near you?

Is it because i'm not holding you?

Is it because i forgot to call you?

I'm sorry for being a fool I'm sorry for blocking you.

I miss you But why so sad? I didnt mean to hurt your feelings that bad

Sometimes I miss holding you too

Sometimes I miss being near you

Sometimes I miss you calling me

We cried over everything else but let's not cry over an old kiss.

I guess..But why should we be sad about this?

I know it's short but tell me what you think of it so far.
I'm only 15 so Sorry if it's crappy

Ordinary Things

Tuesday night the snow fell
In Biblical proportions
And piled in deep drifts
That obscured the road
And in the morning
We pondered the snow blower
Its reek and roar
Or the shovels
And our aching backs.

We watched our breath,
Exhaling white streamers
Into the bitter cold
Just there in the garage.

Having done neither,
Our fingers tingling,
Frost forming in my beard,
We decided that not one
Or the other had merit
And contented ourselves
With hot chocolate
And books
And waited for the snowplow.
Or the spring.

Censorship of books is an oft-debated topic in our society. From having a book thrown out of a library to simply placing it in a special room, censorship offends many and at the same time, pleases many. How do you feel about it?

I came across this article, and frankly, it made me angry. But it also made me wonder how others approach literary censorship. So, I'm just looking for your opinions, backed up by facts if possible. If you want to read the article (it's short, if that is a deciding factor in your choosing to read it/not read it), here's a link:

I did undergrad for writing. So I have a playwriting, sketch comedy, and comedy writing class under my belt. In college I did two one act shows for other people's directing classes. Since college (it's been a year and a half), I've only done one play. Should I add my high school credits to my resume to bulk it up? Should I put on the classes? Or should I attach a separate piece of paper with the high school credits? I was also an extra on an NBC tv show (still running).. should I add that as well? Help!
