Poem, The Brook, was read at a friends' funeral. It was beautiful & I would love to find a copy of it. It came from a book by a female author. It was very touching; reflective about life.

So I somehow got suckered into doing a wedding next weekend. I've never done one in my life, but I got talked into it because the couple doesn't have a whole lot of money, and I said I would do it for $20 and then they pay for prints.

I do know how to take pictures semi-professionally. The only thing is I've never been to a Catholic wedding. Are there restrictions? I've called the church 3 times and no one has ever returned my calls. The bride is about as dumb-founded as they come, and its not helping my nerves at all. And I'm afraid of doing something wrong and ruining the ceremony. Are there certain etiquette issues I should be aware of?

Ah!!! This may be my first wedding, and I have a feeling it will be my last!!!!!!

the only fiction books i've read since finishing highschool are the harry potter books.. lol..
all these long, made up stories.. don't like them, unless they're in movie form.

i prefer non-fiction books like books on historical events and real historical people, or biology or psychology books, and astrology books (..though some of you will say astrology is ficiton, it's real to me)

so which do you prefer??

I keep a UV filter on my digital slr lenses to protect them while in use. Should I remove them before adding a polarizing lens, or can I mount the polarizer directly to the UV filter? I know I can mount them there, but what are the advantages or disadvantages to doing so?

If some Ideas(call them 1st order ideas) arise in the mind to refer to physical objects existing external to the mind, are there 2nd order ideas (or concepts) that refer, not to external objects(& events), but to the 1st order ideas about those external objects? Would you call the 1st order kind "a posteriori empirical ideas" and the 2nd order kind "a priori transcendent (=non-empirical) ideas." 1st order ideas are verifiable by empirical means and are tested for correspndence, while 2nd order ideas are not. 2nd order ideas are tested for coherence and logical consistency and other explanatory attibutes like simplicity and comprehensiveness ,etc.

A question for the Men I need your opinions?
Ok, from my experiences with guys. Exactly every guy that I've talked to or been with comes back every time I ended with them. Would you say it's because I'm the one that leaves first or I don't know. I need your opinion

An overview of myself in a relationship: I am usually very loving and caring. And I try to be supportive as much as I can, but I am also very fun to talk to and it is easy for me to understand guys. I've been told before that I think like a guy. For some reason, guys think that they can take my kindness for weakness (silly guys). But they've come to found that I don't take no **** from anyone and I always stand my ground no matter what (which is the reason why I never go back to old relationship). I haven't had that many relation ship with guys (I can count in one hand). I've only been sexually involved with two (only had sex once with both: woudn't call it a sexual experience). So Men, Why do they come back?

Since Prussia doesn’t exist anymore... Im sorta confused what my ethnic background is. I found out my family was from Pomerania and Silesia and I was wondering what type of people lived in those areas... what is the background? What ethnic background would people living in those areas have in 1700's and up... like were they more German? Polish? Russian? Dutch? etc....
