My mom recently passed away and left 4 file drawers of research. I don't have a use for this information but would a Genealogy Society or something else use them?

Such as this one: http://juch.org/gedpages/fam/fam15118.htm

If you follow it far enough back it will lead you all the way to Methuselah, Abraham, Rebecca, Adam, and Eve.

So how do you know when the factual family tree ends and the mythical people start?

My highschool is going to preform this in March and auditions are coming up. I don't know much about this musical, or about the parts. If you have ever preformed in this show or really now about it, I would love your input. From what I've heard/seen on youtube, it looks totally stupid. Let me know whta you think about this musical?

Does anyone know anything about the Poor House in Charleston, WV during the 20's? My mother had told me her mother, whose name is Julia Simms died there. This is my grandmother. Her husband was Edward Simms. My grandmother, Julia year of birth was probably around 1908, and her year of death was probably around 1929. My mother, Frances Elizabeth Simms, was born July 3, 1928. She was 13 months when her mother died. My mother had told me that her father had bit her mother, causing her to contract blood poisoning. Which led to her death in 1929. She was adopted by a couple by the name of Elder Joseph Mills Wallace and Wilemena Howard of Hampton,VA . She died in 1932.

"You drove me to suicide"

Imagine that on a suicide letter. Like saying "YOU made me kill me" "YOU drove me crazy" "YOU are frustrating me." People tend to blame others for their own actions. They don't want to take responsibility for their own tendencies. A person allows THEIRSELF to feel frustrated and allows theirself to commit suicide. It's not me, it's you!

Discuss?

please be truthful. i can take the worst of comments.

she's the sadness in the shadows,
she's the sorrow in the rain;

she's the whisper in the wind,
through the worst of all the pain.

you'll never hear her laugh,
you'll never see her smile;

but sit within her presence,
she might just stay awhile.

after everything she's done for you,
after everything she's lost,
she still found time to help you,
no matter what the cost.

do not let this fool you,
she can and will not care.
she's only out to kill you,
she thinks it's only fair.

I found an old calendar of an old market that no longer exists. There are great photos in it which I would like to reproduce as paintings. There is no info on the photographer. They are just photos of food. Is it legal for me to reproduce these images as paintings?

I've made a figure out of paper mache and would like to turn it into a latex mold/mould so as to cast multiple plaster figures.

Will the liquid latex damage the paper mache? Will this work? Has anybody tried it?

You're telling lies
You're twisting fate
When I try to get away you stop me
Spinning a web
Of things that you've said
And I'm trapped inside you're words
Freaking me out
Crying out loud
Wishing someone true could here me
Trying to pull through
Forget about you
But you're face won't leave my mind
Time won't dim this pain
Tears pour down like rain
Dispite the things you did
The secrets that you hid
I miss you

And to add to the wonder of it, the greatest philosopher in the world today is also a theist (Alvin Platinga). What is the reason for this seemingly positive relationship between the greatest minds and God?

If I paint on un-stretched canvas that's been cut off a canvas roll, can I roll the painting up gently, or will rolling it cause the paint to crack?

Secondly, do storage temperatures cause problems to the paint tubes?

Thanks in advance for your generous help. ^^
