You know how Lincoln suspended habeus corpus and people were summarily thrown in jail? What happened to those people after the war, when habeus corpus was reinstated?

I am mad at my some of my cousins but I just stopped hanging out with all of them. I told my one cousin I am being fair because I don't spend time with any of them. She said it's more fair to be good with the ones that are good with you, and ignore the ones that don't treat you right. Which approach is more fair?

which have a hero (similar to the 'Jack Reacher' character in the books by Lee Child) but English, ex SAS (?), lived on Gozo and was a righter of wrongs (hit man?) and was paid loads of money.
I can't remember the author or any of the titles, just that I've read them before and would like to find them again!

My mother told me this phrase earlier. What does this signify? Does she mean that if one becomes successful people will hate/be envious of his or her success? Or what?

Any help would be greatly appreciated... :)

I would love to learn the acoustic guitar and now that I finally have the time to learn I was wondering if you could give me some suggestions on starting off. I just want to be able to play the songs that I enjoy really. Is it necessary to get a teacher to learn proper technique, or can the guitar be picked up on one's own?

I have a solid background playing violin and I know I would commit to practicing regularly, so can I learn and get quite good on my own? Last question, would you recommend renting the guitar or buying one for someone who does not yet know how to play? Thanks a lot for your help.

Today I was able to define my wealth.
Can't afford a doctor, but assume some fair health.
96 cents and a can of beans;
with a rent check due to tax my means.

But it's the holiday season and I'll find some cheer
in Wild Wolf Shiraz and a few cans of beer.
No gloom and/or doom for me this time,
for this too shall pass, as I move toward sublime.

It's not like I have never been "here"
climbing hills in a very low gear.
I count each breath as a bounty, "Cachingggg"
and those old standard carols, smiles, I do try to sing.

So make your lists and check them twice,
don't worry so much about naughty or nice,
and as a "Newbie" I just wanna say,
may your know your wealth on that certain day.

Happy holidays to all, however you celebrate,
I ask "Don't wake me early on 01/01/08."
If you're Chinese you can party for two New Years, eves
and make me some OOLONG, I have fresh green leaves.

I always try to challenge myself to read more each year. I was just curious how many everyone read. I know we still have a few weeks left this year but make a close guess. Thanks

part one-

Remembering that dream, that had silenced the mind into believing it was but an amusing tale

However,

If these two lovers did happen to meet it would cause the cutest dilemma.

“To speak to you would be like biting a rose in half just to watch the petals fly away.”


part two-

With my indulgent disposition

It was only fair for you to leave

Your love for me was much stronger than I ever thoguht

You know I had been using another love

to pleasure myself

Yet you still doted upon me

Even if it meant you harming me at the same time


“You.” appearing in the most tempting of manners, would cause one to forgive herself when she needs to forget.

Can you give me your opinion
[either here or to my email: this_is_ridiculous-@hotmail.com]
