Is photography your main job, or just side work to bring in a bit more money? What is it that you do you do for a living?

i bought some oil paints from ebay and when i got them they have markings from china. do all oil paints contain lead? is there a website where you can check to see if your product contains lead? it has a sticker on it that says "approved product conformed to EN71-3 ASTM D-4236" does this mean there is no lead in it?

This is an alternate history that I'm considering, as World War II was fought for six years, from 1939 to 1945. The Axis (Germany, Italy, Japan) fought for world conquest, while the Allies (USA, UK, USSR) fought to prevent it. About 50 million people, both soldiers and civilians, were killed by bombings, massacres, and diseases, and the war paved way for the Cold War, the nuclear age, and the development of new technologies.

If WWII were to be extended for another 60+ years as the Axis and Allied powers remain fighting, then history would be a lot different in many ways, and I therefore look for such possiblities from all of you. Millions of more people would be killed, new weapons would be used, and nations would trade bombing raids. If nuclear energy is developed, then WWII ends in a nuclear war.

What do you think? What if World War II were extended to the present day? What would be effects be? Where in history do I begin this alternate outcome?

No one understands
That I just want to be alone sometimes
No one seems to get
That I just have to leave sometimes
I'm like a code
That everyone has just given up on figuring out
A story that
No one tries to listen to and no one wants to tell
The light is getting dimmer
Not a soul can see
Not even him
But who is he?
(YES I WROTE IT...)

I barely knew a thing about the guy... but he stood next to me for an hour and I'm telling you... my heart beat harder than it'd ever beaten and my stomach was no longer hungry and I was SHAKING... I am a teen now, I've never felt such intense feelings of love as I did then. I really do think that it was love.

Is it in our happiness that we are sad, in our sadness that we are joyous, in our boredom that we are excited, in our excitement that we are bored, in our seriousness that we are amused, in our amusement that we are serious, etc.? What do you take of this? Do you see this as a beautiful intermix of emotions or rather as confusion of our own complexity? Can two contradictory emotions (or rather a combination of contradictory emotions) be felt at the same time, but both so subtle that the heart feels mutually but yet neither?

What do you think is controlling or driving the flower?

Sham Sham, Captain Frank, and a few other men were swapping war stories. Sham told one about his uncle Sly who lost an arm during the war. "Uncle Sly met a General who was shocked that Sly had losted his arm, and yet had not received a medal for bravery. The general removed one of his own medals and pinned it on Sly's uniform. He then mentioned that had Sly lost both arms, he would have received a commission. Hearing this, Sly withdrew his sword and with ones swift stroke he cut off his other arm. Shortly thereafter, he was appointed Minister of Armaments." Captain Frank looked blankley at Sham and said, "You couldn't possibly expect anyone to believe that yarn, could you?" Why not?
