My best friend has had a rough year. She lost her husband about six months ago, and is now somewhat superstitious. She met a guy who she can talk to and lean on when she's having a rough time (that is... when he's not beeing an @ss). She is 22, and he is 33. When she realized their ages were multiples of 11 she counted how many dragonflies she has tattooed on her body. (She has become obsessed with dragonflies since the death of her husband.) To her surprise, there were 11 dragonflies. She asked me if I had heard anything about the number 11 or multiples of 11. I have only heard of the time 11:11 "Make a wish" and of course the 9/11 attacks. Does anyone know about any superstitions or other references to the number 11?

Consider this:

I have been in a 17 year gay relationship.

If my partner were in intensive care, I could not visit, for I am not "immediate family."

If he should be incapable of making decisions for himself, I would not be allowed to make the decision to "pull the plug", sustain his life or anything else...

Should he need long term care, I would not have the legal right to take him from the hospital and provide that care.

Should he pass, I would not automatically inherit his property, and that property which we both own, could be forced to sell, and divide assets with his "family"

Even if we go to the expense to hire attorneys and write living wills, etc.... 80% of the time when these wills are contested in court, the courts will side with the "blood relative" over "domestic friend".

Why does it threaten the straight married folk to allow me the right to visit my partner in the hospital? Why is this a threat to the institution of marriage?

Would Christ or any of his 12 apostles travel in a Rolls Royce paid for donations to the Church? I am not saying that it is wrong to preach the "Prosperity Gospel" at all. I am not saying that the salaries of preachers are too high, I am just wondering if we are missing the mark when we buy huge houses when we have no children or just 2 or 3 children, buy Jets, huge gas guzzeling SUVs when we have only ourselves and 1 child to transport. ..Buy Rolls Royces while our fellow man and children are in toxic mobile homes in New Orleans, while people are starving or being enslaved in North Africa, people in the mountains of West Virginia and the Ozark Mountians of Arkansas and Missouri have no way to afford dental care: teeth rotting out, children in public schools of our inner cities do not have protection to walk to school and back safely, suburban kids falling through the cracks who shoot up shopping malls and colleges due to lack of attention, ect. Am I looking at this wrongly?

I have bad news for some people on yahoo. I have very thick skin and you just waste your tiome trying to insult me. You are actually only insulting your own intelligence.
My questions are the backbone of the entertainment value of yahoo. They are thought provoking and timely. Many people out there are in tune to what has and may happen. They are the ones I prefer. No one will insult me on yahoo. I have been exposed to experts insulters who gave up. Most of you are beginners.

I'm getting no where with this on the science page so I thought I'd try here. I'm interested in learning the Creationists' explaination of the methods God used to bring about the formation of the Giant's Causeway, I have read previously that it is related to Noah's flood. So if at all possible could someone explain to me the geological processes implemented by God and please don't just say that God did it full stop. Or turn this into a debate about weither or not Creationist science is a pseudo science. Thank you.

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at 900 miles an hour,
That's orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power.
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see,
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at 40,000 miles an hour,
Of the galaxy we call the Milky Way.

Our galaxy itself contains 100 billion stars
It's 100,000 light years side to side.
It bulges in the middle, 16,000 light years thick
But out by us its just 3,000 light years wide
We're 30,000 light years from galactic central point,
We go round every 200 million years
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding Universe.

The Universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light you know,
12 million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
Because there' bugger all down here on earth.

I'm protesting against the movie "The Golden Compass" because it was made to transfer people from their religon to aitheist (a person who doesn't belive in God). I want to know how I can contact the person your wrote it and the person who filmed it. I'm making a petition about it and I need to send it to them. Also is there any other ways I can protest without getting in trouble with the law. I'm only 12 and I don't want that much bad stuff on my perminit record already.

I find that pride is the cause of many problems in our world. Jesus warned about being corrupted by the "yeast of the Pharisees". How can I become more humble and patient?

I hear so many people complaining about how society is going you know where in a hand basket. I disagree. I think we are MORE moral than 200 years ago. Think about this. It is no longer legal to beat your wife, own slaves, treat children as property, or deprive everyone who is not a white male of civil rights. I can think of many other things that have changed for the better.

I'm just not sure which one to buy first....what do you think?
1. Guided Meditations - Jack Kornfield: 6 essential meditations (Breath meditation, Mind Like Sky meditation, Visualization, Releasing ego/attachment, Inner Sage)
2. Journey to the Crystal Palace - Jackie Haverty: 60min meditation (release stress, inducing healthy sleep)
3. A Guided Meditation - Glenn Harrold: Into a magical garden.

Ideas anyone? Have you heard of any of these?
