Ciao a tutti!!!

I am curious if anyone knows the origins of this last name " Conandeas ". I have a friend who lives in Italy (Naples) with this last name. I have always been curious about name origins, languages etc. I don't want to ask him because I feel like it would be akward. All seaches always come up with Konandreas not Conandreas.

I have been learning Italian and have found that most last names end in a Vowel. It seems that "Conandreas" is more Spanish than Italian, maybe someone in his family was from a Spanish speaking Country?

Just curious.

PLEASE READ THE QUESTION BEFORE ANSWERING

IF YOU HAVE A DUMB ANSWER THEN " VAFFANCULO E VAI VIA "

Grazie !!!

I'm going to get my own room and sleep on the bed provided with the tv provided. I'm getting a killer deal on the room. But what should I ask, do or be aware of before moving in? They appear to be very nice people and I am as well. But I just want the process to be smooth and comfortable for everyone, no hidden things, no wierd pet peeves, etc. I have never moved in with people so I am a little nervous but at the same time really excited. Thanks.

I'm a bisexual teen guy thats a Christian, but almost everyday I'm so afraid, because in the bible it says "a man that lye with another man, should be put to death (hell)", and Jesus is coming back, we don't know the day or the hour. Hes coming back like a thief at night (lease expected). I spend more time worrying about judgment day, and where would we b in the future...than enjoying my life. I'm not out all the way to people, because people always say that I'm a waste of male. I should let a beautiful girl have me, than to let another funky male have me. Evey boy at my school I like is all straight guys. Its only two gay guys in the whole school, which is not my type in a relationship (feminine). Every day at school all I ever see is guys and girls French kissing in public, and that upsets me, because all the boys don't have love for the gay guy, just girls! How can I overcome all of this stuff!? Am I a waste of man, because of me giving it to another man, instead of a beautiful girl

My girlfriend and I have been together for three years and living together for one of those years. When I FIRST met her I had a two young (5 months) pit bulls Jack and Karen. I told her that to love me she had to love my dogs. She was great with them, they're great dogs and very social and soon they became OUR dogs. So, last week she brings home this CrAzY rat terrier (WITHOUT CONSULTING ME) that has been terrorizing Jack and Karen since the day she brought him home. So after ignoring him for a week and letting him terrorize them Jack barked and growled at her little monstrosity and now she thinks I should put MY dogs out or crate them all day so her dog can run free. Her dog barks constantly, IS NOT house broken, and snaps at anyone who comes to the door. This has been an on going arguement. I feel she is inconsiderate for not discussing it with me before she got another dog? What do you think?

I was thinking: If we wanted to prove whether the Gospels are right or wrong, couldn't us non-Christians preach to the people who haven't heard the word yet? I've heard that when every person on earth has the chance to hear the word of god, is when the whole Revelation thing will happen. So, if we preached to the last who haven't heard and we're all still alive, would it count?

My faith is my life - it defines me. I don't separate my faith from my personal and professional lives.
He is an ordained Southern Baptist Minister.
The quote above is taken from his official web page. If he can not separate his faith from his professional life how is he going to separate his religion from influencing his decisions if he becomes president.
Do you think he should make a speech similiar to Romney's speech answering the question if his religion is going to influence his decision since he is an ordained Baptist Minister?

i am relatively young, but i was taught that a man should take their hats off when entering a building.
It seems that the only people who know this are few guys who were taught this, and military men.
Who else thinks its rude?
I usually dont care enough to say anything unless im at work, but it still seems rude.
Did anyone NOT know of this 'rule'?

By the way, i am bad about keeping elbows off the table, so i am bad in my own way.

I am going to take spoiled for 400

There is an excuse for everything, but it's certainly not my fault. It is much easier to place the blame on others, than it is to be accountable. Wait let me get that, don't get up from your video game, you worked hard at school today....good thing you got all the people on yahoo answers to do your homework for you, or you would not have had time to play video games tonight, and you certainly wouldn't have had time for myspace ........shoot me please...society is going to crap.

And I, the Lord, give unto them a promise, that the destroying angel shall pass by them, as the children of Israel, and not slay them. Amen.

http://scriptures.lds.org/en/dc/89

Why is God going to sent an angel down to slay me, cause I get drunk? This is who your worship. I'm trying not to be rude, but this offends me that you live by a book of a God that plans on having me killed for having a little fun in life.

Consider this possibility:

At some point in the future, we discover intelligent life on another planet, but the planet contains TWO forms of intelligent life. (For example, in appearance one resembles our marsupials, and the other is similar to our bats.)

They exist peaceably with minimal interaction because they live on different portions of the planet & are active at different times of day. Each species has achieved its own kind of language, culture, technological advances, & religion:

~The marsupials are polytheistic, believe in reincarnation & consider the bats as simply a different form of sentient life.

~The bats are monotheistic, do NOT believe in life after death, & consider the marsupials to be a lower form of life.

Would sending a missionary expedition to this planet be worthwhile? Why or why not?

If you were a missionary, what would you believe your mission to be? To whom would you go first? What would your message be? Please give reasons for your answers.

OK, so I was talking with my cousin on the phone the other night and I heard her soon-to-be-husband saying something in the background behind her and then she said to me "oh, 'sam' (her soon to be hubby) wants you to know that his mother just LOVES you". I didn't know what to say since I've only met this woman 3 or 4 times in my life. I said "um haha, tell him I love his mom too(she really is a very sweet old lady)" and she did. Today she informs me that she is annoyed because his mom doesn't like her very much and she apparently "loves" me and she's kinda been taking it out on me since then. I don't know what to say. Did I say something wrong? Why is she acting like this? She declined my dinner invitation and has been very short with me. why did he say that?

and I think I wasted my money.

The hype around this movie was an example of religious insecurity that was as typical as Nicole Kidman's dry and lifeless performance. The story was fair (at best) and more than a little weird. The "anti-religious" message behind the movie that attracted sooooo much attention, was so over the top that only an IDIOT would think ill of their religion after seeing this movie.

My take on this was don't go see the movie- it was a piece of s#!t.

Anyone else feel the same way after seeing this?

What I mean, is if you spend a lot of time searching God's word with an open mind and open heart, asking for the Holy Spirit's guidance, to wind up with a wrong understanding of scripture?

I am not saying to believe everything a pastor says, but to take various idea's from various denominations and examine them, with prayer.... and then still come to a wrong conclusion?

I would also appreciate if you would list the various religions/denominations you have searched in. (In the sources area would be helpful) Thank you.
