I sent my Soul through the Invisible,
Some letter of that After-life to spell:
And by and by my Soul return'd to me,
And answer'd "I Myself am Heav'n and Hell :"

the luminous grass of the prairie hides
feet lovely and still as sleeping doves,
porcelain bones strong enough to carry a life,
but weighty and unmovable
As black Dakota hills. ~ Riesa

Hmmm... chemically changing a straight normal guy (who has sex on his mind already and willing to fight to get back to the woman he loves)? I think that chemically changing a straight man into a gay man is not really something that the military should do that. It's not disturbing, just crazy.
And they look so beautiful and graceful doing it. You have to admire that level complete disinterest in what any one thinks.![]()
Exactly! And the reason why I couldn't resist getting one myself. This is Smeagol a day or two after we got him. He's now about 3 and a half and no longer this cute but he still has him moments.![]()

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7027533.stmThe chestnut tree that comforted Anne Frank as she hid from the Nazis in Amsterdam during World War II has won a reprieve from being felled.
Amsterdam city council ruled in March that the rotting 150-year-old tree must be felled as a danger to the public.
Following protests the council has given those who want to save the tree until January to come up with a plan.

Parents ban 10-year old from video games, ends in kid's suicide Sad that this had to happen.
How idiotic, killing yourself because of games. His parents should never have bought them to him in the first place!
Shall these bones live?
That is really sad. Thanks for sharing the story, and it is yet another reason to add to my list for not allowing my children unlimited access to video games and such. They're too young now, but even when they are allowed to play it will be for a very limited time. I see no reason for them to spend hours on the computer or PS2 surfing the internet and playing games. I'm a bigger fan of sending them outside to play.
No video games during the school week and I barely get on during the weekend so my VG time is limited. I'm with you berry, send the kids outside to climb trees and get beaten up, makes them tough. And for those of you who don't decide to be daredevils, the fresh air improves your body anyway
life philosophy: "if one wants to succeed, they must become independent, if one wants to be independent, one must strive past the dificulties, using them to shape future desicions, like a sword being folded, every fold is a hardship overcome, and every fold removes one more imperfection that would destroy the completed version"
