I guess the reason this story continues is because her life was stranger than fiction. She is the tragic figure of Marlynn Munroe in the 21st century. I can relate to this story cause I had a whacky girlfreind like her and every bone in my body tells me she will pass tragically and young. You can probably expect your kids kids to be hearing about it 50 years from now. She has become a cultural icon that rich and poor can relate to.

Really Bad Day Today!

i woke up to my kids all sick, a letter in the mailbox (put there sneakily sometime early this morning) saying that we should 'return to serve jehovah and become one of the family again' (cannot understand the association of meeting attendance = being part of a family.

family is family no matter what they choose to believe.

) and to top it all off, our 10 year old dog who has been really sick past week, had to be put down a couple of hours ago.

So sorry to hear that Winnie. I love animals too. I cried when my cat got hit. He was so cute. He crawled to this area in the flower bed and died where I had planted a single flower. I made a nice little box for him, and put his toys in there with a can of cat food. Cheer up Winnie things will get better, you can always get a new pet and have and more new memories. that's what I did. Won't never forget my pooh bear but at least he's not suffering anymore. It will all pass.

If I had some good material, why not. It would be so cool to have it go viral.

Do you know what your last name means and where it comes from . . .?

i have always been interested in what last names mean and where they come from and if someone famous in the past is related to us because of the same last name.

my last name comes from greek but my family is not greek.

it dates back to the year 700ce and it was around the time in europe when people were starting to get last names - i'm talking about the general people not monarchs.

As far as I know my name means, Teutonic mind spirit, great judge, from the house of leyen

What is your take on birthdays?

hi i am still yet to introduce myself, but i will soon i promise!!

i am a very open minded jw and currently have not been happy with their techings on alot of subjects.

one issue i have is birthdays, i do not agree with their techings on this subject, i never have.

Can't miss, what you never had, but I don't see anything wrong with it at all. There's no rights of passage or markers of life, in that useless religion. It's very sad to not have any happy moments to look back on. Usually I use my birthdays as a moment of refection, on where I am, what I accomplished in the last year, what I need to work on etc. It's like taking inventory, so I usually spend my birthday alone. No one I know celebrates it.

Wagner - inspired kingdom melodies???

i'm just listening to some classical music online at work and the piece "die meistersinger, overture" is on- so many of its phrases (or whatever you call little sections of the song) are totally the same as some kingdom melodies... .

right now i can hear "look i am making all things new" (or whatever the actual title is) in wagners piece.... .

aaaiiigh.

Doesn't suprize me, Wagner was Adolph Hitlers favorite composer.
