Parallel Universe Where the Beatles Never Broke Up
I'm hoping that I've got a cup of tea in mine, because my mug is empty here.
Yes, I did enjoy that story the first time that I heard about it (a couple of days ago), and even more when I came to look at it properly just now. The songs are ...

Ngwayir (Pseudocheirus peregrinus occidentalis): Ringtail Possum of West Australia
Mira, It's amazing how much is accomplished -- and how quickly time flies -- when sharing interests, isn't it? Me, too, I love the eating sequences -- clearly this possum feels comfortable, feels cared for. There's a special soft spot in my ...

What Does a Humanitarian Worker Do?
Such an interesting bird's-eye view of this career -- a career which easily is idealized, until one actually is there, elbow- and knee-deep in the moment-to-moment realities. Humanitarian work can be a very fulfilling career, and your commitment ...

Film Review of Kiss and Tell: Shirley Temple in 1945 War Time Comedy About a Sixteen Year Old
Sheri_Oz, Shirley's later films are enjoyable to watch. It would have been interesting to see how her screen persona might have unfolded over the decades. Nevertheless, retiring from films at the young age of 21, she left a nice repertoire as ...

Film Review of Kiss and Tell: Shirley Temple in 1945 War Time Comedy About a Sixteen Year Old
I didn't realize she made movies as a teen also. Now I have to catch up on my classic films.

Parallel Universe Where the Beatles Never Broke Up
A wonderfull galluping read of science fiction and Beatlemania. I have never heard of this hoax, so it was an intriguing read. I always wonder what I am up to in my parallel universes.

Green Funerals
I've chosen my spot for a green burial. It's set my mind at rest having done so. Thanks for a very informative article.

Creating Bookmarks at Zazzle
This is a nice idea - I really wish zazzle would offer a book-mark as a separate product because not everyone is going to want to cut their own, even if they get two for the price of one.

Siegfried Sassoon: Innocence Lost in the Trenches of the Great War
The sarcasm of that poem absolutely bites, doesn't it?
Ordinarily, I'd be nodding away in agreement regarding mental institutions of this period. But Craiglockhart was hugely ahead of its time. Under the leadership of Dr Rivers, a whole ...

How Scotland was Forced into Union with England
The vote will take place on September 18th 2014.
I did smile when you asked about the healthcare system, but I'm just the same. I have my main concern too, which is the history. To me, the referendum is an historical event, part of an ongoing ...

Tree of Life Handfasting Cords for a Pagan Wedding
No, you had your eye on the purple ones in the Celtic handfasting cords. :)
The thing that I like about the Tree of Life is how universal it is, and it means roughly the same thing in most religions - wisdom and connectedness.

How Scotland was Forced into Union with England
Your question, Ember, "what does independence mean beyond the idea of independence", is well made and hits the nail on the head. Scotland already has its own political structures that are distinct from those in the rest of the UK. If Scotland ...

Siegfried Sassoon: Innocence Lost in the Trenches of the Great War
I liked Does it Matter. Artists have beautiful minds.
But also- "and put him safely away in a sanitarium" ...safely... LOL
