Has he given you reason to feel this way? Does he yell at you, or insult you or demean you in the things you do?

One step at a time. Are you be best person you can be? You have to start there. Once there, you attract to you more of the same. Once you have faith that you are the best you can be, then everything you touch is influenced by YOU in a better way.

what are you afraid of??

Always make sure there is a bottle of your favorite beer in your non-throwing hand, when up at the Hockey line.

if it is power you are looking for in your relationship, it’s not the best of relationships… why would anyone be such a thing?

I wrote a book, called “Can someone please tell me why my life sucks?!” I’d love to share a free ebook copy with you. If you are interested just let me know. If you’d like to know more about the book check out my MySpace…. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?…

Hey Rich, I’m very happy for you and I’m going to let you finish, but,

EXCELLENT! Now I know who to stand behind :)

I don’t think any woman should surrender who she wants to be for the sake of a man.

Most people don’t like change, and I believe that comes from a sense of fear. Fear of the unknown mostly… but even if you know about the change the differences are enough to cause a fear of failed expectations. Major Joe provided a truth however. Everything always changes. The hair on our head is a complete new head of hair roughly every two years. Not one hair existed two years ago. Resistance to change tends to make things go much more rough. This is why some people believe that change is never a good thing… that problems always come from change. If you try to stop a boulder from rolling down the hill, you will eventually get run over by the boulder. If however you step aside, and let the boulder roll… you’ll be OK. Never stand in front of an avalanche expecting that you can stop it from happening.

seek and you’ll find :)

[quote visitor4]Richard Cor de Lyon, I agree that the elves crossing over symbolizes the transition from a magic based world of elves and other mystical creatures to the end of magic and the dominance of men. But Frodo is (essentially) just plain dying![/quote]

Yes, Frodo is dying, but I still think on a philosophical level, he believes in an afterlife… so he’s not “just” dying but rather beginning a new life with his friends the elves etc.

It would make for an interesting novel… where did that boat end up docking, and what was the world like where the elves, Gandalf and the hobbits end up. Would it be like Valhalla… Olympus?

so all those people die?[/quote]

I don’t think any of those characters believe in death[/quote]
they do believe in death i assume…according 2 the song at the end of the film:
why do u weep?!what are these tears upon ur face?!soon u will see all of ur fears will pass away,safe in my arm…U R ONLY SLEEPING….
sleep is the sign of death in literature…[/quote]

Yes… but did Tolkien write that song? Of course they “believe” in death… any sane person would… but death is something very VERY different to an elf that is virtually immortal… and Gandalf who IS immortal… and the Hobbits who lived like forever!

have you tried looking on the internet?? William Doane is a fairly common name … http://www.whitepages.com/search/Find…

Google turns up hits… and facebook does too. You’ll probably get hits on just about anyplace you look. The only solid way to find him (and it probably wont take very long unless he’s trying not to be found), is to hire a Private investigator.

I don’t think any of those characters believe in death. The afterlife to them was merely a new beginning. I believe the message that Tolkien wanted to send was that the time of elves and magic has died, and it is not the time of man. If I’m not mistaken he even wrote that in his novels. All those people passed on to their next existence apart from the world of men.

Lang may yer chimney reek!
