I've had it up to my eyebrows with the commentators mentioning 2010 as being the start of a new decade. So, here's a simple reminder. A decade is ten of something, not nine. When counting out a decade, it is proper to start with...

helensguy1 Again, it has to do with how one counts. A century is one hundred, and one always starts with the number one, and ends with the number 100. For example: The First Century A.D. Started with the year 1 A.D., and ended with the year 100 A.D. Let me illustrate...

I've always liked a good story, and I love J.R.R Tolkien's timeless tales. But, unlike many who critcize the movies for not being completely faithful to the books, I say, "So what if they're not entirely faithful?" Tolkien himself...

helensguy1 Eh... I don't entirely agree. If you look at my original post, you'll see the point that Jackson is a story teller in the oral tradition. I, too, am such a story teller. And sometimes, changes to a story are necessary, in order to grab the attention of the...

I'm forty-five years old, and I'm single. I'm living with my mom, who is eighty-two, so that I can take care of her. Last year, to supplement my income, I started a home business with Tastefully Simple. My dream, however, is to be...

helensguy1 To everyone replying to my self-pity party, thanks. I should learn that God has a plan, and I'm in His tender care, and stop feeling sorry for myself. Things are looking brighter now, and I thank Him for all of you, as well as His Grace to continue. and I...

helensguy1 I would argue that many of the "added" scenes were in fact Jackson's way of touching on what was "missing" from the screenplay. The scenes which involve Arwen more than in the books were, in my opinion, Jackson's way of inserting the Tale of Beren and Lutien,...

Ever heard of The Stone cold Creamery? To me, they are the best ice cream parlor there is, hands down. I can't explain why, exactly, but I just love their ice cream.

helensguy1 I haven't been there in awhile, since they are expensive. We have two local shoppes called "Atze's", and they have great ice cream as well. And they serve other food besides ice cream.

I'm not a spammer! I just thought that a certain discussion belongs in more than one area. Even though I don't have a score of 500, I should be able to put my discussion where it would do some good, and let myLot decide where it...

I met this guy about 2 weeks ago. He keeps coming over to my house unannounced, and calling me all the time. I have told him time and time again I don't want a relationship but he won't listen to me. He keeps telling me he loves...

helensguy1 Not all guys who come on too strongly want to possess you. Being a guy, I can tell you, some of us just fall too far, too fast. It took me a long time to realize this about myself. He may be dangerous, and unstable, or he may be like I was. He may not have...
