jdrhodes for clarification are we talking about family members, friends, or aquaintences that are acting down on you? It can be hard to deal with when the people you love and are close to you feed you negativity. My experience has been that once a new child arrives...

jdrhodes thanks for the response, I will check out that link. You can also find some neat videos on youtube...just search shaman. I enjoyed listening to peyote songs in particular, they are very relaxing yet invigorating.

jdrhodes I was guided on a spirit quest when I was a teenager to find my first totem. I practiced wicca throughout highschool, and was a member of a coven of three. This was also around the time I found the books of Don Juan. I got away from practicing for a long while...

Are there any professional or semi-pro photographers here? What kinds of photographs do you shoot (i.e. wedding, portrait, or something else)? Do you have a business model or website? What kind of gear do you use? How do you...

jdrhodes Thank you for your response... I enjoyed your website, it is very diverse. I noticed that in addition to weddings and portraits you have a section for modeling. That would bring us to the advertising realm of photography. Do you do anything in particular to...

jdrhodes Thanks for your post Paul. That is an interesting concept, that photographers can compete and cooperate at the same time. Every photographer is different. I've met photographers who treat their work with every uptmost care to create a "true piece of art."...

jdrhodes How did you approach the newspaper for work? Do you just take the pictures and see if they want them, or do you go on assignment with a reporter? This is an interesting field because your images are exposed to many more people than a client-based business like...

jdrhodes Yes, I agree that photographing weddings can be extremely stressful. In my exerience the bride and the bride's mother are quite possibily the most dangerous mammals in north america. A grizzly bear mother protecting her cub comes in second. I've also shot...

I save pennies, and have been for sometime now. I only save them because no one in my home like to use them. They lay them all around the house, so I started putting them in a water jug, just to get them out of the way. My...

jdrhodes I've heard rumors of an American trade union involving all of north and south america, with the possibility of a new currency altogether, not unlike the Euro. I've even seen prototype coins on sale on Ebay called Ameros. Who knows what is is store for the...

I know what I think it is, and I have good reason too - but what about you? Do you have theories of your own - or did you read it somewhere... Have you guess or are their clues in the film. Let me know what you think :)

jdrhodes I really haven't seen Pulp Fiction in ages...my wife can't stand all the jumping around, I think it gives her headaches...no I do not know the other clue, but I would like to hear it. The other movie I loved way back when Pulp Fiction was big was Natural Born...

I read the trilogy of JRR Tolkien a long time ago and it was a very fascinating read. When the Harry Potter books and movies came out I could not help noticing some similarities foremost of which was the use of giant spiders. I...

jdrhodes Sure, we all have character stereotypes...they are based on age, gender, occupation, wealth, and yes...race. The reason these stereotypes are popular is because people can relate to the character, either they identify with their situation directly or the...

here's a pretty coin. You won't find these in the pockets of any americans anymore. You can't buy anything for a cent nowadays but I bet you someone would be willing to trade you for this one!

jdrhodes That's really cool. If they are particulary old or in very good condition may I suggest you aquire a protective device for their preservation? An airtite coin holder can keep them from getting scratched up and then you may feel more comfortable handling...

jdrhodes Wow those are some great ideas! Do you write for Associated Content? What type of articles do they generally deal with? I've been thinking about writing a numismatic book and if I could do it article by article and get paid for submissions, then compile all...

jdrhodes I'd like to deal in coins actually. If you buy them on Ebay, where do you find your person to sell to? Do you focus on certain coins? I like American coins...particulary merc dimes, walking liberties, and other silver. Which coins do you generally buy? I've...

jdrhodes I agree, you can get some great coins in circulation. It is very difficult here to collect older coins without buying them however. Buffalo nickels, mercury dimes, ect...they just do not circulate anymore. I've been attempting to assemble a u.s. type set and...

jdrhodes My interest in oldies is rather odd, I actually like them because they don't remind me of anything..I was born in 77. My folks were young adults during the 50's, I was the youngest and they had me pretty late in the game. I guess the oldies remind me of my...
