What is the most you would spend on bedroom set or dining set? I like Victorian Style or 18th Century furniture with dark wood (mahogany or cherry). I like lots of design and carvings. The two dining sets that I looked at (table with leaf and 6 chairs) cost $2,100 and $2,400 with tax. The bedroom set that I looked at (king bed including frame, headboard and footboard, dresser, mirror, five drawer chese and one nightstand) cost $2,500. What's the most you'd spend on each of these? I'm talking formal for both of these.

Possible to make a QUEEN size bed into a KING size bed? I've got a queen size bedroom set but upgraded to a king size bed (standard mattress type). I was thinking about using plywood and wood supports to set the new king size box on top of the old queen. Of course, the headboard and footboards would not be the proper size but I don't think I'll mind the 6 inch or so overhang. Has anyone tried this or seen it done? Thanks! cherry, you may be right but just like any bedroom set under $5000 .... I won't get anything trying to sell it. Also, like any bedroom set you simply can't find or buy the bed alone. It's a big old ash set with a cannonball style bed. Impossible to even find something similar to match. :(

Whats my Pennsylvania House Bedroom set worth? And whats the collection called? I have a Pennsylvania House bedroom set that includes a king size head board, tall chest and a dresser with a mirror as well as a night stand.

How much is a antique dixie bedroom set worth? I have a seven piece Dixie Bedroom set. It is a king size bed, two night stands, a mirror, and a dresser. All original set.There are gold pulls and the bed has four carved posters and sits up two feet off the ground. This set was my grandparents and has the Dixie stamp on the back of the pieces. I have no idea how much to sell this for or where to sell it. Any ideas? This set is not antique. I would venture to call it vintage though. I can not find a date on it but do think it was made sometime in the late 40s/50s since it is a family heirloom from my grandparents. It has the Dixie stamp and an item number though and made in the U.S.A.

How do you know you are getting a good mattress? My husband and I have decided to finally invest in a nice bedroom set. We are looking for a king size bed. My question is, how do you know you are getting a good comfortable mattress that is going to last? Is it all about the money you spend?
How long does it usually take to get bedroom furniture? Do most stores have you "order" the furniture? I'm in the market for some new bedroom furniture. I'm not necessarily in a hurry to get it, but I am curious about how long I can expect the process to take. I plan on buying from a "showroom" type furniture store, as opposed to a warehouse or clearance center. Plus, I'm getting a king bed and I hear that most stores cater towards customers looking for queens. I guess I will have to "order" the furniture. If you ordered from a store like this, how long did it take? Also, I did find one set that i like, but i was told they cant deliver for 7-8 weeks due to back order. Is that standard wait time or way too long?
Creating my own King size headboard...HELP!>? I would like to create my own King Size headboard for our bed. I've been shopping for new bedroom sets and nothing is quite what I am looking for. I seen an episode of that home make over show and there was one where they made a headboard. I'm going to have it against a red wall and my theme is contemporary, black white red. The picture in my head is black... with button stitches... or dark wood black, with a red centered (not sure the word I am looking for) pudgy, pillowing kinda part that has the cris cross stitching with button accents... I am probably not explaining it right... Any idea where to start and how to go about this project? My husband is a general contractor and thinks I am nuts and just wants me to go buy one.... Any other ideas of how to create a headboard? I was also thinking of no head board and simply hanging like a black panel against the wall and draping it to look like a headboard......I am no interior designer thats for sure but I am looking for the cheapest, best looking design, and original!! Definately original.. Again, furniture is black (dressors, night stands.. etc... bedding is black white, with red accents... room walls are white with the exception of the red wall the bed will sit against (headboard sits against)... anyway...looking for some ideas on how to make this work...any other tips or recommendations for the layout or decorating.. please share!
Are furniture and bedding companies seriously stopping production of Full Size Beds, n covers? In my freecycle group i read the following post "Me and my son have just recently moved into our new apartment and he doesn't have a bed I would like to upgrade to a queen since they are no longer manufacturing full size bedroom sets and give him my old bed. I would like to see if anyone has one in good condition that they might be wanted to get rid of. If so please contact me and let me know. Thanks." Are they seriously trying to only have Twin, Queen and King? or is this lady confused.

Movie/Fairytale? Group of sisters, overprotective dad/king, sneak out of bedroom at night? My friend and I were talking about movies and fairytales we remembered from our childhood (I'm 21) and I remembered something I used to watch. I only remember snippets but I know that there was a group of sisters that all shared a room. Maybe about 6 or 7 of them? and I think their overprotective dad (possibly a king or someone high ranking) used to lock them in their room and somehow they would sneak out at night time and come home without him realising? Possibly through a secret passageway? I have a feeling he was also trying to set either 1 or all of them up with princes? I can't even remember if it was real life or a cartoon I just remember the story and it's killing me!!!!! does anyone know?

How do you force a retail store to deliver the merchandise that you purchased? I purchased a living room set (love seat and sofa) and a bedroom set (king size bed-frame, dresser and mirror, 2 nightstands) from this retail store in a nearby mall in January 2010 and finally got some of it in early March, but I am still waiting on my king size bed-frame and the additional night stand.

Who should get the bedroom? My husband, our son and I are downgrading to a one bedroom apartment to save money for a house. We plan on turning our living into a bedroom by night. We have a king size bed with a huge headboard and drawers in the footboard. We also have two large matching dressers (one of which is very long with a mirror). Our son, has a bedroom set also. He is 6 and has a large bed with a bookcase headboard and two dressers. We want to know if we should give our 6 year old in the bedroom or give him the livingroom? Kandi M...Maybe you are not feeling the pressure of the money crunch, but majority of us are. Also, maybe you already have your dream home but most of us are trying to save for it. I congratulate you on being the richest most all together person, but I am doing my best like everyone else. My son has a roof over his head, food in his stomach, every toy he has ever asked for and he does not need or want for anything. We are trying to save money to buy a home. I don't think that it makes us bad parents in any way.
Log cabin style bedroom set? I'm looking for a log cabin style bedroom set. Me and my husband have been sleeping on a mattress and boxspring on the floor for long enough (ghetto I know). I went to The Roomstore and they had some sort of bedroom set that was supposed to look "rustic" and supposedly had a "log cabin feel", but it wasn't doing it for me. I want one that looks like actual logs. Does anyone know where I can buy a bedroom set like this? Have you seen it anywhere or do you have any online links? ~King size
do you have a hard time letting go of old furniture? i have a king size canopy bed (dark wood frame), with lighting and mirrors at the "ceiling" part of the canopy, its a beautiful bed but i've had that bed for over 12 years. it now has war marks, needs one or two very minor repairs, possibly repainted/polished, and it has to be assembled by furniture people otherwise it can be a disaster if not assembled properly. I have alot of years and memories in that bed, its beautiful when its put together but with all the work it'll take to get it fresh & "new" again, i could get a brand new bedroom set. i dont want to sell it. a part of me wants a brand new bedroom set but i'm so attached to this bed, its also "one of a kind" you dont find beds like this much anymore. do any of you have a hard time letting go of stuff you've had for so many years? how do you get rid of that feeling? i guess i just want a new start . . . . and to let go of the old, bring in the new . . . . anyone ever felt that way?
My husband and I have a queen size bed with a matching bedroom suit.? It was given to him several years ago.

I have looked at several furniture stores to see if I could match the bed frame itself but, I have no luck.
How to get my personal belongings back? My ex fiance and I broke up in April and since it was an abrupt ending, I just wanted to let everything cool off before I needed to get all of my things. Well... I am ready! But I am not sure how to go about this... I know he won't just let me in, so I am pretty sure I would need a police escort, but do they do that? (Im in Missouri--if it matters) And I would need movers because it is a huge king size bedroom set that I could not move myself. Any suggestions? ALSO: I do have all of the reciepts that show the purchases in MY name.
Where is the best place to sell an item worth over £2000 on the internet? Hi all, I want to get rid of my bedroom furniture. The whole set, (dresser, king size bed, wardrobe and mirror) cost me around £5000, as it is made from real mahogany, and hand crafted in Italy. So my questions are these: 1.Do you think ebay is a good place to sell something of this value? 2.How would I go about doing so, sell each piece individually or as a whole set? I've only seen bedroom furniture sell up to around £700 on eBay, but I don't think I can find anything which has sold for more... I know I won't get £5000, but its only three years old and in very good condition! Should I sell it on eBay with a reserve, how can i convince eBayers understand the quality of such items even without sounding too patronising? ....or should I try to sell it in the local newspaper? Gumtree...? Any help will do! Thank you!
Why am I so tired all the time? The last few weeks I have been exhausted. I am 25 and healthy. I usually get between 7-9 hours a sleep a night. I have a desk job and no major stressors right now. My husband and I just got a new king size pillow top mattress and bedroom set a few weeks ago and I've noticed it was about the same time I started feeling tired. It's incredibly comfy...we love crawling to into bed. I am having a hard time believing that I'm sleeping worse in it. I feel like I sleep through the night and have been dreaming (or at least remembering my dreams) WAY more than normal. Yet no matter what time I get up or how much sleep I get, I feel like a zombie. And it lasts for most of the day. Coffee helps a little, but not long term. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm so tired to feeling so tired! Thanks!
Help me find a good bed that suits my "expectations"? I'm looking for a good bed to buy for my room, because I'm going to renovate over the summer. I'm looking for a full size bed, that's black (or has a really dark finish) , that has storage (or room for storage boxes underneath), and has a sleek, modern, contemporary look. It would be awesome if it had a headboard of some sort. (Sorry for being picky... XD ) My mom said it'd be good if it was solid wood, but what are the pros and cons of using solid wood? What about engineered woods? (Other than price) We live in a humid town. Sorry for all the vague questions...

If a store has an "all sales final" policy are there exceptions? I ordered a bedroom set from a furniture store. When it was delivered, there were two pieces damaged. The store said they would replace the damaged pieces, however after three days I changed my mind totally about the set because of the quality and asked that they come and pick it up and cancel replacing the damage pieces. The manager said she would have to get back with me on it. Two weeks went by and when she called she said that at the bottom of my receipt it says all sales are final. She was unable to answer why she didn't tell me this earlier. She also told me that it was a special order and that's why it couldn't be returned. When I bought it they never told me it was a special order because it was a King size bed. I don't want the set and they refuse to take it back. Do I have a legal case. What about the fact that the merchandise delivered was damaged. I heard somewhere that the quality of the goods cancels a no return policy. Am I obligated to keep a poor quality set?

When we were together at first it was perfect and of course I know we were young, but that perfectness starts to fade when you get older and more responsible. She is 2 years younger than me and not the most responsible person in the world, not cheating wise either, but financially, drinking etc..etc..I party too and what not but now what she has just done has messed with my plans. We were together for the first 4-1/2 years and like i said when you get older that fades a bit. Well she broke up with me in May of 2006, come to find out she wasnt cheating on me, but was talking on the phone with someone 4 months previously to that. Whatever...I had put on like 69 Lbs during the first 4-1/2 years and figured i would start running and get healthy again, so I wouldnt think about it too much. We still talked for like the first 2 months we were split up and I still wanted her back, but some how she was all about this other guy she didnt barely know. I said FUK her and moved on just working out a lot and getting healthy. Before I knew it, (i never weighed myself), I had people asking asking if I lost a lot of weight, well the next few weeks went on and i went shopping and really noticed a difference. I was back to what I was at in High school, but maybe even a little better. I wasnt ripped, but I was healthy and looked good again. Good enough too basically get any girl I wanted to have but, no matter what girl I was with during this time I still wanted her back and I forgot too mention that shes not the smallest girl. Shes pretty heavy for a girl, but not like 200 lbs or nothing...like 170. Blonde hair, blue eyes, Huge boobs, (Which i love), besides that...It had been like 5 months now and I was at work one day and got a phone call from her. She wanted to meet up for dinner or whatever. Of course i jumped at the opportunity. I wanted her back. Well the guy she was with was in the marines and was in Iraq. So to make a long story short. I started Dj ing on the side. She got very jealous all the time at the girls hitting on me becasue it was at a local bar were we knew everyone. Obviously we got back together after 6 months of separation...This was in December of 2006...We started over very good everything right...I moved out and into a house with her cousin which was already a good friend of mine that i knew before we were ever together 8 years before...He needed help on rent and i wanted to move out...She was still 20 and wasnt financially stable like i was , like i always have been...so i made the move to do so....this was in August 2007...At that time before i moved in, me and her went shopping for a new bedroom set, and which of course i gave in and we bought a california king full oak set which she wanted for our future...so it was at the house with me where i lived with her cousin only a quarter mile away from where she lived..we were always together, she always stayed the night on the weekends and etc...we all have the same friends and me and her family are very close...meaning her brother...my age, and her cousin, my age ..actually 2 years older..same high school etc...everything went fine and then i got in a little trouble about april of 2008...i had a lot on my shoulder after that...I decided to move back home to save up to buy a house with her becasue at this point she had a decent job that had security...I quit dj ing for her becuase she didnt like it a long with other things like sports gambling which she didnt like, only because i knew it would help us out in the long run...I still to this day have been with the same company for almost 2 years...(ive always had a steady job, previous to this , i worked for comcast for 5 years +). If you guys are still reading, you probably get the idea, I will tell you the rest if u would like...But bottom line last friday she said she just wasnt happy with me at the end of the day emotionally, I was shocked and still am...she is still confused and just wants time...I dont know,? give me some input.. Basically i had to wake up early so i couldnt finish the entire story of what exactly happened. So...I moved back home and am still there I know I wasnt being myself after I got in trouble and was turning a lot of my negativity on her at the end of the day which i shouldnt do and I know that. November of 2008 I buy her a 1 ct. diamond ring just because. Not an engagment ring or anything, but a nice ring. Very nice ring. were still fine as far as i thought. Our anniversary was right around the same time, so she got me an IPOD that hat permanent etching on it that read LOVE YOU ...HAPPY ANNIVERSARY...I thought everything was peachy and we made plans to buy a house. Next thing you know she says this last Friday when shes wasted and she will still not talk to me face to face. Not fair to me at all. I wrote her an 8 page note, sent her flowers monday, and bought her entire office lunch unexpectedly. I keep telling her just give me chance to prove I can be "ME".. She cant make up her mind.. She will not talk me face to face since then and it has been almost a week now. I love this girl more than anything in my life and thought we had plans..Come to find out shes been telling her cousin she hasnt been happy for a while with my attitude and what not. I said what when i heard that? we were fine 12 hours before she said this to me. And again she was wasted when she said this because she was downtown for opening day of baseball. I didnt go. I have not seen her face to face. I want to talk it out or try but she wants like nothing to do with me and I dont understand. I know 100% theres no other guy in the picture this time, but this doesnt make any sense to me. Why would she want to throw 1/3 of our lives away. She said she still loves me, but just wants time..I want her back and I want to make things right and i want to prove to her that I can be the guy that she was deeply in love with before..Thats all I want..I am still undecided on what to do. I am to the point where if she wont talk to me i am just going to go over her house and make her look me in the eye and say this..and make her break down and make her realize what this will do to us if she does this...Im heartbroken and cant concentrate at work..i cant eat...cant sleep..and she is being very selfish right now by not at the least, talking this out like adults. I am going to ask her to dinner on friday and if she says no i am going over there unexpectedly and am going to get closure on the situation..I am trying to not text and email her all the nice stuff to give her space, but i dont know if thats the right thing or to just let it be for right now. I have never seen her act this selfish about not at least giving me a final chance to make it right and make her happy again. I will not give up until that happens i keep telling her but she keeps saying "I dont know" "I cant say yes or no" to keep me in the loop i think. Bottom line is I just want to make her happy again..

Where can I get bedding for my king sized bed? I have an all red and black theme in my bedroom. I have an almost black rosewood king sized bed being made. I plan to buy a memory foam mattress, but need linens to cover it. Honestly, price is no object, I want the best. Only red and/or black. I would prefer the comforter/duvet be mostly/completely red, to stand out against the dark wood. An abstract pattern or oriental design would be perfect. I have checked overstock, amazon, bed bath and beyond, and the other sites that pop up in google. I eventually gave up because there are thousands of sets and very few do not contain any other colors. Silk, satin, whatever, as long as it doesn't feel cheap. Thanks for any info!
How much will my 2 bed flat be worth before the Olympics? Should I keep it? I am at this point unsure if I should keep my London property as an investment, or sell it at the prices I may or may not get for it NOW, +/-£245 000 Given all the developments going on around this area and all the new shopping complexes that were recently completed, I as a novice in the property market, am not sure if it will be worth a lot more than now, around the time of the Olympics. This place is situated North of the river, in E16 about 15 mins from Stratford, but not IN Stratford... DOES that matter? 1 of 6 flats in a purpose build block, this two-bedroom first floor apartment is Well-presented throughout and set within a small secure gated scheme. An impressive property, conveniently close to King George V DLR station and other links which offers easy access to Canary Wharf and to the City. It has an impressive reception room, Modern Kitchen and Finishings, including mirrored sliding doors for the main bedroom wardrobes & a bathroom with separate shower cubicle.

Beacuse if he did due this, My family has one of the two only bed room sets in existance and that is Henry the 8th and Ann Bolyin's bedroom set. WHO is the other wife's bed room set with Henrys head carved in to the right post at the head of the bed and her head will be on the left post on the head of the bed? I have been told this story when I was growing up about how Henery had 6 wives and if she didnt give him A male to be the king break the bed and off with her head. I need A son you see. Is any of this true???My great great Grand father Threikill brought this bed room set from england when he and his wife moved from england in the 1800's. and it had been in his family for 200 years befor that,or close to it. Who is the 2nd bedroom set with Henry and where is it at?

Need to know least expensive, most efficient and tips to do shabby chic painting of furniture.? I have pieces from 2 different bedroom sets.The pieces I want to use from one, are the king headboard and 1 men's dresser. (Doors open to 3 square, open shelves along the top. Below them is 3 drawers each about 4 inches deep.Below that section--doors closed--is 2 more drawers) They're wood--and finished with something clear--but, I don't know what. I have 2 bedside tables from another set. I need the most help with these. They have a few coats of a cream color paint(I believe it is the original factory paint) on them already, They are 24"-24", the drawers are on great rollers etc.--very well made. There's stickers on them and I don't care to wonder what else is on them. I know they need to be sanded down but, how much? To the wood? To get off the crap--stickers and such? Any other way to remove thick paint without sanding? Ways I can use the color that is there without taking it all off? I have no problem making each set a different colors/finishes etc. For instance shabby chic in white (or a subtle color)--I need what is easiest for the wood finish pieces. The bedside tables I was thinking of crackle finish or just painting them once they are smooth enough (could take a long time to sand thick paint on them), metallic overcoat on a color, Freehand a design or just plain multicolor like an abstract.or Shabby chic also IDEAS??? HELP ME!! color suggestions for shabby chic--no white please---pale pale pale blue,pink, creamy colors--lilac, lavender, orchid, pale green or isn't there a depression green? Anyway, any ideas are welcome. Please if this is a joke to you--at least make sure the jokes are funny..Thanking you all in advance. I can't wait for your ideas thanks again all!! Ciao
I need help creating a "modern" victorian Master bedroom feel...? I just redid my entire master bedroom and something is not right... My husband and I bought a gorgeous burgandy comforter with matchng curtains, all of which have big gold flowers on them with olive/ sage green leaves. Our furniture is a deep walnut color and I just painted the walls to match the leaves. My husband LOVES it... me not so much... it needs something. It looks like a room in a little old lady's victorian home, pretty... just too grandmaish for me. I feel like something could jazz it up a bit and make it feel a little more modern, but not sure what. I prefer the less is more concept, I can't stand clutter or business. Throw in the fact that I am very practical and this room is small and has a king size bed, but we're not changing it or the comforter set. The hardware is gold and two pictures that we have up and for sentimental reason will not come down are both framed in antique gold... I know... it doesn't help matters. So far one wall is bare. Any ideas? P.S. the trim around the doors, floorboard, and closet itself is white. I like the black idea... would it clash?
What do you think of the following bedrooms set? I want a bedroom set but I not sure. What do you think of the following: http://www.roomstogo.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=showRoom&roo_id=1567 My spouse likes it because it make him feel like a king but I not to sure if i do. I feel it will blend in with our brown/khaki tone tile and it makes me feel not relax when looking at it. I I'm not sure if i want to spend the money on it. think it kind off cool but I have this feeling at the same time that i will not be happy if i do buy it. What do you think? Do you give it thumbs up or down? Thank you! Sadly I can't rate you because I'm a level to but all of your answers really helped. Thumb up to all. I just cancel my purchase today (I had 48hrs to cancel) because I just couldn't see myself next to this bedroom set.
I can't seem to find a high rise bed? So, I’m getting ready to replace all my bedroom furniture and I currently have my bed frame sitting on 6 inch plastic risers I found at bed bath and beyond. For my new bedroom set I would like to find a King size bed that sits 6" to 8" higher then a normal bed set would so I can eliminate the plastic risers without loosing any height. I would like a Head board, and a footboard would also be nice. I will also need two nightstands that are high enough to match the bed (36 to 40 inches) in height. My problem is I can't find a retailer and/or manufacture that makes/sells a bed that fits my needs. So the root of my question is where I can find one. I have tried the fallowing Google searches that bared no results. *King Size High Bed *King Size tall bed *High rise bed Any help or advice would be great. Thanks

Young, single guy needs to know how to lay out bedroom? Ok heres the deal. I have a really nice 2 bedroom condo. Brand new and really cool. However the master bedroom is not very big at all and I have a king size bed. The closet makes the room even more awakward. The best way to set up the bed and give me maximum space in the room would be to put the bed up against the wall. But is this something you do with a king-sized bed? I fear it seems a little to childish and my "lady friends" might think that. So even though the room is small do I center the bed so that you can get in or out of it on each side or do I put it up against the wall to maximoze the space? Please help!
How do you get a cough medicine stain out of white-stained wood without harming the wood? My mother and father bought me a new bedroom set (finally my room isn't Lion King themed anymore). After a couple of months, I got came down with a cold and began to take a lot of cough medicine (red colored). I put the bottle down on my dresser (which is pretty messy with tons of papers on top) and a couple weeks later, I realized that the bottle leaked and there is a red ring on my white-stained wood dresser. I don't really want to tell my parents, because I know they'll be disappointed in me because it was my first bedroom set that wasn't themed the Lion King. I would really like to take care of this myself. So, is there a way to get the red cough medicine out without harming the wood? I tried to buff it out with a wet rag and some regular hand soap, but that didn't work. Any suggestions?
IS MY SISTER /JEALOUS/? I've just turned 13, and I've always loved Stephen King and Dean Koontz books, as well as Patricia Cornwell. When I was littler (8 and 9) I was neglected a lot. My sister was taken to movies, out for nice clothes, got a new bedroom set and even got her room painted while the only things of real value I got were things that used to be hers, and either were outgrown, or about to be thrown out. So, instead of crying (I was tired of that) I took up books and music. through the fourth grade and into the sixth grade I was sure to watch The Big Ten and VH1 music videos every morning. Soon I knew like, every song on the radio by heart. That's also when I took up reading Stephen King. Now, before you say that's "bad for me", or "too innapropriate", blame my parents. They could care less. So now I'm in the seventh grade, and earlier today my father was taking my sister and I to a booksore. I immediately found a few books I haven't read, while my sister pondered until she finally found a dean Koontz and The Green Mile by Stephen King. When the guy who was checking our books out saw the dean Koontz, he said, "Oh, look, someone is a Dean Koontz Fan!" Amd my sister smiled, thinking it was her. When she got to the car she pulled out the book and started bragging about all of the books she's read (Oh, TWO by Koontz! What a GENIUS!) My father Juat HAD to tell her how proud he was of her. Then, when a song came on, I named it, immediately, but my sister had to spit out, "You KNOW, I heard this song FIRST. No need to copy me." I looked back at her, and she replied (more at my father), "you know, I used to watch music videos in the mornings all the time. I know like, every song." She's 15, and I'm 13, and I'm feeling very hurt.

How can I set the mood...? for love making? My boyfriend and I've yet to make love. Sure, we've talked about it and thought our first time would be "making love", but the sex we've had since then has been animalistic. I want to actually make love and show him how much he means to me. How can I set the mood for this? I have a jungle themed bedroom, with a cali-king size leopard bed.
Simply Complicated; (Working Title, this is the story I posted before for any one who wants to read more!!!) Chapter one: Prologue: There's always jumping off the balcony. Gennet rummaged around her enchanting suite, there had to be some things appropriate for a princess on sea voyage. It was more difficult when she was awaiting her execution; she imagined the blade releasing her head from it’s binding with her body. Alas, this was just a pleasant day dream to what really awaited her, marriage. Marriage, the vile and cruel punishment her father was inflicting on her for being born a female. Unlike her eldest brother Nathaniel, who she envied, for he had the right to choose, to wear pants, and loose shirts, what a girl she was. Awaiting the “fairy tale” ending every young woman dreamt of. And she was considering hurling herself of the balcony. Waiting for Roman, the man who she would soon “share” the rest of her life with, more like be owned by him for all of eternity. With a smug smile, Gennet only packed one gown, the rest were stolen clothing articles from her brothers. She would act against this marriage, and perhaps be left alone in the process. Then, since she was not an appropriate bride she would be left on a dessert island, with only essential tools where she could be alone, with her pride for the rest of her peaceful life, sure. “Princess! Princess! Oh your highness, why the heavens are you still in here? The ship will be leaving in under an hour; you must go eat hurry along” Her trusty lady Quinn, how she was always by her side leading her. Promising companionship even through marriage, she was the woman any man would be grateful for, but she had her. She had her Quinn, forever and always, she’d rather marry her then Roman. “Oh! Yeah, I think I should go.” She replied, noting Quinn’s disapproving eyes on her unclosed suitcase. “Packing – light are we malady?” Quinn said with a sarcastic smile. “Don’t you dare tell on me” her eyes shot at Quinn, and with loyalty in her eyes, Quinn smiled. The ship was grand and charming fit for a royal family. And then --- there was Roman, who was telling the captain how he should navigate the ship. Why did this man think so highly of himself? Yes, he had Jet black hair, dark gray eyes that were cold and beautiful, a very many chest, and figure. The problem was this man had absolutely no qualities. Any qualities would be nice, maybe a hunter, or painter? But he resolved all problems with – servants. He lived to be served, and in all his “glory” assumed the people who served him lived to serve. Most fiancée’s are angry when they hear the help complaining of their Fiancé. Gennet laughed, and then joined in. Such a proper lady, of course, she was always on her very best behavior. Gennet chuckled. Aware of the night’s events that lay ahead of her she was sprawled out across her cabin bed, the last time she would be alone at night. She shivered and would sleep with peace. Grimacing at the thought of Roman caressing her for his own benefits, why was life punishing her so badly. She hated gowns more than anything, more than – Roman. Although she new better then to show up in anything but tonight, this was an important dinner, and she would be appropriate, for tonight. As she walked in late, into the beautiful dining room, with a room full of people who were to be the wedding guests, she took her seat next to Roman. It was so weird, she didn’t notice until now; he looked at her with big eyes the way some one that is in love looks, his eyes were widened, and he smiled at her. When she sat next to him he took her into his arms and gave her an embracing kiss. Gennet couldn’t see the rest of her life without him but she also could not spend the rest of her life with him. This was far too painful; she did not want the married life. Why was every one trying to fool her? After the terrible last supper was over she returned to her room and painfully sat on her bed. The cabin walls seemed to be caving in on her, just one night from now she would be in a beautiful beach palace, surrendering to a man that she never wished to see again. Sadly this man was her Fiancé. Roman, oh god Roman why did he have that hair? That body! No her life was not a romance novel it was a tragedy. Why did she have to keep reminding herself? She would marry him; of course it was her duty. Although who ever proclaimed that a wife must love and fulfill their husbands needs. Gennet was going to dedicate the rest of her life to torturing her loving husband, Roman. After falling asleep thinking she was so pleased to have awoken in a bed. She assumed that the boat had landed in the night, and some one had carried her in. She smiled. In a few hours she could start her torture on the unsuspecting Roman. Within minutes people were giving her food, and starting to torture her poor body. She wanted nothing more than to throw on her brothers clothing and be the groom instead. How lucky he had it, throw on a tux and his naturally perfect hair would compliment. What a jerk. Twenty more minutes until fun time! She wondered if maybe quite possibly she was one of the most insane people who had ever been a princess. Probably, but who cares. They weren’t the ones who had to be married to a woman who would rather dress like him then spend two seconds in his bed. She wondered how he would take the news that she was going to be sleeping in one of the extra bedrooms in the palace. Tonight she would humor him and return to his bedroom, then she would quietly tuck away on her own side of the honey moon bed. Honey was supposed to mean sweet. Sweet revenge, no man was going to almost seduce her and get away with it. They simply would have to pay, regardless if they were getting married or not. And then the moment had arrived, she found herself in a white lacey gown, with a veil. Tropical flowers positioned around the beach. She walked down the isle to the man she awaited to torture. Then she saw them, the eyes she thought were to be cold, today they were not so gray, actually they were deep emerald sparkly green. He was watching her with the most beautiful grin. Why! Why was he so terrible? Such a good actor, she half expected him to run away and join a theatre program. The part where she actually said “I do” made her cringe. She remembered it vaguely. Her father used to say it was best women not think. No wonder, she pretty much passed by the whole wedding, supper and evening without knowledge of what was going on. She was lying on the bed, staring at the eyes who expected her to sleep with them. She also saw the disappointment as she drifted off into the most bliss slumber of her life, probably existence. Chapter Two: She never broke a promise, not even to herself. Roman awoke to stare into the eyes of his young bride. Yes, they had been married for two years, and he had not even had the chance to sleep with her. She only recently started sleeping in the same bed as him. She refused to dress in fancy gowns and would only wear small dresses, although he could not complain he didn’t know why she treated him this way. Perhaps she was still hostile over an arranged marriage, but why so much? He loved her more than he could ever imagine, he saw her beautiful eyes ever day of the week and never second guessed himself. He didn’t mind that she wore what she wanted it; it turned him on that she had such an expressive self-opinion. The world could use more women like Gennet, she made him feel like the luckiest man of all time, because he could be himself around her. Roman loved her to the point in which he could not see what he was doing wrong. Did the love of his life honestly believe he saw her as eye candy? She had tried to make certain that she wasn’t eye candy that was for sure. Roman was in love with the woman that it seemed he could never have, his wife. Perhaps it should hurt his ego that she was doing this to him, but he was so very blinded by love. What did he know about love the first woman that he ever loved was laying in his bed, ring on her finger, and wouldn’t even let him touch her. Gennet was the most beautiful seductive, and evil creature he had ever set his eyes on. Roman was going to be a king in many years, and was also a business man, although he was a prince he was also in charge of many affairs that his country was to face. He got to spend many hours a day away from his wife. Many men saw this as a challenge. He however was glad to get away, away from the woman that seemed to have made a bet with herself to make his life miserable. Soon he and Gennet would be moving to New York City, in the beautiful Upper East Side. The house was not going to be too big, just one of the most elite in New York. He could afford just that, and maybe he would be able to soften his bride up when he got her out of the country. Every time Roman had even touched Gennet during their marriage she had threatened on many accounts to hurl herself directly off the balcony into the ocean below. Torment seemed to be her favorite subject, and indeed she loved to torture him. Roman’s eyes were glistening as his thoughts were filled with his beautiful wife. He got out of his bed and started to pack his wives clothing, all old fashioned. Then he decided to throw them out altogether, she would thank him later. Perhaps not when she had nothing to wear but she’d probably steal some of his clothing. Roman called his assistant in New York City, Elisa. “Hello Sir” she responded almost immediately, although it was still very late in the night, with the time difference. “Yes, Elisa, Size zero clothing for my wife, dresses, not grand, but wearable in public, Jeans, Shirts all designer of course. Whatever is in fashion these days in New York of course. Here, the women all wear gowns.” Elisa immediately responded. “Personal credit?” she asked. “Oh, yes of course I would also like if you bought many different types of shoes, and makeup also stalk the house with two of every technology, laptops etcetera. For my wives you may use your own sense of taste.” Roman then hung up knowing that Elisa would get on it as soon as he could. New York City, Gennet was going to flip out. They were only supposed to leave in a month and he had decided to move the date up to attend a conference. Roman was not a cruel man, and his wife was not exactly ugly. Surely they could adapt to New York culture. Although – the part which confused him was how New York didn’t actually have a culture. * * * Roman was one of the most annoying distractions that Gennet had ever experienced. One of the most annoying parts of her life, because she refused to be with him, regardless of marriage. The biggest problem in the matter was she was simply complicatedly in love with him. Gennet knew she never wanted to be a larger part of Roman’s life. The easiest part of loving him was the fact that he loved her also, which made it fun to watch him suffer. Was she such a cruel person? Of course she was. She had made a promise to herself, and she would not break it. Regardless of the two years which had passed and the up coming anniversary, thank god she would be safely out of the country, and placed in a civilized environment. New York City, she had called one of the most feared places by her old fashioned country, civilized. Well, perhaps they used the energy, and had electronics. Perhaps. Of course Gennet had frequently watched television on her laptop she had smuggled in. It was very slow internet, and a crappy model. She couldn’t wait for the escape.
WHAT do u think now of my spiritual journey? Entry for October 10, 2006 CRYSTAL HELPS ME!!!!! THIS IS ME(MARIA) AND MY BEAUTIFUL AND VERY SMART DAUGHTER {CRYSTAL}. WE WERE HAVING FUN AT LINVILLE FALLS, NC. CAVERNS NEAR BY. FRED, BRAD AND BRADLEY WERE ALSO WITH US. IT GOT SO HOT THAT WE TOOK A LITTLE WADE IN THE WATER. CRYSTAL USED HER T-SHIRT TO MAKE A HAIR RESTRANT!! SHE DOES THE COLLEST STUFF. NOW WHO SOUNDS YOUNGER? IAM THE TEEN!!! LOL. TODAY CRYSTAL HAS DONE SOME RESEARCH ON SCRIPTURE AND GAVE MUCH THOUGHT TO MY STRUGGLE WITH IS JESUS AND GOD THE SAME OR TWO SEPERATE BEINGS. I NEEDED HER TO TRY TO HELP ME AS MY MIND HAS BEEN CLOUDED WITH SO MANY POINTS OF VIEWS AND FROM SO MANY RELIGIONS.!! CRYSTAL IS ALSO YOUNGER AND SHARP!! SHE WAS ABLE TO CONCENTRATE ON THIS WITHOUT SATAN BLOCKING HER THOUGHTS!!! THIS BELOW WAS HER EMAIL ANSWER & THEN I WILL ELABORATE: ..God is like a cake except not sliced..layered..When baptised it says in the name of the father and the son and the holy spirit (NOTICE THE WORD AND)..but yet it says name not nameS...When it says persons, it doesn't mean flesh its like the entities of God or parts.....Inside the peel of and orange there are slices and they are all in there but all separate but Gods slices have thoughts and feelings,they are one they are God...This all can be because it is just so far beyond our reach he can have different people in him because they are him but he is them. He is their contiounce but they are his. They are equal. I think the Methodist prayer of affirmation most closely relates to this..here is what it says... A Profession of Faith We believe there is one God, whose nature is love; revealed in one Lord Jesus Christ, by one Holy Spirit of grace. We believe the authenticity, genuineness, and inspiration, of the Holy Scriptures; that both the Old and New Testaments contain the revealed will of God and that the Bible is the supreme written authority in all matters of faith and conduct. We believe that Jesus is the Son of the Living God. He came in the flesh, died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures. We believe, that holiness and true happiness are inseparably connected; and that believers should do that which is right, and strive to maintain order, and practice good works, for these things are good and profitable to all people. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revised Apostle's Creed We believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth. We believe in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died for our sins, and was buried. On the third da y he rose again. He ascended into Heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father from where he comes to judge the living and the dead. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy universal Church, the communion of believers, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the dead, and the life everlasting. Amen. CRYSTAL SAID THE PARTS ABOUT GOD AND CAKE..LAYERED CAKE...SHE IS SO CUTE!!! ALSO ABOUT ORANGES. THEN SHE FOUND THINGS TO SUPPORT HER THOUGHTS. AFTER SHE CALLED AND TOLD ME TO READ HER EMAIL, WE DISCUSSED. WE BOTH HAVE SEEN THE REAL LIGHT!!! JESUS WAS A MAN...BORN OF A VIRGIN, BUT GODS SPIRIT/HOLY SPIRIT WENT INTO JESUS AT JESUS"S BAPTISING FROM JOHN THE BAPTIST. MATTHEW 3:13 THEN JESUS CAME FROM GALILEE TO THE JORDON TO BE BAPTIZED BY JOHN. BUT JOHN TRIED TO DETER HIM SAYING: "I NED TO BE BAPTIZED BY YOU!!, AND DO YOU COME TO ME??} JESUS REPLIED,LET IT BE SO NOW;IT IS PROPER FOR US TO DO THIS TO FULFILL ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS; THEN JOHN CONSENTED. AS SOON AS JESUS WAS BAPTIZED ,HE WENT UP OUT OF THR WATER,AT THAT MOMENT HEAVEN WAS OPENED,AND HE SAW THE SPIRIT OF GOD DESENDING LIKE A DOVE AND LIGHTING ON HIM., AND A VOICE FROM HEAVEN SAID: THIS IS MY SON ,WHOM I LOVE; WITH HIM IAM WELL PLEASED!! AT THAT MOMENT HE WAS GODS SON. NOT JUST MAN, BUT GOD /MAN. AFTER THIS HE WAS TEMPTED IN THE WILDERNESS/DESERT, BY SATAN, THEN AFTER THIS JESUS STARTED HIS PREACHING!!!! HE GOT HIS APOSTLES AND STARTED SPREADING GOD THE FATHERS WORD!!! MUCH HAPPEND IN BETWEEN,..................................... JESUS WAS BOTH GOD AND MAN , HE WAS CRUSIFIED, HE WILLINGLY GAVE UP THE SPIRIT AND THIS IS WHEN HE CRYED: ELOI,ELOI LAMA SABACHTHANI !!!! (WHICH MEANS: MY GOD ,MY GOD, WHY HATH THOU FORSAKEN ME!!) WHEN JESUS THE MAN GAVE UP THE SPIRIT HE FELT ALONE!! HE ONCE AGAIN BECAME MAN. HE DIED. FLESH DIED. HE WAS INDEED SERVANT OF GOD, BUT AFTER HE WAS BAPTIZED HE RECIEVED POWER THROUGH GODS SPIRIT. HE WAS RISEN , SPIRIT BACK IN HIM, BUT HE LOOKED DIFFERENT, MAYBE AS HE LOOKED MORE LIKE HE DOES IN HEAVEN, AS GOD/GODS SON DOES IN HEAVEN.(JUST MY THOUGHTS) SOME DIDNT RECOGNIZE HIM. SOME WERE AFRAID. HE PROVED IT WAS HIM BY THE NAIL HOLES/SCARS AND HSI SIDE THAT WAS PIERCED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS!!! HE WAS THE LAMB, SACRIFICED FOR US. AS PART MAN JESUS WAS AFRAID TO DIE. HE HAD PRAYED IN THE GARDEN OF GETHESEMANE (MATTHEW 26:35 ) THAT IF IT BE GODS WILL, TO TAKE THE CUP FROM HIM, TO NOT LET HIM HAVE TO DIE. BUT YET HE WAS OBEDIANT EVEN UNTO DEATH, HE DID AS GOD PLANED, HE DID IT WITH FREE WILL. HE DIED FOR US, SO WE COULD ASK FORGIVENESS THROUGH JESUS (OUR MEDIATOR) IF WE ARE REALLY SORRY IN OUR HEARTS , WE ARE FORGIVEN. WE MUST TRY OUR BEST TO NOT KEEP REPEATING SAME SINS. WE MUST TRY TO BE LIKE JESUS . HE SET A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF LOVE!!! PEACE, WILL POWER ,SACRIFICE ,FORGIVENESS ETC. BUT JESUS IS GOD. I NOW SEE THAT GOD HAS THREE PARTS BUT YET IS ONE GOD!!! HE IS ABLE TO CONVERSE WITH HIMSELF AS HE IS MORE THAN ONE PART. AND AFTER ALL WAS DONE AT CALVARY, AFTER HE ROSE(JESUS).. HE ASSENDED BACK TO HEAVEN, BACK TO BE WITH GOD!!! BACK TO WHERE HE HAD BEEN FROM THE ALPHA . HE LEFT THE HOLY SPIRIT TO GUIDE US, COMFORT US.TO LEAD US TO TEACH OTHERS, JUST AS HE TAUGHT THE APOSTLES TO TEACH OTHERS, WE ALSO MUST TRY TO WIN SOULS, TO ENLARGE THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

elvis alive? The only time I feel alive... is when I'm in front of my audience, my people. That's the only time I really feel like I'm human." "Long after I'm gone, what I did today will be heard by someone. I just want them to get the best of what I had." (Elvis Presley) Is Elvis Alive ? There are many reasons to believe that Elvis Presley is dead. When the only arguments to believe otherwise come from crazed fans and supermarket tabloids, it is easy to dismiss the possibility that Elvis is still among us. However, the circumstances surrounding Elvis' alleged death are quite mysterious and beg closer attention. As it turns out, there are many concrete reasons to believe that Elvis is still alive. The Gravesite. Elvis' name is misspelled on his headstone. Elvis' full name is Elvis Aron Presley, but on his grave his middle name is spelled incorrectly with two a's. His father would not have let this happen. When Elvis was born, his name was misspelled on his birth certificate, and his father went to great lengths to get it put right. The unique spelling of Elvis' name was important to his family. Elvis' current "resting place" is in between his father and his grandmother and not next to his mother where he had adamantly requested. It is doubtful that the people close to him would allow these things to happen. Elvis is a superstitious man, enough so that he wouldn't tempt fate by putting his real name on a tombstone, or violate the ground next to his mother until he was ready to be placed there for good. Death Certificate. Elvis was very vain, and he was embarrassed about his recent weight gain, an astonishing 50 pounds in the month before his so-called death. Even though he weighed about 250 pounds at the time of his "death," his death certificate lists him at a spry 170 pounds. The original death certificate disappeared, and the current death certificate is dated two months after his alleged death. The Wax Body Theory. This argument is very convincing when the facts are considered. Elvis' coffin required several pall bearers because it weighed 900 pounds. Attendants of the funeral reported that the air around the coffin was rather cool. It is suspected that the coffin contained an air conditioning unit to keep a wax body cool, a wax body that was a replica of Elvis designed to fool funeral-goers. And how did the Presley family get a 900 pound, custom made coffin ready for a funeral that was held on the day after his death? It takes a lot of time to build such an elaborate coffin. And why was the funeral so quickly? Some say that the immediacy was intended to make it as difficult as possible for the people who were Elvis' biggest fans to attend the proceedings. It could be a concern that they might recognize the flaws in the wax replica. Elvis was an 8th degree black belt whose hands were rough with calluses, yet the body in the coffin had hands that were soft and pudgy. The body in the coffin had a pug nose and arched eyebrows {unlike Elvis} and most importantly, one of the sideburns on the "corpse" was loose and falling off. A hairdresser later reported gluing the sideburn back on the body. Unusual Behavior. Two hours after Elvis' death was announced publicly, a man who reportedly looked remarkably like Elvis purchased a ticket for Buenos Aeries, paid in cash, and used the name John Burrows: the same name Elvis had used as an alias several times before. Elvis had a few books that were considered to be his most prized possessions. He had a bible, several pharmaceutical books, books on death, and most importantly Chiro's Book of Numbers and The Autobiography of Yogi which I will explain more about later. After Elvis's death was announced, these books disappeared and were never recovered. In the weeks preceding his alleged death, Elvis' actions were not those of a man who was about to embark on an extensive US tour. He ordered no new suits despite having gained 50 pounds since his last tour, and he bid "adios" at his last show in Hawaii. He had never done this before. Adios, like the French adieu, has the significance of being a final good-bye as opposed to an "I'll be seeing you on my next tour" kind of good-bye. Others were intrigued by Elvis' decision to sign a lucrative TV deal with NBC that would cover the tour. It was unprecedented for a network to pay such a large amount up front, in cash, for such a deal. Many wonder why Elvis even agreed to the deal since his vanity discouraged him from making public appearances due to his weight gain. RCA showed uncanny and unbelievable foresight by mass producing millions of Elvis' current and previous recordings and merchandise. This is standard practice for an act that is about to go on tour, but the numbers in this case were beyond reasonable expectations. The announcement of Elvis' death caused record sales to skyrocket. Elvis did other unusual things that created suspicion. First, he fired several employees that he had relied upon for a long time. Also, two days before his alleged death, Elvis telephoned a friend of his named Miss Foster. He told her that he wasn't planning on going on the upcoming tour. She asked him if he had canceled it, and he said that he had not. When she asked if he was ill, he said that he was fine, and that she should not ask any more questions or tell anyone anything, and that she should not believe anything she read. He told her that his troubles would all soon be over, and that he would call her in a few weeks. The author of Elvis Where Are You? writes that Miss Foster took a polygraph test regarding this story, and that she was not lying. The day after Elvis' alleged death, a woman named Lucy De Barbon, a former lover of Elvis, received a single rose in the mail. The card indicated that the flower was from "El Lancelot." This had been her pet name for Elvis, and it was a name that no one else knew. Flowers can't be sent from beyond the grave. This was Elvis' way of letting her know that he was not dead, even though he didn't want to be found. Chiro's Book of Numbers. Elvis had a fascination with numerology, an interest he fed by reading Chiro's Book of Numbers. The theory that Elvis orchestrated his death is further supported when considering the significance of the date of his alleged death. The date in question is August 16, 1977. By adding the numbers in the date, 8, 16, and 1977, you get 2001. This is the title of Elvis' favorite movie in which the hero plans his immortality in the bathroom. Elvis spent a considerable amount of time doing the same: planning his afterlife on the toilet.. Elvis spent so much time in the bathroom that he had his toilet converted into a reclining comfy chair. Coincidentally, the bathroom is also where Elvis' body was reportedly found. Given Elvis' religious beliefs, he had a fascination with things that come in threes, for example, father, son, and holy ghost. The sum of the digits from his favorite film (2+0+0+1) is three. Let's consider the triad of the repetition of the number 24. 2001 (favorite film) less 1977 (year of death) is 24. The two numbers from the day of death (8/16) when added up equal 24. The sum of the digits in the year of death (1+9+7+7) also equals 24. That is 3 occurrences of the number 24 which is divisible by 3, and when divided by three the result, 8 has a perfect cubed root (2x2x2=8). Elvis loved numerology, and when you consider the numeric significance of the date of his alleged death, it is clear that if indeed he did plan to fake his death, he could not have chosen a better date. Reason Elvis had many reasons to fake his death.It has been said that Elvis' life was in danger. He had recently lost $10,000,000 in an airplane/real estate deal with a California based organization called the "Fraternity" that had links to the Mafia. It is speculated that he corroborated with the government to expose the organized crime ring in exchange for protection, perhaps in the form of a new life and identity compliments of the Witness Protection Program. Elvis was a prisoner of his own fame. He had many other reasons to leave his life behind. Because of his incredible popularity he recieved several death threats, and he was concerned about the safety of his ex-wife and daughter. Sometimes when he wanted to leave Graceland he would send look-alikes out to distract would be followers. Elvis was also known to ride in the trunk of someone else's car to avoid being seen. Once, when he fell ill in Las Vegas, he couldn't get proper medical attention because the hospital was overwhelmed by fans. At the time of his alleged death, Elvis thought he was nearing the end of his career. He saw his self as 42 with greying hair, overweight, and he thought his voice was starting to weaken,. He was going down hill, and he was too proud to go out with a whimper. He would never want his fans to see him in such an unhealthy condition. Elvis had shown a fascination with death on several occasions. In the days leading up to his alleged death he was reported to have visited funeral homes at odd hours of the night with close friends. Was he doing research? Elvis once faked his death by setting up an elaborate shooting in which a would be killer fired blanks at Elvis who had a blood pack which he discharged. It was Elvis' intention to see how the people closest to him would react to his death. Perhaps what he learned convinced him to do it for real. Finally, one of Elvis' favorite books is the spiritual Autobiography of Yogi. One of the central themes of this book is the relinquishing of one's wealth and earthly possessions to achieve spiritual oneness. Elvis could do this, as well as address his other concerns of sanity and safety by faking his death and living in exile. Means. Elvis had the means to fake his own death. He is accused of destroying himself with drugs. In reality, Elvis was a pharmaceutical expert. He took a lot of drugs, but he knew what he was doing and was extremely careful. He knew what drugs he could self-administer to create a deathlike state. Also Elvis' experience with the martial arts was such that he could slow his heart rate and breathing in order to feign death. Elvis' manager, Colonel Tom Parker, had once created a new identity for himself. He came to America as an illegal immigrant from Holland, but through various connections managed to create a new identity complete with a passport, birth certificate, drivers license, and social security number. He would have known how to give Elvis a second life. Aswell as Elvis' ties to the government through his testimony against the "Fraternity", Elvis was known to interact with the President of the United States. He was reported in government documents to use the name John Burrows as an alias when he wanted to travel. Some people believe that Elvis worked for the government as a drug agent. He did, after all have extensive contact with many people in the music business who, as we know, tend to dabble in illegal substances. And, of course, we must allow that Elvis' connections to the government gave him access to the Witness Protection Program. If they can turn the Simpsons into the Thompsons, they can relocate anybody. Orion? Many believe that Elvis couldn't have given up performing completely. Just imagine, after a while the desire to perform would grow once he started his life in exile. The story of Orion supports the theory that Elvis attempted a secret comeback. Shortly after Elvis' alleged death, a masked singer by the name of Orion emerged on the scene. He was big like Elvis, and he sang just like Elvis. Because of the mask no one could tell his true identity. One fan described seeing Orion from near the stage. She claims that Orion left the stage between songs, and when he appeared moments later the sweat was gone from his armpits and back and she thought that his costume looked slightly different. After the song he left the stage, and the original Orion returned. Another fan described how she rushed into a tour bus at an Orion show only to see two Orions in the back of the bus. She claimed that one ducked into the bathroom before she could get a good look at him, but he appeared to look like Elvis Presley. What's even more remarkable is the fictional story called Orion that was written by Gail Brewer-Georgio about a legendary performer who had several identities and wanted to fake his death. The story was written and submitted to the William Morris Agency for publication consideration after Elvis' alleged death and before the real Orion ever performed. As it turns out, there are many ways in which the real Orion mimicked the events as described in the book. For example, the performers' managers had the same name. Also, without knowing it, Brewer-Georgio wrote of events in Orion that had actually taken place in Elvis' life. It was a case of life imitating art. Picking up the Pieces. In 1981, 20/20 did an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the alleged death of Elvis Presley. The investigative report was very convincing. Oddly enough, within two weeks of the report, the singer, Orion, disappeared and was never heard from again. The book, Orion disappeared from shelves across the country. It had been recalled by the publisher which was associated with the William Morris Agency. Incidentally, the William Morris Agency is the same agency that represented Elvis. It seems that Elvis Presley is worth more dead than alive. By faking his death and relocating with a new identity he is safe from his fans and the "Fraternity", the government can make a solid case against the organized crime ring, and RCA, Elvis' family, and Elvis' management can all reap immense financial benefits from the attention. That is... except for one benefit....after nearly 25 years no one has collected on his life insurance policy. Why ????? During his last concert tour in 1977, Elvis spoke of "not looking good tonight", but, he would look good in his coffin. He made comments of being tired of living as he was and how it was going to change. He told of how he would like to be just himself instead of an "image". On August 16th 1977, at 8:00 A.M., Elvis told Ginger Alden that he was going into the bathroom to read. (This bathroom/lounge had it's own back entrance.) For the next six hours no one saw him. Elvis signed for a special delivery letter at 9:30 A.M. At 2:00 P.M. Ginger Alden found the apparent body of Elvis lying on the floor in front of his chair, where he had been reading. She called Al Strada who in turn called Joe Esposito. George Nichopoulous (aka Dr. Nick) was then telephoned. Joe called the fire department, unit 6. The ambulance arrived at Graceland at 2:33 P.M. Paramedics administered CPR, despite rigor mortis. The body was taken to Baptist Memorial Hospital at 2:48 P.M. By 3:00 P.M. Elvis' family members and friends were informed of his "death". Public announcement was given at 3:30 P.M. August 17th, the body was brought back to Graceland for family viewing. The public viewing was from 3:00 P.M. to 6:30 P.M. On August 18th,1977. Tennesse Governor Ray Blanton ordered flags to be flown at half-mast for the duration of the funeral procession. At midday the Graceland gates swung open, a white Cadillac hurse rolled through them, followed by sixteen white Cadillac limousines. QUESTIONS BEGIN How could it take twenty minutes for paramedics to drive sixteen blocks to Graceland if the call came in at 2:33 P.M.? The Medical Examiner's Report states that the body was found with rigor mortis, while the police report states "unconcious". Why would anyone try to give CPR to a rigor mortised body ? The ME report listed the body as weighing 80 pounds lighter then Elvis' actual weight. How could Elvis have passed a physical exam just prior to August 16th if his heart was so enlarged ? How could he have played raquetball for several hours on August 16th, just before his "death" ? ABC's 1979 program on the cover up of Elvis' death stated that all the stomach contents were destroyed. Bill Burkin in his book Elvis World states that officials at Babtist Memorial Hospital had assured him that the stomach contents had been shipped to a California lab to be examined and then on to a lab in Utah, and then ? There are rumors of Elvis' "death" being caused by a heart attack, drug overdose, suffocation in carpeting, suicide and even cancer ! Persons in attendance at Graceland at the time of "death" don't agree on the color of pajamas Elvis was wearing or the posistion of the body. Why did Vernon ask many people NOT to attend the funeral but to come a week later ? Why did Vernon refuse to accept the flag which is usually given to dead war veterans ? Why didn't Elvis have any new jumpsuits made during 1977 ? The handwriting on the death certificate matched Elvis' own writing ! Elvis was very aware of which presribed drugs did not mix well with others. Elvis had glaucoma, and Dexedrine, a drug not to be taken with that condition, was listed as being in his system. Who would prescribe it and why would he take it ? Whose body was autopsied ? Funeral homes don't usually keep solid copper coffins in stock. These coffins weigh in the area of 300 pounds and usually take two months to receive once ordered. This coffin seemed to have been ready. Monte Nicholson, a nineteen year veteran of the Los Angeles Sheriffs Department, wrote a novel called The Presley Arrangement. This novel tells the story of a body that is autopsied, a man resembling Elvis. The man had died of cancer. The body is later returned for private burial, to the man's own family. The man's family are paid to remain silent about the incident. Nicholson explains a government connection. In a 1989 radio interview Nicholson said that even if he knew there was an FBI connection and was told not to say anything, he COULD NOT say. Nicholson also claimed that if he knew the answer to the question, and says he does, he will not disclose his knowledge. He said that if Elvis is alive that his book is pretty close to the truth of what REALLY happened. Was Elvis a DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) agent ? Elvis can be seen wearing a DEA Staff jacket in several photographs, including one taken in June of 1977, approximately six weeks before his "death". Also Elvis was wearing a jogging suit with the DEA logo on it during the early morning hours of August 16th 1977. When Elvis met with President Richard Nixon he said he had been "studying" the drug culture for over 10 years, he could get into any culture group and be accepted. Elvis said he had gotten alot from the country and he wanted to repay in some way. It would have been a dangerous job and one that an entertainer such as Elvis would not have HAD to do unless he chose to. Many DEA agents pose as "drug users" and "pushers" in their undercover work. Elvis could get to anyone if he appeared to be a "user". In the book Elvis: What Happened? one of the guys wondered if Elvis was ever as whacked out as he seemed to be. Maybe he is a "great" actor after all. Perhaps he deserves an "Oscar". Death threats were issued against Elvis and his family. Those who had leveled those threats had actually broken into Graceland. At times, the FBI were called. Deputy Narcotics Director John Finlator arranged for Elvis to come to his office under the name of John Burrows. Finlator didn't want to give Elvis a badge but the President reversed the decision. On December 21st of 1970, Elvis met with President Richard Nixon in the oval office, Washington, D.C. Elvis had written a letter requesting a meeting and expressed his concerns about the drug culture, hippie elements, the SDS and other groups who were against the establishment. When Finlator finally gave Elvis the badge and promised to issue him consultant credentials, Elvis was overcome with emotion and his eyes became misty. Ten days later he met with the FBI. On the same day, President Nixon wrote Elvis a thank you. Elvis wrote to the President and said, "I can and will do more good, if I were made a Federal Agent at large, and I will help out by doing it my way." Elvis was known to be in his bedroom for weeks, seeing no one. (There was a back staircase at Graceland.) Elvis could sneak out whenever he needed to. Department of the Treasury-Bob Pritchett says that during the years of '74, '75, and '76 "Mr. Presley provided one of our undercover agents, who was a musician, a job cover. Undercover agents appear to have other occupations. None of Elvis' group of friends knew of this agent and the role he played in setting up his cover. Since he had an undercover agent in his group from '74-'76, when did he find time to use drugs himself? Elvis was very good at keeping secrets and living a "double life". Elvis spoke with President Carter two weeks before his death. It involved aid to a friend. On August 16, 1977, President Carter issued this tribute: "Elvis Presley's death deprives our country of a part of itself. He was unique and irreplaceable. More than twenty years ago he burst upon the scene with an impact that was unprecedented and will probably never be equaled. His music and his personality, fusing the styles of white country and black rhythm and blues, permanently changed the face of American popular culture. His following was immense and he was a symbol of good humor of his country." This was a formal statement, when a celebrity's death is usually only commented on. He had spoken to Nixon and Carter both shortly before the day he died. In the September 1988 issue of American Karate magazine, Ed Parker tells of a time when a terrorist group threatened Elvis' life to make him an example of how they could get to famous people. They threatened to plant a bomb in one of the gifts offered to Elvis at a concert. This was a threat as long as he was "alive", and his family were targets also. Elvis always had law enforcement officials around him. John O'Grady, who was earlier in charge of NARC Divisions of the LAPD, was one of them. He also hired Dick Grob, a former sargeant with the Palm Springs Police. He was surrounded by at least two lawmen in top security positions. Elvis was in danger. The "hoax" may have been the only way out! History will prove Elvis to be an American hero beyond being an American entertainer. SIGHTINGS With all the Elvis lookalikes, he could actually walk around using disguises and get away with it. Who would be looking for him anyway, when he is supposedly dead? Before 1977, there was an "Elvis lookalike, sound alike" at a Memphis theatre. Elvis put on his best "Elvis outfit", strolled in and mingled with the clones, doing his best "Hey, baby". Afterwards, he came back to Graceland laughing. He tried out and lost! Elvis and his mother's bodies were moved to the Meditation Gardens for burial, after three men tried to break into the crypt. Graceland was rezoned to permit burials at the estate. In the 1989 Orion's "Farewell to the King", the King says "I died once. I had to be willing to give up everything, even the will to live." The last recording session at Graceland was The Last Farewell. There have been many sightings at various places including Graceland. There are some escape routes at Graceland that people don't know about. In a syndicated newspaper across the nation on June 5, 1990, an article headlined "Elvis Lives, At Least On Census Form." The Census Bureau reported in 1990 that Elvis returned a questionaire to the bureau office in Huntsville, Alabama. It was noticed by census workers who were screening forms for completednesss. Late Night with Ross Shafer (August 1988) had a survey that showed that out of 30,000 people polled, approximately 84% believe Elvis is alive. On Monday, August 22, 1988, Harold Schuitmaker, in an item of the Detroit News, said "Elvis is Alive and Living in Kalamazoo." Schuitmaker was a well known Michigan politician and resident of Paw Paw (15 miles from Kalamazoo). The masked singer Orion was at the McMinnville Civic Center and a fan said that she felt that the man onstage and the one who signed autographs were different people. People have reported that someone sounding like Elvis called them on the phone and some hung up because they couldn't believe it. A book titled Elvis: Where Are You? came out of Wilton Manors, Florida around August, 1982 under the name of Al Jefferies. The premise of the book was that Elvis hoaxed his death. Kelly Burgess, a former assistant editor and feature writer with the Detroit News, claimed to have seen Elvis in Kalamazoo, Michigan. She is not living now. In 1988, Heartbreak Hotel starred David Keith as Elvis. (The film had the support of EP Enterprises.) A soundtrack album thanked Jerry Schilling and a special thanks to J.B. In 1987's Robo Cop, a cop is killed, but didn't die. He returns as Robo Cop-a superman hero. It was filmed in Michigan. During that time radio stations got calls from a man sounding like Elvis Presley. There have been lots of sightings there and it was also on his final concert tour. Is this possibly a "message" film? March 18, 1990, an article on Robo Cop, in the Detroit News told of Robo Cop speaking to a Boys and Girls club against drugs. It was a three month long anti-drug campaign organized by the FBI, Orion Home Video of New York, and the Boys Club of America. This Robo Cop was not the same actor as in the movie-his true identity was not revealed. he was a special agent helping the FBI fight the war on drugs. His suit was bullet-proof. During filming, some people saw a man looking like an older Elvis. In Mac and Me, a film from 1988, a young alien is lost and at the end the family drives away in an old pink Cadillac convertible. A balloon caption says "We'll be back". The sound track is on Curb Records, which is the same label as "Spelling on the Stone". There were some song lyrics which were: "Tired of being myself, being different from everyone else, somehow you knew I needed your help, be my friend forever. I never found my star in the night; living my dream was far from sight." There was a scene in the movie where Eric asks Debbie "Why didn't you tell him that you saw him (the alien)?" She says, "Because no one would believe me." Elvis has become a mythic figure, and there have been frequent rumors that he is still alive. Elvis remains the single most influential and respected figure in the history of Rock music. Elvis was the first Rock/Pop singer to have a single record sell a million copies, the first to go platinum with an album in less than two weeks, the first singer to pre-sell a million records before it's release, the first entertainer to earn a million dollars for one concert performance, and the first young, white, southern male to bring international attention to the importance of black rhythm and blues. He was the first singer to get a million dollar screen contract. He was the first music personality to have a TV performance broadcast worldwide via satellite. In 1993, he became the first rock'n'roll star whose picture appeared on a commemorative U.S. Postal stamp (the largest stamp printing in history). Elvis is a landmark in almost everyone's life, going back to distant memories of watching him above the waist on Ed Sullivan or hearing "Hound Dog" for the first time. His image continues to mesmerize: witness the appearance of 200 Elvis impersonators at Liberty Weekend in 1986. There was a time when he was merely the most popular entertainer in history. He is more than that now. He is a symbol of America as recognizable as the flag. Elvis opened the 'window of his soul' to his fans all over the world. Thank you, Elvis! Remember you are always on our minds. "TCB FOREVER! Any Comments on this ? E-mail Me i found this on the internet weird

Do you find this true? AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19 Ruling Planet: URANUS. The God of unexpected sexual twists and turns Aquarians make much better friends than lovers, but when a typical Aquarian gets some bang-bang, it's more an intellectual experience than an emotional one. Looks aren't important to Aquarians in a relationship, it's the mind and spirit of a lover that turns Aquarius on.They are very entertaining in bed and are probably the most inventive of all the signs.Mental stimulation is more important to them than physical, which means that pornography gets them hot! Aquarians are impatient and like sex to be fast and satisfying. They are very particular about hygiene and contraception and sleeping around holds little interest for them. FAVE POSITION Mutual masturbation. BEST SEX TOY A Dildo. Whether gay, straight, male or female, Aquarians will have some fun with this. AQUARIUS MALE IN BED He has amazing staying power in the sack. He can keep at it and control himself for as long as it takes for YOU to finish! He's up for anything too. Role playing, S&M, posing nude in the backyard at 5am... he's just not into 3somes, swinging or open relationships if YOU are involved. He'll do that for fun, but not with the love of his life. AQUARIUS FEMALE IN BED She's looking for a lover who will be upfront with her, but until she finds him, she will make do with whoever is available. LOVE freaks her out. She likes keeping her emotions under tight control and may come across as cold, but she's just protecting herself. THE BEST WAY TO TURN ON AQUARIUS Lie down as if you are top and tailing and gently tickle and stroke the ankles and the calves. Don't tickle for giggles, but tease. After awhile, do the same with your tongue. Lick up, down and all around. Anywhere above the foot and below the knee is fair game. Lightly nip the ankle of your Aquarian, they may laugh, but it's not laughter from tickles, it's a release of tension that will most definitely lead to some action! PISCES Feb 20 - March 20 Ruling Planet: NEPTUNE The God in charge of delicious dreams, dangerous deceptions and sexual fantasies Sexually speaking, Pisces is putty in your hands. Anything you want, anything, is only a question away. If you're looking for someone who will go the extra mile to discover all your secret moan zones, then Pisces is for you! When a typical Piscean makes out, it's an act of romance rather than pure pleasure. Pisces is the sign of love itself. They are so romantic and want satin sheets and candles, poetry and a full moon. Music also gets them in the mood. One of their least appetizing traits is their ability to become very, very jealous. Sometimes they are so scared of losing the fairy-tale romance that they ruin the happy ending themselves. FAVE POSITION Pisces is all about Oral affections! BEST SEX TOY A copy of the Kama Sutra, since your fish is into almost anything PISCES MALE IN BED He is romantic and has the reputation of being a womanizer. The girlfriend of a Piscean man should keep her eye on the ball as he can be a bit flighty.But he does make an excellent lover.

It's the very air that she breathes. She needs to be held gently and whispered sweet nothings to but when it comes to between the sheets action, she's never happy doing the same ol', same ol' when she knows there are more exciting options at hand. THE BEST WAY TO TURN ON PISCES The Pisces Zesty-zone is their feet! If you want to make Pisces your Love Slave, start with a warm, scented footbath and soak their feet for 10 minutes. Then sit in front of them, cross-legged, and rub their feet firmly through the water. Use kneading motions that run from their ankles to the tips of their toes. After 5 minutes, get a scrub brush and clean their tootsies with lots of TLC, dry them off and lightly massage peppermint oil all over their feet, paying close attention to between their toes. Pisces REALLY gets off on this! Once oiled up, gently kiss each toe, one by one. Then let your tongue take over and you're in baby!!! ARIES March 21-April 20 Ruling Planet: MARS The bonk now/think later God of War, aggression and action! Sexually, Aries is an explosion waiting to happen! The excitement is often in the chase more than the actual conquest though and while they may appear to want to dominate, they do not want a submissive partner. Routine brings boredom to sex for Aries, so if you're only comfortable with the missionary position, go for another sign, but if you like forceful personalities and enjoy pretending you're a human Twistie, then you've found paradise with an Aries. FAVE POSITION Always on top and always in charge BEST SEX TOY Handcuffs! Like I said, Aries likes to take charge! ARIES MALE IN BED The Aries male is loud, domineering and 100% stud! He's from the bump n grind school of lovemaking so if you're looking for romantic dinners by candlelight and long walks on the beach, keep looking! He's the original 5-minute man so if you're turned on by ultra-macho grunt-and-groaning types, you've just found your ticket to heaven! He's not prone to cheat unless you bore him in bed and he likes sex fast and furious baby! ARIES FEMALE IN BED She views sex as more of a physical act than something from a soppy romance novel. If you're a bored exec and want to find out what it's like to be treated like a piece of meat, then go for a one night stand with an Aries chick. She'll be gone before you wake up and may not remember your name the next time you meet. She's got a touch of KINK to her personality so don't get freaked out when she talks dirty or puts you over her knee for a spanking. She's all woman, but are you man enough to handle her? THE BEST WAY TO TURN ON ARIES If you want to seduce an Aries, running your fingers through their hair is an awesome starting point! And licking and nibbling around their face or neck will get them going too! Just be careful to keep your saliva at bay. Drool is not cool! TAURUS April 21 - May 21 Ruling Planet: VENUS The Goddess in charge of love, beauty and sex Taureans are ahead of the game when it comes to love coz they are ruled by VENUS, the planet of Love! Taurus has all the qualities a lover desires, including sensuality, loyalty and faithfulness.When a typical Taurus makes love, it's the most physical and natural pleasure in the world. They believe the romantic approach to sex almost always pays off so they will happily cook dinner, buyflowers, and light candles for someone they wanna bang. They don't like to rush things and take everything, including sex, slowly. FAVE POSITION The one Taurus enjoys most is the Missionary. Some may say this is so unadventurous, but Taurus is very practical and this is the most comfortable. BEST SEX TOY A battery powered "erotic massager" TAURUS MALE IN BED The Taurean man needs a woman who will want to stay home to eat and make love. He can be stubborn and is known to sulk like a little boy, but he LOVES making up!! (Rrrrow!) He likes to take things slow and gently and can last for hours, always waiting for HER to finish before rolling over to sleep. TAURUS FEMALE IN BED She is great at back massages and sex in general. She makes an art of lovemaking.Just kissing her can bring some men to the big "O". Her touch is gentle and tender, it excites and caresses and when in the mood, she too can go for hours at a time, days on end. THE BEST WAY TO TURN ON TAURUS There's nothing Taurus enjoys more than having their neck kissed and their earlobes nibbled.Light, feathery caresses up and down the neck followed by gentle licks, no biting, will make a female writhe with delight and a male stand at attention within seconds. GEMINI May 22 - June 21 Ruling Planet: MERCURY The swiftest God in the skies, who also happens to be in charge of ultr-extreme raunchy talk Talking about sex is Gemini's favourite hobby and doing it comes a close second.Gemini's love flirting and lap up attention from the opposite sex, but sometimes that's all they're looking for.They need a lot of variety when it comes to sex - dirty weekends away, a quickie in a shop doorway, serious groping under the table at a fancy restaurant. A lot of Gemini's are bisexual too and can often be drawn to those of the same sex. FAVE POSITION As long as it's different every time, they're not fussy, but if they must choose, it's that naughty number right after 68, since they can come up for air if they need to. BEST SEX TOY Any illustrated book about kinky sex, so Gemini can pick up some wild, new ideas GEMINI MALE IN BED He likes to give AND receive and can be quite inventive. He's a lights on, in front of the mirror kinda guy and if you make a few subtle noises and talk a wee bit dirty, he'll be very happy. GEMINI FEMALE IN BED She is more interested in IQ than private parts. If she can't respect the intellect, then satisfaction is not possiblefor her. She may sleep around forever and never find her true love and she is not the most faithful of the signs. She likes sex on the run, in an airplane toilet, in the storeroom at work, in the backseat of a car.... THE BEST WAY TO TURN ON GEMINI Focus on the shoulders, arms and legs of a Gemini and you're headed for the good books. They love a good massage and their hands are so sensitive that even having their fingernails played with sends shivers up their spine! Kiss up and down each of your Gemini's arms, sneak in a few licks, nips and nibbles. If you get one or two yelps, then you know you're doing something right.then, move onto the fingers, slowly kiss, lick, nip and nibble each fingertip, then pull out the killer move - suck on each finger, slowly, as if it's a lollipop. I'll almost offer a money back guarantee on this one working! CANCER June 22 - July 23 Ruling Planet: THE MOON Which isn't a planet at all but the satellite responsible for this water sign's many mood swings! Love and sex go together for Cancer. They need to feel secure in love before they can relax in sex and Cancer often feels a little bit guilty after doing the deed because they usually associate sex with babies, especially the women, who either get pregnant at the drop of a hat or take longer than usual. All Cancers WANT to be parents!Cancers become sexually excited when they feel secure. They are turned on by home cooked meals and partners who love kids. In so many ways, Cancer is the dream partner! FAVE POSITION Any position that's comfortable and involves Cancer lying flat on their back with all their sensitive areas exposed! BEST SEX TOY A drink or joint that will relax the overly-cautious crab! CANCER MALE IN BED He is a sensitive lover and will put his partner's needs before his own. He has a tenderness about him that drives women wild!If the Cancer guy decides he's in it for the long haul, he'll do whatever it takes to keep his lover happy in and out of the bedroom. Oh, and he's a BREAST man!! CANCER FEMALE IN BED She oozes sexiness and is born to mate!! Compliments and kissing will win her over, so as you're nibbling on her ear, whisper "you're so beautiful" to get her quivering. Perhaps the Vincent (Big Brother) growl would work on a Cancer woman? THE BEST WAY TO TURN ON CANCER Concentrate on the breasts and pecs of Cancer to really get them going.Start by kissing and brushing up against them. Licking the Cancer female's nipple through her top will excite her, but don't 'dive right in' coz you're likely to scare her.It's the complete opposite for the Cancer male who will LOVE it if you get straight to the point. Squeeze his pecs and bite his bod and you'll have him bouncing off the walls in no time! LEO July 24 - August 23 Ruling Planet: THE SUN Which isn't a planet at all, but a star, and just like Leo's opinion of themselves, it's the centre of our solar system! Leos can be very 'into themselves' when they bonk. It's not that they don't make their partner feel special, it's just that they often forget about them as they secretlyhigh-five themselves for scoring again! Leo does actually want more from a partner than just sex though. Leo wants love and friendship too. They can be very romantic, but when they get into bed, it's not an experience they're about to have, it's a show! They like to perform... and they take requests! "Doing it" is the ultimate stress buster for Leo and they are pretty damn good at it, but they need constant praise for their outstanding performance. FAVE POSITION Receiving 'oral affections', since Leo is all about getting serviced! BEST SEX TOY A camera, or a game of Strip Poker will get the cat purring... or perhaps you can use them both together! LEO MALE IN BED You are the King of the Jungle and expect to be treated that way! You are a good lover because you don't like to fail at anything. You are sexy and have an aura of sexiness that is difficult to deny. But, you will let anyone adore you, so your partner has to make the effort or you will pad off to your next Lioness!! LEO FEMALE IN BED You are elegant and sexy without even trying. Men love you and women want to be you. You like to play cat and mouse with men and command respect. In bed, you are a real panther and can scare the pants off most men. You adore raw sex, so your partner should go with you and enjoy it. You're a once in a lifetime experience! THE BEST WAY TO TURN ON LEO A Leo's 'moan zone' is his or her back. First of all, ask your Leo to roll onto his/her tummy. Start with a gentle scratch that runs from the top of the ass to the base of the skull. I'm not talking about tender tickles or a tantalizing tease - I mean a REAL back scratch, coz if there's one thing cats love, it's a scratch! After a minute or so, get out the massage oil and spill it into a snakey pattern on Leo's back. Then rub all over. Keep doing this until you know Leo is ready to roll over. If they start falling asleep, give them a gentle prod in a delicate place! Once Leo is ready to roll over, don't let them! Leo will be excited by your control. YOU decide when it's time to 'flip your feline' over and get into the good stuff! VIRGO August 24 - September 23 Ruling Planet: Mercury The God in charge of intellect and speed... but don't worry because Virgo likes to take their time in the sack!! Virgos have two sides to their personality. The Virgin and the Vixen. They may want you to THINK they are all sweet and virginal, but they are definitely NOT!However, Virgos are looking for a long term partner, not a one night stand or an affair! They tend to seduce with finesse, charm and sublety so you may not even realize you're being lured by a Virgo!! Once Virgo has been in a relationship for awhile, they get engrossed in housework and things like that, which can cause a serious dip in libido. Do NOT let this happen! They are definitely more of a "can we cuddle instead" sign that a 'let's get it on!' one when committed. FAVE POSITION Almost anything, as long as it involves eye contact! BEST SEX TOY It's more of a game. Write down five wild sex acts and put them in a bowl. Get Virgo to pick one out at random, and then do what you're told!! Virgo LOVES spontaneous sexuality! VIRGO MALE IN BED You can be quite boring at times because you have set views on how a woman should be. You don't mean to criticize or offend, but your perfectionist ways may drive your lover loopy! You DO have some kinky ideas though, but it is difficult to get to the bottom of your passion! You are a creature of habit, so if your lover can get u into the habit of sleeping with her, who knows what might happen? VIRGO FEMALE IN BED You are hardworking and careful about your appearance, but you really do fantasize about getting down and dirty! You are a secret romantic and crave the perfect lover. Since the perfect lover doesn't exist, you'll take what you can get! You are quite insecure and need a partner who will adore you. You have strong passion beneath that practical exterior and are just waiting for someone to unearth it! THE BEST WAY TO TURN ON VIRGO Virgo's have a VERY sexually sensitive tummy!! If you wanna make them putty in your hands, stroke, lick and kiss their stomach!! The area from the bellybutton DOWN! Once you have them squirming, you can have anything you want!! Just remember to keep one hand on their tummy at all times!! LIBRA September 24 - October 23 Ruling Planet: Venus - The planet in charge of beauty, love peace, and stirring sensuality Libra is one of the sexiest signs in the zodiac, but if Libra can't get what they want from one lover, they will opt for two! They are notorious for having double standards in that situation too. They'll look you in the eye and say "never cheat on me, coz I would never do it to you", even when they have a hot night of passion planned with someone else! Librans are more turned on 'giving' than 'receiving'. They have a big heart and are the least selfish sign of the Zodiac. Libras are not very open about their thoughts or fantasies.

But can u handle her open-minded sexuality?She will hide her emotions from you, but don't make the mistake of hiding yours from her.

Parents that travel with large numbers of children?!? I feel like I'm always having to plan something! After we got back from a great day at the zoo, and I got a call from my sister asking if we wanted to rent a beach house with them (like one where the backyard is sand. It is great because it allows 20 people which allows enough for both families. We have a total off 11 children (I know scary). By then we will have: (3) one year old girls (2) two and a half year old girls (3) four year old boys - (1) four year old girl - (2) eleven year old girls plus 2 couples and a grandma - We were trying to plan out the rooms. There are 5 bedrooms plus an extra spare bedroom with 2 dressers that I think is for a nursery purpose. #1 - king bed #2 - king bed #3 - queen bed #4 - 3 sets of bunk beds #5 - 2 twin beds and 2 child beds (continued below) My husband and I can sleep in bedroom #1 and my sister and her husband can sleep in bedroom #2. Then my mother can sleep in bedroom #3. Then in bedroom #4 I think that all four of the 4 year olds can sleep in there. In bedroom #5 we can put the 11 year old girls and the 2 year old girls. The spare room has enough space for 3 pack-n-plays that the little girls can sleep in. There are sometimes parents that have ideas or tips for other parts of the trips. Thanks in advance. It's a house, nobody is under us we have the entire house. The houses next door are far enough away where we won't disturb anyone. Plus, the kids are great. Smiley - Yea I have 2 sets of triplets. It's so fun although a HUGE challenge.

It’s just another day, another ordinary day” Julia Lintheart was staring out her window, looking at the warm summer day. There were blue skies, green grass, you’d think it be perfect. But no. She was in a dismal mood. “Why should I be the only one not having fun? She thought to herself. “It’s just not fair”. Julia sighed once again as she stroked her long brown hair that draped around her right shoulder with her soft, pale hands. Julia was mad because she was the only one who hadn’t done adventurous over the summer. Time was running out only 3 weeks before the 9th grade. She had to something that she could remember the 8th grade summer by and something everyone else would remember her, Julia, by. Julia went downstairs into the kitchen of her medium sized home. The kitchen was a light tan color, with oak wood cabinets. There was a stainless steel oven, dishwasher and microwave. Her mother was loading dishes into the dishwasher as she came downstairs. “Well, we have to go pick up your little sister Rose from her friend, Lavender’s house”, her mother replied holding a white plate. “Do I have to come? Why can’t I say home with Dad? Er, wait Dad’s never home”, Julia said in a quiet tone, “He’s always on some tour, I just keep forgetting. “ As a rookie film producer he is very busy, but he’s quite good at it. He seems to have a knack for it. “I know, but it’s been two whole months. Sometimes I just wish he could come home. “We all do, Jules”, he mother said wiping her hands on the white towel. Was this remark supposed to make her feel better? Because she didn’t feel any better. In fact she felt sadder. ”Anyway, Julia you have to come.” “Why can’t I stay home? I’m old enough”, Julia inquired. “I know Julia but you have to go shopping you need clothes for fall. In case you are wondering Julia had already bought clothes for the winter last week. Julia wanted to roll her blue eyes but kept herself from doing so. Instead she said “whats wrong with the clothes I have”, glancing down at her dark blue jeans and her ABERCROMBIE t-shirt. Almost instantaneously her obsessive-shopping mother answered. “Your jeans are ripped, they’re too old and--- Julia cut her mother off. “Old. What do you mean old! 3 weeks ago, that’s old”! “Julia you are going shopping and that’s final”, her mother replied in a stern voice. Julia groaned. “When are we going?” “Half an hour” she answered. Julia went back up the spiral stair case and into her bedroom. Her bedroom was a light blue color. There was a twin sized bedroom that was right in the middle of her room. She walked on the soft carpet of her bedroom. She layed on her tootsie roll pillow. A raindrop fell on her window. It started to sprinkle outside. The blue skies turned gray. Julia didn’t know what to do. “Jules come on 1et’s go”, her mother called putting on her black trench coat. Julia dragged her feet down the steps. She went to the entrance hall of her home. She put her tennis shoes on and grabbed the black umbrella. Julia and her mother walked out the front door , and hopped into the silver minivan. Her mother backed out of the drive way. “Julia?” Her mother asked. “Yeah”, she answered. Mrs. Lintheart took a deep breath. “I-I just got off the”, she faltered. How do I put this nicely”? Julia, I just got off the phone with dad. We’re moving”. ~CHAPTER 2~ A million questions raced through her mind. Where are we moving? When are leaving? Why are we going? What are my friends going to think? “I’m sorry”, Mrs. Lintheart said apologetically. Julia didn’t know why he mother was so sorry. She wasn’t so mad herself. “Should I be mad”? She asked her mother. “No. Not at all, I just didn’t know how you were going to react”, she answered turning around a curb. “Where are we going?” Julia asked rather excited. “Hollywood”, her mother replied. Julia’s eyes widened and her jaw dropped. “What did you say?” “Well”, Mrs. Lintheart started. Your father has a role opening, and he needs a girl about your age. If you get it were staying at least till the movie is over. If you don’t we’re going to keep your father company. At this point Julia stopped listening. She didn’t need to be told anything more. She knew where this conversation was going. “So does this mean I get to be a star”? She asked being her curious self. “Actually no. You have to complete the auditions first.” She said adjusting her rearview mirror. Julia was a bit disappointed but was determined. They pulled into a driveway. “Oh and Jules, it’s best not to tell Rose about this”. The rain fell harder by the second. Julia sighed once again, but this time a good sigh. A sigh that meant I’m ready. Ready to be a star. She could picture herself. A millionaire, being pampered, and having the best life ever. Julia opened the car door. She opened the umbrella. They walked up the long driveway and rang the doorbell. Ding-Dong. A tall looking mother opened the door. Julia gaped at the sight of the house. From the outside you’d think it was a normal house, but it wasn’t. The foyer was huge. It had a ceiling so high it seemed like it was endless. There was a bright chandelier that came down almost blinding to the naked eye. The walls had a light gold design. “Oh my”, the tall women said pointing to the window. “It looks terrible out there”. “I know some weather”, Julia’s mother agreed. “Mom, mom, mom”, came Lavendar, Rose’s best friend. “Can Rose stay a bit longer?” “Only if it’s O.K with Rose’s mother”, Lavendar’s mother said with a chuckle. Julia glanced up at her mothers and gave her one of her I-don’t-want-to-stay-at-a-6 year old-house looks. Mrs. Lintheart patted Julia on her shoulder and smiled. One of her only-for-tonight-smiles. Perfect, Julia thought. I am wasting my time at a 6 year olds house. As Lavendar and Rose chatted away Mrs. Anderson (Lavendar’s mom) offered Julia and her mother some tea or coffee. They both politely refused by saying “no thank you”. The 3 went into the living room. Julia had already adjusted to the Anderson’s immense house but that did not change the fact that it was huge. In the living room the walls were a deep reddish-maroon color. There was a 72 inch plasma screen that stood there ready to be used. “Why don’t you have a seat”, Mrs. Anderson told Julia. “oh wait, would you rather go to home theater?” Julia smiled. “Oh that won’t be necessary”, Julia’s mother answering for her. Julia reluctantly gave a slight nod of her head. “Mom, why would you say something like that? Of course, I would rather watch a movie than listen to adults talk, she thought to herself. Julia was mad at her mother. “Oh well, she while thinking of all her unanswered questions. At 6:30 pm Julia’s mother decided that it was time to go home. “Lavendar, Rose” Mrs. Anderson called from the bottom of the deep blue colored carpet. They came sprinting down the steps. “Mommy”, I don’t want Rose to leave, Lavendar whined. “I’m afraid they’ve got to”, Mrs. Anderson said. She opened the door. By this time it was raining very hard. BOOM, they heard thunder. They saw a flash it was lightening. “Whoa”, Rose said. “It doesn’t seem to safe out there, you’re welcome to stay with us for the night”, Mrs. Anderson offered. “OH thank you we don’t have much of a choice, really” Mrs. Lintheart said. Julia couldn’t believe her ears. Was this really happening? No. No way. Not if she could help it. Julia gave her mother another one of her “looks”. Her mother gave her one of her “smiles”. “Only for tonight”, she added just in case Julia couldn’t understand her smile. “Ughhhhhh”, Julia thought in her mind. All this time Julia was trying to focus on the positive. O.k. I said trying. Lavendar was talking to Rose about how they have so many rooms, so they could sleep. The five went to the living room and turned the 72 inch television on to the weather channel. “We are looking at severe thunderstorms throughout the Chicago area”, the reporter announced. Julia would rather walk home in the rain than stay. She went upstairs with the adults and overheard that Rose would be sleeping in Lavendar’s bedroom and Julia and her mother would be staying in one of the three guest bedrooms. Mrs. Anderson showed them there room. It was like all the other rooms. Big. As you have probably comprehended by now Julia must dread in despair through the night. Fine. O.K. Well, I guess it’s not that bad. Unfortunately it doesn’t matter ehat you and I think, it’s up to Julia. I just write it down. They went back down stairs. “Oh dear”, Mrs. Anderson said looking directly at Rose. You must be starving. Do you want to eat something? “No, I’m not hungry; Rose replied in her high pitched voice, I want to play with Lavendar. Lavendar followed by Rose then Julia, and then the adults into the playroom. The playroom had a mini ball pit, a play slide, and lots of books mainly fairy tales. Ii also had pink and white striped walls. The grown-ups laughed and smiled. Suddenly the lights went out. It was pitch black. ~CHAPTER 3~ Mrs. Anderson could find her path through the criss-crossing hallway, down the steps, and into the room that contained the flashlight. She pressed the on button and a yellow beam of color shot out. The silver flashlight illuminated everything in its way. Anita Anderson walked up the steps, back through the criss-crossing, and into the playroom. As she entered the playroom she noticed two little bodies curled up on the play mats. Their eyes were shut tight and you could hear snoring. Mrs. Lintheart whispered something into Mrs. Anderson’s ear. Instantaneously, Anita walked out of the room and then came back in. Her arms were full of multi-colored sleeping bags. Julia was furious at once but kept her anger to herself. She wanted to atleast sleep on the bed. Julia’s mother helped unroll each of the five different color sleeping bags. Julia slipped into her red one , taking off her sweatshirt and placing it beside her. Julia had to admit she was a bit tired, although it was only 15 past eight. She closed her eyes, adjusted her pillow, and fell off into a deep sleep. She dreamt of pleasant dreams. “Hollywood”, she quietly murmured in her sleep. She was picturing herself getting the part, becoming a millionaire…you get the rest. The rest of her dreams were put to an end by the voice of her mother. “Juls”, she said quietly standing next to Julia. Time to get up” Julia rubbed her eyes, and stretched her legs as she sat up straight in her “bag”. She walked out yawning. She rolled it up into a neat ball. Julia realized that there were four empty sleeping bags beside her. She picked up her sleeping bag and followed her mother downstairs. She was to drowsy to speak. Lavendar and Rose were making a loud din chasing each other around the kitchen. Julia could smell the aroma of fresh blueberry pancakes being made. Julia loved pancakes. She sat down at the large maple wood table as two pancakes were placed in front of her. She was starving so she devoured them, but in a neat way. * * * * * * * * * ~Later that evening~ Julia had gotten back to her home. Julia was wondering what the auditions were going to be like and what she had to do to get the part. “Briing, briiiing”, the phone rang. She ran into the master bedroom and picked up the black phone. “Hello”, Julia called into the phone. “Juls, is that you?”, her dad asked “Yeah it’s me”, she said puzzled. “Who are you”? “Your daddy”, her dad replied. Julia gasped at these words. She couldn’t even recognize he fathers voice. He was touring Spain for ideas. “ Hi”. “ Honey, your just the person I wanted to talk to. I bet your mother has already told you about”, he paused. “Hollywood”, Julia finished for him squirming with joy. Her dad took a deep breath. “Um er about that, we need a girl for the part”, he started talking faster as he went along. Youre perfect for the part. I asked the producer and he said maybe. He aslso said that me being the director can’t do with anything with you getting the part. Anyway, you still have to audition a couple of lines. There aren’t many people competing for it. 16 including you to be exact. But you don’t have to move to Hollywood, you don’t even have to try out for the part if you don’t want to. “Dad, Julia started. I want to do everything you just mentioned. I want to move, get the part and become rich.“Just one question. What’s it about?” “Ah”, can’t tell you. “Huh”?, Julia asked baffled. “Show biz policy. You have exactly 24 hours to rehearse for the auditions. Julia gawked. “ So you are saying that I have 1 day practice”? “That’s right”, he answered casually. Then everything got quiet. A mysterious quiet. A chilling quiet. “Julia”, he whispered. Then he hung up. ~CHAPTER 4~ Julia pressed the round black button to off the phone. “What was that all about”? she wondered. She had so much to get ready for. Could she do it? Julia had no idea what the movie was about. Julia walked into the family room. It had two beige colored couches and a T.Vimon. She found Rose watching Bob the Builder. IT had just started so the theme song was playing. “Bob the Builder. Can he fix it? The T.V yelled. “Bob the builder. Yes he can!! Rose chimed in. “Rose, can I please watch now”? Julia asked as she turned her head away from the obnoxious show. “Nope”, Rose replied with her eyes still glue to the television. Julia didn’t bother arguing with her younger sister. So, she went upstairs to her bedroom and got out her pink cell phone. She called her two best friends Ally, and Nicole cell. Ally is a long haired blonde who loved nothing more than a good old adventure. Julia and Ally were alike because they both liked an adventure, but Ally was far more daring. I guess you could call her a risk taker. “Hey ally”, Julia called into the phone “ It’s Julia”. “Oh hey” Ally said. “Over the last few days I heard really big news. You know how my dad’s a film director and all”, Julia asked. “Yeah”, Ally replied wondering why her best friend was telling her something she already knew. “They have a part open, and I’m auditioning”, Julia squeaked. The two of them screamed with excitement. “When are you going”? Ally asked unable control her curiosity. “3 weeks, I could try to invite you. If you’d like”, she added. There was a slight pause in which Ally was thinking. Thinking about the “movie”. Was this really going to happen? “3 weeks”, she repeated. You do know what’s happening in 3 weeks, right? Julia was stunned. Here she was telling Ally the best news of her life so far but all she could about was school! “School, so”, Julia asked. “I can’t skip school”, Ally said rather mean. “I’m sorry, I am not trying to brag or anything”, Julia said. “I know”, Ally said back in her soft voice. “Bye”, Julia said. “Bye”, Ally said. Julia lied against her tootsie roll pillow. She looked out of her window. There was little light still shinning through them. Julia called Nicole. Nicole was the least adventurous. Unlike Julia and Ally, Nicole preferred to be “out of danger”. She liked adventures but if there was a slim chance of her getting in trouble she was out. Somehow she had always been dragged along. She was ind of short compared to the others, and had short brown hair. They continued their conversation for a while. This time it had gone much smoother. ~CHAPTER 5~ Days turned into weeks of boredom. One week until the big move. Ally invited Nicole and Julia over to her house. They greeted each other at the crisp white door. They went to Ally’s room. IT was messy. Clothes were on the ground along with her CD’s of her favorite bands: Daughtry and Maroon 5. There were school books scattered here and there. IN conclusion it was messy. Ally cleared a spot on the colorful bed and motioned for the two of them to sit down. “So Juls” Nicole started. “When’s the audition”? “One week”, Julia said. Nicole and Ally looked at each other and nodded their heads. “What”? Julia asked. “ We are going to get you ready for the movie in case you get the part”, Ally said. “We are? Nicole asked. What about the other thing”? “What other thing”, Julia said with a confused look on her face. “ We can do that later”, Ally suggested ignoring Julia’s question. Ally is more of a tomboy as you probably have figured out by now. After you read what’s next you will be surprised. “Wear these”, Ally told holding out a pair of silver sparkly high heels. “Why do I need these”, Julia said scared. Not a scared-scared but a scared-to-wear-high-heels-shoes-scared. “ Are you sure we won’t get in trouble, because I doubt those are your shoes, no offense Ally”, Nicole asked being her worried self. “Relax”, Ally said ignoring Julia’s question once again. Julia put the shoes on her feet. She started to wobble. She took two steps without falling and the third she fell to the ground with a thunk. “Ow”, Julia yelled. She had twisted her ankle. It wasn’t that bad but it still hurt. “Bad idea. Are you O.K? ” ally asked. “I knew something like this was going to happen. Are you O.K Juls? I am sooooooooo sorry. Nicole started to mumbled a few more words. “I’m fine”, Julia lied because it still hurt but her worrying friend went on. Ally apologized to Julia for making her wear the high heels although Julia knew that it was the clothes on the messy floor that made her trip not the shoes. * * * * * * * * One week had gone by like that. Back at the Lintheart’s Rose was throwing a fit after Mrs. Lintheheart explained where and why they were moving. “It’s not fair. It’s not fair at all. Why does she get everything she wants? It’s not fair”, Rose pouted stomping her tiny feet on the ground. “Now Rose be patient, her mother started, you’ll get turn. “I don’t want to be patient”, Rose said angrily. Julia came downstairs with her suitcase. They had packed earlier and were on there way. They piled into the silver minivan. When they arrived at the airport they waited. If you have a younger sibling and are going somewhere you probably know how it is. They create a scene, then a million pair of eyes look your way and well, you get humiliated. That’s exactly what Rose did. So I am not going to waste my time and your time describing the humiliation of Julia. They boarded the plane. The plane was quite small, but it had comfortable seats. The windows were shaped rectangles. Rose got the window seat, her mother was in the middle, and Julia got the aisle seat. As soon as Julia sat down she fell asleep. “Jules”, Mrs. Lintheart whispered. Julia’s eyes slightly opened then closed again. “Jules”, Mrs. Lintheart said a little louder. Nothing. “JULIA”, Rose screamed at the top of her lungs. Julia abruptly opened her eyes. She looked around the rest of the plane was empty. “We’re here, Mrs. Lintheart announced, in Hollywood”. ~CHAPTER 7~ They checked their luggage in. The people there were all very well-dressed. IT was mainly adults who were walking through the long lines. “Right outside this airport is Hollywood”, Julia whispered to Rose. “Just a few more minutes, Julia, Mrs. Lintheart explained. Then we will go by taxi to our hotel. “What’s our hotel like”? Rose asked her mother. Well, it’s called Hollywood Orchid Suites. It’s not too fancy but it is expensive, her mother replied as the three of them walked towards the door. We have been given the deluxe suite. Julia wasn’t listening she kept walking with her eyes focused on the door. Julia swung it open. There was a giant hill with HOLLYWOOD printed on it in big white letters. All three of the faces smiled. There was also a busy road making not too hard to find a taxi cab. They hopped in the bright yellow cab. “Where to”? The cab driver asked in his deep-commercial-like voice. “The Hollywood Orchid Suite”, Rose said in her high pitched voice answering for her mother. He driver dropped them off and waved goodbye. Mrs. Lintheart led the way inside while Rose took her time skipping and twirling in her ridiculously pink blouse and her pink sparkly shirt to match. They walked into the lobby. “ Who might you be”, the guy behind the counter asked Rose. “My name is Rose Lintheart”, Rose answered. “Lintheart eh”, the guy behind the counter said as he started to type something in the computer. “Ah yes, you will be staying in suite #339. Enjoy your stay”, he added as they started to walk away. Julia twisted the knob of suite #339. It wouldn’t budge. “You have to use the key card silly”, Rose said twirling. Julia didn’t remember Rose getting the key card from the guy behind the counter. Anyway, Julia slid the card inside and waited for the small green light to come up. She opened the door and walked inside. The room was cool. Two king sized beds, two T.V’s and a bathroom. On one of the beds they found a note. Julia read it aloud. Dear Julia Lintheart, We would like to inform you that your audition will take place tomorrow at Hollywood Studios. Be there no later than 12:00 pm. Your lines are attached to this note. Good Luck. “What else does it say?” Mrs. Lintheart asked. Your Lines You: Mom I’m bored. (say in a whiny voice) Mom: We have to go pick up your sister then go to the mall. You: Again? I hate going there. Mom: We need clothes for fall. You: Don’t I need clothes for winter first? Mom: We got those last week. Julia practiced with her mother. She stumble on every other word. “What was that”, Rose said being mean. Julia shot her a nasty look. “I’m just saying, Rose continued, that you acted better at Lavendar’s house”. “What are you talking about”? Julia asked, as if Rose was crazy. “You acted as if you hated going to Lavendar’s house when you enjoyed it. You pretended to be mad but you had nothing better to do. Julia knew that she was partially correct. Fine, Julia knew she was a hundred percent correct, but she still acted like Rose was crazy. “Why don’t you try again, Julia”, Mrs. Lintheart said trying to break the tension between the two sisters. Julia tried again and got it almost perfect. “What’s this”, Rose said pointing to the piece of paper with the lines on it. Julia took the piece of paper out of Rose’s hands. She looked at it carefully, there was another verse of lines. Do I have to recite these lines too, she thought to herself. The lines were sad. They were about girl who finds her long lost mother. “Let’s practice these too”, Julia told her mother. They practiced. There was crying scene that Julia just couldn’t get right. “Try thinking of something sad”, Rose said. Julia took this advice. She thought and thought but couldn’t find anything sad. Julia finally got something from her own life. Her dad. It seemed so long since Julia had seen him. Tears welled up in her eyes. “Mom, when will we see dad”? “If you get the part soon enough, if you don’t we could still visit him on set, but we’d have to notify him first”. Julia had a mission. The same mission as before (to get the part) but for a different reason. She longed to see her father. ~CHAPTER 8~ She slept through the night. She was ready, only half an hour till auditions. She was given an outfit to wear (provided by Hollywood Studios). It was a light blue baby doll top with black leggings. The lobby was big and grand. I do not know how to describe it other than the simple words big and grand. They went through the double doors and outside. They fetched a cab and rode on the busy streets of Hollywood. They pulled into the parking lot of Hollywood Studio. They walked inside and saw 15 other girls waiting to audition. Since she was the last audition, she saw some girls coming out crying, and others expressionless. It had black floors and there were three judges. There was also a person next to her that acted like the mom. The judges explained that she could choose either of the two verses to audition. Julia considered this thought very carefully. At the end she decided that she would choose the mall one because she practiced it more and she could relate to it better. Julia had butterflies in her stomach. She spoke clearly, and said the words with emotion. Julia felt a bit better. She thought that she had nailed the audition, but only time would tell if she got the part. She waited in the room along with the other girls. She was nervous. The main judge came out. He cleared his throat, “The winner who gets the part is Julia Lintheart.” Julia gasped. “Me”, Julia said scarcely believing what she just heard. Julia ran over her mother and gave her a hug. “Rose, thanks for your advice it really worked, and I knew you were right all along”, Julia told her sister. Julia felt like this was too good to be true. She had accomplished her mission, but still so many unanswered questions. Little did Julia realize that this was only the beginning.
Hey! This is my story, and I was wondering what people think. PROLOGUE: Gennet rummaged around her enchanting suite, there had to be some things appropriate for a princess on sea voyage. It was more difficult when she was awaiting her execution; she imagined the blade releasing her head from it’s binding with her body. Alas, this was just a pleasant day dream to what really awaited her, marriage. Marriage, the vile and cruel punishment her father was inflicting on her for being born a female. Unlike her eldest brother Nathaniel, who she envied, for he had the right to choose, to wear pants, and loose shirts, what a girl she was. Awaiting the “fairy tale” ending every young woman dreamt of. And she was considering hurling herself of the balcony. Waiting for Roman, the man who she would soon “share” the rest of her life with, more like be owned by him for all of eternity. With a smug smile, Gennet only packed one gown, the rest were stolen clothing articles from her brothers. She would act against this marriage, and perhaps be left alone in the process. Then, since she was not an appropriate bride she would be left on a dessert island, with only essential tools where she could be alone, with her pride for the rest of her peaceful life, sure. “Princess! Princess! Oh your highness, why the heavens are you still in here? The ship will be leaving in under an hour; you must go eat hurry along” Her trusty lady Quinn, how she was always by her side leading her. Promising companionship even through marriage, she was the woman any man would be grateful for, but she had her. She had her Quinn, forever and always, she’d rather marry her then Roman. “Oh! Yeah, I think I should go.” She replied, noting Quinn’s disapproving eyes on her unclosed suitcase. “Packing – light are we malady?” Quinn said with a sarcastic smile. “Don’t you dare tell on me” her eyes shot at Quinn, and with loyalty in her eyes, Quinn smiled. The ship was grand and charming fit for a royal family. And then --- there was Roman, who was telling the captain how he should navigate the ship. Why did this man think so highly of himself? Yes, he had Jet black hair, dark gray eyes that were cold and beautiful, a very many chest, and figure. The problem was this man had absolutely no qualities. Any qualities would be nice, maybe a hunter, or painter? But he resolved all problems with – servants. He lived to be served, and in all his “glory” assumed the people who served him lived to serve. Most fiancée’s are angry when they hear the help complaining of their Fiancé. Gennet laughed, and then joined in. Such a proper lady, of course, she was always on her very best behavior. Gennet chuckled. Aware of the night’s events that lay ahead of her she was sprawled out across her cabin bed, the last time she would be alone at night. She shivered and would sleep with peace. Grimacing at the thought of Roman caressing her for his own benefits, why was life punishing her so badly. She hated gowns more than anything, more than – Roman. Although she new better then to show up in anything but tonight, this was an important dinner, and she would be appropriate, for tonight. As she walked in late, into the beautiful dining room, with a room full of people who were to be the wedding guests, she took her seat next to Roman. It was so weird, she didn’t notice until now; he looked at her with big eyes the way some one that is in love looks, his eyes were widened, and he smiled at her. When she sat next to him he took her into his arms and gave her an embracing kiss. Gennet couldn’t see the rest of her life without him but she also could not spend the rest of her life with him. This was far too painful; she did not want the married life. Why was every one trying to fool her? After the terrible last supper was over she returned to her room and painfully sat on her bed. The cabin walls seemed to be caving in on her, just one night from now she would be in a beautiful beach palace, surrendering to a man that she never wished to see again. Sadly this man was her Fiancé. Roman, oh god Roman why did he have that hair? That body! No her life was not a romance novel it was a tragedy. Why did she have to keep reminding herself? She would marry him; of course it was her duty. Although who ever proclaimed that a wife must love and fulfill their husbands needs. Gennet was going to dedicate the rest of her life to torturing her loving husband, Roman. After falling asleep thinking she was so pleased to have awoken in a bed. She assumed that the boat had landed in the night, and some one had carried her in. She smiled. In a few hours she could start her torture on the unsuspecting Roman. Within minutes people were giving her food, and starting to torture her poor body. She wanted nothing more than to throw on her brothers clothing and be the groom instead. How lucky he had it, throw on a tux and his naturally perfect hair would compliment. What a jerk. Twenty more minutes until fun time! She wondered if maybe quite possibly she was one of the most insane people who had ever been a princess. Probably, but who cares. They weren’t the ones who had to be married to a woman who would rather dress like him then spend two seconds in his bed. She wondered how he would take the news that she was going to be sleeping in one of the extra bedrooms in the palace. Tonight she would humor him and return to his bedroom, then she would quietly tuck away on her own side of the honey moon bed. Honey was supposed to mean sweet. Sweet revenge, no man was going to almost seduce her and get away with it. They simply would have to pay, regardless if they were getting married or not. And then the moment had arrived, she found herself in a white lacey gown, with a veil. Tropical flowers positioned around the beach. She walked down the isle to the man she awaited to torture. Then she saw them, the eyes she thought were to be cold, today they were not so gray, actually they were deep emerald sparkly green. He was watching her with the most beautiful grin. Why! Why was he so terrible? Such a good actor, she half expected him to run away and join a theatre program. The part where she actually said “I do” made her cringe. She remembered it vaguely. Her father used to say it was best women not think. No wonder, she pretty much passed by the whole wedding, supper and evening without knowledge of what was going on. She was lying on the bed, staring at the eyes who expected her to sleep with them. She also saw the disappointment as she drifted off into the most bliss slumber of her life, probably existence. BEGGINING OF THE ACTUAL STORY: Roman awoke to stare into the eyes of his young bride. Yes, they had been married for two years, and he had not even had the chance to sleep with her. She only recently started sleeping in the same bed as him. She refused to dress in fancy gowns and would only wear small dresses, although he could not complain he didn’t know why she treated him this way. Perhaps she was still hostile over an arranged marriage, but why so much? He loved her more than he could ever imagine, he saw her beautiful eyes ever day of the week and never second guessed himself. He didn’t mind that she wore what she wanted it; it turned him on that she had such an expressive self-opinion. The world could use more women like Gennet, she made him feel like the luckiest man of all time, because he could be himself around her. Roman loved her to the point in which he could not see what he was doing wrong. Did the love of his life honestly believe he saw her as eye candy? She had tried to make certain that she wasn’t eye candy that was for sure. Roman was in love with the woman that it seemed he could never have, his wife. Perhaps it should hurt his ego that she was doing this to him, but he was so very blinded by love. What did he know about love the first woman that he ever loved was laying in his bed, ring on her finger, and wouldn’t even let him touch her? Gennet was the most beautiful seductive and evil creature he had ever set his eyes on. Roman was going to be a king in many years, and was also a business man, although he was a prince he was also in charge of many affairs that his country was to face. He got to spend many hours a day away from his wife. Many men saw this as a challenge. He however was glad to get away, away from the woman that seemed to have made a bet with herself to make his life miserable. Soon he and Gennet would be moving to New York City, in the beautiful Upper East Side. The house was not going to be too big, just one of the most elite in New York. He could afford just that, and maybe he would be able to soften his bride up when he got her out of the country. He looked into Gennet’s eyes, she never talked. This country was too old-fashioned. Women forced to wear gowns, and marry through laws. He knew that Gennet would instantly love America, and of course the big bustling city. He just hoped that finally she would see that he did not see her as a trophy wife. For in New York, they could be a normal couple – to the extent she would allow. Who knows she might even take so much advantage with a new citizenship and divorce him.

Do you my parents just set me up? So for Easter, after we opened our presents from "the Easter bunny", my mom had a present for everyone. She gave us each an envelope and inside was a plane ticket to Mexcio. We are going on April 4th! In my envelope, there was an extra ticket for my best friend who can't afford to go anywhere. I was so exicted that I would get a break from taking care of my brothers and sisters (I'm the oldest of 5 and one of the way). Then my mom tells me that she has to book 2 roms (not connecting but next to each other) because they only allow 3 kids per room. The first room (my mom and my 2 brothers age 4 and 2) has a king and 2 twin beds. The other bedroom (me, my friend, and my 2 sisters age 6 and 8) has 2 queens and 2 twins). I'm afraid that I'm going to be responsible for the girls, like I always am. And my little brother, Nick (4) always likes to climb into bed with my little sister, so I know that he will always want to sleep in our room. I think my mom just let me bring along a friend (more) so I didn't complain about babysitting everyone? What should I do? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Aitrh0GSy5ecZ8jadXbyDqDsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20080322202622AAlVEzo ^my weekday
Should I have a dog in a flat? Not gonna tell the landlord.. :S? Me and my fiance live in a first floor 2 bed flat (very big) and are desperate for a dog. ideal breed is something small like a cavalier king charles spaniel. It would be ok wouldnt it?! I figured we could set up the spare bedroom for him for the few hours a day when hes on his own (4 max) and you can buy them puppy training pads for him to use as a toilet til we get home and can take him out.. :D i guess im looking for someone to find a flaw in my plan.. im very fit so can take him on 2 long walks every day. finally... im pretty sure we cant have dogs in the flat, i mean the landlord prob wudnt want it! but how is he going to know, hes in london, its all organised thru an estate agent. also only the capet is the landlords and i have no prob gettin big accidents professionally cleaned or just paying a fee when we move out.. anyone disagree... :S thanks soooo much! x yeah but who would neighbours complain to? half the people here have bought their flats, we all have different landlords....
