I groom a champion one that's 27 inches. She had an uncle that was 37 inches (he was a horse) and his sister was 23 inches. They are beautiful dogs if their coat & nutrition is kept up property. I can get you a picture of her standing next to somebody but you'd have to wait until next week. |

Whats the ghost story of Hey, i might be staying at
Flanders Hotel, New Jersey,
for a month. I have heard
ghost stories of Emily(Lady in
White), who is a happy ghost
that haunts Flanders Hotel. I
was wondering why she haunts
the Flanders Hotel, and how
she died to become a ghost.
Thank you!

The hotel wasn't built until 1923. WWI was over by 1918. WWII didn't start until 1939. So .... Miss Emily wasn't waiting for her soldier boy to return. She's been seen wearing a long white gown and being barefooted. Not exactly Roaring 20's beach attire. Which makes me wonder if it's the Flanders she's supposed to be haunting to begin with and not some prior structure, especially with the older type clothing she's wearing. She's been seen around the hotel BUT most recently in the basement in 1999. It's a boardwalk hotel which would make the basement and first floor a floor HIGHER than an origional structure on the ground. Miss Emily could still be "living" in a spot that was once a two story beach house or two story hotel prior to the Flanders. She's a happy, laughing, and SINGING ghost. They supposedly have a story with a painting of what she is supposed to look like at the hotel but nothing online. |

How would you personaly A war poem the text is below:
In Flanders Fields
by John McCrae, May 1915
In Flanders fields the poppies
blow
Between the crosses, row on
row,
That mark our place; and in
the sky
The larks, still bravely
singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns
below.
We are the Dead. Short days
ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw
sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now
we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the
foe:
To you from failing hands we
throw
The torch; be yours to hold it
high.
If ye break faith with us who
die
We shall not sleep,
though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
Please Help

During WW1 poppies flowered all over the land where the fighting had been taking place - as they do in any recently disturbed soil. For that reason, we British still wear poppies in our buttonholes in November to remember the dead. The crosses are figurative, marking the places where millions of men died. The lark is a symbol that however awful man is to man, nature still rules. The second stanza makes it clear that the dead who fell in battle are talking - they point out that until they were killed they were just men like any other men and they shared all the emotions the living still feel. They ask the living to continue the fight and they pass on a metaphorical torch, saying that they can not rest easy in their graves if the living do not continue the battle. I don't like this last stanza, as it does encourage young men to go on and kill other young men, merely because they are the foe. The cause is thought to be a noble one - hence the reference to the torch which is being handed on. Perhaps the best way to have kept faith with the dead would to have been to arrange an honourable peace in order that others did not have to die and the world be spared a century of conflict. The poem was written in 1915 when perhaps a few were still all 'gung ho' about the war. Read the poems of Wilfred Owen (who was killed in the last days of the fighting) to get a different perspective |

Best advice is to look in the classified ads in your local newspaper. Firewood suppliers seem to come out of the woodwork as winter approaches. Prices are competitive, but quality, quantity, and other services can vary greatly. The first thing you want to do is make sure that you get hardwood firewood that has been seasoned. Oak is the typical hardwood. It burns relatively clean, long, and hot. Ideally, it should be split and stacked at least six months before you buy it so it has a chance to dry out (seasoned). Starting a fire with green unseasoned wood can be difficult and it will also cause you to have to have your chimney cleaned more often due to the moisture in the wood being turned to water vapor as it burns. Firewood may be advertised for sale by the "cord" or by the pickup truck load. A stacked cord of wood contains 128 cubic feet of wood as arranged in a pile 8' long by 4' wide by 4' high. The wood should be split and fairly tightly stacked. A loosely stacked cord may contain significantly less than a true cord of wood. A full sized pickup truck has a bed that is 4' side by 8' long. By the time the bed is loose stacked with wood, it is usually far less than a full cord. The price for a pickup truck load of wood should be less than the price for a stacked cord. Many people buy a load of firewood only to discover that the seller plans on dropping it off by the homeowners driveway when they show up. All of a sudden there is an "extra charge" for stacking the firewood in the rear of the house. Make sure that stacking in the location of your choice is part of the deal up front. Having said all of that, ask your neighbors where they get their firewood. Many times you will get a good referral from them. If you have to find your own source, many firewood dealers have woodlots where they split and store the wood. They often have it seperated into cords or truckloads. It pays to visit one of these yards and pick out your own cord of wood for delivery. I hope this information helps. Good luck with your search for good firewood. |
