Years ago I saw a European film (it was definitely subtitled) where a crazy old guy lives with his 20-ish daughter on an isolated farm by some woods - a photographer falls in love with the girl. At one point the crazy guy chops off the hooves of their horse, or it *might* be a cow. There's also a scene late on where soldiers/farmers are murdered in a field and the war photographer narrowly escapes joining them.
It's set around 1940s maybe since there's a war going on at the time, everyone in it was white -- set in the former Yugoslavia maybe. I thought it was a Polanski movie but cannot ever find more about it. The latest it could be made is around 1999-2000 when I watched it on TV, and it looked like it might be made in 80s-90s. I also thought it had the word "Moon" in the title but I could just be making that up.
This has bothered me for years, I'd like to know what I watched please!
A woman went to the doctor's office. Where she was seen by one of the new doctors ...
... but after about 4 minutes in the examination room, she burst out, screaming as she ran down the hall.
An older doctor stopped her and asked what the problem was, and she told him her story. After listening, he had her sit down and relax in another room.
The older doctor marched down the hallway to the back where the first doctor was and demanded, " What's the matter with you? Mrs. Terry is 63 years old, she has four grown children and seven grandchildren, and you told her she was pregnant? "
The new doctor continued to write on his clipboard and without looking up said, " Does she still have the hiccups?"

Farmer John lived on a quiet rural street. But, as time went by, the traffic slowly built up ...
... at an alarming rate. The traffic was so heavy and so fast that his chickens were being run over at a rate of three to six a day.
So one day Farmer John called the sheriff's office and said, "You've got to do something about all of these people driving so fast and killing all of my chickens." "What do you want me to do?" asked the sheriff. "I don't care, just do something about those crazy drivers!" So the next day he had the county workers go out and erected a sign that said: SLOW: SCHOOL CROSSING
Three days later Farmer John called the sheriff and said, "You've got to do something about these drivers. The 'school crossing' sign seems to make them go even faster." So, again, the sheriff sends out the county workers and they put up a new sign: SLOW: CHILDREN AT PLAY
That really sped them up. So Farmer John called and called and called every day for three weeks. Finally, he asked the sheriff, "Your signs are doing no good. Can I put up my own sign?" The sheriff told him, "Sure thing, put up your own sign." He was going to let the Farmer John do just about anything in order to get him to stop calling everyday to complain. The sheriff got no more calls from Farmer John. Three weeks later, curiosity go the best of the sheriff and he decided to give Farmer John a call. "How's the problem with those drivers. Did you put up your sign?" "Oh, I sure did. And not one chicken has been killed since then. I've got to go. I'm very busy." He hung up the phone. The sheriff was really curious now and he thought to himself, "I'd better go out there and take a look at that sign... it might be something that WE could use to slow down drivers..."
So the sheriff drove out to Farmer John's house, and his jaw dropped the moment he saw the sign. It was spray-painted on a sheet of wood: NUDIST COLONY: GO SLOW AND WATCH OUT FOR THE CHICKS!

A woman received a phone call that her daughter was very sick with a fever.
She left work and stopped by the pharmacy for some medication for her daughter. When returning to her car to find she had locked her keys inside. She had to get home to her sick daughter, and didn't know what to do. She called her home to the baby sitter, and was told her daughter was getting worse.
She said, "You might find a coat hanger and use that to open the door." The woman found an old rusty coat hanger on the ground, as if someone else had locked their keys in their car. Then she looked at the hanger and said, "I don't know how to use this."
She bowed her head and asked God for help.
An old rusty car pulled up, driven by a dirty, greasy, bearded man with a biker skull rag on his head.
The woman thought, "Great God. This is what you sent to help me????" But she was desperate, and thankful.
The man got out of his car and asked if he could help.
She said "Yes, my daughter is very sick. I must get home to her. Please, can you use this hanger to unlock my car." He said, "Sure." He walked over to the car and in seconds the car was opened.
She hugged the man and through her tears she said, "thank you so much .... You are a very nice man."
The man replied, "Lady, I ain't a nice man. I just got out of prison for car theft."
The woman hugged the man again and cried out loud..... "Thank you god for sending me a professional!"

A couple of nuns who were nursing sisters had gone out to the country to minister to an out-patient.
On the way back they were a few miles from home when they ran out of gas. They were standing beside their car on the shoulder when a truck approached.
Seeing ladies of the cloth in distress, the driver stopped to offer his help.
The nuns explained they needed some gas.
The driver of the truck said he would gladly drain some from his tank, but he didn't have a bucket or can.
One of the nuns dug out a clean bedpan and asked the driver if he could use it.
He said yes, and proceeded to drain a couple of quarts of gas into the pan. He waved good-bye to the nuns and left.
The nuns were carefully pouring the precious fluid into their gas tank when the highway patrol came by.
The trooper stopped and watched for a minute, then

1)An extraordinarily handsome man decided he had the God-given responsibility to marry the perfect woman so they could produce children beyond comparison.
With that as his mission he began searching for the perfect woman. After a diligent, but fruitless, search up and down the east coast, he started to head west. Shortly thereafter he met a farmer who had three stunning, gorgeous daughters that positively took his breath away. So he explained his mission to the farmer, asking for permission to marry one of them.
The farmer simply replied, "They're all lookin' to get married, so you came to the right place. Look them over and select the one you want."
The man dated the first daughter. The next day the farmer asked for the man's opinion.
"Well" said the man, " She's just a weeeeee bit, not that you can hardly notice, but pigeon-toed."
The farmer nodded and suggested the man date one of the other girls; so the man went out with the second daughter.
The next day, the farmer again asked how things went.
"Well," the man replied, "She's just a weeeee bit, not that you can hardly tell, cross-eyed."
The farmer nodded and suggested he date the third girl to see if things might be better. So he did.
The next morning the man rushed in exclaiming, "She's perfect, just perfect! She's the one I want to marry!" So they were wed right away.
Months later the baby was born. When the man visited nursery he was horrified: the baby was the ugliest, most pathetic human you can imagine. He rushed to his father-in-law asking how such a thing could happen considering the parents.
"Well," explained the farmer, "She was just a weeeee bit, not that you could hardly tell, pregnant when you met her."
2)Little Johnny was in the garden filling in a hole when his neighbor peered over the fence.
Interested in what the cheeky-faced youngster was doing, he politely asked, "What are you up to there, Johhny?"
"Well, my goldfish died," replied Johnny tearfully, without looking up,"and I've just buried him."
The neighbour was concerned, "That's an awfully big hole for a goldfish, isn't it?"
Johnny patted down the last heap of earth then replied...
"That's because he's inside your cat!"
Headless horseman-
The story is set circa 1790 in the Dutch settlement of Tarry Town, New York, in a secluded glen called Sleepy Hollow. It tells the story of Ichabod Crane, a lean, lanky, and extremely superstitious schoolmaster from Connecticut, who competes with Abraham "Brom Bones" Van Brunt, the town rowdy, for the hand of 18-year-old Katrina Van Tassel, the daughter and sole child of a wealthy farmer, Baltus Van Tassel. As Crane leaves a party he attended at the Van Tassel home on an autumn night, he is pursued by the Headless Horseman, who is supposedly the ghost of a Hessian trooper who had his head shot off by a stray cannonball during "some nameless battle" of the American Revolutionary War, and who "rides forth to the scene of battle in nightly quest of his head". Ichabod mysteriously disappears from town, leaving Katrina to marry Brom Bones, who was "to look exceedingly knowing whenever the story of Ichabod was related". Although the nature of the Headless Horseman is left open to interpretation, the story implies that the Horseman was actually Brom Bones in disguise.

Thanks so much guys you don't even know how important this is.
my mum and dad split up 7 years ago because he was violent towards her, he had a serious alcohol addiction and still does and he had many affairs. My mum struggled allot because she has four children and my dad spent most of his money on booze and cigarettes which left my mum with barely any money to feed us or buy us basic urgent things.
He had 3 children with his previous marriage (they are in there 20's now) and he doesn't bother with them either and never did when they were younger, he goes to drop off the odd birthday card when he remembers to. my mum used to bring his son to see my dad when they were together but when they split up he stopped seeing him, a few months later my brother slit his wrists and nearly died, due to the fact he loved my dad and he didn't bother with him any more.
my dad doesn't give my mum maintenance so we had to sell th house and move to a village neer where my dad lives with his girlfriend who he had th affair with (she is still with her husband and he does not know they are having an affair and have been for the past 7 years).
He doesnt seem to bother with us now ( me and my 15 year old sister) although he comes to take my brother to his house because my dad uses him as a free worker because my dad is an engineer and a farmer and my brother knows how to farm and fix engines. i dont think my brother realises that he is being used but its not my place to say because if he wants to do it then no on is stopping him. when he comes to pick up my brother he doesnt even say hi to me or my sister and its really upsetting.
his dad was similar and had a gambling addiction and he was also addicted to hiring prositutes and bringing them home, in front of his 4 daughters and two sons. he was also sectioned many times and suffered with bipola so i dont know if its the fact that he hasnt learnt to be a good dad from his dad or just the fact that he doesnt love his children. however, my dads brother is a great father to his children.
i have always made an effort with my dad and when i see him i hug him but he doesnt hug me back.
should i shut him out of my life and accept rejection?
Rush Limbaugh and his chauffeur were out driving in the country and accidentally hit and killed a pig that had wandered out on a country road.
Limbaugh told the chauffeur to drive up to the farm and apologize to the farmer.
They drove up to the farm, the chauffeur got out and knocked on the front door and was let in. He was in there for what seemed hours. When he came out, Limbaugh was confused about why his employee had been there so long.
"Well, first the farmer shook my hand, then he offered me a beer, then his wife brought me some cookies, and his daughter showered me with kisses," explained the driver.
"What did you tell the farmer?" Limbaugh asked.
The chauffeur replied, "I told him that I was Rush Limbaugh's driver and I'd just killed the pig."
Please help me out!! I have two daughters and I am a single father. My divorce has taken me down hill in money. We don't want to sell the house but I am afraid that's what it has come down to. My daughters don't want to move either. Please help me by letting me know the best way to make money. I am a full time farmer but it isn't bringing in enough money for me to pay house payments or just to live off of. Thank you for the help.
When you have verses like these for apostates and non believers (atheists)
“One day a man who had an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father got into a fight with one of the Israelite men. During the fight, this son of an Israelite woman blasphemed the LORD’s name. So the man was brought to Moses for judgment. His mother’s name was Shelomith. She was the daughter of Dibri of the tribe of Dan. They put the man in custody until the LORD’s will in the matter should become clear. Then the LORD said to Moses, “Take the blasphemer outside the camp, and tell all those who heard him to lay their hands on his head. Then let the entire community stone him to death. Say to the people of Israel: Those who blaspheme God will suffer the consequences of their guilt and be punished. Anyone who blasphemes the LORD’s name must be stoned to death by the whole community of Israel. Any Israelite or foreigner among you who blasphemes the LORD’s name will surely die. ” (Leviticus 24:10-16)
“Suppose someone secretly entices you—even your brother, your son or daughter, your beloved wife, or your closest friend—and says, ‘Let us go worship other gods’—gods that neither you nor your ancestors have known. They might suggest that you worship the gods of peoples who live nearby or who come from the ends of the earth. But do not give in or listen. Have no pity, and do not spare or protect them. You must put them to death! Strike the first blow yourself, and then all the people must join in. Stone the guilty ones to death because they have tried to draw you away from the Lord your God, who rescued you from the land of Egypt, the place of slavery.” (Deuteronomy 13:6-10)
“When you begin living in the towns the Lord your God is giving you, you may hear that scoundrels among you are leading their fellow citizens astray by saying, ‘Let us go worship other gods’—gods you have not known before. In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully. If you find that the report is true and such a detestable act has been committed among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy[b] all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock. Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the open square and burn it. Burn the entire town as a burnt offering to the Lord your God. That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt. (Deuteronomy 13: 12-16)
“When you begin living in the towns the Lord your God is giving you, a man or woman among you might do evil in the sight of the Lord your God and violate the covenant. For instance, they might serve other gods or worship the sun, the moon, or any of the stars—the forces of heaven—which I have strictly forbidden. When you hear about it, investigate the matter thoroughly. If it is true that this detestable thing has been done in Israel, then the man or woman who has committed such an evil act must be taken to the gates of the town and stoned to death.” (Deuteronomy 17:2-5)
“Then they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their ancestors, with all their heart and soul. They agreed that anyone who refused to seek the Lord, the God of Israel, would be put to death—whether young or old, man or woman“(2nd Chronicles 12-13)
General Killing in Practice
“Then I heard the LORD say to the other men, “Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity! Kill them all – old and young, girls and women and little children. But do not touch anyone with the mark. Begin your task right here at the Temple.” So they began by killing the seventy leaders. “Defile the Temple!” the LORD commanded. “Fill its courtyards with the bodies of those you kill! Go!” So they went throughout the city and did as they were told.”(Ezekiel 9:5-7)
“You are my battle-ax and sword,” says the LORD. “With you I will shatter nations and destroy many kingdoms. With you I will shatter armies, destroying the horse and rider, the chariot and charioteer. With you I will shatter men and women, old people and children, young men and maidens. With you I will shatter shepherds and flocks, farmers and oxen, captains and rulers. “As you watch, I will repay Babylon and the people of Babylonia for all the wrong they have done to my people in Jerusalem,” says the LORD. “Look, O mighty mountain, destroyer of the earth! I am your enemy,” says the LORD. “I will raise my fist against you, to roll you down from the heights. When I am finished, you will be nothing but a heap of rubble. You will be desolate forever. Even your stones will never again be used for building. You will be completely wiped out,” says the LORD. (Jeremiah 51:20-26)
“Anyone who is captured will be run through with a sword. Their little children will be dashed to death right before their eyes. Their homes will be sacked and their wives raped by the attacking hordes. For I will stir up the Medes against Babylon,
Even one verse would make a person sick.

A farmer has some pigs and some chickens. He sent his son and his daughter to count how many of each he has. "I counted seventy heads," said his son. "And I counted two hundred legs," said his daughter. How many pigs and how many chickens does the farmer actually have? Show or explain how you got your answer.
My husband, our 9 month old daughter and I were going to take a vacation to visit a few friends in Kanasa. We were wondering what the best month would be to go. He is a farmer so we have to go in Jan, Feb or March. What is the weather like? And what are places we shoul maybe stop at or are a must to see?! The city we will be around is Great Bend. Thanks!
The farmer "hires" the illegal to work in the field. So produce can be sold at a low price. As Americans shouldn't you treat people with humanity? People dying for the lack of water under the 120 degree sun? So the illegal gets mad, rapes the farmer's 15yr old daughter, starts a gang, does drugs, causes crime, all for some cheap apples.
Some one should start an agency that brings labor workers to the farms and right back out. Come back next year buddy. Or hey, how about getting teenagers back in the fields. Kids these days are to lazy and just play their game console and lose life's hard work lessons. No way everybody says, the hard working farmer is to make his tens of thousands of dollars.
But how can the farmer farm in CA? They limit the supply of water to them. But lets send 3 billion dollars to Africa so they can farm and feed their people. You know all that money is going straight to their greedy presidents. Where in the heck is my tax money going?
@Paula -
No the farmer may not know the illegal is a criminal but the farmer knows he/she is illegal.
I once work in a onion packaging place. And nobody spoke english. Im like wtf? The man running the place had me do work for 2 people (everybody did). And paid cash. WTF? Yeah i left that slave running operation after a week. Should of told the cops. But i was 15 so legally i shouldn't be working either haha.
@Naty
Why are you so defensive to the illegals & prosecuting me? Did I not explain how illegals are treated unfairly and what leads after that? Did I not say how Americans want cheap produce? It clearly states on my post/question how the gov't throws hurdles at the farmer. And what the helll is EBT?
What we should do is hold farmers responsible in who they hire, have the gov't help ease the financial worry farmers have while keeping prices down. Yeah its hard but thats our gov't they should make it happen.
I don't even know if it's actually a bee sting, but we had a few around at the farmer's market and that's the only thing I can figure it possibly to be. It's a red slightly swollen bump on her middle finger. She never cried out, and only was fussy the first time I layed her down for a nap upon return. But she has since settled after trying again to lay down again.
Images I googled, make it seem like a bee sting. But I can't find any with the stinger left in to see how to know if the stinger was left in on my daughter. So would the stinger be obvious if it was left in? Aside from some motrin if she is irritable, is there anything else to calm the pain or what not that could arise? What else could possibly arise? And she doesn't seem to be 'reacting' so then can I clear her for not being allergic?
Sorry, I'd ask my mom all this, but she's not answering her phone!!
The Farmer and the Cowman should be friends because:
a) One man likes to push a plough.
...and
b) The other likes to chase a cow.
But that's no reason why they can't be friends, right? Territory folks should stick together because it's only natural for the Cowboys to dance with farmer's daughters and for the Farmers to dance with the ranchers' girls, am I right?!
But I would like to start off and say a word for the Farmer.
They came out west and made a lot of changes
They came out west and built a lot of fences.
But then again, they built the fences right across the Cowman's cattle ranges.
But also...
The Farmer is a good and thrifty citizen, no matter what the Cowman says or thinks!
You seldom see them drinking in a bar room!
That is, unless of course someone else is buying the drinks.
But still, the Farmer and the Cowman should be friends! The Cowman ropes a cow with ease, the Farmer steals her butter and cheese, but that's no reason why they can't be friends.
Now I'd like to say a word for the Cowboy!
The road he treads is difficult and stony.
He rides for days on end with just a pony for a friend (I sure am feeling sorry for the pony!)
The Farmer should be sociable with the Cowboy if he rides by and asks for food and water.
Don't treat the Farmer like a louse make him welcome in your house (but be sure that you lock up your wife and daughters!)
But now I'd like to teach you all a little saying, and learn these words by heart, they way you should:
I don't say I'm not better than anybody else, but I'll be dammed if I'm not just as good!
See! The Farmer and the Cowman should be friends!!
Who's with me?!
My story is a bit long, so please bare with me. My husband and I
have been married for 18 years, together for 20. We have two
children-one in college and one 13 year old son. When we first
started dating and after we got married, we both did quite a bit of
drinking. When I got pregnant with our son, I quit, and it soon
became clear how much drinking had become part of our lives. My
husband continued drinking and I soon realized there was a huge problem with it. He is a farmer and he would drink while he was in the tractor and come home drunk. When our son was about 3 and our daughter was 11, I decided I had enough. I told him he either needed to get help, or I was leaving. He first tried outpatient treatment which didn't last. He ended going to an intense in-patient treatment for about
10 days. He was sober for about 9 years. During the first 2 or 3
years of his sobriety, I did not drink at all. Things went along
fine. Then I started drinking socially when he assured me he didn't
mind. A couple of years ago he fell into a deep depression and
blamed it on the farm economy, etc. Then about 7 months ago, he
started drinking socially also. When he did this, I asked him if it
was such a good idea. I'll never forget his words. He said, "I'm in
control." From then on, things got worse. Last April I was 120
miles away from home staying with relatives while my dad was deathly ill. My son called me at 6am one morning asking, "Where's dad?" I thought my husband was laying dead in a ditch somewhere. It turned out that he went to the bar the night before, didn't want to drive and stayed at a friends' house. From that day on, I knew I was in for another ride on the "alcoholic's rollercoaster". And I was right. He started closing up the bar 2-3 nights a week and driving home, and telling me I am making too much of a big deal out of his wanting to have a "few beers", etc. I told him I wasn't going to put up with this again and said I would leave (the classic threat). He promised to straighten up. This cycle has happened at least 5 times in the past few months. He would go out on a bender and the next morning he would feel sorry and say he know he needs help, etc. But actions speak louder than words and so far all I am hearing are the words. This last time he was sober for over a week. Then the night before last he came home from the field quite drunk. I was so angry but didn't yell. I was more angry about the fact he was supposed to come home and help our son with some drawing for school that I had no idea how to do. But of course he was too inebriated to do so. I am so worried about the effect of all of this on our son. A couple of weeks ago, I found out our son even called his dad at the bar at 1:30am to find out when he was coming home. Our son is a total "daddy's boy" and loves to be out farming with his dad. He is a huge help on the farm with harvesting, plowing, etc. It hurts me so much to think how confusing this is to him. His dad didn't drink for most of his life, now all
of a sudden his dad gets drunk, drives, goes to the bar, drinks while
driving the machinery, etc. About a month ago, I was looking for an
apartment. I was looking for something that didn't have a lease,
would allow my little dog, and was affordable. Low and behold the
first number I called had all three. I went and looked at the
apartment and put the deposit on it. The current renters are waiting
for bank paperwork for their house so I can't move in yet. This
morning I told my husband I was going to take that apartment and move out. I told him I would give him 6 months. He can decide to get
sober and get our marriage back together or if not, then that is his
choice and I am moving on. He didn't have a whole lot to say. I
told him I wanted us to sit down with our son and explain to him what
will be taking place. My husband just says "yeah". He is a GREAT
guy (like all alcoholics), doesn't physically abuse, works hard, etc.
I told him that even if we took alcohol out of the equation, our
marriage still has problems that we would need to fix. But with the
alcohol involved, I feel we are at a road block in our lives. And I
don't think things are going to get better if I don't leave. I feel
like I make things way too easy for him. I work full time, do ALL of
the housework, grocery shopping, laundry, run our son all over to his
sports, confirmation, help with homework, etc. and I quit asking him
for any help with anything at all. My husband's life seems to consist of working in the field all day, coming home and going to bed, or else drinking first, then coming home and going to bed. I am so torn up inside. We even tried going to a marriage counselor who asked my husband if he would be willing to quit drinking for 4 months so that we can get our marriage back on track. At that time my husband said he wasn't willing. But I am so confused. One day he'll sa
I found DJ's answer insightful-thank you for your input. But in Alanon--there are three C's-you didn't cause it, you can't control it, and you can't cure it. Hindsight is 20/20, but he is in control of his own life and destiny.
Heyyyy,
I'm currently in the process of writing a novel about an Australian girl going to boarding school in Herefordshire, England. Yes, I know it is an overused and cliche-sounding plot, a foreign boarding school transfer, but it isn't your typical storyline -- I am trying to divert people from stereotyping such plotlines. (Straying away from the whole Wild Child, Harry Potter thing.)
Anyway, in spite of the plot, I would just like some constructive feedback on the introduction of my first chapter! The prologue, which I shan't include, is just basically an acceptance letter to my main character, which gives an intriguing insight into the school.
Anyway, here we go:
"To any normal London citizen, a trip to the Fenchurch Street Railway Station would be considered insignificant. But as a tall, dark-haired girl struggled with her full luggage trolley and tried to take in every detail of her surroundings at the same time, it was with a certain degree of amusement that she reflected on just how far from a ‘normal London citizen’ she really was.
For Zephora Norling, this trip to the railway station was just as much an unimportant excursion as she was an old Polish potato farmer. It was the beginning of a new life.
Having flown in from Australia a mere two weeks earlier – a country that was half-way across the globe and unbeknownst to the extremity of British winters – there had been an initial culture shock. Despite the fact that both England and Australia spoke a similar language, used an analogous political system and even shared a Queen, everything else was completely different. Australia was a harsh, wild land that bore an inexplicable sense of freedom, whereas England seemed to be a relatively anodyne country where the most dangerous wildlife to be encountered was a ruminating cow. And, more importantly, no one seemed to have any idea of what a pair of ‘overalls’ were.
She was slightly overwhelmed by the several strangers who’d approached her in the past fortnight, holding high hopes of hearing an accent to rival Paul Hogan’s. She’d had to politely inform them that she’d grown up in Adelaide, not the rural outback, and their excited expressions had quickly waned upon detecting only a slight lilt in her speech. They all seemed to have placed Australians under the most ridiculous of stereotypes. One flight attendant had even asked her father if he rode a kangaroo to work.
Zephora struggled not to lose control over her trolley as she swerved out of the way of various passersby. The station was incredibly crowded, even for an early Thursday morning. She had yet to grow accustomed to the way England seemed to have such a large number of people crammed into such a small place.
An indignant squawk from somewhere behind brought Zephora to an abrupt stop.
“Mum!” she cried, momentarily abandoning her luggage to help the beset woman up off of the grimy station floor. She’d been bowled over by a crowd of ignorant Japanese tourists who were also quite possibly blind. Zephora resisted the urge to snigger when they were once again the font of an unfortunate blunder a little while away.
“Thank you, dear. Absolute madness, this country,” huffed her mother, dusting herself off once she was in an upright position. “I’ve had my personal space invaded well over my usual limit.”
Leila Norling was of Egyptian heritage and most likely accountable for the majority of Zephora’s exotic features. She had light olive skin, a thick, black bundle of hair and enormous green eyes that were, at that very moment, scanning the crowds of people in search of her husband.
“Rufus!” she called out, her hands swiftly moving to their accustomed place on her hips. She sighed and turned to her daughter. “That man has a penchant for getting himself lost, I’m telling you.”"
---
So, pleeease tell me your opinions regarding characterisation, dialogue, vocabulary, descriptions, believability etc. etc.
And if you have any suggestions to substitute for poorly-written sections, please do not hold back :)!
(If it matters at all, I am currently one month short of 15.)
Thanks for all the answers so far! -- Yes, the Polish potato farmer was a quick little insertion that I must agree, doesn't really work too well. And the whole Japanese tourist thing -- I've edited it now anyway, to a more fitting occurance :)
I live in Adelaide, and yes, Zephora is not a common Australian name -- But there really are no common Aussie names, taking into account the multiculturalism. I believe I mentioned Zephora's mother was Egyptian? The name "Zephora" is of Egyptian origin, do you think maybe I should mention that in the description? Like, "Leila Norling was of Egyptian heritage and most likely accountable for the majority of Zephora’s exotic features, as well as her unusual first name."
Thanks so much!
I'm having my 23rd bday party here in one of their No Tell Rooms. I'm expecting to have about 20 people show up. Is the management picky? Is there a back entrance to the hotel? Someone told me this place is good for parties, but I'm starting to rethink my decision! Please give me your input! The party is coming up VERY SOON!
I'm a midwest farmer's daughter...
Well, I am a postman in a rural area, so I do my round by motorbike. However, since my motorbike broke down, I did it by bicycle. It was raining and it is quite a heavy round to do with a bicycle.
I was going to a farmstead where I had a package for, and normally the farmer himself comes to me and we talk a bit but this time it was his daughter. She asked how it was and I told her I had a shitty day and that I was very tired, the normal things. I gave her the package and off I went.
Yesterday, the farmer himself came back out, as usual, but the daughter was inside and was constantly looking at me I think. Did I do anything wrong or so?
One of my friends(say name is Maya) who is married some 6 to 7 years back is having a child of 4 years. Even today she is not happy and the behaviour of her husband and his family members.
She lost his father in the year 2002 due to road accident. Now She has her mother and younger sister. After this tragedy, her paternal relatives didn't give any mental support to them and broke all the relations with them. Whatever support and help they could get were from maternal relatives ie Mamas etc.
During that time panditji (brahmin) told her mother and her Mamas, grand mother that, "if any boy or girl has attained the age of marriage, it must be done within that year itself , between the day when the family member expires and the day when the Shraadh is scheduled. Otherwise, for next 3 years no marriage can be done". So keeping this in mind they decided to perform the marriage ceremony of Maya. She was not at all willing to marry hastily. She wanted some time. But nobody listened to her. As per the traditions, the boy and all his relatives came to see her. They gave positive response. And after some 2 to 3 months she got married with that boy. She was totally confused and was not able to come up from the shock she suffered as she had lost her father. My friend, look wise is little bit dark, short heighted (5ft) but she is an graduate engineer. The boy to whom she got married is having fair complexion but having salary of Rs.5000/- only per month in city like Pune. His parents' financial background too was not that good. They are farmers. But Maya's father was General Manager cum Mech.Engineer. Their financial condition was stable and standard of living too was high. ( not like the boy's one). But even then she was compelled to marry that boy only, because they told her that after the death of your father , you don't have that status nor prestige of living, now you are ordinary persons and you too are not good looking (neither you are fair looking nor you have good looks). You cannot get boys of good standard etc etc....
The day when both tied the knot proved to be the heaps of problems and harassment for her. He and his family members (Father,Mother and his sisters) started her torturing mentally.
They use to insult her mother (even today they do so, what the problem do they have with her really don't know) and
from the day one of marriage till today they have done unlimited dramas to harass her and his mother just to have all the property of theirs in their name. They don't demend for it directly but all the tortures and harassments done on her and the mother is just for this reason only. Moreover the culture of both families differ a lot. Her husband and her in laws have uncivilized behaviour. She protested all such things and one day (in 2006) she had to lodge FIR against her husband. She thought that after doing FIR her relationship will end with her husband. But he still showed the willingness to keep the relation of husband and wife with her. After that he pretended to live happily with her but in actual he still had some problems with her mother. It comes to surface some way or other.
Her mother gifted a 2BHK Flat in 2004 to her daughter(in her name) so that no problems should arise as she was completely aware of these people. They wanted to have her husband's name too in that property that time. They said it openly that time.But today they deny this. Having the salary of 5000Rs. per month in 2003, today he has the package of 7.5lacs per annum. When they got married his salary was not at all sufficient to take care of 2 persons in Pune. Even then her sister in law demanded for money from them. Eventually his salary raised to a pretty amount. Then her husband didn't take care of her financially. He said do it for yourself. That time he lived in the flat which was in her name. Today he has purchased another flat on loan. The EMI is 35000/- per month. Now he pressurizes her to live in this flat. What should she do? As this is not a normal case, is it proper to take the decision of living in that flat? At this stage She feels like leaving all the rights on her property and also to leave her husband once for all. She thinks that she must go to live in Mahila Ashram or on PG Basis.
The married life of Maya is not good. There are ripples always either created by her husband or in laws.She has come to the opinion that she cannot live anymore with him but the problem is that she is having a 4 yr child.To tell about the understanding,there is no mutual understanding between them because he is completely under his elder sister and his parents. According to them as she is so called 'BAHU' so she only should listen to what they say and what they desire. As per them she has no right to express anything what she feels. and according to Hindu Samaj a wife must remain at the feet of her husband. He discusses all his financial things like his salary, his plans everything with his sister just from the day of marriage itself till now. He expects that she should dance at the tip of his fingers.She feels insecured to go with him at his new flat because he may trouble her for paying the loan amount sanctioned by him in future.She has variety of bad experiences in these 7yrs
If any experienced lawyer goes through the matter, Kindly guide us .

Asalam walaikum ,
t was early in the morning at four,
When death knocked upon a bedroom door,
Who is there? The sleeping one cried.
I'm Malkul Mawt, let me inside.
At once, the man began to shiver,
As one sweating in deadly fever,
He shouted to his sleeping wife,
Don't let him take away my life.
Please go away, O Angel of Death!
Leave me alone; I'm not ready yet.
My family on me depends,
Give me a chance, O please prepense!
The angel knocked again and again,
Friend! I 'll=2 0take your life without a pain,
Tis your soul Allah requires,
I come not with my own desire.
Bewildered, the man began to cry,
O Angel I'm so afraid to die,
I'll give you gold and be your
slave,
Don't send me to the unlit grave.
Let me in, O Friend! The Angel said,
Open the door; get up from your bed,
If you do not allow me in,
I20will walk through it, like a Jinn.
The man held a gun in his right hand,
Ready to defy the Angel's stand.
I'll point my gun, towards your head,
You dare come in; I'll shoot you dead.
By now the Angel was in the room,
Saying, O Friend! Prepare for you doom.
Foolish man, Angels never die,
Put down your gun and do not sigh.
Why are you afraid! Tell me O man,
To die a ccording to Allah's plan?
Come smile at me, do not be grim,
Be Happy to return to Him.
O Angel! I bow my head in shame,
I had no time to take Allah's Name.
From morning till dusk, I made my wealth,
Not even caring for my health.
Allah's command I never obeyed,
Nor five times a day I ever
prayed.
A Ramadan came and a Ramadan went,
But no time had I to repent.
The Hajj was already FARD on me,
But I would not part with my money.
All charities I did ignore,
Taking usury more and more.
Sometimes I sipped my favorite wine,
With flirting women I sat to dine.
O Angel! I appeal to you,
Spare my life for a year or two.
The Laws of Quran I will obey,
I'll begin SALAT this very day.
My Fast and Hajj, I will complete,
And keep away from self-conceit.
I will refrain from usury,
And give all my wealth to charity,
Wi ne and wenches I will detest
,
Allah's oneness I will attest.
We Angels do what Allah demands,
We cannot go against His commands.
Death is ordained for everyone,
Father, mother, daughter or son.
I'm afraid this moment is your last,
Now be reminded, of your past,
I
do understand your fears,
But it is now too late for tears.
You lived in this world, two score and more,
Never did you, your people adore.
Your parents, you did not obey,
Hungry beggars, you turned away.
Your two ill-gotten, female offspring,
In nightclubs, for livelihood they sing.
Instead of making more Muslims,
You made your children non-Muslims.
You ignored the Mua'dhin Adhaan,
Nor did you read the Holy Quran.
Breaking promises all your life,
Backbiting friends, and causing strife.
From hoarded goods, great profits you made,
And your poor workers, you underpaid.
Horses and cards were your leisure,
Moneymak ing was your pleasure.
You ate vitamins and grew more fat,
With the very sick, you never sat.
A pint of blood you never gave,
Which could a little baby save?
O Human, you have done enough
wrong,
You bought good properties for a song.
When the farmers appealed to you,
You did not have mercy, tis true.
Paradise for you? I cannot tell,
Undoubted ly you will dwell in hell.
There is no time for you to repent,
I'
ll take your soul for which I am sent.
The ending however, is very sad,
Eventually the man became mad
With a cry, he jumped out of bed,
And suddenly, he fell down dead.
O Reader! Take moral from here,
You never know, your end may be near
Change your living and make amends
For heaven, on your deeds depends.
If this poem inspires you,
It can help someone too.

The blood slides down her steamy face,
Her hands on the ground, disconnected,
She screams in hell’s terror,
She cries for the prodigious circumstances,
The man laughs at her foolishness,
He enjoys her growing misery,
He makes another cut in her arm,
And cracks into hysterical laughs,
“Thou shall be honored that you are being killed by me,”
He whispers to her,
“Don’t you see eldest daughter, how much of a honor,
How much joy, I’m giving you?”
He whacks her on the head and she falls,
“Answer me you ungrateful bastard,”
He screams,
She looks up at him though the smoking grass,
And nods her head slightly,
“Ah my daughter, how much of a soulless monster are you?”
She cries harder, blood gushing from her wrist,
She wishes that she never done it,
Never defied Father,
“This would of have never happened if you kept your hands to yourself,
Not on a ungrateful sheep farmer!”
He said turbulently,
He picked his sword of the ground,
Kissed the top of it and threw it,
Threw it into his daughters neck,
He smiled at the silence,
“Ah my daughter, I hope you find happiness in hell’s flames.”

A car took a red light and hit a car and that car spun and hit me. The girl that ran the red light totaled her car and the car she hit. I only have front end damage ( I have a 97 Infiniti). I got a call from her insurance (Farmers Insurance) and they told me to get an estimate. I took it to two different body shops and they both estimated over 2500.00 in damages. The estimate doesn't include the car seat that also needs to be replaced (I had my 2 year old daughter in the car when I was hit) So I call Farmers Ins and they told me I have to take it in to one of their people to take a look at it. What is going to happen?
I can't remember the name about this one cartoon movie about a family a mice and they have to leave their home for some reason...at one point the mom and dad and i think the daughter get trapped in the basement and get gassed. The son survives and has to travel alone. He tried to help them but he couldn't get the window opened. It was the farmer's house i think.
Once there were two farmers. One had a daughter and the other had a son. When thier kids were teenagers they started dating, and the two farners encouraged it. One day the girl's father went over to the other farmer's house and said that he didn't want thier children dating anymore. The boy's father asked, "Why not?"
The other farmer said, "Come here and I'll show you." In his yard was the girl's name written in pee in the snow.
The boy's father said, "Oh, come on, that's just boy stuff."
The other farmer said, "You think I dont' know my own daughter's handwriting
it's about a white woman, who is the daughter of a farmer, who is also the leader of the village. the girl falls in forbidden love with their black slave. the village finds out about their relationship and the slave is killed by the villagers, then the girl kills herself because she can't live without him. good plot, i know;)

"Yes," the class said. "Then why is it that while I'm standing upright
in the ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my feet?"
A little fellow shouted, "Cause your feet aren't empty!".
17. A couple had two little boys ages 8 and 10, who were EXTREMLY mischievous. They were always getting into trouble and their parents knew that if any mischief occurred in their town, their sons would get the blame.
The boys' mother heard that a clergyman in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak
with her boys. The clergyman agreed, and asked to see them individually.
So, the mother sent her 8-year-old first, in the morning, with the older boy to see the clergyman in the afternoon.
The clergyman, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly, "Where is God?" They boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there with his mouth hanging open.
The clergyman repeated the question. "Where is God?" Again, the boy
made no attempt to answer. So the clergyman raised his voice some more and
shook his finger in the boy's face and bellowed. "Where is God!?"
The boy screamed and bolted from the room. He ran directly home and dove
into his closet, slamming the door behind him. When his older brother found him
in the closet, he asked, "What happened?" The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, "We are in big trouble this time! God is missing and they think we did it!".
18.There was a farmer who grew watermelons. He was doing pretty well,
but he was disturbed by some local kids who would sneak into his water
melon patch at night and eat his watermelons. After some careful thought,
he came up with a clever idea that he thought would scare the kids away for sure.
He made up a sign and posted it in the field. The next day,
the kids show up and they saw the sign which read,
"Warning! One of the watermelons in this field has been injected with cyanide."
The kids ran off, made up their own sign and posted it next to the farmer's sign.
When the farmer returned, he surveyed the field. He noticed that no watermelons
are missing, but the sign next to his read, "Now there are two!!!".

"Where can I buy one?" he is asked.
Well, I just happened to have one for 100 dollars he says.
"I'll take him," says the other man as he counts out the money.
I can't bring him over today. I don't work on Sunday morrow OK?
"Sure."
The next day the truck pulls up and the old farmer gets out. He says, "sorry, bad news."
I went out after breakfeast and the mule was dead.
The city feller says just give me my money back then.
"Can't, spent it already!"
"Well... unload the mule then."
"What ya gonna do with him?"
"Raffle him off!"
"Naw, ya cant raffle off a dead mule!"
"Just watch me us! City fellers know a few tricks."

Visiting a rural farm
Rush Limbaugh and his chauffeur were out driving in the country and accidentally hit and killed a pig that had wandered out on a country road. Limbaugh told the chauffeur to drive up to the farm and apologize to the farmer.
They drove up to the farm, the chauffeur got out and knocked on the front door and was let in. He was in there for what seemed like hours. When the chauffeur came out, Limbaugh was confused about why his driver had been in there so long.
"Well, first the farmer shook my hand, then he offered me a beer, then his wife brought me some cookies, and his daughter showered me with kisses." explained the driver.
"What did you tell the farmer?" Limbaugh asked.
The chauffeur replied, "I told him I was Rush Limbaugh's driver and I'd just killed the pig.

Very hostile farmer
A farmer and his brand new bride were riding home from the chapel in a wagon pulled by a team of horses, when the older horse stumbled.
The farmer said, "That's once."
A little further along, the poor old horse stumbled again.
The farmer said, "That's twice."
After a little, while the poor old horse stumbled again.
The farmer didn't say anything, but reached under the seat, pulled out a shotgun and shot the horse.
His brand new bride yelled, telling him, "That was an awful thing to do."
The farmer said, "That's once."
-----
Texan farmer travels
A Texan farmer goes to Australia for a vacation. There he meets an Aussie farmer and gets talking. The Aussie shows off his big wheat field and the Texan says, "Oh! We have wheat fields that are at least twice as large".
Then they walk around the ranch a little and the Aussie shows off his herd of cattle. The Texan immediately says, " We have longhorns that are at least twice as large as your cows".
The conversation has, meanwhile, almost died when the Texan sees a herd of kangaroos hopping through the field. He asks, "And what are those"?
The Aussie asks with an incredulous look, "Don't you have any grasshoppers in Texas"?
This reminds me of the way you write sometimes BG, so I thought I'd share them for a few laughs! Enjoy!
The Farmers Daughter by Robert Service
The Rector met a little lass
Who led a heifer by a rope.
Said he: "Why don't you go to Mass?
Do you not want to please the Pope?"
The village maiden made reply,
As on the rope she ceased to pull:
"My father said this morning I
Must take Paquerette to see the bull."
The Rector frowned. ";Tis wrong, I wist
To leave your prayer-book on the shelf.
Your father has a stronger wrist;
Why can't he do the job himself?"
Then lovely in her innocence,
With gaze as pure as meadow pool,
The maid spoke in her sire's defense:
"But Daddy, please your Reverence,
Would rather leave it to the bull."
The Haggis by Robert Service
Said Jock to Jean: "Whit did ye do
Wi' yon wee haggis, plump an' grey,
I carried home for me and you
To cheer our hearts on Hogmanay?"
Said Jean to Jock: "I didna' ken
It was a haggis - In ma doot
I gazed an ' gazed at it, and then
I took the tongs an' threw it oot.
"Ye shoulda' telt me. When you bought
It in the cat came at the run,
An' sniffed at it - I think she thought
'Twas something naughty she had doen.
"Poor Puss! Wi' shame she looked at me,
An' did the best that she was able
To cover it . . . Jist look how she
Scratched a' the varnish aff the table!"
So, my mom bought this hideous dress, but its very comfortable. But it seems that my mom has no taste in clothes. So, I thought maybe I can make good use of it, since I'm not ever going to wear it, why not wear it for halloween. Not doing this to make fun of my mom's taste in clothes. :P
Its kind of big on me since I'm very skinny, its brown, it has weird swirly designs, looks new but something a little farmer's daughter from medieval times would wear. What could I be??? I was thinking of tree, but uhhh.....
A census taker arrived at a farm house to find out how many people lived there. The farmer said he had three daughters. "What are the ages of your daughters?" asked the census taker.
The farmer responded, "The product of their ages is 72, and the sum of their ages is the house number."
The census taker could not solve this riddle. He needed more information. The farmer then said, "The oldest loves chocolate"
What are the ages of the 3 daughters?
This isn't a joke but its really hard and I don't know the answer and I need it for math class tomorrow!! :)
I know it is kinda early, but I have to start thinking about it now so I can decide on the right one and find the funds for it. I am looking for a theme of costumes for my family. It is my husband and myself, my 5 year old daughter , 3 year old son, and 18 month old son. We have already been the Peter Pan group and farmers with farm animals. Please help with unique ideas!
All i know about the movie is that they're car gets destroyed on a bridge, and they end up walking through a cornfield where a farmer meets them face to face with a gun.
