Question #2:

PLZ HELP ME WHAT DO YOU THINK?

*SOME PEOPLE SAY ITS REALLY BAD BE AS HARSH AS YOU WANT*

Prologue

The morning sun broke through the mountain landscape. The birds sang a merry rhyme as the flowers rose toward the sun. The winter frost was gone, replaced by the awaking of spring.
Deep in the Pindus Mountains was a little stone cottage where a little girl called Lolita lived with her grandfather. The little girl sat in the library. The library in fact was not at all as grand as it sounded. Dust covered each and every furniture like a blanket of snow in a winter morning. A damp smell hung in the air and limited windows forced Lolita to carry a lamp.
She opened her book of the world outside. As she read about Greece she could smell the rich smoky air and hear the bustling of the crowded street. She also read about the great heroes of the wars.
A pang of pain made her wince as it reminded her of her parent’s death. Her parents had died in a raid in a village far away. Lolita and her grandfather rarely ever spoke of her parent’s death. She had been a little child when she was left in his care after their death.
Before her dear grandfather soul left to Hades’ he was able to tell her something. Something that changed many lives in the greatest war the world had ever seen.

Chapter 1

Bitter tears strolled along her cheek and dripped of her face leaving marks upon her grandfather’s shirt. Her heart felt like it was sinking into her body and her blood pounded all over her body. Her pale skin was flushed and her eyes were red from crying.
Then after all the sorrow was wept out of her anger raged inside of her. How could he not tell her! She had a brother! Her tiny fist slammed against the oak floors and her amber hair fell over her face. She ignored the pain flaring in her fist.
She had to find her grandfather’s letter! It was garrenteed to be somewhere. As she calmed her mind down her mind clicked. Of course the only place he would hide it. She ran up the stairs the floors creaking under her in encouragement. She busted into his bedroom, opened her grandmother’s flower jewellery box. And there it was. The yellow page letter written in the same italic writing of her grandfather. She sat on the bed and opened up the envelope.

Dear Lolita

Due to you reading this letter I assume I have passed from this world into Hades’s domain. I want you to know that you are one of the few people I have been open up my heart to and love. I remember the smile the first time I looked upon you. The pleasure it gave me to see you walk on the solid oak floors with certainty. And I will always remember the love you showed me every morning as I woke up to the smell of you cooking. And I want you to know that I love you in this life and the next.
Though my heart is paining so much on the aspect on what I am going to write you must know the truth. Your dear brother is alive. I thought they were all dead but word came from Greece of a boy named Patroklos. A boy adopted by two loving people and rose until they died in a tragic accident. He was then looked after by someone called Achilles. A boy with the green eyes of your father and the brown hair of your mother. I knew then. I could not tell you. You were too young and then the time never came.
My dying wish is for you to look for him. Look for him and unite with your long lost brother. For my sake do so.

Everlasting love
Ajax

Lolita eyes stared open in shock and the letter slipped out of her hands. Her face gleamed with sweat. What would she do? She knew what needed to be done inside of her but could she. A gleam of determination gleamed in her eyes, I will find Patroklos. She vowed for her grandfather. I will!
She packed her clothes and mounted her black horse Midnight. Suddenly a great wave of pain came across her she rested her head against the soft warm mane and stroked the flanks of the horse. She stared into the trees of the forest. I will find you she whispered into the darkness of the woods and rode of.

*SOZZ I KNOW ITS REALLY LONG BUT THANX!!!!!*

Chapter 2
Grey clouds rolled into the sky and she looked up with dismay. She was young but even she was old enough at that age to know a storm was coming. A big one of that. Lolita sat under the trees thinking of suitable possibilities. She could not stay in the forest. No, there were too many trees. She had to find shelter. She mounted the great black stallion and rode of down the path.
Rain dribbled from the heavy grey clouds. Before she knew it lightening flashed around her. The seductive whispering of the wind urged her to sleep. She knew she could not. To sleep in such a time would be suicide. She clinged on to her unstable mount. The stallion was young and nervous and jumped at every site. The muddy path was a danger in it self.
She leaned forward and put her forehead upon the black mane trying to clear the fogginess in her mind. Lightening struck a tree nearby. The nervous black stallion reared up leaving Lolita on the muddy ground and then bolted into the nearby tree.

Question #5:

I need help/ideas on how to decorate my bedroom with a Parisian theme.?

Okay so I had a wicked cool theme for my dorm room and I would like to now transfer my ideas to my bedroom. However I have absolutely no idea how to paint my walls. My bedroom furniture is a dark oak and iron victorian/whimsical set. I already have black and white photos of the eiffel tower, and other chic black and white photos. I plan on purchasing black and white bedding with some sort of paisley or chandelier print with pink accents. I do not want it to look childish but I somehow want to incorporate black and white with pink accenting. My ceilings are low and I do not have much wall space. Any ideas?

Question #6:

Paint Walls with this Collection?

Click Here :*:IE-SearchBox%26rlz%3D1I7ADBF%26sa%3DG%26um%3D1

I got the whole set including drapes. I can't really do the gold walls as shown as my adjoining hall and living area are already that color. I am worried about pinks and mauves but love green. What do you think about picking up on the darker green leaves? It a master suite and all the furniture is medium warm oak. My trim and doors are a warm ivory painted. It will be alot of green but seeing green is calming would it look its best being the contrast of two different greens?

Question #7:

Furniture item. How do you know if its made of Oak Wood Timber?

IOW how do you identify Oak from other timbers.

Question #8:

Accessories to re design my living room?

Hello, I really want to update my living room. I live in an Army quarter so I'm limited on what I can do. I don't really want to paint cause I'll have to paint it back when I leave. In my living room at the moment I have a brown leather sofa with all oak furniture. The walls are magnolia (lovely eh lol) and the carpet is like a pinky plum colour (I know, even nicer eh) Anyway, I really wanted some nice accessories in a different colour other than brown (as I have loads of brown at the moment) I wanted something modern. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Question #9:

Has Bob Ainsworth no shame?

Our troops have been sent on active duty with absolutely rubbish equipment whilst the armed forces minister Mr. Ainsworth sits very cosily in his different flipping homes. May 2005 - April 2007 He had claimed a total of £19,920 for doing up his second home including putting in oak beams, creating a brick fireplace and getting part of the cost of his furniture, £45.00 per month on DRY CLEANING BILLS + £400 per month for FOOD!
2007 - 2008 he was the joint highest expenses claimant having flipped the second home to a first and having a 'new' second home in London which set the taxpayers back a further £23,083.00.
Is there any wonder we don't have any money for the bare necessities for our troops?
Bg River, that's just totally untrue and unfair, those who answer my questions and read my answers will agree that i have been very even handed with brickbats. The moat man, the garden men, the family occupied 2nd home men, they've all had a wallop from me as well as the labour and lib dem lot. Corruption is corruption irrespective of parties and it's not tolerable. The day i had a go about Camerons wisteria i also had a go about Browns house cleaning bills - that lady certainly earns a lot of money for very few hours work, wonder why?

Question #10:

Should the stain color in your hardwood floor match the stain color in furniture?

I have light oak dining room furniture and will soon be putting in hardwood flooring. Does the color in each, have to match or should they contrast with one another?

Question #11:

How do I choose a color of wood floor that won't clash with my wood furniture?

Is there any way to match one type or stain of wood with another that compliments each other? I have red oak furniture with a dark reddish stain.

Question #12:

Is it possible to get water marks out of an oak effect table?

I live in a rented flat, and had my fish tank on the oak effect dining table. Moving the fish tank however I have noticed a dark stain left where the tank was - I imagine this is a water mark. Is there a way of removing this or is it stained for forever?

I had a sheet of polystyrene underneath the fish tank, and have never had previous furniture stained by the tank so not sure why it stained this time (maybe it is something to do with the wood only be oak effect rather than solid).
