    Avoid “Casablanca.” Ingrid Bergman goes off with Paul Henried, and Humphrey Bogart is stuck with Claude Rains…

    Much of Grimm’s Fairy Tales don’t turn out so rosy, either.

    Disney to the rescue! I read most of Andrew Lang’s “Fairy Books of Many Colours”, and grew up with the horrid fascination of the tales – a foal who had his owner kill all the other foals in the field so he could suckle all the dams and grow huge; an illustration of The Black Thief hiding amongst corpses whilst the Giant cut meat off his thigh… among other gruesomeness!

    Its not “being lied to”, its fiction. Of course Gustine could argue that, from a certain point of view, all fiction is nothing but lies that feel true.

    Good thing they read the original :). Should do “the shadow” next of H. C. Andersens stories :p. Just as happy an end as this one.

    Fellow Endtowners, I need to know if there are any Endtowners living in Maine or very close to it

    As much as I hate to be the bearer of bad news while I was at work today Aaron suffered a relapse and was admitted to the ER.His father brought me over to the hospital where he is now in a room being treated with I.V medicines.Fortunately it is not as severe as the last time so we are blessed with that.I can be contacted @blackieflask@hotmail.com if needed more to follow later.Selina

    And “Romeo and Juliet” is so romantic.
