  • When & by whom were "VACATIONS" invented, plz scientific answers ONLY ! THANX !?

    Who "INVENTED" the VACATION ? It goes back a VERRRRRYYY long time,

    I know it does go back eons because for one thing, those who lived in "NOLA" in the early 1700s made sure that they and their families & servants got out of the city b4 the heat, stench, and malaria laden mosquitoes arrived along with summer !!!! I also believe the EGYPTIANS (and other peoples) also did the same thing some 3k to 4k years ago !!!!!!!! Does anyone know with 95% certainty when the very 1st humans began to "go on vacations" ??????? Does it actually go back to the Eygptians ? If so, Was it just the elite or was it the middle & lower-middle classes too who were able to "VACATION" ??????? Can you go into depth about the subject: who did it, when they did it, where they went, how they went, how long they stayed, etc., etc., etc. ?????? PLZ, elaborate with as much as you know on the subject !!! Thanks so much !!!!!!!!!

    Please, site your sources as I'd like to do further reseach also. Thank you, very much (in advance). Sincerely, Barb

  • I love watching actors & mostly forget they are playing a role, but?

    even tho I know it's John Travolta or whomever I can 98% forget that, but as much as I have always wanted to be an actor I always feel like people will laugh at me and not be able to see me as another entity and not as myself. I have always been afraid that since I know I'm not the charactor everyone else wil and will laugh or worse walk out if I was ever to become an actor. Altho I did take an acting class once and most people in the room said they thought I really was a cop and were afraid of me ( I was playing a tough cop).

    Why cant I get past this or how can I get past this fear ??? Thank you !!!

  • What did Attny. Gen. Jay Nixon of MO. do with the $100K he got from his lawsuit against HYDROXYCUT makers ?

    What did Attny. Gen. Jay Nixon of MO. do with the $100K he got from his lawsuit against HYDROXYCUT makers ?

    Did he get the cash himself, if so what did he do with the money? If the state of MO. got the money what did they do with the money ???

    THANK YOU !

    A HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL !!!

    I respectfully request that you refrain from answering this question if you do not know the answer.

    Checking "NON-ANSWERS" takes up valuable time I could be spending with my BROTHER who is DYING OF LUNG CANCER due to CIGARETTE SMOKING since he was a teenager. I begged him to stop 30 years ago, but he said (like all smokers say), "It won't happen to me." -- he was WRONG -- as all smokers are wrong, it's just a matter of time! He is only 43 1/2 !

    I APPRECIATE YOUR REFRAINING FROM ANSWERING UNLESS YOU ACTUALLY KNOW THE ANSWER -- THANK YOU !!!
