I was reading Le Miserables, and was wondering what Cosette means. I can't find a translation. The closest thing I can get is little thing. In Spanish cosa means thing. Cosita means little thing. So it should sound similar to that in French.

Any ideas?

Rummaging through some of my father's old books, I found an old copy of Robinson Crusoe that once belonged to my Great-Great Grandfather. This is an awesome find. The book is kind of beat up. It must be pre- 1930's. After opening the book I found that the first 14 pages are gone. Bummer! I want to restore this book. In order to do that I need the first 14 pages. I need to find a copy of Robinson Crusoe (1030's edition) Appletons publishers.

What can I do to find a copy of this book?

I already checked e-bay and amazon...nothing.

Cleaning out my mom's garage we found cans of powdered milk. It dates from 1996. I know that it probably won't be any good to drink, but can that milk be used in recipes? What can be done with it?

I just don't want to throw away all that food.

Thanks everyone!

Thanks!!

I have two 1942 editions of Lloyd C. Douglas' The Robe. One is in fantastic shape, looks new, the other one is a little beat up. Both have the dust covers. The copyright inside both books say 1942 (the year the book was originally printed). However the dust covers are different. Both books are book club editions. The nicer book says that the book has been read by millions all over the world. The beat up one just lightly discusses the book.

In some older books it will state which re-printing the book came from,(even within the same year) these do not. Where can I look to see which book is older? In the end, to find out which book is more valuable.

By the way, The Robe is an awesome book, one of the best I have ever read, and I read a LOT.

Thanks for all of your help.

In the episode D.O.C. the guys find a woman who parachuted in and supposedly punctured a lung... when it gets fixed the one eyed Russian tells them it will take a day for her to get better. In an earlier episode Sawyer gets shot in the shoulder and he almost dies. Later Jack fixes him, but he is out for a couple of days. ummm why is his shoulder wound worse than a punctured lung. Also when Said beats up Ben, why does Ben keep the scars for weeks and weeks?
