Are you good at remembering movies? Then see if you remember this?
There were twins, a boy and girl, and they were separated at birth and found eachother when they were older (in their teens). They had this way to communicate by making a fist and blowing through it, like a whistle noise. I think there was this light that came down from the sky. Oh and I think the boy might’ve been locked up or something and the girl had to find him and she found him by hearing his whistle noise.

I was really young when I saw it, so it’s probably from the 90s or 80s.
I’m 17 btw.

Oh and it’s not escape to witch mountain or return from witch mountain
Also, it wasn’t a "magical" movie so they didn’t have magical powers


Don’t confuse yourself, kiddo!

You are saying they had this way to communicate by making a fist and blowing through it, and yet they had no magical power? I am quite certain the movie you are talking about is definitely based on the novel "Escape to Witch Mountain" by Alexander Key.

Both the brother and sister have moderate paranormal abilities. The brother can only send messages (communicate) normally, although the sister can both speak and also communicate via ultrasonic speech audible only to her brother and others of their kind.

Now there are several Film Remakes and Adaptations based on this novel. Now you gotta find out which version you are talking about.

1. This is 1975’s film, the original one:

2. and this one is the 1995’s version, made-for-television movie, very loosely based on the novel:

3. This one took place 30 years after the events of the original 1975 film Escape to Witch Mountain:

will missouri extradite for nonsupport charges?
i have a boyfriend, who was recently arrested in ga. the jail said he had no bond because he was being extradited by Jackson co. Missouri…14 hrs away!!! he had informed me that he was slightly behind… so i don’t understand why they would pay so much to extradite on a misdemeanor. I called KC, Missouri and they were where i learned why he was being taken back… but they wouldn’t tell me how much he owed or whether it was a felony or misdemeanor.. i just found out I’m pregnant and would like to know if i should even bother expecting him to be free when the baby is born. It may seem like a dumb question… in all honesty i’m hoping the whole extradition thing is done on misdemeanor nonsupports because of the nature and the whole "enforce child support" rather thn felony because i am stressed and wondering will i really have to do this alone… im pretty sure MO would not pay to come get him if it wasn’t a felony (large amount)… but i am hoping someone knows for sure. Thanks


Non payments of child support is taken very seriously in the courts..for him to be in jail..he owes the mother of the child or children a very large amount, sounds like he has been behind payments for some time now..child support laws are very strict in the US..

Bible! (1974)

IMDB rating: 2.60

Plot: A softcore, adult-oriented version of the tales from the Bible.

Online Movies World

Directors: Poole Wakefield

Actors: White Bo,Horn John,Benes Robert,van Zetten Brahm,Wayne Dennis,Johnson Dan,Schulman Oscar,Fantasy,History,Romance,

I was wondering this morning: when someone rejects the Bible…how do they obey the Bible…?
or is that the point? We are to study to show ourselves approved…take pains to learn what pleases the Lord. If we never open the book…or show any interest…how can we ever please God? Do we make up our own minds about what is good and what is bad? Sounds haphazard to me.
I believe the truth has and is being suppressed…but not aware it has been overcome. Is not believing the truth equivelent to believing a lie, or "the" lie? I do appreciate all your answers…we obviously do not agree down the line…but we are sharing in an open forum.
We obviously analyze the bible much differently…it has fascinated scholars for two millenia now…and still contains mysteries not fully plumbed. It describes the true nature of man, the nature of God…one described it as the "manufacturers handbook". It contains advice for living that has held true since it was first written. It is filled with prose, poetry, and history that has influenced literature, music and science for hundreds of years. Even the lofty field of science…owes it’s exalted position to the assumption that the world is an orderly place. Another biblical notion. Now we are finding out it is less orderly than we ever imagined…which makes it more mystical than ever before…maybe mysterious is the right word?


Morning theft… a pretender left ungrateful.

I flushed the Bible down the toilet… The Bible writers say that only a dog goes back to eat its own vomit!

CANNIBALISM IS ONE OF THE MAJOR THEMES IN THE BIBLE!

The Bible writers claim that the GOD that they put together FORCED the Jews to eat their own children for dinner NOT AS A PUNISHMENT, but as a natural

How can I help my dog and his anxiety?
Ok, well, my dog is in my schools production of the Wizard of Oz as Toto. I’m also in the play. But whenever we try to get him to stay with Dorothy on stage he whines and whines when he can’t see me. I’m not in any scenes with him since he is in the beginning and the end. I don’t know what to do. It was his first day yesterday, could it be nerves? What can I do to make it better?


Have him spend more time with Dorothy. Dorothy needs to feed him some really good treats. Dorothy should have treats on her at all times.

Get him used to the cast when "not working" and get him used to being away from you. Have the others give him snacks and toys, have them distract him from you not being around.

Let him know the others are "good" not "bad".

NHS!! Compensation, medical negligence, after traumatic birth. Nerve Damage.?
Hi everyone! And Merry Christmas!

Im hoping someone can give me some advice!
I gave birth to my son 7 months ago, after a traumatic 3 days later, my son was born!
He was delivered by emergancy Forceps, which left me with a bad cut and many stitches, i also lost alot of blood! And could not walk unaided for 2 weeks, Which meant i missed all those first special days with my son!!

Anyway, During my labour i had an epidural in for 21 hours! Which was topped up alot!! At first it only worked on one side of my body, so i was having really strong contractions on the other side! After 3 top ups it was ok!!

I was advised it would take 6-12 hours to be able to get on my feet as it takes a while for the epidural to die down! 24 Hours later i still couldn’t walk, and had no feeling at all in my right leg! Over the next few days, i deveoped tingling pains in my legs and back! To cut a long story shop i now have constant pins and needles in my hands and feet, severe back and hip pain! Numbness and hardly any feeling in me right leg still!! I get cold feelings pouring down my spine, stabbing pains in my legs and back!
I fall on a daily basis which have gave me black eyes and cuts and bruises, as my legs just go away from me! I still cant go out on my own with my son, incase i fall .. I cant drive anymore!!

I had an emergancy appointment with a neurologist who suggested i had Peripheal Neuropothy, but could not be 100% sure as there was still some symptoms that didnt make sense, and he wanted to do more tests!

Part of me wants to scream about the pain and suffering that im experiencing! But who will listen!

I didn’t sign anything for my epidural which worries me…

Any advice would be appreciated so much!
x


It is possible you gut a nerve damage,

but i heard that a nerve can re-generate itself if the nerve cell is still alive, but it would be good if they determined what exactly happened to your nerve.

i’d do more tests, definitely.

good luck!

IMDB rating: 7.20

Plot: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is the first film in the Harry Potter series based off the novels by J.K. Rowling. It is the tale of Harry Potter, an ordinary 11-year-old boy serving as a sort of slave for his aunt and uncle who learns that he is actually a wizard and has been invited to attend the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry is snatched away from his mundane existence by Hagrid, the grounds keeper for Hogwarts, and quickly thrown into a world completely foreign to both him and the viewer. Famous for an incident that happened at his birth, Harry makes friends easily at his new school. He soon finds, however, that the wizarding world is far more dangerous for him than he would have imagined, and he quickly learns that not all wizards are ones to be trusted.

Do you know any other Harry Potter contradictions?
In Deathly Hallows, it is revealed that James died without being able to reach his wand, Voldemort kills him straightaway

However, in Sorcerer’s Stone, Voldemort says that James put up a courageous fight.
isn’t that contradictory, do you know any other HP contradictions


In the Prisoner of Azkaban, Lupin tells Harry that he knew it was him from the second he [Harry] entered the compartment and he [Lupin] saw his eyes. However, when Harry, Ron, and Hermione first entered the compartment and up until the dementor attack, Lupin was pretending to be asleep, and therefore had his eyes closed.

ImAFrootloopInACheerioWorld2 | Nov 09, 2009


Well, James would certainly be courageous to try to fight Voldemort with his wand out of reach, wouldn’t he?

I know that there are several times that wizards and witches are hit with Disarming spells, but the alliance of their wand does not seem to change… that apparently was only something that was significant for Deathly Hallows

he was courages for trying to save lily and harry without his wand.

idk ay others
love pence bieber | Nov 09, 2009


There are loads, actually.
J.K Rowling is probably more concentrated on getting through the book. I mean, she has other things to worry about, than small, minor mistakes.
That’s for the editor. So really, it’s not her fault.

Those are some faults/contradictions.
