He did for most of his 81 years, 34 of them as a congressman representing eastern Massachusetts. This library is named for him because he helped secure funding. Though he died in 1994, he pushed more P than most people would in several lifetimes.

If we’re measuring by sheer numbers, “Is it a hotdog a sandwich?” and “What is the meaning of life?” are certainly two of the biggest. And isn’t that interesting: neither really has an answer.

Es difícil cuando eres introvertida y hablas un idioma diferente. Hay personas que entienden y te pueden ayudar, por ejemplo UCS (bit.ly/BC-counseling), Ofc of Student Involvement (bc.edu/osi, para unir a grupos y conocer a gente) y si eres estudiante internacional, OISS (bit.ly/BCIntStudents.)

I’m sorry you’re suffering heartbreak. It will get better with time. Meanwhile, try to keep busy, especially with friends. Or you could do what The Wood Brothers recommend: Sing About It.

Recognize your capacity to love is boundless. And will eventually focus on others, including yourself.

Thank you! Happy Year of the Tiger to you!

What is the source of your knowledge. I seem to view you as an all-knowing being

Aw, thanks. I am fortunate to live in a top-notch research library, with access to almost all the information available in the world (through BC collections and Interlibrary Loan.) I have the generous help of library staff (special thanks to our brilliant translators!) and staff from other areas at Boston College (and beyond.)  I don’t go it alone.

I would agree not to be haunted by past memories, but I do enjoy revisiting the happy times of the past.

As a Wall, I don’t have an opinion about the death penalty. However, if you are pondering your own viewpoint on the topic, we have a number of books on capital punishment; arguments FOR are in the HV8697s and arguments AGAINST are in the HV8698s. Browse around in O’Neill and probably also the TML.

Thank you! So many pretty birds. Today I’ll say the rainbow lorikeet. bit.ly/bc-birds. Bonus tip: you might enjoy checking out @BirdPerHour on Twitter.

If that’s what you want, then I hope so! The hearts of humans are impenetrable until words are spoken. I hope you find the courage to ask Andrew about his feelings.

? Happy New Year to you as well! ?

新年快乐了! [Happy New Year!]

Happy New Year to you! Happy Year of the Tiger!

新年快乐 万事顺遂！[Happy New Year, All is well!]

That means “I love you” in dinosaur XD

Hello! I’m here. I’m listening….

Any time!

It’s so hard to be away from our special people. Hope you can communicate with them frequently and see them soon.

If you’re cutting, I do recommend getting help, and that’s not because I think it’s morally bad. Developing alternative less harmful coping strategies to dealing with emotional pain can be difficult but ultimately more lasting and effective. Cutting can leave lasting physical impacts in physical or emotional scarring. It can also become addictive as a result of the physical and emotional responses. IOW, it can often dull or distract from emotional pain temporarily… but the pain returns, doesn’t it? And there are other ways to get beyond that pain.

Hmm… If I had a chin, I’d be rubbing it thoughtfully. Meanwhile, I’ve been hearing rumors that a young cousin of mine, the Question Wall, might visit sometime later this spring. Watch this space for developments!
