It's a good thing she broke it off with him, then, otherwise their relationship was headed for the "Oprah could put this on her show" bin. Seems she was more upset over not finding anything to prove it than she was over his 'cheating'.

I plan on wearing the "KISS THE COOK" apron and making sure to visit several of my friends...I think I'll start with C.L.L and Arpeggio, then Shadowgod and someone else from back east...I might even break my own rule and find Nephylim, if she goes, when she writes, damn, does she write well! And, YES, the order should be followed, because if this cook has to kiss you--you're gonna stay kissed for a while!

I hate those kinds of schemes...we tried that as part of our business strategy for contract review and legal consultations, but the attorney's never had 'time' to call back, so the plan was discontinued. Funny thing is, they threatened to sue, for breach of contract, but we called it, three attempts and no response in the servicing clause and we were off the hook. So, their followup was lousy, and so was their own contract.

Just remember, watch out for certain goats and racoons...and rather large wild cats posing as Finance Instructors in the midwest.

Allerron, I have been a Pern fan since way back...High School to be exact...I'd start on a hardcover book, and have most of it finished by the end of the day and the other kids would look while I read 'cause I'd turn a page about every 20 seconds...they just couldn't beleive it. I also remember that line....I actually had to put the book down for a little while.

Okay, Myval from the "Last Post #12" thread can make all the coffee, I and someone else can staff the stove and waffle irons (classic, not belgian), and we'll get a nice breakfast going for everyone! (My pancakes and waffels are either from Bisquick, or from Scratch...the pancackes are done in cast iron skillets with bacon grease, or in a non-stick pan with PAM for those that are keeping Kosher, but that means you'll also miss out on bacon and sausage, well--unless you try the turkey bacon and turkey sausage... Who wants to sign-up to staff the omelette (yes, that is the correct spelling) station?

Don't you ever wish you were with someone? Trust me, the reality is better than the dream....

Either way it presents a real dilemma...I'd want to verify the size before getting him a 3XL gift...and then I might not want to get the gift...

Could it be argued that Admiral Wilcox is besmirching the honour of His Majesty's Navy by purposely choosing to make such poor tactical decisions, knowing full well that they were due to a grudge that should have been given up long ago? Something has to give in the story...retiring the admiral might not work, but--what's to say that he chooses to come aboard Belvidera with the captain of his own ship and the other captains? Could those captains do such an act as disposing of the admiral? Then rewrite their logs to refelct that the admiral chose to be on Belvidera and 'ordered' Granger to pursue and engage Floreal alone, resulting in a cannonball to the admiral's head or midsection throwing his body overboard before the other ship came to aid? (Poor unlucky Wilcox, what a way to go...)

Sounds like Stefan & JP!

Ah, a healthy build...

How about something along the line of T-shirts that say, Read XXXXXXX by YYYYYYYYYYY only at http://www.gayauthors.org Where XXXXXXX is a story title, and YYYYYYYYYYY is the Author's ID? (Just print them without underlining the site address, though) And let the purchaser customize with story title, and author name? How much is Chase willing to spend to be with one of us? I want a matched set, how much for XXXXX and YYYYY?

Dargon, IHOP is an American chain of restaurants otherwise known as International House of Pancakes. It's a bit upscaled from what it used to be, but is still the leading chain in terms of sales of Pancakes, flapjacks, or crepes. On edit: I was somewhat remiss is leaving another question--was anyone else as shocked as I was that someone didn't know what IHOP was the abbreviation for?

Also begs the question of whether or not the captain of the admiral's ship might get together with other captains to levy that charge of fitness to command against the adimral. The captain did follow the admiral's orders, which resulted in HIS ship getting rammed, given all other circumstances. Our Capt. Granger, along with others, could levy a second charge based on the admiral's 'tactical' decision to send Granger's ship alone against Floreal, knowing full well of it's superior firepower against Belvidera, this one would not only be fitness to command, but carrying personal grudges into battle situations causing the intentional loss or intentional endangerment of life under your command. While it is not mutinous if there are charges levelled, the most they can do is confine him to quarters and drop him at the next port after filing formal charges with the ranking officer there. But, and I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong--there are enough of you to step up--it would take at least three other admirals to oversee the trial of the admiral. It'll be interesting to see what Mark comes up with now.

You're a smart boy! James, you sound like you've had all kinds of fun!!!

Your potential situation raises some ethical concerns, as well as personal ones...I fell in love with my boyfriend, he gave me a job. A little backwards from your query, hm? But it's worked for almost 20 years, so why should I complain? I would have sex with a potential employer if ONLY if I was ABSOLUTELY assured of getting an awsome job for VERY good pay afterwards. (He'd have to be good looking, though, and really 'talented' in that department.) Would you have sex with a potential employer (assuming my prerequisites were met, above), even if the job was something you didn't really like? (Bear in mind there is a saying, "Find a job you like and you'll never work a day in your life.")

Ran across one of those in the larval stage in the sandbox of the nursery school I was put in as a child...sort of traumatic having a big bug dig its way out of the sand in front of everyone. This was Norco, CA, back in 1964/65, and the only one I've ever heard about out here.

What does one of those look like?

James, before we transferred out of one of our local Elks Lodges, one of the restaurant waitresses actually died that way--her dad fell asleep at the wheel, with her in the car and 2 others, and the other 4 family members came around the bend to this horrific accident between them and a very large truck.

Nightowl, don't think I haven't been reading it too. I'm enjoying it thoroughly!

More like, "It blows!"

I'm from CA too, but the difference is how long it takes to cook them. Instant Grits cook up just like Cream of Wheat instant...regular takes about 20 minutes or so.

Do the closing ceremonies count?

Or more than one tooth.

Cold: Most anything with fruit and honey in it. Hot: Oatmeal with cinnamon, raisins, butter and brown sugar, or raisins and peanut butter, or; Instant Grits with butter and sugar, white or brown, or; Cream of Wheat with butter and sugar, sometimes with cocoa powder, too--the butter and sugar helps with this, and makes what is normally a breakfast cereal a late night dessert.
