sighs... it can work, it does work, it is working... not only would I consider doing it again, I have friends who are still together, and it's still working very well for them oddly I found that it was easier than a typical relationship, once we settled in past the honeymoon stage that is -- but the trick is open communication (isn't that the trick with all relationships though?) just thnk of it like this.. instead of HALF the household chores you are only responsible for a THIRD (that alone sweetens the pot!) bah this is probably TMI for most of you...

um.. it really depends on what you want it for... we have both here.. the psp has more functions (according to my son) as that it can access the internet and play music / movies as well as games... so, my advice? unless the children are really wanting to play head to head, why not one of each?

considering a lot of factors, I think that authors have the right to make these decisions. MIA is not an excuse to infringe upon copyrights (which last an awful long time AFTER a person is declared deceased) Usually the author has discussed it with someone, or left instructions, wishes, or other communication of their wishes. In the event of a sudden death, I feel it is up to the holder of those works to decide what to do with them whether it be the family or a publishing house. Also, depending on the circumstances of the works... some things just do not need completion. Sure there will be some readers who bitch about it (whiners all!) but if it's not finished, well it's not. However, there are also some things that do need to be finished (the exmaple of the Wheel of Time for example). The work will not be the same, but it can be similar, and sometimes that will just have to suffice.

what's funny is a simple court document could have saved all this trouble... the termination of parental rights... then he could not have sued for cutstody, they would not have feared it and moved across the country, and they could not have ever gotten any child support from him. I'm glad I have one.... er four.

snickers.. I was gonna try the best buy one this year... for the $200 computer... but a friend of mine drove by at 11 pm on Thursday and said the line was already horrible... people in tents! outside and someone was stealing power from the bank (next door) to power the portable dish in the parking lot... there were extension cords everywhere! All for an item where they were only guaranteed to have fifteen in stock!

whooot! 99 to go for anudder hundred!

Lugh does the happy naked pagan snoopy dance cause he broke 5k today! (10% done!)

...grins toothily... speak for yourself! and now we can't get you to shut up! Sheesh give a guy a log-on and see what happens! ...wonders what is this herd thing he keeps hearing about.... baaa

meh it either is-land or is-water.... I thought they defined island by how they were formed? Hum more interesting geography/geology to bore DC with!

another day another post nano T-5 and counting

That is just crazy!

well, if it doesn't have to be ON campus -- lasertag or paintball are always favorites. If it does -- does your campus have a bowling alley? (ours had a 4 lane one) or maybe you can find out what you need to do to get the pool for a couple hours? a volleyball game in the gym (or the quad)... lots of possibilities.

whoo hooo 100!!!

Could it be DayLight Savings Time? anyway... a non-goat joke (as told by a 12 year old!): A boy and a girl have had lunch together every school day since kindergarten. They always have chicken salad sandwiches. Then one day in middle school the girl comes in with a peanut butter sandwich. The boy asks her why she's not having chicken salad. She blushes slightly and informs him that she could not have chicken salad any more because she's begun to grow feathers. The school year passes and one day the boy comes in with a peanut butter sandwich. The girl smiles at him. He blushes and tells her he has begun to grow feathers too. She wants to see, so they arrange to meet later to have a look. When they get together she agrees to let him see her feathers first, then she takes a look at his. She gasps and punches him in the arm, exclaiming: "You got the gizzard and liver too!"

I'm with ya Graeme... totally CW no matter how I look at her -- or how long.

herm... is there a such thing as goat pox?

peeking in to do his part!

First I'd like to say I did not vote. Mainly because at this point, what I want (or don't want) is a moot point. In my opinion, sexuality is something a child comes with, the same as gender, and while I may have at one point had a preference, I can honestly say both genders have their own particularities as do all the shades of sexuality. Would I have prefered him to be gay at one point? Honestly the thought terrified me. Especially when I would go into the preschool and see him dressed up as a fairy princess -- tierra, wand, and wings! But I never told him it was 'wrong', I didn't hand him a football and tell him to 'be a man'. I just accepted the fact he wanted to be a fairy princess at that point in his life and moved on. Luckily he outgrew it, but would I love him any less if he had not? No, I can honestly say I would not. So does his sexuality matter? Only to him. As many of you know my son is 12 (and that all important half) and he came out to me as heterosexual. He has a girlfriend and we are wading through muddy waters together as we always have. Am I relieved? No, I'm not. Again I'm terrified, but I have learned that being terrified is actually a very healthy part of being a parent. I hope this makes sense... Lugh

honestly you don't need to refute it... just edit the dang thing... I saw 3 grammar errors in the first paragraph! Obviously this isn't the rantings of an educated individual.

a-hem... in a couple days check your mail luv ya bud

Belgium for Sale.... well, I thought it was funny...

herm.... I don't have a particular favorite "form" of magic, but there are a few things that I look for in a good, working magical system. First, there must be a system of checks and balances -- energy isn't free and magic is another form of energy (imho). Second, there must be some form of personal cost to using magic which should be high enough to make people consider the consequences and to keep "just anybody" from running willy-nilly about casting spells (or what-not). Third, there must be rules, even when it is granted by the gods, bought with the blood of ten thousand virgins, or whatever. Finally, it must be consistant. If mage A can not do a thing because it is against the rules of magic, then 100 pages later I do not want to see Mage B doing it. One thing that really aggravates me though is when there is one person in all the world who has (nearly) all the magical gifts of that world and this has never happened before (either by incident or accident) so it must be ordained by the god(desse)s, YET there is a big-bad-guy that (s)he alone must face because (s)he is the only one in the world powerful enough to defeat him.

what i want to know is --- does it really matter?' I mean we all know that color and colour both MEAN the same thing... Honestly I think that if the story is "American" then use color, if it is "any-of-the-other-countries-that-speak-English-other-than-American" then use "colour".

You guys... (and gals).. these are sooooo funny.... see why don't you see stories like this on ER?

ah what the heck! HAPPY BIRTHDAY / INDEPENDENCE! whooo hooooo
