  1. It sounds like a song that was in Castaway Hotel by our own Bill W. He used a bunch of songs, writing the lyrics, for when they had the valentine parties. Boy on a String

  3. OK, I have Java Runtime 1.1.4. I can't tell if it is on, because it sends me to a web page. I wasn't not able to see the video on the page that told me what version I have. I looked at the downloads to update at this page . I have no idea which one I should download. (I do want a free download.) So, do I need to update? (I don't know how anyone out there can answer this question, but, I am hoping) Boy on a (bunch of tangled) Strings
  4. OK, folks ... I have java ... I think. So, How do I find out if I have it, and if I do, how do I go about enabling it so I can do the live chat? Boy on a String (ps ... I am pretty much a simple minded person (read computer idiot here) so please make any instructions as simple as possible. Thanks)

  16. That is what is I hope all this discussion will do, get people to think. bwstories8, I was not trying to pick on you personally ... if that is how it came accross, then you have my deepest appologies. That is why I didn't mention your name or the story. I do admit, now that I have re-read what I wrote, that I probably could have been more vauge. Again, my appology. Boy on a String
  17. must be why I drink pepsi. actually I drink which ever one is on sale at the supermarket. I should drink more water ... and that could explain a few things about me. How does iced tea fit into this? Boy on a String

  19. I graduated in 1979. In the 80's, I was in the army, and they had manditory classes about hiv/aids, trying to get the facts across. I have also watched 'The Band Played On' (I believe that is the name of the movie). It was about cdc and their fight to recognize aids and delt with shutting down the bath houses in SF. It was an enlightning film. (Alan Alda was in it ... that is the only actor I remember by name.) I remember one of the doctors - he was gay, and caught aids despite using condoms. And I will be the first to admit that it is possible that he got it some other way than sex, and the movie is ambigious about that, but I don't think there is/was any way to find out exactly how he got it. I do remember his ex-boyfriend showing up to help comfort him. And I don't think 'safer' went to 'safe' because people are lazy. I think that happened for a couple of different reasons. One, being, that people were not responding to 'safer' but they did to 'safe'. The second is because of a darker reason ... people didn't care if gays died from this, so it was easier to mislead them/us by calling it 'safe'. Boy on a String And like you, I tend to state things bluntly. If people respond badly, then I don't respond/post about the subject again. I just move on.
  20. Ok, this didn't open the can of worms that I was afraid it was going to. DK, I am glad that you get tested regularly. I am even gladder that you are still negitive. The fact that I sound like a 'Cathlic pamphlet' is beyond bothersom. I am not cathlic. I am concerned about this subject. And I DO NOT have all the answers ... for that matter, I have more questions than answers. I have read many stories online, here, nifty, and other places. A lot of them carry the theme, if you sex, then make sure you are safe, implying the use of a condom will keep you safe. One author here had one of his charactors go to South Americia. He was sent condoms so he could have 'safe' sex. I agree that it starts with education. However I believe that the way we go about it is wrong. It is hard for teen males to open up when the teacher is female ... esp when she is old enough to be your grandmother (as happened to me in 9th grade), not to mention trying to talk/ask questions in front of girls. And would imagine, the same would be true for girls to ask questions if the teacher was male ... and in front of the boys. So would it help to segregate the class ... and have male teachers teach the males and females teach the females? Would that create a more open discussions. And I believe what you said about misconceptions that young people have. They don't have enough information. I do believe in abstanence. I also believe that you should/need to use a condom if you do have sex. It does provide protection. I wish authors could/would be able to express this ... not be at one end - safe sex - or the other end - abstance, but could find a way to express the fact that while condoms help protect, they aren't one hundred percent. The holes I talked about in the condoms were/are microscopic in size. My sister doesn't live in that state anymore, and has a different job now. In the state I live in they are talking about teaching sex education to kindergarteners. And handing out condoms to 2-3 graders. And the last I heard, here, where I live, have sex w/ a condom is called 'SAFE SEX' and will protect you. So, I don't know what to do ... I do know that this subject was started, so I have put in my two cents worth in ... twice, and if nothing else, I hope it will get people thinking. I do think that disscussions like this are important for it causes us to think, and am glad that I wasn't raped for expressing myself. Boy on a String
  21. hey, Myr. It is not your fault. These things happen, and at least they gave you a free month. Boy on a String
  22. Glad to see you here. I do hope you post your stories here, or give us links to where you are posting them. Boy on a String
  23. 1 out of 10 condoms will get a girl pregnent. And you know what is even more frightning than that? My sister used to work for a company that made condoms in Alabama. She told me that - 1 out of 3 condoms have holes big enough to leak the HIV virus ... There is no such thing of 'safe sex'. And I find it disturbing that people ignore this. Even Clinton, when he was President, knew this fact, and yet his administration promoted the idea that condoms made you safe from HIV/AIDS. And a condom will not protect you from anything that will spread through genital contact ... such as the scrotum rubbing against another scrotum or vagina. Thus you have the spread of genital herpies and warts, which can't be cured. I have seen commercials advertising how using there products will delay the cycle of outbreaks. So to tell readers that if you use a condom means that you are safe scares me. Boy on a String
  24. http://tvnz.co.nz/view/news_national_story...0%3Fformat=html Hope he is the one to do it, and that it is as good as LOTR Boy on a String
  25. I was able to add one comment. It showed up as 'visitor's comments 1'. I clicked on it and sure enough ... my comment was there. When I tried to add another comment, I got "Can't save entry into database at the moment. Please retry later!." I have retried several times with different messages. Got the above each time. Suggestion. Put an 'optional' tag under the e-mail address so folks will know that it is not required. If this will be used like I think it will, that will let people know that they don't have to put in their e-mail, so hopefully more people would use it. Boy on a String (Thanks, Myr, for trying your continued improvements.)
