Not every conversation is Shakespeare- especially when the parties are two nervous adolescents with a lot of hormones and questions on their minds. Does he like me? Does he like me like that? Will he out me? Will he destroy my social life and make everyone hate me? Will we make love or will he punch me?[/i] Hell they are lucky they don't scream and run away to hide in the woods. They aren't going to be perfect with their grammar or diction. They'll use the wrong words. They'll laugh inappropriately. They won't know what to say. They'll say and do things that are just plain dumb. They will be awkward. They'll make mistakes. They'll put their foot, boot and all up to the knee, in their mouth. They will crash and burn tragically. Or not. That is the beauty of the game because we all play it, know the stakes and on some level- we have too.

I was just thinking- the last two generations: 60-79, 80-2000 were the first two generations with extremely high divorce rates. At least half of all people now come from a divorced family. This has GOT to be a big influence on how realtionships function- or dysfunction. If you learn growing up that relationships are temporary and that people are disposable, the answer to this riddle is obvious.

I think that many relationships fail because of unrealistic expectations. Women are taught that Prince Charming or Mr. Right is out there waiting for them. Str8 men are looking for a hard drinking oversexed supermodel with no self respect. Gay men are looking for Peter Perfect. Anything less, they are just passing the time with and will discard when Mr/Miss. Right comes along.

who?

Who?

because people are, as a whole, worthless and weak. Not to mention spoiled and self-absorbed. Oh and don't forget: out for #1 not caring who else gets hurt as long as they get what they want.

Ironman In 2531 the galactic survey cruiser Cabot entered CYG 035-4122 on a routine mapping mission. There was absolutely nothing out of the ordinary about the system. CYG 035-4122 was ordinary in all respects with a dwarf star and an average planetary system. It was merely one of thousands charted during the First Galactic Survey. What the Cabot found there would have profound implications for humanity. The Cabot entered the system and began a routine scan of the single class K4 dwarf star, 6 terresterial planets, 5 gas giants and discovered a mysterious energy reading from one of the six moons around the last gas giant. After charting the system, the Cabot approached the "moon" to get more detailed scans. Even from millions of kilometers away, it was obviously very different from the typical icy, rocky moons usually found around gas giant planets. On their approach the science officer first noticed the eccentricity of the orbits of the planets six major moons. He ran some calculations on the mechanics of the moons orbits. The sixty kilometer moon was massive and extremely dense effecting not only the orbits of the moons but the planets orbit around its sun. The Cabot took up a high orbit of the mysterious moon. On the outside it was covered with several meters of hydrogen-methane ices. Just under its icy crust, it was a solid, metallic perfect sphere. It could not be a natural object. The Cabot stayed on station studying the object for a week. Her crew could find no access or portal into what could only be described as a massive structure. The sphere gave up none of its secrets. Frustrated by what the crew knew must be a great oppertunity for discovery, they left a long term monitering satellite and continued their survey. Two standard Later later the sceince ships Niels Bohr arrived at CYG 035-4122 and began a long term study of the object. Eventually a research station was established on one of the other moons of the gas giant. Papers were written, theories were forwarded but the sphere yielded none of its secrets with the exception of one: from its particle emission profile, it could only have a point singularity power source at its core. The object was a gigantic sleeping titan with a beating heart of raw, unlimited power. The object made some people very nervous. In all of the millions of charted star systems in man-kinds ever growing databases, nothing had ever been found even remotely like it. Scientests, the military and corperations throughout the galaxy desired its secrets but no one could could unlock the enigma that the military codenamed Ironman. By 2540 CYG 035-4122 was home to three research stations and was the Galactic Alliance's largest fleet anchorage for 400 light years in any direction. Study of the IronMan became an industry of its own. After years of fruitless study, Ironman became something of a scientific white elephant. Its study was put on the backburner and all but one of the research stations closed. There was talk of closing IronMan Anchorage but there were those in the Admiralty who made keeping their presence in the system a priority. Rumors and legends swirled around Ironman. For decades it was a favorite of tabloids and conspiracy theorists. Every decade or so interest in Ironman was revived in popular culture. It was the topic of numerous holo-books and movies and finally a footnote in the history of the fast growing Alliance that was quickly populating the galaxy.

NOT to flame. It's annoying and it attracts big knuckle dragging rednecks that I have to beat to death if we are to escape and survive.

Check him out at Comedy Central His Creed-o-cide skit is the funniest damned thing since the Crusades

One of the hardest distinctions to make and lessons to learn is when a f*ck is just a f*ck. I know that its difficult but with some guys, that's as deep as it gets. A lot of guys are simply NOT emotionally connected and are not very successful in relationships with women or men. Whether they are emotionally callous that way or all about the orgasms they can and do cause a lot of emotional angst. You just have to deal with them (or not) where they are and not expect a giant emotional revelation from a horn-doggie. So- have a smoke, store it away as a warm fuzzy memory and thank god it wasn't a drunk college chick who will decide six weeks/months from now that you raped her.

git a rope If there any way to get shot by a Texan it is to steal his horse, mess with their girl/guy or kill their dog.

Jackson Rathborne has "Frodo" eyes. I'll grant that he's a cute pup but he's much to young for me.

EWWWW! How sordid!

Does that mean we start calling her CATTY-WOMAN *runs away to hide*

Farve's Retirement A drunken haiku with vicodin How long have I been playing? I guess its time to call it a career... <goes fishing, hunts and is bored to death> I feel like I've got a few more years in me... <Romanticizes days gone by, calls his agent> The Jets! They suck. I can be a savior! Where do I sign? [season starts, Farve is brilliant! [season progresses, old body feels the pain [season midpoint, Farve spends all his off hours in whirlpool, has a pez despenser full of vicodin that he chews before swallowing [slump begins, Farve is slower, his passing losses its zip he takes a beating [season ends, Jets miss playoffs, Farve needs a walker and depends This sucks. I retire and I mean it this time. Signs Big TV deal with FOX and lives happily ever after... except when there's frost. Then he needs a walker and depends.

If a blabbermouth like Madden can be an NFL announcer, sees like Farve who actually played the game in recent decades would fit in nicely as a color guy.

Sober by Tool Theres a shadow just behind me. shrouding every step I take. Making every promise empty. pointing every finger at me. Waiting like a stalking butler, who upon the finger rests. Murder now the path of must we, just because the son has come. Jesus, wont you f**king whistle. something but the past and done. Why cant we not be sober? I just want to start this over. Why cant we drink forever? I just want to start this over. I am just a worthless liar. I am just an imbecile. I will only complicate you. trust in me and fall as well. I will find a center in you. I will chew it up and leave. I will work to elevate you, just enough to bring you down. Mother mary, wont you whisper. something but the past is done. Why cant we not be sober? I just want to start this over. Why cant we sleep forever? I just want to start this over. I am just a worthless liar. I am just an imbecile. I will only complicate you. trust in me and fall as well. I will find a center in you. I will chew it up and leave. Trust me. trust me. trust me. trust me. trust me. Why cant we not be sober. I just want to start things over. Why cant we sleep forever. I just want to start this over. I want what I want... I want what I want... I want what I want... I want what I want...

Correction: this is the first lesbian superhero. Northstar, a member of Alpha Flight- a Canadian team of mutants in the X-men universe, was the first gay supehero.

Brett's a sure bet for the hall of fame the first year the he's eligible. He's proven how good he is. Why hell- he even gave the Jets a winning record. I just hope that he retires while he can enjoy his retirement... and solid food.

Objectivist: you didnt spell check your title........ I understand the title. Dom's speaking Southern. Where he picked that up, we can only Guess. HUI is pronounced: Hoo Whee! It often comes before Hey y'all watch this and the unfortunate death of a redneck doing something really stupid.

*Hugs Dom* Sometimes we've just got to figure these things out for ourselves in our own time. If you were not "cheating with the computer", you would be cheating with work or the grocery store or the cable guy when your partner has that sort if insecurity. You don't need that kind of greif and "fixing it" is higher maintenance than a house with a cracked foundation.

Simplest answer: Water can not exist in the liquid state at temps above 100C. Boiling is water becoming water vapor and escaping as steam. It takes a constant input of heat to keep water boiling because the water loses energy as the steam escapes.

Many in South Mississippi had insurance at the time that Katrina struck and the insurance companies weaseled out of paying. Insurance sounds like a good idea but let the buyer beware- they are in business to take your money and deny your claims if they can get away with it.

Six fires have merged into one huge firestorm. Here in Mississippi, we won't soon forget the Aussies that helped during hurricane Katrina. Please take care down there.

Toads and frogs are very different species. Almost all toads are inedible. Toads have glands on their back that secrete substances that are either foul tasting or even toxic. Some species of toads release a toxin that are hallucinagenic to humans hence you hear of some buzz starved people "toad licking". Before you try it, the toads with hallucinagenic properties are fairly rare. Most toads that you might try licking in North America will simply taste horrible and won't take you anywhere near cartoon-land.
