Hello everyone of ARC-Land, especially those in the 
Romantic Fire Association....  I would like to announce
that I am resigning from the Presidency of the RFA.
I still plan to be a member, in fact I plan to have the
title "Official Good Romantic Witch of the RFA"....but
I no longer can devote the time it takes to being the
President.  I am learning a whole new computer system
here at work and really need to devote lots of extra time
to furthering my knowledge and my career.  Of course
I want all of you to know that I've truly loved being
your Prez of the RFA, and I will still be around, but not
quite as often as it takes to be Prez.  Please remember 
when you go to nominate your new President that he or she
should be able to spare the time to welcome and be equal
to all in ARC-Land.    

I Love you all, and will still be here as The Good Romantic
Witch!!   

The Good Romantic Witch and resigned Prez hands Julie her
key to the Presidential Villa.... (Julie is the Vice-Prez'
Secretary)....A tear falls on to the key, and quickly wiped
away.  * Hugs Abound *  

I will see all of you in ARC-Land!   The GRW mounts her
Golden Broom and slowly takes flight into the air, hovering
low to the ground, waving and blowing kisses to all in 
ARC-Land as she holds her Golden Wand, showering all with her
famous Golden Majique Romance Dust....

PARDON MOI! What's a lookie-loo? Is my sex being flamed here? my gander?
Perhaps she was saying what a nice person I am. I did say and do so
very many nice things.

I considerately avoided any crass request to inspect the (merely)
aesthetic headlights, or bring my own dipstick to check the oil. Instead
I made simple inquiry into the serviceability of certain functional and
useful parts, to avoid any undue embarasment.

Being mild manneredis important, so I asked. Nor would I want anyone
wanted by the law. And who could fault me for wanting to come back
for more?

I design swimwear (for real) and I need to know when the models are comin

so I can find out if she's jealous 8(. I even used a term of endearment
-"BABY"-! Perhaps she even likes group things. If she lives too far away
it would be difficult; anyone can testify to that!

So, when all is said and done, I think I'm quite a romantic guy...

	No problem-o!  All that's in there now is school stuff.

	break from the net and concentrate on her grad studies.

	again proclaim my immortal words, "I hate UNIX!!"
	and put my nose back into my textbooks, where it belongs.

	You are all terrific hopeless romantics, each and every
	one of you (with the possible exception of... well, rip,
	I won't say it), and as much as I enjoy this place, I
	want to graduate next December and get a *real job* for

Last night, a friend (female, BTW that's important as you read on...) 
and I were discussing the changing body types which the advertising 
community seems to put forth.  We talked about how women's shapes 
have gone from busty to curvy to thin (and so on) and how men's shapes 
have gone from burly to muscular to not-quite-so-athletic.  We 
couldn't decide if this was due to the baby-boomers or just fashion.  
We agreed that physical beauty was, of course, in the eye of the 
beholder, and that compatibility of the personalities was a much more 
important factor in relationships.

Ok.  So my questions are...for pure eye-appeal (men and women), what 
body types/looks do you prefer, has that changed as you have gotten 
older, and why do you think it's changed?

*SIGH* it is a good thing I am letting the company pay me for reading
ARC today...now, Judy, I appreciate your unbounded, unbridled,
unrestrained enthusiasm....HOWEVER, I asked for y'all to EMAIL me at
ssalter@silver.ucs.indiana.edu so I can record your votes in a very
secret, out-of-the-way, encoded file that nobody can access but me.
That way it will remain secret and I will count all the votes on, oh,
how about TUESDAY and announce the new president..hmmm, maybe I will
ask Lisa to formally announce the new prez, good idea huh? After all,
she is SO cute when she gets excited and all that. :)

okay, I will make an exception this ONE time and record your vote in
the very, very secret file called SETOV that is residing somewhere in
the outermost reaches of the crab nebula in a small box made of
iridium an shielded with class 7 force screens and surrounded by
automated AI robotical sentries that are armed with particle beam
weapons....and that is JUST for starts! Heh heh heh, no one will find
out the results until it is time. Julie may try her feminine wiles on
me in an effort to find out. HAH! I challenge her to an all out effort
to find out...heh heh...she will learn nothing....but she WILL have a
good time trying.

Ok, since I asked the question, I'll contribute my other $0.02...
(Remember, we're talking about looks only, folks!)

I used to be attracted to petite, curvaceous (sp?), blonde women
(cute, I think).  As I've gotten older, I seem to have changed to
from blondes to darker hair, and added high cheek bones.  I don't
know why, even though I've dated women of both body types (and a few
other types).

So, ladies, speak up!  I know you have opinions on this, as well.
