This is a matter of your ethics and religion.  The law does not see a
foetus as a child.  I don't consider a foetus to be a child until and
unless it's born.  Some other people consider the miniscule blobs of
partially differentiated cells to be a human being.

Having a stable male "role model" is important, whether or not that
male happens to be the child's biological father.  In a number of
situations the biological father is either not desirable as a role
model, or is unwilling to perform that role, or is disruptive to the
child's development, or is dangerous to the child and the mother.

Having just a financial support is not as good as having a healthy,
happy, large multi-generational extended family, but it's better than 
eating out of trashcans.

Many people have asked for the exact location of Harry's Hofbrau.
It's in Mt. View on the El Camino about 1/4 mile north of 85.
It's on the west side of the El Camino.

Oh, I don't know, Mike.

When I got up this morning, I felt wonderfully vibrant and refreshed.
And YOUNG.  Not a thing could be wrong with the world:  the birds were
twittering in the trees, the cats were brushing themselves shyly
against my leg and gazing up at me adoringly, and I knew, just knew
that soon all my long hours at work would be rewarded handsomely.  I
made myself a pot of tea (Ridgway's Her Majesty's Blend), put on my
glasses (tinted rose, of course) and settled back to read news.

Ah, yes...all was going as it should in my little corner of heaven.

I basked for a moment in the warm appreciative glow from my cats (for
surely they are grateful that I get out of a warm comfy bed to feed
them at 6 am) and thought for a moment how lucky I was.

Somewhere in the world, there is war, famine, pestilence and not least
of all, AIDS, the calamity of our time, but what care I about these?
None of this touches me; they might as well not exist.  I smiled,
humming a little tune, and went in to start the tub filling.

Yes, I'm a lucky woman.  And I have all this because...

I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me! [tm]

Welcome to Doug's universe.  Don't worry, be happy.  Check your brain
cells at the door; you won't be needing them here.

OK:

repeatAfterMe( void )

   for (x=0; x <1000; ++x)
      printf("Yes, Desiree, that's right!");
}

main()

Now doesn't that make you feel a lot better?!

Well, let's see, 1500 ain't that much (unless it's for furniture).

Charter:

The newsgroup ba.announce is for the posting of announcements that
would be of interest to the entire Bay Area Usenet Community.  The
intent is that every Usenet reader in the Bay Area should be able
to subscribe to ba.announce without being overwhelmed by volume.

Format:

Postings should be short; the ideal posting would be less than 50
lines.  Please remember to format your postings for 80-column
screens, as that is the most common screen size on the net.  Also,
please check your spelling and grammar.

Please include location information in the Subject: line!  Not counting
sites in other states and countries, the Bay Area Usenet distribution is at
least 6 hours' drive across, and longer if you take public transit.

If you are announcing an event for a specific date, please include an
Expires: header.

Subject matter:

Content is restricted to announcements only.  Discussions are not
appropriate material.  If you are announcing a meeting for an
organization that is not well-known, please feel free to include
a short statement of the organization's history and purpose as a
part of the announcement posting.  Please do not send us background
material as separate postings; it will be sent back to you.

For sale/wanted, or rental ads are not appropriate material.  Please post such
ads to the proper ba.market group.  Any postings of those types will be
returned if possible, and dropped into the bit bucket if not.

Announcements of seminars should be posted to ba.seminars.

For-sale and for-rent advertisements should be posted to the appropriate
ba.market group.

Some examples of appropriate postings:

      * An announcement of a meeting of a political organization.

      * Party announcements or other social get-togethers.

      * Conference schedule announcements, e.g. Interop or Usenix, if
        it will be held in the Bay Area.

      * Book signings, celebrity visits (authors, Usenet figures, etc).
