It may be well known to you, but it is far from well known to medicine.
Women with too-low body fat (and possibly other characteristics in common)
tend to have highly irregular or non-existent periods--that's no the
same as not ovulating.  Quite a few gymnasts and such have surprise
pregnancies.....

rON disagreed with you, which is his right to do (I don't

> Well, looks like ballroom dancing is the first to get multiple endorsements...

I'll add another vote for ballroom dancing. I'm a TA for ballroom
dance classes at Syracuse U. and occasionally I attend some of the off
campus classes taught by the same instructor group. I've gotten to
know some really great people through dance class, including my
current SO and previous SO (they're both dance TA's now also) that I
probably wouldn't have met otherwise. The classes we have on campus
are really nice for singles because most of the people in the class
are there without partners so you get to dance with lots of different
people.

Also Country Western(C-W) dancing seems to be really catching on
around here also. One of the C-W instructors (he also teaches
ballroom) says that there is usually a shortage of men in C-W dancing.
He met his previous SO in a ballroom class and his current SO in a C-W
class.

Well whatever floats one's boat, but I'd hate to have all these chains
connected to strategic places and then get tangled on something I brush
past and go tumbling away, leaving little bits of me hanging from loose
chains swaying in the breeze ...

IMHO, as a Shy Woman(tm), making
initial eye contact and then
glancing away is a just normal
reaction. The real proof of
interest would be a second
glance (either a furtive one
or a lingering one accompanied
by a smile). Okay, I've on the
rare occasion met and held someone's
gaze, but it is far more common
for me to glance away and then look
again a second later.

      I think of myself as christian. I go to church every
Sabbath and read the bible daily, but it does irk me that
people who claim to be chirstians really aren't. In my mind
 christians don't go to bed with hateful thoughts, instead of
hating they love their enemies. I will let GOD judge whether her
her mother is a christians or not. I also eblieve that christains
shouldn't profess to be christians as an act of bragging, but if
they truly are christains one will see it through their actions.
Also they shouldn't go around trying to convert everyone and not
taking no for an answer. It seems everyone wants to save you, but
none are their for you after you are saved. It sometimes seems like
some sadistic game.

I strongly disagree.  I've been here a lot less than 9 years (then
again, I was on the net 20 years ago, but it was a different world
then), and I haven't seen them trying to "manipulate and control"
soc.singles.  On the other hand, there are a number of things that

And if you wanted computer advice, but didn't get the appropriate
newsgroups, would you post those questions here too?  If something is
inappropriate, then it's inappropriate.  Period.  If you can't get
access to an appropriate place, that's your problem, not ours.
