Is this the same Brother Jed I saw about 8 years ago, while attending
Cal Poly SLO?  I thought only that school was cursed with him!  His
name was Rev. Jed Smock.

I remember a time when he was screaming that a woman from a sorority
was a "WHORE!!!".  Upon hearing this, she pulled off her bookbag, and 
hit him very HARD over the head with it.  The police were called, they
came and took him away, as he sang "Onward Christian Soldiers".

He even made the evening news there...

My favorite picture from the Daily Illini was taken on my first day of  
class at UI (September '75). Someone was offering the Jedster a lit  
spliff. I remember it well, 'cause I was right there in the first row of  
hecklers (nope, it wasn't my joint :-). It made the front page the next  
day, and I've been a Jed fan ever since, though this newsgroup is the only  
contact I've had with the guy for years...

I encountered Brother Jed and Sister Cindy the reformed disco queen (converted
in the parking lot of a Hardees, if I recall correctly) at UNC Chapel Hill, oh,
5 years ago at least.  Just a year or two ago, they got front page coverage in 
the "Wallpaper Journal", that glossy thing they post in elevators and dorms.

My biggest question about Brother Jed is this: where does he get all the money
from?  He gets around more than the flu, it must cost a bit. 

By the way, did anybody else ever see the traveling preacher guys who did
their bible-thumping while doing strong-man tricks? "breaking bricks for 
Christ", beds of nails and the like.  It may have been the silliest thing I
I have ever seen with my own two eyes, barring an Australian "irongut" 
competition.

There was a Brother Jim at the University of Michigan

enunciation as Brother Jed... "Four... Nih... Cay... Shun!!!"

Is this the same person, or a cheap imitator?  Brother
Jim was "Saved at a Van Halen concert."  Is this Bro. Jed's

   what are some of your favourite fantasies?  (ie. unusual places 
   for making love, particular scenarios, etc...)

I suppose this is not limited to making love, or ?

I usually try to change history afterwards, I imagine what would have
happened if I had behaved differently at a certain point. 

When I was a teenager I never had a girl friend but I always was
unhappily in love with some girl. There was one girl in my school who
was quite nice looking, intelligent and assertive. With many of my
secret loves I rarely exchanged a word but we became friends. I was
quite good in school and one way to get in contact with her was to
learn for some exam together. I remember there was one day where we
studied for Chemistry (I believe) and we were in her room. She was
quite nice to me and mentioned that her parents liked me. Then we were
horsing around a bit and she put on some lipstick with Cherry taste.
And I did ... nothing. So when I dream about this I imagine I would
have kissed her ("just to find out how this lipstick tastes...
Actually I am not quite sure yet. Are you sure this is cherry. It
rather tastes like...").

I suppose this sort of fantasies must be very common. Here is
something more meaty:

Some time ago I go by train from from Leeds to Edinburgh. In my
carriage there was an american girl with two older women (mum & aunt
?). She looked quite cute, was wearing shorts, had very sexy legs and
nice forms [To be precise she had big tits, sorry]. I talked to her
and she told me that they were going to Edinburgh as well. We are
going to get something from the buffet. On they way back I drag her
into the toilet ("Hold on I have to show you something."), start to
kiss her, touch her breasts and... [In reality I met some friends in
York and where we had to change trains and we went into a different
carriage.]

Hi, everyone

I need your suggestion and imagination.  My boyfriend's birthday is
coming soon.  I want to give him a gift that has my hair on it.
I have quite long hair and he loves it, unfortunately we are living in
different city and he doesn't have many chances to touch it, so I want
to made a gift with my hair or buy a gift and put my hair on it, but
I have never done this and have absolutely no idea what I can do.

Now you wise people, if you did something like this or got something
like this, could you describe it?  If you haven't, use you imagination
during break and share your inspiration with me.

Lots and Lots of thanks.

This is great, but one thing I would be careful of is the 'at least

flat out give up on a romance with her and only think of friendship.
I think this is the only way you will really get over her and be able

can then worry about falling in love again, but I wouldn't hold your

Ah, yes.  This is very hard, even when you are sincerely only looking
for friendship.  This is why I suggest totally giving up on romance
(the only thing to do to keep your sanity, IMHO).  Patience helps
alot; don't push hard for the friendship, just let it happen.  You
might want to wait a month or so before working on friendship to give
yourself time to collect yourself and get over the worst hurt from the
rejection.

In my case they can and did.  I think it is worth pursuing the
friendship if she is interested, though others on the net would
disagree...  I find that people I have been in love with or even just
infatuated with make great friends.

In my experience I don't choose when to fall in love, it just happens
("mine I leave to chance and chemistry"---helps if you know the
tune...).  Don't worry if it was a mistake, just move on with the
relationship.

Good luck, hope things work out for you.

I don't think anyone just wakes up one morning and finds out the
romance has been lost... and despite what your fiance says...

it can't all be your fault either...

but to the problem at hand:  has she said exactly what it is you
no longer do?  Has she said what she wanted?  And can you look
back and see why you stopped doing those things..

the most romantic thing in the world is REALLY being able to
communicate with your romantic partner (RP!)....I have gifts
and cards and etc from the man i love, but what i really find
romantic is when we sit and talk for hours about us and
everything..and nothing at all..

cheers..

Think back on what you did several years ago. Have you quit doin'
the little things to keep romance alive? Have you and your fiance'
gotten into a routine? Can you break it a little?

Romance involves capturin' and holdin' on to that "new love" feelin'.
Do you still flirt? Do you still ask for dates? Do you leave little
"nothin' notes"? Are you startin' to take your fiance' for granted?

Remember what you did when you first started datin'. See if you can't
inject a little of that "newness" back into your relationship.

Good luck!

I just want to second this advice. It's a lot easier to cancel things that
were already planned than to sit there looking at each other, desperately
trying to think up what you're going to do next.

This is regarding my entry named:  Older Woman/Young Man.

I just wanted to let everyone know in the Net I decided to 
to continue to see my SO.  You made me realize that I'm
not ruining his life by continuing our relationship. He was 
delighted (to say the least) that I have changed my mind.  

One draw-back though, he is moving 3,000 miles away!  In
the interim, we will continue to communicate back and forth.
Several people have mentioned to me that long distant romances
don't last.  I'll take my chances.

Thanks again.
