I've been having a terrible time getting anything into my player,
between Mary-Chapin Carpenter's version of the song in my .sig
and some stuff from the newest Loreena McKennitt album.  Deadly

Last night I competed in the championship match in the Bud Light Dart League.
Earlier in the week my steel tip team also played in the final match and
took first place.  My soft tip team didn't fare so well.  In any case, the
proprietor of the pub, who is basically a stinking drunk, would say "ooh,
shuckie-darts" everytime somebody threw poorly.  As I couldn't hit a pigs

trophies for second in this league.

Well, Trygve, that could be either an easy or a hard question to answer.

First, one has to look at the situation where one will be eating these
two items (or not, depending on your choice, which is possible too.)

However, you can't be single and not be single, but you can eat both
the pizza and the hot fudge sundae (kinda like "having your cake...")
:)
Anyway...

I, for one, if not for many, have certain cravings and happen to dislike
eating certain things, sometimes, as most people probably do (is this time
for another survey?  BTW, what kinds of toothpaste do you use...:))
SO...
When I want something salty, and I have a choice between pizza and a
sundae, I'd choose the pizza (I don't like those dessert pizzas, I think
pizza is meant for a snack or meal, not dessert, but that's me.)
and if I wanted something sweet, I'd eat some candy (I like ice cream
just fine, but for some reason, maybe all that FAT, I don't eat it
as often, as say, Jerry. 8+)

So, maybe my answer is moot.

But, with each item comes a compromise.  Suppose there was only pepperoni
pizza, you're really not into pepperoni that much (I won't go into
details I can't understand :), and you want something salty, but the only
other thing to eat is the sundae.  What do you do?

The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind, the answer is...
dependant on whom we're talking about.

For those people who tend to get stuck in ongoing relationships where
there is no give or take, and you either stick it out or get hurt, those
people will either eat nothing or suffer with the pepperoni.
For those people who are a little wishy-washy about decisions and 
don't tend to get many choices in the first place, if they can't have
both, really can't eat pepperoni, they're only choice is to eat the
sundae because it would be impossible for them to pass up such
an opportunity.

Ok, so what does this have to do with being single or not single...?

I don't know.  I got lost halfway through this posting, so if you can
make something out of it, be my guest. :)

later.

andy.

who would take the pepperoni pizza over the sundae every time, 
but you already knew that.

Well, actually, it's why God invented good headphones :-)  But I'd
have to class music-listening-sessions-from-hell as one of the most
coveted benefits to actually having an SO.  I've always had problems
attracting SOs who liked music as much as I did, partly because I
find some of my reactions to music too personal to fully reveal to
people I don't know well.  I suppose I just need to use "Hey babe,
you wanna go back to my place and listen to some fabulous music
together?" more often ;-)

Well, I suppose I must admit that I tend to think about making food
when I'm hungry, but if someone else is hungry, she's can always let
me know (for that matter, technically speaking, I'm not the only 
person who can cook--though I'm generally happy to do the cooking if

I dunno, Ed; I haven't figured this one out myself--despite not being
incredibly neat, I don't think I've ever dated anyone who was not an
order of magnitude or more messier than I (I've had to clean up a two-
week's supply of pots and dishes to be able to find a girlfriend's 
sink and stove more than a few times--right now I think I might settle
for someone who would just refill ice trays).  

The whole laundry thing is worrying me too--when I got out of surgery
two months ago, my mother offered to do my laundry for me (probably 
the first time someone other than me has done my laundry since I was
seven or so) and, since this included things like my Santa Claus suit,
assorted colored t-shirts, and the like, I now have an entire set of
greyish-pink (nee white) towels.  At least I'm glad that I removed the
hand grenades and bandolier of 50-caliber machine gun shells from the
Santa suit first--those could have been awfully tough on the drier.

          on off-mauve....)

Ahem!??!! Explanation, s'il vous plait! 

ASIDE:  I saw an ad on American TV (Not CBC or CTV) last night that advertised
        a hair colour product called Belle Color.  It claimed to be the foremost
        (Parisian) French hair colouring product. Yet, the product is spelled
        Belle Color (extra e, absent u).  I thought this was a) strange, b) amusing
        and c) typical (use of pseudo European characteristics to sell to 
        unsuspecting 'Mercans! (for those who don't see the humour... colour, in
        French, is colour, not color.)

Spiritual aspects?  Ok, I think I can do this.  (Work with me!)  8-)
How about:  having your own space is good because you simply haven't
found someone who is right for you yet, and having your own space
gives you the possibility of letting this person into your life
when you do find each other.

Having your own space is much better than being with someone you wish
that rather they had /their/ own space.

Having your own space is better than being with someone who wishes
that maybe /you/ had your own space.  8-)

And finally, having your own space is better than having to read
someone else's mind (especially after frequent attempts at having
them talk to you about what's on their mind before such fourth-
dimensional talents need to be called upon, which, as everyone
knows, takes an inordinate amount of effort to coerce into 
proper, and accurate, submission!)   8-)

Taking all of this into account, I'd say there is very little
wrong with having your own space!!  8-)   8-)  I need to straigten

Tut, tut.  I have met numerous men who admire me for my mind (more's
the pity, I suppose!)  I think it's quite rude of you to presume you
know what this bloke's intent is.  He hasn't claimed a false sense of
familiarity, he has claimed to appreciate my writing.  As a tech writer,

it's nice.
