  Assuming that money is the root of all happiness.  Although enough money

The Zanker won't get a clue or a life.
We gave him free clues which he could 
have applied as down-payments on a life.

Now that El Presidente~ has squandered his clues,
he loses his life. Are any of you mourning yet?

Meanwhile, it would appear that at least half of
the FirstAmazonUnit were too ChickenShit to take
the little pill. Due to a rip in the TimeSpaceContinuum,
they ended up beaming to TheRedLionInn here in Vicky!

The town has never boinked like this before!

President Zank is my HEEROE!
Not only is his gift of RandyAmazonBeauties appreciated,
it's gotten to the point of worship!

President Zank is a saint and the greatest martyr that ever lived.
DirtyOldVictorianMen sing his name in the street!

The FirstAmazonUnit is so hungry for men that dying winos

Actually, that works fairly well, though unless you're incredibly
short (or she's incredibly tall) you won't need to stand on a chair
to be able to rub her stomach.  Keep in mind, though, that a lot of
people feel fairly protective of their stomachs and may feel that
your walking up and rubbing theirs is a violation of their personal
space.  I've found that upper backs work better, on the whole, and
have the additional advantage of letting you put your arms around 
her to reach her back while making eye contact.  

Trygve   (As to telling whether or not she's interested, mostly you
          just have to keep an eye out for fairly subtle cues; if 
          licks her lips with a slow, lingering motion, that's a 
          good sign; if she licks your lips with a slow, lingering
          motion, that's an even better one.)

Hi,

I'm a DWM, 29 years who just recently graduated and moved to the
Bay area.  I have blue eyes and sandy blond hair.  I weigh around 
175 and am 5'10 1/2".  I like all outdoor activities. Those I have
not done before, I'm willing to try.  I love animals and long walks
on the beach.  I enjoy people who have a good sense of humor.

I would like to meet a S/D*F who is 25-32 and lives in the SF 
Bay area.  Someone who cares about their body.  Not necessarily a 
health nut, but someone who stays physically fit and is conscious about 
the condition of their body. 
 
If you are interested in netting and possibly more, please send me some mail.

Everything else in your article aside, I've seen christianity attacked
regularly on this net.  I've also seen islam attacked.  Judaism happened
to be the religion of the woman who first brought this subject up, which
is why judaism happens to be the religious flavor (or anti-flavor) of the
the hour.  I suspect that rON would have been no less vehement if this
woman had been a fundamentalist christian of some flavor looking for
another such individual.

No one has done so in this discussion that I have noticed.  You're attacking
a straw man.

>So can we quit this "WhydoJewsonlywanttomarryJews" B.S......

rON's attack was on exclusivity in all its forms, plus (what he considers as)
the hypocrisy of using modern technology yet living according to (what he
considers as) archaic rules.

You're the one waving the bloody flag of bigotry, not him.

Fact (that should settle whether jews marry outside their faith/ethnicity/
whatever):  Over 50% of all American jews intermarry.

But I repeat, this is not what the discussion was about.

any harddisk looks hard on the outside but it has magnetic medium on

Sorry, rON, but that's the old hell; what with the incredible numbers of

Yes, it is -- *BUT* only when it's what the two of you have agreed upon
FIRST and talked about the consequences. I speak from experience -Been

There are two issues here -- that of sex after a relationship had
ended and  that of friends having sex.  The first is generally a bad
idea, for numerous reasons the least of which is residual feelings.
The second is a touch more tricky.  I can admire the honesty of
someone saying that they don't love someone but still are sexually
attracted to the other and want to engage in 'the beast with two
backs' but I am perturbed about the nothion of meaningless sex --
especially given that, if I recall correctly, it would be the woman's
first time.  Intimacy *IS* greater when emotions are both equivalent
and deeper; the first is key.

>I used to have a relationship where we were 'fucking good friends'. It worked

But, Kev., the levels were different ... she WANTED love and intimacy
and was willing to sacrifice friendly sex for what to her wasn't an
illusion of love.
