Brumby,
Congratulations to you and your wife on the arrival of your baby daughter,
Jennifer Rhiannon.

When I was born almost 21 years ago I was also a premature baby by a number of
weeks due to being a twin. I spend a while in a humidicrib. A week or so after
my birth I stopped breathing for no apparent reasons but luckily I was revived.
I am therefore very lucky to be about.

Damien.

Mighty fine and a great big holiday howdy to y'all

Rounder places a Walking Liberty dollar on the counter.  Irish Creme all
around, Mike.  

I just discovered a recipie for making Irish Creme a la Bailey's that I'd like
to share.  I'm calling it "Rounder's Downfall," since downing a couple of
glasses during a bull session earlier tonight has certainly contributed to my
inability to finish my work.

Anyways, to make it, you simply mix equal parts of sweetened condensed milk and
evaporated milk in a bowl, add you favorite Irish whiskey, in equal parts, or a
little less, depending on your tastes and tolerance.  Mix and add freshly
brewed coffee (I used Colombian Supremo, though I'm also partial to Yrgacheffe,
but do what you like).  Add a little more coffee than the other ingredients. 
Add vanilla extract or vanilla sugar to taste and chill.  serve and enjoy.

Cheers and Hugs!!

The purple guy finds the book he was searching for, and
bringing back to the table, starts flipping through the pages.

"Here it is!  Barlowe's Guide!  Hey, Michael (the Chaotic), you

/* holds up the Guide for all to see.  He is looking at the
picture of a Slash, from Piers Anthony's Cluster series.
It looks like a slender and supple branch, tapered, with
five tentacle-like appendages on either end.  There are a 
series of disks across its length, like multiple wheels on an
axle.  And the best part of all:  The creature is purple!

"You know, Michael, I have read this series a few times
and really enjoyed it, but I don't think this had anything
to do with my choice of name!!"  

"Then again, maybe I am Slash Ast!  Some strange
cross between a Slash and an Ast?  Well, Big Al

"And I definitely prefer to be called Slash Ast rather
than Slash Splat!!!"  (the purple guy still giggles when
he thinks of that particular pronunciation!).

I fully agree.  It is valid that one can believe that God exists, and someone
  else can believe that God does not exist.  However, God cannot exist and

Exactly.  And a statement is true if and only if it corresponds to the fact
  it asserts.  For this reason, I do not support the claim the morality issues
  can be regarded as true or false, since morality deals with good and bad,
  which are entirely subjective.


I'm sorry I have to disagree with you, Liralen, but thank you for providing
  me with a great deal of food for thoughts through email in the past two
  months or so.  My conclusion is that we have very different notions of
  what truth and false are.
