I have hit trees exactly two times while skiing (downhill).  I didn't get
hurt either time but both made for some hilarious falls.  In once case I
ended hanging upside down by my skis.  I was stuck in the trough made by
the deep powder and had to get someone to release my bindings to get down.  The
other case was cause by an inability to see.  I had gone off a jump and my
hat had come down over my eyes.  About the time I got it back up I could see
a 4' tree about two feet in front of me.  I bent it over and it shot me 
backwards.

the ol' Mazola oil trick but thanks for reminding me.  My 55 gallon drum
is almost empty.  I suggested that she go ahead and get that aluminum bat
(at least a 34 incher, size really does matter) and then put it in the 
freezer for a couple of hours. Just try catching a lizard with a frozen
baseball bat between your legs.  I have, and it isn't easy, especially when
the iguana is distracting you by running around the room shouting "Taste
Great, Less Filling".  I also questioned whether that was really a baseball
bat between his legs.  If that was the case I would suggest that she remove
her clothes, stand next to an open door, and as soon as the iguana runs 
through jump out in front of the door and bend over.  That'll improve 
anyones relationship.  Except, maybe the iguana's.

Easy question. NO. Why? Well, it's not that I think 14-year olds
shouldn't be sexually active, but I think it's better for them to
stick to their own age group. I believe that the usual distinction
between older and younger that eighteen is valid. Not that a 17-year
old and a 19 should not mix, but it isn't good for people well above
(I mean three years, that is 21) to have a sexual relationship with
people under-18.

Advice needed:

I recently have been "doing things with" some very independent women.  Meaning,
most women I have met sortof live by the "take me out a lot of times,
we  have a relationship" motto (which leads to sex).  However, these women
are  well, last night one was having coffee with me after Romeo & Juliet
and told me that I am the only person her age she like (she has a 20+ year
older boyfriend) and that she has dated over a dozen multimillionaires.  Now,
this woman DOES actually have her act together  a delegate to the republican
national convention, on the board of dozens of societies, etc.

Question: how does one approach an amazingly selfsufficient & independent
woman to become a girlfriend and also sleep with them?

Due to my acquiring better taste, I have had a monklike existance over the
last year while getting my PhD.  Dependent, uneducated, unsuccessful women
are no big deal, but ultraindependent and confident women I avoid
"mashing".....should I expect  when they want to that they will rip my
clothes off with their teeth?

I realize that even their going out is a big sacrifice, timewise; rather
that they spend very little energy elsewhere and have a lot of committments...

Perhaps Stef's operational plan is "take no prisoners"  ??

Speaking of velcro and soc.singles....the previous owners of my 
townhouse left strips of velcro glued to the *ceiling* in the master
bedroom, located over the bed.  Frankly, I'm puzzled, and didn't have
the presence of mind to ask the realtor to explain that feature.
Anyone have any good theories on why it's up *there* ?

Good for you.  Who cares?

Some guy (Ed) wanted to know what WOMEN thought of MEN With long hair. Not
what long-haired men think of women who don't like long-haired men.  Why do
people have to get so defensive when one person expresses AN OPINION?  Or 
were you just lying in wait to inform us all of how "lame" we are for having
a preference that doesn't include your type?

It depends a great deal on who the people involved are, and what form
the flirting takes.

If, say, Pooh were to post a summary of her momentous dinner with Kenn
and Aahz, I suspect a number of us would be interested.  Even if she were
to flirt while doing it - the amusement value would be worth it.  A few
double entendres would just add spice to the sauce.

On the other hand, if Suzy Smith from Swarthmore writes a flirtatious
posting that really has nothing to do with other netters or any event that
many of us would be interested in, chances are she'd get flamed for it.

There's a big difference between a posting that is flirtation aimed at
one netter in particular, and a posting that is a (possibly flirtatious)
description of an event that is aimed at a number of netters.

There is also a certain amount of "ego" that I think gets taken into 
consideration, too.  If the posting seems to be an attempt on the part
of the poster to gratify their own ego, it seems less kindly received
than a posting that is aimed at complimenting someone else.  So, for
example, if I were to post a flirtatious thing about my tastes in
lingerie, I would expect to be flamed, but if I were to post a flirtatious
thing about the cute clothes a net.hemi.demi.semigod wears, that would
probably be received kindly.

In terms of the "Crabs with Steve" dinner, I can say that while traffic
in this group has been rather mundane lately, that one thread has kept
me from taking a break from the group....

Well, not per toe, but if all your toes can get jobs, that's at least
ten times the minimum wage.

Well, perhaps an interview might be in order.

Trygve    (You might think that it would be a problem if your toes all got
           jobs at different places; apparently this isn't as difficult as
           it might sound--I can think of one case where one toe went to

Well, last time I saw a setup like that, the intent was to hang curtains

Hey James, you hit it on the head.  Has anyone out there wondered why 
gymnastics gets such good ratings on TV?  Does anyone really
believe that all the viewers are into the gymnastic part of the 
program?  I agree with James, I also like to watch the girls after
their performance, walking around with their little tight butts.
No one can tell me that I'm the only one who watches it for that
reason, either!  --Keith

Because it's never been worth a shit for me (with one lone exception).
Trying to talk over the noise turns my voice from pleasant to harsh,
I never quite have The Sought After Look, and I find it hard to do
anything that could lead to more than a dance.  Quieter is definitely
better for me; the Richard Thompson concert in May was pretty neat.

I'm glad your mileage varies.
