I read in the paper this morning that Audrey Hepburn died.  I loved most of
her musicals and movies.  I'll miss her.

My SO was telling his parents that I should talk to them because I like old
movies and know of actors and actresses he's never heard of.  I watch current
television shows and movies on occasion, but they don't seem nearly as
interesting on average as old movies do.  Anyone else have this same feeling?

Just me,

little 'e'

(Who sat up *way* past her bedtime watching Katherine Hepburn last night)

Ed, my mother has being diagnosed with schizophrenia; now, even

Well, you have to remember that the dreck from back then just isn't

I'd have to agree that an ankle bracelet looks better with minimalistic 
dress (ie. flats, sandles, or bare feet).  I have actually noticed ankle 
bracelets on people and have yet to see one on a person wearing high heels 
or any such atire and can't imagine it actually looking that good.  I find 
that ankle bracelets on bare outherwise "unintresting" ankles are VERY 
atractive.  Of course I'm more of a purist than some people and believe 
that one should not unnesisarly adorn oneself.  I find people who have the 
natural look the most apealing.  Sandles are VERY atractive (especialy 
during a Montreal winter ;)).  Bare feet are atractive also.  I can't see 
anyone in their right mind sugesting that a person wear high heals with an 
ankle bracelet.  I supose I must be among the minority here (of course from 
what I've seen here about ankle bracelets I seem to be among the majority).

							Jason Rasku

P.S. If I had the pleasure of being female I am almost certain that I would 
wear ankle bracelets with bare feet and sandles also think I would probably 
take them off when I was REQUIRED to dress up.  Just a personal prefrance 
though.

Ok, so I was extrapolating from my own experience and that of others when
I said that people who enjoy backrubs much prefer to be associated with
SOs of the same persuasion. I was also extrapolating from my knowledge when
I said that people who do not like either giving or receiving backrubs may
prefer to be associated with folks who share their point of view.

From what I've seen, massage non-enjoyers tend to fell put upon when their
SOs ask for a rubdown after a hard day. Since most backrubs aficionados of
my experience enjoy giving as much as receiving, that aspect of contact is
also limited because the receiver would prefer to avoid it.

In the relationships I've seen and experienced, spinach is not as great an
issue as the quality and frequency (or non-occurence) of backrubs.
The comparison is weak, unfortunately. A better comparison would be to
something which is on the order of a semi-weekly event, like maybe washing
the dishes. If one partner finds himself (or herself) always doing the 
scrubbing-up, without an equivalent task being done by the other, you may
see where the resentment may build up over time.

For that matter, if your SO cooked a meal with spinach in it every week,
I rather doubt you would let this pass uncommented, no?

Now, if you want nothing to do with backrubs, but you'll freely give and
receive same from an SO who is a fan thereof, without a glimmer of
resentment, then I apologize. You are the exception to _all_ the people
I've spoken with on this subject.

This is a VERY BAD place to post them. Whta the hell do you think
that the alt.personal.* groups are for? If you think that personal
ads are so amusing, why don't you go there.
They were created to take personal addds >out< of soc.singles, where
they DO NOT belong.
