Try it (if you can) somewhere near a large body of water, have a nice breakfast 
overlooking the water, and as the sun rises over the water, ask her then...

Good luck!!!

If you are near a ski resort and you can plan to do this in Winter....
try waiting until sunset and then take the ski lift to the highest point

something of a cult hero in NZ. So here's Summer and Anna, two bored post-
graduate students sitting in their office one Friday afternoon. There is 
no such thing as a student-mentality, everyone has their own specific way 
of being a student that varies between cultures.  However, without meaning

    Yeap PuterDude, neters is a non-scientific classification of people hooked
one way or another to the net, in particular soc.penpals.

   Now, I seem to have missed a lot of the responses to my original posting
called "Do YOU know???" BUT I have an excuse :) I was away for a week taking

   Hyvaa" Paivaa" lots of responses from up there (yeap, Finland), kind of

   So, what's the best time anyway???
   And the 2nd question is:

Why?  Well, it's basically like this.

I met my girlfriend up here at ISU over the summer while
she was working for the Astronomy Dept.  She left for home
on August 4th and arrived at JSU on August 22nd.  It's been
over a week since I last spoke to her via phone and I asked
her to see about getting an account on there computer.

To shorten this a little..

I need someone a JSU to act as a "medium" for the time being.

I would like a female penpal if possible.

Thanks for listening to the sob story...

Yes indeed, but the industry is rather bigger here in New Zealand than it is
in China!  As an aside, we call it "kiwifruit", not "kiwi" --- the latter being
reserved for a flightless bird, and, colloquially, for the New Zealanders
themselves.

And yes, we like them here too.

 I read westerns and history books. I also read the daily paper.

 I am a Ham radio operator and also an avid world band radio listener.

Oh. And for years I've been callin' them "netters". Silly me. :)

The reason for my post was a humorous way of sayin'...
	There is no special time. It's *HOW* you say it, not the
time that you say it. If you are really worried about the time,
work in an old faithful and take her to a fancy restaurant. My
wife gave my ring durin' a cruise. I had left the table to excuse
myself, and the box was in front of me on the table when I came
back and sat down.

>   And the 2nd question is:

Actually, I said "diseased", but I know what you mean. Ask your
News System Manager to get it. Evidently (since you can post to
_soc_.penpals) you already get the 'soc' hierarchy.

 Hey Gerr'...

 What exactly IS your definition of intelligent/attractive? Do you really 
 think the total package deal beauty would be wasting her time looking for
 testostorone-induced-superficial geeks like you, buuude?

 And what do you plan to do when you receive photos from some of your

 bodacious-babe standard built in the image created in your head?
