Yeah, that happened at SCU, too, and the student body about rioted, too...Coke
is now once again available in the SCU convenience store, and all Student 
government people involved with the decision were soundly defeated in the last
election, so Pepsi may be lining our pockets, but we are spending our money 
on the greatest cola ever, Coca-Cola!!!!

Hugs are always welcome here!!  Even HUGEHUGS!  This has got to be the most
appropriate test message ever run in ARC.  (We do seem to get more than our
share of test messages here...I've always suspected that it is a way for shy
lurkers to post.  Then again, it may just be that no-one takes us very 
seriously.  :) :) :)  I'm perfectly happy with that.)  Kinda strange to get
a test from an ARC-regular though.

Here is something to whet your appetites ;-)
This was contributed to me by Tony - I just tightened it up a little :-)

(You don't have to contribute verse!  Send me ideas and I'll see what I
can do...)

Of course there is Lis, the Romantic Witch,
Who was our bold Prez with 'nary a hitch.
She had to resign, through the pressures of life
And made space for Julie, a soon-to-be wife.

Ah Julie, oh Julie, the grasshopper lady,
And has she six legs?  Or is that a maybe ...
She's kind, and she's sweet, and fully engaged
To Steve, the old salt, who's soon to be caged.

The trainee librarian, whom we will call Lizzy
Was kidnapped by Kimmy, and now in a tizzy,
Must defend all her honour from Kimmy's advances
A-throwing his kisses, and dropping his pantses.

The ARCland is covered in chocolatey stains,
The chairs and the floor, and the high window panes!
They're licking their wounds, and they're licking each other;
If it doesn't stop soon, what will they uncover?!

Now all the net.felines in unison mellow,
CatWoman, and Tigger... the other CatFellow,
Contented to curl up as one by the fire
And live out their lives just as cats of desire.

If others are missing, 'tis not they're forgotten
Or some implication that they have turned rotten.
It's just that the poet must go do some work,
Or his boss will come back and he'll call him a jerk ...

Critic?  Moi?  Non!  Well, maybe.  Well, yes.  Of course.  The thing is,
though, I'm *not* just a critic of the RFA - I am a critic of life, and
the world, and bad televisions shows, and chocolate, and, well, of
almost any subject that comes up at coffee time (the original devil's

Hmmmmm.....  Interesting.  But why stop with just 'Feminine Dignity'?
As has been pointed out, the women around here have *no* problem
defending themselves.  :-) Why not just go all the way, (althought I
would recommend just one little change), and become our 'Knight in
Search of the Grail of Humane Dignity'.  That way you could be a
reminder to us all that *everyone*, not just women should be treated
with respect and dignity, and that it is a never ending process, or
quest if you will....  So mount your steed of Love, sharpen your sword
of Justice, and prepare your lance of Truth, and prepare to meet the
beast of Ignorance!  Go get 'em tiger!

Well, This sounds exactly like what happened to me...
I ended a relationship with a guy two years ago who I loved more
than anything in this world.  He was a policeofficer and had a
hard time expressing his feelings on top of other things.  He still
calls me and I call him...I still love him, but I'm not in love with
him.  He is trying now to express to me how he felt and still feels,
I know that, but he still can't come right out and tell me..so, I 
get aggrivated and leave.  I told him that he better decide quick
wether he wants his pride more or me.  He's been hurt alot too, but
so have I and sometimes the person just needs to hear it.

I know exactly how you are feeling...everytime I hear a song or
see a police cruiser or where we used to live, the feelings are
so intense, but over time...they subside.  Just hang in there..
it will be hard (easier said than done I know) but you will be
allright.  You will meet someone one day who will tell you 
everyday how special you are...

So for now, here's a hug....hope everything works out for you!
