And it's a good thing TheCreators broke the mold (along with the molder's
nose) after they made rip. Too many flaws to correct, you know.

Well, this comment prompted me to share what my kitty has started doing.

The other day, I went home not feeling well, and just hopped into bed
upon arriving.  My intention was to sleep.  Hairy Harry (our 9 weeks old
black long-haired kitten) decided to join me and keep me company.  He
discovered that my neck made a nice nursing spot.  So, he nuzzled his nose
thru my hair, and found a good spot on my neck.  He then began kneading my
hair and nuzzling my neck.  He quickly fell asleep, purring all the while.

Steven, of course gets jealous, and throws him out of the room at bedtime, and
Hairy Harry just sits on the otherside of the door, crying his little eyes
out.  Sad, really...

	this will be my last poem, as i fear some bad commentary
on it.. *smile*  this is about a recurring dream i've had since i
was a young boy... Honor and valor... such strong things to me...
and i feel i'm destined to die on a field of battle... this is the
dream...

			I Have A Dream

I have a dream
It haunts me every night
Men- a frenzy of uncontrolled plunder
Machine gun clatter - a riotous thunder
Enemy targets in my sights

A hill ahead slopes to the sky
Wind makes knee-high grasses sway
My comrades all around me now
Never speak of fear aloud
Take a moment to silently pray

Walking slowly - each step placed
My eyes scanning side to side
Listening for any sound
Then dropping to the ground
Feeling something snap inside.

Bullets whiz by in the air
Kicking up dirt all around
Hear the scream of a ricochet
The muzzle flashes seem to say 
That all is lost and nothing found

Panic strikes my newest friend
First combat seen today
I scream to get down
As he climbs up off the ground
Giving his position away

I sprint to my feet without a thought
A moment before the killers fire
I push him to the ground
As my body takes a round
And my chest is set on fire

My eyes are wide, my body frozen
I look at my friend upon his back
And then the pressure like some drug
As i take another slug
And someone screams "Medivac!"

My legs give way and I fall
See the blue up above
Hear the rifles and the screams
And yet I feel so serene
Full of some unconquerable love

Looking up into the sky
A medic pressing on my chest
Hear the sound of rotor blades
A voice: "Chopper's on its way"
And feel that I have passed this test

The Huey lands amid red smoke
The world is slowly going grey
Soldiers struggle to carry me
To relative safety
But my life continues to slip away

The rotor blades chop thru the air
I know that there's no going back
My bandages are so dark red
The medic slowly shakes his head
And then the whole world goes black

The medic forces my eyes closed
His fist is clenching my dog tag
He bows his head and says a prayer
His shaking hand runs through his hair
He zips me in a body bag

The dream ends...

First of all, welcome to ARC!  Don't remember seeing you 'round here before.

Second, subtlety (sp?) may not be the best approach.  Ask her to lunch.
Find out what her hobbies/interests are.  If you share those interests,
suggest both of you doing them.  If you find that she is willing to
spend time with you, and the interest is mutual, you will know if the
relationship warrants deepening.

Regardless of her state of romantic attachment, you may find a good friend
(or at least, an interesting colleague).

Sorry if that's a bit preachy, but IMHO, asking a woman out on a date
(especially in the same office) after only knowing her a week is kind
of the same as walking up and saying "Hey, you wanna f*ck?".

Relationships take time.  Invest the time in getting to know this woman
as a colleague and a person.  Just because she may already have a
boyfriend does not mean she can't be your friend.  Friends are good
things too, you know!

[...apologies if that's a flame...]
