Unfortunately, this is often true, but, if you make the item legally available
to adults, but parents tell their kids, "dont do it" will that not still
add to the appeal in this age group.  I know I did some things (not drinking
or drugs, but smoking) because my parents didn't want me to.  Somethings that
were even dangerous, rock climbing, rafting flooded rivers, and others that
the danger and the rebellion increased the fun content of.  My sister tried
to sneak off and get married, and I assisted in the plot.  This is a problem
you will have if it is legal or not, if the parents oppose it.

perhaps they should have the law changed to the way my county back in Tennessee
was.  It was a "dry" county but you could buy from a package store legally,
and take it home to drink it.  That was not illegal.

For those of you who, like me, have been disappointed with the quality
of stereo repair in Huntsville there is a ray of light.  Hi-Fi Service is
a fairly new stereo repair place located just to the south of Walmart on
Jordan Lane.  I have had them fix two CD players for me recently and was
impressed both times.  I might add that these same two CD players had
been taken to Sound Distributors with much less pleasing results.

Hi-Fi Service has a free diagnosis policy which is really nice.  You
leave your equipment there, and they call you back with an estimate. If
you give the okay, they fix it.  If you don't, they put your equipment
back together and return it to you.  No charge.  My experience has been
that if the problem is straightforward, you'll get a phone call from a
random person in the shop.  If the problem is more difficult, the repair
guy will call and talk to you about it.  Nice touch.

The first time I went in I took them a Techniques CD player that skipped
occasionally.  Sound Distributors charged me $10 to look at it, and said
the laser needed to be replaced for $200.  No thanks.  (I've heard that
this is a fairly common rip-off in the consumer CD market.)  It sat on
the shelf for a year, and then I took it to Hi-Fi Service.  They spent a
couple of days looking at it and called me.  They said the problem was
too difficult to reproduce (two failures during 10 hours of playing) to
get an accurate diagnosis.  They said it was probably a weakening
component or an outside chance that it just needed cleaning.  They went
ahead and cleaned it after which they couldn't make it fail any more. 
They recommended I keep using it until it failed more frequently.  No
charge for the cleaning.  So far it works great.

The second time I took them a Denon CD player that would refuse to play
discs entirely.  The warmer it got, the more likely it was to happen.  I
had taken it to Sound Distributors in the past.  Both times they charged
me $70 for cleaning and aligning, and both times the problem came back
in a few weeks.  After looking at it, the Hi-Fi guy called and said that
it looked like either a problem with the electronics ($150) or perhaps
the laser itself ($170).  Being in a good mood I told them to go ahead
and fix it.   When I went in to pick it up they charged me $45.  The
problem had indeed been on one of the boards, but it was only a poor
connection.  They managed to patch the connection rather than replacing
the board.

Yes sir.  I am a very satisfied customer.  I hasten to add that I have
no relation to this shop other than as a customer.

I rented Tie Me Up - Tie Me Down at Silver Screen in the mall at the
corner of Airport and Whitesburg.  NC-17 really?  I would rate it about
an R.  It was a bit strange, but not as kinky as the title would suggest.

You might also try "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover" by
Greenway.  Not for learning Spanish.  Just for a good, gut-level, obscure
movie.

You know I grew up in an upper middle class family, that class
with the school nurse was my sex ed. One time (when I had just
started my "time of the month" I brought out the big bulky box
my mother had brought from the store in a rage. My father was
sitting at the table next to her, she got mad at me for bringing
the box out saying "Men don't like to see that" or something...
It was quite silly as I look back on in. Yes, they were
introverted. And it is silly to think that a man can't stand the
sight of an unopened box of feminine napkins! I am sure mothers
outburst embarrassed him more than my complaining about not
wanting to wear a diaper!
   Oh the childhood memories.
Still, Birthcontroll should be addressed; but not (IMHO) with
the condom. THat piece of latex is not what is is touted as
being--a STD and pregnancy preventative. If parents believe that
their child is sexually active then the parent should take a
look at all the alternatives and come up with a solution. If it
takes a visit to the doctor (or even a school nurse) then that
is fine. However I refuse to support any form of Sex Ed that
claims the Condom will save you from becomming pregnant or
contracting AIDS. Because it is a LIE!

Oh, yes, brother Jimmy was the finest President ever.  His lamentable 
judicial  appointments have had the greatest number of impeachments and 
convictions of any group of judges in the entire US history.  And I 
aint talking about the convictions of the people before them.  He 
appointed more pathetic excuses for judges than anyone else.  I could 
go on.
 
Yes, I agree with you, Bush has frittered his first four years away, 
mostly trying to get along with Congress, compromising with the crowd 
that YOU want to give the Presidency back to.  No thanks.  Give me lame 
any day before another Carter or Clinton who wont even be tempted to 
compromise with those check bouncing crooks in Congress, heck, they 
will be "inspiring" as they lead Congress in taking more out of my pocket and 
and *SPENDING*  even more!  If Jimmy had been President another term, 
and Mondale or other clone to follow, we wouldnt have had to worry 
about just how much we could cut defense and how to spend (clinton 
likes to call it "invest" ... HA!) the so-called defense dividend.

If you have some form of reference to this I definitely want to read it (and inform others), but otherwise I have no reason to believe your statement over those of COUNTLESS health professionals.

I have read about this type of system, and apparently it is quite

They want to come out to my home and demonstrate their stuff.
The company name is SHIELDS TECHNOLOGIES, and are located

Their phone number is 880-1301, I think.


I will call the Better Business Bureau tomorrow to find our what is

I have to agree with this, I've seen Quayle get burried by the press for making
mistakes that anyone could make, a slip of the tongue is one thing, but this
was deffinately a slip of the mind.

The only thing that bothers me the most about Clinton is that he promiced to
raise taxes to help out states hit hardest by the recession.
