i've just been laid off from yet another clerical job, and i've
decided that there's only one way to deal with this:

make jewelry.  after all, to decorate is one of the three fairy urges!

most of my initial pieces of sterling jewelry have been for the asb
crowd, but i'm probably going to start setting lots of pink,
triangular stones at some point.  if you are interested in
semi-precious stones set in sterling, earrings, pendants, or pins, all
done to a queer motif, please send me mail.

note:  i don't do gold unless you personally will pay me up front for
the gold.  i also can't do anything with cute little sterling
handcuffs until i find a supply of them ready-cast.

Perhaps I'm too alienated at this point, but the hell with Ann Landers
and what she and her readers think.  I don't expect them to approve
or understand.  I do expect them to respect my rights, but they can
sit around pissing and moaning all they want.

I'm not sure what you are asking, but I'll try to answer the question.

The ne.org.bcs newsgroup originates on the public access Unix system The
World.  pro-applebcs is a BBS run by the BCS Apple II group, which happens
to support Usenet newsgroups. It's located in Boston and the number is
(617) 268-6914.

There currently isn't a frequently asked questions file (known as a FAQ).

Does this answer your question?

Can't figure that out either. "Tourist attractions" do nothing for me. I've
been in Boston four years and have seen nothing I didn't pass by walking.
I guess it's just me; every time some girlfriend drags me off to somewhere
like Cancun or the Bahamas, they want to spend precious time on what's
supposed to be a relaxing vacation, (presumably so that workaholic me can
get some rest- they're just along for the ride, they say...) traveling or
walking around to look at rocks, and churches and islands and sh*t. Biiig
FD- that's why they invented postcards.

I just usually wait until their little tourguide fantasy tires them out, and
hop on a local city bus or into a cab, or just walk around the non-tourist
parts of town while they sleep. That's the real vacation. Best time I had
abroad was watching a checker game between two guys who spoke as little 
English as I did Spanish, drinking that swill Mexicans call Standard brand
beer, in the hot sun in a neighborhood most tourists don't see, where the
houses probably cost less than what I had in pesos in my pockets.

Well gol-lee, I've seen folks drive all the way out to Colorado to 
look at ROCKS. Some folks even go to Wyoming to look at a HOLE IN
THE GROUND!

And some of them folks come out here to look at WATER.

If you do, I hope they sue! :=)
Don't take this too personally, as I'm not thrilled with the level
of literacy among the engineering community as a whole.

But, the best place I've seen so far for these things is the big island
of Hawaii:  you can see trees, rocks, holes, water, black sand, camera-
toting tourists, and bleak deserts all in the space of an hour's drive!

-rich
P.S.  One thing I never understood about Hawaii is this: at the airport,
  they explicitly forbid you from carrying _rocks_ back in your luggage.
  Somehow I doubt that Hawaii, which gains a number of acres of new rock
  every year, will be depleted even if everyone took home a Pet Rock...
