carol,

Dahling, I know that News Travels slowly over the Hill to

that Mary Poppins was a part of Disney's efforts to
inject Drug Addiction into the Innocent Minds of Little
Children before they were conciously capable of 

	"JUST SAY NO! TO HOPE!"

And that the reference to Mrs. Pankhurst in irons,
was the 'hook' upon which the Latent BDSM tendencies
of Disney were keyed!

of Innocent Babes, they will then Grow up to become

If you look really carefully at a map, you can see blue stuff. This is water.

If you look really carefully at the same map, you will (typically) see green
stuff. This is land.

An island is a small bit of land surrounded by water.

Find a map with Nova Scotia on it. See? we aren't surrounded by water.

Somebody sucked my gas tank dry last night.  The locking cap apparently
wasn't screwed on tightly enough.  I went to bed with half a tank of
gas/petrol.

Today I wake up and head off to a 7:30A.m. engagement but run out of gas
at just about THE halfway point seven miles down the road and I have to
walk about a mile and a half in the rain with no macintosh and no umbrella
to get more gas.  The first place had no gas can to either sell or loan me
so I had to continue on to the next place.

Didn't even have any rubbers with me for all the good they would have done.

Bastards (lovely word) stole my gas cap or threw it into oblivion, too,
and it was a $15 locking type.

So I was late and soaked.  Fun stuff.

I'm not so sure about that.  My first serious relationship lasted over a
year.  It was three years before I dated again.  The last serious relationship
lasted nearly five years and I started dating two weeks later.

I do think that a lot of it depends upon being in the right place at the 
right time.

After my first relationship broke up, I spent about three years living on
a college campus surrounded by 20,000 other people and didn't date anyone.

Of course, I wasn't especially interested in dating anyone and that 
probably had a lot to do with it.  

I think that it has a lot to do with how comfortable you are with yourself.
I always find myself being asked out when I'm the most comfortable with

I'm trying to compile a list of the top ten scariest words

romance or romantic situations---so y'all feel free to pitch
in and contribute, y'hear?

So far, I've come up with:

"...He/She has a NICE PERSONALITY." (Blind date)

"...I just want us to be friends."  (End of relationship)

"...I think we should see other people." (A relief to some)

"...Bob, you remember that little kit I bought at the drugstore?
Well...The little strip inside turned pink this morning...and, umm.."

"...I want you to meet my parents."  (NOW you're in for it)

"...So, you're on your honeymoon, eh?  Well, congratulations!
Honeymoon couples are ALWAYS welcome here at the Bates Motel!"

"...Did you know that you whistle through your nose when you kiss?"

"...Could we leave the lights OFF this time?"

"...Upset?  No, no!  I'm not upset that you don't want to see me
anymore---not at all.  By the way, do you have any sharp instruments
lying around?..."

"...All those others meant absolutely NOTHING to me, darling..."

"...Why, you're like a brother/sister to me..."

"...Oh---I see you've noticed the mink-lined handcuffs and the
bullwhip on the stand next to the bed..."

******************************************************************
