Well, if we are going serious Jules...

Iwas reading the other day, that her in the state of Victoria,
moves are afoot to make the act of initiating, or having sex with
a sleeping person, a criminal offence.

It is all part of the anti-rape crusade down here (Which, normally, I don't
mock - no flames please) and is designed to protect women from unwanted
advances from unwanted partners while asleep.

But as Julie points out, men can also be awoken by their partners.... for
portions of the male anatomy can still function while asleep.

So, if Julie and Steve were living down here with me, would this make Julie 
a criminal??

Someone needs to look at this very seriously... and obviously not
70 year-old judges.

Sorry - my heavy one for the day.

Philosophical aside:

Entre Nous
----- ----
We are secrets to each other
Each one's life a novel
No-one else has read.
Even joined in bonds of love,
We're linked to one another
By such slender threads.

We are planets to each other,
Drifting in our orbits
To a brief eclipse.
Each of us a world apart,
Alone and yet together,
Like two passing ships.

Just between us,
I think it's time for us to recognize
The differences we sometimes fear to show.
Just between us,
I think it's time for us to realize,
The spaces in between
Leave room for you and I to grow.

We are strangers to each other,
Full of sliding panels,
An illusion show.
Acting well-rehearsed routines
Or playing from the heart?
It's hard for one to know.

We are islands to each other,
Building hopeful bridges
On a troubled sea.
Some are burned or swept away,
Some we would not choose,
But we're not always free.

(From the _Permanent Waves_ album by Rush).

My point?

Nobody ever said relationships and romance was easy.  There is no
one right way.  There is no "cookbook" or recipe or how-to book.
Dare to try again.  The rewards are precious beyond expectations
and well worth it.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll get off this soapbox and crawl back
under the RFA couch...

With all the chocolate that is about ARC, I'd thought I would share 
some dieting news:

----==0==----

If you are concerned about not getting enough exercise, here's 
some good news!

A recent medical association report stated that "proper weight control 
and physical fitness cannot be attained by diet alone. Many people who 
are engaged in Sedentary occupations do not realize that calories can 
be burned by the hundreds by engaging in strenuous activities that do 
not require physical exercise."

Here is a guide to calorie-burning activities that can be conducted 
right in your workplace, as well as the number of calories per hour 
they consume:

Beating around the bush ............................................60
Jumping to conclusions..............................................75
Climbing the walls.................................................150
Swallowing your pride.............................................. 20
Passing the buck....................................................50
Throwing your weight around....................................100-400
Pushing your luck..................................................100
Making mountains out of molehills..................................600
Wading through paperwork...........................................100
Juggling deadlines.................................................120
Balancing the books................................................ 60
Running around in circles..........................................250
Bending over backwards..............................................50
Opening a can of worms..............................................60

Well, since Lis said her piece, I guess I'm next geographically
speaking :-)

I'm Mary Epperson, otherwise known as GEMR (Green-Eyed Maiden of
Romance).  I've also been the ChatSex'y to 2 chats (almost 3).  In
real life, I'm a secretary in the Statistics Department here at
Purdue.  

I will mention one thing about the people on ARC: they're wonderful,
especially when you're having a bad day or a rough time in life.  I
had a really rough 1992, and due to the chats (and meeting friends) I
made it thru.  I feel like I have a second family here, and I really
appreciate everyone!!

How about the Eucalyptus Speciosum chapter? :-)
It's the same with most australian plants.  They are adapted to forest
fires and need them to reproduce.  I wonder how the seeds of the
redwoods I saw near Canberra were germinated?  The trees were a mere
seventy years old and only about 50 feet high (long way to go before
they get to the altitudes of the trees in California!)...  Interesting!
I didn't think *any* US plants were fire-adapted.  Most pine forests
have a habit of dying when burnt.  Eucalypt forests usually regenerate.

I remember the forest fires back in 1980 - the sun was orange all day
with the amount of smoke in the air.  The blue sky turned brown and I'm
told that some trees got so hot in the fires they exploded...

If only we could stop the mountain ash forests in Tassie from being cut
down - the tallest flowering plant in the world is actually in part of
the Pulp and Paper Mills selection - and they may yet cut it down for
newsprint :-(  I got within 8km of the tree when I was there, but they
wouldn't let me in the gates!  Wouldn't you think a 300 foot high
Mountain Ash would be a tourist attraction?  What's even more sad is
that way back in 1880 they cut down one that was *400* feet high :-(
*sigh*

No respect for nature :-(

Actually it changed during Napoleon's era. The concept of "total war"

Of course, the serfs are valuable property. Isn't that the whole point
of razing the farms? You know, reducing the manpower so to speak?

It certainly is nice if people are reasonable and solve their differences
in "The New York Times" and "The Washington Post" editorial. Not to mention
listening to all the perfectly reasonable suggestions the members of the
world (read: western) media. *RickI hastily went to the toilet and pukes*

You might be surprised how many people on those nations agrees to your
question. Blood has flown, atrocities has been commited. Many people 
only have revenge in their eyes and thus see justice in their vengeance
in the name of their "honour"

Still the same number as now, I suspect.

RickI, the RoadRunner.
All these discussions I suspect stemms from the differing definiton of
