the leeward side of the island (and a mile or so running east towards
Pearl Harbour) but the yard is on the west side of Ewa Mill.


   I found the railway within 4 days of my first trip to the island.
I didn't find the beer for another week.  Lets face it, even a nice

But, does this prove that your not oversexed?  If there is such a thing
some might consider more than once a day, even with the same person,
oversexed (substitue any frequency within any time period).

Personally, I agree that oversexed applies to anyone getting more than

Well, I'm willing to have you despise me, but not presume on me.
You're being a bit arrogant in thinking that you can dictate the terms
under which Suzanne and I can be entitled to 'true love'.  If we want
to have that paper, that's none of your business.  Get your nose out of
our relationship.

>--Julie

Maybe I'm also failing on another account, which was that I just
realized that I'd assumed that common law marriages existed
everywhere.  With respect to obtaining the legal status of being
married, and all legal ramifications thereof, in the province of Canada
I live in it was quite impossible to avoid.  Suzanne and I would have
been married in the eyes of the law as soon as we had co-habited for
three years, or had a child together.

There is no difference legally between this and marriage, except that
you save $25 doing the name change if it is done immediately after
marriage.

Getting married was something Suzanne and I did for ourselves and each
other.  We weren't asking the state to recognize the marriage, because
the common-law version was to be thrust upon us without our consent
anyways.  The marriage wasn't about seizing some social advantage, but
because we love each other.

It meant something to us to have that.  And you can like or dislike what we've
done, but don't presume to tell me what it means.

I agree (with Dave) absolutely. I think we need our own community and
should celebrate our collective identity as bisexuals. This is more or
less a given here.

It's tempting to want to share the resources of the lesbian and gay
communities, but that's always likely to be divisive, since ultimately
being bisexual is different to being homosexual. After all it has a word
of its own, doesn't it? On the other hand, I don't think we should cut
ourselves off from lesbian and gay communities - we have much common ground
in terms of MOTSS attraction, and the same political agenda. We should
"work with" all communities, and we have a right to recognition of our
sexuality from all communities.

Let's keep the borders blurred. Defining a "separate" community builds
barriers - what I really want to see is the breaking down of barriers between
distinct communities. The bisexual community should be "within" every other
community, not just the lesbian and gay communities, but including them.

Largely luck I think, partly NOTICING the suppression of
"chemistry" and the repression of the "seductive eye".
Watching the increase in certain kinds of physical activity,
toe wriggling, blushing, general busyness, stretching, bounciness,
glancing or NOT glancing.

I mean, for example its often what DOESNT happen that you'd have
expected to. One woman I went out with, I met at a party. She sat down
beside me, but slightly on top of me. Now normal distancing behaviour
would dictate that she would move off, at least a little. This didn't happen,
so that triggered the curiosity. Sure enough after finding a neutal 
other person to dance with, we were swapping phone numbers by the end of the
evening.

Hmmm.  I know that NOW was harsh on the lesbian members in it's early years,
but NOW's a "mainstream" feminist group (IMHO).  It was my impression that
fairly soon after "radical" feminism started in the late 60's, lesbians 
played a very large role in the movement.  If I feel either energetic
or naughty enough, I'll try to track down that book on radical feminism that
talked about those early years.

My apologies.  But I wouldn't be very happy if someone suggested that
someone visiting me didn't bother stopping in Edinburgh but instead went
to Glasgow as quickly as possible because that was where it was
happening.  But I think you're right, I was indeed *worrying* about this

me something rotten (sorry Mike but your advice wasn't really very good,
