So far, I've found it's the kiss of death for any relationship that I
hope will be serious for her mother to approve of me.

     I am not saying that there is or is not a God, or gifts from God.

     Since Lubosh and you (Lort) say that kids are gifts from God, I ask that
you prove your statement which you have not been able to do.  If you can
not prove your statement, then I submit that your statement is false.  The
onus of proof is on you because you made the original statement.

     Once again, good luck.

I'm really surprised to hear people saying that they're afraid to
bring up the subject of contingency plans for a breakup in advance, or
that doing so is a sign that you're not really serious about the
relationship.  Good grief, if you *can't* bring yourself to talk about
financial planning, I'd really question whether you have the openness
and willingness to communicate that's necessary for a successful
relationship!

BTW, as an alternative to the three accounts approach, when my
ex-sweetie and I were living together we simply kept track of our
finances individually and took turns paying the rent and other joint
expenses.  Neither one of us was exactly rich at the time either (we
were both grad students).

Subject: Description of the Fetal Remains from an Abortion
Organization: North Carolina State University
Date: Wed, 18 Nov 1992 17:31:51 GMT

  "It was easy to shrug off an aborted pregnancy as nothing more than
   a sack of blood and globs of tissue--as many pro-choice activists
   did--if one never saw fetal remains, or products of conception (POC),
   as they were known in medical circles.  But the nurses, medical
   assistants, and doctors who worked inside procedure rooms knew
   that while an eight-week POC was indeed a sack of blood and
   globs of tissue, an eleven-week POC harbored tiny arms and legs
   and feet with toes.  At twelve weeks, those tiny hands had tiny
   nails.  Although the fetal head was too small at that stage to
   withstand the evacuation machine's suction, pieces of face--a nose
   and a mouth, or a black eye (all fetal eyes are black in the
   first trimester) the size of a pea--were sometimes found in
   the aftermath.

   Later abortions spawned even more gruesome fetal remains.  Between
   the twelfth and the sixteenth week, early in the second trimester,
   the fetus almost doubled in length as its body caught up to its
   large head, and it filled out to the point where it looked like
   a human baby for the first time.  Since the fetal skull was 
   still soft, the head did not come out whole during the evacuation,
   but the legs and arms and rib cage made it through intact.  The
   hand of a second trimester fetus, as a Preterm doctor described
   it, seemed big enough to shake.

   Most of Preterm's abortion staff didn't volunteer to work ``seconds''.
   Late first trimester POCs were hard enough.  The counselor/medical
   assistants (CMAs) met regularly to discuss their feelings about
   their work, and often the discussion focused on the POC.  Inside
   a procedure room, facing the contents of the uterus, there was
   no denying what abortion was."

Dear Clutch Situation,

	The loss of any dear friend, and especially a volvo,
can be a devastating and emotionally traumatic time. What you
need to do is allow yourself some time to grieve.

	Then, as you find yourself capable of dealing with
the possibilities of returning to the real world you can
start by driving your friends cars, and going for a spin
with demo cars from the various agencies.

{this also works well if you have lost a girl friend.
What are good friends for, but to share with you as you
try to start out again.}

	What you will need to remember, is that NOTHING in
the world will replace what you have lost, and that you will
never ever have the same relationsip that you had.


	What ever you do, do NOT rush yourself. These things
take time, and you will just have to give yourself some 'space'
to accept that after the loss of your beloved Volvo, life will
NEVER be the same again.

ciao

I'm awful glad to have been born a boy. My name would have been "Ursula" after
my grandmother if I had been born a girl. When I was three years old, Mom was
pregnant. The baby was a girl. I asked them to call her "Linda" instead because
I liked that name. my seester still thanks me on occasion.

I spent my first four years after school living somewhere that I didn't
really feel was my home. Although I managed to develop a social network 
there, I was pretty much unremittantly single the whole time. After
I moved somewhere where I felt at home, my love life and my social life in
general improved dramatically.

The point of this is, unless you really love your job, don't stay somewhere
you don't like, any longer than necessary. It can affect you in subtle ways.
For example, I'm convinced that if you don't like where you live, it can be
harder to get involved with someone because you may subconsciously have one
foot already out the door, and may be trying to avoid the possibility of 
being tied down to that place. 

>How did you
>meet, seeing as how you were in a new area where you had no friends?

The first place I lived, I met most of my friends at work, and through them 
eventually met other people. I also met some folks by following up on a
a flyer I saw in a bookstore seeking people for an activity I was curious about.

When I first moved to the Bay Area, I made most of my friends by 
taking classes and workshops that interested me and following up on
contacts made there. I also made friends by getting to know a couple 
of folks who were 'social hubs,' who had lots of people around them all 
the time and who liked helping their friends get to know each other.

One of these folks also introduced me to the net, which I've found is a 
great way to make friends...although if you're not in an area where lots of 
folks have net access it's probably not the same.

The abstract is: engage your curiosity and follow up on things that
interest you or that you like. If you don't have a lot of friends to keep
you busy, then maybe it's a good opportunity for you to take some workshops
or explore some activities that you've never had time for. That will
probably lead to additional contacts if you make an effort. For example, if
it's a music class, you can get folks together outside of class for
practice sessions. Also, talk to people whereever you can, and follow up 
on their suggestions for activities.

I understand that extensive aerobic exercise in general (not just the

You can change that, you know.  Most news readers and mail programs
will use the "NAME" variable in your shell environment if you define
it.

That's how Tyger's name showed up as "Kitty in the Middle" for a
while, and probably how Aahz's name shows up as "Mean Green Dancing
