Hi,

My son would be interested in getting penpals from all over the country
and internationally  as well. He is 7 years old, in the second grade,
and is interested in the following: astronomy, mathematics, soccer,
movies, books, Where In The World Is Carmen San Diego?, Nintendo and
music. If anyone knows of anyone around the same age and with similar
interests who like a penpal, please have them write to my son at the
following address:

      Daniel Fried
      62 Idaho Lane
      Matawan, NJ 07747


Thanks!

P.S.: He also enjoys watching anything on Nickelodian (sp?)

  One used on my bisexual (f) cousin by another woman:

    I like you.  I want to be your friend.  But I
    sleep with all my friends.

  It worked :>

  This one from a friend:  An attractive woman approaches him,
    with the tip of her finger in her mouth.  She dabs the wet
    finger on his shoulder.
      "Oooh, let me help you out of those wet clothes ..."

  (didn't work because he's taken, but he *does* find the line amusing)

How about,  you walk up to a nice lady and do the following
 
(walk up, say "hi" then lick your finger (or make it look like you lick
your finger then rub it on her shoulder,  then do the same to yourself and
then say)  "hey, why don't we go back to my place and get out of these wet
clothes"


OR

"I'll buy you dinner if you'll make me breakfast"


These are old at BG and may be old where you're from but to others they may
be new.

Hi, out there.  My name is Stan, and I would like your hand in marriage, only

Stan.  I'm sorry I am just kind of corny sometimes,but I have to admit that I
am a hopeless romantic.  I would like to have some female penpals to talk to
and write to, besides we guys can't live without you girls---you girls are fun
to talk to ......   I'm 25 and a Communications major at the University of
Illinois at Chicago.  I like to sing,basketweaving (NOTT), play pool, see
movies,talk, and I love to dance---yes I am a good dancer-- I can dance to
rock,house,and techno.    I write music and poetry sometimes.  Eventhough I
am a guy I can cook.  THe bad thing is that I am kind of a quiet person. I
don't have a girlfriend right now and don't date too much because I am quiet
sometimes.  I kind of feel at this point that girls do not like guys even if
they are attractive.  I have been even told this by girls that I talk to that
a guy is more of a challenge and more interesting if he is a jerk.  What do
you girls think?  Well I don't want to bore you, Bye for now.......

me.  By the way I know a few people at Deakin, Latrobe and Melbourne
university so if you know me you'd better write me you bastards.

Oh ya, if you live in any of the places that I've mentioned and been

The mall is a good place to start, especially if you know nothing about
diamonds.  They'll explain the concepts of cut, clarity, color and size to
you, and let you look at stones through a lupe.  Look at a really cheap
stone, then look at the best stone they have.  You'll be amazed at the
difference.

You will most likely pay through the nose at the mall, plus they usually
carry only run of the mill stuff, so if you want something unusual, 
you'll need to special order it, or go elsewhere.

NYC has a 'diamond district', with many retail stores on the ground floor,
and wholesale cutters in the suites high above the stores.  I was
fortunate enough to know a cutter who gave me an incredible deal on
an emerald cut stone, 1 carat, VS1, color F/G, white gold setting for
under $3500.  It has been twice appraised for much more than that amount.

While it may be worth coming to NYC to get your ring, be aware that there
are scams everywhere, as well as crooks with razor blades looking
for unsuspecting grooms-to-be...It's not a jungle or anything, but you 
do need to be careful.

Once you know they're abusive (and you just found out) the best course
of action is to stay away from them.  If they follow you, get a
protection order.  If they violate the protection order, call the cops
on them.  Don't take risks with your safety or health, please.

One of the best parts of writing your own wedding and picking readings
is that you get to go through the standards like The Prophet and see if
they fit you.  This can be a good way to see what marriage means to you.
Personally, we both rejected this reading and couldn't imagine it being
read at our service.

I'm going to post a rather long piece under the non-traditional thread.
There are 3 readings from our wedding in it (A poem by Gwen Frostic,
an opening reading about marriage, and The Apache Wedding Prayer).
Look there if you are interested.
