Hi,
I hate using the macs!  But all of our NeXTs are being used.
This is in response to the idea of being too old but feeling like a kid still.
This is also in response to Ouch.
In my Sociology class yesterday we talked about how our society doesn't have
any rites of passages or anything.  And when we do have definitions of adult-
hood, they are completely inconsistent with each other.  For example, our (the
U.S.'s drinking age is 21, but our voting age is 18, and our drafting age is
18 and our driving age is 16 in most states.  This not only lengthens the time
in which we become fully adults, but also screws our minds over as to how
mature we are supposed to be.  This is opposed to a less modern society in 
which boys become men when they kill their first deer or something like that
and girls become women in some similar rite of passage.  We do not have a
clear and definite definition of "adult."  This has resulted in 40 year old
kids.  So, in other words, this newsgroup, in a way, could be for anyone.  I'm
not trying to say that this newsgroup is useless, but rather that if you feel
like a kid then, in my opinion, you should be allowed to post here.  Does that
make sense?
Now for the second part of my post.  Hi!  I live in Portland too and like to
play RPG's like AD&D.  I go to Reed.  My phone number is 232-1288.  Give me 
a call.  (If you haven't guessed, that was sort of a personal note.)

I can live with "Full House", even though it is a mindless "cutsie-cutsie" 
"look-at-the-little-darlings" comedy.  In fact, at least Full House has
the benefit of being well made, professionally done.

If you think Full House is bad, then you have never been subjected to the

Sorry sister downer but beating people up won't get you any cool points, and beating people of a different race up will most likely get you either jumped by a gang of that person's friends or just plain shot around here... 

Good luck, and I hope none of you come to amherst.
Don't worry,  they have really shitty basketball teams and they don't have the greatest Business program. Besides it costs about a fourth as much to stay in state and go to Iowa or UNI.

Well seeing as everyone is introducing themselves, I suppose I will
too!

My name is Ken Rice and I am 16 years old.  I am currently a sophomore
at the local high school.  I live in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, which 
is a suburb of the Twin Cities.  I am into sports, music, a little
theatre, coin and baseball card collecting, and a lot of other things.
My favorite books would include just about anything written by Twain,
and I have to aggree that the Westing Game is a pretty good book.  (It
has been so long since I have read it, but I do recall that I loved
it.) If you want to know anything else about me, just drop me a line.

Ken

The Video delt with the visions of the Virgin Mary, Notradamus, and Cayce.  
Cayce, I hope it is spelled correctly, was a man who could see in the 
future, and he predicted when the world would end.

As for it being a Satire of Roman downfall, I have no Idea, I will bring up 
that in my next class.  I also came to that conclusion when reading 
Revelations.

Thanks For the Reply!

Well I have the opposite problem, and I used to get pulled over by the police

look about 21 - 23 depending on who you ask, but I'm 27.

Hmm was it just a general world-wide feelings on what the end of the 
world, or was it about St. John's Revelation? hmm well about the 
revelation, I think it is more of a satire on the end of Rome than of 
anything else.  Rome was a city on seven hills, and there is a resounding 
theme of seven throughout the text.  Also at the time of writing Rome was 
busy oppresing people, like the writer, so the writer could not really 
talk about the glory of the eventual downfall of Babylon, or Rome.  There 
is some other stuff but I forget.

Unfortunately, the Federal guidelines (as implemented in Maryland) do
provide for exactly that:  The NCP pays his share of the expenses
(which do NOT include child care), plus child-care if the CP works.
 
-- $800/month for 3 children seems high.  My wife (a CP) pays $375 a
month for 2 children (this is before- and after-school care, not all-day
child-care).
 
-- 1/2 the child-care costs sounds reasonable; she could be asking to
have you pay ALL child-care costs PLUS your share of the expenses to
provide the children with a home.
 
[Remember that the guidelines have the NCP paying a share of the TOTAL
expenses (including total housing, total transportation, etc.),
*not* the MARGINAL expenses -- marginal expenses being the difference
in expenses between the household "with children" and the household
"without children."  So it's not just the expense of food, clothing,
and doctors' bills you're looking at.]
