        Why did she slap you? You weren't trying to rub something else
were you (I'll stop here, I might get accused of 'contributing to the
delinquency of a minor' ;-). This is an interesting thought, how to get
a girl to let you rub her feet when she doesn't know you that well. Hmmm.
It's particularly challenging because the most likely reaction from a
girl in her teens is probably words to the effect "You want to rub my
feet? That sounds weird, no way!". Off the top of my head, I'd suggest
you find a friend of hers who you know better (and who isn't likely to
think you're some sort of weirdo) and rub her feet. If you do well, she'll
provide some free, word of mouth, advertising for you. Of course, she may
also think you're more "interested" in her than you really are.

        Ok Sgt, that's your assignment, catch those feet and make sure
they get rubbed. (only kidding)

        Debbie (lynx), are you folloing this thread? I've been giving your
comment about feet washing a bit more thought. To tell the truth, it wouldn't
bother me to rub your feet after you'd hiked 20 miles in hot, heavy boots.
The foot washing stuff is just part of the fun (foot washing also has a
certain amount of symboligy attached to it, dating back to biblical times).

        I probably sound like I have some deep obsession with feet. I don't.
I'd just as happily rub someone's (and have someone else rub my) kneck or
even an elbow, not just feet. Oh well, it we keep this topic going much
longer we'll have to rename this group alt.footsies or something. :-)

Well, it's wrong in our case. My wife was 34 when Tommy was conceived. I
believe he was conceived in July, so according to the table Tommy should've
been a girl, and believe me he's not. And in this particular case we had ample
margin of error both in age (32-37!) and month of conception (April-October!)
Hey! Maybe we're part of that 1% margin of error.

Forget all that. Pretend its the day it happened. Now pick up the
phone (assuming you have home news, and not on a dialup), dial her

Not only that, but I always believed that the sex was determined by the sperm
(father), so what does the age of the mother have to do with it? If there was
a cientific "table" then it probably should include the father, in some way.

As far as "getting what you want" (a boy or a girl): we just wanted a healthy
baby. But also for some reason we wanted the first one to be a boy, if possible.
So I talked with my father's uncle. They had 12 kids: 6 boys and 6 girls, all
perfectly interleaved (starting with a boy). He told me they were lucky, but
that they also helped their luck by trying to conceive at the "right time", if
there is such a thing. I think it's known that the male sperm "swims" faster
but dies sooner than the female sperm. So if a couple makes love (or baby) when
an egg is available (ovulation), there seem to be better chances that a male
sperm will get to the egg first. Of course there's no guarantee. On the other
hand, if a couple makes love before ovulation (2 to 3 days), by the time
ovulation occurs chances are only female sperm would have survived to get to
the egg. The more "regular" the woman the better, since it's easier to predict
ovulation. We tried it and it worked for us, but of course I think there's a
great deal of "luck" (in between quotes, because I woudn't have considered
having a girl bad luck at all. We would've been just as happy as with Tommy).

	Oh yes!  My boyfriend gives awesome foot massages!  Your feet
are kinda attached to the rest of your body, so when your feet feel

        Hey, relax. One of my aunts is about 8 or 9 years younger than her
husband, but I don't know how old they were when they met. My other aunts
and uncles weren't exactly impressed when they started dating, but they've
been married for about 30 years now.

        Hmmm, do I hear wedding bells for Jarqui? ;-)

Maybe the male sperm are better swimmers and get out sonner and faster than
the femal sperm, so they deplete faster?

    Deep Spew - By Andrew McCallum

    House Of Pain - "Pack it up, pack me in!"
    There was The Who, now there's What Were They Called Again.

    True:  I was asked by a young girl on the bus today if I was Jewish.  I
replied "Yes." as I put a candy cane in my mouth. (I'm athiest, BTW.)

    Did you ever think......

    I have this watch that takes the temperature.  I want to get a fever so
I can see if it will take my temperature.  It'll be a task, since it'll be
hard to get it on the floor of my mouth.  If that doesn't work, I can always
take a rectal reading. (My mom told me that she didn't think it would be
sensitive enough after she read that one.)

    What's this --------------------------------------------------->
    Position 69.


    Bleh.  It's not creativity; It's stupidity.
