Jester is even better than Joker - as you say it fits the castle theme as well

indeed increasing the expire on that one group would not be a problem
but the newsadmin round here is not known for his reasonableness. I've
decided that hassling him about the modems and dial up access is more
important than hassling about expires so I'm setting up a task to copy
all the articles evry 12 hours into my own directory - that'll solve
the problem.

	Well, it looks as if this is my last month on the computer
here...  Since I am not a student, I cannot have an account.  I don't
know if they will respond to my letter in time aboutkeeping it (I am
planning to go this semester if I can.  Is it too late?) and
therefore, I will consider my last posting date right by Hallowween.
I will miss you all.  I wish it didn't have to end like this...  and
to think, all my data in my account will be lost forever...  Sigh...

A few months ago, I bought my girlfriend an eternity ring (We'd been going
out for 18 months). We got it for her "wedding" finger as I recalled that
I thought that was where it was meant to go. I.e. Eternity then
engagement then wedding rings. Soon after a couple of people said that
that finger was only for engagement/wedding rings. Intrigued and slightly
worried, I asked around a bit more. Opinions seemed to vary and there was
no clear concensus of opinion. My mother claimed eternity rings should
go on that finger. In the end, there wasnt any choice anyway as the ring
only fitted that finger. And besides, who cares what anybody else thinks.
(Also, it may act as a deterrent whilst she's away ;-) ).

Anyway. To the point... Does anybody have a DEFINITIVE answer to the question
of usage of rings and fingers? Not that it would make much difference.

There are only two months left before the happening of the TygerBoink
in California, so this is just a reminder for people who may not have
seen the original notice.

I will post once more on November 4th, and then all information will
be taken to email.

For those of you who don't know what a "TygerBoink" is, it's a
gathering of several people (in this case, from all over the world)
who just want to have a good time!!  Hope you can come.

********************************************************************
Information:

When:   December 5-6 (Saturday/Sunday)
Where:  Silicon Valley, California 

If you are interesting in coming, or interesting in being kept up to
date on the information, please send email to Mary, CaliChat Sex'y
(epperson@pop.stat.purdue.edu) before November 4th.  I will post one
last notice at that time listing the final information, and repeating that
is the last post.  At that point, all information will go to email.
This email message will go out the following day.

I also want to thank Tyger, Lari, Diana and Nina, who have given me 
some support, and helped out: Thanks ladies!!

If you live in the Bay Area, and will be able to put up a few tired
travelers for the week-end, please let me know.  I still need a few
more places for people to sleep at.

One last note: if you live in L.A. and would like to share a ride with
someone, let me know and I'll try to coordinate the rides from there.
I'll do what I can to help out!!

Do you have the right to be angry about this? Yes. Generally, you have
the right to feel any way you want about anything. Do you have the
right to get back at them? No. Neither of them really betrayed you. I
would tell them individually that I was angry at the turn of events,
and leave it at that. That is, tell them how you feel, but don't accuse
or act as though you expect them to do anything about it.  If you feel
strongly about it, you aren't going to be able to hide you feelings.
Getting them out in the open will make it easier to get this behind
you, and get on with your friendship.

Well in these types of cases (if there are no metabolic reasons) often there
are some underlying emotional issues not being dealt with.  Many people
put on weight to literally insulate themselves emotionally. For some,
these emotional issues revolve around some fear(s) about being intimate
emotionally with another. In other words, it's like saying unconsciously
"If I put on weight, then I won't be as attractive which means I won't have
to deal with this intimacy stuff." For others, it may be undealt with
emotions about *anything* that may feel unhappy about and often feel
helpless to do anything about.  A job. Finances.  Etc.  Putting on 
weight can, in other words, be a defense mechanism.  I think this is
usually the case when someone *wants* tp lose weight and yet cannot
get themselves to do so.  There conscious mind is in conflict with their
unconscious.

Well, it depends on what you mean by fun. It's probably not fair to her
boyfriend to get emotionally involved with you. If she was your girlfriend,
you would want to be able to trust her, wouldn't you? How could you trust
her if you know she had betrayed her last boyfriend? It's best to keep it
'just friends' until she breaks up with her current boyfriend.

On the other hand, if you mean she won't enjoy even the most harmless sort
of fun, then you need to convince her that there is no harm in it. Be
patient and act like a friend and she should get the idea.
