Of course there are also romantic German phrases. Starting with
a simple "Ich mag' Dich." (I like you). Then you can say "Ich liebe
Dich." (I love you). It's funny that we don't have a nice translation
for "hug". The only thing we can say is "Umarmung" which means
"putting your arms around".

Of course we can say "Would you like to go to bed with me?" by using
"Moechtest Du mit mir schlafen?" 

A last very funny example for the use of capital letters in German
(that's also a point why I love the English language, everything
is written small..) Look at these two sentences:
   Ich habe liebe Genossen.
   Ich habe Liebe genossen.
The first one means "Ich have dear companions." The other one: "I have
enjoyed love."

Kai.

NOT.  Actually, when I was in Germany a young French lady I knew said
this to me while I was in the company of my wife and friends.  She
wanted to have a go at me, but I was the only one at the table who
didn't understand!  I mean, I remembered the song, but somehow I went
through high school without anyone telling me what it meant (I studied
Japanese, not French).  I just proves that I can be oblivious of a pass
in any language ;-) .

Others have written about this so I will throw in my own .02 . You can
make up your own nickname if you wish, you can be dubbed one and if
you like it you can use it...you can have as many  names as you want

Absolutely true! No permission needed. BUT (yeah, the ever present

possible subthreads and so on, mail me so I can update the list and
mail it out to all the others. Not necessary at all, just a

**Serious Mode "ON"**

Following are some lyrics to a song I recently heard 
that expresses how I feel sometime about my SO....

--------
               Water From The Moon

[Verse 1]
I've looked everywhere I can to just find a clue,
Oh, How to get to you,
and Make you want me.

And I've run circles 'round the sun chasing after you,
Oh, but it's no use,
Can't you see that.

I'm going out of my mind trying to find a way
To get through to you,
Oh, you don't know how hard I try,

And I try and I try,

[Chorus]
What do I gotta do?
Do I gotta get Water from the Moon
Is that what I gotta do
To make you love me,
Make you love me.

Do I gotta turn the Sand into the Sea
Is that what you want from me,
I've done everything that I can do,
But get Water from the Moon.

[verse 2]
I've reached high up in the sky trying to Steal the Stars,
Oh, to win your heart,
But even that's not enough.

And I've searched every book just to find the words,
To touch your world
And get some love out of you.

I've already given all I can give
And I don't,  I don't know
What's left to try,

and I try and I try,

**CHORUS**

[Bridge]

Love Me........
How do I make you love me,
How do I make you see that
I'm going out of my mind,

and I try and I try, and I try,

**Chorus**

Do I gotta get Water From The Moon?

Subject: Siobhan and the NightMare
Keywords: with respect due to Piers Anthony
Date: 16 Oct 92 08:48:36 CDT



(Alwir reached out to touch Siobhan's hand)...

Siobhan stood, transfixed, in front of Alwir, anticpatine the
feel of his touch, waiting for the warmth of his hand to 
close over hers.  The setting sun shone through his hair,
turning its darkness a fiery reddish hue.  The moment between
the two of them seemed to stretch to hours as time held them 
captive.

Alwir's hand closed over her own, his touch sending a jolt
through Siobhan's entire body.  Her slender frame shook with
it, almost sending her to her knees.  Alwir, too, seemed 
ultra-aware of each of his own emotions as it coursed through
him.  He seemed to tremble, partly from the overload of 
sensations he was currently having, but also because he was
so very unused to dealing with other people...much less one
that looked like Siobhan, who made him feel the way he did
right now.

Finally, the last sliver of the sun settled beneath the 
horizon.  As the twilight became darkness, Siobhan gasped
suddenly, and pulled her hand away from Alwir, not 
noticing his surprised and hurt expression.  

The sun!  It had set!  Siobhan was filled with an instant
and instinctual fear.  She had to run...to get away from
here.  Quickly, before Alwir saw.  She had to be able to 
explain what was going to happen to her, before he saw it
take place right here.

Siobhan did the only thing she thought she could do - she
turned on her heel and fled.  Running from Alwir was not
what she had intended upon doing.  She had wanted to sit with
him, talk, and get to know him.  Understand him.  And also,
to simply look at him, get her fill of the vision of him.
But the change was almost upon her, so although it was 
breaking her heart, she knew she must leave him...for now.

As she ran, her fear became inexplicable ecstasy.  The change
always had this affect on her.  She tore through the meadow,
fleeing the watching eyes of Alwir, and ran down a small hill.
She knew that now, no one could see her, so she let the change
overcome her.  

Her form began to blur, to fade, to become almost transparent.
Siobhan's two feet pounded the earth in rhythm, each footfall
sounding fainter and fainter.  She seemed to become larger, 
the smokiness of her form spreading out, taking another shape.
The exhiliaration she was feeling made Siobhan laugh aloud as
she raced through the tall grass.  But, anyone within earshot
would not have heard the laugh of a young woman, but instead 
the joyful whinnying of a horse, and might have sworn they 
saw a golden brown mare, with an impossibly white mane,
galloping through the field.  

Siobhan had become the NightMare.

She cantered to a stop near a small running brook, dipped her
head and took a long cool drink.  The water was delicious, 
tasting somewhat like a fine white wine.  But, she could not 
linger here...the pull of her amulet tugged at her with a 
force she could not deny.  Her instincts told her she had to
find it.  Whoever held her amulet this night, would soon be
visited by the NightMare.

There is nothing like a storm... and you are right the fireworks aspect of
the lightning is a large part of the exhileration... to bring out the MOST
kitten-like mannerisms in this gypsy... cuddled up close enough to a warm

Agreed.  Took me a while to learn these, but here they are:

Rules to live by:

	1.  Never get involved with a married person.
		- single: ok
		- divorced: ok
		- separated: questionable
		- married: NEVER!

	2.  Never start a romantic relationship with someone
	    whom you work with on a daily basis.
		- too many complications...
		- note: working together after marriage may not
		  be such a bad thing, mind you...

	3.  Never pet a burning dog!
		- oops, how'd that one get there?????  :-)

Anyway, 'twas pretty good advice you gave, Mr. Ka-nig-it!

I have no idea where that expression does come from and I don't use
it. But I don't believe that it has a special meaning. I guess
it is used to show that you're impressed about something. But there
are also sayings in English that I don't understand. How the hell
