Well, like the ole Mikey Jackson song says, "I'm starting with the man
in the mirror...."

As far as complete honesty is and having 'nothing' to hide is
concerned, I don't think that is such a good idea...  If you knew
everything about your partner, where would the little surprises and
spontaneity come from?

So now the problem becomes, how do we break down those walls?  Which
walls do we even *want* to break down?

Any takers?

hmmm... just a thought...

(fade into rhyming mode...)

'Twas the night before Christmas,
and all through the house,
not a creature was stirring,
not even the mouse (Microsoft 2-button).
The boys were **finally asleep**,
all snug in their beds,
while visions of bikes, radios, and remote-controlled cars,
danced in their heads.
The stockings where hung,
by the fireplace with care,
stuffed with candy and toys,
(Santa had already been there).
And I at my keyboard,
modem ready, phone line free,
settled down for a quick read
of the wonderful group ARC.

All at once a cry rang out,
after a CASTLE story (long),
I had to read it a again,
to see what was wrong.
And what to my wonderous eyes did appear
but a lonely Aussie lady
somewhat lacking of good cheer.

She was apart from her man,
her **true love**???, she didn't say,
but it was obvious from her writing,
that he was too far away.

Be happy, I thought
that you have someone to miss!!
But it would sound real insensitive
if I were to say this.

I thought back to the times, 
When I've felt the same way,
If the Time Lord could take me
to myself what would I say?

I could say to myself,
that this I will make it through,
My current existence,
proves that to be true.

But what would be of comfort,
while anxiously counting each day,
I puzzled for a moment,
then I knew what I'd say :)

What matters most isn't the distance
that physically keeps you apart,
What matters is the closeness,
which you feel in your heart.
the pain and the lonelies,
will soon pass away,
as time marches foward,
towards the magic 0 day.

Fill your days with simple pleasures,
and sights great and small,
Store those good memories safely,
til its time to share them all,
with he whom you long for,
and I'm sure longs for y'all.

(apologies to the real poem)

Take care all, but especially those who are apart from family,
or friends, or their one **true love**.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS :)

that is true , jojo, that is the way things *should* be. Meaning,
honesty, trust and the open sharing of feelings are necessary to a
healthy relationship. Sure, some people put up walls to keep from
getting hurt...a common self defense mechanism. Hard to let others
through the walls after a while.

	Tina smiles happily.  Cuddling close, she holds
you tight, then begins kissing you gently, watching the firelight
reflected in your eyes.  "I'm so glad you were standing by that
Chocovat", she whispers softly in you ear.

	The night is slowly filling up with sound - the crickets
are chirping, and they here an owl off in the distance.  Tina 
smiles, then resumes kissing you....

First off - Yes, I understand.  I'll admit to wondering
when I first started reading the story, but then I also
am privy to information that may not be commonly known,
namely that to my knowlege Aahz hasn't MET either Steve
or Julie (right, guys?), let alone been a roommate to
either one!

Mayhap in net.stories you should use non.net.names to
avoid confusing people?  I know you said you hadn't 
written it with the intention of posting it - no problems
there, but if you DO post it, a global name change might
be in order.

Second - could you have your news.system.admin check
your posting software?  It's setting the "From" line
to just your name - which is NOT going to get you any
replies.  Either you need to add (or have the SysAd add)
a reply-to line, or you need to be sure the e-mail 
address is in the From line...or something.
