RE: would you like to be a moderator?

Ah, well, CJ. There really isn't a moderator job being offered, anyway, is there?

RE: would you like to be a moderator?

I'd like to be a moderator - not for the power to do anything to anyone, but rather for the opposite. I wouldn't be stopping conversations or deleting threads every time someone had a little tiff, that's for sure. I'd take a very laissez-faire approach.

RE: My Heart Is Really Breaking

My love's parents are also going through some scary health-times, LM. Your story touched me. I hope the best that can happen does - for you and your parents.

RE: pain and agony

Aaaaarrrrrggghhh! E, I can just imagine the pain...well, sort of. How long ago did you find her?

RE: Should you watch how you act in the forums!

Yeah... God, being self-employed I can only pray that I never check myself out, T!

RE: Should you watch how you act in the forums!

What kind of rites do you take part in, N?

RE: Ethnicity

No, but it is rather redundant (only need one "preferred").

RE: Should you watch how you act in the forums!

Hmmm...well, it's somewhat possible she may have a different opinion about that, Sweet.

RE: Why men say one thing and do another?

Thank you, my child.

RE: Why men say one thing and do another?

Ouch!

It would be nice if you could talk to him and he could speak honestly about what happened. That would help you find peace - more quickly. You'll find it anyway, but hearing the truth from him might expedite matters. I assume you tried to talk this over with him many times?

RE: Why men say one thing and do another?

Do what, exactly, I wonder...

Is it possible he turned gay?

RE: WE ARE F___KED!

That day is already LOOONNNGGG gone, Ooby. The USG is already bought and paid for. This bill will just acknowledge that - bring it more out in the open for the masses (which could be a good thing).

RE: Why men say one thing and do another?

It's copyrighted, so please send use-fee to my address. The 49.95 charge is, I'm sure you'll agree, modest and well-worth the investment.

RE: Why men say one thing and do another?

True, Dobe, I left out the very necessary psychological study of the human mind. You can't just look at female psychology; as a man, you've got to take a hard look at your own. You don't have much chance of understanding someone else until you've grappled with your own attitudes and beliefs.

RE: How do you feel about monogamy?

Such an inspiring combination of metaphor and moral probity.

RE: are we special

Good point.

RE: Why men say one thing and do another?

Oh...right. Sharing Neil D. is a prerequisite to true romance, Cherry!

RE: Your Happy Memories

I was just trying to get the poor girl's goat (and no, for those who've seen the movie - not to worry - I generally don't stare at them. At least not in *that* way).

RE: Your Happy Memories

That's the spirit, Nan. And I'll pass on the love by blaming Laura.

RE: Why men say one thing and do another?

True. I'm almost afraid to ask.

As if Norwegian-Ukrainian mixes aren't trying enough.

RE: are we special

God, no.

Why would being related to or caused by another being make one more special than the alternatives? Why would our specialness not be what we are as opposed to how we came to be?

RE: Why men say one thing and do another?

The "fuss" is what it's all about.

RE: Your Happy Memories

I think you nailed it, Nan. Except the part about the memories.

RE: Should you watch how you act in the forums!

I don't know. I don't think I've ever misbehaved or acted silly online.

RE: Your Happy Memories

And perhaps the worst pain is the death of a loved one. Should we erase that if it were possible?

At least a couple of science fiction novels and movies have made on the subject of erasing bad memories. In "Eternal Sunshine and the Spotless Mind," the protagonist (played by Jim Carrey) attempted to eliminate memories of a lost love. He eventually decided that wasn't a good idea, however. I think he was likely right.

Might seem like a good idea - virtually impossible to resist when you're suffering heartbreak - but there would be a price (and a steep one, methinks).

RE: Should you watch how you act in the forums!

Agreed, L.

But how one acts is of course a reflection on oneself - doubtless the most important "reflection," no?

I mean that the ultimate person we want to be loyal to is ourselves. But I admit that my conduct on CS, even in the beginning, was aimed at attracting a certain kind of person, so in a sense I was already in that "loyalty mode."

RE: Your Happy Memories

Are you offering to receive mine?

Seriously, I don't think I'd want to erase my bad memories. They're part of who I am, and I've learned from them.

RE: Your Happy Memories

I did understand you correctly, L.

At least on that point.

RE: Your Happy Memories

But to attempt to somehow prevent "bad memories" would be counterproductive, wouldn't it (even if it were possible, which of course it isn't)?
