A pinup girl is usually a smiling face, pretty hair, and a loverly pair of fatty glands. You have no idea about what the girl is thinking, whats important to her, or anything like that. Shes just an image. nothing more, nothing less. An internet relationship is precisely the opposite. We exchange words, thoughts, information about eachother and what we do, and as a rule we have little if any idea what the others we communicate with even look like Take what you can from net relationships, and give what you can, but never forget that its impermanent and fleeting. One could say the same of most offline relationships. I personally know hundreds of people, but i don't think i'd run out of fingers and toes counting those outside of family who i've known for more than a decade who i could or would want to actually contact.	personthingy (1670)

Hide the side that gets blue. If you have nine sons in a row. Baseball teams make money, You know! Keep your funny side up,up! Let your laughter come through, do! Stand up on your legs; be like two fried eggs; Keep your sunny side up.	Terry Porritt (14)

441215	2006-03-28 08:45:00	You may not be alone T......... www.musicforte.com That's for sure. Keeping with the cheer-up mode, I was just listening to Fred Astaire tap dancing on a 78rpm recording, well, we have to assume he was actually tap dancing, and not clacking two coconut shells, after all we can't actually see what was happening on a record, not like a DVD :) Another popular tap dancer of the day was Bill "Bo Jangles" Robinson, a coloured entertainer. The whole of Harlem turned out for his funeral in 1949. He tap danced his way over many 78 rpm records, like this one with Irving Mills Hotsy Totsy gang Ain't Misbehavin' (www.redhotjazz.com).

Will we become so anti life, that we never leave home eventually??? never work? never socialise? :illogical beetle You will note that I said the opposite of your comments. At the same time it is the world we live in. The answer is to get out and about.Meet people of like mind. We are not automatons,so it is up to us.	Cicero (40)
