        Okay, but just because we will sacrifice a few dogs doesn't mean you
have to eat them.

        I sit here and think. Strong desires and emotions overcome me.
Desires for one close to me. Emotions for someone I shouldn't have. The
taste of strong black coffee bitters my mouth, and I change to carbonated
caffeine. Anything to keep me up and awake. If I get tired, I'll go to bed.
I'll lie in bed in the darkness, thinking, and I'll see her again. I'll see
her, and want her, and fall asleep and make love to her in my dreams, and
wake up in a cold sweat feeling guilty again. The ringing in my ears is
starting to drown out my thoughts now. Good. I never thought I would welcome
a headache. If I only had a stomach for alcohol. Oh, well. Usually when I
fall asleep with a headache, I have nightmares about my relatives. I
generally try to avoid these, but tonight I'll make an exception. Coffee and
Coke do not mix. I'm finding this out now. Why must I want her so badly?

Are you having some sort of problem? It was a good little story, but it
sounded personal. -=*) ANN (*=-

  I think we should have a sudden death finale to the contest. The very next
entry will be the last one judged and if there is no entry the contest never
ends. Just a suggestion. Cliff can do whatever he wants of course.
  See You Later,

  Now that they have recognized that the First Amendment applies to
conservatives, maybe someone can get them to notice the Second Amendment.

Re:  "  Why should anyone get awards, glory, laud and honor for their beauty
because they happened to be born that way?  Why not?"

Hey, if beauty contests are your thing, go for it.  I won't object.  But
I told you my opinion and what I think about them.  Live and let live.

Re:  "I never said that an ugly woman could win a beauty contest Bob. I am
merely
pointing out that physical appearance is but one part of the whole, and no
ravishing beauty that couldn't display the rest of the qualities ever won
one either.

Well, it would seem we agree on the above.  Please excuse me if I don't
watch the girls parade by.

Re:  "If God were to judge a beauty contest, He'd, no doubt, pick the one
who looked the most like a cave woman."

Well, I don't agree with that, but I bet Eve was a real beauty.  Adam too
for that matter.

Re:  "The rise in
rape (and other crime) couldn't possibly have anything to do with the fact
that the number of criminals jailed has been dropping since the 60s."

Hey, I can relate to that.  There was a time when men were executed for
rape.  There weren't any repeat offences back then.  Now-a-days the rape
victim is subjected to incredible harassment right in the court room while
the rapist is turned loose to rape again and again.  It's a sorry system.

No Ann, women don't need beauty pageants to be successful. Neither do they
need wealthy parents, or rich husbands to put them through college and
support them while they strive in their chosen careers. But those things
sure do help, and if a woman has what it takes to capitalize on the beauty
pageant route to fame and fortune, why not? It is only degrading to you
because you make it so, and refuse to recognize the benefits that are
realized through such competition.

        I see we need something desperately to talk about!

Gorbachev asks China to help alter socialism, and SPUR Democracy....? I see
they are giving their people more freedom, while here in the West, they are
reducing our freedoms.  I see a plot to move us closer to one world
Government, and before that can happen the peoples of the world need to be
on a more equal footing.

        Population could reach 14 billion by year 2100....  Hmmmm We need a
'Limited' Nuclear WAR!  (Easy fix)  But where?

        If you have a better subject, toss it out on the floor (screen)
right now.

        We had a favorite place to go for quick meals, mostly breakfast.
Now they have gone and redecorated the place with a country kitchen flare,
and painted all that natural red wood... ICE PINK!
I was happy the way it was.

        Who else likes to eat out, and what is your favorite spot?
