Without Imagination, this world would get pretty damned boring. The
trick is to know when you're thinking fantasy or not. Too many people
can't separate it. They use their imagination and then let it run their
life. Imagination is a tool we all have, (Hey) it's kind of like a
Snap-On tool....comes with a lifetime warranty. (shrug). I know, that
was lame.
By the way, I like that statement....."Imagination should be exercised,
not exorcised." Cute!

So they don't think your souls worth saving, eh? They probobly don't
think you even have a soul. They probobly walked away mumbling that
you were just a disciple of Satan testing them. Good God (no pun
intended). The propaganda they left me was full of pictures of family
picnics with all sorts of animals wandering around the tables....
children running and playing in this utopia. (grimace) Give me a break!
One lady actually had the nerve to direct her merry little speech at
my son, who was 5 at the time. He listened with big eyes as she talked
about Heaven on Earth, ect, ect.
My son attends a Baptist Church and it confused him. I don't confess to
know much about religion so I can't knock 'em out like you do. I wish
I could have said something "smart" to her, though....
Personally, I think there should be a law against door to door salesmen
and that includes people trying to sell religion.
If a salesman calls me on the phone, it really pisses me off...., it's
like walking into your front room without knocking.

well, I just feel (and my husband is proof, to me) that a man can
be dominant without being dominating (as in overbearing,ect).
I admire a strong man. And most of the women I know do too. Maybe I

I agree (Yick) with you. I prefer a one on one conversation to posting.
I enjoy body language, something lacking in posting or "chat mode".
It's easy to misunderstand a post without hearing the tone of someones
voice. BUT! It's easier to post certain things when you are basically
anynomous (so my spelling sucks, sue me). It's easier to start a
conversation and it's easier to recover from sticking your foot in your
mouth (something I do often). A shy person could post messages where
they might not be able to have a open conversation with a stranger.
And it gets pretty strange around here........

I believe in euthanasia, too. It's a hard subject to debate because both
sides are right. It's like the abortion debate.
If a person is suffering mentally and physically and there's no chance
for improvement, then I can understand why they might want to end their
life. If it were me, and someone MADE me live against my will......
what kind of life could I have?
I don't believe in this "suicide machine" thing, though. Euthanasia
should be performed in a controled environment by qualified physicians.
Not in some van in a driveway.........
Not much of a comparison, but I used to work for a veteranarian. We used
to council people with old pets before they had them put to sleep. It
was very hard for them to let go. But in many cases (well, in all cases)
the animals quality of life was nil and once the people realized that
they were hurting their pet more by letting it suffer, they would
tearfully agree. It was sad, but at the same time, it was the last act
of love. They said their goodbyes then the animal quietly went to sleep.
It didn't suffer like it would have if it had just been left to slowly
die day after day.

At least your friend was willing to talk it out and thank god she called
you. I wouldn't commit suicide (even if my life depended on it....sorry
pun was uncalled for) because of what it would do to my friends and my
family (not to mention what it'd do to ME!). I don't understand to this
day WHY she didn't call..... she had several on line support people at
the hospital she could have talked to. She could have called me. God,
I hate remembering this........
I actually resented her for doing it. First time I've ever admitted

>I myself have contemplated suicide...
Really? You know, I've wanted for a long time to talk to someone who
was in the midst of actively considering killing himself--not
necessarily out of any noble aspirations, but because I don't "get"
the mindset you'd have to be in to do something like that. It's kind
of an alien state of mind to me--I don't grok it, I don't under-
stand it, so I'd like to talk to someone who was actually IN it
to see what it's like. Pardon the lack of sensitivity, but
it's hard to sympathize with someone when you have absolutely no
handle whatsoever on what's going through his mind.

Of course there are--but they're less common, since you can read cues
into what the other person is saying. On a BBS, it's difficult to tell
sometimes when the other person is joking, or being sarcastic, or
whatever. I can think of at least one major blowup that happened right
here on A/R (betwixt Angel and Max) that was 100% the result of such
a misunderstanding.

Ding ding ding! That's why so many BBS's don't allow handles and think
that handles would only be used by immature little twits--you go to
a system where most of the users are teenagers or below that
allows handles and all you see is little kids swearing at each other.
It's unfortunate, because there are a lot of otherwise reasonable people
who as a result will not call any system that allows handles. Same
goes for setting up "adult" areas on a BBS--in many cases, it's doomed
to fail. (Give people the right to say what they want and you'll find
many people have nothing to say but insist on saying it in the crudest,
most vulgar way possible). Oh well...I'm glad this system doesn't
suffer from those problems. There's always a counterexample, though.

I hope I never have an experience like that, but you're right. She
wasn't trying to kill herself, she knew she needed some help and
couldn't get her parents to listen to her. I believe that if she was
not taken seriously, she would have made sure that she would have
succeeded. BTW, that wasn't the last of her attempts. Usually, I'd

STOP THAT! I MEAN IT! No one, and that includes you, can take the blame
for something they had no control over. You could only help her as
much as SHE would let you. You couldn't make her put into action
whatever you advised her to do or not to do. If she lacked the strength
to do what she knew was right than how can you be responible? You
couldn't really impart strength. You could only give support, nothing
more. Try comparing it to your children and, let's say, a rainy day.
You're children want to go out and play, but they can't because it's
rainy out. Now, they look to you to fix the weather. You can't.
Yes, I'm sure, you feel bad for the children, but are you to blame for
the weather? Of course not. In the same way you're not to blame for
her taking her own life.
If she had called you, which you're not sure if she did or not, if you
had turned her away, then maybe, you could feel partly responible.
But you can't be expected to sit home every night in case she called.
You did your best. You did more than most people would have. Maybe
your guilty of caring too much, but beyond that, NO WAY!

Crimes of Passion has kind of a lame plot in places but the real
playoff is that Anthony Perkins plays a real twisted sicko street
preacher that is out to "save" the whores - espoecially China Blue
(Kathleen Turner). The movie is very unique in that the sordid
scenes are very realistic - like the room with peep holes where
guys can watch the stripper dance - or people make love.
The scene where the business man and his wife pick her up for
a threesome is kinda contrived but funny. There are a lot of
s
small scenes that make this a really good movie.

We TRS-80 hackers used hex, too, except for when the machine was first

Memory Size? _
that appeared on power-up; it's BASIC asking how much high memory to
protect for interrupt routines and the like. If you were using
KBFIX (which I was, being one of the lucky ones who got one of the
original bouncy keyboards before Radio Shack fixed the problem) you'd
enter 32712 to protect 55 bytes of high memory for the debounce

Last I heard that expression went out with AmyDOS 1.2; 1.3 fixed a lot
of the problems and now programs like Gomf can intercept the odd stray
guru and prevent the system from going down in flames due to a stray
hiccup. AmyDOS 2.0 removes the guru completely (thank God)...like it
really matters now that Commodore's decided Unix V.4 and Open Look is
the way to go with their top-end machines.

Yeah, suicide COULD be an ethical discussion but it would always bring
back bad memories for anyone who's had a close encounter with it.
Whether directly or not. If you've ever attempted suicide, it's got to
have been a very dramatic memory and if you
have ever had a loved one who tried or suceeded suicide, well, that's
pretty tramatic too.
I wish I could understand what people feel when they get that desparate

I had a Model 1 with 16k of RAM and all my friends only had 4k. I was
big stuff back then!!
I was amazed to get a sealed bid notice forwarded to me from the GSA

You REALLY wanna hear this????
Ok, here goes. After my father died, I took his gun collection down to
the Bullet Hole in Sarasota to be sold on consignment. Well, after about
a week, the Bullet Hole called me and said they had a buyer. So I hopped
in my Camaro (you know the one, blazing down mainstreet squealing tires)
and went to Bullet hole. The guy at the counter told me to stand by and
he'd cut me a check. While I'm standing there waiting (spending the
money in my head) This BIG guy walks in the front door and eyeballs me.
He (very nonchalontly) walks up by me. He's got this look on his face,
nervous somehow. The other guy walked out of the back room and nodded to
him, so this big guy grabs me by the shoulder. What did I do? Well, what
do you think.... I kicked the shit out of his knee and pulled away.
Suddenly there's cops everywhere and the BIG guy has me bent over the
counter and cuffed. "You have the right to (bullshit speech).
I'm standing there with my nose flattened against the glass counter,
staring at dead rattlesnakes and this guy is breaking my arms.
That's no exageration. He finally decided to introduce himself, Detectiv
Fairmont, or Fairchild, hmmmm. something like that. On the way out the
door, I'm yelling "what did I do???"
He stuffs me in the car and on the way to the station he's real quiet,
ignoring my questions.
Turns out, one of the guns in my Dad's collection was "hot". When they
checked it, seems it had been stolen from a guy who had been murdered
during the robbery. The dead guys wife had told the cops that one of the
perpetrators (sp) was a woman.
Didn't take long to clear things up but what a trip that was. I didn't
get much of an apology either. "Er, Sorry for the mix up, Mam."
Then they kept me for hours (and my mom) trying to find out who my dad
got the gun from.
