Well, someday, maybe. I hope he spends another year at Illinois. George

Gee, now I feel as though I'm missing out on all the underground PM-ing! Either no one cares what I think, or it's all about me! :D George

It is. Go, Raf! George

Well, THAT was unpleasant! USC played a great game. Even if all the goofy ball hops hadn't gone their way, and if the Illini hadn't fumbled the ball twice inside the USC 5, Southern Cal would probably have won. It should have been a lot closer, though. It's a long wait until next season, but at least I have something to look forward to, unlike the last few years. I think the Illini will have lost the element of surprise, though. George

DS9, obviously. I remember a time travel episode, where Sisko replaces an activist who was killed. I don't know if that's enough info. (I thibnk it was the one where Dax is also lost back in the same time period. Kira and O'Brien eventully find them.) George

Four pics George

You got it, Sharon! Nice to see you around here again! George

Buddy Ebsen's longevity was particularly impressive, considering he nearly died in the production of "The Wizard of Oz." Originally cast as the Tin Man, the "costume" they used was basically sprayed-on aluminum powder. He nearly died from inflammation of the lungs. He was replaced by Jack Haley (whose makeup was fortunately of a different composition) without much fanfare. George

I would have to concur that Suda has it. I'll be gone most of today, so I can wait for her to post. George

"We're here to say goodbye to a cherished friend: Lamont, the goldfish." "I've always felt safe with him around." "So you don't want another child?" "There's times that I don't even want the ones we have." "Where are you going dressed like that?" "School." "What? Is it scarecrow day?" George

There are two kinds of people at GS Those that group people into two categories, and those that don't. Seriously, there are a lot of "flavors" of GS-ers, and as many past (and present) experiences with TWI. There are those who were physically abused. There are those who knew someone who was physically abused. There are those who heard of physical abuse. There are those who never heard of it and definitely never saw it. I was one of the last group (at least until I was here for a while), so I understand why some people have difficulty believing that stuff like that happened. In fact, even after being here, I asked many the Corps women I know what their experiences were in regard to sexual predation by leadership. Only one of then had a second-hand story that another Corps woman told her about advances from a Limb leader. I suspect that Pond is in the last category also. Howbeit, I do not discount the accounts from Rascal, Excathedra, and others. They have no reason to lie, and it's clear that they have suffered much. And more power to them for continuing to post, if it stops a single "innie" lurker from being preyed upon, or if it helps anyone else who suffered in like manner to heal. This post refers specifically to sexual abuses, but the categorization and analysis can be taken more generally as well. If you never suffered having your life micro-managed, or you never had to do things you belived were wrong for fear of being ostracized, then good for you! But don't call those who were so wronged liars or whiners. Somebody may be helped by thier accounts, even if it isn't you. George

five pics (three on second line) George

You oughta see her on a road course or a quarter mile This little modified Pon-Pon has got plenty of style George

"Kramer vs. Kramer"? The "beat my kids" line is the only thing I rermber from it! George

potato/head rogers boston ??? George Oh, wait... "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood"?

Apparently, we're in surf mode... "Get Around" by the Beach Boys George

I can never tell which one is Judy Landers and which one is Audrey, but it doesn't matter this time. Zoolander George

Al Capone wasn't a bad guy. Took care of his family and friends. All he was ever prosecuted for was tax evasion. George

1. and 2. I come and stay here because it's a place where I can share TWI experiences with others who have been there. It's interesting to see the WIDE range of TWI experiences, though. I also feel that I've made a lot of new friends here, even if I haven't seen their faces! 3. I'd leave if I felt I wasn't wanted. Or if I had to give Paw >10% of my income. 4. I read threads that look interesting and post when I think I have something to add. 5. I mostly post in the "game room" (Gallery and Reading Room). Boy, talk about people coming and going! Though there are a few diehards, a lot of people post once or twice and then disappear. 6. It's easier to post the areas I DO look at. About the Way, Open, the Prayer Room, and the Reading Room. I occasionally look at Doctrinal, Politics, Keep Your Eye on the Ball, State, and Friend Tracker. 7. Only Chevelles.com, which really isn't a forum site. I just miss my old '67. 8. Not really. Only if I'm away from a computer for a while. 9. No. I probably come more than in the beginning, since I now "know" so many folks. 10. Pretty good questions. George

I don't know if this had anything to do with my offer to SIT for you. That assumed that you would have told me you had a problem but wouldn't reveal its nature. Not much point in praying in the understanding, when you have no understanding of the problem! :) George

I watched a little of the Alamo Bowl. (Texas A&M is a local favorite.) The only one I really care about is the Rose Bowl. It would be nice to see Illinois actually win a big bowl game. George

Ayyyy! It must be "Happy Days." Students in a pre-1959 class. Ralph Malph's catch phrase (after he's told a silly joke) I'm guessing that that's "Arnold's" (Pat Morita) "real" name on the show. George

"O-bla-di, O-bla-da" (or however it's spelled). There's a man who leads a life of danger George

Yes. Babylon 5. You're up, Tom. George

Yep! George
