This has no relation to morality or anything like that, but I want to help the women understand why men are attracted to the women they are, and stuff like that. It's not meant to justify anything, just to help spread a little understanding of how the male brain works.
I'm also looking at humans as a form of animal here, so some may be insulted by that.
Anyway, basically men and women come together for breeding. This is the same as with all animals. However, there are a few things about human males and females that factor into choosing a mate and breeding.
One is that a woman has the most committment to having children. A man can theoretically (and unfortunately too often in practice) simply impregnate a woman in a matter of minutes, and be gone. A woman has at least nine months to bring out the child. Because of this, a man could technically have more than one wife, to improve his chances of having more offspring. This is the way it works with many mammals in the animal world. The alpha male takes many females because he is the strongest male and will give the best chance for survival of the female animal's offspring. The same thing has happened in other cultures of mankind, and was acceptable. It's more rare that it would be acceptable for a woman to have more than one mate.
Women want to find a male that can provide them with the time and resources to raise a child, so women subconsciously place more importance in things such as how successful he is and how much of a leader he is (this is general, there are plenty of exceptions due to our society and stuff but this is how it seems to work.)
Men, on the other hand, place more importance on appearance and youthfulness. This seems shallow to women, but it's just different. Since a man can be with many different women, it's best to have young ones that have not yet had children, and have a better chance of raising kids successfully.
The problem comes with civilization. The roles of males and females are not static in the human world vs. the animal world, and we value other things than just physical strength. This is why you'll see a beautiful woman with an old rich guy for example. Also, our emotions based on our social structures have changed things. That's why we have things like monogamy, when it's not in the best interest for the man. We've overcome many of our instincts, for better or worse, but we're still attracted to others based loosely on our animal instincts.
So, the women in the Victoria's Secret show are not the average woman. It's true, they do have breast implants and starve themselves to look thin. They also wear lots of makeup and get other things done to make themselves look more youthful and sexy. There's nothing wrong with that, any more than wearing lipstick is a bad thing. Things like lipstick and blush were first used to appear to have a youthful sexiness. When women get sexually excited, their cheeks often get blushed and their lips get a little more coloured.
Makeup is an attempt to mimic this sexual reaction in an attempt to lure a mate. That became socially acceptable, even though it is not the reality of how a woman looks. Being thin is mostly socially acceptable, as are breast implants. The morality of this is up to the individual. One woman may find it degrading to get breast implants and prefers to keep what she has naturally, while another thinks it makes her look good and that it's acceptable. Both women are right, as it's up to them to decide what the right thing to do is.
Men have to make similar choices, although they are more subtle because women are not as fixated on the physical being as men are. In our society it's usually something more like, "Do I want to give up on going out with friends to stay at home with my wife?" or "Do I want to give up sports to please my wife?" The sacrifices are not always the same but there are many things men do for women that is an inconvenience and sometimes a major personality change in order to accomodate a relationship with a woman.

I don't see what the big fuss is over the show. U.S. TV is too prudish anyway. If I were a parent, I'd rather let them see breasts all over the TV instead of crap like COPS where you see people shooting each other.
In any case, people who get upset about those sorts of shows should just change the channel. It's supposed to be a free country.

A woman was sitting at a bar, enjoying an after work cocktail with her girlfriends, when an exceptionally tall, handsome,extremely sexy, young man entered. He was so striking that the woman could not take her eyes off him.
The young man noticed her overly attentive stare and walked directly toward her. Before she could offer her apologies for staring so rudely, he leaned over and whispered to her,"I'll do anything, absolutely anything, that you want me to do, no matter how kinky, for $20---on one condition."
Flabbergasted, the woman asked what the condition was. The young man replied, "You have to tell me what you want me to do in just three words."
The woman considered his proposition for a moment, then slowly removed from her purse a $20 bill, which she pressed into the young man's hand, along with her address. She looked deeply into his eyes and slowly, meaningfully whispered .....
"Clean my house"

And did your $500 monthly phone bills have anything to do with the new Mrs. Mister P-Mosh?
Kathy
Precisely. I'm fortunate to have a decent job, but yes, the high phone bills were because of her. They rarely got up to $500 exactly, but averaged between $200 and $400 of just LD charges.

If you are getting a Cox cable connection, you might want to see if they have any special plans to make it cheaper.
For me, I get my digital cable tv, phone, and internet through them, along with HBO and Cinemax, and they give enough of a discount that I pay about $75 a month for all of that combined (excluding long distance and such.) Actually, I should look at my bills now that I won't have $500 phone bills anymore.

My wife wanted to see Frida, so we went on Saturday to watch the movie. It must be something for old people, because we were the only ones under 60 in the theatre.
Anyway, it was a decent movie, nothing too spectacular, if you are curious about the life of artist Frida Kahlo. There is nudity, (which is the main thing I enjoyed about the film) but not so much that you will think it's a porno or anything. The plot basically goes from her as a schoolgirl interested in art through her life with the famous painter Diego Riviera, to her death. It was quite informative on many things, and had some interesting artwork in it. It may have inspired me to start drawing again, but I'd sort of rather learn to paint instead.
Anyway, there's not much else out right now worth seeing so if you're hard up to watch a movie that won't be interrupted by crying babies and @$$holes with cellphones, it may be worth watching.

Originally posted by fortunateone:This quotation is taken from the section of the discussion by the Potions Master as he berates the students for their lack of knowledge of making drugs when adding ?powered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood.? This plant wormwood contains thujone, a hypnotic drug, which is banned by the FDA, and wormwood is used to make Absinthe, a hallucinogenic liqueur.
Absinthe is not illegal in the UK (where the books come from), and it's "technically" not illegal in the U.S as long as you don't sell it for human consumption. In reality, it's not even as harmful as eating a meal at KFC. Of course, the FDA often do stupid things, and are a big slow beaurocracy like the rest of the government. It may eventually become legal if someone pushes for it enough.

FORTUNATEONE to be out of TWI
I think parents who feel that everything their kids do needs to be educational should lighten up. Some things are just entertainment and for fun. I wouldn't try to justify seeing that movie for "learning" like in TWI. I'm not a parent, nor a Christian, but I wouldn't think that it would really be damaging to children old enough to read the books. I used to like watching "The Dukes of Hazzard" when I was a little kid, and did imitate them some, but never did anything dangerous, and it hasn't affected me in the long run in life.

I've already scanned in some of the wedding pictures, but I can't post them here for obvious reasons. None of the cake either though.
Anyway, thanks for the thread. We had a great time getting married and are doing well settling in together.
-
We got married and had a great time. Today is my first day back at work unfortunately, but I am happy to now have a wife.
-
I tried on the tux a little bit ago and I look like this:
Anyway, I am definitely looking forward to it (minus dressing up) and really want to go ahead and do it. Judging by how our relationship has been so far, I think things will go well with our marriage. We've always been able to talk and share our hearts with each other, and that seems to be the thing most couples have problems with.
Anyway, I'm going to go do some more packing and stuff so talk to you all later.

Well I just thought it was funny. I hear people that are (for the lack of a translation in English) pochos all the time around here and it's funny because I can understand English, I can understand Spanish, but I can't really understand the mixture of the two.
There was a Puerto Rican woman that attended fellowship with my family years ago, one of the most friendly people I've ever met. I do wonder if she's still in or not, now that I think about it. I suppose I could use the friend tracker forum for it's true purpose but I don't want to reveal who I am to any WayGB types that might be lurking.

It's sort of a "thanks for working hard" gift from the VP of my company that I work for. A bunch of us from work are going, and this is an extremely non-PC company. I expect the remarks from my coworkers to be at least as entertaining as the antics on the screen.

If you have an spare month you should read the "updated" EULA (end user license agreement (that thing that you have to acknowledge that you have read and understood before you can install just about any piece of software on the planet, but that nobody ever really reads save lawyers and ubernerds)) that is included with service pack 1 for XP. It basically says that Microsoft can, at any time, alter your operating system and or the software on your computer. Hospitals can't use SP1 because of the new EULA. It contradicts other EULA's that they are bound to by law.
The new one is just scary enough for Holloween...
Of course, my EULA to gain access on my computer says that whoever connects waives their right to do that, plus it gives me the ability to charge whatever amount of money I want as a fee for using my resources.

I am starting to not like ZoneAlarm. It's easy to set up and everything, but if you use it on a LAN it prevents file sharing from working, unless you set it on the lowest security settings. I was using Norton Firewall, but it crashed too much and slowed down my computer a bit more than ZoneAlarm.

Server backups are usually best on tape then. I've worked with quite a few different types of backup tapes and systems. In fact, had this been three years ago I could have gotten you two DLT tape libraries (hold either 8 or 10 each) with a drive in each of them for $50.
Anyway, if I were to buy a backup tape drive for my server at home or at a small business, I'd probably go for a DDS3 DAT drive. I believe those hold 12GB a tape, and they're pretty cheap considering. They're also small, which means you can take them home and put them in a safety deposit box if you don't want to spend money on an off site backup vault. Or you can mail them pretty easily.

On my Windows XP computers, it's simple. I occasionally write out the entire C:Documents and settings directory to a CD (I don't store music there though.) My MP3's I put on CD as well, mostly beecause I have a portable MP3 player. I also transfer the MP3s to the other XP computer so I can listen to them there. It's easy and inexpensive to burn CDs and that's usually the way to go.
On my linux box, I regularly use Samba to copy over the contents of /home (and /usr when I make changes to it) to a special directory on my WinXP desktop and back that up to CD at the same time I get the Documents and Settings directory.
As far as making a bootable image, I think it's fairly worthless as most companies that sell PCs give you one when you buy the PC. I generally just go by that, and then install my extra programs from CD, and then whatever downloaded stuff and data I have in the Documents and Settings directory on CD. It takes me less than an hour to completely restore everything, so it's not too bad.
I do think stuff like RAID is really overkill for a computer at home. I would do it if I ran a server or something, but not for something that I use to play games and surf the internet.

Don't forget that you can go into the event viewer to see if anything suspicious is happening. It usually records reboots and such.
Click on the Start menu, settings, open up the control panel. In there click on the administrative tools icon, and open the program called Event Viewer. Look for the lines in there that are a red circle with white X's in them. Those are the errors you would probably most want to look into.

Heh, I haven't heard that one yet.
Anyway, thanks. I have been looking forward to this for over a year and a half. Well, actually longer because I had been thinking about proposing for a couple years, but we had been engaged for a year and a half.

I'll be having my 0th wedding anniversary next week (actually, it will be the (1/365)th I suppose, but anyway, I'm nearly prepared for it.

If you run Windows XP, click here and download the XPdite program. It appears that Microsoft's "Help Center" can be used to delete all the files on your system.
I tried out the bug by creating a directory called test, then made a URL that used the help center program to the test directory, and it wiped out all the files in that directory.

Thanks!
I think Windows Update does a fine job of taking care of that for Windows security problems, however Windows Update doesn't cover other things. If you run stuff like AOL instant messenger, KaZaA, etc. then any security problems in those will not be fixed by the Windows Update.
Personally, I run CNet's Catchup program (I believe the URL is http://catchup.cnet.com) and it does both security and version audits so I have all the patches and the most current versions of the software.
Does Victoria really keep Secrets?

I was actually going to bring that up, as well as men that stay home, but work called.
Anyway, I didn't really want to bring up the morality of it there, just try to explain to a certain degree why men prefer the young skinny girls over average women.
As far as Victoria's Secret goes, those models are mostly what gay men think straight men would like. I prefer women that have a little more meat on their bones.
