I had pretty much the same experience as Little Toe. I've recently met up with some guys my age who want to start a D&D group, and wish to include me. I'm looking forward to playing again.

Dungeons and Dragons game & JW urban legends
by rebel8 indoes anyone remember this game from (i think) the early '80s?
it's a role playing game of some sort that included some violent imagery or something.. i remember jws (and the media, come to think of it) making a big, big deal of it.
something like it was demonized or made kids murder people.

How long is too long?
by Insomniac injust a question, for those who might know.
how long should you hang onto a relationship, when it's becoming undeniably clear that it's going nowhere?.

Just a question, for those who might know. How long should you hang onto a relationship, when it's becoming undeniably clear that it's going nowhere?
I'm so in love, with the most wonderful person I've ever known. He and I have been together for 6 1/2 years. After our first date, he told me he didn't want to see anyone else; I felt the same, so we've been exclusive from the first. We spend 3-4 days and nights per week together, but I still have my own apartment. He has a nice house, which he bought 4 years ago after I found it for him. I thought it would be for us together, but I guess not.
After a lifetime of loneliness and mismatches with guys I was incompatible with, I finally found someone who's like the other half of me. He's said that no woman has ever loved him as purely as I do, and that he never thought it possible to love someone as he does me.
Only problem is, he doesn't want to marry me. Everyone we know lives together, and I told him I seem to be the only person left on this earth who still believes in marriage. His reply: "Yup, apparently." He says marriage doesn't matter to him. I say, if it matters so much to me, how can it mean nothing at all to him? What if it is a meaningless piece of paper, which cannot possibly encompass the union we have? Fine, I say- do it just because it would make me happy. Jesus, I do everything for him, and this is all I ask. While I've been biding my time, waiting for the proposal I was so sure was coming, I've gotten so old, I doubt anyone else will ever want me.
Originally he told me the reasons he wasn't asking me to marry him were: His job was unstable because his supervisor hated him, and that he didn't have a home, just an apartment. So, his supervisor was transferred out of state and he got his supervisor's old job. Then I found him a house and got him a hell of a deal on it, as it belonged to an old friend of my dad's. Still no ring, no acknowledgement of any commitment.
How the hell can I walk away from someone I'm in love with? I can't do it, I just can't. At the same time, how can I stay, when I keep envisioning myself twenty years down the line, still in my damned spinster's apartment, still trying to explain to friends and family and self why we never wed? A stronger woman could have walked years ago, but I've allowed myself to sit for so long, my legs have atrophied so I can't move. Any time I broach the subject, he just says he's not ready. How do I walk away, and is it better to have what I have now, with no marriage, or to be out there all alone again? I spent most of my life being alone, and I just don't know if I could do it again. Nor could I ever envision being intimate with another man- and I mean this not just physically, but emotionally as well. I'm too damned old to start over.

assemlbly time passing tricks
by stopthepain inas a kid ,you could almost certainly kill time at an dc ,sad{as richie rich put it},or a the "2 day assembly" in many various ways.. this has probably been done before,but here we go.. 1--watch the audience as a whole,they almost lookm like ants or something,because thier was always people moving around.peole figiting,taking vigorous notes,people getting up and down for a walk,or a bathroom break,attendants barking at the teens to sit down.i used to find pleasur in watching everyon fidget as a group.. 2--watch the peole who where doing sign language for the deaf.i would always try to start matching words for signs.another way a 10 year old mind can wander.. 3--locate all friends of yours,chicks you have a bad witness boy crush on,obsess for a few hours,and how you can stalk the hot girls.. 4--what too eat{pre modern era}you know,lemon lime or cola shasta,apple or cheese danish,vanilla or chocalte swiss miss,hoagie or dri chicken w/mayo packet?????????
?descisions ,descisions!!!!!.
5---count each minute out in my head.there was a huge digital clock at the providence civic center.when the clock changed,i would try to count 60 seconds to an exact point the clock would change again.clock manipulation,a huge witness kid skill.you could will the cloock to move,or so you thought.. 6---think about what flavor slush i wanted at break,and wether i would buy the cheap binoculars,or the mini -fan.those toys would occupy my brain for hours.. 7---wait with baited breath for the drama.when those lights went down,,,,,,,,,,,sheer ecxtasy!!

I once spent a lovely two days sitting with a young bro I was hot for. We were both teens at the time, and he was sitting with his family, whereas I'd come all alone. The two of us whiled away the hours writing paragraphs describing all sorts of erotic stuff we wanted to do- it looked like we were such diligent note takers, scribbling furiously! Then, periodically, we'd exchange notepads, so we could each read what the other had written. By the time lunch rolled around, we were both so hot, bothered, and frustrated, as we never had an opportunity to be alone with each other. Very hot stuff, though.

Wicca information...
by Quentin inmy daughter renee wishes to practice wicca, as she feels it is where she needs to be spiritually.
this is serious business for herit is not a whim, or passing fancy.
she did some internet research and began observing some of the things she found: phases of the moon, burning certain candles for various situations and so forth.

She might also want to read Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner by Scott Cunningham. It covers most of the basics, is very non-dogmatic and practical, has a great list of other suggested readings to point her in the right direction, even a glossary. It's an excellent first book for someone who wants good, solid info about the Craft.

Like most here, I was terrified of demon attacks and torture.
I was told in great detail what the torture might involve, so I'd be prepared for it. To this day, I can't abide the smell of nail polish, as I was told I would be forced to drink it by my captors.

Men In The Girlie Department.
by Englishman inhow do other guys feel about going into women's clothes shops?.
i spent ages with her ladyship in the per una section of marks & spencers today.
i was quite happy to bumble about behind her and even managed to achieve some nonchalance while i was waiting for her to try stuff on in the changing rooms.

I'd be really uncomfortable having honey-bunny hanging around when I bought clothes. I send him elsewhere, so I can shop in privacy. Strangely though, I enjoy helping him pick out his own clothes. I think I don't like having him around is that he gets very critical, telling me all my choices are "dated,' "tacky," or his new fave expression "dubby."
Oh, and I would never have a man hold my purse! Guys, when your woman does that, she's just trying to see if she can make you do it- it's a way of showing who's boss, and of marking territory. Don't give in.

This is one of those movies that you either love, or you hate. I laughed my ass off each time I watched it; my bf thought it was stupid. My friend showed it to her family, and the same thing happened- half of them loved it, the other half just sat there.
Incidentally, I have a whole bunch of pictures of real live ligers that I took several years ago at a ren faire. Now I can't look at them without solemnly intoning "they're bred for their skills in magic."
"Napoleon, you know I'm training to be a cage fighter!"

Would you date or marry outside of your race?

how would you feel if your children dated or married outside of their race?.

Heck, I'm not racially pure myself- as near as we can guess, I'm Native American, French, and Irish or Scottish. So, like others here, it's a moot point in my case. Unless I'm dating someone who's the same mix as me, I would be dating outside of my "race." BTW, we're all so mixed up these days, I think the concept of several distinct races is on its way to obsolescence; soon we'll all just be humans.
Having said that, I'm most often attracted to dark hair and dark skin, and a pair of brown eyes can make me just melt. I could definitely see myself marrying a guy who's non-white, were I not already spoken for. My partner is German and Danish, very fair-skinned with icy blue eyes, and after years of admiring Latinos and African Americans, I find his Nordic looks to be exotic and different. I guess my point is, race is a non-issue for me, as I'm apparently attracted to all of them.

Rundon'twalk: I think you'd be considered a Deist. It's a good thing to be; I date one of them, and he's remarkably easy to talk religion with, as he has few theological hang-ups.
