  a woman is threatening legal action after a man she met through an internet dating agency described her as a "hippo".. romanians nicoleta popescu and gabriel malinescu had their first date after two months of on-line flirting and phone calls.. nicoleta now says she's going to sue gabriel for emotional distress.. but he says she purposefully deceived him, claiming she weighs eight stone when he reckons she's much heavier.. gabriel, 33, from bucharest, told the national newspaper: "i expected to see a blonde, blue-eyed, slim beauty in front of me.

  but what i got was a gigantic hippo.

  SYN : Your second very important question is: were you leading Reborn on??? Hmm... SYN needs to be counseled for leading poor Reborn on and breaking his heart!

  We really need to know this because we desperately need a laugh!

  Am I an alcoholic?
  If you repeatedly drink more than you intend or want to, if you get into trouble, or if you have memory lapses when you drink, you may be an alcoholic.
  Only you can decide. No one in A.A. will tell you whether you are or not.

  What can I do if I am worried about my drinking?Seek help. Alcoholics Anonymous can help.

  What is Alcoholics Anonymous?We are a Fellowship of men and women who have lost the ability to control our drinking and have found ourselves in various kinds of trouble as a result of drinking. We attemptmost of us successfullyto create a satisfying way of life without alcohol. For this we find we need the help and support of other alcoholics in A.A.

  If I go to an A.A. meeting, does that commit me to anything?No. A.A. does not keep membership files, or attendance records. You do not have to reveal anything about yourself. No one will bother you if you dont want to come back.

  What happens if I meet people I know?They will be there for the same reason you are there. They will not disclose your identity to outsiders. At A.A. you retain as much anonymity as you wish. That is one of the reasons we call ourselves Alcoholics Anonymous.

  What happens at an A.A. meeting?An A.A. meeting may take one of several forms, but at any meeting you will find alcoholics talking about what drinking did to their lives and personalities, what actions they took to help themselves, and how they are living their lives today.

  How can this help me with my drinking problem?
  We in A.A. know what it is like to be addicted to alcohol, and to be unable to keep promises made to others and ourselves that we will stop drinking. We are not professional therapists. Our only qualification for helping others to recover from alcoholism is that we have stopped drinking ourselves, but problem drinkers coming to us know that recovery is possible because they see people who have done it.
  
  Why do A.A.s keep on going to meetings after they are cured?We in A.A. believe there is no such thing as a cure for alcoholism. We can never return to normal drinking, and our ability to stay away from alcohol depends on maintaining our physical, mental, and spiritual health. This we can achieve by going to meetings regularly and putting into practice what we learn there. In addition, we find it helps us to stay sober if we help other alcoholics.

  How do I join A.A.?You are an A.A. member if and when you say so. The only requirement for A.A. membership is a desire to stop drinking, and many of us were not very wholehearted about that when we first approached A.A.
  
  How much does A.A. membership cost?There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership. An A.A. group will usually have a collection during the meeting to cover expenses, such as rent, coffee, etc., and to this all members are free to contribute as much or as little as they wish.
  
  Is A.A. a religious organization?No. Nor is it allied with any religious organization.
  
  Theres a lot of talk about God, though, isnt there?The majority of A.A. members believe that we have found the solution to our drinking problem not through individual willpower, but through a power greater than ourselves. However, everyone defines this power as he or she wishes. Many people call it God, others think it is the A.A. group, still others dont believe in it at all. There is room in A.A. for people of all shades of belief and nonbelief.
  
  Can I bring my family to an A.A. meeting?Family members or close friends are welcome at Open A.A. meetings. Discuss this with your local contact.
  
  What advice do you give new members?In our experience, the people who recover in A.A. are those who:
  (a) stay away from the first drink;
  (b) attend A.A. meetings regularly;
  (c) seek out the people in A.A. who have successfully stayed sober for some time;
  (d) try to put into practice the A.A. program of recovery.
  
  How can I contact A.A.?Look for Alcoholics Anonymous in your local telephone directory. These telephones are answered by A.A. volunteers who will be happy to answer your questions, or put you in touch with those who can. If there is no A.A. telephone service close to you, write or phone the A.A. General Service Office.
  
  Here is a list of A.A. pamphlets which may be particularly helpful to you:Is There an Alcoholic in Your Life?
  A.A. 44 Questions
  Is A.A. for You?
  Do You Think Youre Different?
  A.A. for the Woman
  Young People and A.A.
  Too Young?
  
  Remember that alcoholism is a progressive disease. Take it seriously, even if you feel you are only in the early stages of the illness. Alcoholism kills people. If you are an alcoholic, and if you continue to drink, in time you will get worse.

  A LCOHOLICS A NONYMOUS is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.
  The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions.
  A.A. is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any causes.
  Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.

  Wow! Thanks Syn..Gender doesn't really matter but it's confusing because then again gender does matter. I still love your posts ... I really thought you were a little older because you have a depth to your perception that is quite unusual for 20 years old.

  So, Amanda can send me a copy of your PIC? I know she's a very generous girl she will share..right Amanda???

I'm confused over this very important issue. SYN is very funny, intelligent and informative. I really enjoy SYN's posts. However, it may clarify some posts to know SYN's gender. Besides I want a PIC if he's ahem...

  Reborn said SYN was female on this thread.

  Lyin eyes: That's so sweet! It's a pleasure to have confirmed that families don't fall apart after their exit from the org. Once again the WT is proved wrong since, they instruct that XJW's don't have a chance without the org.
