  the following is an excerpt from a children's book, "captain underpants and the perilous plot of professor poopypants", by dave pilkey: the evil professor forces everyone to assume new names.... use the third letter of your first name to determine your new first .

  a = poopsie b = lumpy c = buttercup d = gidget e = crusty f = .

  greasy g = fluffy h = cheeseball i = chim-chim j = stinky k = flunky l = booger m = pinky n = zippy o = goober p = doofus q = slimy r = loopy s = snotty t = tulefel u = dorkey v = squeezit w = oprah x = skipper y = dinky z = zsa-zsa.. use the second letter of your last name to determine the first half of your new last name:.

  Remember A.I. ?

  i know we talked about it when it was playing in the theaters, but i'm too lazy to look up that thread and i think it was in the main forum anyway.

  i just got the dvd and watched half of it.

  if you haven't seen it it's definitely worth renting.

  I liked the movie, hated the ending. But, I think the mother was only trying to protect her "real" boy. She had no idea that her son was manipulating events to make it look like David was trying to hurt him. I think dumping him in the woods was a bit harsh though.

  My daughter asked an interesting question after watching it. She asked me if God is an alien. And it made me wonder................ I told her anything is possible.

  wadda ya think?

  Bryant Memorial Service Report

  it is hard for me to transcibe certain feelings into written words especially since i'm not what you would consider to be a real emotional person.

  i have also mastered the art of rarely showing any outward emotional expression.

  i will try and do my best to give you some of the feelings i experienced today through my eyes, so please bare with me.. i drove the hour to mcminnville which is a small town about forty miles south of portland.

  wonderwoman,

  Have you thought about contacting the media? In the city that we live in there is a "call to action" number. Or you could go bigger and contact 20/20 or dateline or something like that. Sometimes doing that gets results.

  Englishman,

  I am never disappointed when I read your posts. From the moment I first stepped fingers in this place you have cracked me up. I'm so glad that people like you, who bring a smile to my face, are still here.

  As for the ones who have left...........well, can't really say I looked forward to their posts that much. And I hope they have found a forum that bests meets their needs.

  rem,

  I can relate to what you are going through. My husband left me 4 years ago and we were seperated for 1 year. He said pretty much the same thing that your wife said. That we got married too young and he wasn't happy. I told him that I would give him one year to try and figure out what he wanted and then I was moving on. It took a year and marriage counseling and becoming more positive people but we are now more happy than we ever were before. Sometimes it takes something like this to make people realize how much we take each other for granted and also to figure out what is really important.

  I hope things turn out good for you.

  How old were you when you lost your virginity...

  how old were you when you lost your virginity and was it all that you thought it would be?????.

  i was 19, and my first time was a complete let down.

  i envisioned that gothic romance motif, all about romance and love, i didn't know what i was doing, didn't know sex was like that.

  I was 19. I had been dating an elder's son on and off for 3 years. We finally got to the point where we couldn't keep our hands off each other any more. He was very sweet and gentle and I wasn't disappointed.

  this is a very interesting test.

  try it.. have a pen and paper handy before you read any further.. as soon as you read a question, write the answer right away.. make sure to answer questions 1-10 before moving on...no cheating!!

  read the following questions, imagining the scenes in your mind, and write down the first thing that you visualize.

  i just got a call from a very sweet sister from the kingdom hall, telling me that i am her householder for her talk tomorrow night.

  i have not been to a meeting since november.

  i have managed to avoid elder's calls.

  Thank you all so much for your suggestions. I think I am going to take the route of not calling her back. It has seemed to work so far in avoiding the elders. I guess it is only a matter of time until they do force my hand, but until then I guess I will keep playing cat and mouse.
