From: SAAVIK To: JONBOY Subject: Right! Date & Time: 03/09/91 20:33:19 Message Number 13401 Without Imagination, this world would get pretty damned boring. The trick is to know when you're thinking fantasy or not. Too many people can't separate it. They use their imagination and then let it run their life. Imagination is a tool we all have, (Hey) it's kind of like a Snap-On tool....comes with a lifetime warranty. (shrug). I know, that was lame. By the way, I like that statement....."Imagination should be exercised, not exorcised."

They probobly don't think you even have a soul. They probobly walked away mumbling that you were just a disciple of Satan testing them. Good God (no pun intended). The propaganda they left me was full of pictures of family picnics with all sorts of animals wandering around the tables.... children running and playing in this utopia. (grimace) Give me a break! One lady actually had the nerve to direct her merry little speech at my son, who was 5 at the time. He listened with big eyes as she talked about Heaven on Earth, ect, ect. My son attends a Baptist Church and it confused him. I don't confess to know much about religion so I can't knock 'em out like you do. I wish I could have said something "smart" to her, though.... Personally, I think there should be a law against door to door salesmen and that includes people trying to sell religion. If a salesman calls me on the phone, it really pisses me off...., it's like walking into your front room without knocking. =========== From: SAAVIK To: TURTLE Subject: 13333 Date & Time: 03/09/91 21:00:17 Message Number 13409 Just keep your paws ofa 13333 (zoom) (zip) (click) Never mind. =========== From: SAAVIK To: TURTLE Subject: Armadillo Date & Time: 03/09/91 21:01:43 Message Number 13410 Thanks for filling in the blanks.

I mean, neither one of us makes an important decision without the other. We have mutual trust and respect. And there is very little possessivness between us. Ah, well, I just feel (and my husband is proof, to me) that a man can be dominant without being dominating (as in overbearing,ect). I admire a strong man. And most of the women I know do too. Maybe I should have said a confident man, a solid man. Not to be confused with an egotistical son of a ........! =========== From: SAAVIK To: TURTLE Subject: BBS BS Date & Time: 03/09/91 21:09:23 Message Number 13412 I agree (Yick) with you. I prefer a one on one conversation to posting. I enjoy body language, something lacking in posting or "chat mode". It's easy to misunderstand a post without hearing the tone of someones voice. BUT! It's easier to post certain things when you are basically anynomous (so my spelling sucks, sue me). It's easier to start a conversation and it's easier to recover from sticking your foot in your mouth (something I do often). A shy person could post messages where they might not be able to have a open conversation with a stranger. And it gets pretty strange around here........ =========== From: SAAVIK To: KNIGHT OWL Subject: Obnoxious? Date & Time: 03/09/91 21:14:06 Message Number 13413 KO>No, you're not obnoxious....

It's a hard subject to debate because both sides are right. It's like the abortion debate. If a person is suffering mentally and physically and there's no chance for improvement, then I can understand why they might want to end their life. If it were me, and someone MADE me live against my will...... what kind of life could I have? I don't believe in this "suicide machine" thing, though. Euthanasia should be performed in a controled environment by qualified physicians. Not in some van in a driveway......... Not much of a comparison, but I used to work for a veteranarian. We used to council people with old pets before they had them put to sleep. It was very hard for them to let go. But in many cases (well, in all cases) the animals quality of life was nil and once the people realized that they were hurting their pet more by letting it suffer, they would tearfully agree. It was sad, but at the same time, it was the last act of love. They said their goodbyes then the animal quietly went to sleep. It didn't suffer like it would have if it had just been left to slowly die day after day. =========== From: SAAVIK To: KNIGHT OWL Subject: M$Ms Date & Time: 03/09/91 21:28:40 Message Number 13415 Knight Wols loves to be wide-eyed with insomnia.

I don't understand to this day WHY she didn't call..... she had several on line support people at the hospital she could have talked to. She could have called me. God, I hate remembering this........

You know, I've wanted for a long time to talk to someone who was in the midst of actively considering killing himself--not necessarily out of any noble aspirations, but because I don't "get" the mindset you'd have to be in to do something like that. It's kind of an alien state of mind to me--I don't grok it, I don't under- stand it, so I'd like to talk to someone who was actually IN it to see what it's like. Pardon the lack of sensitivity, but it's hard to sympathize with someone when you have absolutely no handle whatsoever on what's going through his mind. =========== From: TURTLE To: SCOTT STEEL Subject: Dominance Date & Time: 03/09/91 22:06:44 Message Number 13431 SS> [Talking about men leading more than women in a relationship] SS> Yes, I agree...

Of course there are--but they're less common, since you can read cues into what the other person is saying. On a BBS, it's difficult to tell sometimes when the other person is joking, or being sarcastic, or whatever.

I think I have it zipped somewhere, but it's too big to put in the D/L directory unzipped. >So many minors call the boards. And they are twice as foul mouthed >as any of the adults I know. Ding ding ding! That's why so many BBS's don't allow handles and think that handles would only be used by immature little twits--you go to a system where most of the users are teenagers or below that allows handles and all you see is little kids swearing at each other. It's unfortunate, because there are a lot of otherwise reasonable people who as a result will not call any system that allows handles. Same goes for setting up "adult" areas on a BBS--in many cases, it's doomed to fail. (Give people the right to say what they want and you'll find many people have nothing to say but insist on saying it in the crudest, most vulgar way possible). Oh well...I'm glad this system doesn't suffer from those problems.

STOP THAT! I MEAN IT! No one, and that includes you, can take the blame for something they had no control over. You could only help her as much as SHE would let you. You couldn't make her put into action whatever you advised her to do or not to do. If she lacked the strength to do what she knew was right than how can you be responible? You couldn't really impart strength. You could only give support, nothing more. Try comparing it to your children and, let's say, a rainy day. You're children want to go out and play, but they can't because it's rainy out. Now, they look to you to fix the weather. You can't. Yes, I'm sure, you feel bad for the children, but are you to blame for the weather? Of course not. In the same way you're not to blame for her taking her own life. If she had called you, which you're not sure if she did or not, if you had turned her away, then maybe, you could feel partly responible.

The movie is very unique in that the sordid scenes are very realistic - like the room with peep holes where guys can watch the stripper dance - or people make love.

Date & Time: 03/08/91 19:39:50 Message Number 13646 Well, the Tandy I have suits my needs although I'd trade it in a minute for a 286 with VGA (hehe). The goverment uses Tandy???? I'm surprized. =========== From: SAAVIK To: SCOTT STEEL Subject: Police Story Date & Time: 03/08/91 19:41:16 Message Number 13647 You REALLY wanna hear this???? Ok, here goes. After my father died, I took his gun collection down to the Bullet Hole in Sarasota to be sold on consignment. Well, after about a week, the Bullet Hole called me and said they had a buyer. So I hopped in my Camaro (you know the one, blazing down mainstreet squealing tires) and went to Bullet hole. The guy at the counter told me to stand by and he'd cut me a check. While I'm standing there waiting (spending the money in my head) This BIG guy walks in the front door and eyeballs me. He (very nonchalontly) walks up by me. He's got this look on his face, nervous somehow. The other guy walked out of the back room and nodded to him, so this big guy grabs me by the shoulder. What did I do? Well, what do you think.... I kicked the shit out of his knee and pulled away. Suddenly there's cops everywhere and the BIG guy has me bent over the counter and cuffed. "You have the right to (bullshit speech). I'm standing there with my nose flattened against the glass counter, staring at dead rattlesnakes and this guy is breaking my arms. That's no exageration. He finally decided to introduce himself, Detectiv Fairmont, or Fairchild, hmmmm. something like that. On the way out the door, I'm yelling "what did I do???" He stuffs me in the car and on the way to the station he's real quiet, ignoring my questions. Turns out, one of the guns in my Dad's collection was "hot". When they checked it, seems it had been stolen from a guy who had been murdered during the robbery. The dead guys wife had told the cops that one of the perpetrators (sp) was a woman. Didn't take long to clear things up but what a trip that was. I didn't get much of an apology either. "Er, Sorry for the mix up, Mam." Then they kept me for hours (and my mom) trying to find out who my dad got the gun from. =========== From: SAAVIK To: SCOTT STEEL Subject: On a serious..
