Uh, ok! Thanks for the info. If I get 2 secs from this mayhem of trying to get two sites into some sort of shape, I'll take a look. I just got a real rollocking from an adviser over those frames, so they had to go... :cry:

Right... just to see if I can get this ball rolling, I'm gonna TRY and get a friend of mine to post some of her stuff, so do please check in from time to time...

Perhaps you believe that your smoking habit is just YOUR problem.

But did you ever stop to think about why non-smokers are so outspoken about smoking in public?

The second-hand smoke issue is highly charged and it is still hotly debated.

What's your opinion on this?

I've never heard of any of them...

So what are Kathy Riechs and David Gemmell known for?

Reasons why women cant find men...

1. The nice men are ugly.

2. The handsome men are not nice.

3. The handsome and nice men are gay.

4. The handsome, nice and heterosexual men are

married.

5. The men who are not so handsome, but are nice

men, have no money.

6. The men who are not so handsome, but are nice

men with money think we are only after their

money.

7. The handsome men without money are after our

money.

8. The handsome men, who are not so nice

and somewhat heterosexual, don't think we are

beautiful enough.

9. The men who think we are beautiful, that are

heterosexual, somewhat nice and have money, are

cowards.

10. The men who are somewhat handsome,

somewhat nice and have some money and thank

God are heterosexual, are shy and NEVER MAKE

THE FIRST MOVE!!!!

11. The men who never make the first move,

automatically lose interest in us when we take the

initiative.

Well, they are, aren't they?

I've been trying for days to find a website where you can check the site statistics for any website that you like. I KNOW such a site exists but, no matter which search engine I use and what keywords I enter, all I get is the same old free web-stats and other web tools sites coming up.

That is NOT what I want!!! :x :evil: :twisted: :x

I have a lead, and I have sent an e-mail. WHEN I eventually find that site that I am looking for, I'll put a link to them in my "Internet Links" section.

Meanwhile, you might like to take a look at this:

It's well worth a read!

(Well... it would have been - if it was still there!)

NICE website! I like it!

I especially like "Universal Energy," "Certain Limits" and "The Last Dance."

Any suggestions for rank names?

Curently, the ranks are as follows:-

0 to 19 posts = "Scribbler"

20 to 49 posts = "Apprentice"

50 to 99 posts = "Professional"

100 and over posts = "Master of Art"

From Conrado de Quiros' column, "There's the rub," in the Philippine Daily Inquirer of Feb. 23, 2005:

Ghosts (extracts)

... War is hell, not an action movie. In an action movie, one side is good and the other bad...

... There is the other side of war, something that's glossed over, or rendered invisible, in action movies and jingoistic rhetoric. The other side of the Pacific war, I've just cought glimpses of. The atrocities the Japanese wreaked on their asian neighbors were real... The retreating Japanese soldiers [during the liberation of Manila] went on a killing spree, bayoneting everyone in sight or herding them into churches and burning them alive. But the atrocities inflicted on the Japanese by their enemies, as well indeed as on the Japanese people by their own government, were just as real. The Ground Zero sites in Hiroshima and Nagasaki...

... Pacifism is not soft-minded, it is tough-minded. You cannot find anything softer... than the brain of a toughie, or a warmonger.

Ok. No more wars, please?

And Bush... Get off your high horse! BEFORE you drag us all to hell.

Lest anyone thinks that I am cracking-up - (posting away to myself?) - I am doing this in the hope that eventually, someone, somewhere, might actually find this forum interesting and join me in some lively debate...?!

From the Philippine Daily Inquirer of Feb. 23, 2005:

The 'Franchise' strikes back (Extracts)

Former basketball player Ramon Fernandez has asked a court [in the Philippines] to annul his 28-year marriage to his estranged wife "Marissa, whom he accused of being "psychologically incapable of performing her essential marital obligations..."

Fernandez, 51, ... filed a declaration of nullity... eight days after Marissa sought a court protection order from her husband, accusing him of physically abusing her...

... He also alleged that Marissa would nag him and physically attack him every time they had arguments.

"During their marriage, the defendant exhibited traits showing that she wanted the plaintiff all for herself. She disallowed him from mingling with his friends and even his relatives... Whenever the plaintiff would go to Tagaytay or Leyte, she would feign an ailment and request Ramon to rush her to the hospital. She employed subterfuge and ploys to get what she wanted," the complaint stated...

...Boholst [one of Fernandez's Lawyers] said the psychological report would show that Marissa was suffering from a social disorder known as "personality disorder not otherwise specified."

He said the disorder was clinically diagnosed to be permanent and incurable... [un-quote]

I was actually informed by a top psychiatrist in one of the large Manila hospitals that Borderline Personality Disorder does not exist in the Philippines.

I beg to differ!

Very true! I'm afraid that I'm a complete philistine. (I don't even know if that is the right spelling? "Well what's he doing, trying to do, running a website for the arts, then?" You may well ask? - It's a long story...!)
