TJ~Anyway, it's raining over here in my part of the world.  I just washed my car today and I refuse to go outside.  I wash my car once every full moon I'm not about to let some rain ruin everything. :-)<BR>

Misti~As always I love your work and <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2002.03.17.17.55.31329">Certainty</a> just makes me love your work even more.  So you work/ed for AOL Tech Support?  Hmm, maybe you were that really nice lady that helped me.  ;-)<BR>

Thanks, Jon. I always enjoy reading your poems. I especially like Say You'll Stay. No, I applied at AOL on Monday and received a rejection letter on Saturday. I knew I would fail the personality test even as I was taking it. I was honest. "I'm an outgoing person." I answered "disagree." "I anger easily." I answered "agree." I really didn't want to work for such a big corporation. Yesterday I e-mailed my resume to Glamour Shots for a makeup artist position and tomorrow I'm applying for a dance instructor position. <BR>
<BR>
Gala, you are the absolute awesomest! I'd heard about that bio before. I'd love to borrow it from ya!<BR>
<BR>
Jennifer, funny you should say that. I'm taking Celexa for depression. But thanks for the kind words.<BR>
<BR>
Kirk, I know there's no way to filter out all of the plagiarized submissions. But my suggestion is that when someone gets called on it the piece should be taken off the Corner. I know that I'm one of the reasons the new system is in place and I am very sorry for that. I really do appreciate and admire all the work you have put in to the Blender.

Ophelia, please spare us the reposting of previous posted material. We saw it the first time.  Although only a small incremental expense, I conceptually resent paying to host the same material twice so you can make a non-existent point: you are a nexus of negativity on the board, and it's not a coincidence, and it's not really the fault of the other people on the board: like the "Demotivator" says, "The Only Consistent Feature Of All Of Your Dissatisfying Relationships Is You."

Ophelia, I just wanted to point out in the message you posted..."a constant negativity on this site" like people randomly posting "You are all idiots."  as a friggin' survey response?  "nasty ugly comments" like "Who died and left you the only bull dyke in charge of the psycho ward shit stalls"?  <BR>

At least try to avoid comments that blow themselves up...the irony is thick, in both the real and Alanis senses of the word.

scqueen ~ I was thinking about Oafyliacks nuts too. But I don't think she's OneNut. At least, if she is then ol' Jimmy has gone to great lengths to create a slut-e image on-line in the dark little porn world. Can't disagree that they both have severe sociopathic issues, and tend to obsess about people they don't know, and go on these useless, time wasting rants, but being one and the same....hmmmm. Now THAT would really indicate a lack of 'a life'.

           Gala's challenge...write a recipe for your honey...you must use at least FIVE cooking terms...extra points given if it actually LOOKS like a recipe...<BR>
<BR>
           Can be anything about your sweetheart...but cooking terms are a must!<BR>
<BR>
           I will s sub a sample, but as per usual will not compete...if Kirk likes it, maybe we run the winners as a Special in April!<BR>

           If someone wants to help judge, dandy---but judges can't compete...we're not russian figure skaters, you know...;)<BR>
