  as jws we were no doubt staunch creationists.

  but how do you feel now??

  do you still opt for creation or do you now feel evolution offers the right answer.

  Let me rephase that to mean "my opinion". AND since I've not researched it fully I can't make an EDUCATED decision!

  And like someone said before....the whys and hows aren't really that important at this time.....

  Creationism with evolution mixed in. It all didn't happen in just 6000 yrs of man's existence. I've not quite decided how much of each figured in.

  I know I love the natural world and I consider it's beauty a blessing..wherever it came from!

  REPORT IT REPORT IT REPORT IT.........Depending on the state you live in that most likely is a felony. These pieces of trash always do it again!! Sexual predators don't stop and say to themselves "oh this is wrong, I shan't do it again".

  Have some courage!!! Chances are there are other victims that weren't strong enough to fight back. You may be the one that gets the others to come forward AND prevent it from happening to others.

  And if he tries again....denut him!!!!! Slice him in the face with your keys!!! Anything to get him away from you!! You have every right to defend yourself. And remember the keys words are "I was in fear for my safety"!!!!!! And those words need to be used with school officials and law enforcement. And don't depend on the school to report it to law enforcement. A lot of times schools want to cover that stuff up.

  I know in a way how you feel........while I was bored to tears at conventions I still had a good time hanging with my Dad. And when the summers roll around I feel that "loss". I'm still extremely close to him but there are places I can't go anymore. Does that make sense? And when they studied with someone who called them "mom and dad" I wanted to rip the woman's throat out(figuratively of course) and tell her they aren't YOUR parents. They're MINE!

  I have one little consolation though. My best friend from childhood was the only one my Dad would allow to hug him. That hasn't changed! And I wasn't jealous of her. But I was territorial of everyone else near my parents. Isn't that silly?

  I'm so glad you have your daughter! When one door closes another one stays WIDE open!!

  for all those df'd people out there, you know the rumor about the annual encouraging call we are supposed to get?

  well my df'd sister and i were talking and we had a couple thoughts over this.

  HA!!

  I faded about 15 yrs ago. Just stopped going. Never received a call, letter or anything. Last year my sister's husband called and left a message telling me to call him. No request, no please, just an order to call him. Well that didn't happen. He tried one more time. I didn't return that call either. Idiot. GAG!

  Locutus,

  Even into the middle 80's before President Reagan did his thing I remember being scared out of my wits about nuclear war. It continued for a long time for me too. Still have some fear but I'm learning to rid myself of it. A work in progress I guess.

  Still..

  I was 5 yrs old in '73 so I don't remember that conflict. However I did make the mistake of asking my mom about 1975. Won't do that again. I drew back a bloody stump. And still didn't get any answers.

  And in all actuality we still have a very distinct possibility of a nuclear event. Probably more so now that the Soviet Bloc is gone and so many have nukes. I don't want to think about that. I can't control it anyway.

  Still a curious cat!
