41. It's A Really Easy Part
I learned it just for kicks about 10 years ago. It took me 10 minutes tops.

It's very easy, and it only consists of 2 phrases played in loops of 2A, 1B, 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A.

I don't know if you already play piano, but if you do, it should be easy for you to figure it out. So, don't let your dream fade!

Two things...

Get married.

Take a three-week walking tour of Ireland.

Odd thing is, at this moment in time, I want the Ireland tour more than to meet Mrs. Me.

19. I feel so bad for you FC
The laws here are absolute bs. They claim its because of "morals" but we all dont intepret things the same way. This is about human rights imo. Intolerance is horrible.

20. John, thank you.
Yes it is all about human rights, but the repukes see us gays and lesbians as shit not human. But one day, Sappho and I will be together, married, and living our lives running a nice B&B for gays and lesbians somewhere.

23. your welcome
Its so sick I agree, you have told your story many times at DU, I tell you as a hetero guy I dont know what its like but I envision its tough, I have been told being a teen is tough I pity the gay kids my age, many of their peers at least here have primative attiude on gays. These morals they speak of arent in all faiths so it is stupid to say oh its against god, well I may be a christian and believe in god but we dont all, and we cant subject our morals on the world. I really dont have to many gay and lesbian people that I know personally but FC I do have a cousin who is gay and I met him and his partner, and good for them they adopted, and these two guys were very nice and good fathers too. I could tell my dad's cousin Jimmy was proud of his son. I tell you that reunion I went to in August was a unique experience. It even kind of changed my brother who is normally a phobe. I think it is unfortunate that the descedants of those who were mistreated for some reason now do the same, and thats sad. Human rights are what it should be about. Why cant gays or lesbians marry, it doesnt hurt or bother me.

Edited on Thu Oct-02-03 10:44 PM by nomaco-10
If I could just get a glimpse of the Louvre and the Sistine Chapel... the canals of Venice, the vineyards of Italy, the art of Michelangelo, I could die one happy woman, my dream calls me and keeps me imagining the possibilities of this great thing we call life.

31. I overcame my intense fear of death soleft...let me expound
About 5 years ago, I was in the hospital for almost 2 weeks. My symptoms were lower abdominal pain. During that time, I had every test imaginable, but the docs did not REALLY know what was wrong w/ me except that I had an infection. Okay, now to the point - I had always been very fearful of dying and now I am no longer afraid. Why? Because when I was in the hospital I was VERY weak...actually I didn't even know how weak I was, til one of my friends said later. "Man, I thought you were a goner...I mean when I came to visit on your 3rd day, you were basically in a fetal position, you looked gray, and said maybe two words to me - it scared me."

Well soleft, let me say that I was so weak that all I did was sleep, and more importantly, I was too weak to even THINK.

In fact, after I got out of the hospital, my friend (who knew about my fear of death), said to me "Did you think you were dying and were you scared?" I said "No, because I was too weak to even think about such things." - I WAS NOT SCARED.

So, I will leave you with that my friend. This "necrophobiac" is no longer scared to die.
