Does anybody still seriously believe being gay is a choice? Who would choose to live through three years in Buchenwald?

What is the easy way to distinguish silk from man-made fabrics when buying it from the roll? I saw some stuff in the local market that was labled 'silk' but it felt wrong somehow.

How may one readily tell the difference?

"In 1952, he was convicted of 'gross indecency' -- in effect, tried for being gay," Brown wrote.

Alan Turing, the brilliant British mathematician, who could have gone on to do so much more, has received a postumous "apology" form the British Prime MInister for the appalling way he was treated for being gay

"[Alan Turing's} sentence -- and he was faced with the miserable choice of this or prison -- was chemical castration by a series of injections of female hormones. He took his own life just two years later."

Step by step we progress as a species ... but sometimes the steps are slow and far apart.

She-whom-I-love-to-obey has finally persuaded me to replace my 18-year-old Defender with something a little more up-market.

I still need something practical, so I'm dithering between a Jaguar X-type estate or a Saab 95 estate.

Anyone offer thoughts either way?

Why would a person with this as their profile statement [see below] block me rather than engage in debate?

Am I missing something here? Is it perhaps weakness of faith hidden behind bold words?

Their statement: "I have been called by God to go out into this dark and hurting world to bring home God's lost and wandering children.

God has shown and given me His heartfelt love for every soul that crosses my path, to help lead them down the straight and narrow path few find leading to Heaven.

If you are sincerely looking and seeking Him, then you have found one of His own to show you the truth leading home to everlasting life."

I said that I wouldn't get online this evening; but I sneaked on while she is cooking dinner.

She just shouted to say she knows what I 'm doing.

I need a really good reason for being here ... anyone got anything good?

1) Are they really as easy to build as the website suggest?

2) How good are they?

3) Any other comments?

If there was some way that the rate at which you age could be slowed, so that you could have a life expectancy of 1,000 years ... would you do it?

With one loved one?

What if you could only do it alone?

What was it about?

How did you feel afterwards?

Did you apologise?

How do you feel if someone offers to help ... do you find it easy to accept?

Out of a 100 people your age chosen at random, how many do you think would be living a generally better life than your own?

What was it that made you cry?

Were you embarrassed?

I have a HP Pavilion Laptop, with Altec Lansing speakers across the front.

Part of the top edge of the speaker, where I rest the edge of my hand when using the touch-pad, has become a little clogged with dirt/skin.

Yucky, I know, but does anyone have any idea how to clean it off with out harming the speakers?

You know when you lose something, everyone always says "It'll be in the last place you think of looking"?

When I lost something earlier today, I made a list of all the possible places it could be, and then looked in the very last place I thought it could possibly be ... and it's not there.

So where do I look next?
