MOTTO TO LIVE BY:

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, champagne in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming.

WOO HOO!!, what a ride!!!"

I thought I'd stick an experimental "e" on "Glimps" just to try the effect. Tell me if you'd like it reverting to the original.

You are unkind sir! I think ahso is much like my good self. He can type, he can spell, it's doing both together that is difficult.

Since I lost my index finger tip, my confidence in typing has diminished, distracting my attention from the monitor to the keyboard and thus not taking the time to check my posts thoroughly enough.

If you lost your index finger tip how does it reach the keyboard? :-3

OK That's silly.

I take it that means they are legal at the moment so they are trying to take away someone's rights? If it's a civil union why does it bother them matter? I can understand religious objection to civil unions. I know couples that ended up estranged from their families because they married someone from the "wrong" religion, had a civil service but to some they are still not married and their children illegitimate, but we've got past that. Like the speaker said, once there are grandchildren most people realise it's silly to lose your family.
