<Duh, I don't see no bugs.>



On the topic of feelings for friends and lovers, I just thought
I'd try to put something together to illustrate how I feel about
people. I expect that some folks won't agree with my little toy
here, but then, as long as it works for me...



love	That's when I care enough about someone to crawl out of
	a nice warm bed at 3:00 A.M. to help them start a car
	when its 20 below outside. Yes Elaine, I'd even let some-
	one I love barrow my Swiss Army Knife(8-). I may help
	others out too, but usually its because I'm out in the
	cold anyway. To say these feelings should be reserved for
	family is silly. I have a few inlaws, outlaws and shirt-
	tail relatives (you know, cat run acrossed the back yard
	cousins) that I don't even claim. On the other hand, I
	have friends I'd die for.

in love	That's when I meet the right lady and find that I'm at
	least half way comfortable with the idea of having her
	around for the rest of my life and making her family
	as well as a friend. That's the lady I'd want to start
	a family with if we went so far as to invoke the ol'
	marriage -f option(8-). You get the idea, marriage and
	the  -f (family, like with kids). Oh, I knew you'd catch
	on. Which is not to say we wouldn't be a family without
	marriage or kids. I never was into the "gotta have that
	piece of paper" bullshit. That piece of paper just gets
	th' govment involved. Can you say "dubious accomplishment"?
	I though you could.



	Neither one of the above can happen overnight, but who
the hell is in a hurry? Take yer time and savor over it a little.
And the latter always takes longer. You don't hear too often about
love at first sight. I'd have to say that its just blind luck that
makes something like that work.


	I think so I'll end your suffering for now. I've inflicted
enough of my wandering thoughts on you folks for now(8-).





From the deepest darkest cracks of the deepest darkest jungles of 
deepest darkest Africa, comes the famous cry of the lost saffari.
WHERE THE HELL ARE WEEEE?????

Take it light.
