There are other reasons a woman might not get treatment for a few days. If you're not aware of this....you know why. Now you're making your population *very* small. Maybe sex education in school should tell females to get treatment as soon as possible after the rape. Considering that a girl could have a father like you, it's no surprise that she might wait before dealing with the results of rape. If either of my daughters had been raped, I would have supported their taking the morning-after pill as soon as possible. Perhaps you could explain the necessity of your derogatory comments? Have I called you names, put down your fathering abilities, questioned your manhood? Why do you find it necessary to make a personal attack in every post? Search for your last 100 messages and read them. That should answer your question. I cannot find one instance wherein I've called you anything. I may have found your arguments specious, your name-calling remarkable, and your demeanor nauseating, but I've called you no names that I could find. I never said you called me names. I explained that many of your messages contain a reason for you being called names. Matter of fact, some of them can be considered an explicit request for mistreatment. So my commenting on your specious arguments, your name-calling, and/or your nauseating demeanor, or my not answering 'loaded' questions are reasons to call me names. And you seem to share the name calling with others in the group, so I don't feel too badly. How about your ugly habit of whining about off topic posts, and within minutes, posting your own off topic messages as you see fit? I don't recall your definition of 'sot'. Did you provide one, using the same criteria you desire for 'socialism'? " I whine about your political trolls which are well known to cause conflict. Live with it, as you seem not to have the courage to test your mettle in a political forum. I will assume that a dictionary definition of socialism should do for you. The next time somebody uses the word, and you ask for the definition, I'll be sure to respond with, "You have a dictionary. Use it." You forgot to look up "sot". Except in your mind, I've not imbibed alcoholic beverages for almost 20 years now. So, I'm guessing you've made up your own definition. And, that's OK! :) Well, then there must be some other explanation for some of your childish messages. See your doctor. I'm getting my neck operation on the 29th of November. That OK? Doug, yesterday you got royally dumped on by just about everyone in the group. Shouldn't you take a day or two off? If you take off two days, I'll take off one. OK, 29 and 30 November. Now which day will we not see your lovely attitude around here. |

I'm game right up to when the lakes freeze over. We got a game on here or what? :) The answer lies beneath the aluminum trim around my windows. Once upon a time (last week), there was this absolutely perfect plan for removing hinged wooden windows in groups of 6, and getting them painted, assembly line style, in an area of my basement arranged for this. While removing one, I leaned against the lower trim, and got squish instead of something hard to lean against. Completely rotted. I was able to scoop it out with a spoon. The youngsters who owned this house before took some short cuts. Removed the storm window from the window, and prepared to brush off the loose paint. Ha. The youngsters tried to glaze the window, but they didn't let the putty or the paint cure. When the storm window was unscrewed and lifted off, it took the glazing with it. Nice. Haven't had a chance to continue since last weekend. On Saturday, I'll know how many more of these nightmares I have to deal with. Easy work, but time consuming. Combine this with band practice 3 nights a week.... Never mind. The other option is to just let the windows go to hell, and replace them with modern ones sooner than I wanted to. |

I'll tell ya...I looked at the utility bills this morning and thought that if I considered ONLY the cost of the windows, and installing them myself, I could've justified it NOW. I'm positive they'd pay for themselves within a couple of years. But, for a number of reasons, there wasn't enough time to do the job this past summer. And, never having done it before, I'm nowhere near as fast as the pros. A two day job for them is probably a week for me. The other issue is the size of the windows here. They're weird. I'd have to show you pictures to illustrate.... |

I'd have to show you pictures to illustrate.... I got buddy buddy with the new owner of a local vinyl window supplier. Over three or four years I replaced every window in the house save for a double vertical single hung unit in my kitchen and three small fixed 'piano style' windows.. 2 in my living room & one in my main bedroom. (will probably do those next spring) I get the owner to come out and measure the windows. I also have them weld on the wide j trim to replace the original 5 inch pine boards framing the old windows. What a difference...more comfortable in the house, electric heating cheaper and the windows don't frost up on me. Our handyman and I do the installations. (his day job is with the medical insurance company my wife does contract work for) All the windows he measured fit perfectly, the one I measured & ordered came about 1/8" too wide and I had to hack at the shingles a bit to fit it in. |

I did this house, 13 windows, in one day - 10 hours of work. The measuring would be the first challenge. Never having seen this house "naked" (framed, without coverings), I'm not sure how to measure. In my son's harem is a girl whose dad is a carpenter. I may see if he's interested in a teamwork situation, like the one you described. Speaking of teenagers, my son just left with a friend from his dorm. The friend tried to get out the door ahead of my son, and took 45 seconds to open the screen door. My son's enough of an observer that he didn't say a word while this went on. He turned around and gave me this "I wonder how long this will take" look. The friend finally figured out that the latch needed to be turned instead of pushed. His friend's a physics major. NASA beware. |

"JoeSpareBedroom" wrote in message ... If your daughter was raped and you started talking to her about statistics, I wonder how she'd react. See? The rape thing again. Eisboch It's important because there are cults which think they can dictate the options available to a rape victim. You can't exclude inconvenient facts from the discussion, unless you'd like to say it's over for now. My point is that the majority of abortions, I believe, are performed not because of a rape, but because a resulting pregnancy following voluntary sex where no precautions were taken happens to be embarrassing or inconvenient. Rape is a different issue and much more difficult to resolve in my mind, although I'd probably go along with having abortion a legal option in it's case or in the event of a problematic pregnancy whereby the mother's life may be in danger. But to give everyone via legalized abortion, (call it pro-choice or whatever) a free pass because they didn't act responsibly is not right in my mind. Whatever happened to the fathers with shotguns? Eisboch I do not understand that response. Either the fetus is a human or it isn't. If it is not a human, but simply an accumulation of cells like an appendix or a mole, then why would you be against abortion? Clearly in that case it is the woman's right to decide what to do with that inconvenient lump of cells. You don't need reasons to admit to that right. Whether there was a rape or not is immaterial. Whether the lump of cells is wanted or not is immaterial. Whether the lump of cells may some day be retarded is immaterial. However, if it is a human being then what does the rape of the mother have to do with it? If the baby had already been born and the mother said she had been raped would you allow her to kill the baby? There is only one question surrounding abortion in my opinion. That is whether or not (and possibly at what point) the lump of cells is a human being and not an appendix. The answer to that question fully drives the answer to virtually all subsequent abortion questions. My problem with defining my own position on abortion is trying to come to grips with the "when" question. Clearly it is a human a second after delivery. I can find nothing that changes that 5 minutes earlier, 5 hours earlier, 5 days earlier or 5 weeks earlier. Yet by the same token I can accept that upon fertilization but before attachment to the uterine wall it is not human (which conveniently allows me to fully accept the Pill which keeps a fertilized egg from attaching to the uterine wall) but I find myself without any rational basis for making a distinction past that point, as much as I want to. What I do know, for reasons I won't go into too deeply, is that if abortion was legal and readily available for rape victims in 1928, I would not exist since my mother would have been aborted. I also know that if abortion was legal and readily available in 1957, I would not exist as I was a bit of an unplanned inconvenience. Obviously then my beautiful children and grandchildren would not exist. Some may say upon reading this that my non-existence would have been a boon to humanity - oh well. Enough from me. Dave Hall |
