I'm sure pants heaven is next door to silicon heaven.... ;)

I wonder what pants heaven is like? Is it out in the country with lots of woods and open grassy fields to chase pretty girls through, like the farm where may parents sent my first... OMG!

In my dotage, I'll write a book called "My Atheist Pants". My (5yr younger) sister predicted this when I was ~17, but under the title "Passed Sleaziness(es)". We debated if it should be "past" or "passed", if "past" would signify "beyond", and (if so) how "beyond" would relate to Nietzsche's "Beyond Good and Evil")

Yes, growing up with me was ... interesting.

At Olympic medal ceremonies, Bronze medalists are happier on average than Silvers. Bronzers feel they barely caught the bus; Silvers feel they barely missed Gold

I've heard that before. Is that the case even if they have been in the Olympics and won a medal before?

I doubt it would matter. Few medalists get to the Olympics by willingly accepting "second best"

Tricia has had a few more complications. She will be away from the board for a while. I just thought I'd let you nice people know. ((((Tricia)))

I was unaware of this until now. Be well, [b]Tricia[/b]. :(
