There once was a woman named Byz,
Who got sick of this gender-typed jizz.
She attempted to knit
up this angry old shit
But, since the filter could’ve kilt her,
She whizzed.
Amen.

Second line, yes. Call Waiting, NO. It’s a very, very, very bad thing to have Call Waiting on a phone line you use for modem connections. Call Waiting produces an intermittent tone on the line when someone else is calling. With a modem connection established, you will not hear this tone. Your computer will simply lose data and eventually disconnect. And you won’t know why. In fact, if your line DOES have Call Waiting on it, it’s a good idea to DISABLE it temporarily while you’re using the modem (there’s a #-key sequence that does this).
Personally, I’d recommend you get DSL instead. Round-the-clock online connectivity, and 12 times the incoming bandwidth.

And 12 times the cost?

So that’s why victims of domestic abuse stay! They feel “special”! I don’t think that love should be about showing how “special” you are. I think that it should be about mutual respect and support. But I guess that’s just me.
Get over yourself, The Ryan. Love is a myth. It’s all about sex. Christ on an electrolux, why the hell do you think people stay in abusive relationships? Because of your touchy-feely “mutual respect” bullshit? No, it’s because the hot monkey love is worth getting put down and smacked around.

OK, can someone explain this one to me? I am a reasonably attractive chick, & when I walk down the street, guys will often say stuff like “Hey baby!” to me, right? But, like, if I keep walking & don’t acknowledge them, they’ll call me a bitch. I don’t understand…I did absolutely nothing, & somehow this makes me a bitch?
Also, like, why do they say stuff like that & whistle & beep their horns & all? Do they think I’m going to turn around & say, “Did you just whistle at me? Wanna go back to my place & have sex?” I mean, REALLY, what is the desired outcome?

Oh yeah, & just to clarify, I’m not some snotty bitch who’s totally stuck up & doesn’t anyone to look at her…there’s not much I like better than an unsolicited compliment. (Actually, I think the only better than an unsolicited compliment is unsolicited oral sex, but that’s in short supply in my current relationship. sigh) I LOVE it when someone says my hair looks good, or I look pretty, or whatever. It’s just the leaning on the car horn & leering while I’m waiting for the bus that seems a little uncalled for.

Stella,
So, take a page from the behaviorists, and ignore any behavior you don’t like. It’s their buddies they are showing off for, not you.
You could make a point of exchanging a friendly smile, or even a hello to the most polite gentleman you run across every day, just to do your bit for the other side.

You are so far from having a clue that I am surprised you are allowed to leave your home without supervision. Actually, I don’t know that’s true - but your keepers missed a major point here. If you think abusive relationships have anything to do with sex or love, you should consider a subscription to something that is not published by Larry Flint. Certainly you should avoid attempting anything that might be called a relationship - too many people can get hurt when uninformed twits pull others into their circle of reality.
Yeah, whatever.
belllllch
Oh! Wow! Chief, was that directed at ME??! Let’s go back to my apartment & fuck like crazed, sweaty weasels on my coffee table!! It makes me SO HOT when guys whistle at me!! Oooooooooh yeah baby!!!

androw wrote, re DSL:
Actually, no. In San Jose (California, not Costa Rica), you can get complete DSL service – including the costs for the line and Internet Service – for around $35 per month. This is for a 768 KBPS downstream and 128 KBPS upstream data transfer rate. (Higher upstream rates cost more, but most users are more concerned about the downstream rate anyway.)
Regarding call waiting-there’s a new service that pops up a little window on your screen when you get a call. You can log off and take the call or just ignore it and the caller just hears the phone ring like you’re not at home. IIRC, the price was reasonable ($6.95/month).
Can’t recall the name of the company. I 'll let you know when I hear the commercial again.
In search of the eternal buzz . . .

You missed my point entirely. Ever heard of something called the subjunctive mood? I guess not. Of course mutual respect is largely irrelevant to abusive relatrionships. What annoys me is the idea, seemingly endorsed by ChiefScott, that there’s something noble about accepting this lack of respect.
BTW, just where did you get this idea that people stay in abusive relationships for the sex? There are some people that get off on masochism, but I doubt that they make up a significant percentage of abuse cases.
My general bash on women also went out to men for being subserviant to women. It wasn’t well thought out, but then, most rage isn’t.
Me thinks N-trash Girl is a man hating dyke.
So, getting back to this “unsolicited oral sex” thing…
No response in a week?!
I said, getting back to this unsolicited oral sex thing!!
