Yes, but remember it is just a welcoming phaser. And on second thought, for a phaser wound we would be better off calling in Dr. McCoy. Better yet, what was that nurse’s name? ---

And what a welcome it might be… I thought he’d be more of a TNG fan, so wouldn’t he get Beverley Crusher or a hologram? ---

Dear quietgirl. I’m Anthracite - or Una - another lesbian on this board. Also known as “the one that keeps annoying andygirl”. I’ve read andygirl’s accounts of your relationship and how you have dealt with a few obstacles in your lives. I sincerely hope that the two of you will continue to fight to be together, and be able to manage both your families and your possible temporary separation when andygirl goes to College. It sounds like the two of you have been very brave thus far, and have built something very special. Your story touches even my dry, old heart. Anyway, I hope you stick around and join us. Una PS - my SIG was written by another lesbian. 🙂 ---

I should mention that quietgirl doesn’t have internet access at her house, so she only can access the boards from my place or at the school library. I’m talking to her on the phone atm, tho, and she says hi to everyone. 🙂 (I suppose that you could say that I’m the voice in the relationship… trust me, she’s just not much for talking. I, conversely, never shut up.) Someone ICQed me asking what poem her nick came from. So… here it is. In the Counselor’s Waiting Room by Bettie Sellers The terra cotta girl with the big flat farm feet traces furrows in the rug with her toes, reads an existentialist paperback from psychology class, finds no ease there from the guilt of loving the quiet girl down the hall. Their home soil has seen to this visit, their Baptist mothers, who weep for the waste of sturdy hips ripe for grandchildren. Anyway. Lord… she’s just informed me that I will never see the day that her post count goes above ten. ---

**Scotticher** said: > [@](#): > > (PSSST-Thanks for not telling anyone about the little nip on the earlobe that accompanied the hug. It is so sweet of you to protect my reputation!) I thought that was an unspoken warning to leave you alone–I had to have my earlobe surgically reattached, after all. (And then there were all those smartasses at the emergency room. “Vincent, is that you?” “You wanna paint my picture, big guy?” “Ear today, gone tomorrow!” “Is it a starry starry night?” People are just plain cruel.) ---
