Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way, turn.
"Without effort, he had learned English, French, Portuguese, Latin. I
suspect, nevertheless, that he was not very capable of thought. To think
is to forget a difference, to generalize, to abstract. In the overly replete
world of Funes there were nothing but details, almost contiguous details. "

mhbraun (Matt Braun):
It's not easy love, But you've go friends you can trust,
Friends will be friends,
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention.
Friends will be friends,
When you're through with life and all hope is lost,
Hold out your hand cos friends will be friends right to the end.
-Queen

raek (Robyn A E Kozierok):
DEAR MISS MANNERS -- I felt offended and abused when I called the
number given for replying to an invitation to an engagement luncheon and
got a recording asking me to leave my answer, yes or no. These people
will receive generous gifts, but there is not even an opportunity to
inquire what would be appropriate or where their selection is
registered. I called at least 10 times, and the infamous machine was
always taking the calls. I have yet to reply, refusing to talk to a
machine.
GENTLE READER -- So write a letter, politely accepting the invitation,
as Miss Manners gathers you want to do when you don't work yourself up
into a froth over the answering machine, and inquire what sort of thing
the bride might like.
Or fax it in. Or send it by E-mail.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Miss Manners does not absolutely require the dwindling number of
machine-haters among us to use telephone-answering machines, but she
will not join the war against them. She has heard too many pathetic
stories from harried people trying to regain control of their lives by
stopping all that ringing. She even had a heart-warming letter from a
former machine-hater who declared that she was turned around when she
had a seriously ill grandson but was saved the emotional distress of
having constantly to report on his condition while caring for his
siblings, because the children's mother used the machine to put out
bulletins to concerned friends.
Having a machine do the function of a social secretary, who collects
responses to a party, is not, in Miss Manners' opinion, a high crime. If
you could bring yourself to use it, you could leave a message asking the
bride to call you -- and then, if you wish, you could put a machine on
your telephone to intercept her call.
