   Another month and another issue!  Yes, I know things have not been       
   going well but please believe me "I'm dancing as fast as I can"!         
                                                                            
   Things were so much easier back in 1989 when I was a conference          
   host and "I" was having fun.  Even in 1991 when I created "Poetry In     
   Motion - The Poetry Newsletter", the fun was still in there.  I'm        
   still trying to have fun in 1993 but as a SysOp I've come to realize     
   that I must wait my turn to have Fun, because it's my job to see to      
   it that the users have FUN!  Be careful of what you wish for, it may     
   come true!  Would I change it?  NOT FOR A SECOND!

                 I asked this question last year!                           
                                                                            
   Question:  What does being a woman mean or not mean to you?              
                                                                            
     Answer:  Being a woman means being a strong and very                   
              flexible person. Flexible not only in the                     
              physical sense but mostly in the emotional                    
              sense.  I can be the caring wife and Mom.                     
              The one that will cry when someone in my                      
              family hurts.  Then I can be the one that                     
              will fight like hell when a family member is                  
              wronged.                                                      
              [Robin Fowler]                                                
                                                                            
     Answer:   What a woman means to me is that I'm free to                 
               express my emotions, and to have them, also,                 
               as a matter of fact.  What it means not to                   
               me is the loss of credibility BECAUSE I'm                    
               capable of having (socially acceptably) and                  
               expressing those emotions.                                   
                                                                            
               I seek those humans which are more concerned                 
               with their humanity rather than their gender                 
               identification.  :)
