    What if you're a lesbian from Manhattan?

    Laws can't reach across the seas...or can they?

    Read this and send it to the ones you love
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Mole checks- See a doctor if you or somebody you love has a mole that is:
    AB= Acemetrical Boarder: If the boarder of a mole is not round like a dot. If it has another round area growing off of it. If it has a broken area SEE A DOCTOR.
    C=Color If you have a mole that is more than one color IE Red and black, brown and black, Purple and Brown, or any other combo SEE A DOCTOR!
    D=Diameter. If you have a mole that is bigger than a pencil eraser SEE A DOCTOR!
    E=Evolution: If you have a mole that is getting bigger fast or changes fast (like within three months) SEE A DOCTOR!
    Any of these are signs of possible skin cancer, that can be taken care of in the doctors office if the signs are noticed and action is taken.
    If action is not taken it can spread quickly to the lympth system and from there the rest of the body.
    Save yourself save the ones you love. E-mail this to everybody you think dose not already know this. You should be checking as often as you check for breast and testical lumps.
    Its too late for my wife now but if you care about somebody you can very well save them a painful early death. I hope this message gets to everybody who bloggs on this sight. Send it to everybody you know. Send it to the ones you would like to see living.

    This will probably put a dent in their tourism business, or is any publicity better than none?

    I am so deeply sorry to hear about your wife. I have family with that same illness and know how devastating it can be for all involved.

    Please know that we will put your family in our prayers.

    am i right in thinking that china will be going through a recession? if the US consumer cant buy their goods, wont china start producing less, thus a loss in china's job market?

    Yeah. And they always hog the jukebox at the gay bar...

    Should a word that has more than one meaning mean one thing more than another? Like, say, "pansy"? Greece (of all places) is actually trying to legislate semantics? Just another politician with time on his hands who wants to open a can of worms...

    should any Lesbian have a biscotti recipe that might be eaten as a daily human chow sort of breakfast by type 2 diabetics i'd be grateful were it shared

    Couldn't people from Lesbos just call themselves Lesbosians? They know the story anyway. I can't imagine a guy being called a Lesbian--every one I ever knew was a woman. Say, maybe that woman IS one, after all?

    I have wondered for years if this would ever come up. Good lord don't the people on Lesbos have better things to worry about?

    Why go to court over a trifle? It only enriches the lawyers.

    Perhaps the best way to solve this would be to rename the island like a stadium. Religious and commercial interests could bid on naming rights for a decade at a time. The Church has plenty of money. Should they want to name it "St Maria", and all the residents be called St. Marionettes, they can pay for it. If some publishing empire, fig grower, or wine magnate want their familial or corporate name literally on the map, they can pay for the privilege. After all, having YOUR name splashed in the middle of the classical world has to be worth something.

    With feverish bidding, the islanders could grow rich.

    Besides, the people who collect stamps and money would love to have fresh images. It's a win for the tourists, a win for the paper-pushers, a win for politicians. :)

    Most importantly, it would disengage the name from the substance. If a map isn't the land, why should a label be a person?

    Thanks, Daniel. Sorry about your wife. I'll keep her in my prayers.
