In a message dated 2/26/00 6:57:18 PM Pacific Standard Time, RThurF@aol.com waxed rhapsodic about vin diesel by saying: << Also I'm becoming quite a fan of actor Vin Diesel after first laying eyes on him in Pitch Black last week. He's an extremely high caliber artist - he's a screenwriter and filmmaker (his own independent films are of such excellence that they were selected for both Cannes and Sundance) & has been acting on the NYC stage since the age of seven. He is someone with a very deep understanding of and passion for his craft, which I find overwhelmingly impressive and exciting. To top it all off I find Mr Diesel very, very attractive indeed, and I've never seen him with more than about two millimeters worth of hair anywhere on his head at any given time! >> Of course, what I think Vin has going for him most is that he's named "Vin Diesel". What a preposterous name. - -Dabbitt ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2000 18:06:39 -0800 From: "electrix" Subject: Re: Alloy: The Great Peanut Butter Experiment!

Here is something you might want to check out. I just produced a commercial for a company called EARTHWEB. They handle a few different Dot com companies.. including Dice.com. It is a clearinghouse/headhunter company for Information Technology type people. It seems that they are one of the bigger ones doing this.. and the reports are good.. You might want to give it a shot. Break a leg! > > Mark Thanks Mark, will do! One thing I've resolved now, I must get certified. It seems very difficult for an NT/Network Administrator to get a job if they don't have their MCSE. It was probably why I was chosen for the layoff as well. Never mind that my first boss hired me because he knew I was more dependable than his MCSEs, and that I have 13 years experience. ___________ JAMac (Dennis S.

Ok! This thread sure generated a lot of attention! More than I expected... > While were at style and such. Two more words for TMDR if he hasn't done it already - LASIK Surgery. I had laser eye surgery about a year ago and it was one of the best things I ever did. I would imagine it would be something an avid sail boarder would want to do. Why worry about loosing a contact in the ocean when you are having fun. My roommate did that as well and he loves it. He just went back a couple of weeks ago to get his eye 'fine-tuned'. I've heard that the price on it has come down quite a bit recently, since they've been performing so many surgeries, but then again, that might just be a local thing. > On the topic of hair loss/regeneration: my mother used to make some disgusting natural foods concoction for my dad to drink every morning--brewer's yeast, wheat germ, etc. It smelled absolutely awful, but it started to reverse my dad's receding hairline. I guess it worked well enough to make him drink it every day... quite some feat, given the smell. Julie, do you have that recipe? It might be more than just the B vitamins and I would be interested in it. > The zinc thing is interesting--I just heard zinc supplements are also recommended for prostate health! Yep, zinc and vitamin E are both considered the two most important nutrients for men. > Personally, I don't think any of you guys should worry about hairline issues... a lot of women not only are not put off by a lot of scalp showing, they find it to be very sexy. Myself, I notice a growing attraction for the likes of Connery, Stewart (Picard), Willis... yum! Oh, I know. I don't think Teresa will mind when I keep getting thinner in the years to come, but, I like the hair. And some people just don't quite have that nice head shape to show off. I'm one of those with a ridge, like a shelf running around the top in the back. Some, like Stewart, have these nice, elliptical heads. Robin > fan of the no-hair look :) Don't get me wrong on this. I think Sinead looks great with no hair. And that woman, years ago on the 'Veeger' (Voyager) movie of Star Trek, I thought she was hot (the bald one). But I really do like hair. > Our cultural society tends to place too much emphasis on hair. It is the underlying psychological theme of Samson and Delilah. Well, I have to say, being a student of the Bible that, the hair thing wasn't so much of a theme as God using Samson as a judge to rid the land of the Phillistines. The 'uncut' hair thing was more of a symbology of God's Holy Spirit operating in him to give him his strength. But, that's just the way I understand it; not trying to spark any religious confrontations. > I hear ya. I have found since shaving my head, I have had women intrested in rubbing my head. No woman ever cared to run her fingers through my hair. They have through mine. It feels great! I love curling up with Teresa and she sits there and runs her fingers through my hair. I feel like a kid again, all cozy. Yes, us men love to be pampered and mothered too. I think women love pampering us too, at least Teresa does. (Is it starting to sound like I'm obsessed with this woman? Sorry. I'll try to tone it down.) >Hey, I'm in total agreement with you. If Robin updates my picture on the gallery, you will know what I mean. I changed to the Yule Brenner style in October. It is great. I helped Keith move a few months ago and was shocked to see him 'clean'. It looks good on him! Kinda makes him look like the tough guy you can trust. ___________ JAMac (Dennis S.

I've never been strong, emotionally, when it comes to such things. Something I take from my dad who got it from his dad. Even though he was an elder for decades in his congregation, Grandpa always refused to perform weddings and funerals. He wouldn't make it through. I'm worried I'm going to be bawling up there when I take Teresa's hand. Man, I love her so much! And then my mother gave me yet another difficulty, 'reverse-emotions'. Crying when there's nothing to worry about or laughing when tragedy strikes. It's like that fight-or-flight response (or whatever it would be) gets jammed. But, you know, it's only recently that I've been really worried about another persons life or health. Don't get me wrong, even those long-distance ads on tv can trigger a tear in my eye (and that's coming from a *real* man, if I may say so). But I've never found myself so worried over another individual as I do Teresa. When she goes out of town without me on some sort of trip, I worry that she'll get killed or seriously maimed in an accident or something. And it so overwhelms me so much that I have to catch myself, slap myself around a bit and say, 'Get real!' But then I still will worry anyway. Anyway, I digress. I guess I'm just saying that I never know how to tell someone I'm sorry in such situations, how I really feel. >I know that this time of year, RSV is quite prevalent and in some kids, quite deadly. I guess it's a respiratory virus that some kids breeze through and others don't. I have to disagree on the general notion that some people, 'get' a disease, while others don't. Disease is everywhere, all the time. Everybody has cancer all the time as a natural part of life; the question is, does your body have it under control. Our bodies fight off viruses, bacteria and parasites all the time. The difference from person to person is always only one thing, the strength of their immunity. I forget the exact statistics, but back when the Spanish Influenza (I think that was the one) wiped out a huge chunk of the human population, there were individuals worldwide who never showed one symptom of the disease, while people were dropping like flies around them. The strength of your immunity vs. the strength of the offender (virus, bacteria, radiation, chemicals, etc.) determines whether you get a disease or not. I just proved in myself this last week that this is true. I suffered a minor head-cold and it was due to nothing other than stress. I missed my supplements a couple of days, drank a latte (milk will bring your immune system down) and on top of that, I've been stressed due to a lack of work (stress is a major factor in your immune system) and an approaching wedding to pay for. I know it began with the latte as, within the hour, my throat became sore. In another situation, last year, I was living with two of my sisters and two little nieces. One of the girls brought home a cold from school, a bad one. My sisters (and nieces) were stressed out over my ex-brother-in-law's ridiculous behavior, legally and othrewise, and they all got sick. Immediately, I focused on not getting the least bit stressed, even taking aloe vera and kava kava to make sure I was calm. I took my supplements, exercised, ate right, and I never got sick. My sister does not like my mother at all, and everytime mom comes to visit, my sister always comes down with a nasty one, no matter how prepared she is, mentally or nutritionally. When I look back, this has always been the case in my life. Well, anyway, sorry to get so off-track there, but this is something I really believe in and wished more people understood, amongst many other health related things. ___________ JAMac (Dennis S.
