G'day Roy,


 RM> GG> What is routine sex?   I don't think I've ever tried that.
 RM>
 RM> It's "Routine" if you can't remember the specific occasion at least
 RM> six months later. As an example, I can recall the sessions during
 RM> which both our kids (James is 8 months, Julia is 4 years) were
 RM> conceived. Definitely *not* routine.

Oh, you rented a trampoline for the event, huh?   

 RM> GG> Hey Rod, have I been missing something, honey?   ;-)
 RM>
 RM> you'll try bloody near anything, won't you!

You bet!!    :-)

I've never heard Rod complain about it though.   Oh, a bit of tiredness
the next day, but nothing serious.   

 RM> GG> couple different BBS systems... the magazines I write for...)
 RM> GG> that from 15 August forward I'm officially using the name
 RM> GG> Gaelyne Gasson.
 RM>
 RM> Touching. I'm touched (so I'm told, anyway)

In the head, that is.

 RM> GG> Thanks to you (or someone on this echo), we also saw the
 RM> GG> comet, so they didn't succeed in one-uping me.  :-)
 RM>
 RM> If you want to one-up them instead, try Hale-Bopp, "Next Year's
 RM> Comet". It's still nearly a year away from best vis, but it can be
 RM> seen in 7x50 binocs already - I found it last night with a 3/8 moon
 RM> nearby. Check the astronomy mags in your newsagent for finder
 RM> charts. There's one in the July edition of "Astronomy" (the
 RM> American mag, "Comet Hyakutake Wrapup" headline). In brief, start
 RM> at the "Teapot" of Sagittarius, and go two and a bit teapot heights
 RM> straight up from the top of the teapot. Be careful, there are quite
 RM> a few other blobby things in that area - I was fooled for a while
 RM> by M16 or M17 (not sure which). The comet's tail isn't real conspic
 RM> at the moment, we're looking at it from nearly head on, and it's
 RM> still a fair way out. The blob is a little bit asymmetrical in
 RM> binocs, though.

Will do - soon as I find Mike's binocs.

 RM> Find it in the next few weeks, then when the kids gush at you next
 RM> year about the New Comet, you can say "You mean that one I saw last
 RM> year?"

:-)

 RM> Seeing conditions: Wait until the moon is out of the way (pretty
 RM> little thing, but a bloody nuisance). If you can't see the entire
 RM> teapot clearly, or if you can't see the Milky Way that it's
 RM> embedded in, go find a darker place. Dark adapt your eyes for at

Bugger, coz it is REALLY light here.  :-(

 RM> least half an hour. Eat lots of carrots.

I tried that and it didn't work.  It still takes me a long long long
time to adapt to darkness.  Usually I'm totally blind.  :-/

 RM> GG> ... I liked QWKRR128 so much, I married the programmer.  :-)
 RM>
 RM> Already?? Where was my invitation?????

Well, we did live together for a year you know.  And we'd still be
living together if it weren't for such things as immigration laws.

 RM> Grump

Poor you!   We haven't had the CEREMONY yet, if that's what you mean.

Cheers,
Gaelyne
