    Ya know, I can handle the daily "What's your favorite xxxxxx" from Nish (although that's wearing a little thin too), but I'm not the slightest bit interested in your love life. I'm sure a lot of guys have liked Crystal, but we haven't heard from them yet, and I personally don't care that we ever do. If you wanna whine to someone about this crap, go find a priest or call your mother. Some folks may not agree with what I've just said, and they might even say that I'm being a complete prick, but I'm not here to be a freakin politician.

        This was, of coarse, bound to happen. I have an update for you, but it's not a good one for me. It's 12:17 AM where I am right now, somewhere just outside of Los Angeles. Crystal calls me a little while ago. The only problem being is that she's moving back to San Francisco effective Thursday because of a dying family member she is close to. So I guess my problem is solved. I'm definitely going to tell her how I feel about her before she leaves. But, it seems, my fortay with love had a few bugs and a couple of syntax errors. My love life IQ is one semicolin short of a complete program, and no matter how hard I try it won't compile unless I add that one simple symbol, but the key's stuck and I'm not smart enough to cut and paste it from a notepad document. And it seems when it comes to love for me I've got a frozen program, and no matter how many times I press "Control Alt Delete" Windows 98 won't work and what I really need to do is minimize everything and open pview95.exe. I've decided I should stick with that I know - programming - and forget this futile flirtation with romantic intrigue. If it counts for anything I am going to try and kiss her before she leaves. I really liked Crystal, a lot more than I liked any other girl, ever. Running your own business can be a lonely enterprise. Working alone, in a damp office with only the radiation eminating from the computer monitor to keep you comfort, can get lonely. Well, at least I have you guys. You seem to care. And that honestly counts for something.

        Bad Idea. Telling her *now* when she's under external emotional pressure will only hurt. She knows she has to cope with the death of a family member, which is at the moment more important than anything else. Just now being there for her, with her, without requesting a response is much better an idea. Trying to kiss her is a bad idea in around 90% of all instances of this scenario.

              I had a long distance relationship from San Francisco to San Diego. That's an hour and a half more driver. I was great! Then I talked him into moving in with me. The long distance relationship was a lot better. Enjoy it! Cathy Life's uncertain, have dessert first!

My word! I regulary, two, three times a week, visited a friend who lived two hours from me, and we were just friends, nothing more. For a partner, lover, girlfriend I would have done double that at least twice a week. I would consider my first relationship lond distance. She lived in northern Namibia and I lived in southern South Africa, Cape Town.

                        Actually it is pretty close to that. LA to San Francisco = 380 miles or about 5 3/4 hours San Diego to San Francisco = 513 miles or about 7 3/4 hours The above times are calculated at 65mph since most of the long haul freeways in California have speed limits of about 65 - 70mph. This is assuming you drive at posted speeds. If you are aware of your surroundings and used to avoiding California speed traps it is possible to average 85 - 90mph pretty easily, most Californians drive at those kinds of speeds whenever possible. At 85mph average speed the times reduce to 4 1/2 hours and 6 hours respectively, and even 1 and 1/2 hour difference.

                            I've noticed no significant difference in fuel economy between driving 65 and 85. I measure this by a long trip I used to take regularly. If it was a weekend where troopers were more likely to be about, i'd drive the speed limit (like a holiday weekend), but if it wasn't, i'd go 85 or so on average... I always had to fill up for gas at the same places and used no noticably different amount of gas. -- Where are we going? And why am I in this handbasket?

It's so bad it's comical. You meant to be funny right? The only thing worse than that is when people use computer terms for sexual innuendos. Man that's cheezy. Anyway, best of luck in romance and programming. Just don't confuse the two... X| Why not throw away a dime? I throw away ten pennies all the time.

                                Busted. No really I believe the speed limit on Highway 5 is 75. So you can go up to 85 and the highway patrol won't bother you. But be carefull, if you get a speeding ticket going over 100 you have to go all the way out to the stinky cow city to go to court. Cathy Life's uncertain, have dessert first!

My word! I regulary, two, three times a week, visited a friend who lived two hours from me, and we were just friends, nothing more. For a partner, lover, girlfriend I would have done double that at least twice a week. I would consider my first relationship lond distance. She lived in northern Namibia and I lived in southern South Africa, Cape Town.

Yes, but fuel economy drops rapidly at that speed. I'd personally rather spend an hour more in the car listening to my music than spend 520 more on petrol (or gas, as you call it).

                                      That is quite true. It really is a matter of "How fast do you want to spend" as my friends in the car modifying trade say. ;) Jason Jystad Cito Technologies www.citotech.net Sonork ID 100.9918 >-------------------------------------------------< Every program has at least one bug and can be shortened by at least one instruction -- from which, by induction, one can deduce that every program can be reduced to one instruction that doesn't work. >-------------------------------------------------<

                                        Busted. No really I believe the speed limit on Highway 5 is 75. So you can go up to 85 and the highway patrol won't bother you. But be carefull, if you get a speeding ticket going over 100 you have to go all the way out to the stinky cow city to go to court. Cathy Life's uncertain, have dessert first!

That way you could get your highly modified car up near maximum speed. ;) As they used to say when I was growing up in central Cally, "it ain't speedin' if'n there ain't no cops around". And yes, they really said it that way, (Gad what an illiterate cow town I grew up in. :P ) At least you are in San Diego. One of the few places I'd consider living in California anymore. Lived there long? Oh, I almost forgot to ask, "stinky cow city"? I can take a couple of guesses (my home town would qualify), but what town are you referring to?

                                          I lived there for two years and then moved back up to the Bay Area. I really miss it there. The only reason I moved back was to be close to my parents. That becomes important after you have kids. But oh what a sacrafice it was. Cathy Life's uncertain, have dessert first!
