If that describes your experimentation/dabbling with homosexuality, PowerON, then I hate to be the one to tell you.... but.... you're doing it wrong! :P

Skiing's OK... not one of my FAVORITE things to do, but it can be fun. Of the three that you mention, I suppose downhill would be my favorite. If you could undo one thing that happened in your life yesterday (whether it was something that YOU did, or something that happened TO you), what...

As often as I can get them! :P What do you think is the best animated Disney film, and WHY?

Technically, I think 5... because if you're an AOL member, you automatically have AIM names, and I have 5 SNs on my AOL account. However, I only ever really use 2 for IMing. Do you plan to travel for the upcoming winter holidays? If so, to where?

Congratulations, Interpretrator! All the best to you and your new husband!

No, but with a computer, who needs a calculator? What would you consider to be the #1 problem in American society today?

LOL, YES! I bought 3 bags of candy a few weeks ago, and slowly, they've all disappeared! I'm NEVER buying Halloween candy so early again! What is your favorite period in history, and why?

Yes, mushrooms. When do you typically begin your holiday shopping? (for Christmas, Winter Solstice, Kwanzaa, Hannukah, etc.)?

Hmm, I guess that was a concern of days-gone-by. The Straight Dope: Can a microwave oven cause a pacemaker to malfunction? BTW, thanks for the answers, all!

I realize that it's a "done deal" already, and I 100% understand your reasons for wanting to keep your son happy, etc. That said, a word or two of caution: There are legal implications involved in photographing minors, even by other minors! I work in a public school, as well as the summer...

OK, I know these questions might seem a little crazy, but a group of my friends from class and I got to talking about CIs the other day, and we found ourselves wondering about the "environmental hazards" that might accompany wearing a CI.. For example: Does wearing a CI make you more prone...

Sorry if it seemed like I was analyzing you, that wasn't my intent. I was more addressing the motivation that brings/brought you to this forum (both the REAL motivation, as well as your stated motivation, which I happen to believe aren't quite in synch with one another), which is quite germane...
