================================================ Subject: "Henpecked" by "society" From: "Creed - 7M3 - Live" To: Date: Tue 29 May 2001 21:26:06 -0400 ================================================ Like you Ewa. I agree with the quote that Salma passed on was great. You don't have to be different, just to be different. But to accept blindly what others view as right is a recipe for stagnation. Good luck on your individuality. But being co-dependent is not a bad thing, as long as it is what you feel is the best thing for you personally. I had to look up the vestal word in my chance fortune. Since I didn't know what it meant. I liked the antiquated definition the best. But figure it was supposed to mean pure and unaware.

A virgin consecrated to Vesta, and to the service of watching the sacred fire, which was to be perpetually kept burning upon her altar.
