ladies and gentlemen,
I am always confused while I see words written compound form or
indivisual form. which one of these is correct "Contract holder" or
"Conctractholder"?

Hi folks,
I apologize for cross-posting. I'm writing a web site specifically for
writers. Big deal, right? Well, the site is intended to let writers
create writing challenges for each other. The site is still under
development, but I would like to get some writers to check the site out,
and give me some feedback.
If you're interested, please register at
https://www.wrifi.com:446/register.html and activate your account. I'll
then notify you of the location of the beta test forum, so that you can
communicate with me and (hopefully) others regarding the site.
Best regards,
Raymond

I want to hear more about the "bags and bags of ballet" that you said you
experienced as you were growing up in NYC. I've been to the ballet on
numerous occasions, but only as an adult, and I've always envied someone who
was exposed to it as a child. I envy you for having experienced it. Please
tell me what you saw, who you saw, how it influenced you, how you felt. I'm
just mesmerized by ballet and always have been.
And I just love these sorts of threads.

What do you mean when you say "easy on the ear"?

So, ya mean DVD's? Seems to me that when yer first becomin' familiar
with a particular opera, you'd want to watch it... especially, if ya
don't know the language. Afterwards, you could picture it as you simply
listen to it. What do ya think of that? I mean, it's along the lines of
tryin' to gain an appreciation of Shakespeare's plays by first readin'
them instead of watchin'.

Dubya is back from the vet's shop. Total so far: US$4285. But he is well
worth it.
I'll take him back on Friday for removal of stitches, and they might have to
sedate him for that.
Special food (no high ash, no high calcium carbonate, no high magnesium).
It looks like that means no cigarettes, no oyster shells and no junkyard
scrap metal. He'll be okay with that because he is anti-smoking and does
not like food that is hard to chew.
I've got him in the guest bathroom now cooling off from his caged trip home.
He hates the cage where he cannot yell at the other drivers on the road.
Mrs Cleverly will be home in half an hour, and she will coddle him and baby
him and make him feel better. That's what she does to me, so I know it will
work. He'll be fine, and thanks for asking.
Everyone post well, and don't worry about those *bitch* bumper stickers.
What do ethnic guys know, anyway?

I saw it on the back of a little Toyota service truck, and there was an
ethnic guy driving.
It said: LIFE'S A BITCH. don't vote for one
Isn't that just the best one so far? I love it.
