In 1996, various Tori appearances on the TV (notably Prime Time Live), and a few more 'Happy Birthday Tori' messages. In 1998, a member reports on finding a book about Snoopy and the Red Baron amongst their childhood possessions, and concert reviews. In 1999, a member reports that the term 'liquid diamonds' is used in the Sandman comic "A Game Of You", and more thoughts on Bliss. In 2000 feminism, and responses to the 'who would you be for 15 mins?' question start rolling in. In 2001, 'Happy birthday' messages for Tori, a member posts about 'Instead' (with the subject line "PERIODS! MENSTRUATION! BLOOD!"), and RAINN parties. [ =======================> In RDT History <======================= ] On August 24th in 1992, a report that once the tour winds down Tori will have time to work on the sheet music (the songs aren't even transcribed yet) and the video, the re-release of the SATY single hits #26 in the UK charts, and the formation of a Tori fan club. In 1993, Tori live. In 1996, Tori and the Force (yes, the Star Wars type), the Hey Jupiter single, and comments on Tori recently covering 'Live to Tell' in concert. In 1998, concert reviews, suggestions for the ultimate Tori mix tape to convert someone, bit of a lingering flame fest (in relation to the non-Tori content of the list), members selling items from their Tori collection (including promo YKTR for $175), and 6 degrees of Tori. In 1999, reviews and comments on the new album, and a member posts his horror flatmate story. In 2000, more responses to 'who would you be for 15 mins', rape and 'asking for it'/boys and cheesecake, and Eminem. [ =======================> In RDT History <======================= ] On August 25th in 1996, a member posts: Chris, you should do something special to celebrate RDT's 5th anniversary next year. :) If you want a 'best-of', I'll volunteer to scan the archive over the upcoming year for the best posts. :) [Lavs: and I thought it was original! Violet: Yeah, so did I. Just goes to prove that there really is no such thing as an original idea (though a five-year best-of would have been twice as easy as this ten-year one). Chris told the person to go ahead, but I don't think it ever happened. I don't remember it, anyway. If I did, you can bet we'd be recycling that to cover the retros for '92-'97!] In 1999, reviews. In 2001, tampons, pads, and depo provera (in a nut shell: the messier side of the female reproductive system). [ =======================> In RDT History <======================= ] On August 26th in 1993, the great moments in Tori songs, the quality of the 'Kiss on the Glass' boot, and obtiaining Tori's b-sides. In 1996, reviews, the story of how Tori came to play 'Live to Tell' (Subject: pretending the green is your grass). In 1998, a bunch of lurkers come out of the woodwork, and members discuss 'boring/simpler' Tori songs. In 1999, rape ('asking for it'). In 2000, more response to 'who would you be for 15 mins'.

"haver" is also a northern english dialect word for oats - derived from the german "haber". random word from the same page: "hautboy" - an old word for an oboe, also a large kind of strawberry. ok, that's enough dictionary-related haverings for now.... the single tori lyric i relate to most is: "sometimes i hear my voice and it's been here, silent all these years". i feel like i've been trying to find my voice for a long time without ever quite getting there - "i've got something to say, you know, but nothing comes". on that note, matt ---------- "Le coeur a ses raisons, que la raison ne connaÓt point."

The only definition Hmm, lets see... this was mentioned in a retro. The retros are based on the archive... ergo, the answer is in the archive. You even have it narrowed down to a date. But then you don't have to bother in the end because the definition you found is basically the same. I guess it could mean lovey-dovey talk in the sense of this song.

On top of that, my server held all my mail and copied it everytime I tried to download on a low bps, so I couldn't get everything and then when I did, I had multiple copies of each. Is the internet supposed to be this complicated? ;) Matt noted and asked: >>"RAINN was also named one of "America's 100 Best Charities" by Worth Magazine." now how the heck do you judge good and bad charities?<< I'm sure everyone has already answered this, but I'm gonna say RAINN rates because of the amount of funds used to actually operate the charity as opposed to admin costs, etc. RAINN has (had?) only two full time employees and one part timer, none of whom was getting rich on their salaries. So 88 cents of each dollar raised actually goes to maintaining the phone lines. Victoria, sorry about the depression. Been there and done that. Meds never really helped me, but I lucked out and found a great therapist who helped me get out of the abyss. > *** (Today's Age Test) Fleegle, Bingo, Drooper, And Snork digest *** "Sha naa na, shanna na na, sha na na, sha ne neh na" The Banana Splits!!!!"

I'd say I'd agree doing it in >the summer is easier (less layers of clothes), plus disposable nappies >(diapers) don't give the icky wet feel and thus don't really give the >incentive (heh, a few free tips for Erika and anyone else in the future :) Nope, I plan on training him the same way I was... however inadvertent it actually was. I will nonchalantly leave pictures and catalogs around with "big boy undies" in them. He will say he wants them, I will say when you can go in the potty like a big boy you can big boy undies. He will never wet his diaper again. Hey, it worked for me. My mom says I saw big girl panties, and she said I couldn't have them until it was potty time and *poof* the toilet bowl was my friend. Heh. I got my big girl panties too. Hey, a girl can dream can't she. >Julie asked which Tori song we relate to the most and why... Girl - hands down. I'm still living it. I constantly fight with myself about whose girl I want to be. Mine or theirs. And not even some be concrete them like my parents or my husband, but the ethereal "them." So many "them" (they?) to choose from. Frustrating really. It's even harder now that I'm expected to subsume myself into my child's identity. I'm still me, my own, whatever the hell that is *shrug* someday I'll know.

I thought I had a normal sleep schedule.. and then I wound up unable to sleep and reading Tori stuff at The Dent.. aaaaaack.. until 6AM.. and then woke up at 2:30.. wheeee... Jim said: "Talked to my daughter last week and discovered that I will be going into the grandparent business next March. If it is a girl it will be Christian, and a boy, Jewish. Should be interesting!" woohoo! congrats! :) Simon wished Tori a great bday, basically: "A most glorious Day of The One to you all! AT 39 promises to be a glorious year, with the new CD and tour..." rofl.. Simon, I like the way you put it, there.. :D I really do. :) Lavs said, in reply to the retro involving Tori throwing a fan's flowers down, etc: "It seems to be the start of Tori and Eric's break up, which would explain why it is out of character." that's what I was thinkin'.. Lavs then said: "Holy frelling smeg! Natashya is nearly potty trained already? Go Tash!!!" shoot, yeah I know! my sister's nephew *by marriage, mind you* is nearly 2 and he isn't potty trained yet. Lavs then said of interpreting Tori songs: "...I know I've sent stuff here in the past and posted it on the interp forum, I should track them down and save copies of them..." yeah, do that! and er... where's the interps forum..? Linda said of that "500 miles" song: "That's such a freakin' romantic song. I want that played at my wedding, if I should get happen to get married." my bf said that if he ever gets married. he wants They Might Be Giants to play at his wedding. Then, after a little rant about her fave shock-jock radio men getting fired, Linda said: "At least it's Tori's birthday!! She should whip out those old red leather pants and strut around in the Cathedral, humping the organ." WAHAAAAHAAAAHAHAH!! yeah, she oughta. she's 39 now.. she has every damn right to do it! :D and yes, I feel LOADS better after having read that..

The lowly hot dog is popping up all over, even in McDonalds, and they're selling more than ever. I don't view this as a surprising development at all. Hot dogs are cheap. The economy sucks. People are more broke than usual, and more worried about money than usual. So, they're buying more hot dogs. 2. I noticed that there's a movie coming out this fall called "Welcome to Collinwood," and I said, "yes!!" and did a little dance. Then I realized that it doesn't have anything to do with Dark Shadows. No Barnabas, no Quentin, no Dr. Hoffman, no Angelique, no Professor Stokes (whose name I used to write under). Damn. That's like calling something "Welcome to Middle-Earth" and it has nothing to do with Tolkien. 3. Opie and Anthony. I agree with Linda about everything, though I have never heard the show. Besides, I don't see why people are so upset. It's probably the first sex act in St. Pat's in years where both participants were actually adults.
