Not one person on the stage is over 18 years old, except for the conductor.

In most cases I think we should defer to the United Kingdom because they are the ones who came up with English...
What? WHAT? and give up our perfectly logical American spelling? I should think naught.

You're not alone STB. There's LOT of people here and on other forums too that are going to miss that crazy raccoon. I can say 'crazy raccoon,' because I love him. He's added such richness to our lives with his simple words. His stories will not be missed because so many people will not have a chance to read them and be changed by his words. You can't miss what you don't know. I don't know the reason why, but, I will respect his decision.

I mean by 'stand on it's own' as it must be a complete sentence...structurally, not logically. I don't think a fragment works, at least I haven't seen one.
You are right though, in that the sentence following the semicolon cannot be 'stand alone' without the first part. This gets back to my question of relatedness of the two parts. The second part relates to the first part, hence it can be separated by a semicolon and not a period. But I still think that the second part also needs to structurally be a complete sentence.

Thanks guys. I was troubled with the relatedness of the phrases separated by a semicolon.
But Trab, I think that the parts of a sentence separated by a semicolon must stand on their own as complete sentences. In your example "it sickens him." is a complete sentence but the first word isn't capitolized. That isn't the case when it's used to separate a series containing it's own commas though. But I could be wrong.
Cole, I went to Wikipedia just like you told me to do. But next time though, send me to your favorite porno site.

Can anyone tell me how a semicolon is used in sentence structure? Are there any standard rules?
-
OMG I just know a Civil Engineer was in charge of that. Cole?

List? What list? There is no list! Y'all made that up, so I'm not going to believe it.

I have an announcement. It's kinda important as it's going to change my life forever. Last week, David and I received our final license as Treatment Foster Care Parents. 'Treatment' means the kids have issues. The license is one step above regular Foster Care parents. It took 9 months of classes, background checks, home inspections and even psychological evaluations. (Boy! Do we have them fooled
)Seriously though, I am so excited to be able to help and possibly make a difference in some teenager's life. They could place someone in my home as early as next week. WOHOOOOOOOOOOT!
My schedule is sure going to change!

Finally! Finally, Bill Clinton's "evolving" stand on gay marriage has shifted again.

James,
The Vietnam war was an abberation in our history. I was there (twice). I know how my peers treated me for being there. I had friends killed there, and the memories of them will never leave me . But the story of the lives and friendships of the people needs to be told, and I thank you for doing just that...to tell of the human side...to let people know that those killed were the boy next door.

This is just...well...so adorable.

I also d/l V! today and have now been able to see videos that I couldn't before because of codex problems.

This is a great video of Dr. John Corvino. Please watch.

Those pants look like mine. OMG!

Des,
This has the potential of bankrupting you. Yeah...and me too, as I'm sure it will hit here too. I started up again.
-
This is a good video. We older peeps think about the struggle we're facing, but the younger kids just want to get by.
This is from OZ land.

Oh BS! You're not EMO Ele, because you're not false. That's what I love and hate about you. And a lot of peeps my age wish they were so bold and introspective that they could speak their minds like you do, but are afraid. I think I'm one of them. The future is in your hands.
Do me a favor though. When you teach, don't forget Whitman. He really is up your bloodstream.
-
This is an interesting and well written article.
-
Does anyone here classify him or herself as 'Emo?' I'm not too sure what it means totally either. They tried here.
but then the Brits have a funny way of talking.
This one seems to better describe the craziness.

I'm usually an optimist, seeing the good in people and giving them the benefit of doubt before reaching conclusions. And then I hear of something like this happening. It's a wake up call that we're not that far ahead yet; we have a lot still to do. We will never convince 100% of the people that we have a God given existence. There will always be a group of people that just can't think for themselves.

Obstinance seems to run in their family.

I've been obstinate sometimes and even downright stubborn at other times. (It's a Squarehead thing, you know?) I just wouldn't abandon IE7. Well today I got fed up with IE not responding and even locking my computer so I'm now on Firefox 3. So far it's worked wonders and I'm happy with it.

That was wonderful...and scary...James. What a trip dowm memory lane.

Thanks for the link to the entire piece Des.
I used to live in Michigan, just outside of Ann Arbor, and sent my daughter there one summer. She went kicking and screaming because she didn't want to go, but begged me to send here back every year for the next four years. She plays the french horn. I once thought she found a b/f there, but no...she really loved the music experience with peers. She's the one that sent me the link that I posted of the free performance last week. She took her young (6 y/o) son (my grandkid) to see the performance. He was mesmerized.
