the stations in Jita and you will see I am good for the isk. As you can see<br />
i am a little short this month in isk as its all in buy orders but i have<br />
managed to obtain lots of funds in other games that I have played, can you<br />
confirm you will take Gold Pressed Latinum, Republic Credits, Nuka Bottle<br />
Caps or even Final Fantasy Gils for next months subscription?</p>
<p>I am looking forward to your response</p>
<p>PS: My son has tons of mario yellow coins if you are interested</p>
<p>Please give me the appropriate exchange rates and form of payment and I can<br />
stick this email in my done folder&#8230;.Cheers</p>

<p>Dear Ms Soogah,</p>
<p>Thank you for your email. I would be truly delighted for you to publish my feces. Obviously sending a fresh stool is never an easy task. Previously I have met with &#8220;publishers&#8221; in a discrete venue of their choice. From there you may help yourself to my clay pit.</p>
<p>Please let me know when you have made arrangements.</p>

&gt;<br />
&gt; I am writing on behalf of the German publishing house, XXX Verlag Dr. Müller XXXXXXXXXX.<br />

We are a German-based publisher whose aim is to make academic research available to a wider audience. XXXXX would be especially interested in publishing your dissertation in the form of a printed book.<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; Your reply including an e-mail address to which I can send an e-mail with further information in an attachment will be greatly appreciated.<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; I am looking forward to hearing from you.<br />

<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">talking. Still, I never wanted to be the first one to make contact.<script></script> </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">In my fantasies, it was always you who would come crawling back to me. I guess my pride needed that. But</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">now I see that my pride&#8217;s cost me a lot of things. I&#8217;m tired of pretending I don&#8217;t miss you. I don&#8217;t care about</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">looking bad anymore. I don&#8217;t care who makes the first move as long as one of us does.</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Maybe it&#8217;s time we let our hearts speak as loudly as our hurt. And this is what my heart says: &#8220;There&#8217;s no one</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">like you, Connie.&#8221; I look for you in the eyes and breasts of every woman I see, but they&#8217;re not you. They&#8217;re not</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">even close.</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Two weeks ago, I met this girl at Flamingos and brought her home with me. I don&#8217;t say this to hurt you, but just</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">to illustrate the depth of my desperation. She was young, maybe 19; with one of those perfect bodies that only<script></script> </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">youth and maybe a childhood spent ice skating can give you. I mean, just a perfect body. Tits like you wouldn&#8217;t</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">believe and an ass that just wouldn&#8217;t quit. Every man&#8217;s dream, right? But as I sat on the couch being blown by</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">this stunner, I thought, look at the stuff we&#8217;ve made important in our lives. It&#8217;s all so superficial.</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">What does a perfect body mean? Does it make her better in bed? Well, in this case, yes, but you see what I&#8217;m</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">getting at. Does it make her a better person? Does she have a better heart than my moderately attractive</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Connie? I doubt it. And I&#8217;d never really thought of that before. I don&#8217;t know, maybe I&#8217;m just growing up a little.</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Later, after I&#8217;d tossed her about a half a pint of throat yogurt, I found myself thinking, &#8220;Why do I feel so drained</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><script></script><span style="font-size: 10pt;">and empty?&#8221; It wasn&#8217;t just her flawless technique or her slutty, shameless hunger, but something else. Some</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">nagging feeling of loss. Why did it feel so incomplete? And then it hit me. It didn&#8217;t feel the same because you</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">weren&#8217;t there to watch. Do you know what I mean? Nothing feels the same without you.</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Jesus, Connie, I&#8217;m just going crazy without you. And everything I do just reminds me of you.</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Do you remember Carol, that single mom we met at the Holiday Inn lounge last year? Well, she dropped by</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">last week with a pan of lasagna. She said she figured I wasn&#8217;t eating right without a woman around. I didn&#8217;t</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">know what she meant till later, but that&#8217;s not the real story.</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Anyway, we had a few glasses of wine and the next thing you know, we&#8217;re banging away in our old bedroom.</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><script></script></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">And this tart&#8217;s a total monster in the sack. She&#8217;s giving me everything, you know, like a real woman does when</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">she&#8217;s not hung up about her weight or her career and whether the kids can hear us. And all of a sudden, she spots</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">that tilting mirror on your grandmother&#8217;s old vanity. So she puts it on the floor and we straddle it, right, so we</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">can watch ourselves. And it&#8217;s totally hot, but it makes me sad, too. Cause I can&#8217;t help thinking, &#8220;Why didn&#8217;t</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Connie ever put the mirror on the floor? We&#8217;ve had this old vanity for what, 14 years, and we never used it as a</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">sex toy.&#8221;</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Saturday, your sister drops by with my copy of the restraining</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">order. I mean, Vicky&#8217;s just a kid and all, but she&#8217;s got a pretty good head on her shoulders and she&#8217;s been a real</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><script></script> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">friend to me during this painful time. She&#8217;s given me lots of good advice about you and about women in</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">general. She&#8217;s pulling for us to get back together, Connie, she really is.</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">So, we&#8217;re doing Jell-O shots in a hot bubble bath and talking about happier times. Here&#8217;s this teenage girl with</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">the same DNA as you and all I can do is think of how much she looked like you when you were 18. And that</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">just about makes me cry.</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">And then it turns out Vicky&#8217;s really into the whole anal thing, that gets me to thinking about how many times I</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">pressured you about trying it and how that probably fueled some of the bitterness between us. But do you see</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">how even then, when I&#8217;m thrusting inside your baby sister&#8217;s cinnamon ring, all I can do is think of you?</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><script></script> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">It&#8217;s true, Connie. In your heart you must know it. Don&#8217;t you think we could start over? Just wipe out all the</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">grievances away and start fresh? I think we can.</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">If you feel the same please, please, please let me know.</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Otherwise, can you let me know where the fucking remote is.</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p>
