Thanks, Jim, and welcome. It was a great spoof, and you suckered me in (that'll teach me to read Defamer without coffee by my side!); if only we could get you up here to Canada! You'd be a big hit in Bountiful, I tell ya. Miss Elisabeth, you sound like you've got a level head and a good take on the whole matter.

Really? That’s it? Not your intelligence, your kindness, your love? Nevermind the whole double standard about guys’ virginity… I just think that wayyyy too much emphasis is put on the virginity thing to begin with.</i> Aye, this is true. However, it may not be the most precious thing (that is your entire being that you are submitting to your husband . . . and he is offering his to you) but it is a precious gift indeed. And the double standard, honestly, does not exist in many Christian circles. I've never, honestly, thought about it much before, and while I acknowledge its presence in the world at large, in my social circles, it really doesn't exist, which is very cool. Virginity? Really?

For one thing, the kids are up to five years younger. Ickypoopoo.
