I have no idea who Ms. Oblivious is, but I appreciate her efforts to expose someone who could do with considerably more exposure. I hope to get with EMG and find out what rules, if any, now govern behavior on the site and whether they apply to everyone equally. Yes, it's a shame I didn't turn out t...

I have a card on my wall with a picture of a lady wearing a knit cardigan. Its like one of those old 1950s catalogue pictures..Underneath the picture it states " She tried to be kind,but it was easier to be cruel" ~shes wearing this Mona Lisa smile/ I love that picture. We have that same picture an...

I'll have to answer for Mr. Oblivious on this one...

He prefers airline paper bags. You can still kill yourself with them, but it takes more showmanship. :wink:

Ms. Oblivious thinks that it's not polite for users to use multiple accounts to harass certain users. Ms. Oblivious knows that Mr. Oblivious is really Morrcomm and she thinks people ought to know. Ms. Oblivious thinks that it should be noted how Mr. Oblivious seems to harass Sandy at every turn. Ms...

Weakness is a sign of strength. Strength is a sign of commas.

And only one comma used. I salute you! :wink:

Commas are a sign of weakness.

I like this one. This should be reposted in the Quotations/Proverbs thread. (And I mean that as a compliment! :wink: )

(Latest polls show that over half the American public thinks the war is a mistake. Those pollsters aren't talking to the right people, are they?) I think we both realize that polls are a snapshot of public mood at a given point in time. Poll numbers also change over time, and especially with how th...

Sorry, gurlbidesign, I'm already married, but I'm flattered by the offer! :wink:

I have to go with gurlbidesign on this one. I have family that will most likely be in Iraq shortly, and I've had friends serving there from the start. What I've always heard from them is a very different picture than what I always see presented in the media. Without them, I would probably believe th...

I'm finding I have that same problem, Mallic. Whatever I might have hoped to do in the lucid dream while I was awake, it's turning out there's always something in the dream itself that's so interesting or just plain bizarre that I can't help but go with it and see what's next. The "false awakenings"...

Clicking on the last page number under a topic on a forum summary page, then finding a page with no posts at all and having to go back and click on the next-to-last page number under that topic! Argh!

Mallic, I couldn't agree with you more. I think that's a great summary of it, too.

Mine is a simple sentence a friend told me the other week. I was complaining about some hassles with a project I'm working on, and he just nodded toward my wife across the room and said, "Yeah, true, but look who you married." That one's going to keep putting things in perspective for me for a long ...

I've spent the last three weeks listening to EMG's Lucid Dreaming files. Off-line life isn't given me much time, unfortunately, and I've been lucky to manage three or four of these trances per week since starting. Even so, something is definitely happening. I'm remembering more dreams, and in much m...

Hopefully, I can get back into the mix here on a regular basis sometime soon after New Year's, if all goes well! Morrcomm, I didn't realize you would be away until after New Year's, although I did know you have a rather tall order between now and then--in fact, probably later than that. Not away co...

Anti-war protesters who mistake the Mercedes-Benz logo for the Peace symbol. That just irks me more and more each time I see it.

Back to Dungeon Keeper 2 for a while, if only to hear that great sound the imps make when the "Hand of Evil" reminds them to get back to work.

Mmm... you may want to check my post more carefully before you assume I had only written "Wow." I don't know why you are being so hostile towards me though. Have I offended you in some way?

That's a fun post, drydreamer. It reminds me of a Domme I was talking to at a munch several years ago. We were talking about how exhausting a 24/7 kind of kink relationship could become. She just shook her head, rolled her eyes, and said, "What nobody ever told me was that the seven stood for how ma...

I can't say the snowfall was linked to global warming or that there was two feet of it or that it fell over the entire city of Los Angeles. But you're not Ross Gelbspan.

Several times in this thread, some have wondered why intelligent people find it so easy to discount global warming. It's a good question, and one of the answers has to be rhetoric like the below: "When the year began with a two-foot snowfall in Los Angeles, the cause was global warming." Believe it ...

I was playing Master of Orion III and Vampire: Bloodlines on the PC before I had to reformat my hard drive a few months ago. Haven't loaded them back up yet, though, since I got sucked into Medal of Honor: Frontline on the PS2. The D-Day landing level is one of the most intense things I've ever play...

I remember the first time a trigger like that ever worked on me. It felt like every Christmas morning I'd ever had, all rolled into one.

Hi, alloiledup, When you've been listening to multiple files, have you been stringing them together into a single, long session? I know that's worked for some people, but nothing much happened for me when I ganged them together like that. I ended up having much more success with multiple files when ...

I've had it happen in combination with a trigger, definitely. So that when I read a certain word or saw a certain symbol, I would go into trance and treat the text that followed like any other hypnotic session. (It's been a long time, though, and that trigger's faded since then. Still not sure if th...

I'm guessing at least a few people here are familiar with using the Goldwave program, and I'm hoping they might have some advice on a sound issue.

Hi, Pentameter, You posed a really interesting question. Have you found more success in tackling a problem head-on with hypnosis or in using a more indirect approach? For the acting itself, it might be worth considering a file that focused on "empathy" rather than "performance." Building and enhanci...
