Comment on A Play-Doh Life by Julia

Ah, I can smell it right now. Nothing like Play-Doh!
I used to make it when I babysat… flour, food colouring… there must have been something else to make it stick together? Water??
Here’s to many happy hours of rolling and smashing!

Comment on Don’t Panic by Stacey Thomas

I too suffer from these on occasion, and your mother hit the nail on the head…”For me it was refusing to face something I found personally threatening or extremely distasteful”.

Working with GJ was both for me, and I had a panic attack like I had never had in my life the one night. I sincerely hope I never have one on that scale again.

I remember both of the above and stuggled myself when you were both small. It was a time when my stable home was in jeopardy. I had them when out and about (remember one particularly in K-mart) when I thought if I did not get home I would surely die. But the worst came one night while working 11- 7. I had to leave. That was when I sought counseling as I had to work. Could not let them interfer. It was our bread and butter. Once I made the appointment they disappears and have not resurfaced.

For me it was refusing to face something I found personally threatening or extremely distasteful (as the above was both)

Hope to never experience again.

Oh yes, I remember that not-so-fondly! I’ve not had panic attacks, but anxiety attacks. I had them after the whole “house getting struck by lightning resulting in the fire” thing. Just thinking about being in that house evoked such a fear that my pulse and heartbeat would race and I would hyper-ventiale and needless to say the room would spin, etc. I still don’t like to be anywhere near that house! Just thinking about that house makes my heart race. For a long time, thunderstorms resulted in the same kind of panic. I am happy to say that I can now sometimes sleep through a storm and if I can’t sleep, I don’t hyper-ventilate or need the drugs that I was given at the time to control those attack! Either one is not fun, I’m sure!

I’m sorry no one played along, including myself. But I did enjoy your response on Kris’ original post. ;o)

Too bad. I do like writing games but perhaps not on a Monday.

@Julia: Well, that’s part of the intrigue of it all, I guess. Ah, well; I thought it was a damned fun idea. Clearly I overestimated others’ interest in doing writing games. NEXT!

Maybe I’m just not awake, but I can’t be entirely sure whether the lips belong to the person wearing the shoes, or if the shoe-wearer is male and the lips belong to a female. I was hoping someone else could start, I guess.

WOW. Nothing like falling flat on your ass with a blogging idea. Whew.

I completely understand the phenomenon of hacking, seeing as I live with a rather creative computer programmer… but my own muse seems to be wandering aimlessly about the apartment. Sometimes she is here when I sit down, and sometimes I think she is surfing at Bondi Beach. If you know how to find that “glowing spot” please share.

Great to see yet another post from you and you know nobody is looking forward more to your guest post than I am. Thanks again!

Maybe your problems are centered around your genius! Too much intelligence for one person to handle. Learn to train your brain young Jedi and it may be less difficult to fly that kite. I just tried to sound intelligent. It probably didn’t succeed so ignore this paragraph.

The only morning erection I like to visit is in MN. But I might find myself up to adventure. Good luck with the guest blog!

Comment on I Bless My Child Down in Africa by Jurgen Nation

Jurgen Nation — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 23:03:56 +0000

Thank you for raising a child with respectable, well-rounded musical influences! Toto is all kinds of awesome and I love your word – “haunting.” It really is, but it’s a weird kind of haunting that isn’t totally sad but it’s not happy, either. It’s…wanting. A little bit of quiet desperation.

Eh. I am not making any sense whatsoever. LOVE THIS, though!

Comment on (Dis)Connecting Us All by Julia

I don’t think technology can ever replace personal contacts, but it can enhance or degrade existing relationships. I’ve certainly made good friends online, yourself included – and sometimes it’s the only way I can keep in touch with those I’ve moved away from. But I crave coffee dates and just hanging out, so e-mail and Skype can only do so much!

I agree with your comments about our sincerity in person, though – it’s very tempting to put on a brave face and go out into the world, and the internet does make it easier to say what we mean while dampening the fear of someone’s reaction. But it can have the opposite effect as well, and encourage us to be even more duplicitous!

Wow, you had a neighbor getting a booty call. It’s more intriguing the way you described the happenings, than the actual encounter I bet. I will be noting that you are guest blogger on March 6th tomorrow. Take care and keep up the great posts.

I met my wife when she was a performer for an adult entertainment site. Therefore, I stand very much in favor of electronic communication; it brings people together. As the tagline for our online meeting place went, “This is the place where people come together.” Can’t put it much better than that.

I have a distant relative who actually had a 2nd child only because she found out how much her WIC and food stamp $$ would go up, Yes Niche, that’s a moron. Now, she’s had a 3rd and if it was a boy, she was willing to give away her 2nd child (also a boy) to a relative cause she didn’t NEED 2 boys!!!!!

I think it’s important to have a happy balance of technology and person to person contact. I think both have their roles in society and man kind’s interaction!

I love technology. I met my best friend Andrea online, on a cooking message board. I met you and Yolanda for all intents and purposes online. You are both very dear friends, in my book. I have friends where I live, sure. Why limit myself though? It hasn’t made me or anyone I know “less human”…if anything, it has shown me that we are all human, and all looking to make a connection with others outside our immediate worlds.

There is so much talk of “world peace”…surely the smaller the world grows via technology, the closer we get to the possibility?
