Re: The cranky thread

Re: The cranky thread I want a good vantage point so I can laugh.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings Watching the closing ceremony of the Olympics and the season finale of Doctor Who today reminded me that this year is a year of endings for me. Friends leave, and I lose contact with them. A beloved pet dies, hopefully the only death I have to deal with this year. It's the last week of summer session, although I won't miss that too much. Lots of things coming to an end. I know new beginnings come with those, but those seem a bit distant right now. Maybe I'll feel differently in the morning.

Re: The cranky thread I go through that a lot. Hang in there; I know you have the strength. Remember you're not alone.

Re: The cranky thread Ternaugh, my condolences to you and to his family. I'll remember Richard in my prayers. And I shall raise a glass to him.

Re: The cranky thread Ditto.

Re: The cranky thread Somehow, I knew I'd get screwed at every corner today. Bad news was, it wasn't the sexual kind.

Re: I have a dream. (and MAN was it wierd!) Where to begin with this one... I was part of the security detail for the US Women's Gymnastics Team. My team was supposed to make sure they got a certain place safely. I was talking to a couple of them, and they told me about a fellow gymnast (not part of the Olympic team) who was going to retire because of her injuries. One of my real-life coworkers told me my Dad had called, so I called him back and talked to him. His voice was pretty faint, since he wasn't feeling so well. My team eventually delivered the girls safely to their destination. For some reason, I couldn't remember all the gymnasts' names, but one of them was actress Shay Mitchell. While all this was going on, a married couple found that their home contained a dimensional rift where demons could come through. They were able to capture a demon that was bestial rather than human in form and locked it in a cage in their garage. But that night, their next door neighbor was bothered by the noise the demon was making and freed it. For some reason she let in a room where I was, but I was able to escape before it pounced on me. Then I was waiting for a boat service which operated like a bus line. There was this one guy who decided to mock me (in the dream he had done this before). I got tired of it and punched him in the head. Since there was time before the boat left, I went away and bought a softcover novel. Upon returning to the boat, I gave the annoying guy another smack on the head with the book for good measure. I ended up beside a building with a few friends. I knew there were demons still about, but there was this one guy who was so innocent and pure of heart, the demons couldn't harm him. But he could destroy them by singing. He squared off against a demon (this one could pass for a human), and his songs conjured silver bullets that flew into the demon's throat. That evening, I headed home. I started praying for peace, since I had enough excitement with the demons and all. My house was a large Victorian, but there was a large hole in one of the wings because of all the carnage that was going on. As soon as I entered my housekeeper told me that Aphrodite (yes, the one portrayed by Alexandra Tydings in Hercules: The Legendary Journeys) was here and wanted to talk to me. When I met her, she told me my dog was diabetic, and she had special food to help it get better.

Re: Quote of the Week From My Life. I would have, but the Summer of Love is an inappropriate topic for an 8 year-old child.

Re: Quote of the Week From My Life. Oh, the joys of teaching an 8 year-old! I was teaching her subtraction with borrowing, and I was going to show her how to calculate people's age. She didn't want to divulge her birth year, so I volunteered mine. Me: I was born in 1967... Student: No you weren't; that was the time of the Gold Rush!

Re: Genre-crossover nightmares Jack and Mr. Beanstalk

Re: A Thread for Random Musings I saw someone dressed in costume on the bus ride home. He said he was a "superhero who lost his superpowers." Thing is, he didn't act like a superhero. He was loud and obnoxious with his pals who weren't in costume, but were just as loud and obnoxious (are superheroes allowed to drop the f-bomb?). And all that bragging about killing meth dealers didn't help. I don't think he understands what it actually means to be a superhero. Just to be sure, I looked at the real-life superhero registry, but I couldn't find him. I guess he was just another crazy guy in the city. At least I have an interesting story to share with you folks.

Re: NBC Revolution The trailer showed a pistol being fired, although it looked more like a flintlock than a modern firearm. I expect not everything will make sense, but as long as it's consistent within itself, I'll be okay with it.
