By the survivors I have met. The ones who have managed to escape the groups/cults/whatever. The ones who are being called back on a weekly basis. The folks who are doing the hardest work of their lives to put their lives back together. I wouldn't want to be the one to tell them what they...

I sure picked a bad week to stop smoking crack. Also a bad week to tell Direct TV to perform a physically impossible task. My coworkers and I were addicted to both seasons. We'd manage to locate them before they aired here. I have no earthly idea why they did what they did with the cast...

I don't believe I've ever seen chopped liver use a computer before so I am inclined to believe that you are not, unless proven otherwise. I work with some people who are not as bright as liver, but that's a different story entirely.

This points out the absolute worst part of the net: the total lack of standards for behavior. This is precisely the type of person who pulls all sorts of cheap tricks while driving. Driving and posting are faceless. In person is a different story entirely. This person is probably a lamb in...

My plinth is killing me. The doctor said to keep medicating it. Come to think of it, that's his recommendation for EVERYTHING. Btw, is a plinth the same thing as a plynth? I ask because I don't have any idea what either is, aside from a Jeff Beck tune. Regards from across the pond, -lefty

whatever you choose to label it, intergenerational ritual abuse went on and is going on now. I'm sorry to hear about your wife. I didn't know one could become bipolar. Hopefully she has found something that helps her with the cycling.

Bless you :) As you might imagine, I'm one of those. Someone tried to hypnotize me once. It was a scene right out of a sitcom. He talked and talked, getting more relaxed and using guided imagery. While he was doing his business, I became increasingly agitated by the traffic noise outside...

To restate: some of the effects and reports around SRA/MC and alien abduction appear similar. Before anybody's panties get wadded up too tightly, I am talking about descriptions. I am not saying one is the other. As I mentioned elsewhere, I came to this via the study of multiple...

Welcome! I'm a few days ahead of you.

Is this something that can be done by the attention-impaired? You know - the people who can't shut down the machine to meditate....

I'll say! Just got back from gigging outdoors. I used the 15w ProJr and didn't turn it past 3. People think you need huge wattage. Not us, right :) Terry Kath, the late Chicago guitarist, used a Bogen. You're in good company.

I cannot cite a specific publication. I remember reading, several times, about the hoo-ha around the lab-book. It was many years ago. Perhaps that it `disappeared', but I'm not certain. Just to clarify, I am making no assertions. My real curiosity is the transition from tubes to...

Lots of disclosure talk recently, esp with Obama getting into office. After hearing its main proponent on many podcasts, I am left wondering... How can people talk about Obama and disclosure? It's not that the gentleman doesn't make good points, but for my money, Obama won't have much...

she always strikes me as a drama queen of sorts. Makes it more about her than the topic, which is a shame.

It has been speculated that even order harmonics, as produced by tubes, are more aurally pleasing. It is claimed that odd order harmonics, as produced by solid state circuitry, are more harsh to the ears. But that doesn't fit your claim. Can you explain further? All I know is that I like...

You betcha. Valves are where it's at (tubes here Across the Pond). Next to the avatar is one of my sayings: I'm not a tube snob - I'm a thermionic elitist. Thermionic emission is the process by which tubes/valves work. Also the title of my blog. I used to hear all sorts of talk about...

I strongly suspect there are many things about the Moon we don't know. Bathwater out, keep baby. Thanks for the link, Gareth - I'll definitely check it out.

Tell us how you REALLY feel. Don't hold back.

Taking abduction exactly as stated, I have to wonder how some people can be all gushy over their abductors. I definitely feel sorry for anyone who has been abducted - it's a violation. How can one claim to be friends with someone/something that takes you without permission, repeatedly? How...
