Ray: the story was OK, but you get major points deducted for combining the first name "Ricardo" with ANY surname beginnign with "Mc____"

Fine contribution, though. Thanks.


:)


Hahhahaaaa. I posted something stupid and Raymond got blamed.

I combined Ricardo with Mc_____ specifically for the purpose of making a difficult name. His mom was from Thailand and his dad was Russian - of the noted Moscow McPheeblefisters. See? I did it again.

/me waits and posts... pondering many things... like at what point the forums go boom due to the thread
I don't know about vBulletin but phpBB goes to at least 13051 pages. That's pages, not posts.

Maureen: someone sent you an IM last night inviting you come laugh at my ghost. You were logged in here, but not inworld. I'll try again if I am unfortunate enough to still be frozen later.


I would never, um, laugh at you, sweetie. I might, however, take pics...:D

Change your User Prefs to 40 posts per page and that is a lot of posts -- Rob's post here is on page 255 for me.

some folks dream in b&w, most people remember their dreams

although some never do

mine are so vivid I often mistake them for reality, however I can tell when I am dreaming at times and have what is called a lucid dream

that happens to me more often now as I get older

when I was younger I used to sleep walk a lot, because my dreams were sooo real

there was one time I might tell you about... we will see hehe
I always dream in color. I don't often remember my dreams but when I do I remember them in vivid detail.

I only had a lucid dream once. There were people chasing me and a lot of other bad stuff happening. I thought to myself, "This dream's getting out of control. I'd better wake up." So I did.

Did anyone else get the rather strange message about being able to post until after 20sec - for like a minute? Just at 10000 too - how poo
Use two different browsers. If I post with Safari I should be able to post again immediately with Firefox without waiting 20 seconds.

OK, Maureen. Here is the pic you've been asking for. It doesnt' look like much.





I"m just standing there, breathing, blinking, and with my eyes moving around the room occasionally

He really is a ghost - you can walk right thru him. Other people that I have helped with this were still physically there and I could push them around, but not Xerxes.
:confused:

Hehe...I was just thinking that this pic is verrrrry nice.;)

Maybe we could just put a picture frame around Xerxes...:)

Or one of those glass display cases...

edit: and geez...I *suppose* it's a good thing you were...with apparel at the time of your ghosting...

I had a nightmare last night- my mom was driving- that is a nightmare on its own- but anyway, she hit an old blue cadillac and the woman driving it was a total bitch. She got out of her car and rushed to ours where she ripped the key out of the ignition like we wd leave. I was so angry i was shaking- it woke me.

At times, they can feel much worse than mere bumps. I am going through such a 'bump' which at the moment feels more like a mountain. Someone close to me says that I am going through a transition in my life, so for me to feel 'growing pains' is normal. He also says that after going through this, I will be a better person for it. I know that this is probably true, and that he is trying to make me feel better, but at the moment if the choice was mine, I would gladly remain the 'stunted' person I am.

Hang in there, and I will too. :)
