HI, NAN!! ! Did you turn Chuck into a singing frog?? 
Good job!
You are all so funny! Due to circumstances beyond my control, I will be without a computer for a period of time. I want to thank all of you for the acceptance and laughter that I found on this thread! I came here looking for answers about my children and my husband and instead found myself in your writing. You have given me strength to go through what has been a very trying time. I do hope to come back when I have found a new-to-me computer but that will take time and many things may change by then. I will only be able to check the site when I am at my parents and that isn't often, I'm afraid.
Take care and thank you!

Stay street smart, try out the computers in the shops, they're hooked to the net.
Library's too.

What is it with you guys... (as the expression goes)... I'm sure I've already shown off before, by saying that I saw The Animals live at the Ram-Jam club in Brixton (West Indians only, almost, but I was a member
).
I noticed that We Gotta Get Out Of This Place gets its own, whole page. I also note (via that), that it was the English version on the YouTube recording.

We waited ten minutes before starting because the three of us that cared to be there on time were not deemed enough to start with and anyway, those who are prompt always have to pay for it by having to wait for others, whether they show up or not. Finally, the presenter decided those faithful three were now worthy after waiting the requisite late start and started the PowerPoint presentation by reading to us what it said up on the screen.
This guy was telling us to tense up all our muscles and then let them go, tense them all up and let them go. . .visualize warm sun shining down on us. I just had to open my mouth and say "Endorphins are our friends" and the presenter guy said "oh, you know about endorphins?? " and I just said 'yes'.
Somewhere he asked 'who can you think of that has overcome obstacles?' I half raised my hand. Cripes there were only three of us, I was trying to be helpful. "Who?" he said, "Me" I said, 'How?" and I showed the class my 14 inch scar across my cheek and told them I broke my back in 5 places when I did it. I said I overcame that. When will I learn to shut up?? He wanted to know how, when, why, what happened, how did I struggle back and was I now stronger than I was before. I told him it was all a long time ago and I didn't dwell on the negative aspects and I had no idea if I was stronger now than I was before.
Goodness, it was 27 years ago, what were YOU like 27 years ago and how are you different now?? quick, answer fast because some dude you didn't know ten minutes ago wants to use you in front of the class as an object lesson!!
I just said I didn't know and then we were passed out the same PowerPoint presentation in paper form to read on our own. In it was a test about how resilient you were to change and stress. I took the test. The presenter guy said. . .well. . if you got over 70% on the test you can leave, or come up here and teach the class. .
I packed it up and packed it in and got up and left. I actually had to get back, my 45 minutes were over. . but I just couldn't stand it there any more.
I got 90% on the test.

I just love this story!
(points for not using hemiballismus even once. Proof right there how resilient you are to stress).
You go Merle!

hi. i cheated and skipped to page 447, so i have no idea what the context of this whole forum or at least the other 445 pages or so are about, but i read this and started laughing so hard i scared an innocent (cat) bystander, and also drooled a little spit onto my knee, so thank-you that was really excellent.

Ok I know I need sleep and I can't. I have a meeting at the VA at 3 and can't think of a single excuse not to be there. I used lack of gasoline last time, it isn't raining, it isn't snowing, my drivers license isn't renewed but The Wife has one, ah ha!! The car registration is a month over due. Might work. I'm going to be blubbering lunatic at this one. Maybe I'll just curl up in the fetal position in the corner and refuse to talk. That way they won't know how stupid lack of sleep makes me. Sounds like a plan.
"Backward conditioning: Putting saliva in a dog's mouth in an attempt to make a bell ring."
Interesting sig Lau. So which end of the dog do you need to start at for backwards engineering? Never mind I don't really want to know. Don't ask. I already said I needed sleep. Don't play with that comparison to long, it's gets seriously repugnant.
Stuff, all this stuff in my head, why I say, why. 
All I wanted was to be a real puppet like Pinocchio. That's not so much to ask for is it? Where's a fairy when ya need one.

No worries I do that to everybody, including myself. I drop words, switch words and use to spell poorly till they invented spell check, now I'm a straight A speller and I'm ready for the Ted Mack Original Armature Hour. I have no scruples, no morales and I'm an all around heck of a bingo player. Although I sweep Meerkat stalls at night. If I haven't confused you yet, I'll try harder and always remember, don't feed the trolls or I'll come back.
I'm sure someone will warn you about me at some point. Like another muffin?
PS SwampBlossom is also known as The Wife and she really is an Anthropologist. I always have said it would take one to live with me very long and I was right.
