Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
From someplace on the webThanks! My ceiling fan is set correctly. I can never remember which way is supposed to work for which season.
Now I'm trying to think up a mnenonic that basically says counter clockwise counts down (time going backwards thus the temperature going down?) and clockwise doing the other thing.
Has anyone heard of the handshake induction? I totally want to mind control people.
ita, your own head is broken. How do you think you're gonna control other people's heads?
I need to control them to make up for my lacks. I'm going to outsource my cognitive functions.
With a handshake! It would be so cool.
I'd like to mind control someone into making me a sandwich, for starters.
Popping in to vibe Sean and S. Sorry you're going through more medical drama.
You too, Lee. I don't suppose alcohol would help?
And I want to give belated regards to Hec and JZ, after a crisis weekend. I'm so glad to hear your Halloween baby will be alright.
Speaking of drama, my craxy-ass roommate has put me through enough of hers. Since I'm now a) employed, and b) refunded by SSDI, I'm in a position where I can move. I'm checking out a discount hotel -- a nice one, from the looks of it -- near my place of work. Hoping I can pass their credit check.
(Hi to everyone else!)
Bridget, good luck! Hope the credit check is a piece of cake.
Chocolate cake.
From the Handshake article: "The conscious mind recognizes negation in speech ("Don't do X") however the unconscious mind pays more attention to the "X" than the injunction "Don't do". "
I think this is why little-little children tend to do exactly the thing you just told them not to do. Their conscious controlling mind isn't as developed as their unconscious mind, and what they hear is the positive aspect, not the negative aspect. "Don't pick that up. Don't pick that up! What did I just say?!" And the kid, who's just picked the thing up, stares at you in blank incomprehension. My sister's kids - notoriously contrary - used to do this.
Hypnosis is apparently very "zen". Interesting article.
CUPCAKE!
Chocolate cupcake! More better, more icing per cubic cake.
